Undergraduate Thesis Location: Arundel, Maine In progress The architecture is as Jennifer Bloomer describes it: “..both a container and a conduit, the sea and the ship.. the disseminated and the instrument of dissemination.. it marks the point of exchange, the lip, the rim of the flow. The verge, where something is about to happen.�

The architecture is both form and content. An existing farmhouse typology in New England took on the popular phrase, “big house, little house, back house, barn” due to its connectedness. Descartes coined the term, “res extensa,” which translates into “the spatially extended thing.” This typology is manipulated to further study light & interiority & exteriority; multi centers; rhythms (forms & work); visual forms & access to visual forms (interior & exterior); frontality; functional separation; highly private

& highly public situations; permanence & change.

It is important to distinguish between the difference of the architecture as an object, and the space of that object. Rainer Maria Rilke asserts, “Everywhere there is exchange, circulation of the interior and exterior.” The architecture aims to achieve & emphasize this multiplicity inherent in the constructed world, and human interactions with it.

Parliament House

Location: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso In collaboration with: Michael Schrepfer The former, corrupt Burkinabe Parliament building was burned down in fall 2014 by political activists. The new proposal aims to create a strong, impactful object within the landscape, which acts as a symbolic and powerful representation of the new Burkinabe government.

NEW PARLIAMENT HOUSE IN OUAGADOUGOU HALEY MAGUIRE . MICHAEL SCHREPFER

atelier kéré AAM . SS 2015

Site plan 1:2000

The parliament stands as a nearly 25 meter tall rock amongst the city’s desert-like central business district.

Its position on the block creates a break from the bustle of the main road, and gives focus to the building. All four sides of the existing ground gently slope inward toward the building. The area in front of the parliament is bereft of trees, which will only be inhabited by passer-bys and parliament workers during the day.

Day

At night, the parliament transforms into a sort of stage, or meeting point, where locals may come to sell food and goods, play concerts, and interact.

The inverted nature of the monumental cube allows for a level of privacy that a parliament house demands, while creating a unique condition at sun down during which locals may use the monumental backdrop as a grounds for cultural activity.

The facade is composed of the same concrete block, one meter high and wide, rotated in various ways, reminiscent of the traditional style of houses in the countryside. The building is, also like the traditional communities, a completely inverted entity. Voids exist on each floor, resulting in a series of courtyards over multiple stories. Light penetrates the entire volume from two openings on the roof level. Wind towers also vertically penetrate the building, reducing energy loads.

Houses for Birds

Location: Lago Maggiore, Italy In collaboration with: Hannah Matthews The existing condition on Lago Maggiore is a highly active water table and an overpopulation of birds. The Isolina Partegora, maintaining an area of 3500 meters, holds an identity which is constantly changing with its surroundings, and at times almost unrecognizable.

The proposed architectural intervention is a regional and territorial expansion of the island’s existing contours.

of poles, forming an inner boundary at the island’s existing footprint.

The system is anchored by thirty four 18 meter towers that occupy the perimeter of an outer contour at equal distances. This creates a direct extension of the island through a system of steel cables which are fixed to steel poles at the base of the towers and then perpendicularly brought inward and fixed to another set

This structural film and distribution of towers increase the actual footprint of the island, while its adaptive system and structural piers serve as visual testaments of time and phsycial change that relate back to the island itself, as well as its cyclical yet emphemeral context, the Lago Maggiore.

Observatory

Location: Marshall, North Carolina In aim to accommodate local sciences, scientists, and communal interests, multiple buildings begin to set into and on top of the ground. Their playful sectional nature creates a unique experience upon inhabitation and exploration.

The buildings are set apart and set relative to each other, creating a variety of interstitiary spaces which allow for private and public occupation at multiple points throughout the cycle of a day.

These scaled constructions create a hierarchy of space.

The hierarchy is experienced in the sectional nature of the architectural elements within the buildings, as well as the buildings within the site.

A heavy concrete screen presences itself at various points throughout the buildings, acting as a protective and light-filtering layer. The most massive screen hugs the apartments and laboratory space, while providing enough surface area for inhabitants to meet, rest, and eat.

The screen is perceived as heavy and cold from the exterior, but permits a soft, indirect light, and, as a consequence, a lofty quality of space that pervades through the interior.

Restroom

Location: Blacksburg, Virginia In collaboration with: Janice Jones Situated along the southeast side of the Duck Pond, three toilet rooms extrude themselves from a continuous, board-formed concrete wall. The wall’s sculptural qualities create an environmentally sound restroom, as well as a resting point along the pond.

The wall acts as a ventilation system, as well as a host for four composting toilets, while interior volumes of white stone hover over a three inch plinth. It begins to presence itself in the site as an exterior form and interior wall, serving structural, sculptural, and mechanical purposes. This continuous and shifting structure also remains static in that it is referable to itself as a host, and then again referenced by its extruded parasitic forms.

The built relationship between the two creates interstitial and spatially relative rooms that generate a unique quality of place. This yields a building not only out of necessity, but also a robust, formal meeting and resting point that is as much about the private, interior rooms as it is about the resulting exterior, occupiable rooms and nooks.

Recognized as a Citation Award winner.

Primary School

Location: La Estrella, Nicaragua Summer 2014 Internship : KaTO Architecture KaTo partnered with BuildOn in the summer of 2014 to modify an existing schoolhouse typology. Simple architectural methodologies were imparted upon the existing typology, creating a building with a longer life expectancy and a symbolic beacon for the community.

These simple methodologies include a thicker concrete foundation, an extension of concrete slabs on the exterior in order to serve as outdoor gathering spaces, and a truss roof system that provides better natural ventilation and drainage. Community involvement was sustained throughout construction of the project, and their contribution to the community is symbolized by individual, cast-in-concrete handprints that clad the building.

The KaTo team traveled to Nicaragua in August of 2014 to begin groundbreaking. Below top: hand tied re-bar, one of the tasks on site during the groundbreaking. Below bottom: construction site. Top and bottom left: finished school.

Engaging with the non-profit organization, the local community, local contractors, and local labor were key in realizing the built form as a team.

A full set of construction documents were created using Revit. The wall section on the right shows the use of polycarbonate, an available resource in a country with limited resources, allowing for more diffuse, natural light in the school room. Not only was this design to be aesthetically pleasing, but also locally sourced. Due to the remote nature of the site, however, the strategy was ultimately not implemented. Below: typical building section.
