My five years in the school of Architecture and Design at the University of Kansas have given me the tools to develop a deep understanding of architecture and design. Graduating with a Master of Architecture with an emphasis on historic preservation, I feel that I have both the knowledge and skills to transition into professional practice. I hope to deepen my knowledge and advance my skill set as I begin to transition away from university and into a professional career in architecture.

SOHRTO NEW HEIGHTS Sustainability of Human Rights Museum

SOHR-DALLAS, TEXAS

Winner: Outstanding Poster Presentation KU Undergraduate Research Symposium Year: First semester, 3rd Year Software Used: SketchUp, Lumion, Illustrator, Photoshop, AutoCAD, InDesign

Located in the Dallas arts district, the museum of human rights sculptural form suggest movement, tension and direction. The pyramidal mass of the body of the museum and the structural tension member point in opposing directions, leaving the viewer to interpret the two opposing directions that the museum is reaching towards. It allegorically showcases the tension felt between opposing forces as they struggle to gain traction and validity in the world. The forms point into the voids of the city, representing a pull towards openness and freedom. To access the museum, one must ascend a flight of stairs or elevator to reach a suspended bridge that leads into the entrance of the museum. Entering above ground gives people a sense of empowerment, leaving them impartial as they begin their experience into the museum. As one enters the museum, they encounter a vertical void that stretches up the entire height of the museum. As visitors move through the different gallery spaces, they must cross this void that represents oppression, confinement and powerlessness. Finally, after making their way through the exhibits, visitors reach the final gallery. Designed to look like a sacred space with dramatic natural light, the final gallery breaks the cold harshness of the previous galleries, overlooking the city of Dallas in an attempt to make hope visible.

The site is located above the highway on the north side of Klyde Warren Park in Dallas Art District. The site is situated above the 366 highway, which runs under Kylde Warren Park. The site is therefore an extension to the park the bridges the highway. Due to its location, the Museum functions as the gateway into the Arts District serving as a sculptural and cultural icon. The site is 180’ X 250’ above the highway and therefore must be structurally tied into the existing structure. Surrounding the site is the iconic architecture that promotes the expression of culture and art in the area. The SORH museum aims to aid in the promotion of art and culture in the Dallas Arts District.

BRIDGING THE DIVIDE To enter the building, one must bridge the divide between the opposing forces representing a shift in power. Being suspended off the ground, the entrance represents a shared middle ground, where one finds themselves at the center of two opposing powers.

“In a seemingly more divisive global climate than ever, many have felt their rights have been encroached upon.” The purpose of this Museum of the Sustainability of Human Rights is to make visible the effects our actions have on people in the world we all inhabit. Due to differing cultural, religious, or belief systems, many groups of people have been unfairly targeted and discriminated against. This project hopes to make these injustices felt and acknowledged as a means of uniting people together.

Van that would accommodate working and living became a reality. After countless hours of research, planning and preparation, I was slowly beginning to start on what was to become a life changing journey. With the purchase of a 1991 Chevy Astro Van, the dream of converting a van was quickly becoming a reality. With only 84,000 miles, this van was to become my vehicle of choice; van life or bust. In total, the astro van conversion would come to encompass a semester of hard work and planning but in the end would prove to be an invaluable learning experience.

Featuring large multi-use storage spaces both behind and bellow the couch, the van conversion offers plenty of space for various storage needs. Additional storage space is available in an overhead compartment. The couch folds out into a twin sized bed that can sleep two. The van itself features a mini-fridge, cooking/ vent fan, solar panels, a sink with gray and fresh water storage, cabinet and counter space and a roof storage rack. The interior walls of the van are wrapped in an 1” R-5 rigid board insulation which help to maintain the internal tempatures of the van. The van also features 4 LED lights, pull out tables and charging ports.

Along out seats, carpeting and other finished in order to make room for sound dampening mats, insulation and other improved finished. The van now features sound deadening mats to limit vibrations and noise within the interior of the vehicle. In addition, one inch R-5 rigid board insulation has been added to the floor deck, walls and ceiling. To seal the seems and joints, thermal tape has been added.

electrical components of the van converare all powered by two 100W Renogy r panels. The panels, which are mounted a custom roof rack, feed into a 40W solar troller that helps to regulate and maintain amount of power coming inti the system. solar controller then feeds into the alter-

nate battery which is a deep cycle 100 Ah high efficiency gel battery. This battery in turn holds and charges 12V energy depending on the current generated by the solar panels. Connected to a volt meter, the batter feeds to two bus bars that help to power and charge the remaining electrical components. 39

A S T R O VA N E X T E R I O R E L E VAT I O N Looking to the exterior of the van conversion, two custom roof racks were added to the roof of the vehicle. One of the racks is meant to hold additional storage while the other holds and mounts the solar panels to the roof. The exterior also features a vent fan to make it possible to cook in the interior of the van.

Weaver Recycled Birdhouse

American Kestral The American Kestral is Native to most of North America and will nest in grassland, woodlands or towns. The American Kestral population is currently in decline throughout North America and has seen significant habitat loss not uncommon to many other bird spices.

With extensive habitat loss as a result to agriculture, cities and other factors, birds throughout North America have seen extensive habitat loss. As a result there is huge loss in biodiversity with certain areas experiencing this loss more that others. The hopes of the Weaver Nest is to help restore biodiversity of regions that have seen a loss of bird populations through the construction of a recycled and interactive bird house. The Weaver Nest is interactive and allows people of all ages to enjoy a craft that will help to benefit the environment. Made from Recycled material, the Weaver Nest aims at creating a sustainable future where different species can coexist in harmony with one another.

Locate a cardboard box or cardDe board sheets to be used for the the construction of your birdhouse. The the 2. box should be at least 24”X12”X10”. If you have separate pieces skip to step 4.

Poke holes along the perimeter of the pieces 1/2” from the edges spacing every 1 inch. These holes will be used to weave the nest together

FLEX FORM STUDENT ART GALLERY

As the University of Kansas Architecture and Design school grows, more space is

needed to accommodate new students. Of the new spaces needed, one Important space is a designated area for students to display their work. The goal of this project was to create a student gallery for the students in the architecture and design school. This gallery was to sit just outside of Marvin Hall overlooking JayHawk Boulevard.

VANDARV EXPLAINED... SITE INTENTIONS

Upon examining the site, it was determined that a clear distance would be maintained from the adjacent buildings in order to provide clear access around the building. Additionally, it was decided that there will be water incorporated around the site, in order to directly relate to the center’s theme. Finally, two main entrances were identified, one from the city center (primarily for locals), and one from the busier H.C. Andersen street, providing access from the train stations and tourist attractions.

DIRECTED ENTRANCE

The lower lobby level was pushed in, to create a more dramatic cantilever of the upper levels, and placing emphasis on the main tourist entrance in order to encourage visitors to enter. Additionally, it provides more usable space on the site for additional program and social space.

PRIVATE + PUBLIC PROGRAMS

The project’s program was divided and stacked, separating the public spaces - the lobby and museum galleries, from the private areas - the offices and spa center. This organization allows for clear organization in spaces for locals and tourists, while maximizing space on the site. Moreover, the galleries are placed below ground to connect them to the city’s history of being built upon reclaimed land from the ocean, which will be reinforced with the site’s water feature.

DOUBLE STORY

The green roof above the lobby was raised in order to provide a more grand and open space as you enter the center. Furthermore, this raise brings the green roof into direct access from the spa level on the top, relating to the importance of nature in the swimming/sauna culture of Denmark and Scandinavia.

JOG | GREEN ROOF

TWIST | LANDMARK VIEWS

The private programmatic levels of the offices and spa were pushed towards the North in order to provide more southern exposure to those interior spaces, as well as to the green roof above. This green space would be valued in the densely urban site, while creating an additional social gathering space.

Twisting the office and spa levels achieves two goals. First, it allows for more direct southern exposure to the interior spaces, passively heating the during the areas during the normally cold Danish seasons. Secondly, this angle provides directed and intentional views to Tivoli to the west and Christiansborg Palace to the east. As such, the spaces become more connected with the city and its landmarks.

PUSH/PULL ROOF

The roof above the spa level was pulled in the south-western corner in order to provide more sun exposure to the pool space. Meanwhile, the opposite wing was pushed down to create lower ceiling heights in the sauna areas to optimize its heating performance.

SITE MOAT

Drawing from Copenhagen’s historic strategic moat, the site was pushed down to allow rain water to gather and create a dynamic water feature. This moat would provide a similar walking experience to the canals around the city, while also allowing for speckled, moving light to enter the galleries below.

Vandarv - Copenhagen, Denmark 73

CULTURAL TIES In an attempt to incorporate The Vandarv Center into Copenhagen’s culture, these elements were strategically added to the design. First, bike parking was included to accommodate the most popular, and sustainable, form of transporation in the city. The building’s structure was built upon piles, mirroring the city’s reinforcement of tree trunks below ground. Outdoor seating was provided to the cafe, to relate to the popular dining spaces of Nyhavn which also are located along the water’s edge. A green roof was developed to relate to the city’s growing push for sustainability, as well as the relationship between nature and swimming/sauna in Scandinavia. With that, a pool and a sauna were added to the program on the spa level, furthering the Danish culture and history of water. And lastly, a bar was included on the spa level, to further provide a space that is popular among locals, and creates a more multidimensional experience for tourists.

KAW PAVILION DESIGN BUILD TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE The Kaw Pavilion is named for the Kansas River – the watershed in which the pavilion resides – and draws inspiration from indigenous structures of the Kansas (Kaw) tribe, the first inhabitants of the region. All materials were recycled from waste streams or donated. The shade structure serves as outdoor classroom, meeting space for local groups, resting areas for Burroughs Creek Trail users, outdoor events, parental supervision of playground, etc. With Help from Westar Energy, the city of Lawrence and local residents, the Kaw Pavilion serves as a community hub giving Borrows Creek Park back to the community. The simple but beautiful design of the pavilion adds beauty to the area and a place for locals to congregate. Working with local master stone carver Carl Lambert, limestone boulders mark the entrance to the pavilion and line the rest of Borrows Creek Park Trail. The markers serve to showcase local wildlife native to the creek and act to serve as places for seating, learning and playing for the community.

Kaw Pavilion-Lawrence, Kansas

Donated Materials: Visiting the West Star Energy yard, we were able to find materials that West Star was willing to donate to us in order to construct the structure of the pavilion.

Construction: With a little help fro West Star Energy’s power line auger, we were able to install the recycled power line poles that comprise the super structure of the pavilion.

Responding to Site: The form of the pavilion reacts to the solar exposure of the site. With the largest facade of the structure on the south side, the facade sweeps across the south side in order to limit sun exposure under the structure.

Project Takes Flight: Once completed the Kaw Pavilion will serve as a local node for the community to gather and enjoy time together.

Structural Hierarchy The tarpapered power poles support steel angle and wood lateral spans that provide attachment points for several hundred 8” X 14” rolled street sign shingles. The tapered power poles are sunk 9’ into the ground to provide enough structural support for the pavilion. The lateral wood spans were cut to the proper radius to maintain an even curve to the surface of the pavilion. The tapered shingles offer refuge from the summer sun and wind allowing families and friends to enjoy their time at the Burroughs Creek Park.

“It serves as a rest stop, classroom, and meeting space on the Burroughs Creek Trail in East Lawrence and was created through all recycled and donated materials” With a zero dollar budget, the Kaw Pavilion was made possible by the donation of materials and work by local companies. With there help, we were able to source once discarded, scrap materials that now comprises of the Kaw Pavilion. Entirely recycled, the pavilion represents a shift in architecture showing the possibilities of recycled materials to build something new and beautiful. This project hopes to inspire others to think of their resource consumption and where materials are being sourced from.

Located in far eastern Kansas, the community of Lakin, Kansas has a disproportionate child to adult ratio as compared to the rest of Kansas. With an excess of children, the community suffers from lack of space and activities to keep the community engaged and excited. Lakin requested a space that would spark curiosity and imagination and function as an exploration center as well as a childcare center for the community. This center would host traveling museum exhibitions as well as hosts events within the community. With the program encompassing so many different needs, I wanted the project to become a place where people in the community could gather to spend time and enjoy company. Featuring a walkable sloped roof with garden space, the roof becomes engaging for the community. The building shifts from something static and morphs into a usable, tangible item. This, shared with a museum and Community space gives the town of Lakin a landmark.

Adopting the Vernacular:

Interior Courtyards:

Transitioning the vernacular:

Looking to the vernacular, most construction types in the area comprise of rectilinear forms for ease of construction and cost. Adopting the vernacular, the Encompass Center takes this initial form.

Breaking the vernacular box form, two interior courtyards cut through the form. These interior courtyards function as enclosed atrium s which allows natural light to penetrate into the building. This also affords the opportunity for planting native plant species as a means to teach visitors about the local species.

Transitioning from the rectilinear form of the Encompass Center, the rounded figure eight form allows for soft transitions through the interior of the building. The curves also offer a continuing changing perspective as one circulate through the building helping to kindle imagination and exploration.

Thank you for taking the time to look through my work from over the last 5 years at the University of Kansas’s School of Architecture and Design. The skills that I have gathered at KU will help me as I progress in a career in architecture. I hope to never stop learning and to apply the skill I have learned to a variety of project and topics. Thank you for your time.
