Architectural Design VII | Fall 2014 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Lars Gr채bner Zhengzhou Waterfront Recreation Development Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China
Group Members: Safei Gu, Parisa Mehdiabadi, Brianne Papendick, Justin Ping, Ken Secco, Tyler Smith, Sam Tremont, Robyn Wolochow, Di Wu, and Julie Wu The Zhengzhou Waterfront Development revolves around the desire to create a pedestrian-oriented urban fabric that integrates and directs different users and programmatic elements to the central recreational district. Efficient reorganization of the green buffer zones allows for dynamic public spaces to permeate through the grid, providing walkable intimately scaled blocks that promote a dense, healthy, and vibrant urban lifestyle.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Architectural Design VI | Spring 2014 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Joel Schmidt MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING
2700 John R Street, Detroit, Michigan Group Members: Bre Davis and Lauren MacKenzie This housing complex is designed around the idea of multi-generational integration and community living. The building has multiple levels of immediacy to give each user a level of privacy they desire for comfortable living. A variety of circulation routes, community spaces, and unit types accommodates different lifestyles, leading to a mix of homeowners, renters, and visitors that activate the community at various times. This flexibility and control of space are directly expressed with the active facade that is continuously changing based on user preferences.

THE COURTYARD AT CASS
Architectural Design V | Fall 2013 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Douglas Kelbaugh MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING
6463 Cass Avenue, Detroit, Michigan Replace existing surface parking lot for the College for Creative Studies School with mixed-use building that has ground floor retail, 156 apartment units, including micro/studio, one, two, and three bedrooms. The building will not only provide housing in a dense highly active area, but also extend the existing CCS campus to the exterior courtyard, through the building, and to the greater surroundings. The building responds to the context on the main facade with punctuated balconies and becomes more active with projected balconies on the interior facing the courtyard.

Architectural Studio IV | Spring 2013 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Thamarit Suchart FLEXIBLE PRESENTATION AND GATHERING SPACE The Design School Arizona State University Campus 810 S. Forest Mall, Tempe, Arizona
The Design School houses constantly evolving students and projects that would benefit from a flexible space which can be easily altered by the designers that frequent the space for the functions that are most useful to them. This concept takes an under utilized space in the existing design building and implements an easy user-friendly module that transforms into the spaces that are needed. By incorporating all the functions that the existing building desires it gives the space a constant liveliness that is not currently present.

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Architectural Studio IV | Spring 2013 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Thamarit Suchart AN ADDITION TO THE DESIGN SCHOOL 123 East University Drive, Tempe, Arizona Arizona State University Campus
The main program of the School of Architecture is the studio and its flexibility to the changing needs to arrange and rearrange as needed for gatherings, meetings, studying, and presenting. The student desk space makes up the main areas with other programs dispersed and integrated in the space. Vertical shifts are made to create private, public, and intermediate spaces above, below, and inside what appears to be floating glass boxes.

NIKE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS Architectural Studio lII | Fall 2012 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Reid Johnson CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
Farmer and University Drive, Tempe, Arizona The building is a hybrid corporate headquarters because it is a semi-highrise in an urban village. An active work environment is encouraged through the buildings open floor plans, the vertical circulation, and the facade. The facade is made up systems of metal plates, louvers, and glass panels that users can move to make the building the most energy efficient allowing diffused natural sunlight as well as cross ventilation into the building.

Architectural Studio ll | Spring 2012 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Milagros Zingoni NATIONAL ROWING CENTER
172 Grove Street, New Milford, Connecticut Group Members: Yen Liu, Marissa Mendoza, Everett Scofield, and Maria Wilson The boathouse responds to the site and context, while threading together the athletes, nature, and architecture. It is organized by the boat bays, which create a platform where smaller pavilions rest on top and are strung together by a service and circulation spine. Green courtyards nestle in between the pavilions, creating micro climates while pulling nature through the building connecting it back to the river and the site.

SPACES OF DOMESTICITY Program: Sleeping
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT
Indoor/outdoor living is encouraged by the square footage of the spaces, making the indoor component of the bedroom seem small and the outdoor space more desirable. The spaces are connected by large glass pivoting doors, which are made possible by the orientation of the space, allowing reflected natural light in summer and direct entry of the lower angled sun in winter.

THE QUAD DOWNTOWN
Architectural Studio l | Fall 2011 Lauren MacKenzie | Professor Wendell Burnette MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING
1st Street and Willetta, Downtown Phoenix, Arizona The square donut shaped structure utilizes the whole site and contains a green courtyard center that projects life and openness out onto the street by use of green louvers on the facade, interior and exterior vegetation, and the ground floor being transparent by use of glass. Each unit has a major and minor view made possible by eroding the southwest corner and offsetting the circulation.

13th Avenue and Jefferson Street, Downtown Phoenix, Arizona The project merges the existing historic cemetery space with a new cemetery and park space. The site slopes down from the street and up from the historic cemetery creating a dividing retention wall with pathways and water features breaking through the wall connecting the two main program spaces, while still keeping a sense of privacy and separation.

The cactus wren can be comfortably viewed from the train car boxes on the terraced viewing platforms. These structures frame views of the birds and Papago Park while shading the user from the harsh desert sun. The design is nestled into the side of the mountain with minimal disturbance to the site.
