RACHEL KEEVEN
Architecture is at its best when simple, but correct moves, are made. I aim to design simple partis that create easily understandable building forms, plans, and organization. The experiences of a building should not be interrupted by confusion or being lost. Simple does not mean boring though, but actually allows for more creative design decisions to be made in the details and character of the design. Smart design does not necessarily mean doing the most elaborate design, but what is right for the building and environment.

MoPA MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE DEMOCRATIC FOREST COLLECTION WILLIAM EGGLESTON
1/16� Model
Museums typically generate the idea of art and artifacts. When asked to question the prototypical museum, for me the gallery remained the core component, but the opportunity to create a community center that could also help liven a once thriving district in Memphis directed the intent of the design. The programming of the MoPA aims to invite users to visit the community centers of the building, but to always be reminded that the soul of the museum is the Democratic Forest Collection Gallery.

Memphis, Tennessee
Downtown The South Main Historic District creates a downtown urban experience in Memphis that is focusing on “coming back” after it started to be deserted in the 1960s when the railroad was no longer used as often. In the 1980s the area named many buildings historic sites and since the 1990s has been reestablishing entertainment, restaurants, art, and living in the district. The river walk has also become an attraction. The Memphis skyline is easily scene from this area. Though the area has been “coming back”for over a decade many lots are still empty or in much need of care.

INSTALLATION LINES OF ATTRACTION KANEKO MUSEUM OMAHA, NEBRASKA
Space is greatly defined by the physical environment, but possibly more importantly through individual perceptions and previous experience. Asked to design an installation for a museum in Omaha, a small design team and I explored parametric design and spatial relationships of unusual building materials. Each mass of the original two part tensile string installation design followed the same principals, but the forms followed inverse convex and concave curves to play with the users perceptions. During the installation process, the design was reduced and simplified due to construction and time difficulties. The first mass followed the concave form from the original design while the second mass followed an impromptu shape created on site. Through trial and error during construction, we were reminded that creativity and design are never perfect, nor finished.

COUNTER ARGUMENT HEALTH AND WELLNESS GRADUATE STUDIO TEAM: HANNAH KRAMER, NICOLE MAETR, LIZ NIKOOMANESH, PHIL PERKINS, WILLIAM WEINER
COUNTERARGUMENT
With the definitive future of a declining town remaining an unknown variable, steps must be taken to ensure a new public forum possesses the capacity to follow suit as the town proliferates or deteriorates. The forum is embraced by a program which addresses and assesses the wellness of the community, both individually and communally. It is paramount that diagnostics be integrated into the new formology, a potential data grid likened to the metaphorical imagery and ideology of TRON. As parts age and decay, the datacenter senses this degeneration and immediately orders a replacement from a catalog of parts on standby. The scheme presents a counter argument to the entire archetype of the urban life cycle. Rather than fleeing from the idea of death, this alternative model embraces the polarized potential of the future of civic engagement. It is human nature to be both repelled by and attracted to change. A steadily shifting arrangement of forms within a rigid framework allows structured gratification, a method to the madness. The change inherently becomes a constant, a flurry of ensuing activity accepting a role in the subconscious background of daily life. Enforcing itself into this steady rhythm is the juxtaposition of curvilinear form with modular structure. This becomes the moment—the opportunity for variation within the system which brings with it warranted attention and attraction. Our intention is not to prescribe an architecture for the future. Rather, we motion to suggest a method of critical thinking for the here and now. We have no way of conclusively predicting the absolute needs of any population or community over time; however, we can define a system for building flexibly and intelligently, with the needs of the citizens ever the driving factor. In this way, the public realm becomes self-aware and socially defined. Cities can begin to shape their own futures, allowing those who best know what problems lie therein to apply targeted solutions.

The tower contains vertical circulation to allow the size of the building to increase or decrease in floor levels as needed. The towers create a visual reminder of how well the town’s health is sustained by being more visible if the town is decreasing in population or growing.

36
COUNTER ARGUMENT
Many rural town’s downtown areas are becoming vacant and inactive. The building site in the Haxtun case study sits directly behind main street to help increase the density of the downtown area. Direct access between the building and main street through the Public Forum encourages use of all spaces on the block.
The building at full capacity would host a full recreation center, critical access hospital, and elderly living center. The outdoor spaces would be accessible at all times by the public.
37
As a town’s population decreases, the building will be able to deconstruct as necessary without leaving a large empty building that attracts vandalism or vacancies throughout the structure.

BOOMER HOUSING DESIGN FROM THE INSIDE OUT APARTMENT HOUSING
As the Boomer Generation reaches retirement, home design for aging Americans must change. Boomers are expected to live much differently than their parents. Many will retire from their career, but continue to fill their time with a part time job, volunteering, and activities in their community. In this project research guided design to create a space that aging in place which requires design to adapt to changes that people experience as they age. Focus was put in the interior living space versus the exterior aesthetics. To guide interior design the 600-900 square foot apartment is placed on a street corner in downtown Lawrence.

FIELD STATION NORTH LAWRENCE, KANSAS DESIGN-BUILD STUDIO TEAM: KYLE KUTZ, NICOLE MATER, MARIAH TREVIZO
The KU Field Station received a grant to expand their infrastructure with a small year round greenhouse, a larger uncontrolled greenhouse, a multipurpose space and fenced research space. Our designbuild studio was asked to propose designs for the new facility. We worked in groups similar to a firm and studied the research, users, and site at the Field Station. First, five groups proposed a custom and semi-custom design. We critiqued our designs to reach what the client really wanted and needed, and reduced the design to three. My group proposed a semicustom design that used a Varco Pruden rigid frame. The client was happy that our design paid attention to their needs and likes and the conditions of the site and worked functionally for the research.

54
FIELD STATION
The Field Station is north of the university’s campus in a very rural setting. The site consists of experimental ponds and forests. The existing buildings are placed randomly near the entry of the site and are mainly prefabricated sheds.
55
Our Main Ideas We will frame the natural environment with the new built forms, maximizing the views of the site and creating practical and sustainable work spaces. We will emphasize a connection to downtown Lawrence by establishing sight lines to the south in order to maintain a stronger relationship to the city and emphasize its identity as part of the University.
We were first asked to develop a master plan for the site. Our master plan provides guidelines for future land use that are based on our main goals for design.
Expand Controlled Area Future experimental land expands to the north.
Restore/Preserve Let the second generation growth to the west grow back to a natural wooded Kansas landscape. Revitalize/Beautify This land provides the prettiest view of the fieldstation. We propose to beautify it with a native Kansas landscape to give the Field Station a “face�.

The Tower To create a connection to KU’s campus we designed a tower that allows views to the campus, and the surrounding site. The tower also allows the Field Station to harvest wind energy and bring Internet access to the rural area of town, which is a possible source of revenue for the Field Station.

A polycarbonate, panel facade system was designed for south sun exposure to the greenhouse spaces.
A large garage door at the entrance and the three pivoting doors to the Outdoor Classroom framed a view through the building to the prairie grass field and ponds.
61
Semi-Custom Design The building is based on a clear bay system. Varco Pruden rigid-frame structural elements have a thirty-five foot span and sit sixteen feet apart on concrete footings. By choosing the increment of sixteen feet, we are maximizing the use of materials, as most materials are manufactured in increments of four feet. The bay system also allows for the option of expansion in the future. The thermal and skin elements then are applied to the structure sequentially in a rapid process. The refined elements, such as the rain screen and custom doors can be crafted off site and attached to the building at a later stage.

A trench of river rocks controls water drainage around the building and allows water to percolate back into the water table.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) insulate the building with an R-value of 14 and are able to be installed quickly. SIPs are also capable of spanning the full distance between columns without further lateral support. We finished ours with peg board to accommodate the users needs.
Perm-A-Barrier (Grace Construction) polyethylene membrane ensures the longevity of the wall. It insulates and seals out most moisture, but also allows vapor to escape the wall. It is flexible and easy to install, but must not be extensively exposed to sunlight.
Reclaimed wood salvaged from telephone poles has been cut and planed to size.
The concrete mixture is made from a mix of cement and flyash, a by-product of coal production.
The structure is a basic kit-ofparts component from Varco Pruden. Using industrially manufactured components saves money, since Varco Pruden is a local company this places less stress on the environment.
Corrugated metal acts like a rain screen and protects the membrane from sunlight while keeping out most moisture.

Materiality The materials chosen were based on their performance and functionality and stay true to the agrarian aesthetic prescribed by the context. These materials are easy to install in a modular fashion for faster construction.
Peg board was chosen for its functionality within the warehouse, to make organization and storage easier. It also allows the walls to breathe more easily, in the case that any moisture vapor needs to escape. It is more durable than gypsum board and is installed with precisely placed, exposed fasteners.
The wooden rain screen shades the UV sensitive vapor barrier and keeps the most direct water away from the walls of the building. Aesthetically, it emulates other architectural installations at the site. The wood is recycled from telephone poles the Field Station already has access to.
Galvanized corrugated metal is durable and affordable. It, like the wooden slots, act as a rain screen to protect the walls for excessive amounts of water. It contributes to the agrarian aesthetic of the design based on site context.
A bed of river rocks at the base of each wall ensures that water runoff will percolate back into the water table and helps the perimeter resist puddling. It filters out contaminants, like fertilizers, making the site more sustainable. It also grounds the building to the landscape in a clean, minimal aesthetic.
Two vapor barriers were chosen. Perm-A-Barrier for vertical surfaces, because it is permeable and allows vapors to escape if they do enter. It is self seaming. On the roof, because it is better for horizontal surfaces, Ice and Water Shield seals out all moisture to ensure the roof does not leak.
