THE EXCHANGE

A DESIGN INTERVENTION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY SITE: MAIN CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY; LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY In my final design studio as an undergraduate senior, my classmates and I were posed with the following question: How do we foster community on our campus at the University of Kentucky? This question stemmed from UK President Capilouto’s declaration of “The Kentucky Promise,” an ongoing commitment between the state’s land-grant university and the citizens it serves. “The Kentucky Promise” is a dedication to “foster the potential and brilliance” of future and current students, as well as to use that brilliance to impact the development of the Kentucky people. President Capilouto questioned how we could transform our nearly 150-year-old campus into a 21st century network for living, learning, and working towards the highest of dreams. Our design studio worked tirelessly on separate proposals for rebuilding the University of Kentucky. After spending an intensive semester investigating community interaction on the University of Kentucky campus, I developed a new proposal, The Exchange, for the university’s primary traffic corridor: Rose Street. I developed an animated video detailing the proposal which can be viewed at this link: https://vimeo.com/49776914. I would greatly appreciate it if you would view this video at your convenience as a part of my portfolio. University of Kentucky leaders are currently in the process of generating a new master plan for our campus, and the principles of my proposal were personally recommended by President Capilouto to the planning group. The President said that “You have captured so much of what I believe – that we can through design and space build community, advance public health, better exchange ideas and realize our dreams...The concepts you address embrace the goals we had for our planned revision.” My proposal focuses on creating a community of exchange for UK. The exchange of healthy lifestyles, challenges, emotions, and ideas lies at the center of my design intervention, as does the transformation of a portion of the Rose Street Corridor into a pedestrian main street. Guiding the proposal was a deep understanding and appreciation for the front porch. A staple of American Architecture for many years, the front porch has recently been disappearing from the built environment as a result of new technology pulling the American people indoors. However, the front porch has proven itself as an excellent mechanism for fostering community and promoting intellectual and emotional exchange. This project pulls the front porch environment from the by-gone era into the University of Kentucky campus to encourage interaction between campus populations. By proposing to eliminate automobile traffic from the university’s primary pedestrian circulation route, the project creates a pedestrian corridor where front porches reach out and encourage campus interaction.

RETAIL DESIGN

THE SOUS CHEF

URBAN MARKET AND COOKERY SITE: DOWNTOWN LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY; 19TH CENTURY ERA BUILDING; FIRST FLOOR STOREFRONT; FORMERLY A BANK SPACE The Sous Chef retail design project was a winner of the University of Kentucky’s Oswald Creativity Awards in 2012. Completed in my fourth year of design school, I was tasked with designing an urban grocery market for downtown Lexington, Kentucky. The new market was to be positioned in a 19th century era building in the downtown section of Lexington, Kentucky. Containing charming features from its banking history, including an intricately detailed vault door, the space was narrow and deep with storefront glass running the width of the main entry. Also charged with conceptualizing a secondary feature to the grocery market for an adjoining space to the main address, I created a cooking school space to work cooperatively with the market. Please read the following concept statement that guided work on this exciting project throughout the semester. CONCEPT STATEMENT: The Sous Chef: Urban Market & Cookery will incorporate both an urban market with full service departments and a cooking instruction center. Each component will counterbalance the other in such a way so that the cooking school will support educated grocery purchases and preparation, while the grocery will support the purchase of the ingredients for school recipes. The grocery will offer a wide array of products, but will focus on high quality, fresh goods that are necessary for cooking to a higher standard. The incorporation of the cooking school within the grocery will capitalize on the opportunity to engage the surrounding downtown community and seek to establish meaningful relationships between “The Sous Chef” and clientele. In order to reflect the connection between high quality cooking instruction and high quality goods in the grocery, the design shall conceptually represent the motion and efficiency of a professional kitchen. The rhythm of knife movements in chopping will be explored in the 3D realm while the clean precision and colorful creativity of a gourmet “white-plated” dish will also be investigated. By controlling the use of color in the space to clearly punctuate important focal areas, the design shall mimic the control used by a chef in “plating” a masterpiece meal. A high level of light and geometric organizational structure shall imitate the precision, balance and efficiency needed in a successful professional kitchen.

THE BOUTIQUE HOSTEL

CONCEPTUAL MAP OF “BUSTLING” IN POSITANO

SITE: POSITANO, ITALY; CLIFFSIDE FOUR STORY BUILDING; LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE CITY CENTER; 10 MINUTE WALK TO CENTER VIA: The Boutique Hostel project was completed in my fifth year of design school and was exhibited during the juried University of Kentucky College of Design’s End of Year Show in the spring of 2012. Tasked with designing a boutique hotel in Positano, Italy, this project began with a series of investigative site analyses of Positano, a small Italian cliff town. Upon reviewing the site, the resident population, the visiting population, and the innate culture of the region, a design strategy was formed around mimicking the bustling nature of the town within the hotel interior. This “bustle or murmur” of movement would create a rhythmic pattern within the space that would encourage visitors to engage with their surroundings through interactive interiors. Because interactivity and modular/user-directed spaces became an important issue in creating a “bustling” hotel, I decided to pursue the creation of a boutique hostel, rather than a boutique hotel. By targeting a younger market, VIA could push the limit in terms of spatial interactivity. For example, by designing a hostel floor with an open bed concept and only limited amounts of privacy, VIA innately encouraged social interaction, but at the same time, was an appropriate environment for a younger target market. Overall, VIA used a combination of open hostel floors, private floors, multi-purpose-lecture-gallery-lounge spaces, community gardening, a community fitness center encouraging backpacker interaction and group fitness, and a central elevator/stair atrium to create a number of murmuring movements throughout the space that could come together to form a rhythmic, satisfying experience. Please read the following mission statement to further understand the vision for VIA. MISSION STATEMENT: At VIA, we are more than just a place for sleeping and eating breakfast. We want you, the young professional, backpacker, and student to feel the rhythm of Positano. We want you to experience the movement that forms the heart of the city. So, we try to take you to Positano and bring Positano to you. Wondering hours in exploration via our suggestions can end with local-infused relaxation in our lounges. With local art in the galleries, local music in the yard, film screenings and invigorating lectures, life is always bustling at VIA. Join in the Movement. Join in the Life.
