PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
The Tour Majunga is a brand new 42-story building under construction in the La dĂŠfense district of Paris, France. The Tower consists of three strips in plan that offset and create folds in the dynamic facade. The south facade provides loggia space for each floor allowing for workers to be more productive. Simple environmental design strategies were used such as a doubleglazed south facade, loggias, and opperable blinds. The base of the tower consists of different levels of vegetation adjacent to the cafe and restaurant that provide public space for the employees and local residents.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
The Tour Ariane addition was to be a meeting room added to the top of a 36-story tower in the La défense district of Paris, France. In less than a month we designed a one-room “glass-box” equipped with a kitchenette and a bathroom with the meeting room’s view directed toward the city-center. The facade consisted of panels from the clients neighboring tower the Tour Majunga to save money and visually connect the two towers.
TOUR ARIANE ADDITION
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Objective / To design an eco-quarter masterplan for a site in Europe. Site / The site in Clermont-Ferrand, France was chosen for being a uniqe brown-field site with great opportunity for redevelopment. Solution / The site was nearly a blank slate after a majority of the factories were leveled. All that remained was extremely poor social-housing and two old factories. It was important to connect the local inhabitants to the city while improving their quality of life. A new green-path swashed through the site connecting the city and volcano beyond to the farms in the valley. The path brought a new tramway line as well as pedistrian and bike paths as well as open public space for the locals to grow their crops, mingle, and connect with the old city. Social housing was upgraded and three different types of housing were created for different types of inhabitants. The housing had to respect local conditions such as the sun, wind, and local vegetation while directing itself towards views of the city and volcanoes. The existing road and adjacent commercial center was upgraded and expanded to create a “main street” effect with dense shopping and living that is typical throughout France. One factory was convereted into a mediatheque for local learning. The other factory was converted into a small museum of the history of the site as well as a location for the locals to build “green” technologies for the site and elseware. This enabled local inhabitants to have jobs using their existing knowledge and to teach others about “green” technology applications.

EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Individually, two versions of the commercial center and mediatheque were created to describe ways in which our masterplan could be applied. The idea was to create a dense commercial center with top-floor living-space.
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Version one consisted of surrounding the commercial area with public space while raising the buildings on pilotis so that views throughout the space would be unobstructed. The public space allowed local shoppers, workers, and inhabitants to mingle throughout the day. A colorful pattern of slats partnered with a grey-tone created a new signage while respecting the dark tones of the volcanic rock used throughout the city. Version two was similar to version one but created unobstructed gallery space around each of the commercial buildings. Sliding slats created dynamic shading for each individual using the space and allowed for unobstructed glass curtain-walls to allow for natural light, views, and ventilation.

EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Objective / To design a film institute in New Orleans, Louisiana for either the Warehouse District, the Magazine District, or the Bywater District. Site / The Warehouse District was chosen for its proximity with local residents at work and at home, touristic sites, and schools.
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Solution / The New Orleans’ Center for Film Studies was intended to merge the study of film with entertainment by creating a program that allows an array of people to mix throughout the day. Firstly, the idea was to design the “public building” from the ground, up; and the “private building” from the sky, down. Secondly, the building needed to respect the social and environmental elements of New Orleans. The building started by extruding the building in the shape of the site to local building heights. The building was then deconstrcuted and pieces were carved away in respect of vernacular methods for social and environmental conditions. The rain-screen facade was designed using vivid colors to represent the dynamic and colorful nature of New Orleans. The interior program contains elements needed for the institute to be functional all day and night. A corner-cafe draws passers-by as well as local businessmen. Open shop space, gallery space, learning rooms, and mediatheques bring in day-time students. A screening room, black-box theater, traditional theater, and a roof-top movie projector paired with a restaurant combine to create night-time entertainment for all.

MANUAL EXPERIENCE
If this project were to have a name redux would be a fitting candidate – this is an exercise in using reclaimed/brought back materials that would in all likelihood find their way into landfills across America. Our precedents included products available from companies such as Modern Cabana, Kithaus, and Modern Shed – all prefabricated kits/spaces designed for the backyard. With these products customers have the choice of assembling the kit themselves or hiring a contractor. All of the examples we examined were expandable and considered as outbuildings linked to the primary structure by walkways and other landscape features. All of the precedents utilized a range of programs: i.e., a guesthouse, a pool house, a workshop, an art studio, etc. Our prototype is 100 square feet and was conceived as a series of flat and LShaped components (floor, roof and walls). For academic purposes we chose to locate the unit behind the 1954 Snower House in Kansas City by Marcel Breuer. This example of fine Fifties Modernism was chosen over typical suburban homes as a means of focusing on the abstract patterning that is apparent in its use of plain and patterned concrete block, wood siding and De Stijl based window infill conditions. The prototype attempts to draw on “pattern” as a precise piecemeal fitting together of found materials that often require overlap and stagger in order to function as structure or skin. We also found this type of “pattern” as more closely approximating the notion of suburban transformation over time, where boats, pools, porches, sheds, landscape features, etc., were placed in the back and side yards of homes in order to provide the owner greater functionality or with a sense that their home was one of a kind and where a street once homogeneous becomes episodic. The artist Louis Nevelson states with reference to her use of scrap and found material, “But when I fell in love with black, it contained all color. It wasn’t a negation of color…I have seen things that were transferred into black that took on just greatness. I don’t want to use a lesser word.” For Nevelson, the black paint transforms former discarded fragments into a powerful whole. Our prototype operates on a simple variation of this theme as the black paint renders the “patterned” and reverse mounted vinyl siding and modulated wood trim, into a mostly autonomous box that is then fractured by a transformational west wall paving the way toward a more random interior “patterning of modular panels and skylights. Our choice of utilizing a rotated full length-dressing mirror concludes the desire to reference/bring back/redux the original house in as many “patterned” ways as possible.

MANUAL EXPERIENCE
Objective / To create a deployable apparatus derived from precedence studies of the De Stijl artist Piet Mondrian and architect Le Corbusier.
MANUAL EXPERIENCE
Site / Three sites around Lawrence, Kansas were chosen individually by each group with at least one site being on campus and one site being sloped. Solution / As a small group, we derived this final design through a process of abstraction. Starting with a Mondrian painting, abstracting its essence, and transforming it into a three-dimensional form, we were able to create a human-scale, deployable apparatus. During this project we manipulated how we typically perceive the landscape through natural phenomena. We used the play of light and shadow on frosted glass to create blurred and silhouetted views of the site. The addition of mirrors created views very similar to reality leaving the viewer wondering if it’s real or not. This feeling was enhanced since the frames of frosted glass and mirror could be omitted during assembly. The apparatus would be deployed at each site and assembled according to the site’s conditions. “Legs” were added to adapt to sloping conditions, pieces were left out to frame particular views, and mirrors were rotated to direct views. Lastly, a six-foot tall camera obscura was created to allow viewers an additional view of distorted reality. A camera obscura is a primitive camera that acts like our eyes do, drawing in light from its surroundings and projecting an image upside down on a screen.
