BOONE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FALL 2018 STUDIO: ARCH 301 INSTRUCTOR: ROMAN CHIKERINETS PARTNER: HENRY MELENDREZ
PROJECT LENGTH: 2.5 MONTHS
AWARD: SELECTED TO COMPETE FOR 2019 HANSEN PRIZE
The goal of the ARCH 301 studio was to engage the landscape of the flat site of the airport, and propose an additional programming to reinvigorate the economy of the airport. Our design for the airport features curving structural elements that integrate themselves organically into the landscape, and seem as one with it. A basement is added to maximize the square footage available for hangar space. Our additional programming is a drone facility and obstacle course to train and license people looking to earn their drone piloting license.

DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT
INSTRUCTOR: LESLIE FOREHAND
PROJECT TEAM: STUDIO OF 72
In the second semester of my architecture education, our studio decided to participate in a semester-long design build project. The end result of the process was a long spanning structural frame that was either infilled with hammocks for leisure, iridescent panels that play with light and shadow, or void spaces. This project was designed and built in one semester with a budget of $20,000. It is currently residing at Reiman Gardens in Ames, Iowa. My personal contributions include preliminary design development, creating the final 3-D master model, and scheduling of construction.

STUDIO: ARCH 201
INSTRUCTOR: AYO IYANALU
PROJECT LENGTH: 5 WEEKS
Our site was in historic downtown Ames. My goal for this project was to integrate an architecture that contrasted the brick facades of typical downtown typologies. This was in hopes to further develop downtown areas to strive towards more contemporary architecture. The building itself is intended as a university housing complex. It was placed in downtown Ames in hopes to draw a deeper connection between downtown Ames and Iowa State University.

EXISTING CLUBHOUSE BY NL ARCHITECTS
REVIT RENDER
In ARCH 334, we are taught revit through a semester long project where we recreate an existing building as accurately as we can in revit by referencing existing drawings we find about the building. We then learn use revit to produce render, plot drawings, and schedules. Everything produced in this section was entirely within the revit program. The building I chose to model was the Clubhouse Varkenoord by NL Architects. This class taught me to be proficient in Revit and fully understand all of its strengths and weaknesses.

INDUSTRIAL: “THE CHAIR” FALL 2018
STUDIO: ARCH 301 INSTRUCTOR: ROMAN CHIKERINETS PROJECT LENGTH: 4 WEEKS
This project was about studying natural flora and abstracting it into a furniture piece. I choose to study roots, and how they embed themselves into the ground to allow for the flowers to spread upward out of the ground. The resulting furniture manifested itself as a chair, made of a curved frame. The edges in the legs ensured that it would only work in dirt or grass, or soft outdoor ground. This maintained its connections with roots. Overall, this chair was sturdy, light, and relatively cheap to produce.
