Fall Internship Fifth Year

Architecture-Studio, Bejing

As an intern at Architectur-Studio’s Bejing office, I worked on this competition for the new Urban Planning Museum of Dalian. We won the competition and construction will begin in Spring 2013.

The beauty of the Puwan district of Dalian is found within its many geographic and urban features; surrounding mountains and hills, aquaculture and shoreline, and the growing Puwan City throughout the bay.

We have embraced these surrounding features as design parameters to develop the Dalian Puwan Urban Planning Museum. Our objective is to create an architecture that reflects, views, and reacts with its surrounding urban development and existing natural environment.

The angles of the building were stratigically chosen to highlight certain views and connections that the museum has to its context. Axis are created which connect the various landmarks and public spaces surrounding our site.

Entering the museum there is a continuous thread of circulation that helps to guide visitors through the exhibitions. Within the exhibition spaces this thread changes from a museum tour guide method into a system that allows moveable panels and tables to move throughout the space. This flexibility allows for any exhibition to change and develop over time, and possibly into a different type of museum in the future.

As the architecture responds to the surrounding environments, the landscape responds to the Puwan planning museum’s orientation and shape. The landscape echoes its surrounding elements utilizing local ecology and a thin stream emptying into the canal. The Southern garden has the ability to flood becoming a reminder of the rising tides of the harbor.

EXPERIMENTAL DWELLING for a GREENER ENVIRONMENT (E.D.G.E.) Revelations Architects/Builders Corporation Bayfield, Wisconsin 2009 360 sq. ft.

Summer Internship Following First Year

Revelations Architects/Builders Corp.

While interning at Revelations Designers/Builders Corporation in Steven’s Point, Wisconsin, I worked on the Experimental Dwelling for a Greener Environment, also known as “The E.D.G.E.” As a member of a small team of architects, interns and craftsmen, I worked in both design and construction phases of the project, focusing primarily on detail development, detail fabrication and construction. I was also involved in marketing of the project while it was on display at the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair.

Using tough economic times and materialism as a backdrop, we set out to challenge the notion that “bigger is always better.” The result is this sustainable and portable dwelling that has become a launching point and educational tool to transform the way homes are designed. The 360 square foot structure, originally designed as a 3-D teaching moment, became the centerpiece of the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair.

The E.D.G.E. features rainwater harvesting, geothermal heating and cooling, air-to-air heat recovery and ventilation, and passive solar with insulated shutter doors to minimize heat loss at night or when unoccupied.

North Facade

A modular design, the structure’s mechanical areas (the kitchen and bathroom) are prefabricated to provide quality, afford ability and speed of assembly. These modules are woven together by walls of glass on either side of the central living space, with a loft bedroom above each module.

Precut wood interiors and furniture pieces enable rapid construction at a significant cost savings.

Recipient of the AIA Wisconsin Honor Design Award 2010 “This project has what you need -- no more, no less. The craft of this dwelling was beautifully executed. The design was well thought out. This is a true prototype.

Designing transportable and transformable furniture makes this project exceptional. When a project is going to be this small, it has to be a jewel at every scale and every resolution. We think they have done that here.� ~AIA Awards Jury

DARIO’S BRASSERIE PAVILION HDR Architecture, Inc. Omaha, Nebraska 2012 Summer Internship Following Fourth Year

HDR Architecture Inc.

While interning at HDR Inc. I had an opportunity to work on a temporary pavilion for Dario’s Brasserie in Omaha, Nebraska. The structure was featured at a fund rasing event for a local collaborative called Emerging Terrains. The non-profit group works to raise awareness for small-scale organic farming, while supporting local artists and musicians. The event, titled “Elevate” was a food festival featuring pavilions designed by artist and architects from around the city, each offering cuisine repaired by one of Omaha’s many talented chefs.

In keeping with the sustainable theme of the event we decided to construct our pavilion with recycled materials. The main structural elements are fabricated by layering dimensional lumber with panels of 1/8” steel. To bind the structural members together, we spanned the gap with shipping pallets.

These pallets worked well with the theme of the project and also provided the perfect amount of shade. The summers in Omaha are very hot and, therefore, it was important to ensure that the pavilion would provide a comfortable and unique atmosphere in which the guests could enjoy the event.

Our pavilion was run by a fantastic chef named Dario. He is the owner and head chef at Dario’s Brasserie. Simple counters and serving trays were fabricated out of leftover palates, and the main serving table featured bottles from the extensive list of Belgian beers that are offered at Dario’s restaurant.

NEW ORLEANS CENTER for the ARTS New Orleans, Louisiana 2012 Fourth Year

NOLA CENTER FOR THE ARTS

University of Kansas - Fourth Year

The New Orleans Center for the Arts is imagined as associated with the New Orleans community, drawing upon neighborhood and university writers and artists to create portraits of the people and places of New Orleans. Its mission is to teach, engage, and present work grounded in collaborative partnerships and extended fieldwork that uses, painting, sculpture, performance, photography, film/video, audio, and narrative writing to capture and convey contemporary memory, life and culture.

Magazine Street acts as a dividing line between two very different communities. The section of the neighborhood which lies north of the street is home to a more auent group of people while the community to the south is more impoverished. The mission of the New Orleans Center for the Arts is to promote interaction between disparate groups of people in an environment where they can come together to enjoy art, theater, performance, storytelling, and even coffee with one another.

The Center will bring to the forefront the realization that groups can come together, communicate and openly explore, through the arts, the hidden similarities that unite all people.

QUALITY HILL ANIMAL CARE CENTER Kansas City, Missouri 2011 Fourth Year

University of Kansas - Fourth Year

The Quality Hill Animal Care Center is a no-kill facility designed to contribute to social connectedness within an urban neighborhood while creating a noble dwelling place for animals awaiting a permanent home. The modest structure is intended to serve the Quality Hill neighborhood and the larger downtown Kansas City community with a substantial outdoor programmable space. In addition to animal dwelling spaces, the facility includes adoption and administration spaces, medical facilities, community education spaces, a memorial garden, and crematorium.

In this proposal, the program is divided between two buildings. This is to minimize the risk of disease transmission between animals. The south building functions as a wellness building for sick animals. It also provides overflow boarding for animals when the north building, the adoption building, is at capacity. The adoption building is open to the public, unlike the wellness building, and it is designed to encourage pet adoption. All circulation spaces within the building have direct views into different boarding, training and play rooms. The main purpose of the facility is to find a home for every animal that comes to the center; therefore a comfortable and engaging visitor experience is paramount.

To further encourage site visitors to consider pet adoption, the building is designed to interact with the site, allowing views of animal training and play areas as well as the exterior dog run. The building is located directly next to Case Park, which is the largest public space in the downtown Loop. The site acts as an extension, rather than a terminus, to the park. An elevated pathway extends through the site. This path would be used by the public to move from the site’s access point to an existing viewing platform at the opposite corner.

This design decision was made to bring people who are visiting the park for purposes other than a trip to the Animal Care Center to considered pet ownership.

46664 MOBILE JEWELRY FACTORY South Africa 2011 Study Abroad - University of Stuttgart, Germany Third Year

University of Stuttgart, Germany - Third Year

The 46664 Mobile Jewelry Factory is a modular building concept in which the workers of Nelson Mandela’s 46664 Foundation will produce jewelry and garments. The employees are all impoverished South African citizens who are infected with HIV. Each worker remains with the company between 6-12 months, in which time they receive medical attention and learn valuable skills to help them achieve independence. The proceeds from the sale of 46664 merchandise provides treatment for countless people effected with HIV and funds AIDS research.

The building is designed to be constructed and deconstructed rapidly from a kit of parts. In addition to the speed of construction, the building must be easily expandable and transportable to accommodate increasing demand or alternate production requirements. Finally, the building is designed to be deployable on a variety of terrains in both urban and rural context.

JOHNSON HOUSE ADDITION Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri 2009 First Year

University of Kansas - First Year

The architect of the original building conducted a variety of precedent studies on subjects including Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, artwork from Piet Mondrian, timber billboard construction and antique rowboat construction. Each member of the group was responsible for researching one of these subjects. My research topic was billboard construction. Ultimately, lessons learned from each of our studies were implemented into the design.

The Johnson House Addition was the final project from my first year of studio. The task of this four person group project was to design an addition to an existing vacation home in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. The addition doubles the square footage of the home while providing open spaces which are used as art studios and workshops for both carpentry and mechanical work.
