The projects in this document are a unique assortment of style, function, and social experiments that are designed to have a positive impact on the potential user and or its environment. The work shown here is both applied and theoretical and has been produced in a verity of settings with varying levels of professional over-site. Each project has its own learning outcome and purpose, so I invite you to peruse through and find something to take away for yourself. Page 2

RCDI Rural Community Design Intuitive
Working for the RCDI has allowed me to interact with active clients and taught me how to work with both a public forum and a design team to help the communities to see their ideas on paper. All of the projects are collaborative pre-design studies with both student and faculty team members working synergistically to create working documents for the communities to gain a clear idea of how to move forward.

The City of Electric City
Project Statement RCDI worked with the City of Electric City and community members on conceptual design of a local parks and trails system, character of downtown streets, connection to regional parks and related planning issues. The Grant County Health Department developed and implemented a community health survey to develop a baseline of interest and current use of parks, trails and paths. The community participated in two workshops to develop strategies for advancing community identity and developing tourism opportunities. RCDI will provide a summary of the community workshop and design graphics that summarizes the community input. This is a generalized plan of the parks, trails, pathways, downtown streets and regional parks to identify how these features can support economic development, tourism, education, community wellness, and link to the regions and their amenities.
Results of Community Workshop May 14th 2016 Pathways and Sidewalks - Bike friendly - Safety - Illuminated crosswalks
Parks - Picnic tables around town with shade - Water features/Water park - Larger park with soccer, baseball and basketball

Building Analysis
Casa Batllo Barcelona, Spain Antoni Gaudi Photo: Gaudi Sketch
Walking through Casa Batllo is like walking along the ocean shore, every surface and texture are carefully crafted to suit its purpose. The walk up the stair case from the entrance to the first floor was completely satisfying, feeling the wood rail in my hand and transitioning up from a cave-like room into a high ceilinged hall with wood accents all around, every sensation seems to have been given thought.

Building Analysis
Military History Museum Dresden, Germany Libeskind Photo: Hufton+Crow Photography
The experience of walking through this building is hard to describe, the original section is quite beautiful and rich with traditional architectural features while the new section is a wealth of abstract angles and dizzying shifts. While in the new section it is easy to forget that just a moment before you where standing in a classical and wholly symmetrical historical building. Libeskind’s design seems to intentionally make the occupant feel slightly uncomfortable and off center, the tilt of the walls seems to reference the crookedness of the displays inside. This museums focus is on the human experience of war, the expositions do not simply name generals and state the outcomes. The texture, smell, and weight of the conflicts are on display to be experienced.

Convergence Second Year Architecture Studio 2014
“Office in a small city” By: Andrew Hopper
This project started with an analysis of the given Andrew Hopper painting. The first phase was to asses the rest of the room that is not in the painting. Second the analysis extended to the building that the office would reside in. The building was designed around the room. Finally the convergence between the building that we designed based on the painting and an existing architectural work.

Benlin Warehouse Buffalo,NY 1930’s
Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center By: Renzo Piano
From the painting I designed a simple functional room for the man at the desk (in the upper right hand corner of the plan).
The project expanded to the building that the building existed in. I designed an abstract atrium that extended beyond the roof and structural walls.
The syntheses of Renzo Piano’s Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center and my office building design. I brought the ribbing style from the Tjibaou building into the interior vertical circulation as well as onto the exterior of the building.
Process sketches, rhino work, and some detail planning. Much of the design work for this project was done by hand.

Library 606 Third Year Architecture Studio 2015
This project is focused on a site the class visited while in Chicago for the third year study tour. The site is located next to the Bloomingdale trail/line 606 and the blue train line. The program is a library that has some connection to the 606 and the community around it. Because of the heavy bike traffic on the trail this design has a ramp connection to the trail that would also allow wheelchair and general pedestrian access to the trail from the library. The canopy over the accessible lower roof and the courtyard is patterned after the cityscape itself. It creates a unique atmosphere of quiet and calm in the middle of this busy city.

Third Year Architecture Studio 2015
This project was a true learning experience. I worked whit new concepts and materials to interpret the moment and significance of a space. Through Photography I crated a montage to emphasize the moment of pause along the circulation path. With the experimentation of concrete I was able to bring physical form to the idea.

Berlin Blocks
Designing a process Fourth Year Future Cities Studio 2016
Page 16
As a social response to the Do-It-Yourself and Do-It-Together communities that are common in Berlin, Germany this project seeks to design a process or system for such communities to build on. This process is a platform for communication, small and large group gatherings and many other programmatic uses the community may have.
Form Finding and Transportation
Several form finding studies where conducted using digital and physical modeling in order to determine the a pattern and shape suitable for this project.
Using a diamond rhomboid shape instead of a simple cube allows for a more dynamic appearance. The slope of the vertical panels creates a relaxed feeling in the space and encourages reclining and climbing. The panels can also be arranged horizontally to for a terrain or vertically as a wall.
The panels can be fitted together with a notching system. Panels could potentially be made at a public fabrication lab or wood shop with a CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machine. The notches make for easy and fast assembly on site and allow the blocks to be taken apart during transport.
Page 17
Site for Berlin Blocks
The example site for this project is Allmende Kontor in Templehof park, Berlin. Allmende already has a mixed use as a public garden and as a gathering area for large or small groups.
The top right graphic shows the gardens of Allmende surrounding a large central cluster while the center graphic shows the blocks disseminating through the gardens when they are not needed in the center.
dieausloeser.net
The bottom graphics are some parti of cluster types with the use of a wall as a supportive and space defining device.
The goal of this study was to design a flexible system that would help promote a scene of community on an open site. This would allow anyone to quickly and easily build a gathering space to suit the needs of a pop-up community. Page 18
Function
The rhomboids can be clustered in whatever configuration suits the group the best. The complexity of the form crates visual movement and can be used to direct movement of the participants through the space.
