[SITE ANALYSIS]
[BUILDING FORM CREATION]
Galesburg Public Library was a competition admisnistered by the client. OPN and several other teams were shortlisted to conceptually design a library that we think would benefit the community and the Galesburg public Library organization. This unique opportunity allowed us to express our design capabilities, and explore new processes as a studio. Because this was a design competition we wanted to go big or go home in terms of conceptuality. We decided to go big. We started by looking at the project at a global scale and how the library could make Galesburg a landmark and a destination point. We also looked at its community impact to schools in town and to the main street on which the site was located. Based on our analysis, we wanted to create a building that was transparent to the community, and acted as a becon or gateway for the city. Our design resulted in a simple skewed box, versatile in nature, but monumental in form and material. The additional green roof and plaza allowed for serious community incorperation.

Even though our design was more progressive than others in concept and presentation, we placed first runner-up. Through this experiecne, i learned to not only analyze the context and site but also the client as well. Our design was impressive and progressive, but it was not what the city was looking for. The winning design was a standard brick building with minimal glazing. While a frustrating result, I not only developed my conceptual design and visualization skills, but also learned the importance of knowing the client and the power of their influence.

Project description CRST Coperate high rise is OPN’s maiden voyage when it comes to highrises. During this project, I was able to understand design through precedent, design under a budget and learn how interact with clients while discussing design. I had the good fortune to be chosen to work on the conceptual design team. This encompassed quick design charrates, precedent studies and contextual analysis. While we came up with several good solutions responding to context, sustainability and community, I realized design would not be that easy. A three part barricade stood in the way of our ideal design: budget, client, and the city. Through the rest of the conceptual design, I was able to learn how to educate the client of a design without imposing our ideas upon them. I also understood that a good designer can design within a budget. When good design can happen within a restricted budget, the value of the architect will increase substantially.

[SITE ANALYSIS & BUILDING CONCEPT]
[ELEVATIONS AND SECTIONS]
Urban Visions is a prototypical project based over a highway. The site chosen could also be a prototypical site or one specific to a certain area. The site chosen for this project is specific. Located at Western Ave and I290, the high rise would act as a gateway to the city. In order to identify with the city, I used the idea of the city grid, specifically Chicago’s. Thus the idea of the vertical city grid was created. The specific site was chosen due to its proximity to Chicago, its accessibility of and on the highway, and its proximity to mass transit (CTA “L”). However the site was not pedestrian friendly. My goal is to therefore create green space on the ground level and also along Western Ave. to promote more pedestrian traffic in a safer environment.

This project is a comprehensive project, in which we must integrate life safety, HVAC, electrical, sustainable elements, ideas on structure, etc, into the design. While my building is conceptual in nature, I am still able to incorporate everything necessary in order to make this a safe, sustainable, and buildable building. Throughout this project, I began to understand all the different elements that must go into the building. I also began to learn how to bring conceptual design and work it into a realistic and buildable level, while still maintaining my original ideas. Overall this project prepared me for the reality of architecture and all that it involves.

[SITE ANALYSIS]
Project description The Chicago Community Wellness Center (CCWC) is a multi-purpose building meant to repair the damaged urban fabric in the area and provide services that are lacking. Located on Stoney Island Avenue this project has the opportunity to help create community by 1) providing activities for children and young adults to engage in, and 2) create a place of relief and regeneration through controlling views and creating green spaces.
Upon doing site analysis I came to the conclusion that I wanted to preserve the natural views and block out views to the street. The lack of natural vegetation along Stoney Island Avenue also made the integration of green space in and around the building important for the well-being of the occupants of the building. The north/south orientation also proved a problem in allowing day lighting. A courtyard is necessary to provide adequate lighting.
One of the main programmatic focuses of this project is the CCWC multipurpose theater. Because it is a multipurpose space, the study of acoustics was important to this project. Therefore I focused on the reverb times of the space, the specific shape of the space, and the materials chosen for the space. One major issue of this project was the site shape. The southern exposure to the site is very minimal, creating a lot of east/west heat gain. Throughout the project I focused on how to maximize southern exposure while also controlling east and west exposure.
[FLOOR PLANS]
site
This project helped me begin to understand two things about architecture. The first was how to integrate sustainable factors into the building, specifically natural day lighting and green spaces, and begin to move towards a zero energy building. The second was how to calculate and design for electrical lighting and acoustics, how the shape and material affects a space, and how specific uses control certain design factors pertaining to the two.

Project description
[sustainability factors and palazzo organization]
Located in Rome, Italy, Palazzo Della Rotunda is a mixed use education center used by students studying abroad. The goal of this three week charette is two fold. One, to design a palazzo that fits in with the context and does not compete with the contextual landmark that is the Pantheon. And two, to create a visible hierarchy both horizontally and vertically.
building section
While most buildings within the immediate context are traditional in nature, my partner and I wanted to create a building that was modern in material and in technology, while still maintaining a respect for its traditional character. Therefore the facade facing the piazza is very simple in nature while maintaining a sense of hierarchy, while the facade facing the alley and the courtyard are quite modern in nature, both materialistically, technologically and formally. A respect to the Pantheon also played a great deal in the influence in our design. First we wanted to show a respect to its antiquity and its place in the architectural world and second. We wanted to maximize views to the Pantheon especially in the dormitories and cafe areas. Because most visitors to the palazzo will be students, the view of the Pantheon to the students can be influential across many facets of education. Therefore the view to the Pantheon was very important to our design. Sustainably we knew that palazzos in the area that were built centuries ago were very good at controlling ventilation and day lighting passively. This palazzo, being built in a modern era, could not only look to the past for precedent but incorporate modern technology, such as stack ventilation and operable shading devices to control the elements.

[SITE ANALYSIS]
[FLOOR PLANS]
The Oak Park Public Market, because it is a market, is a great opportunity to create community. One way to create community is through connection, so I decided to focus on visual connection. If there is a visual connection to the market from multiple locations, different people will be drawn to the same location thus causing community. However, the form of the building must stand out enough as to cause visual interest to bring people to the area. Therefore I used sight lines to the building to directly create the form of my market.
1st floor crucial views
A secondary focus was the structure of the market. Because most of the contents within the market would be organic, including human occupants, I wanted to focus on a structure that was organic in nature. I drew influence from the dragonfly wing and the cell structure of a leaf. The organic structure then influenced the overall aesthetic of the building and created an organic feel to the building.

[SITE ANALYSIS]
[SITE SECTION AND IMAGREY]
Lindner Tower, which functions as a dormitory, faculty offices, and classrooms (among other things), is quite segregated from the rest of the campus. The routes to the tower are also circuitous and pointlessly long. The goal of the Lindner Connection is to not only create a direct connection via bridge, but also design the site in such a way to create better traffic flow, parking, and an opportunity to allow for two more dorms on campus. For the design of the site and of the bridge and dorms, I was influenced by the possibilities of direct connections and also preserving the visible connections from the tower. Creating new dorms and a bridge between the campus and the tower can create a physical connection but impede connection visually. Based on my visual connection diagram, I drew the forms of the site and dorms, and designed the bridge in such a way that the pedestrian would have to walk the shortest amount of distance while still connecting to the other two dorms.
RIVER ROAD VIEW
The redesign of the space between the two creates a stronger visual connection and a physical connection that was lacking before. The site redesign also allows for a better use of space which was previously a large open parking lot.

Jerry’s Cafe at Judson University is a redesign of a previous cafe which was not generating any business, The redesign allows for much more cafe area seating and also defines the space much better than the previous cafe. As a campus wide service, I and two other classmates not only completely designed the cafe area, but also selected and bought materials for the cafe and built it to completion. The cafe project gave me experience on the design and building process, specifically in the dealing of clients (the school), coworkers, building materials, and budget.
