STUDIO

Urban LibraryThe concept of this project was to reconnect the library with both downtown Lexington and the University of Kentucky’s campus. The program of this library is centered around the concept for the future of books combined/compared with new digital technologies. The design uses private and public spaces to integrate a shared program that will attract a variety of different people.

To execute the concept, the building is situated on the existing site of the main transportation branch. By doing this, the building turns into a hub. Then, the bridge is added to create easy accessibility for pedestrians coming from downtown, making the design both a public and social space.

This project’s goal was to combine a series of programs to create a unified, abstract design. The design displays moments of interaction and variation within and between the three programs: grid, object and surface. The boundaries defined the limits of my grid, prompting me to play and experiment with the x, y and z axes. Throughout the form, local conditions are revealed within the overall structure.

Flagship StoreFall 2011 Studio | Professor Kyle Miller

11

Designed as a flagship store, the building has an urban context with a corner condition in Chicago, Illinois. This project focuses on designing structure, facade and program in an effective manner. The final product is influenced by initial concept models. Using systematic carving techniques, openings were created throughout the building to accommodate access and natural lighting. The interior of the structure was also carved out as a way to create a main path of circulation.

The facade of the building then became a secondary design system. This was done by creating alternating discs to reveal natural light and save the overall energy intake of the structure.

12

This project was designed as student housing for the University of Kentucky School of Agriculture. The design focuses on solar movements and biological circadian rhythms. Each floor level is programmed to maximize usage in the most minimal space.

This unit is a combination of platform framing (using 2 x 4, every 16 inches) and balloon framing (using 2 x 6, every 16 inches) used in timber construction. The foundation uses a thickened edge concrete slab, which is also used as flooring for the first floor.

The housing complex is meant for Delft students and residents between the ages of 18 to 35. This design blends the living habits of all ages, incorporating various programs into the building and creating different levels of interaction. Such programs include a marketplace, retail stores, and social/communal areas. Because this age range varies in needs and wants, these programs are flexible in adapting to all ages and all possible future scenarios. These rooms are arranged in a way that will encourage interaction between residents without disruption of their daily lives. The hybrid dwelling must become a combination of necessity, amenity, and community

Potential Locations

This project was designed to be a multi-use entertainment structure that contains two IMAX theaters and introduces a grand ballroom space to accompany the adjacent hotel. The main circulation path is through the middle of the building as a way to demonstrate a social and communal program accented by exposed structural steel. This design also includes long-span steel trusses and active sustainable features.

This project combines various fields of study into one building to promote social and professional communication. The pre-design analysis observed urban movement and circulation patterns to better understand how people interact in and around buildings. The project is located on UK’s campus, housing different spaces for business, foreign language, and anthropology. It includes a main lecture hall, several small classrooms, a library, a computer lab, administration offices, and a café.

DESIGN STUDIES

3027

This project was used as a design tool to learn different 3D rendering programs such as Rhino and VRay. The final design is a public pavilion located in downtown Lexington, Kentucky where it would act as a temporary installation. The structure deals with a variety of shapes and thicknesses, aided by the egg-crate design.

This model was laser cut from chipboard.

This is a parametric aluminum structure that uses experimental building techniques. I learned how to construct a complex form using tension and compression, as well as physically riveting and constructing the piece on site in Rennes, France.

This structure demonstrates my ability to use various design tools such as Rhino, Grasshopper, Python Script and VRay. The design was commissioned by Port Everglades to act as a beacon for their newly rennovated Port. Not only is it an iconic form, but it is also designed to adapt/interact with the site.
