1 D OW NTOW N R EV ITAL IZ ATIO N b ro a d h e a d , k e n t u ck y Towns with rich historical backgrounds have potential to create meaningful spaces that can bring people together and also revitalize a desperate economy. With Brodhead, Kentucky’s downtown district being rich in history with the abandoned railroad and rail depot, there is potential to create a revitalized district saturated with historic meaning.
flood zone
Brodhead’s new downtown plan looks to enhance their desperate economy through proposed mixed-use infill buildings, a new streetscape, community gardens, a community park, multi-use trails, and a new event schedule. My team created a proposal booklet for Brodhead which includes, land use recommendations, trails and trail connections, downtown revitalization, and festival tourism. The final proposal can be seen at:

Through this design, music, the universal language, will unite the racial divide that existed within the Pruitt-Igoe complex.
The old segregation line now unites PruittIgoe through a memorial walk with flowing informational walls.

The shelter includes covered and non-covered seating, integrated and covered bicycle parking, stormwater planters, and a green roof. The materials that were chosen for the shelter include; corten steel, stainless steel, wood, and glass. The concept for this design was to create a garden oasis to promote the use of public transit.

Sound Art Winery began with studying viniculture (growing grapes for wine making). After gaining knowledge about slopes, hydrology and orientation in relation to vineyards, deciding on program elements that would benefit the winery functionally and monetarily, and providing inventory and analysis of the site, design began.
native grasses add interest and guide users between the three buildings
The amphitheater was placed within the natural topography and oriented to display the backdrop of a dynamic stream valley surrounded by a natural forest, while the building complex was placed at the highest elevation on site, showing off the natural rolling hills of the Kentucky Bluegrass region. The production facility was placed closer to the vineyard but still adjacent to the building complex to allow for tours but to also keep the functionality of being close to the grapes.

groundcover plantings and trees create spaces to place sculptures and frame the lowered intimate sculpture area shown in the background This downtown revitalization master plan was for the city of Millersburg, Kentucky. To kick-off the design process, our studio oversaw a town meeting and charrette to gather the communities ideas and desires for their downtown spaces. These ideas were then synthesized to create a program. Each student’s design was later presented to the community.
the redesigned town square provides a large central gathering space for special events
The plan includes a redesigned town square, a sculpture garden, and a new streetscape. The town square uses a circular walkway to create a strong center space for town activity, while the sculpture garden provides seating areas and visiting artist housing, arranged to give the visitor a feeling of exploration. The streetscape uses trees to create a buffer from the street while each corner uses “bump-outs” to create shorter crosswalk distances for pedestrians.

Student groups addressed an abandoned railroad spur that was to become a “front door” to campus through a new road extension. The abandoned spur was unable to accommodate increased foot/bicycle traffic and was an unattractive campus entrance. Our group solved the design problem by creating an open space that allows for through-traffic as well as creates spaces for “off-path” experiences. By using corten steel, native vegetation and strong architecture elements, the design pays homage to the sites industrial past.

8 H YDR OTHER APY CENTER l ex i n g t o n , k e n t u ck y The University of Kentucky Hydrotherapy Center was designed for a 5th year construction document studio. The site program included a building, ten parking spaces, an olympic sized lap pool, zeroentry aqua jogging pool, children’s pool, sand play area, a jogging path and a detention area. The site grading concept was to represent the movement of water through the use of architecturalized berms and meandering retention pools.

While there, I experienced living in a new city and had the opportunity to explore the vibrant culture that Portland, Oregon has to offer. I also significantly expanded my AutoCAD skills and was given the opportunity to create plan and perspective renderings used for client meetings, as well as sections and construction drawings (grading, materials, layout, and planting plans) that will be used for construction purposes.

10 DESIGN WO R KSH O P a s p e n , co l o r a d o During the winter of 2012, I completed an internship in the Aspen office of Design Workshop. This experience helped me grow as a professional through interaction with co-workers and completing multiple projects assigned to me. While in Aspen, I organized a conceptual design booklet for a client and completed AutoCad drawings and plan renderings for a streetscape project in Great Falls, Montana. However, my biggest responsibility was formatting and organizing a design standards book that explains the design process from pre-design through the construction documents phase.
Three streetscape design options were provided to the client in Great Falls for review. One option provides angled parking on one side of the street but no bicycle lane. The other two options provides parallel parking and two different forms of bicycle lanes (cycle track and typical striped bicycle lane).
