Academy of MusicARC 652 | spring 2014 | 11 weeks

This studio gave each student the freedom to study and design a building type of their own interest. Our site was located near Paulina station in Chicago with a choice of 6 given areas where we essentially designed an urban infill. I was interested in performing arts buildings, and decided to design a building program that included both a concert hall as well as a place for students to learn music. The site I chose was nearest to the most active area of the neighborhood. It was important for the building to be in clear view of the public and would externally be designed in a way that reaches out to the community. I found inspiration in concert hall precedents that were able to make a visual connection to their surroundings in the performance space. With music being a less visually focused performing art I designed a performance space that would allow the audience to see the vibrant and active neighborhood. This was achieved by framing a view through a large window which would become the backdrop of the performance platform. This idea was executed by designing a simple rectangular shaped hall elevated and aligned with the angle of Roscoe St., which administers the best view down Lincoln Ave. The interior of the concert hall is arranged to be subtly rotated enforcing the favored view down the street. The remaining portions of the building’s facade follow the street lines making the concert hall an impactful piece to the exterior which in turn would be a way of drawing the public in.

Community Outreach ClinicARC 575 | fall 2013 | 14 weeks

Community Outreach is a design studio with a focus on non-profit and mission based architecture. Our program was based around six different sites that were in need of this type of work. As a class we were able to create a systematic approach in our designs for each of our building types. This system was created to theoretically make it easier for the client to have a voice in the design of their building. The climate of the site, the form of the building, and the construction matrix was a three-step system our class created for determining the design of our buildings. Part of the assignment also required us to derive our building concepts from a Bible verse, further enhancing a more missions based project. My building type was a small clinic in Filadelfia, Costa Rica. Many design features were based upon Filadelfia’s tropical climate, its criminally active context, and their material availability. Filadelfia is known for its rich vegetation as well as its direct access to the Tempisque River, which typically floods in the September, October months

Conceptual Development

construction matrix

Concept Statement:

A modular building that is interrupted with forces that work against it’s grid-like order. These forces will hold the building together and unify its pieces.

Bible Verse:

15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Urban Development

ARC 651 | summer 2013 | 5 weeks

In this urbanism studio our final project was located in the tight-knit community of Monroe, Wisconsin. The purpose of this project was to encourage more growth and easier pedestrian access within the city’s downtown area. By conducting two different site visits our class was able to identify the problem areas of downtown Monroe through observation as well as doing morphology studies. These areas interfered with the walk-ability and access to downtown for both locals and visitors. This urban development project focused in on a three block radius surrounding the center of downtown Monroe. As a class we allocated the city into six different pieces to focus our attention on each development. The development process was given a 50 year span consisting of 5 phases. I worked on developing a portion surrounding 9th st., North of the city square and the existing library. In addition to this I conducted a transect study representing before and after the urban development specifically looking at the transition between the T3 to T5 zones. This study also established the “gaps” in the existing urban fabric which contributed to the impediment city dwellers outside the square have from walking and biking to their destinations. Our third site visit consisted of our class presenting these suggestions to a group of people from various positions in Monroe including local architects to real estate agents, who in return gave us their feedback.

• pop-up shops replaced by fixed shops/restaurants• library addition built to front 16th ave.

• demo and rebuild exist library matching the architectural style of downtown Monroe• center alleyway on library block restored• entry point to library parking relocated

Transect Study:

The goal of this study was to show how the existing transect would be impacted by the changes made over a span of 50 years. By filling in the “gaps” from the existing master plan there are smoother transitions between T-zones making the center of town more pedestrian friendly and potentially would help the city of Monroe flourish.

EDC ARC 600 | fall 2013 | 4 weeks

This Full-scale Small-scale studio assignment was to design a piece that would hold our every day carry (EDC). Our designs were only to be constructed of concrete, sheet metal, bent wood, or a combination of these materials. I designed a piece that reflected my EDC, which is generally heavy from day-to-day, by counterbalancing it. The concept of lightness was the driving point of my design decisions. By choosing sheet metal and concrete I created a piece that makes my EDC look much lighter in actuality. The thin, light appearance of sheet metal anchored to the 2” thick concrete block connected by embedded threaded metal rods is slightly lifted off the floor to look as if it is floating. These materials simplistically compliment each other in this “light” concept.

Cadence Health Medical Office Building

PPK Architects | summer 2012

Architect: Craig Pryde

This project provided me the experience of working on a healthcare building. Going into this project during the construction document phase showed me the pieces involved in a completed drawing set. Working on different floor plans in AutoCAD contributed to my experience in collaborating x-refs typical to medium/large projects. Representing all of the interior material finishes on this project has helped build my organizational skills and further sharpened my eye for details.

Tasks:

• Designing and preparing the material finishes board for client presentation

• Sitting in on the contractor bid meeting

• CD. -Drafting layout of material finishes on floor plans in AutoCAD -Picking up redlines on floor plans and elevations
