WILCOX MUSEUMWilcox Collection Museum Located in Marvin Grove at The Univer-sity of Kansas.

Michael’s main objective of this project was to create a museum that could house this statue collection with an understanding of sustain-able design. Another objective was to create a museum that could be experienced by people before, during, and after open hours of the museum. Some of the collection is still on exhibit in the ‘window stalls’ created for the collection, and is lite at night.

Wilcox Musuem Louver System-Open Wilcox Musuem Louver System-Closed

This is a study Michael made of a double skin facade system that the museum contained. The louvers would open and close depending on the time of day and the amount of light, to re-duce the amount of direct sunlight on the art work.

The front louvers, depicted above, open and close. When the louvers open in the front it creates a natural air ventila-tion system. This diagram was made in a program called vasari, another pro-gram Michael understands how to use.

VENICE MULTIPURPOSE COMPLEX

The main goal for this project was to create a multipurpose building in venice that provided roof access as well as two observation towers, one on land and at sea. The project housed spaces for a theater, art gallery, cafe, obser-vation towers, catering space, and a catering kitchen.

PROGRAMATIC DIAGRAMSMichael used these unique diagrams to explain the location of the different programs that the Venice complex contained.

Cafe Art Gallery Observation Towers Catering Kitchen

The complex had a mixed structural system. The left building had an exterior structure and the right building had an interior structure.

DONALD JUDD ART MUSEUM

This project is located in the heart of the Kansas City CrossRoads district. Michael’s goal for this project was to design a mu-seum that was therputic to go to, a place where people could go to to escape the busy life of a city. He wanted to do this through the use of materials and spaces. Using materials that were not familiar to the sur-rounding area helped Michael achieve this goal.

SUBTRACTION

On the site, Michael placed a reflecting pool right as you enter, inviting you to escape the busy city. One could enter the north entrance and walk straight to the main lobby desk or walk in the entrance to the right of the main north entrance into a cafe/bar. Once you enter that main entrance you can take a left into a lounge area surrounded by art. You can then proceed south to the library located in the back of the museum. Down stairs there is a public access space for a work shop.Upstairs there is more seating available, as well as more gallery space, with the floors lined with hardwood, as well as exposed timber struc-ture much like the outside stucture.

CIRCULATION STUDYMichael used this unique axonometric diagram to discribe the verticle circulation spaces, as well as the horizontal circulation spaces. Verticle Circulation: Main Stairs, Fire Stairs (to code), Central Elevator Shaft, and Elevator shaft in back to move art work through out the museum. Horizontal Circulation: Basement Floor, Level 1 floor, Level 2 floor with bridges.

ARMITAGE CENTER PAVILION

Michael was a project manager of an award winning project created by him and his colleges in Studio 409 Dirt Works Studio. This was a Design Build project provided to the KU Armitage Center at the KU Field Station.

The walls of the project are made of rammed earth. The rammed earth is stabilized by #6 Rebar, cement, and fly-ash. Pigment was added to each lift (Layer). The main feature of the wall is the red ribbon the flows through out the walls, creating a connection between the disconnected walls. The pavilion features 2 patios, and a canopy as well, made from a variety of different types of wood.

They use the pavilion for dinning as well as event space for outdoor learning, and presentations.

Maker Village KC InternshipMichael has been working with Nick Ward-Bopp and Sam Green, CO-Founders and Owners of Maker Village KC, to create a second floor and mezzanine. The next step is to build the floor and mezzanine. After that Michael will be put in charge of designing the front facade of Maker Vil-lage. He will then be in charge of building the facade as well.

The second floor and mezzanine will consist of a kitchen as well as laser cutters, computers, 3D printers, and desk for com-munity gathering and work.

ADA Approved Width

5’ Turning Radius if we get ride of door or expand bathroom.

Doors can swing into the turning space. The turning space can overlap other space requirements, including clear �oor space required at elements and �xtures.

Common QuestionsIs clear �oor space required to be centered on elements?

The standards require the clear �oor space to be centered on wheelchair accessi-ble drinking fountains (forward approach), kitchen work surfaces, (forward approach), and washers and dryers (side approach). Centering the clear �oor space on other elements is often advisable, but not required.

Can doors swing into required clear �oor or ground space?

Doors cannot swing into required clear �oor or ground spaces in these speci�c instances:

clear �oor space at controls for automatic and power assisted doors and gates (404.3.5)�xture clearances in toilet and bathing facilities (except those that are single user where wheelchair space beyond the door swing is provided) (603.2.3)clear �oor space required at benches in saunas and steam rooms (612.2)clear �oor space required at tactile signs, which must be beyond the arc of any door swing between the closed position and 45 degree open position (703.4.2)dressing, �tting, or locker rooms unless wheelchair space is provided beyond the arc of the door swing (803.3)In other locations, doors can swing into clear �oor or ground space, although locating door swing outside required clearances is advisable.

Can doors swing into turning space?

Yes, doors can swing into turning space.

Can clear �oor/ground space or turning space overlap other space requirements?

Yes, clear �oor or ground spaces and turning space can overlap other required clearances, including other clear �oor spaces, door maneuvering clearances, and �xture clearances.

Is turning space required in all rooms and spaces?

No. Turning space is required in certain spaces, such as toilet and bathing facilities, dressing and �tting rooms, and transient lodging guest rooms. Unless addressed by a speci�c requirement for turning space in the standards, other spaces are not required to provide them, including lobbies, o�ces, and meeting rooms.

(Yellow) I think these should be on the same level. The Stairs cause for an unnecessary use of materials. If we lower the Mezzanine that will give you more head room. (already at about 8’ 9”). It will also provide more space between railing an truss. This way the railing can line up perfectly with the truss system.

These stairs need to go because it disrupts the circulation. Another reason to why we need to make Mezzanine and Kitchen on same level.

Level 2

The second level width concerns me. There is about 7’ of space to �t counter space.

804.2.1 Pass Through Kitchen. In pass through kitchens where counters, appliances or cabinets are on two opposing sides, or where counters, appli-ances or cabinets are opposite a parallel wall, clearance between all opposing base cabinets, counter tops, appliances, or walls within kitchen work areas shall be 40 inches (1015 mm) minimum. Pass through kitchens shall have two entries.

804.3 Kitchen Work Surface. In residential dwelling units required to comply with 809, at least one 30 inches (760 mm) wide minimum section of counter shall provide a kitchen work surface that complies with 804.3.

804.3.1 Clear Floor or Ground Space. A clear �oor space complying with 305 positioned for a forward approach shall be provided. The clear �oor or ground space shall be centered on the kitchen work surface and shall provide knee and toe clearance complying with 306.

EXCEPTION: Cabinetry shall be permitted under the kitchen work surface provided that all of the following conditions are met:

the cabinetry can be removed without removal or replacement of the kitchen work surface;the �nish �oor extends under the cabinetry; andthe walls behind and surrounding the cabinetry are �nished.804.3.2 Height. The kitchen work surface shall be 34 inches (865 mm) maxi-mum above the �nish �oor or ground.

EXCEPTION: A counter that is adjustable to provide a kitchen work surface at variable heights, 29 inches (735 mm) minimum and 36 inches (915 mm) maximum, shall be permitted.

I think we should expand this area to here.. (yellow+red). If we expand this area, we will get more room for a proper ADA bathroom below. And a proper Kitchen above (ADA0

QUESTION: DO WE NEED ADA ACCESSI-BILITY FOR UPSTAIRS?

Hand Drawing Ability

Michael is using his knowledge he gained from his minor in business to create a business. This business is called Appreciat-ing Adventure and is now what he spends his free time working on.

These are a small percent of the graphics he developed for the company. He is using his understanding of the design process to design a business and is capturing the meaning of the business through several graphics.
