“The Living Building Challenge is the built environment’s most rigorous performance standard. It calls for the creation of building projects at all scales that operate as cleanly, beautifully and efficiently as nature’s architecture.” - International Living Future Institute
The proposed project is a new living and learning center for the University of Kansas and to continue the conversation of sustainable buildings on the campus. The KU Center for Sustainability and Environmental Studies will be a research facility for the Department for Environmental Studies, an exemplary model of a “Net-Zero” energy and water, and a hub for creative solutions in regards to sustainability and the built environment. A close eye will be on the two most rigorous building types known in the realm of the built environment. The two building types are Living Building and Living Machines. The two types are similar in name and similar in aim - to tread as lightly as possible on the earth. Through the process of the project will study examples of both Living Buildings and Living Machines The KU Center for Sustainability and Environmental Studies will take cues from the plant life it houses. The new learning center must produce and store all of the energy necessary for the center on a daily basis. It will also have to deal with the waste from the daily users and also the visitors. The building must also take into consideration a multitude of factors to assist in functioning like a plant.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY I believe that architecture can be a mechanism for social change Architecture has the ability to bring people together. These ideals also carry over regarding environmental stewardship. I am also a firm believer in understanding the space from human needs, energy issues, and efficiency of construction methods. Architecture is for people, so the function of the building must take precedence. I believe that the form of the building should take shape from the climatic impositions, and the spatial needs of the interior of the building. Great architecture can evolve from the given parameters set forth by nature while attending to aspects of space and light. As architects we are major factors in the building industry and are constantly in the realm of the built environment. Thus, we have a duty to design buildings that are in tune with their surroundings, that tread lightly on the earth. We must be the voice of social change. -Andrew Forney
.
I believe that architecture is a vehicle for transformation that goes beyond the physical, to a timeless and boundless space, elevating and alleviating the mind from the trivial aspects of human existence. design changes the way one sees the world, allowing one to absorb the beauty of their surroundings and thus transforming and enhancing the human experience. It is this challenge and opportunity that drives my passion and aspiration to creating meaningful architecture. -Dan Brown
Architecture is the intersection between the natural world and the human experience. It is at this crossroads that architects have the opportunity to shape a world that encourages social change and enhances the human experience by recognizing the positive experience of natural systems in our buildings. Architecture is about humanity’s place in nature, and nature’s place in human society, where mutual respect, and enriching relationships can exist at all levels. - Pia Westen
A building should cater to the people and the program that it is created for. Buildings are created for people. I believe that a building tells a story. The story can be the design process or a navigating through building itself. The story can be the connections of a building or a construction of the building. I think that the world needs to be sustainable in the world. We need to find alternative resources for us to grow and spend less of the natural resources that are going extinct. A building should be the extension to people’s everyday lives. The purpose of making a living building is to coexist with society. The idea of a smart ,fully sustainable building is a story of itself. This living building is giving back to the world while it is taking in the minimum that it needs to function. I think a building can bring people together, A successful building to me is the story of a building that brings people closer together. - Dave Tran

DESIGN INTENT
The design intent of this project is based upon the design of an institutional building that will act as a beacon through the transition and implementation of the master plan at the University of Kansas. This building will act as the main locations for both the center for sustainability as well as environmental design. The design will incorporate a level of representation and explanation through syntactical means, informing the users of its functionality and purpose. The L.I.F.E. (living institution of functioning ecologies) Laboratory will act as an anchor for innovation way and the development of all future projects at KU. Throughout the design process, close attention shall be placed upon the required programmatic
3
distribution of spaces in association with academic needs and functionality. This relationship will not only influence the formal expression of the architecture, it will more importantly influence the interstitial connectivity with the building as a system. As the project is intended to serve as an example of future higher education institutional buildings in terms of its programming and design, it shall also serve as an example of elegant passive design and its role moving forward. Through the rational outlined within the University of Kansas Campus Sustainability Plan (ukcsp), the building should respond by placing focus upon the factors outlined within the Executive Summary (ukcsp- pg. 11).

In order to meet the clients’ needs, we placed functional outdoor spaces adjacent to indoor learning spaces on every level. Every programmed space within our building maintains a visual connection with the outdoors, allowing the occupants to interact with nature at all levels. Additionally, the outdoor spaces available are designed to promote learning, as well as let occupants and passersby interact with the living machine

systems as closely as possible. In order to allow the interdisciplinary interaction the client desired between faculty, staff, and students, all break-out spaces are located at the threshold between the administrative and educational sides of the building. Additionally, main circulation paths pass through these spaces, activating them with frequent foot traffic, while the proximity to the interior lagoon makes them some of the most desirable real estate in the building. In order to promote interaction between departments on the administrative side, all offices, including the hoteling space, are located on the same level in close proximity so that interaction becomes natural.

CONTEXT
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MASTER PLAN
Located close to the centroid of the University of Kansas, the KU Center for Sustainability and Environmental Studies will provide students and visitors a view of the future of the built environment. This center will adhere to the stringent guidelines of the Living Building Challenge. Living Building Challenge requires a shift in thinking about the way we engage a site from the early stages of design to the day to day use of the building. It requires a deeper understanding of climate, culture and place. This project will classify under the L3 Living Transect Category. This category (Village or Campus Zone is comprised of relatively low-density mixed-use development found in rural villages and towns, and may also include college or university campuses.

TYSON LIVING LEARNING CENTER | HELLMUTH + BICKNESE ARCHITECTS | EUREKA, MO
The mission at the Tyson Research Center is to provide an educational tool for Washington University’s International Center for Advanced Renewal Energy and Sustainability. The Living Building exists in a duality for environmental research at a fullscale experimental venue for observing and studying ecosystems. It consists of a 2,000 acre outdoor laboratory that fosters research from students at Washington University, other nearby institutions, and the general public. A degrading, existing parking lot has been transformed into an educational facility while restoring the existing habitat as well. The Tyson Research Center was designed to be both an indoor and outdoor research facility. This lends to utilizing natural ventilation that occurs when weather permits.

A rainwater harvesting system is essential to provide adequate amount of water needed. The center eliminates wasteful by utilizing the on-site gardens as a greywater filtration system, and composting toilets for blackwater. Energy is incorporated in the Living Building Challenge. The Tyson Research Center minimized the amount of energy the building would consume, and provide on-site renewable energy. All energy necessary for all building functions is provided photovoltaic panels mounted both on the roof and on two tracking systems. The Tyson Research Center is a great example of re-using a dilapidated site and transforming it into a regenerative building that brings both life to the site and educates for future endeavors of this nature.

FINAL TAKE
Their reaction to our design was wanting more, THEY WANTED US TO PUSH THE INNOVATION DESIGN FURTHER. One review suggested if we are showcasing this magnificent feature of a living machine ,an idea that the campus will never seen before adapted to their buildings, that we should incorporate even more newer technology ,and think of bigger innovations to include to the design. A couple recommendations included the use of geothermal heating and cooling, Geo wrapping for the foundation footing and installing high r-value glass panels for our curtain-walls. If we had further explore and further flushed out the design, we believe would have applied such ideas, but do to time restrains our focus turned to the eager to understand the detailing. Trying to figure out the simple structure and components of a building we defaulted to a simple building. Another comment of the reviewers were the questioning of our site itself and will our methods succeed in this type of environment. With natural ventilation we have a duality of active and passive systems, but only the passive would work in a couple months out of the year in Kansas weather. The problem with how to deal with condensation and humidity in our design, was at question in our review. Another comment was the idea of drainage. Where and how would the water flow down to our building. We did
not clearly demonstrate our tapered system. The green roof would have absorb some water but there should still be so sloping on the structure of the green roof. Another reviewer wondered if we made the interaction between the interior and exterior a little too artificial. In our interior, we have views outside, but the main interior was closed off. It is like teasing the people inside with the idea of being outside but you are denied access to leave. There were no physical connection, no other senses, except the eye , that connects the outside from within. In order for this building to exist in this campus,an educational institution, is if the surround buildings and area would benefit from this building. We should act as if this building is an example of model for other living buildings to be placed around campus. INSTEAD OF BEING A SELF EFFICIENT BUILDING IT SHOULD INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS SURROUND. At the end of the day, they enjoyed our project. They understood that we looked really deep and tried to understand how all of the component of this building can be built. The material selection was great and we were slacking in the exploration of innovation, but in order to explore we wanted to understand all the make up that goes into a building, that is why we focused on the details. There are many things we can improve on , things we can incorporate in our project.. But completely understanding and working on the details of our dreamt building as a team, we feel it is the greatest learning experience that we can have.
