TIMBER IN THE CITY 2013 ACSA Urban Habitat Competition Team Entry with Classmate Wendy Lai
Red Hook Brooklyn, New York

Often in large cities, people go to and from a job and never think or see what is happening in their community. A strong urban connection can help encourage community awareness and lead to active involvement. Using this concept as a focal point, all areas of this mixed-use midrise building promote a level of connection to the people living in the building and to the passersby. A residential bar sits above a parted base creating a plaza—furthermore, an inner spatial connection to the Bike Shop, Wood and Digital Production facilities. The urban connection extends vertically through stairways leading up to the residential bar, communal outdoor patios, and roof top decks. PROGRAMMATIC ADJACENCIES

BRISE SOLEIL SHADING SYSTEM
STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
To help with southern and western exposure, a brise soleil shading system projects 4’0” and is designed around the varied apartment types allowing for maximum views.
SHELVING & LATERAL SUPPORT SYSTEM
CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER SYSTEM & STEEL TRUSS SYSTEM
On a smaller scale, the crosslaminated timber system is laterally supported by industrial steel that also acts as shelving for materials in the production facilities.
The competition challenge was to use a primary wood construction system. This evolved into a primary cross-laminated timber system with 30’0� bays that extended from the base up through the residential bar and a secondary steel truss system within the base that spans the required operational lengths for the production facilities.

KANSAS CITY FITNESS CENTER Fall 2014 Individual Project
Kansas City Crossroads, Missouri

N
The Crossroads District in Kansas City, Missouri, historically consists of many old brick warehouses that were recently transformed into art galleries. Local businesses and the galleries all participate in an event called First Fridays. People walk from gallery to gallery, stopping for live entertainment and dining along the way. Given a street corner location for this project, the opportunity for a plaza creates a place of entry to the Fitness Center and an area to host live entertainment, art displays, or food stands for First Friday events. A central atrium is adjoined by two masses creating an “L� shaped form and then connects to a base located below ground level. Both the atrium and plaza create internal and external spatial adjacencies promoting community interaction. INTERACTION CORE

ROMA GALLERIA Centro Studi, Orvieto Italy Italian Studies Spring 2014 Two works of famous artists, Borromini and Bernini, reside in Piazza Navona. The Church of St. Agnes and the Fountain of the Four Rivers are both major focal points in the piazza. In the Roma Galleria, both artists will be represented in two separate galleries that architecturally and spatially reflect the artists’ styles and work. Borromini’s gallery descends while Bernini’s ascends—linked by a viewing gallery featuring the church on the left and the fountain on the right. The entry offers a choice of which gallery to start with, promoting an initial neutrality that joins the opposing galleries into a continuous loop. This stimulates personal reflection upon the two rivaling artists. The angular form and structure acts as a sculptural piece within the piazza, yet respects the existing art.

INNOVATIVE CURTAIN WALL Graduate Research/Design Thesis_IN PROGRESS Collaboration with Classmates Jenelle Tenneigkeit_Kristy Johnson
HYPOTHESIS: The basic framing systems of curtain walls have remained relatively unchanged for decades, unlike glass technology which has had numerous advances; new materials and methods can be used to create a system that is more energy efficient. CLAIM: Composite systems will provide better performance solutions to facade and curtain walls than traditional curtain wall systems. RESEARCH
