ARCHITECTONICS arch251 1
This project was started a catalog of tracking motions in a fifteen second video clip. This catalog was converted to a language using basic shapes (bars, C's, and squares). As this language developed, a 2 dimensional organizations surfaced. While focusing on architectonic elements, (hierarchy, precincts and zones, economy of means, scale, solid/void), a design came forth. These 2D designs were then stood up and interlocked as if they represented sections of the final structure. The 3D structure consisted of structure, (blue), and interior bounds and volumes (orange). The structure's modular nature creates a consistent repetition that voids can then be cut away from which hint at the volumes inside. The internal structure promotes horizontal translation from the mains structure to the outlier structure. A relationship is drawn through the use of a clear architectonic language.
INFILL arch 252
This project is located in the historical district of Savannah Georgia. The site was to serve as an arcade which connected the retail driven Broughton street to the historical Telfair square. The building also functions a rare book bindery and store. The two masses that anchor the ends of the site create a large void allowing for an internal facade which is composed of a wood a glass screen, creating a permeable barrier between the private and public spaces. The recessed entry creates allure while the glass cladded conference room protrudes and dominates the street. The internal terraces of the floor plates creates several overlapping volumes.

This proposal for Wrigley Park in Mobridge SD involved the overlapping of several grids to organize space and inform the program. Given a range of programs from protest spaces to markets, to performance stage, to labyrinth the site was populated with both discreet, and overlapping elements. This proposal seeks to create spaces at several scales and at various levels of privacy.
The park serves the city of Mobridge as an event location, landmark and anchor of the city’s main street, and green space for pedestrians. This project began as a collaboration studio for third year architecture students who gathered research, analyzed the site, and collaborated with the city council. The majority of the work fell to DoArch Employees (listed above) who completed the design and construction. This project involved interaction with engineers in Chamberlain SD, Gage Brothers in Sioux Falls, Galvanizers in Fargo, and city officials, and local contractors in Mobridge. The construction team was responsible and directly involved in all points of design, procurement, and construction. v

DAKOTA PRAIRIE MUSEUM arch 352 7
This project consisted of a series of 24 massing model to design a children's museum in Aberdeen, SD. The project was done alongside Co-op Architects. The models sought to provide a wide array of possible architectural solutions. The models are to be seen on an individual basis and display a broadening of ideas rather than an editing process. The class culminated in a presentation in Aberdeen displaying over 1000 models by the students.

RETREAT

LODGE
This retreat works to detach visitors from the greater surroundings and life through an immersion into the landscape around the White and Missouri rivers. The site offers an array of terrain types which afford sprawling plains, scenic overlooks, deep draws and wooded spaces. These spaces offer specific relations to the basic elements; air, fire, water and earth which are utilized through each structure’s ground, sky, and material relationships. Upon arrival, guests park their vehicles and approach the lodge. A mound of earth capped by a small structure is all that interrupts the vista. Guests enter the structure and take a lift below ground. They enter a stone tunnel illuminated by many small light wells from above. Entering the reception space, light wells in a radial pattern demark the reception desk where accommodations are made. Adjacent to the space are a meeting room, and staff offices which overlook the landscape. Guests move through the reception hall onto a large open stone terrace populated by a fire pit and bistro seating. Beside the terrace are the kitchen and cafeteria which doubles a recreation room. To the side, gusts move down wide, topographical steps and move

AIR RETREAT
The main goal of the air retreat is to emphasize lightness of materials, and expose guests to the wind. The path from the lodge runs along a high barren ridge that is punctuated by a bluff overlooking the white river where the retreat sits. The ground is cut away with the retreat platform sitting at ground level across a small trench creating a transition from earth to air. The platform cantilevers away from the ridge into the air exposing the retreat to the natural current flowing up the hillside. The structure is comprised of a series of nested triangular canvas shells stretched across a rib skeleton of steel. This material gives a lightness and purity to the retreat and allows for visual interactions with the wind. The shells grow biaxial as they approach the end of the platform. This creates two deck areas; one connected to land, and one connected to the air. This expansion also creates a choke point through which guest transition, and like air curl around to ender the structure. Pass into the open face of the shelter, guests move into a sunken floor that is sheltered from the wind and contains the retreats amenities. Glass windows along the base board permit views of the landscape below the platform emphasizing it lofty nature. The experience is that of exposure and lightness that contrast strongly with the other retreats.

EARTH RETREAT
The earth retreat works to immerse the visitor into the environment. This begins with the approach to the site. The path works its way along the bluff and then plunges into the landscape, bringing the visitor to the retreat at a high angle. The structures appears as a low wall of rammed earth and a roof bed of pebbles. A long volume contains the sleeping quarters, utility spaces, as well as sheltered living spaces. Adjacent to this is a large deck partially covered by a low slung roof. As visitors enter a narrow opening through the thick retaining wall they come to a compressed exterior space. Here, the land flows onto the platform affording earthen lounging space. Opposing this is a rammed earth wall onto which water from the roof flows onto, slowly eroding the face. Forward of this volume the roof gives way to open deck, exposing the visitors to a scenic view overlooking the land. Inside the walls are finished with cool stacked stone topped with clearstory windows that allow north light to filter in. The room is furnished with sofas, tables and chairs. Visitors a supplied with reading materials, games, and basic utilities including running water, an ice box and latrine.

FIRE RETREAT
The fire retreat relates to the masculine, and irregular qualities of fire through robust structure, and varied elements. The retreat is placed in a density of trees having a series of torched stumps lay before it showing the relation of wood and fire. Guests approach at a low angle so that the retreat dominates the landscape. Three volumes in a L-shape are supported by a regular grid of 2’x2’ timber posts. In the rear a 24’ wide volume that peaks above the deck and flat roofed utility space before it. In front, a concrete box cantilevers over a fire pit and communal space that is carved from the land by a boarded formed concrete retaining wall. This concrete box shows evidence of smoke running up its side from past fires. Guests move around this space, uphill to a deck platform. Here they may notice charring at the base of the timber members that gives off a burnt scent. Inside, the timber members sit between wall panels and accept the wood decking into their sides. The walls are perforated by irregular, and pointed windows. Large Clearstory windows bring light in below the timber and steel roof. This space is populated by moveable lounge furniture to allow the personal arrangement of the space. Moving through a utility space with a sink, counter, and icebox, gusts step up slightly into the sleeping quarters that is the cantilevered box. The concrete is warm to the touch from the fire below assisting in a relaxed night’s sleep.

WATER RETREAT
The water retreat works to follow the flowing nature of water through controlling circulation similar to the landscape with the contrast of hard vs. soft surfaces. The guests follow an intermittent stream from the lodge through a ravine. Near the mouth of the stream, they cross the ravine on a long bridge up to the retreat platform. The retreat consists of three stepped volumes that correlate to their program, and a deck facing the river. As guests enter the platform a view port shows them the entrance on the far side, but a heavy metal wall forces them around. Flanked by pipe and cable railing, and solid walls the guests are assuaged toward the entrance. Guests enter the middle volume containing the sink, counters, icebox, and shelving. This moves into a twelve foot living volume that, through the activation of a large sliding glass pane connects to the overlook deck. At this point guest may notice the weathered wood of the exterior deck matches and aligns with the maintained floor planks of the interior. The spaces are illuminated trough three types of glass to represent the three states of water. Clear represents liquid, Rippled, which lines the east wall represents ice, and sandblasted glass for vapor filters light through the clearstory windows. The roof is caped with corrugated metal without sound dampening to allow for the presence of rain to be very apparent. To the uphill side of the retreat, guest may pass through an arch and meet the ground to proceed down to the water and into the landscape.

NOMADIC HABITAT arch 451 13
This project proposes a small, trailer based habitat for a microbrewery. Investigation into maximizing space lead to the development of unfolding mechanisms, hidden elements, and a method of conveying intent and invite investigation. These mechanisms are denoted by red elements which, when actuated, informs the way the trailer works.
HOTEL OMAHA arch 451 14
This hotel proposal sits on a site in downtown Omaha in an intermediary space between residential an urban spaces. The area is dominated by pavement and severely lacking in green space. This project responds to the urban, commercial and residential programs of the area by offering store fronts, restaurants, pubs, and event space below an elevated clustering of rooms, offices, and amenities. These programs surround a central open green which serves the hotel and general public. Through strong structural and nesting strategies, this hotel alters the skyline of Omaha, working to strengthen its urban core.

ART
Through the renovation and expansion of Harding hall, this project works to facilitate and accommodate a growing art department at SDSU. By attaching simple masses, elevated above the landscape, the space between Daktronics hall and Harding is dynamically activated as a thoroughfare and event space. Volumes that are plugged into Harding serve as studio spaces as well as thresholds on the ends of the site and into Harding. Elevating them allows for visual connection across the site. Between the volumes sits a sunken open plaza, ideal for dynamic events and expansive projects. The column grid of Harding is extended upward to support a floating volume of classroom space. This volume equalizes the height of Harding with Daktronics without entirely dominating it. This amplifies the alley characteristic of the site and in conjunction with the plaza and plug in masses narrows the thoroughfare along Daktronics hall, creating a corridor through the space.
