MOUNDVILLE PAVILION creating community gathering space within historic landscape LOCATION PROGRAM SEMESTER
Moundville, AL community pavilion thesis 2018-2020: team project
At its peak, Moundville Archaeological Park was once the site of a powerful prehistoric community that was America’s largest city north of Mexico. Today, the park preserves the 326 acres where 800 years ago, the Mississippian people constructed 29 flattop earth mounds that were used for ceremonial and civic purposes. The pavilion project is the first new structure to be built in the park since the 1970s and strives to provide a gathering space for the Native American and local community. team members: Lauren Ballard, Katie Cantine, Emily Lopez, Sarah Page

TRANSFORMATION OF PHYSICAL LANDSCAPE AND PROGRAMMATIC USE| Known as the “big apple of the Southeast,� Moundville was the largest settlement east of the Mississippi at its height. The mounds were created generationally and have ties to residential, religious, and civic use. Over time, the mounds have been preserved, and amenities have been added to service the park.

COMMUNITY SURVEY| A survey was conducted to explore the immediate community’s relationship to the park that revealed programmatic needs. demographics of people surveyed
demographics of Moundville
More than 50% of people said they use the park more than once a month

DESIGN PROCESS| Throughout the design process, the team met with the community and clients, along with design and structural consultants.

Fall 2018-2020
Design goals consist of a folded plane that meets spatial needs and an inverted folded plane that meets practical needs. One draws people in, provides an area of rest, and then sends them out, while the other diverges rain and debris. To achieve this form, trusses are placed on a diagonal within the rectangular footprint.

TESTING SCALED ARCHITECTURE| To test the structural system, the required loads were identified and translated to be implemented onto a scaled model. After gaining intuitive knowledge of the system, the structure was tested in a more conventional manner using an EnerCalc model (structural engineering software). “It’s not building models. It’s small architecture.” —Anderson Inge

CONNECTING TO THE GROUND| Many methods were used to design details such as the column’s connection to the ground, such as hand sketching, AutoCAD drawings, and 1:1 mockups. The resulting design responds to its context of an active archaeological site by being both figuratively delicate and low impact.

SPATIAL TRANSITIONS THROUGH SITE| The resulting space provides respite for all park visitors. They gather under the pavilion to reflect on the park’s history and monumentality while also being encouraged to explore the forest edge.
OPERATIVE CONDITIONS transition toward architectural thinking: space in terms of conditions foundation studio | ink on cold-press arches | museum board models
Working iteratively, each condition is created by an outside operation upon a form. Each iteration compounds upon the last, creating complex, occupiable space. The final iteration, “fracture,” to create an “outdoor room,” focuses on the juxtaposition of rectilinear and fractal spaces.

ACTIVATED EDGES linking guests and community through dynamic edges by utilizing existing program LOCATION PROGRAM SEMESTER
Auburn, AL boutique hotel fall second year
As a college town, Auburn Alabama predominantly services the University and its guests while providing limited urban activity. Activated Edges studies how hotels can contribute to urban activation through the organization of program and the capturing of exterior space.

SPATIAL ANALYSIS architectural analysis through observation and experience rome studio + independent study | A3 sketchbook
An exploration of urban typology in Rome was conducted through involvement, design, and documentation. Each investigation was created to explore the historical, experimental, and spatial qualities of the architecture, while the blending of drawing types captures multiple experiences. “We do not create the work. I believe we, in fact, are discoverers.” – Glenn Murcutt
LAYERING CIRCULATION master plan of EUR connects scales and circulation patterns rome studio | team project | independent representation
While studying Rome’s many palimpsests, students designed a proposal for activating the EUR, a neighborhood initially developed under Mussolini for the 1942 World’s Fair. The original design intent results in monumental spaces that are not comfortable or traversable at human scale. The project layers transportation methods while introducing a new scale of vitality to the area by not celebrating its history, but utilizing it as built space. team members: Sarah Piel, Sierra Holder, Sarah Page

JOHNNIE MAE’S HOME iteration of Rural Studio’s Front Porch Initiative LOCATION PROGRAM SEMESTER
Faunsdale, AL 20K home, affordable housing fall third year, studio team
As a segment within a series of studies, 20K home version 23 explores how a residence can provide income using an additional semidetached space. A third-year student studio was tasked with taking the design of version 20 and adapting it to become Johnnie Mae’s Home. The team was challenged to solve problems involving egress and siting. “A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.” —Louis Kahn

AFFORDABILITY | The additional unit is separated from the rest of the house by a dogtrot porch to allow multiple uses. To increase the home’s economic potential, the space can be used as a home office, an additional resident, or a tenant space to be rented. The design responds to the low median family income and high poverty rate in the context of the home.
United Sates of America Median Family Income: $52k Poverty Rate: 14.5%
Alabama Median Family Income: $43k Poverty Rate: 24.5%

Chair Seat
study of woodworking and replication rual studio woodshop course| teammate: Jacob Elbrecht
To acquire woodworking skills and study the design of a historic object, students with no previous experience were tasked with replicating several chairs designed by well-known architects through research and critical thinking. Standard Chair no. 4 was designed by Jean Prouve in 1942 during the steel shortage of World War II. This new iteration used only mortise and tenon joinery to replicate the previously welded steel. The replication required an advanced study of fine joinery and plywood steaming.

URBAN INFILL
connecting live + work spaces through acquisition of light LOCATION PROGRAM SEMESTER
Auburn, AL mixed media print shop fall second year
The Printshop is a live and work space that continues the street edge in downtown Auburn Alabama. The retail space organization is specific to the function of a print shop yet maintains the flexibility to accommodate any future changes in program. The residential unit above has exterior connections to the street edge in the front and the alley in the back so the user can participate in vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

PEDESTRIAN OVERFLOW activating “leftover” sub-urban spaces uitilizing hardscape and vegetation research symposium | model with digital overlay | perspective sketches
While pedestrian circulation on Auburn’s campus is highly developed, only a small portion of downtown is walkable. This project extends the existing system into the city by pairing pedestrian-oriented spaces with back of house services allowing them to be utilized differently based on time of day and event needs.

CENTER ON THE EDGE relating scales to re-densify an urban landscape LOCATION PROGRAM SEMESTER
Mobile, AL multi-family, mixed use fall fourth year
Reintroducing density in an urban area requires intervention at multiple scales. Through the design of a master plan in Mobile, Alabama, a site was selected to serve as a synthetic gesture that initiates additional development in the area. The mixed-use residential project creates a new urban center along the edge of downtown. The form was pulled back from the property line to provide a public plaza off of the grocery and retail entrances to promote community activation.

Architecture is the mindful design of everyday spaces that elevate the human experience. Its careful consideration of context creates a platform for exploring possibilities while merging the artistic goals with the physical demands. “The meaning resides in one’s own experience, making the everyday the exceptional.” —Samuel Mockbee
