VERTical village Vertical Village is a residential, office, and retail block in the heart of downtown Columbus, adjacent to the Columbus Commons, a seven acre green space including performance space, gardens, and a carousel. The ground level of the block contains entrance to the two residential towers and the office tower, retail space, and a multi level grocery, with underground parking. The roof of this level becomes an elevated ground plane, which contains green space, a swimming pool, and a basketball court, that is open to the public and easily accessible from the towers. The residential towers are organized into four story neighborhoods, each hosting units specific to six different social groups. Columbus, OH Professors Rob Livesey & Bart Overly In Collaboration with Al Argyris & Tyler Brozovich Fall 2014

Ground Floor Plan - The ground level includes retail space to the west, grocery to the east, entry to the residential towers to the north, and entry to the commercial tower to the south west.

Site Roof Plan - The elevated ground plane contains faceted beds of grass creating a public/private maze that leads to a basketball court, a swimming pool, and the towers.

Tower 2 / 9th Floor Plan - The first floor of a neighborhood includes 5 units of differing social groups as well as an outdoor patio on the northwest corner.

Tower 2 / 12th Floor Plan - The upper floors of a neighborhood include 6 units and an atrium open to the floors below.

Tower Program - The Residential Towers are divided into blocks filled with units according to the six social groups, with intermixed public indoor and outdoor space. The office tower is divided into three types of office space: traditional, co-op, and flex. Residential Social Groups: Common Cribs Family Functional Friendly Flats Hip Habitats Loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lofts Party Pads

JESUIT UNIVERSITY OF EAST AFRICA

The goal for the Hekima Jesuit University of East Africa is to use core Jesuit principles to redesign the model of higher education for the globally connected twenty first century. The 1,100 acre site is bordered by two streams and is divided into two landscape conditions: tended green space and natural savanna. The main axis splices through the site at key academic hub buildings, pushing and pulling the different conditions to intersect each other. The splice creates varying scales of public/private and closed/pastoral spaces, which is very important for the security as well as the culture of the East African students.

GERMAN CONSULATE The German Consulate of Cincinnati is a hub for German culture in a city with a rich German heritage. It is home to consulate offices, as well as a museum, auditorium, library, German language school, rathskeller, beer garden, and private residence for the consul and their family. The site is a full city block, and a slice through the middle separates private and public programs, and creates an inviting entry into an outdoor courtyard that is the center of the scheme.

EAST BEND

ALGAE BIOFUEL / CARBON REFINERY

At the East Bend Coal Power Plant in Union, KY, the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research is conducting research in transforming byproducts from the coal plant into biofuel through algae. Currently these experiments are on a very small scale, with hopes of expansion in the future. The East Bend Energy Center is home to laboratories and offices in which more research can take place. Surrounding the building is 100 acres of glass tubing in which CO2 from the coal plant is filtered through algae. The center is a display of modern technology and how it can be used to progress and make the future a better place. Union, KY Professor Anne Filson Spring 2013

1 The building is located to the western side of the coal plant, completely surrounded by the rows of algae. Visitors are directed into the site on the same road as the coal plant, and pass by it after catching a glimpse of the current/ past mode of energy production before being introduced to the algae fields and directed toward the energy center. The drive toward the building is a profound experience through the glowing green of the algae and offers the visitor a sight of cleaner energy for the future.

TRAVEL STUDIO The focus of the travel studio was critical observation and the decoding of the immediate surroundings, and the translation of these observations into architectural ideas, drawings, and constructions. This was realized through two cyphers, in which a set of drawings was created interpreting a specific idea and formalized through a physical model, as well as a large observational hand drawing that combined the forms and ideas experienced throughout the summer. Montpellier, France Professors Mike McKay & Liz Swanson Cypher 1 in Collaboration with Karen Tate Cypher 2 in Collaboration with Sarah Mohr Summer 2013

CYPHER 1 The ideas explored in this cypher are boundaries and negative space. These ideas were explored in Montpellier, where historic buildings are clustered together, enclosing pockets of negative space. These boundaries are broken by various pathways and view corridors, and overlap to create interesting spatial conditions. These ideas were manifested in a solid cube that was dissected and extracted, generating views to overlapping interior spaces of different scales and material.

CYPHER 2 The ideas investigated in this cypher were transparency and reflection. These ideas were observed in Paris, in the glass pieces used to connect existing buildings to create new interior spaces, and the Arab Institute, where the facade mechanically adapted creating various levels of transparency. They were explored in a gridded cube that used solid, transparent, and reflective materials to change the level of transparency and reflection based on the angle of viewing.

This drawing combines perspective, plan, and section of sites experienced throughout Europe on nine 9x12 pages. It weaves in and out of different scales as well as 3 dimensional to 2 dimensional space. It abstractly interprets visual ideas and connects them through line and mass. Some of the places portrayed in the drawing are a constricted alleyway in Montpellier, Millennium Bridge in London, the chapel at La Tourette, Santa Catarina Market in Barcelona, and the rivers in Montpellier, London, and Paris.

FORT ANCIENT

MUSEUM and LODGE

Fort Ancient is a historic site that was home to the Hopewell Native American culture. The site was flattened by the native people, and surrounded on its edges by man made linear mounds. There are ongoing research excavations in which archaeologists visit the site and search for historical artifacts, as well as an existing museum to display the history to the public. The proposed museum combines that program with lodging for visiting researchers, while relocating the building from the northern entrance to the site to the southern tip, overlooking a steep cliff with the Little Miami River flowing below. Washington Township, OH Professor Ming Tang Summer 2011

Section A

The museum and lodge are located at the end of the southern axis of the site. Visitors experience the whole site as they approach the building, with it gradually coming into view as the trees clear and create an opening. New mounds slope in front of the building to the top of first floor, slightly hiding the structure from the viewer. The southern side of the building opens up to a field filled with a modern reinterpretation of the Native American mounds, dissected with pathways to viewing decks overlooking the hills and river beyond.

Section B

TECTONIC SCHOOL The elementary school was an exploration in tectonics and spatial organization. A landscape was created with a MDF armature in which program was infilled through the use of mass, planes, and frames. The organizational driver was the word cluster, guiding the programmatic elements to be divided into small groups and placed throughout the landscape, connected with various forms of circulation. Professor Renee Martin Winter 2011

PEPPER WAREHOUSE The Pepper Warehouse Hotel and AIA Center is a historic rehabilitation of a century old bourbon distillery warehouse in downtown Lexington, KY. The 500,00 SF building is transformed into a multi program hotel and AIA Center, with exhibition studios, manufacturing spaces, and an architecture library. The project is intended to stretch downtown Lexington westward, and revitalized a district that has become industrial and run down. Authenticity and permanence was a driver, creating an authentic Kentucky experience while building a sense of permanence that will attract visitors both locally and from out of state. The AIA center will become a destination for architects and designers from all over the region, while the hotel offers them a place to stay and relax and enjoy the city.
