Architecture
3 Architecture is my life. In May 2015 I graduate with a B.S. Architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago. These studies have greatly prepared me for an architecture career as they have taught me to be very deliberate and precise with my work but also to communicate my ideas in a curated and smart way. It has also taught and exposed me to a wide range of software knowledge which are of great value in today’s world and will allow me to succeed in my professional endeavors.

Flowering architecture ToWARDS A SUPRARUAL ARCHItecture ARCH 360 | FALL 2013 Prof. blankenbaker
The functions of Midwest America were the focus of our design techniques for this project. Irrigation systems play a large role in the success of crops and field production. My project began with the study of irrigation spout nozzles. This matrix displayed in rainbow colors shows some of the different nozzle types and their spraying distance along with pattern. The matrix determined the most efficient nozzle type for the desired crop. Mimicking this ideal nozzles’ spray pattern reflects the sense of efficiency in the landscape design. Also mimicking the matrices’ grid layout creates a landscape with functionality and a biology system built within.

site plan Location: North Dakota area: 202.500 sq.ft.
Flowering Architecture is a landscape design that focuses on the cooperation of multiple processes and culmination of landscape production. The grid pattern plan was skewed and altered according to neighboring mounds and domes. This allowed the landscape to work together creating hybrid and unique situations. These mounds were ipped and became oases that act as the main source of water for the irrigation of crops. Fruit trees and tea plants grow in rows along the irrigation pipes. The different colored nozzles accommodate the tree variety and the light green nozzles represent tea plants. The variety in the landscape enables for different vegetation occurrences. In condensed areas the abundance of trees and tea creates hybrid forests, that you see in dark green.

Operation I :
P O R T F O L I O
Mound + Oasis
The Oases are created by the system of the two overlapping topographic conditions. Whenever the planting fields can still be connected without the need of that planting field to continue the irrigation system flow. The flower shaped flips and becomes a naturally produced and resulting condition. This becomes a key feature in enabling the water flow for the landscape. Another interesting result of this unique system is the waterfalls. These are created from heavy over irrigation on one petal of the flower shape that then runs off into the oases’. Waterfalls occur only where there is an oases and is a natural way to filter the water by using the clean ecosystem landscape.
Oases - below plantinG Fields

Operation II : CUT PLAN - Mounds + domes + buildings
The difference between a mound and a dome is dependent on it’s location and relation to the oases. The dome flower is a structure designed with a truss system, where the mound is built up of earth as to take the shape of a flower. The dome allows for there to be an indoor growing center for the trees and tea plants and enables the landscape to be productive during non-growing seasons. This landscape is not only mounded flower shapes covered and filled with plants and trees but also a location to live. The pink jagged and sharp curved shaped buildings are residential and the grey buildings are for landscape production. The shape is intended to mimic and reflect the flower petal edges. The buildings are located in areas of no vegetation allowing for maximum tea and fruit tree production.

The section shows the main functional components of this ecosystem.
The irrigation system is underground and built of prefabricated pipes that run along each row of fruit tree and tea plant, resulting in the offset patterning. The spouts are directed to the interior when a greenhouse is in the dome.
An oases... The irrigation pipes that run along every row of trees and tea, is collected in these oases and supply the landscape with water. An ecosystem is created with the reliance of the land growth on these bodies of water.
13
A mound... is a earth ďŹ lled ower shape with many fruit trees that grow and thrive on top of it.
A dome... is constructed with the use of a truss system, that creates a way of excess production and production during months when the landscape is fruitful.

LAURENhouse KILEY EY PO R T F O L I O Gray living small | chicago ARCH 466 | spring 2015 Prof. xavier vendrell
The living small studio focused on the idea of creating an efficient layout and comfortable living with minimal to no space. A trailer home poses an interesting way to design a home with little space. Trailer homes push all the storage and utilities to the edges allowing for interaction space in the center. Using this concept the Gray House extends and pushes past the edges to gain any available space. This housing unit was designed fit within half a typical Chicago Lot (25’x125’). Being that the exterior walls have all the utilities covering them, natural light comes from large glass entry way doors and second floor glass boxes.

APPLE WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
ARCH 360 | spring 2014 Prof. DAN WHEELER The Apple Warehouse project focused on technological aspects of construction design. The warehouse is built using Cross Laminated Timber and one of our requirements was to design a mezzanine space that allowed for an office space, along with common functional facilities. Abiding by Chicago code the warehouse follows all mandatory specs. The set of drawings clearly represent the simplistic idea of construction. Keeping the idea of a simple clean C.L.T. interior, the mezzanine is designed with the same intention. The C.L.T. platform is suspended by steel cables mounted in the ceiling. Not only does the interior have a simple sense of appeal but the platform suspension reduces the need for only two columns and creates a clean open oor plan. The front facade is all glass consistent with the simplistic design appeal.

VORTEX GARDENS ENERGIES
ARCH 465 | FALL 2014 Prof. SEAN LALLY Air currents can immediately create a boundary, separating itself from the surrounding environment. In the Vortex Gardens, the air circulates around the peanut shaped bowls creating a spiraling air current. This air velocity current and space temperature changes in such a way that reflects the climate and weather. In order to inflict a change in the air output the wind speed and air temperature need to be lower than perceived comfortable. When the temperature is too cold for comfort the air is heated, creating an ideal environment and space for recreation. The garden also changes according to the season and the plant cycle to create the optimum conditions for the plants of that season to thrive. The interior structure of the pockets are inverted fluted wood planks that wrap around the bowl/ peanut shapes, which reinforce the centripetal force of the air funnel spiral. People can sit comfortable along the exterior edge or walk down the stairs to interact directly with the air pocket. The paths leading people into these air pockets are made of two natural stones, which is a material of the adjoining path is also meant to reinforce the central force and air current direction. This space allows people to perceive the space gradually. When entering the flowers and stone area a person perceives light air gust a person would recognize but not make them uncomfortable. While walking along the edges of these shapes the air originally contained within the pocket begins to dissipate out and fizzle. This space is adjustable depending on the climate and corresponding components of the air qualities, The site references the existing flowers of, The Lurie Garden at Millennium park, and the location near the lake influences the air current effect.

This night the air temperature is comfortably warm which then influences the air velocity inside the in-ground pockets. The pockets do not have an added temperature change compared to when days are below 40 degrees below. During these warm months the pockets have lights that lighten the area around them and accentuate the way people view the air streams. The fast moving streams of air rushing in a spiral and slowly vanishing away are highlighted by the lights. The light offers a fun experience in this space and new view of the city at night.

On a common spring day Thunder-Storms in add a magnified change in the space. The strong winds from the South West increase the intensity of the Air Velocity. The space is heated and the air emitted through the inside flutes and creates a strong air current. This current gives people a different sense of experience. During the rain, the air speed enables the rain drops to be pushed away from the pocket, and this allows a space for shelter in the center. The temperature during the storm is 40 degrees, concluding the wind chill along with Air Velocity speed will define the temperature with wind chill. The temperature of the air stream would be warmer than the outside temp.

The atmosphere of this space adapts to acclimate to the external environmental temperature. Because the environmental temperature is below 40 degrees, the windchill factor creates a colder sensation. However the heated air jettisoned from the Vortex Garden neutralizes the cold air and allows the users to experience a comfortable temperature inside the pockets. This creates a clear architecture in that the vortex creates a wall between cool and hot air.

CHARNLEY HOUSE - II DEVELOPING SURFACES
ARCH 251 | spring 2013 Prof. JOHN MANAVES The Charnley-Persky House, located in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan in 1892, was designed with intention and modern american detail. The project reflects the details of The Charnley House redesigning the home based on the concept of continuing surfaces. The redesign of the house takes some original details and intensifies them, exploiting their qualities. The floor is one surface that extends across the whole house and this surface is continuous from the exterior to the interior. The colors represent the floor since the angled floors can be misleading. The spindles taken from The Charnley House extend around the entire set of stairs partitioning this space. The redesign was intended to accentuate the already charming details of this classic home.

CANDY TOWER TOWER STUDIO
Plymouth Ct.
Dearborn St.
ARCH 250 | FALL 2012 Prof. RYAN PALIDER The Candy Tower is a mutli-use building that becomes a new landmark in the cityscape. The all glass building holds a theme park roller coaster and offers unique views of Chicago. The small footprint forces the use of the air rights of surrounding buildings and pushes the normative forms to be jagged and invasive. The cotton candy textured glass reflects the city creating an interesting unification of city and candy.

My first job was working for Flowers in the Country as shop help washing flower buckets and tending to the shop necessities. I was very interested in horticultural studies so I really enjoyed my job and I quickly began learning from one of the best floral designers in the Chicagoland area. She saw in me a drive to exceed and a will to build a strong skill set of floral design techniques. I not only learned the art of floral design but I have extensive experience in almost all aspects of owning a flower shop. I have strong experience corsages and event specific flowers. I am well versed in flower varieties and ordering. My polite and calm personality aids me in working coherently with clients. I have done arrangements for many different styles of weddings and have done flower consultations with clients, and really finding flowers that express them. I love flowers. Even though I no longer work everyday with them I still use the skills I learned. I still design flowers for events, such as baby and wedding showers, wedding receptions, all holiday events and special requests. Flowers will always be a key tool in my creative skill set.
