Steep Slope House The Steep Slope House is a rural dwelling that illustrates distinctive structural systems and integrated strategies. This site features the challenge of complicated and extreme slope. People usually do not purchase property with a steep slope because it presents a difficult and unusual scheme. This project enables designers to be adaptive in developing a new structural design. This site is well suited to enhance the human—nature relationship. This site offers an excellent environment that provides adequate sources of sunlight, wind, trees, and water. The sun would supple natural light for the house. The wind blows from the southwest, providing circulation throughout the house. The trees in the surrounding forest emit an abundance of oxygen. Residents can filter and use the rainwater for any purpose. There are three reasons a new design approach would be successful for the project. First, a site that is steeply sloped is normally less expensive than a site that is level or has a slight slope. Therefore the project would have a larger budget for higher-quality materials and structural systems. Second, this structural design would use a different strategy; which it called an umbel structure for the foundation. Last, most houses are designed with simple traditional elevations, plans, and sections. In contrast this house would incorporate non-traditional design. This particular design could be applied to any Lake Cumberland location or to any property that has a steep slope. Modifications would be needed for the foundation and column height; the goal of this project is to be flexible in terms of location, design, and possible benefits.

GROUND LEVEL 1,306 SQ. FT.
This house project illustrates non-traditional residential architecture. It does not have two stories above the ground level, as is typical of most houses; instead it is built downward from the ground level.
LOWER LEVEL ONE 1,216SQ. FT.
The design of the lower floors is based on the relationship between nature and humans. The key to the design is that the human walks downstairs from the ground level toward the private area, where the bedrooms and bathrooms are located. In walking downstairs on the staircase, which features glass on the righthand side, the human will feel connected with the natural surroundings. Lever Level One and Lower Level Two are deigned as dissimilar spaces. Lower level One has some spaces that are public and other spaces that are private, such as bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Lower Level Two consists of a private area only, comprising the master bedroom and bathroom.
LOWER LEVEL TWO 1,032 SQ. FT.

Reynolds Building Project The Reynolds Building, on the main campus of the University of Kentucky, is an old tobacco warehouse that has seen many lives throughout the years. Originally it housed the School of Architecture and, later, the School of Visual Art. Now that the Reynolds Building is no longer in use, the College of Design sees it as providing an opportunity to reinvent both itself and the building and create an innovation district. Bringing the College of Design to this location will be more closely connecting the campus and downtown, making the innovation district a middle ground between the two. When you walk into the college of Design, you immediately see student life come to light. The first spaces you see—the library, student lounge, studios, and pin-up boards space—reflect the 24/7-student activity in the college’s core programs. The design of the building is highly focused on student life in the College of Design Students identified the four most used programs as the fabrication lab, computer lab, studios and library; these core programs were the main drivers of the building design. Understanding the idea of core programs gave rise to the idea of views. Each program connects with the next through a series of shifting masses diagram. As the boxes shift wand intersect, they create views between the programs, and allow new spaces to be created. In these new spaces, programs like the students’ lounge, quiet study space, and pin- up space start to emerge and contribute to student life. The new College of Design will highlight student activity, allow for the innovation district to have a power of place in Lexington, Kentucky, and allow the College of Design to expand and improve.

Shotgun House
The project that we, the group had been worked on this project basic of the concept of Shotgun House and it is the one of architecture style. A shotgun house plan’s basic rule—just one story, with rooms one behind the other and two doors—one at the front and the other at the rear. The shotgun house concept was conceived during the Civil War era. The design is still used, mostly in the southern United States and especially in New Orleans, Louisiana. The studio instructor was to specified the goals of the group project and the rules to be followed with regard to housing specifications, zoning codes, expectation, the Accessible Disabilities Act, and sustainability. This project industrialized the technology system to bring the house into the twenty-first century through the use of diverse technological devices that residents could use to control the house systems. The house was located in the Portland area in the metropolitan of Louisville, Kentucky. Spring 2016, Anne Filson Studio, Group Project- Jennifer Harris, Allyson Smith, and Nathanael Zellers

In this one amount of the group project, I was responsible for developing a structural system with a precast method. I had been researching the distinctive precast structural system. I studied how they produced the precast and used it when constructing a building. We liked the concept of honeycomb and we felt that the shape of honeycomb would be tremendous for this project due to various reasons. Honeycomb could be useful for any purpose in a house using some shade from the sun, seeing through windows during daytime and nighttime, and having privacy in certain private spaces inside the house. The house is a hundred percent of honeycomb in the precast structure. It also is printed in the 3D printing model and it succeeded attaching them together.

CUT/ FILL The CUT/FILL project focused on a landscape architecture incorporating environment and science considerations. We worked with the Department of Energy, University of Kentucky, and College of Design (Rohrbacher’s studio). The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant is located on the site in Paducah, Kentucky. The studio group had been working on the landscape architecture aspect of this projects; however, our group developed a timeline that included our proposal for a method of eliminating toxic chemicals at the Paducah site. The soil contains uranium in the underground hydrogen by leaking from a building. The compound came from the gaseous diffusion plant, which was used to produce uranium during the 1950s. The project involved determining how to use the cut/ fill method to solve the problem involving chemicals in the soils and underground hydrogen by using a specific filter system. Each of us had different proposals of the procedure with this project. My project put forth a proposal interrelated with the fill and concerned the soil after it was dug and before it was filtered with water. We wanted to avoid wasting soil so that we could reuse it. This proposal could be fulfilled in the area, or in the building, in coordination with the landscape architecture proposals showing the timeline history of that site from the procedure of our proposals from the beginning to the end of procedure.

For the group project, we wanted to develop a movie showing the technique of our various proposals from the beginning of the end. It included the digging and filling the timeline so that movie could be shown to customers who would be understand the process better. I was responsible for producing and editing the movie for the project along with our proposals. I used digital software such as AutoCAD, Grasshopper, Rhinoceros 3D, and the new software program Fusion 360 to show different angles and the timeline of the process using models. We wanted to examine and evolve a new method of demonstrating the process from beginning to end.
