PIKEVILLE HEART INSTITUTE - TEG ARCHITECTS, LLC. Pikeville, Kentucky Pikeville Medical Center is an existing hospital, set in the hills of Pikeville, Kentucky. The Heart Institute addition and remodel features additional exam rooms, a new pharmacy space, upgrades to the existing morgue and maintenance areas, as well as the sally port area. Additionally, as part of the remodel, existing shell space is converted into sleeping, lounge, and locker rooms for the Heart Institute employees.

WELLNESS in the WORKPLACE - Graduate Thesis, In Progress Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning Human wellness is essential to a fulfilling life and architecture in the United States has failed to respond to it adequately in everyday circumstances. Wellness is the culmination of many different factors, including mental and physical health, high quality of life, sense of fulfillment, and positive change and growth. Human wellness is dependent upon environments, both built and perceived. Research indicates that the built environment affects human lives on a daily basis, including stress levels, mental health, anxiety, depression, cognitive processing and even recovery rates in healthcare settings. Environmental factors, though they have been studied since Ancient Greece, are inadequately applied in professional practice today. As an integral part of everyday life, workplace architecture should promote wellness as a proactive approach, rather than a reactive approach to illness. This exploration of wellness in workplace architecture will focus on creating awareness of the benefits of everyday human wellness, as well as establish design guidelines for a new look at expanding the field of wellness architecture. These design guidelines should then be tested in real-world applications for further evolution. The question that every architecture professional should be asking is this: How can workplace architecture promote everyday wellness?

The Emmett J. Bean Building is a concrete slab and column construction. Therefore, the existing 20x20’ bays will remain intact, and with them, the building’s structural integrity. This simplifies the process of ensuring security throughout the building. As shown in the diagram (left), spaces will be designed to fit withink this grid, using as few partitions as possible, while maintaining appropriate functionality.

RESEARCH FINDINGS
NATURAL VIEWS SYNC with CIRCARDIAN RHYTHM Views to nature is one of the Circadian rhythm is important for mental and most important stress-reducers physical health. This can be addressed in for the workplace. the workplace by using LED color changing lighting.
BIOPHILIA The patterns of biophilic designs are important for wellness.
FAMILIAR MATERIALS INDIVIDUALITY and FLEXIBLE SPACE The use of familiar or “home-like” Allowing for individuality and flexibility in work materials as a calming effect. spaces makes people feel like they have more control of their daily lives.
UNIVERAL DESIGN Every space should be universally designed.
09
DESIGN GUIDELINES
• Must be able to prove the ability for anyone to use spaces as an impact on wellness • Demonstrate the lives impacted (statistics and occupancy load) • Address as much of the occupancy as possible (90% satisfaction) • Inform as many people as possible (graduate students and professionals) • Demonstrate Universal Design that is 30% better than code minimum • Use developed guidelines to design EVERY space • Document all design decisions that impact wellness in each space • Implement intuitive design in each space to avoid solely program-based wellness • Improve depression and anxiety statistics by an estimated 50% • Create educational marketing pieces for the users on the effects of the design decisions in each space

RESIDENTIAL DESIGN CYCLE HOUSE - 2018 Race to Zero Competition Theoretical Project in Carmel, Indiana Cycle house is the epitome of net-zero design in Indiana; it both blends in with its context while standing out from the typical twostory suburban home. A range of lifecycles were considered in the house’s design and construction. It is truly resilient in regards to climate, any combination of occupants, and its innovative material selection process and lifecycle analysis, as well as its future adaptability. Cycle House was designed to fit well within the affordability rate for Carmel, Indiana, the fastest growing suburb in Indiana. The house serves its occupants, environment, and community by providing a learning opportunity along the Monon Trail, a popular cultural trail that connects the site with downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.
Group project with Sabrina Senninger, Lindsey Stoy, and Tony Shupe.

UNHINGED - 2017 Cripe Competition Theoretical Project in Muncie, Indiana Unhinged is a tiny home community for homeless veterans in Muncie, Indiana. Using an industry familiar to Indiana - the railroad - we proposed a sustainable housing solution using converted shipping containers. The shipping containers are easily and locally sourced and are a fantastic form of functional shelter. The tiny home community revolves around accountability, accessibility, and a sense of pride in living. The homes themselves are modular, allowing for multiple configurations and user types, including individuals and families. The units maximize space and save energy by implementing passive ventilation strategies. A unique feature of the single units is that they are wheelchair accessible, as well.
Group project with Kenna Gibson

BUTTERFLY CABIN - Building Technology Theoretical Project in Seymour, Indiana The Butterfly Cabin was designed for easy and straightforward construction. The butterfly-shaped roof collects rainwater into rain barrels and allows for added height in either end of the cabin, which doubles as a passive daylighting strategy. The goal of this project was to design the cabin from start to finish and produce a complete set of construction documents, adequate for understanding and constructing the project.
Group project with Scott Levins and Catherine Wilmes

DESIGN-BUILD 49262 - 2017 Exhibit Columbus University Installation Design-build in Columbus, Indiana Columbus, Indiana is a “tower city� marked by vertical elements that encourage a viewer to direct their gaze upward. 49262 respects and references this verticailty without replicating the same proportions. The object meets the earth with sparse perforations that grow in size and density as the height increases. The object blurs and then fades into the sky, creating a gradient between material and space. Collaborative project with Alex DeKemper, Bryce Derhammer, Colby Cline, Jenna Hoch, Jennifer Pease, Jordan Duke, Joe Koslow, Kenna Gibson, Kyle Miles, Maggie Pendergast, Meghan Miller, Natalie Broton, Reva Derhammer, Tony Shupe, Tyler Bracht, and Zander Franklin.

Muncie Mobile Market - Food Hub Trailer and Display Design-build in Muncie, Indiana The Muncie Food Hub Partnership’s Mobile Market is a source of fresh produce for citizens of Muncie, Indiana living in a food desert. This mobile marketplace travels between several different locations within city limits and sets up shop, where customers can use Senior Dollars, WIC, food stamps, or cash to buy fresh, locally sourced produce. The mobile market consists of an air conditioned trailer with a gate, service door, and sales window. This design-build was a retrofit of the interior space to create a more inviting atmosphere for stroring and displaying produce, as well as prototyping, designing, and building rollings carts for additional display space. This project used architectural knowledge with the incorporation of woodworking, sewing, and marketing skills.

DIGITAL DESIGN + TRAVEL CAPeuroRUSS - Summer 2018 Study Abroad Study in Finland, Russia, Czech Republic, Italy, and France Courses: • ARCH 598: Digital Notes • ARCH 600: Architecture Workshop Digitals notes uses photography to make visual notes about the location in which the photograph was taken. The purpose is to identify architectural notions and make them obvious by editing photos to show the essence of the architecture, from your own perspective. The architecture workshop took place in St. Petersburg, Russia, where we spent one week working with students from the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The workshop included a walking tour of popular St. Petersburg destinations and sketching workshops. Each group of students presented their sketches and digital notes at the end of the workshop to receive respective Certificates of Completion. The following digital notes and photographs were taken on an iPhone 8 and edited using the standard iPhone photo editor, as well as several free applications. All photos were taken and edited by Lindsey Kurucz.
