*Nominated for Super Jury ‘19 The convergence of the Milwaukee Public Museum and Betty Brinn Children’s Museum provided opportunities to connect youth and community members of all ages with Wisconsin’s natural environment. Establishing local networks and creating a facility that doubles as a recreation hub and education center allowed us to amplify these connections through architecture.

Sebastian Schmaling_Brian Johnsen Built to serve as a construction trailer, this linear shelter is to be repurposed as a welcome center for the Milwaukee Central Mosque. The wooden veil provides elegant lighting effects by controlling the expansion and contraction of apertures. These apertures create views and provide privacy as determined by the corresponding program.

Re-imagining the mosque in a western, urban context provides new opportunities for deviations from traditional developments. The facade system incorporates both homogeneous and layered veils. Thinly sliced alabaster transforms the building as day turns to night while wooden slats provide both apertures and privacy.

Kyle Talbott *Nominated for Super Jury ‘16 The goal of a “wellness center” should be to provide well-being for the community members it serves. It is scientifically understood that well-being is comprised of two components; a healthy mind and a healthy body. However, we typically see wellness centers defined as “recreation centers” and primarily focusing on the body. This project seeks to bring balance by equally distributing program between mind and body. Features include a rock wall, fitness center, yoga studio and meditation retreat center.

Imperveous The annual ULI Hines Student Competition is a two week competition which Surface aims to find solutions to real problems in cities across North America. The 2017 selected city was Toronto. The problem was a small parcel of land completely cut off from surrounding developments by railway, highway and river. Our solution involved creating connections through the site and developing a flourishing culture which embraces Toronto’s thriving art community and capitalizes on the adjacent 13M sq. ft. retail development.

*Nominated for Presentation at Chicago AIA Student Design Awards Concrete Ribbon breaks down conventional views of “Light” and “Heavy” materials. By minimizing structure and creating a series of folded planes, the site-cast concrete shell is seen as an impossibly light, floating plane above the river-walk. Contrastingly, polycarbonate is used to create a heavy, glowing, mass within the building. The landscaping and carefully controlled combination of materials create the effect of a ribbon flowing through the site.

Alexander Timmer Partners Final Build was Class Effort
*Chosen by Class to Build Passive environmental design strategies have the ability to produce microclimates. To gain control over the performance and shaping of these microclimates each student was asked to design a wooden screen to provide privacy at an outdoor event space in Sheboygan, WI. My design uses the width of wooden slats to control the amount of light being admitted in specific areas throughout the year based on the sun’s altitude. Strategic narrowing and widening of the slats creates microclimates around benches in controlled areas. The design allows light and warmth to pass through during cooler months and provides shaded areas during the summer months. The city intends to build the screen this summer.

Nikole Bouchard (Chair)_Kyle Reynolds_ Sebastian Schmaling Establishing a human presence on other planetary bodies will not only push our technology and scientific knowledge to new levels but will also be essential for the long term survival of our species. Doing this will require the utilization of extraterrestrial natural resources, both in terms of cost efficiency and in effort to protect these environments from being subjected to the mistakes humans have made on Earth. Mars will be the first extraterrestrial body on which a human presence is established and there has been a tremendous effort by space agencies to develop shelters that utilize natural resources on the planet. Unfortunately the issue of radiation has limited proposals to dark confined spaces with thick walls of martian soil. “Making Space” aims to identify transparent materials available on mars and use them to develop living spaces that transmit similar levels of natural light as on Earth.

st project of the semester we were asked n area of the body and design a piece of responds to that area and its movements.
This ceiling installation was designed for noise control in the SARUP commons. Several aperatures allow for light to pass through the panel and provide views from the second floor.
