AGRICULTURAL GREEN BELT BIKE N BITES Gray’s Station Area Des Moines,IA
NATHAN AND LISA KALAHER AWARD FINALIST
Our proposal calls for a farmto-table restaurant, bike shop, grocery store, and a greenhouse located above Gray’s Lake in Des Moines and adjacent to the currently developing Gray’s Station residential + commerical complex. This along with the newly built pedestrian bridge becomes a destination for bikers and its ever growing culture and influence in Des Moines. The form derives from carving out the circulation coming from the development and bike trails, and to draw out water drainage towards areas for collection and resusage. As with the interiors, having the goal of exposing the wooden structural members for the roof into the public spaces, raised access floors and radiant heating were used for the programs. Additionally, light wells were implemented to create a dramatic setting with diffused light as well as acting as vertical gardens for the greenhouses and natural ventilation. All these design decisions were made to support the bike community, the local farmers and agricultural services, and to create an exciting location for newcomers in the city.

MINI PROJECT: PARASITIC VERTICAL HOUSING 8 Centre Market Place Lower Manhattan, NY, NY We challenged the typical white box art gallery where the space itself becomes the inspiration for the art, rather than only having the art inspire the user. Using a pre-existing building for our design, our “parasite� begins from the inside of the building, pouring out until it decreases its density to the small entrance opening on ground level. Our concept introduces the idea of having the art partially hidden to encourage exploration throughout the space, either peeking around a partition or as a silhouette through the polycarbonate materiality. Although the components are exposed in one way or another, the public circulation and private access are kept separated by locating the artist resident circulation within the existing building.

PARASITIC VERTICAL CAMPUS 520 West 25th Street New York, NY 10001 A proposal for a parasitic, vertical campus dealt with the frustration between lack of permittable public space on W 24th and W 25th Street in Chelsea, NY. Challenging what is considered truly public in Chelsea became a focus point in developing our design. The intention of the overall form was to promote a positive gentrification in the Chelsea area whilst having a physical connection to the Highline, which develops plenty of pedestrian foot traffic. Activity throughout the school is exposed to the highline level and other levels as well, making the integration of our design and the existing building seemlessly coexist and prove to benefit from one another. Access points, (SW) ground level on existing building side into auditorium, (NE) ground level on proposed design side into retail + gallery, and (SE) highline level into studio and circulation core strengthen our attempt to connect private and public traffic. Using diagonal masses that cuts through the floors as a continuous circulation, each acts as shared programs which encourages more interaction + collaboration between the school and the public.

BOONE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT 424 Snedden Drive Boone, IA 50036 The current state of the Boone Municipal Airport has a disconnection to its site, as it follows its own typology rather than in relation to what the volumes sit on. This proposal addresses that disconnection by interrupting the standard grid with an overlapping grid in order to obtain a connection between the site and the design. A diagonal grid that follows the x-axis plane runways becomes that standard. With the campus style spaces, it is then unified by a vertical grid, implementing a panel system in addition to bringing functionality to the design. In addition to the regional airport, this design includes a skydiving facility to act as another source of revenue for the owners. The idea of a true public space was challenged in parellel with the typology of a skydiving facility. Continuing the indoor + outdoor concept, this portion of the design allows for the user to witness and experience the sport of skydiving without having to be inside a building, and the skydiver would be able to experience the sense of truly being in air and be exposed to nature rather than being enclosed inside that same building.

STUDIO BUILD PRISMA 1407 S University Blvd Ames, IA 50011 A 1,300-square-foot installation designed and fabricated in collaboration by 77 students at Reiman Gardens for the “Forces of Nature� kinetic art exhibition. Throughout this project, I took part in each step from site analysis, initial ideations, graphics and fabrication. My main roles were primarily construction documentation and the assemblage of the final design. This included assisting in cutting wooden beams, computing a custom steel joint, weaving hammocks, and preparing the iridescent panels.
