Greetings. This portfolio highlights the work I’m most proud of from my architectural education thus far. These projects are the results of a rigorous, detail-oriented design process and were developed within an intensive and usually collaborative environment - an environment in which I thrive. I believe that architecture exists to serve those who use it, both in how it functions practically and in how it appears aesthetically. Architecture, in my opinion, should be designed to meet the specific needs of its users, simultaneously evoking an emotional response within the beholder. My goal as an architect is to design beautiful, convicting architecture that serves its users as well as possible.

Originally constructed in 1980, the Music Hall at Iowa State University is no longer large enough to meet the demand of students applying for the Music Program. With the building completely scheduled 7 days a week and storage taking over classrooms and mechanical rooms, the existing building is bursting at the seams as the demand continues to grow. After a phase of discussing needs with Music faculty and rigorously programming these requests, the need for an expansion which doubled or tripled the existing floor plan became evident. This expansion required a new performance auditorium to seat 1,000 people, a new large rehearsal room, new practice rooms, new classrooms, more office space, more storage, and accommodations to allow a Music Technology program and a Master’s program to develop. My partner Michael McKinney and I focused most of our efforts into creating new spaces that functioned smoothly with the existing building while retaining as much of old building as possible. Additionally, our programming strategy was to group different programmatic functions together (such as practice rooms, classrooms, and studios) so as to create a high performing, acoustically separated building.

Integrated ISU Classroom Project Iowa State University Campus, Lot 10 ARCH 445 | Spring ‘17 - Fall ‘17 Prof. Rob Whitehead, Ulrike Passe, & BoSuk Hur Designed in collaboration with Evan Harrison, Emily Near, & Atalie Ruhnke Located on the northwest corner of Iowa State’s campus, this classroom project was an integrated group project, part of the Architecture program’s Building Sciences and Technologies course. Developed throughout the 3rd year spring semester and 4th year fall semester, the project takes all the elements of a building into consideration. Structure and facade materials were selected based on aesthetic, structural, and thermal qualities, and HVAC systems were zoned and integrated into the project to accommodate fluctuating thermal conditions throughout the day. Additionally, the project meets coding requirements, including fire codes, HVAC loading codes, and washroom codes. The following pages include examples of personal work from the final group project submission, demonstrating the integration of building details, systems, and aesthetics.

SOFTER LIGHTING AROUND PERIMETER
Throughout the evaluation and experimentation of our classroom project this semester, we have reached a design that, whether or not it fully meets the 2030 goals, has improved greatly from our initial design. The implementation of several factors allowed for our project to reach the 2030 goal of 25 kBTU / ^2 / yr. In our final iteration, our project implemented natural ventilation, which significantly decreases cooling load and dramatically lowers overall EUI. Compared to our initial iteration, our final iteration also has a much greater and much more evenly dispersed window-to-wall percentage. Applying more windows throughout the project allows more opportunity for natural ventilation in the summer, natural heating through direct sunlight in the winter, and natural lighting year-round (direct or ambient), decreasing EUI spent towards artificial lighting. Additionally, shading devices were added so as to optimize when natural lighting is or is not allowed to pass through. Shading devices vi disperse natural lighting throughout the room and block direct sunlight during the summer. Furthermore, zoning our project to coordinate with times of peak natural heating via direct sunlight throughout the day allows for the most efficient distribution and application of energy throughout the building. Finally, when selecting materiality for our project, we decided that precast concrete acted well in nearly every manner – economically, structurally, and environmentally. By utilizing precast concrete instead of basic stud walls, our building is able to maintain a more constant temperature year-round, putting less strain on the building’s HVAC systems, lowering the overall EUI. In the end, the implementation of natural ventilation, natural lighting, and natural heating, the distribution of windows throughout the project to accomplish these, the optimization of shading devices, and the application of precast concrete all positively contributed to decreasing our project’s EUI from over 50 kBTU / ^2 / yr to 25 kBTU / ^2 / yr, meeting the Architecture 2030 challenge.

Fog Funnel
Phase 1: Fog Collecting Mesh
San Francisco, California ARCH 302 | Spring 2017 Prof. Leslie Forehand Designed in collaboration with Evan Harrison Like the rest of California, San Francisco has suffered from an ongoing drought crisis for years. Despite the drought, a daily phenomena in San Francisco is the dense fog that comes into the bay from the ocean. The first phase of this project, as defined by the brief, calls for students to design a mesh or fabric which is able to harvest the fog’s tiny water particles for reuse in phase 2 of the project
BWBR Competition Finalist, April 2017

As an extension of MIT’s fog harvesting research in Chile, the semester began with hands-on investigation and experimentation with various methods of harvesting the fog’s water droplets. After researching various materials and weave patterns in collaboration with my partner Evan Harrison, we found the properties of copper allow for a weave, if woven with the correct density and porosity, to both attract and shed water particles for collection. Our experimentation then began by creating 3” x 3” samples of various wire meshes, each having different porosities or different wire thicknesses. We simulated fog by spraying water through a fan (so as to create tiny particles) and examining how they collected on each sample (see top left). The test results showed that the two major factors for collecting and shedding water were a greater surface area and a more dense porosity level. For our final
23
sample, we selected a 26 gauge wire weave spaced at 10 mm. Knowing copper would produce a protective patina over time, we patinated a portion of our final 10” x 10” sample to compare how fog would be collected. We discovered in this second test that, because of the extra oxygen in the copper from its patination, water runs off much more effectively after the patination process has occurred (see screenshots below). However, we also became aware that copper would enter the water supply as this process occurred more. Harrison and I furthered our research by creating a 1/2”:1” mockup of our panelized mesh system (see photographs on page 24). This mock-up allowed for us to explore water run-off on sloped surfaces and to design a connection detail which would minimally penetrate the mesh weave (page 24, left column, row 2).

Fog Funnel
Phase 2: Residential High-Rise 1132 Washington St., San Francisco California ARCH 302 | Spring 2017 Prof. Leslie Forehand Designed in collaboration with Evan Harrison Located on Nob Hill in between an upper-end neighborhood and a Chinese neighborhood, the project site will replace the 12,000 square foot playground and basketball court which is currently owned by the neighboring Betty Ong Rec Center. Fog Funnel seeks to practically apply our fog-harvesting system from phase 1, creating a complex which responds to the neighboring recreational center and the park being replaced.
BWBR Competition Finalist, April 2017

Immediately after concluding the fog-harvesting research of phase 1, Harrison and I conducted a brief mapping study of the 8 blocks surrounding our site block to find what materials were used for the foundations, facades, and roofs of the surrounding buildings (see above), The buildings which we found most interesting were ones which used a finished wood facade. Our final wood louver system rooted from this research. Moving into massing, Harrison and I wanted our building to actively apply the fog-harvesting research from phase 1. Our massing places two buildings on opposite ends of the site, one on the North end along the street and one on the South end in the back. As the floors rise, each floor plan rotates approximately 2.5 degrees towards the opposing building (see plans on page 28).
27
The floor-to-floor plan rotation forms a two-mass funnel. As the fog rolls in from the west, the two masses funnel the fog in between the buildings where the panelized copper system harvests the fog’s water droplets (copper represented below by white trace paper). The buildings use skip-stop elevators, allowing access to three twostory lofts every other floor (see plans and sections on pages 28 and 29). Utilizing two-story lofts allows for narrow housing units (18’ wide) while maximizing square footage and the amount of natural lighting for every unit. Simultaneously, the loft openings in each apartment promotes the buildings’ floor-to-floor rotation (see interior render on page 30).

Concluding our project, the Fog Funnel still needed a mixeduse program. Simultaneously, the problem of copper runoff entering the water supply discovered in our initial mesh research still remained and needed a solution. As stated before, Fog Funnel sits next to the Betty Ong Rec Center and replaces its playground and basketball court. Conscious of this, I designed a topographic park feature in between the two buildings. This feature was designed by projecting the grid created by the rotating floors onto the ground (see photographs on next pages). Wanting to be mindful of the recreation center, Harrison and I conceptualized a “Nutrition Shop,” a snack bar which would provide healthy and nutritious snacks as a compliment to the recreation center for its users. Within this mixed-use concept, Harrison discovered a process called rhizofiltration. The soil uses this process as a means of purifying impurities (such as copper run-off) out of the water supply, creating clean water for the plants while simultaneously replenishing the nutrients in the soil. This discovery provided a perfect solution to our mixed-use concepts and copper run-off problem. Addressing Fog Funnel’s structural overhang created by the rotating floors, Harrison and I looked to Bjarke Ingles Group’s Vancouver Tower. Along a twisting edge of the building, BIG created a “walking column” system, where the columns are slightly offset from floor to floor, allowing each floor to step out slightly, transferring loads laterally. Harrison and I took this concept and designed a walking shear wall system (see page 31 middle row), where the walls still rest on top of each other, rotating only slightly with the rotation of each floor. Harrison and I collaborated on nearly every design detail throughout the entire project, from the initial fog-harvesting studies through the massing down to the programming. In the copper collection stage, Harrison and I collaboratively researched and tested the copper mesh, and I designed the connection detail and constructed the physical 1/2”:1” mockup. We both participated in gathering info and creating our abstracted mapping study on page 27, and we collaboratively designed and built our initial massing model. I created the digital model seen in the plans, sections, and renders, and I post-processed the plans and sections (Harrison postprocessed the renderings and created the diagrams on this page). Additionally, I designed and constructed the 1/8”:1’ scale physical model seen on the following pages (the white site model was constructed by the studio as a whole), while Harrison created the structural model on page 31.

Gliding Club and Performance Center Moore Memorial Park, Ames, Iowa ARCH 301 | Fall 2016 Prof. Mikesch Muecke Independent work While combining two entirely unique and seemingly unrelated functions into a single building may seem pointless, impossible, or just plain odd, this project brief had us consolidate an Otto Lilienthal-inspired gliding club with a Chamber Musician Performance Center. The layout must accommodate for the necessary functions of the Gliding Club - a workshop, runway, and classrooms - and of the Chamber musicians - 8 individual practice rooms, storage, and a performance auditorium which seats 50. Furthermore, keeping with the semester theme of ‘Landscape and Architecture,’ the project should engage the surrounding landscape in some way.
33
The Gliding Club and Performance Center is made up of three separate wings which converge upon each other on one end and extrude away from each other on the other. The initial design, seen through the sketches and section perspective on this page, revolves around the carefully designed performance hall’s sarcophagus-shape. With the exception of the extruding cantilever, which provides a runway for the gliders, the building engages the landscape with its angled walls and windows, giving the building an appearance of being jammed into the landscape as the performance center and cantilever protrude outwards.
Section Perspective
35
In an effort to simplify the Center from the initial iteration’s complex angles, the building was redesigned using a set of two grids which lay at a 45 degree angle to one another (see p 38, top left). This grid repeated itself at different scales in both plan and section, following the same grid vertically as it did horizontally. Cubic masses were formed from these horizontal and vertical grids. Then, so as to prevent the large building from dominating the site, the masses were angled downward in the x- and y- directions making the landscape appear as though it was consuming or overtaking the building. Based on the function of each mass, each volume was then designed to have a certain aesthetic quality. The monumental, orange, concrete entry promotes the intersection of the functions while the green steel frame glass atrium focuses on transparency to promote the other masses. The cross-braced cantilever compliments the structure of the glider frame, and the grid-following panelized concrete emphasizes the rhythm of the musicians and their instruments.
