Joshua Broadway 1320 Fremont St. Apt 2 Manhattan, KS 66502 Telephone: (312)451-5247 Email: broadway@ksu.edu To All Involved, This is an inquiry to apply at your office as an intern for the following year, between the months of January and August. I haven’t been familiar with your office for long, perhaps a few weeks at this point, but since discovering your firm I’ve become curious about your work. In your work there is an attention to idea, precision, scale, and most importantly response both human and contextual. Those notions are addressed in each project, and for that I believe I am a suitable candidate in the office.
Cover Letter
My trajectory towards architecture was born from the necessity to create. Early on I needed to make ‘things’, for when I didn’t I felt anxious and aimless. The tedium and complexity of building motivates me. I believe in an idea driven architecture. Not to dictate movement and moment, but to inspire the promise of capability. The notion of an enriched environment with an attention to the pragmatic and the poetic; the rational and detail sensitive built realm that is grounded in the human condition. I pride myself in being rooted between the ambiguous and logical. The balance between these two realms contributes to a work that remedies transience and promotes an environment that lasts long after the architect’s work is done. For the aim isn’t to construct a building, rather, to shape human potential, inspired moments, and the notion of place making and meaningful relationships. I can be an asset to the office because my convictions are parallel to yours. Besides possessing the skills essential to work-flow; digital drafting proficiency, hand drafting skills, model making and the assumed skill-set of an intern candidate, my value lies in the ability to challenge existing conditions and the willingness to explore. It’s more so a stubbornness to accept traditional notions and to anticipate change. I appreciate your consideration, and hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely,
Joshua Broadway

I am a 24 year-old master of architecture candidate attending Kansas State University. Born in Chicago and since lived in California and Washington state. I pride myself in being adaptable, ambitious, fearless, hard-working, stubborn yet reasonable, acute and intuitive. I believe in the power of logic and rationality, while existing in the dimension of the ambiguous and poetic. It is that duality of architecture that seduces me. I believe when logic and poetics become confluent, something meaningful happens.

Randaberg Kommune Maritime Museum Competition
Advisor: Torgeir Norheim Team Members: Nico Rallo Joel Savage
In Progress
The Norwegian municipality of Randaberg Kommune, and JĂŚrmuseet, the regional museum for the municipalities are holding a global competition for the design of a center devoted to the exhibition and education of the aquatic sciences and a history of water craft. The site is located along the coast of Randaberg, just north of Stavanger, with a protected harbor and in close proximity to the Tungenes lighthouse.

We began by observing existing site conditions, traditional Norwegian water culture and the relationship between the harbor and the lighthouse. The setting is pastoral, with several vernacular farmhouses situated within a gently sloping site, with the lighthouse placed on its high point. Across this setting there exists a strong axis between the pier of the harbor and the lighthouse.

With this observation we found it necessary to construct a building that disappears within the setting and serves to enclose the public realm along the harbor while framing views to the lighthouse. The building is stretched horizontally and remains low in response to adjacent farmhouses, while sheltering from winter and summer winds. Visually the building acts as a bridge between land and sky.

Stavanger Marketplace
Urban Intervention for Stavanger Square Professor: Torgeir Norheim Collaborative Studio Effort
3rd Year
The issue of Stavanger marketplace is its lack of containment. The marketplace is adjacent to a Latin primary school, a park, and a wide pedestrian road. These spaces are deficient in enclosure and seep in to one another. Without proper edge and definition of activity these spaces are void of meaning. This observation is part of a much larger discussion directed toward the future of the urban model. Our generation is confronted with overpopulation, depletion of resources, over exploitation of land and dramatic climatic shifts that are creating unstable ecosystems. The negligence and commodification of the built environment is largely to blame. Using Stavanger marketplace as a testing ground the studio sought to devise a benchmark in which the urban environment could develop in support of creativity, sustenance, and meaningful activity. This model is meant to be regenerative and malleable as a means of accommodating the increasingly complex and unstable conditions of the modern circumstance, while maintaining intimate and local cultures and connections.

Disruption of space and flows creates stagnation, and a decaying, less meaningful environment.
Interventions
Issue: Containment
Solution: Cultural Armature (My primary involvement)
Harmony
The notion of the cultural armature was manifested after investigating the issues of the urban context. There was an awareness of history, culture, politics, and economic ambition. The solution must be sensitive to tradition while facilitating and anticipating the future. In doing word investigation culture was defined as : qualities and concerns of a speciďŹ c region or locale- and- style, art, vernacular, customs and traditions as they relate to a civilization. Armature was defined as; a scaold or canvas by which a work of art and culture can be facilitated.

Issue: Lack of engagement in multiple strata
Solution: Urban Floor There is a lack of connection within primary nodes of the city, and a void of activity within the underground dimension. We proposed a network of underground spaces which frame activity and provide conduits of energy to flow vertically and laterally. The urban floor is a fabric which stitches the surface and sub-surface dimensions of the city.

coalesce eureka Business Incubator Proposal Professor: Todd Gabbard
4th Year
Upon visiting the town of Eureka I immediately noticed the lack of life and vibrance. It was a town separated and disparate. Buildings are abandoned. Streets are baron. Activity is dead. There are remnants of a once presumably prosperous town named in the rejoice of discovery. In recognizing this decaying condition the word coalesce seems like a necessary yet distant goal. The word “coalesce” means to grow together in one body; to blend or come together; to unite to form one mass. It is in this spirit of unity that a solution must be devised. The site is located on the south-eastern side of town. It is disconnected from the downtown and situated between neighborhoods and scattered businesses. It’s dimensions are 280 feet by 178 feet, and within a larger open space adjacent to a four lane highway. The main gesture was to divide the site in to more intimate, more digestible zones, enclosed by walls and green space. In doing so activity and engagement is encouraged, and the notion of community is explored.

The Heart and the hand
Flint Hills Center for Craft Professor: Judy Gordon
3rd Year
We were tasked with designing a center for the instruction and practice of craft. Three specific craft disciplines were to be taught (glass, ceramics, and metal), each with their own studio. The notion of craft was interpreted as a discipline and communion between human and material; person and nature. As the hand molds and shapes material, the body fatigues. And just as the human affects the artifact, the artifact affects the human. A binary and reciprocal shaping occurs. For the material is forever reshaped while the effort of the muscle is remembered and strengthened. Parti models
The process began by creating a device that made otherwise imperceptible realities or existing conditions illuminated. My solution to this challenge was to create a piece that produced an illusion. An image of black vertical bars was affixed to the back of a viewing box, and when introducing a second element with appropriately sized apertures the illusion of a third body is created. The idea of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts was explored.
