PICCOLE STAZIONI FERROVIARIE 3RD YEAR | SPRING 2014 | 5 WEEK PROJECT
The Italian train network links Italy together by spreading a web of connections across the country. Railway stations are places of arrival, departure, interaction, work, rest, and refuge, while serving as a beacon of social connection and urban serendipity for each city. A challenge for designers is to provide an accurate symbol relating to the people and setting that surrounds the design. A site was chosen in Stresa, Italy, which hosts a historical railway station that serves four tracks, and receives about 21 trains per day. The design goal from the beginning was to be as respectful as possible to the historical station, by only renovating the interior and opening up the rear facing the tracks. The main facades and previous tram entry are left preserved. A main structural frame was laid out with the long linear axis, which emphasizes the movement of the train and reacts according to the direction of circulation for commuters. The main beams are long span trusses cladded with steel panels to form sleek, but prominent in depth, movement members. Shading is provided with thin, metal plates supported in between the main structural members, and differ in density according to the function beneath them. Vertical support is kept at a minimum along the long span members, and are hidden within seating along the island platform, giving the appearance that these long, thin members are hovering above waiting commuters. Cross structure above the canopy disappears from below, because of the depth of the linear canopy.

CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS HOTEL 3RD YEAR | FALL 2013 | 9 WEEK PROJECT
Designing not for a specific client or a specific emotion, but designing to please the ever changing clientele and the inconstant perception they posses. Through light and materiality, ordinary spaces are transformed depending on the user and the emotions they impart. Expressing materials in a raw and unexpected practice creates curiosity and sometimes tension. Solid materials are expressed as porous, and the substantial defies its mass. The application of materials through light, generates shifting environments, transforming depending on the user. Allowing the material to define how light enters and when it is obscured, filtered, or accentuated. Light and texture compose a space and as light changes so does the perception of the space. This equips the client with the power to devise their own experience and apply their emotions to the architecture.

The site is left as natural as possbile and allows for a direct connection with the site upon entry from the road, to parking, and to the hotel. The long facades of the building are angled to face true north and south to avoid solar gain from the direct east and west sun. The rooms were designed to have a view of the horizon as they are overlooking either the north or south gardens. Entry is from the south west corner, which allows for the full effect of the site and emphasizes the sense of arrival. The entry is lined with trees, and the angle of the entry follows the angle of the structure. Parking is located to the north to avoid the sun, and the pool is located to the south to gain the most sun.

The porous brick configuration is used to define all wayfinding. Porous brick serving as handrails surround the atrium openings between floors. Vertical circulation is defined by the absence of brick. The main elevators are glass and pushed out of the plane of the brick and are highlighted by being flooded with light as the brick on either side of it only filters light. Brick partition walls define the entries to each room as they protrude into the corridors and draw you into the room.

RISING TO ROME
3RD YEAR | SPRING 2014 | 9 WEEK GROUP PROJECT
Just outside the historical heart of Rome, a vertical art museum tower is proposed on a site adjacent to the Colosseum. Rising to 100 meters, the tower will be by far the tallest structure in Rome. The museum will be the signal of your arrival into the historic city center. The museum will house only art from Rome, and will have many temporary exhibits for traveling pieces, which will appeal to both locals and tourists. The site will serve as the primary gathering space and premier viewing of the Colosseum, as well as, develop a modern day forum for local use. The tower itself will create views over Rome unavailable from anywhere else in the city. This tower will set the precedent for vertical museums, as it will truly be one of a kind. The most important aspect of this museum will be the vertical circulation, which will be able to orient the visitors at all times without fatiguing them. As an unprecedented project for not only a vertical museum but also a tower for Rome, the art museum will serve the public with a wide range of cultural uses while adapting to the historical surroundings.
20|
SITE The site is located on the outskirts of historic Rome, and is directly north of the Colosseum. The area is one of the busiest parts of the city due to the Colosseum and the Forum. The museum will allow better dispersion of people in the area. Circulation through the site was disrupted as little as possible. Pedestrians are circulated through the modern forum, which is a gathering space and market. Green space is a rarity in the city, so 75% of the site is kept unpaved.

CIRCULATION The most imperative aspect to the function of a vertical museum is the egress and emergency circulation. Visitors upon entering the museum are immediately greeted with a steel framed atrium, which pierces through the entire structure bringing light into the interior. The main circulation core contains two large elevators, which will take visitors directly to the top and experience the full length of the museum. Three zoned elevators are also located in the core to take visitors to specific exhibits throughout the museum.

ATRIUM The atrium is always oriented in front of the main circulation core, so visitors can orient themselves once they arrive at the desired floor. In order to travel between galleries without having to board an elevator every time, a skip-stop stair is arranged around the atrium frame, which connects the different zones of the museum.
AUDITORIUM
A slit travels up the entire front facade revealing the atrium, and allowing light to be the main wayfinding cue.

FORM DEVELOPMENT Starting with a rectilinear mass, the form was curved based on the views to and from the site and then compressed in the center to create two disinct spaces within the galleries. The entire form then underwent torsion to create a dynamic facade, and to create a crowning top. Once the walls were extruded, parts of the skin were offset to create indirect lighting within the galleries.

SAN JUAN OCEANARIUM 4TH YEAR | FALL 2014 | 12 WEEK PROJECT
Accommodating the growth and redevelopment of San Juan, Puerto Rico, the conversion of an industrial pier to a community urban space with an oceanarium dedicated to the exhibition of local plant and aquatic life. As tourism continues to take over the island, the urban space is catered to everyday life of the locals, as well as, the transitory tourists. The site and oceanarium design are carefully designed around the transforming point of view of patrons walking through the site and exhibits. Designing the oceanarium as an ever changing experience through level change, perspective, light, and movement. Patrons are constantly submerged under, immersed in and elevated over the exhibits. Visitors are transitioned through light and always guided by the enticement of the next exhibit, leaving them excited and anticipating what is coming next. The oceanarium will serve as an education tool for the area, and add to the on-going renovation project of the industrial side of San Juan.

BRICKTOWN BREWING ACADEMY 4TH YEAR | FALL 2014 | 5 WEEK PROJECT
The craft of brewing beer has always maintained a prominent position in American culture. The rapid growth of craft brewing in recent years has captivated today’s society and has flourished across the country. A beer academy in the heart of Oklahoma City, is an opportunity to celebrate the art of brewing and spread this unique education. The brewery is the central core of the academy and is expressed at pedestrian level to encourage interest in the process of brewing. An abstracted grain silo is the focal point of the front facade becoming advertising for the academy. The exterior facades are defined by the zoning and structure of the building, while the interior spaces are always organized around the brewery core. The advancement of today’s brew masters in the growing craft beer industry is the goal of this academy, and so the process of brewing is reflected and expressed to the exterior while being kept central to the interior.

DESIGN BUILD
Design-build is about discovering what it means to design a product and following the process all the way through final construction. Most design-build projects are group assignments and allow for teamwork and collaboration. Using each other’s strengths to develop something in an efficient and creative manner. I have had experience in pipe bending, wood working, 3-D printing, laser cutting, and CNC cutting and contouring. Designing not just architecture, but a product, allows us to develop a different mindset in design. Consumer based thinking pushes the human experience and comfort factor in all design efforts.

ELECTRA SOAP BOX DERBY 3RD YEAR | FALL 2013 | 2 WEEK GROUP PROJECT
For our first design-build project we were challenged to consturct a soap box derby car. Straying from the traditional derby car, our concept started as an aerodynamic line inspired by the Ferrari Burlinetta. Aerodynamics and ergonomics became the main focus of the design. Steel tubing was bent to form our frame and was welded at two connection points. Standard wheelchair wheels were used for the front wheels and BMX tires were used for the rear wheels. Carbon fiber panels were used on the sides to prevent wind pockets and create a sleek aesthetic. Our design was put to the test in a time trial race at the end of the project where we excelled with flying colors.

AUDIO ENHANCEMENT 3RD YEAR | FALL 2013 | 4 WEEK GROUP PROJECT
In order to learn how the 3-D printer is operated, we were given a group project to design something that could be applied to the human body. We chose to tackle the issue of terrible sound quality and poor aesthics of old walkman headphones. We created an earpiece cover that not only increases sound enhancement, but makes a statement in the world of overear headphones, being able to compete with Beats and Sol. Our design for the earpiece is a double skin with the first layer being solid, which decreases the amount of audio bleed. The second layer is composed of delicate tendrils, which set off of the first layer giving it depth, before the tendrils bleed into the headband. The first trial print was only the earcup to determine if the double skin would work and solve any sizing issues. With no moving or mechanical parts, our headphones are durable and ready to be mass produced.

PARAMETRIC FACADE
3RD YEAR | SPRING 2014 | 3 WEEK GROUP PROJECT
P R O C E S S Integrated with our vertical museum tower in Rome, this design-build project was to design a parametric skin system. Using primarily Revit to create the parametric system, each vertical louver can be individually adapted, while the remaining louvers react to the change. The contoured louvers produce a fluidity from the ground, drawing interest to the specific portion of the tower for pedestrians walking by or entering the museum. From the back, however, the louvers are designed to be a rigid grid, for easy installation and so as not to draw attention away from the art exhibited inside. The nodes between the louvers give extra potential to block the sun from the south, but the nodes diminish on the east and west ends.

EUROPE STUDY ABROAD 4TH YEAR | SUMMER 2014 | 9 WEEKS
The Oklahoma State University School of Architecture offers a two month European Study Program with a focus on journaling, on-site analysis, and sketching. Six weeks are spent mainly in Rome with day trips around Italy integrated into the schedule. Longer four and five day trips to Paris, Berlin, and Florence are also included trips with the professors. The last three weeks is used for free travel planned by the students. Assignments for the program are broken into three categories: journaling, sketchbooks, and analytical problems. Students are required to keep an on-site and in-depth account of the buildings we visit in a daily journal, which will then be expounded upon off-site. This will be the biggest asset to the students for the other assignments, but more so as a tool to use in everyday design. A sketchbook is also required to allow students to develop their skills and focus on the more artistic aspect of design. The last category is a series of projects with focused subjects chosen by both the professors and the students. It is a translation and more in-depth analysis of the chosen projects that were studied and analyzed on-site in the daily journals. The assignment also asks students to compare and contrast the projects so as to be able to draw conclusions and recognize similar design decisions executed in different ways.
