My name is Lane Garrett Pendleton, I am currently in my fifth year of the Masters in Architecture program at Kansas State University. I have spent my whole life growing up in the Midwest however I have been fortunate enough to travel most of the U.S. and parts of Europe including England, France, and Italy. Architecture has an overwhelming ability to stimulate our feelings and behavior. It is from these experiences that I have developed a deep passion and understanding for the profession.

Synthesis

_pier 58Fifth Year Thesis: Fall 2013Collaborative Living Cities Design Competition

02

New York City and Pier 58 nurture each other through synthesis of tower and urban floor. By cantilevering the structure of our building over the High Line, we can eliminate the boundary between the street and the designed spaces, further illustrating the tower’s connection to the city through approachable destinations at the public level. Pier 58 is a tower organically connected to the urban floor, actively participating in the prosperity of the Chelsea neighborhood and the revolution of urban living strategies.

The High Line is New York’s budding urban floor and has created a rich environment in which to plant great buildings.

The 11th Street Plaza dissolves the boundary between building site and the public zone. The tower is activated by the dialogue between passers through and passers by and patrons utilizing Pier 58’s public amenities.

The subway in New York was the city’s first response to connecting a dense urban populous, but perhaps the most intriguing solution to density is growing above the street...

The Pier Spa and Fitness Center

The fitness center offers a lofty vantage point to enjoy while invigorating the body. Enjoy the panoramic views as you jog the circle track, or immerse yourself in a thought provoking, full body swim in one of the sky pools. The facade system on these levels is designed to diffuse the boundary between interior and exterior during suitable weather, so that you can reconnect with your city while you fortify your physique.

The Main is the heart of Pier 58, and is designed to offer something to every owner. Here you will send and receive you mail at Pier 58’s central post service. The Main has a flexible program to accommodate the tower community as a whole on the sky terrace or privately in the wine bar and library.

Establishing a practical minimum for unit square footage at 400 SF, which would accommodate a studio apartment condition. A 20’ x 20’ structural grid provides the proper dimensions for a repeating residential module. Modules can be purchased individually for small studio living or as packages to accommodate larger family situations. Instead of designing to a specific demographic of the New York populous, the design is a flexible entity that will always be relevant to the shape of the city as it evolves over time.

Repetition

The Academy of the Performing Arts presents itself as an elegant gesture to the surrounding Arts and Crossroads District in Kansas City, MO. Celebrating Theatre, Music, and Dance, the academy reveals itself both externally to the community and internally to the inhabitants. Achieving a visual connection to the surrounding Crossroads Arts District as an “Arts” building was a major concern. To do so, the academy grabs hold of three dominant forms that nestle into a large circulation route throughout. Spatially, the Theatre, Music, and Dance forms are intended to cantilever in both directions therefore becoming the central focus or primary drive of the design.

Reflection

The University Museum was designed behind a concept based on Kessler’s Parks and Boulevard Systems. Our site’s location is at the split of Rockhill Road and Cherry Street and it is at this point I noticed a strange alteration in the usual grid pattern. Through precedent and research on Kessler’s Parks and Boulevard system you learn that his philosophy through the development of the Kansas City street pattern was to follow the shape of the terrain rather than grid like patterns. Three massive fin-like structures elegantly fall down the site acting as retaining walls for the museum. They are used for a large part of the structural support as well as drawing light into the galleries in a unique way. As you follow my Parti you will see that the museum is divided into three zones creating private offices, circulation, and public galleries.

Perception

The Kansas City Public Library is designed behind the ideas and principles of how a book works and functions rather than its appearance. With that said, the Library has a vertical spine binding together its different stories. The spines act as the circulation from level to level through the building anchoring or counteracting the push and pull of the forms while also drawing natural light through clerestories. Pushing and pulling these spaces allows for a large atrium as well as exterior reading areas for both the youth and adult levels. Each level “talks” to its own space on the site providing shade, protection, and views beyond.

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

Each story resembles a chapter and through the Parti, you see that the Library is divided into three forms that are pushing and pulling towards two spines.

Structure

Each form is one big truss that is tied together by the concrete cores in the center of the building. A network of columns run through all three forms for further support and in plan creates unity between them.

_tensegrity

Studying the principles and beliefs of R. Buckminster Fuller, I was asked to create a tensegrity using a minimum of twelve members. For my design, there are twelve tripod members made of wooden rods held together by metal angle plates. Using 1/16” guage steel cable, 3/32” turnbuckles, and eye hooks the members are held in tension or compression. The final result, a visually appealing tectonic sculpture.

Thermal Baths for Leonardo da Vinci

Studying abroad in Castiglion Fiorentino, I found that I became much more passionate towards Architecture and professional practice. When in studio, it is possible to lose this passion due to constant repetition of the same secure movements. Architectural studies in another setting reassured my passion and realization that architecture is an ever changing experience that one seeks to find. My appreciation for Architecture as a profession grew immensely while visiting iconic Architectural masterpieces. The way that these masterpieces evoke our mind and bodies as we perceive their spatial boundaries is crucial and most often life changing. Architecture stimulates feelings and behavior and it is through professional practice that we achieve this goal.
