Architectural Portfolio

Kelly Corcoran

My goal as a future architect is to ultimately create rich and engaging environments; which, people find functional yet inspiring. Traveling has inspired me to be passionate about immersing myself in new experiences and cultures.

When I travel, I use photography, painting and sketching to capture the unique expressions architecture can contribute to the place it occupies. These mediums grant me more time to absorb interesting qualities like light or texture in a space, which; later inspire me in designing architecture.

WahZhaZhi Archive Degree Project [Washington University in St. Louis]

R evi t The best survey of the Cahokia mounds was made in 1819, when Army Engineers en route to the upper Missouri River measured the mounds while waiting for their steamboat to be repaired. They counted 25 mounds from Biddle Street North to East of Broadway, just North of today’s Laclede’s Landing. Archaeologists believe the mounds were erected by members of the Mississippian society that built the great Cahokia mounds across the river. Their work probably took place between the years 1000 and 1450 AD, confirming the importance of this area to commerce long before settlers arrived. By the 1830s, city development pushing northward led to wholesale destruction of the mounds.

Sugar-loaf mound was threatened by a neighboring quarry in the early 1900’s. The only reason it’s still present today is because the plot was privately owned noting the house perched on top of the mound. In this project the Archive is then placed into the ground where the quarry had once been. The Archive is for storing Native American Artifacts within the ground and allow Native American Tribe Member to have sacred time with each piece along with providing space for modern research to take place within the facility. The main conceptual idea was to provide many different viewing points back to sugar-loaf mound, whether from inside the landscape or from atop of the public lookout tower.

Vitra Artek Center

Spring 2014

Comprehensive Studio

[Aalto University/WUSTL]

Helsinki, Finland Ullanlinnankatu (between the Architecture and Design Museum) R evi t Conceptually the building design attempts to mend the space between two major design museums in Helsinki and connects the urban fabric by creating a museum row. The glazed main entry faces north flanked by two perforated soapstone walls. There is a large glass northern facing wall, that allows Vitra-Artek to become a beacon of light during the dark winter months and attract public attention for displaying furniture in the windows. The glazed main entry is shaded by wooden plywood louvers to provide a softer texture, wind protection and privacy to the ground floor entry. Each floor throughout the whole building is visually connected by an open central atrium and stepping floor plates, to encourage hybridized activities and mixing of different users. This allows the general public in Helsinki who visit The Design Center first hand experience to Vitra and Artek’s design. In the summer the cafe space can be opened to the south bringing in the landscape with a vegetation terrace and a secondary exit with to the South-East.

Traditional Training

[CUA Study Abroad Studio] Spring 2011 Site: San Marcello al Corso Rome, Italy

Han d d ra w i n g Kelly’s Undergraduate education was in Architecture, The Catholic University of America placed strong emphasis on the hand. Her professor’s aims were to help students in architecture, and related design fields, to think through drawing, and to envision sketching as a tool for storytelling. The lesson of analogous drawing guides students through the laborious and often complex sketching process which allowed them to explore the field creatively in a number of places and major buildings from Rome, Italy and various European cities as subject matters.

Chair Making Studio

Pupu Tuoli [Aalto University/WUSTL]

Wo o d a n d Me ta l S h o p Wo rk The chair design was inspired by walking through the Finnish forest and is meant to highlight subtle movements for light and shadow. The small slot in the back of the plywood chair captures sun light from exterior windows and projects a small sliver of light through to the other side. The small slivers of light move with the passing of time; creating different designs on the floor during varying times of day. The plywood also bends ever so slightly when sat upon, so that the two ‘ears’ pinch and touch one another at the very top of the wooden chair. This chair is designed to be a permanent kitchen or dining room table chair.
