Architectural Studio III
Prof. Kobina Banning
The main challenge of this proposed project was creating a playground that was able to accomodate many different stages of children that are residents at the Asokwa Childrens Hospital. Taking that in mind, forming a concept around childrens developmental stages of play as well as accesibilty and inclusivity to all. The response to the challege was to create a fun/safe environment which the children of the hospital can journey through the different stages of play as well as a Healing Garden that uses multiple types of therapy that helps the user progressively get back to everyday life. The garden is designed for all types of people from handicapped to teenagers, the site embraces the needs of the user and helps them get back to everyday life by having familiar surroundings and activities at reach. The garden is also designed with the child development journey in mind, from the 1st stage to the 6th and can embrace any kid that journeys into the different play spaces. Another goal of the project is to bring back the name ‘ Garden City ‘ to Kumasi.

The first semester of my architectural studies the project dives into experimenting with floor plans and programmatic spacing. Using multiple unit typologies on a small scale to come up with varying housing units that are a result of a calculated negotation between access to the individual unit and the units access to light and air. One goal of the exercise is to provoke a detailed understanding of the organizational or functional functional requirements of a dwelling unit. This showcases knowledge and an understanding of the appropiate physical dimensions of space(s) and the space requiremets for various furnishings, millwork, and appliances.

Architectural Studio IV
Prof. Katherine Dudzik Smith
The lodestar day resource center was a project built in response to the rising homeless crisis happening within the society. This design wants to take the first step forward into passive rehabilitation and is attacking the issues of the existing building, which in turn provides a step forward in trying to provide a more thoughtful design approach and forms a response to societies rising cases of homelessness and promoting trauma informed design. The main train of thought was to provide a space that is conducive to healing ones mind through the effects of natural light, vegettion, respite, and rejuvenation to be able to provide a solid foundation of ones mental health and stability to be able to bounce back into life seamlessly.
