As a result of existing as both pyramid and labyrinth, the urban condition, as a layering of network spaces, relies on the architectural paradox to exist. The way that the layers of the city present themselves to occupants as both symbol and experience begin to formulate an understanding of the framework of the city. This convergence of ideas unfolds through the occupation of the city where events arise and formulate a larger mapping of relationships between the pieces of the metropolis and the urban landscape as a whole.

A media wall on the school facade activates the corner of the block. Seating allows for viewing cinematic events. Transparent ground conditions and a balcony with opening react to the train tracks below.

The school encompasses the opposite edge. It allows for bus access. There is a partially enclosed playground sunken into the inside courtyard as well as an exterior playground on the side of the school.

The proposed city block houses a mixture of various programs creating an urban microcosm within the city context. It contains retail space, a public middle school, and residential accommodations. The different programmatic elements are located around a central courtyard where there are dining patios and general public spaces including an outdoor cinema. The retail space is located opposite the school and activates the street level to encourage outsiders to venture into the block. The school has street access for school buses and an exposed playground at the basement level with access to an exterior playground in the courtyard harbored from the general public. The apartment units include both luxury and market rate units. There are communal spaces that connect the towers on each end.

Hayden Burns Library_Jacksonville, FLcritic : Michael KuenstleUF Design Studio viiiacademic_undergraduate

K.Kimball 09

The occupational activity of the city has dwindled due to a lack of exciting living and public spaces, causing occupants to vacate to surrounding suburbia. An overabundance of parking allows for this situation and has affected the pedestrian aspect of the urban space. The construct is located on top of the existing and vacant Hayden Burns Library and promotes a renewed sense of urban occupation by providing dwelling as well as recreation and commercial spaces

DartsA sculpting of the surface into peaks and crevaces. Securing a shortened fold to a point or between two points causes the level of the fabric to raise/drop in proportion to the amount of fabric it removes. The darted layers of fabric brace the structure they shape despite being hollow forms.Darts as unit extrusions

The construct reformulates a number of venues, and stacks them into a vertical framework of events. The program contains commercial space, a community theatre, hotel, bar, and patio park space. The stacking of public spaces captivates pedestrians and guides them to the apex.

Without the ability to relate space to typically known or socially enforced organizations, new experiences and questions cause enlightenment. Such architecture causes one to question previous architectural assumptions. This can be achieved by initially presenting the conventionally defined connections between various elements of architecture then inventing new associations between space and the events that occur within through “processes of defamiliarization, de-structuring, superimposition, and cross-programming.” This will cause each occupant to reevaluate their own position as a subject.

The construct redirects the way that people occupy the Savannah city structure. The entryway invites occupants down an alley space into a sunken gallery.

The construct protrudes towards the park, activating the city park structure. The hovering moment above the sidewalk is similar to the concept of the traditional Savannah house style stoop. Instead of inviting people from the city to the interior, it invites the occupant of the interior to the view of the outside.

A connecting ramp occupies a space parallel to the sidewalk to mimic the natural movement of the block. It is elevated to allow for occupation below it.

Outdoor space under the construct becomes the carriage house. It is open to the sidewalk and contains a bike rack, benches, and water fountain, acting like a modern day carriage house.

embody ing natur a l interstice sBeekeeper’s Retreat

K.Kimball 29

The trail through the site changes quite drastically to the occupant. It transforms from having vivid boundaries on each side to opening up to the point of disappearing into the landscape.

The ability to view outside of the path is also constantly changing. At times, the view is closed off except for the views directly in front and behind.

Longleaf Flatwoods Preserve_Hawthorne, FLcritic: Bradley WaltersUF Design Studio vacademic_undergraduate

K.Kimball 30

Sometimes the view is drawn upward by the verticality of the trees to the vast sky overhead

There are also moments where the trees thin out and reveal shattered glimpses of what lays beyond

K.Kimball 31

Once outside, the nomad can wander through the planted fields, continue into an outdoor space, or stride to a beacon.

K.Kimball 32

e m b o d y i n g n a t u r a l i n t e r s t i c e sBeekeeper’s Retreat

Along the trail, where the hammock’s trees begin to give way on one side to an expanse of sand hill, the construct declares its presence by interrupting the path. The large opening invites nomads inside, while the occupiable skin beckons to be explored enclosing the occupant and obscuring the view of the sand hill. Once inside the construct, the path gives way to open space, encouraging wandering - there are places for viewing, and meditating to be discovered.

K.Kimball 33

From the large entry space, a path to the private spaces provides opportunity for reflection. The undulating construction of the ground and the mesmerizing glimpses of the outside through the skin cause the nomad to change pace. The path continues to the small scale private spaces elevated in the canopy.The other path is meant for movement as it is enclosed and offers minimal, controlled views of the outside. The enclosure gives way to the outside to encourage a swift procession straight through

K.Kimball 34

The fields are located in the hammock because it is already broken by trees. The skin wraps around the construct to enclose an outdoor space. The outside is once again obscured, while the boundary between inside and out is blurred. Beyond this and across the sand hill lies the work space. It is small scale, intended for storage and honey processing. A theoretical path exists from the construct to the work space but it is up to the nomad to follow it or to break from the path to explore the surroundings that are finally, completely presented.

In nature, bees radiate from their hives to surrounding plants in order to cultivate honey and support their colony. The paths of the beekeepers start to become similar to that of the bees as well. At first, they stay on the paths to each hive, but eventually begin to break the existing path both for exploration and out of efficiency. The way the construct touches ground speaks about the people’s impact on the land. The paths of the people rest on the ground, planted vegetation is rooted in the ground, and the bees hover above it.

The barn space folds open into the fields. It is embedded into the ground; its structure exposed like a system of roots. Apertures filter light and allow air to flow through. The barn overhead extends to provide cover to the outdoor workspace.

The kitchen is directly above the barn space and provides a view of the fields in order to understand the full experience of cultivation. A light well provides cover from the south sun while allowing light to enter the spaces above the barn. The kitchen opens into open air patio dining and indoor dining space.

There are larger scale group meeting spaces that hover above the landscape. The idea of wandering and breaking paths embodies the lower level of the group space. It is gently divided by a light filter wall and ramps. The spaces accommodate circulation while allowing for breaking points where individuals can gather.

There are private spaces that rest on the ground as well as float above in order to provide different experiences of the landscape. The constraining hallway of the elevated living space is a stark contrast to the expansive walkway that hovers through the rest of the construct. This walkway allows for circulation as well as resting space for gazing into the landscape.

K.Kimball 38

The shifting of the construct both vertically and horizontally allows for uninterrupted views of the landscape. It also allows for passage above, below, and through the intervention similar to the occupation of the existing landscape, encouraging complete occupation of the site.

The intervention begins outside of the office entry on the second floor of the architecture building. It provides an overhead that pronounces the entry. The overhead flows downwards to contain stair access to the garden. It cascades lower and contains study and viewing spaces. The structure spills out onto the garden level providing a patio ground surface and sculpted benches.

Sound Grove knits together existing activity centers reinventing the urban landscape. The development creates a medium density transition between residential neighborhoods to the north & west and downtown Nashville. The livable mixed-use community reduces unnecessary commuter travel time, providing users with time-savings and increased mental health, while the dynamic outdoor space contributes to physical well-being. SoundGrove enables Nashville to be at the forefront of the move towards sustainability in its physical, economic, and social landscapes.

Pedestrian friendly streets discourage the use of automobiles, and reduce carbon emissions. Implementation of flood control practices and stormwater management promotes awareness and advocates for a eco awareness. Bicycle and pedestrian paths create connections between the riverfront, newly developed activity nodes, the Nashville Sounds Stadium, the farmer’s market, and event space pavillion.

The Museum of Surrealism provides visitors with an unfamiliar context in which to view Surrealist art. The formal ambiguity of the museum allows for a release of the subconscious resulting in an uninhibited mind.

Surrealism is an art form in which images or events are composed in a strange and dreamlike way. It aims to blur the line between the conditions of dream and reality in order to defy reason and distract rationality.

f e r r a r i h e a d q u a r t e r sMaximalism through formal exuberance

Marinello, Italycritic : Ali Rahimparter: Katie ViechnickiPenn_Design Studio 701academic_graduate

K.Kimball 49

Maximalism is explored through patterning to accentuate spatial exuberance. The black and white pattern is manipulated from surface to volume in order to create both structure and space through surficial continuity.

The scale and repetition of the accumulation of black and white on the exterior camouflages the figure. The aggregation of the pattern on the interior at a tangible scale reflects the kind of detail associated with maximalism.

The black operates in three different ways. It flows across the surface, acting as camouflage to weave together different formal elements into one overall form also masking breaks in symmetry. It pulls into the interior to create volume, and it pools into line to accentuate spatial elements that also serve to connect the exterior and the interior.

The Museum of Science Fiction focuses on the moving image, providing visitors with an understanding of the genre while embodying the conceptual, and technological qualities of Sci-Fi film. Sci-Fi is the cultural manifestation through which a time period’s underlying ideas, desires, and fears are expressed. Themes can be technological, socio-political, philosophical spiritual, and historical.

The museum ebodies elements of science fiction, It’s bone-like structure is obscured by a semi opaque skin stretched over top. Systems are embedded in the membrane. It’s overt symmetry is broken by mutation, creating strangeness and discomfort within the form.

Working with Interface Flooring, we developed a product that takes flooring to a whole new level. Living Room purifies and enlivens your home by bringing green indoors. Statistically, we spend 90% of time indoors and the levels of many air pollutants are 2-5 times higher in indoor air than outdoor air. Incorporating plants into your home can create a humidity level exactly matching the recommended human comfort range which can reduce cough and dry throat symptoms by 30%. The plants also absorb air pollutants. Having greenery around you can reduce stress and fatigue.

This design is intended for installation at

Fluff Bakery, designed by LTL. The interior is

composed of layers of common materials--

the walls and ceiling are laminated with felt

strips and stained plywood. The saturation

of the materials is adjusted to produce

a darker area at the seats and a lighter

combination at the ceiling. The surface of

strips effects a “horizontal vertigo.” The

lamp continues the idea of layering common

materials. Instead of competing with the

horizontal, it is oriented to be vertical. The

gradient of light continues the idea that the

designers had with the gradient of saturation.

3d printed star objects

The Museum of Art and Other Objects is a formal study that focuses on the strange interfaces between objects. Star objects are contained inside of a crystal, and a ziggerat-like stepped liner acts as the interface between the objects. The resulting interstices create interesting spaces. The liner contains the circulation and creates a vertical atrium that occupants pass in and out of between galleries. The stars can be percieved from different vantage points throughout the crystal and are auditoriums for performance and video art.
