Architecture Portfolio 2018 (OUTDATED)

G R E TC H E N K E L LY ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

My interest in architecture was first sparked

by seeing the wonders of the city of Chicago.

Through visiting and experience the vast

architecture buildings that call Chicago home, I

knew that I wanted to be a designer that created the built world. From the age of 11, I have been

inspired by how it combines my love of science, math, and design. Since that point I have

dreamed of ending up in the city that inspired

my dream of becoming an architect. Architecture to me isn’t just about the forms and the way that

the building evokes emotion, it’s also about how the building shapes the occupant’s lives and

enhances their experience. My passion lies in

designing healthy, sustainable environments that people can cherish through out their daily lives.

Through studios and internship experience, I

have found an immense love for education and

civic design, that I would love to continue further.

PERSONAL INTERESTS

1 CENTRAL TERRACE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Crossroads District Kansas City, MO

Architectural Design III Fall 2016 Professor Nilou Vakil Revit, AutoCad Photoshop, Illustrator Kansas City is an ever changing city that is in a position to revive itself and its neighborhoods. The Crossroads District is no exception. A district that was once filled with empty warehouse has been transformed by the artists of Kansas City. The district is now being called home to many young professionals in the area. With all the movement into this district, a school is a needed addition to provide education to the growing demographic of families that are now located within this neighborhood. This addition to the community will encourage growth within the city and create a lively district within which everyone wants to live and work.

COMMON CORE

With the buildings massing following the sites boundaries a central core was created where the two masses intersect. This space became the central circulation for the building and main focal point. Illuminated by natural light and views to the Kaufman Preforming Arts Center.

FLEXIBILITY IN CLASSROOM

Seen through this school, a focus on a classroom collaborative learning studio which can be used by two classrooms had a huge design emphasis on the building. This design thought is illustrated from the facade with the class bump outs that let light into this space and illuminate the collaborative learning spaces from the facade.

ACTIVATE THE STREET

Bringing an active street front to Central Street was a key aspect of the massing and design of the building. The Crossroad district is currently not very walkable. Through this design a treeline was added and large sidewalks were created to make a welcoming entrance into the school as well as city.

2 BETHANY PARK LIVING

Kansas City, Kansas - Bethany Neighborhood

Architecture Design V Fall 2017 Professor Shannon Criss Rhino, Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator When Bethany Hospital was torn down, the city of Kansas City, Kansas knew that they wanted to infill the site with affordable housing that had a focus on inter-generational living. Posed with the project of master planning 8 acres and the surrounding neighborhood was the bases of the design. The design concept came through looking at how to navigate through a site with an 80 foot drop from one corner to the other. The concept of the housing terracing down the hill and conforming to the hill provided amble southern exposure light to every building and easy navigation of the site.

This also extended to the green bands that extend onto the adjacent strip lots, each of these green spaces though out the site was programed for the community as well as the neighborhood. All design were made with the mission statement in mind which focused on building healthy and sustainable community with an emphasis on education and entrepreneurial spirit.

3 CHALMERS HALL RENOVATION Cross Laminated Timber, Glass, Concrete

Architecture Design IV Spring 2017 Professor Chad Kraus Design - Build Awards: American Architecture Prize

Interior Design - Student Category International Green Interior Awards

Student category 2017 AIA Kansas Student Design Award The Dirt Works Studio renovated a 6,000 squarefoot space in Chalmers Hall. Formerly located in this slice of space were a cramped coffee kiosk and a small, dimly lit seating area - adjacent to an important but under utilized gallery, a multipurpose classroom, and a windowless conference room. Due to the favorable location, the studio seized upon an opportunity to transform this area into a collaborative, dynamic, and sensorial environment. With one and a half semesters, the design-build studio set out to breath new life into the heart of Chalmers Hall.

4 OLATHE PUBLIC LIBRARY Olathe, Kansas

Architectural Design II Spring 2015 Professor Todd Achelpohl Revit, Sketch Up, Photoshop, Illustrator Taking inspiration from Olathe’s origin was the concept that is seen through out the library design. Olathe was the crossroads of the Santa Fe and Oregon Trail. The massing of the library was focused on this and inspired the splitting point of the two wings of the building where the trails diverged and expand westward. The slope of the roof out to the west represents the expansion outward and a salute to these two trails and all they did for America. The red terracotta panels were used to blend in with the rest of the existing area while still maintaining a modern front. The height of spaces within the library were played with to give every guest a special area to study or read in during their time within the space.

PLAY IN HEIGHT

To create unique places within all parts of the library, the upper floor was cut back to create a two story area that wraps the facade of the building. This created a very open two story place for collaborations as well as more intimate smaller spaces located within.

5 RENDERINGS, GRAPHICS & DESIGN Pittsburg High School

DLR Group Intern Project Team: Joe Breidenbach, Tammie Crocker and Gretchen Kelly Revit, Illustrator and Photoshop As an architectural intern at DLR Group, I was apart of several design teams within the K-12 education studio, one being Pittsburg High School a 19 million dollar renovation and addition to the existing high school.

The project included a cafeteria, music and administration addition with the renovation of special ed, media center, social commons and science labs. Within the project I assisted from conceptual design through the end of design development. I designed interior spaces, assist in the design of the exterior facades. Through the project, I sat in all client, code and team meetings. Responsibilities included all graphics and layouts for this project and effectively communicating the work to the Pittsburg community and school.

6 PERSONAL INTERESTS Grand Haven, Michigan and Kansas City, Missouri

Photography and Branding September 2014 - Current Lightroom and Illustrator Searching for a creative outlet outside of architecture school during my freshman year, I created an Instagram that I curated images towards a personal brand. Inspired by where I grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan, my personal style has evolved and grown through my time in architecture school. Through this personal project, I have found a love of photography of everyday life, branding and curating content to post.

As architecture school can be draining and bring creative dead-ends, I turn to this project to find inspiration and have a place to be creative outside the realm of architecture.
