01 Architecture and Design School Addition Location: Lawrence, Kansas Area: 38,000 sqft Project Year: Spring 2020 Partner Project Both the architecture and design school at the University of Kansas are looking expand. This building will act as a bridge bringing together both architecture and design into one integrated building. By creating a building that far stood out from surrounding buildings and campus, we hoped to create an enviornment that encouraged students to be creative and not be afraid to be different.
Concept Design
PROCESS CLAY SCULPTURE
Step 1
Step 2
To start this project we researched images on the web about how we wanted our building to feel. Through these photos we wanted to convey a feeling seperated but whole and that upon first glance it felt chaotic but upon analysis was quite organized.
We were then asked to create a model of what a sculpture would look like when combining the attitudes of our photos together. Along with how it would act and feel to the public as a building.

ARCHITECTURE
02
Overlaid a regularized grid perpendicular to the exisiting buildings
We had to decide how much of our building was going to reflect the concepts we came up with in the prior steps. My partner and I decided we wanted to challenge the ideas of what art and architecture is and what they represent by coming up with a building design that was sculpturesque but still functioned soundly as a building.

Pollution Study Haenglim Architecture
The purpose of this CO2 emission study of Seoul was to raise awareness of the pollution being produced by the people of Seoul and advocate for the use of greener buildings. Through data calculations, inferences, and research, I made a graphic representation of two of the biggest areas that impact CO2 emissions, land use and cars.

Solar Panel Visitor Center DLR Group
The driving factor of this building design was to make visitors go on a journey. Working with a project architect, we developed the story and how to shape the building for people to seamlessly move through it. My primary role, along with helping with the development of the journey, was creating sun studies, modeling the building, and creating the final renderings. I also had the opportunity to present the project to the client.

Sports Complex 4 0 DLR Group
The sports complex consisted of a mixed use building both for the public and private areas for members as well as multiple sport fields for varying sports. For this project we started with developing simple massing layouts with different building and outdoor function configurations. Working around the site was the biggest challenge for this project. After choosing two opposing design options with different site considerations, I was given a scheme to further develop and change.

The project was located in a hot and humid location, so in the second phase of design we focused on how to make people feel comfortable by providing shade throughout the site. It was my responsibility to develop a variety of canopies, using Rhino and Grasshopper, that wove through the site to provide shade in the most crucial areas. Once a canopy was chosen, the site was further developed to create renderings.

05 Exploration into Urbanism Location: Lawrence, Kansas Area: 73,500 sqft Project Year: Fall 2019 A mixed use development on top of a piece of a “big box store” to better understand how to use space efficiently in an urban sprawl. To explore forms that best suit the program and precedent we were given. It provides easy access for all members of the community within the development and around Lawrence. It creates a new sense of intrigue to the area which Lawrence lacks.
As we get farther into the future more people will be forced to relocate due to rising sea levels and other various problems. That will bring the people more inland, forcing the Midwest population to skyrocket. Between wanting to keep the rural areas rural and the cities filling, people are forced to the suburbs. To better utilize the space, buildings are being built on top of existing buildings and creating new cities.

My precedent city was San Gimignano. It was called the “City of Towers” because of its main feature.
Towers were extruded up to mimic the key feature of San Gimignano.

06 Daycare Center Location: Lakin, Kansas Area: 26,000 sqft Project Year: Spring 2018 A building that will act as a twenty-four hour daycare and a science center for the community of Lakin, Kansas. It will also be used to bring members of the community, and people from other cities, together in an ambiguous way with no true boundaries or rules.
Site Analysis Lawrence

Wichita
Lakin, Kansas is a small town located in south western Kansas with no major highways passing through it. Lakin is an extremely flat site with no buildings setting it apart from the landscape.
Concept
01

43
Lakin is a very flat site that is easily missed by passersby on the highway
Turn the hill into artificial steps so the massing can be walked on and turned into an outdoor gathering area
02
Push up the site to create an artificial hill that will draw the eye of drivers passing by on the highway
04
Steps get pushed and pulled to create unique and playful experience

07 Digital Fabrication: 3D Printer This project was to explore the capabilities rhino had within building design. The goal was to develop a mass that resembled an advanced building form and facade and understand the process of transferring a rhino model to a 3D printer to be printed.
43
Grasshopper Script
Five circular curves all at different heights, rotations, and positions lofted together. The rebuild command was used to recreate the base from a circle to a triangle.
To create the hexagons, the center of the countour layers was used to find the points in which the hexagons were extrude from by using the hexagon panel. The cap command was used to close the hexagons and extruded to emphasize the design.
Full Script
44
Digital Fabrication: Laser Cutter This project was designed to allow for creative freedom with all the skills that had been learned in rhino up to that point. The end goal was to create a lampshade out of cardboard and to understand the process of creating contour lines for the laser cutter.
45
Grasshopper Script
To begin the form, four curves were lofted together to get the desired shape rather than using the offset commend
Two points were selected within the lofted surface
The two points were connected to a guassian curve creating the wings of the rocket ship
The surface was then baked to create a solid form
In Rhino, the boolean difference tool was used to carve out the inside of the mass
Contour lines were created to be used to in the laser cutter
46
Digital Fabrication: CNC Machine This first project was to understand the basics of rhino and the potential it had in the design world. The project helped to explored how complex a form could be with simple commands on a single surface. The surface was then exported to be used on the CNC machine.
47
Grasshopper Script
A surface was created with three points placed randomly on it
The randomly placed points on the surface
The points were then plugged into the graphmapper and a sine summation was used to generate the surface wavest
The aplitude of the sine wave was set to three to amplify the effects
For the original design, a hexagon patten had a random surface cut from the top to create a wave pattern
The Brep Join command was used to join the hexagonal surface and solid surface into on combined surface
