the library: a community endeavor to connect
the project
ARCH4216: Comprehensive Design OSU School of Architecture. Duration: [12 weeks] 2015. Associate Professor Stivers OKC Uptown Library In Oklahoma City, NW 23rd St. Modeling Software: Revit & Rhino.
the challenge
To design a library within the developing area of Uptown, Oklahoma City. The area has shops, a theater, restaurants, offices, and new residential development, and it is expected that these uses will attract users to the library. The design of a library requires to balance efficiency with special, refined, and variously scaled spaces.
Express the outdoor gathering spaces to attract visitors. Designate a space for quiet reading. This spaces represents the classic library.
The structure around the classic library hosts the modern functions and aims invite patrons to the library’s shop.
it’s all about connections.

To respect the modern and classical ideals of what a library “should� be. To celebrate the structure and mechanical systems to guide the planning. To respond to the context in both planning and material choice. To connect to future development to create opportunity for growth. To create a variety of spaces of different scales to differentiate rest spaces and circulation spaces. To celebrate movement.

the brewery academy: a mixed-use development
the project
ARCH4116: Design Studio VI OSU School of Architecture. Duration: [3 weeks] 2014. Associate Professor Rodriguez Bricktown Brewery Academy In Bricktown, Oklahoma City. Modeling Software: Revit.
the challenge
To design a brewery academy at the heart of Bricktown, OKC. The Brewery Academy must serve as a retail hub for the production and promotion of freshly brewed beer in the vicinity of the city’s main congregation spaces as are the Baseball stadium, right across the street, and the Myriad Gardens.
the concept
The Bricktown Brewery Academy is a mix-used facility in an historical district in downtown OKC. As such, a main goal throughout the development of the project was to express each use (industrial, retail, housing) externally. This was achieved by pulling and pushing masses to create a hierarchy of spaces on the outside. In the interior of the building, it was particularly important to celebrate the education and brewery connection and have them communicate with each other vertically and horizontally. This was achieved by pulling the circulation to the perimeter of the building, as to be able to overlook the brewery from any given public space above it.

USPS site development in Portland: the pearl district
the project
ARCH5117: Urban Design OSU School of Architecture. Duration: [5 weeks] 2015. Prof. Richardson and Prof. Williams USPS Site Development Urban Design: Public Space. Portland, OR. Modeling Software: Rhino.
the challenge
To design the master plan for the replacement of the USPS facilities, as well as adjacent study areas, within the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon. As a part of the project challenge the team was asked to propose a program for the area as well as the general image to be achieved by the space as it develops in the future. This project was presented to the firm commissioned to do this project: ZGF in Portland as the project qualified among the most successful ones within the class.

transportation the Green Loop The green loop is a green movement started in the city of Portland to create a green parkway connection throughout the entire city. One of the main reasons the Portland Development Commission wishes to buy and relocate the USPS building on site is to continue this green path.
Key reasons for dropping the green loop: To increase total retail square footage on site. To connect to the water front more smoothly. To create shared rest spaces. To orient the building courtyards towards the green loop. These courtyards are designed to integrate the green loop to the pedestrian.

east west section The Green Belt, or green loop, acts as an interface for shops, restaurants and various retail venues. Green pockets penetrate the residential blocks to create a place of rest and recreation that interacts with the green loop. Pedestrian and vehicles can circulate freely about the site while the lower level remains open for recreation, shopping and community activities.

the Highlights: Museums and Art Institutions
The current modern museum of art in Portland is a decaying facility, to solve this issue and glorify the arts this new facility was proposed. The current arts school was preserved as it is a beautiful building and one belonging to the landmark category.
Farmer’s Market
The re-purposing of the current Union Station to serve as the new venue for Saturday Farmer’s Markets for the city of Portland.
New Transportation Hub
As the Old Union Station is re-purposed to serve the farmer’s market in Portland, a new modern transportation hub is built. This new hub not only serves trains, as the Union Station did, it also encompasses bus, street car and taxi services.

the development of three city blocks in portland
the project
ARCH5117: Urban Design: Massing Schematics OSU School of Architecture. Duration: [2 weeks] 2015. Prof. Richardson and Prof. Williams Portland: Economic District Development Portland, Oregon. Modeling Software: Revit & Rhino.
the challenge
To study the downtown economic district of Portland and propose a program to enhance the culture within this economic district. The economic district of Portland is known for its transparent retail street fronts and its plazas in which people reunite to share foods from all over the world. This district is however lacking housing as all members of the working class that keep the district alive have to commute over an hour everyday. This proposal attempts to start a movement to solve this problem.

Existing Buildings on Site
As a part of the sustainable movement for a greener city Portland encourages the recycling of existing buildings when possible. In this case, the existing Nordstrom’s building served as the house for the new Portland Made.
Responding to Sun Conditions
As the site is not exactly perpendicular to true north, the south east facades of the building shift to receive as much sunlight throughout the day as possible.
Maximum Heights
Housing: 450’ Sustainability: 450’ Portland Made:
250’-125’
Sustainable Design
The addition of vertical farms, which also serve as shading devices to the west, and a large screen system through the height of the residential tower to respond to a similar sun angle issue.
Chosen Heights
Housing: 580’ Sustainability: 225’ Portland Made:
180’
Promenade
A promenade, or horizontal connection, to integrate all components of the complex.
Systems/Support
Most of the support (mechanical, sustainable, and conveying systems) are placed on the north edge to create a clear opened facade.

As a part of the School of Architecture at Oklahoma State University mission to educate students in the principles of design experience through travel is an opportunity to be taking during the completion of the Bachelors of Architecture degree. The chance to travel throughout Europe’s most iconic cities to experience the cutting edge buildings being developed in the area is an invaluable tool when understanding scale and space. To document this process journaling and sketching are important skills to develop.
