chose a site located at the northeast edge of the lake.

This

location was chosen for two reasons:

1// The existing terrain had a gentle slope that could be utilized for outdoor seating.

This

existing site

condition reduced the need for major excavation to create a space optimal for outdoor performances.

2// This site is located close to an established parking area.

Utilizing

existing parking further reduces the

impact of developiment for the theatre on the park or the surrounding residential area.

Concept // The concept behind the prosective form is centered around the idea of bringing together the community.

The

thought is that even the construction

process becomes an opportunity for the community to interact.

Members

of the community can come

together and contribute to the construction no matter their skill level.

The

space becomes more special to

the community because it is built by the people who will enjoy the end result.

Study // The intention behind this project was to construct with materials that are widely accessible.

A

rigid frame could be built

to create the skeleton of the performance space.

there, a skin system of readily

Children’s museums are designed in such a way that kids learn much more than they realize. Exhibits are made to be engaging and interactive to those who visit while conveying complex ideas about physics, anatomy, geology, design and engineering in easy to understand ways. They are meant to fan the flames of curiosity that exists within all of us. If successful, a children’s museum will serve as the origin point for a lifelong pursuit of understanding how the world works around us.


Project Description //Wondertorium Children’s Museum had just been established in Stillwater and needed more exhibits for their new location. My studio class took on the challenge as a design/build project that was part of the curriculum.

After

spending a week doing research and traveling around to different interactive

museums, each student was responsible for coming up with an initial idea based on what we had learned from our research and travels.

Students

were then

grouped together based on similarities in initial idea to come up with a refined concept. these refined concepts would eventually become the built exhibits of the museum

of a mechanical nature that stood alone as an arcade style interactive toy.

After

copious amounts of sketching and conversation we established unifying

ideas that would make up our final machine.

interface that all ages could understand

// Machine components would only utilize simple machines to achieve the

goal of ball travel

// Each component would highlight a different everyday object to inspire

children to build their own machines at home

Machine Overview //The machine has three devices that act as elevators to bring balls up from supply tubes hidden in the cabinet.

Each

elevator then deposits the ball into a series of tubes that

lead to a cascade wall where the ball falls back down to the table top where a series of pins randomizes the ball travel and deposits it into one of two holes that lead back to the supply tubes underneath the tabletop.

Site Selection

//The site allotted for this project is located on a portion of Osage Hills State Park. Within the allotted area, there were a few existent roads and old WPA camp. Our number one goal was to minimize impact on the site itself while getting the most out what was already available. The determining influences for the site selection were vegetation density, flood plain evasion, topography, avoiding The WPA campsite and using existing roadways on site. Osage Hills State Park

Chicago is an assimilation of enormous buildings that have a distinct emphasis on structural aesthetics.

roof.

The church building has long been used for more than just a place to hear a sermon on Sunday mornings. It serves as a meeting house, reception hall, performance venue and about every other function that could potentially serve the surrounding community. At some point it becomes necessary to build a separate space outside of the church building to perform these duties.

Providing another location serves as a second source of pride for area residents in their community. In order to have the greatest positive impact on the public at large, there must be multiple locations of reverence.

programs


Beginnings // I was fortunate enough to be approached by a contractor’s consultant company that had recently established on office in

Oklahoma City. A

church organization they were consulting wanted to build

a project somewhere on the northeast side of

Oklahoma City. This

region of the city has had very

little development over the years and the church wanted to provide a place that would supply area residents with a location they could be proud of.

In

order to achieve this goal, they needed some visual

representations of the prospective project to use for fund raising.

At

this point in the project, they

were still looking for land to purchase for the project so no information about the site was available to me.

Only

having the image shown to the right and a couple of initial meetings to get to know the

wants and needs for the project,

I

prepared drawings to the best of my abilities.

Early Iteration //Early study revolved around establishing a formal geometry. I

began with a very symmetrical form inspired by the sketch provided

to me by the client.

The

inefficiencies of this scheme mostly revolved

around not being able to fulfill the full wish list of the client.

Using

similar geometries for various functions would force the façade materials to differentiate zones in order to achieve the goal of independent distinction of each zone.

successful portion of this

scheme is the central bay that smaller spaces are organized around.
