GR ADUATE PORTFOLIO

jubilee kao


hi! my name is It’s nice to meet you,

During my years in design school, I have come to appreciate the power of architecture and its ability to encourage meaningful experiences. I believe that architects have the responsibility to create a positive and a lasting impact in our environment. It beckons thoughtful innovations, enduring creations and conscientious decisions. Moving forward, I would like to continue to learn how to positively contribute to our moments in space. I have been an active student in the College of Architecture, Planning and Design at Kansas State University. Throughout my time there, I’ve had opportunities to lead design initiatives, learn from insightful experiences and discover what excites me in the field of design. Communicating design through a multifaceted approach is a passion I have. My work has been on exhibition throughout Kansas State University’s school of architecture and was chosen for accreditation evaluation. In the Summer of 2018, I won the U.S. Stone Competition for the design concept and construction documentation of the Parsons’ Animal Care Clinic. The competition considered design submissions that possessed uniqueness in its appeal, functionality and construction. Throughout my time in architecture school, I have gained experience in collaboration and learned the importance of diligence and hard-work. This portfolio reflects what I’ve accomplished during my five years at Kansas State University and encompasses how I view architecture. Through my experiences, I have grown to see that architecture is a field of innovation, thoughtfulness, and deep empathy. With collective effort combined with passionate and innovative ideas, I hope to bring great creativity and new ideas into the field of design. I’d be thrilled to learn more about you and discuss how I can help your mission in the ever-evolving discipline of architecture. I look forward to discussing the many things I will learn from you!

Sincerely,

Jubilee Kao

CONCEPTION It was adamant to provide a place that is predicated on sensitivity to the housed animals: physiological needs, social needs, psychological needs, environmental needs, behavioral needs. Green space is an underlying factor connecting the physiological needs of the occupants utilizing the space.

SPLICE By separating the services, this provides a clear division of space. Clean versus dirty, the served versus service, and public versus private. Finding a common ground between human and animal needs, green space is used to inter-wine and connect the separate building component together.

INTRODUCTION

01

“Our focus as thirteen graduate-level students at Kansas State University has been on defining the issue of affordable housing and determining solutions through architectural means. To begin, the definition of affordable housing and its troubled past from public housing to social housing, incluscionary housing to mixed-income, the definitions seem to be endless. As such, it seemed to be our task to develop a definition to encompass the reality and dignity of the situation, as affordable housing should be attainable in every market. However, affordability is measured based on income, which varies greatly from individual to individual and city to city. The federal definition of an affordable dwelling is one toward which an individual need not designate more than 30% of their income. Beyond this definition is understanding that incomes are generally categorized into groups of those who make higher than 80% of the Average Median Income (AMI) and those

who make less than this. The second of these categories can break down even further, which is imperative later in our understanding of how to mix incomes within a design proposal. With the facts established, it is time to realize the definition of our subject, project, and our goal: that affordable housing, through often misunderstood, is something powerful. If our housing is affordable, our lives are more manageable, more developed, and more successful. To design affordable housing has more depth than to simply provide residence for those who need it fosters possibility and potential in people from all backgrounds, incomes and circumstances in a truly meaningful and impacting way. Through direction from instructions David Dowell and Lawrence Scarpa, client Diane Botwin, and study of successful built work, we have worked to embody this definition through design.�

“The Crossroads Arts District is a neighborhood within the Greater Downtown of Kansas City, Missouri. Major highways (I-670 to the north, Route 71 to the east and I-35 to the west), border the neighborhood and connect it to greater Kansas City. Known for its vibrant art community, the Crossroads is home to more than 400 local artists and 100 independent studios. Other amenities include an abundance of boutiques, restaurants and bars, architectural and design firms, and advertising businesses. Many of these businesses are placed in renovated warehouses or industrial buildings. The crossroads district hasn’t always been Kansas City’s main arts district. In the 1930’s, the film industry chose a four block area in the Crossroads, dubbed “Film Row”, for a geographically central distribution point in the U.S.

Major studios on Film Row included Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, and Paramount. At its height, it had one of the largest concentration of film studios and is now one of the most intact Film Row districts in the United States. When the need for film distribution centers diminished in the 1960s, buildings in the Crossroads were neglected and essentially abandoned. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the rebirth of the Crossroads began, inciting the vibrant culture of today. During a search for an area in which a community of artists could bot live and display either work, Kansas City Art Institute professor Jim Leedy prompted the neighborhood’s transformation. Leedy purchased, renovated, and sold previously vacant back to artists at purchase price, leading to an influx of culturally diverse people in the Crossroads.”

ERE? W H O L IV E S H

Much of our program depends on knowing the demographics of the Crossroads district. At just under one square mile of land, this neighborhood is home to a little over 1,500 people. The demographics of this neighborhood are racially homogeneous, with 92% Caucasian residents, and only 5% African American. There are 859 households in the Crossroads, with 57% being one-person households and 39% two-person.

04

WH Y HO US ING ON TH IS SIT E? 1801 Walnut is the perfect location, with every amenity that a resident may need only a 10-15 minute walk away. Many jobs are located in the district and many more can be easily commuted to via public transit.

e

02

WHO WOR KS HER E? Demographics are fairly even split between the sexes, a breakdown with 82% under the age of 55, and even a similar income, with most earning more than $40,000 a year. Jobs split comparably, with 30% in the Professional and Scientific fields, and 14% in Hotel, Food, and Arts. Retail services make up an additional 16%.

05

AFF ORD ABL E DES IGN With affordability in mind, our studio began the semester researching modularity and the implications it can have on both the budget and overall building design. Other ways to achieve affordability come from alternative design, a concept that uses things like shared amenities to reduce costs.

29

03

WH O LIV ES + WO RK S HE RE ? Of the 8,018 people who work in the neighborhood, a mere 74 are also its residents. This means less than 1% of the people employed in the Crossroads live in the same area. Since this district is surrounded on three sides by major interstates and highways, over 70% of the 1,030 who live in the Crossroads and work elsewhere travel alone and by car.

06

N C L IE N T V IS IO

Diane Botwin is a developer in the Greater Kansas City area. Diane envisions a home for the people of the Crossroads; the nurses, the teachers, and the employees in the surrounding area. Throughout the entire process, Diane’s vision of mixing income levels within the building has stayed consistent; with a mix of affordable units, market rate units, and even larger units oriented toward a higher income level.


01

E R V IE W P R O B L E M OV In the Crossroads today, there is a dire need to provide housing for those who work in the Crossroads. It is imperative as architects and designers that we find a solution to accommodate those currently unable to work close to home and/or find affordable rent due to the high market-rate pressures of downtown.

04

PRO CESS The thinking behind the progression of the building center themselves around values of community, sustainability, affordability, and resilient/flexible design. The site response that makes up the base program allows for an architecture of diverse activity and welcomes much needed green space into the lives of the residents and workers of the Kansas City Crossroads.

02

HIS TOR Y OF TH E CR OSS RO AD S

The found ation of the Crossroads was built by artist Jim Leedy, a Kansas City Art Institute professor in the 1960s. Alone, he started the neighborhood’s transformation from ghost town to arts destination. During his time as a professor, he noticed a lack of opportunity and affordable living spaces for his graduating students in the downtown Kansas City are. He started renovating warehouses and renting out studio spaces to his students.

05

UNIT T YPO LOG Y In dealing with the rigidity of modular design and micro-units, it was vital that the units were infused with strong principles and values that could heighten the experience past that of a furniture-filled box and towards that of a home. The size of each modular unit was determined to be 14.5’ by 29’. The size fits efficiently within the size parameters while keeping the module sizes.

03

WH O + WH AT

With the Crossroad’s demographic in mind, this proposal provides contrasts from a typical developers apartment model. Dividing the building into appropriately sized micro-communities provides a well-rounded connection within one’s living experience. These micro-communities accommodate more ‘local’ interactions.

06

IL D IN G OV E R A L L B U The building completes itself in the unification of the diverse order of spaces, adding to the quality of life within. Continuing the values of the Crossroads, this proposal establishes itself as a model for both affordable housing and community living. This proposal’s value will only proceed to grow in need and importance with the increasing demand for dignified, affordable housing within the Crossroads.


TEST-FIT #3

03

“We feel this issue is one that affects those not just those within the Crossroads, but those throughout Kansas City and the United States. Affordable housing in the Crossroads needs a solution that provides workers, families, and residents of Kansas City the amenities and resources to be a part of the Crossroads and invest their community as a whole.

31

The Crossroads is a growing and ever-expanding part of Kansas City. This growth will only continue to flourish if there is appropriate, dignified, and affordable housing that is made available to all those who wish to reside within this thriving district. This unique piece of downtown’s vibrant history and culture has established a place that people want to experience and live in. Our goal is to provide a solution that can meet this need and provide a connection to the Crossroads in a way that encourages a heightened sense of community.”

“Designing affordable housing by stacking modules helps to maintain the affordability portion of the design and paves the way for making modular construction more common and attainable in the future. Stretching the limits of the 60’x16’x12’ module to comprise of units, hallways, and amenities is the ultimate goal to allow for ease of construction. In creating a micro urban neighborhood, it is important to include the variety of people who work and play in the Crossroads. This means avoiding a building that contains only one income-type and instead, incorporating a diverse range. Creating a building that is integrated into the district and inclusive to various incomes is essential to being variable in the crossroads.

37

Some may associate “affordable housing” with lesser-quality, cramped, and bare apartments. Giving quality space to those who live in these apartments is vital, as we know how much quality of life can improve when a quality home is provided. Scale and proportion are costless. They are two important factors in making units that provide quality living. Creating a community and neighborhood within the building helps to build a strong identity for the Crossroads, as well as encourage interaction between people in dense urban fabrics.”

“Over the past three years in the College of Architecture at Kansas State University, our experiences as students rewrote our minds to observe the world from an imaginative and critical view point. The first concept that was introduced to us in school was the design process - a method used in architecture to create comprehensive design, much like scientific method in scientific field. In this process, architects define a problem, collect information, brainstorm ideas, develop solutions, then present an idea. After receiving feedback, they work to improve a design by defining the new problems and restarting the cycle. Through this process, we students were programmed to see the world not as it is, but as it could be. Identifying the problems we see in the world not as it is, but as it could be. Identifying the problems we see in the world, we seek to

these issues through methodical design and thoughtful architecture. Through this method, each of us learned to think and make design decisions at a rapid pace. After one project was finalized, we were immediately presented with a new problem with a deadline to find a solution. It trained us to work quickly and efficiently as well as helped us to develop our understanding of the design process through practice. However, this pace must be paired with thoughtful contemplation, something in light of this fact, our study abroad in Italy began with a focus on observation and reflection. Since then, our experience of the world has slowed greatly. It is through this lens that we as students of architecture have had our minds significantly influenced over the past months by the designed environment and culture across Italy. Undeniably, each of us have developed and changed through this exploration of a distant culture in our own respective ways.�


49


“Our consensus as a studio is that our experience within the years has been focused upon “the object’ within architecture. Studying abroad, the Italian envirronment has presented the notion of a cohesive whole of architecture. From this discovery and the interconnection of our readings and research upon the Macro and Micro scales, we compiled a book to document our findings. Together all of us have developed a new, personal realm of architectural thought. This realm of thought attempts to decode and break down the complexity of the world into measurable means. By doing this, we hope to have the ability to design

an entity of limitless possibility by engaging multiple scales and concepts, thus reinforcing human values and desires. It is our hope that our documentation of our experience and exploration of multiple scales will inspire a new way of perceiving both the natural and built environment. Through this new perception, we hope to expand the realm of architectural possibility through the use of mental navigational tools and their subdivision of filters. As the realm of possibility is expanded, designers will be inspired to reformat through patterns in order to abstract lessons of existing architecture and redefine the contemporary environment.”


51



“During our experience in Italy, we defined five ‘mental navigational tools.’ These are defined as a way of interpreting the complexities of the world through a multi scalar relationship of the macro and the micro. By dividing the world into this dualism of scales, an observer will develop the ability to compose a cohesive ‘whole’ made up of ‘parts’. Each tool then allows for a breakdown of complexity through the subdivision of each concept into ‘filters’. In this context, filters provide the ability for an individual to measure and observe the materialization of mental navigational tools within the broader world. By engaging this process, these tools and filters also become representations of the macro and micro conditions respectively.

53

The takeaway of our experience include the shaping of the environment through mental navigational tools. Society is full of complexities that must be broken down in order to simplify the world, and these mental tools lend aid for this simplification. With this in mind and having simplified many concepts within the context of Italy, a discovery has been made. What happens when all of this complexity within cities can be broken down into its parts? The observer then has an acute sense of how much of society functions an the layout of such societies. Because of this acute sense, the observer has now gained the ability to recognize flaws and imperfections that have the ability to be adjusted or fixed.”
