YEAR:
Oklahoma City, OK Eddy Tavio Fall 2022
Following WWII, urban growth stalled in downtown Oklahoma City in favor of suburban expansion. The Collective aims to bring the preferred suburban living standards into an urban environment. With over 80 apartments, 50 hotel rooms, and almost 20 townhomes, the collective brings together multiple diff erent housing types for diff erent residents needs.
This is done by including homes directly accessible by private parking, ample green space right in inhabitants backyard, food and retail options minutes from their front door, exercise opportunities, and more. This project also includes a pedestrian-only green way east of the site to encourage visitors to comfortably fl ow between the bustling activity of the buildings and the tranquil park beyond.
This project was part of a larger master plan called the “Core-to-Shore”, meant to re-imagine Oklahoma city as the leading framework for the future of urban living. The Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS), “Core to Shore” plan is a development strategy to strengthen the City’s vitality, economy, and image from the downtown core, south to the Oklahoma River.
Key project completions of this plan already show clear investment in the city and momentum for the “Core-toShore” vision. This studio built upon this plan to re-imagine the future of Oklahoma City.

THE HISTORY OF OKLAHOMA CITY
The capitol was moved to Oklahoma City.
The discovery of an oil deposit created an economic boom that carried the City through the Great Depression.
Current population trends
The Great Depression The I.M. Pei plan flattened the density within the Oklahoma City core with the intent to rebuild. Government funding was lost, and city remained barren.

THE FUTURE OF OKLAHOMA CITY
What if 10,000 people moved to the heart of Oklahoma City?
1. Formed an interconnected series of mixed-use districts to build community
2. Established variety in public and green space to build equity between districts
3. Created density and an engaging environment within the downtown framework
Combine prefferred suburban living standards in an urban environment
Proposed Core-to-Shore Conditions
^ This master plan uses existing conditions of the present day Core-to-Shore plans including Scissortail Park, the Oklahoma River, and other existing public spaces and roads. Additional density is 32 studio projects created by peers, and additional infill.

Entertainment Corridor
The “Core-to-Shore” framework plan was divided up into 6 Districts. Situated at the center of the framework, the North Park District plays a key role in fostering movement from the downtown, all the way south towards the river. Along the west end of Scissortail Park a corridor of entertainment formed, full of nightlife, restaurants, retail, community spaces and more. Among peer teamwork, projects within this district carefully molded a connection between the active and loud northern arena district, to the quieter, family oriented southern districts. This transition was done using each projects individuals program and density.

Postmodern Museum of Art

YEAR:
Lawrence, KS
CJ Armstrong Fall 2021
Cultural precincts, containing museums and art centers, play a signifi cant social and cultural role in cities bringing vitality to urban life and educating their citizens. Downtown lawrence has a broad cross section of history and art, celebrated by it’s citizens through murals and art pieces.
This Postmodern Art Museum celebrates the culture and individualism that the city encompasses and shows the historic celebration of work just like it. The Postmodernist movement has rich history just like Lawrence, Kansas, and here we can celebrate and continue both.

BRIDGING CULTURES
Cultural Arts Center
LOCATION: PROFESSOR:
YEAR:
Kaw Point Park - Kansas City, KS
Shannon Criss
Spring 2021
The purpose of this project was to design a community center that would serve the needs and limitations of the current site and surrounding neighborhoods. Kaw Point Park sits right in the middle of Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri, right at the convergence of their two respective rivers. Kansas City is a very diverse but culturally segregated city. Due to this, the goal was to fi nd a creative way to bridge the gap between the diff erent neighborhoods and cultural demographics in the area.
The building was intentionally designed with the use of food and diff erent cultural cuisines, in the hope to bring all the demographics in the area together. To make a place where all cultures in the city are represented and feel welcome.

FOOD DESERT
Kansas City lacks healthy food access. Grocery stores are the biggest example.
CULTURAL DIVIDE
Grocery stores that are present are being reduced to one cultural classification respective of the cultural majority of their surrounding neighborhood.

WALL SYSTEM
Repeated Note cards
PROFESSOR: YEAR:
MATERIALS:
Anne Patterson Fall 2019 Note cards & Basswood
This was a conceptual, multi-step project to create a wall system using a dynamic shape in a repetitive pattern.
First, there needed to be a space-holding structure made with one piece of paper, and held down by pins. The idea was that if the pins were taken out, it would unfold to become one piece of paper again, such like origami. Second, the structure was downsized and replicated to be put into a wall system. The parameters were that wood and paper could not be glued to each other, only wood to wood. The design of the paper was adapted mildly to hold onto the wood dowels by itself using cuts and folds.
