Lobby As one enters the museum from the west side, they are greeted with a view of the Heritage Tree, existing on the site, as well as items left behind from demolition of the site. This shows the impact that new construction has on the environment. Although this does go against the beliefs presented in the museum, these items and practices educate people into the true repercussions of the built environment. The circulation and change of elevation exemplify the changes the planet has endured.

Impact Gallery The"rstgaller yiswherear t, sculptures, photographs, and diagrams are shown in a traditional gallery manner. Here people are introduced to the idea of how the planet is treated and can visualize how our planet is impacted. Artists like Geo Rutherford are displayed in this gallery. Ms. Rutherford travels the great lakes and creates prints, artist’s books and large-scale mixed media works focusing on notions of invasiveness, impermanence, and the unseen in relation to the Great Lakes.

Greenhouse In the greenhouse, people can experience the native trees, bushes,and#owersthatcan be seen in the Dallas Fort Worth area of Texas. When the weather is not as ideal outside, guests at the museum are welcome and encouraged to take a trip through the garden of hope inside the greenhouse. This greenhouse is constructed using structural glass and 8’ wide structural supports all around. With the addition of glass"nsaboveandonthe inside of the courtyard, guests have an uninterrupted view of nature.

Sustainable Cafe Thecafeo!ersanopr tunit y for people to experience food in a way that does not harm the environment. This food would be plant based, nutritious, and produced in a sustainable way. Much like the Gift shop, the cafe will show people ways they can improve theirdailylivestobn"tthe planet and future generations. The classrooms on the north id s fteohiscafeo!erplaces for guests, schools, and groups to engage in a lesson and conversations with local experts and people passionate about changing our future.

·2· WELLNESS GARDEN SPRING 2021 Kansas City, Kansas

description Using the needs that were found through the site and county analysis, separate buildings were created to serve each of those needs. The Education Center serves as a space for people to learn about the history of the area as well as day-to-day skills that can aid their daily lives. The Wellness Center serves as a space for residents in the county to get regular checkups,

vaccines, medical advice, as well as help with mental health issues. The Garden Center allows people from the community to gather and produce vegetation in addition to nutritional food in their area.

The Garden Center provides a place for community members to grow and produce their own food and vegetation. With little access to grocery stores with healthy food options, during any season, people are able to grow their own healthy produce to use in their meals. This is also a place for the

community to earn income. They can sell leftover produce the community plants for themselves, or produce that theygropwseci"callytosel. This way the community can serve themselves and those around them.

·3· ASILO DE SIERRA Partner Project with Danny Derouin FALL 2020 MAMMOTH LAKES, CA

description Just as people travel here to enjoy the hot springs, Asilo De Sierra allows the guests to be guided by the water surrounding them. Water throughout each space leads guests to a new destination such as the lap pool, villas, hot tubs, and new views. At Asilo De Sierra, the water creates the pathways. The function of the separate structures was heavily in#uenceydb theusageand management of the climate and the elements of weather. The communal space maximizes the use of rainwater and harvests it to use in the kitchens, bathrooms, and bar areas. The individual Villas capture the solar energy through the glass panels placed atop the roof, seconding as a skylight.

Communal Area The communal space includes a solid exterior front wall that creates a barrier for the guests to pass through. Once entered, people are greeted with an expanse of windows, freeing them from the solid facade. These windows allow an uninterrupted view of the mountains behind the hot springs. This allows them to enjoy the view from wherever they"ndtheesat mlv the resort. The front entrance (seen above) features a water wall, displaying the most important aspect of this resort, water. A thin sky light allows daylight to spill into the entrance hall and guides the guests through the space and down the main axis towards their next destination. The outdoor lap pool, which surrounds the main communal space, allows access to outdoor dining, living and the bar.

The individual guest houses include a window wall exposing the beautiful private views of the mountains. A shower that can transform into an outdoor shower (seen above), supports the enjoyment of Mammoth Lakes with optimal privacy created from the adjacent walls. Both spaces, communal and private, are constructed with rammed earth, giving purpose to the extracted earth needed to construct this resort. As seen below, the streamthat#owsunderthe central axis and the pathway into the guest houses, guides people to where they are wanting to go.

Indoor Pool The indoor pool gives guests an addional option to enjoy the water without being exposed to the ever-changing weather. Theo"nr gabethe vo pol allows for solar powered glass panels to permit daylight in but also protect from the sun. With many levels under the water,

people can enjoy swimming, sitting, treading, or just dipping their feet in. Wherever the guestmay"ndthees,mlv they will never be detached from the area in which they came to experience with the surrounding windows.

·4· WALL SYSTEM FALL 2020 MAMMOTH LAKES, CA

description The Burj Al Maydan, created by Morphosis Architects, located in Dubai UAE, is an eighty-two story, mixed-use tower project designed as a competition entry for a development site. The project includes reid s ential,hotel,o$ce,and retail spaces, as well as a plaza and gardens situated along the canals of the Business Bay development zone. It served as the inspiration for a single

uncut, connected piece of 11x17 paper. Each element of the building was included into the paper model mimicking the overall structure of the original building. The spinal strength of the tower in the center of the Burj Al Maydan allowed for theo!setbalancingactftohe curved surrounding structure to stand and remain stable. These same attributes are found in the paper model.

Paper Plan The transformation of this single piece of paper into a 3D model is found within the cuts and folds seen in this plan. Each scored line, once folded, creates a stronger element than without it. The #aps,foundwithinthegroup of scored lines and spanning the bottom of the paper, create a foundation for the stacked curves and the rest of the structure. The plan, created on a single sheet of 11x17 paper ,consists of score lines, cut lines, and pin holes that direct and guide the construction of the model.

Paper Plan This singular element, taken from the bigger model, was constructed out of a smaller, but still connected piece of 3x5 paper. Each scored and cut line helped create a more stable form allowing multiples to only be held together with force and no adhesives. together with force and no adhesives. The same construction process that was used in the previous model was used in the smaller model to create thesam!ee ct.
