02 Design Duluth: Engaging Morgan Park. West Duluth, Minnesota. Graduate Architectural Design V. 3 months. University of Minnesota. 2017. Group Project.
This proposal is a three-person interdisciplinary group effort. Other group members include Danila Duque (Landscape Architecture) and Goldielyn Lopez (Architecture). The project is focused on Morgan Park, a secluded factory town for U.S. Steel, in the western half of the 27-mile stretch that is Duluth, Minnesota. The proposal leans into the outdoor recreational future of Duluth with focus on the St. Louis River as a city amenity. The project focuses on industrial systems of manufacture and takes cues of post-industrial Duluth into the identity of a community.

This proposal was developed as a cooperative studio effort under University of Minnesota professor Jacob Mans. The proposal is for mobile learning kiosks for educational programs at Anoka County State Parks. The project focuses on different types of wood construction respective to evolving methods and modularity within the development of this kiosk typology. My involvement was specifically in the design and presentation drawings for the design stage of the kiosks. I am personally responsible for all drawings shown.
