design-build

studio 804 | lawrence, kansas

Studio 804 is a yearlong, comprehensive program for graduate students in their inal year to design and construct a building of great technical sophistication. Studio 804 is committed to sustainable design and resource-conserving architecture. he EcoHawks Research Facility is expected to be our sixth consecutive LEED Platinum building.

student + athlete + event

university of kansas soccer stadium | lawrence, kansas

h is project investigates the overlapping worlds of the student athlete. h is is a place for the student to focus on their education, the athlete to train for competition, and the event of the soccer game to bring the two worlds together. My focus is on creating a space that enhances and merges the academic and ath-letic experience. I also focus on the relationship between stadium and campus, creating a ‘campus green’ or common area that encourages student interaction and use of the facilities.

evidence-based design

university of kansas residence hall | lawrence, kansas

h e “good” residence hall is located on the University of Kansas campus. h is project used evidence-based research on residence hall living to inform “good” design. In this design, the freshman and sophomores have traditional double-occupancy rooms, while upperclassmen live in apartment-style private rooms with shared common spaces. h e dif erence in spaces accommodates the varying needs of dif erent age groups. I also designed i ve other important “moments” in the dorm which will facilitate student interaction. h ese spaces include: the plaza, community lounge, laundry lounge, entry, and dining room.

junior/senior rooms

freshman/sophomore rooms

h e freshman and sophomore wings have traditional double occupancy rooms. Built-in furniture provides optimal space in the small rooms. Each student has a small closet at the front of the room. h e junior and senior suites are 4-bedroom suites with a living room and shared bathroom. h is allows older students to live with their friends in an apartment-style room while maintaining their connection to campus.

A cafe located on the i rst l oor of the building connects to the plaza. Outdoor seating allows students to enjoy warm weather months soaking up the sun studying outside with friends. Planters around the trees provide additional seating for those who wish to sit in the shade. A i re pit in the center of the plaza creates a “hearth” during cold months. In warm months, a hard cover can be placed on top of the i re pit to create a stage for student performances, such as concerts and poetry slams.

the plaza

h e mail boxes rel ect the push and pull of the building as well as the individuality of each resident. h e mail area is demarcated by red walls, a drop ceiling and wood l oors. Can lights above and a seating area enables residents to sort through their mail on site. A recycling bin in the wall allows students to throw away junk mail.

mail room

h e community lounge encourages students to interact with people who live near them A semi-circle couch creates a gathering area where students can relax outside of their room. h e main wall is painted a dif erent color in each community to create an identifying feature for the residents. Dry erase walls are provided outside of student rooms where residents can write messages to each other.

dry erase wall detail

h e laundry lounge/kitchenette is located on the end of each l oor in the freshman and sophomore wing. Younger students need areas of random interaction to meet people. h is area combines the acts of washing clothes and cooking. Both activities take time, and often during both there is a waiting period. A stair tower connects l oors so students can pass through and interact with each other in this area

section

campus infi lllecture hall addition | lawrence, kansas

h e Marvin Auditorium is a proposal for a lecture hall addi-tion on the south side of Marvin Hall. h is addition would be primarily for architecture classes and guest lectures, but could also be utilized for classes in other majors. h e lecture hall connects to Marvin through the Jury Room which will be opened up to become a transition space or waiting area before and after lectures. It can also be used throughout the day as a lounge or gathering space for students.

process

h e lecture hall holds up to 244 people plus 6 wheelchair spaces for a total of 250. Two main means of egress at the front of the lecture hall are also accessible entrances as they are at grade level. Acoustically, I wanted to make sure that sound was evenly distributed. I created several iterations of the acoustical panel layout and applied various sound absorption techniques including acoustical clouds, acoustical side wall panels, and sound absorbing panels in the back of the lecture hall.

egress

Top-lighting is utilized through the use of roof monitors. h is provides the most even light distribution which is ideal for classrooms. Light is dif used through the wrapped joists which act as baffl es, and by the translucent acoustic panels. h e monitors have louvers in order to shut out the light when necessary. h e south orientation takes advantage of the prominent south winds. A trombe wall captures heat in the winter months and allows cross-ventilation in summer months.

he green roof is an extensive assembly roof, which is typically for green roofs that are not accessible. It is a low-maintenance roof which is ideal since it is not intended for recreation, but is intended to reduce the heat-island efect and minimize stormwater runof.

he skin of the building is a curtain wall. he south facade is a trombe wall, comprised of a concrete mass and glazing. On the east and west facades, the curtain wall changes from glazing to an oxidized zinc metal panel which has a similar coloring to the Marvin Stone so that it complements the existing building without trying to copy it.

urban renewal

vacant buildings

vacancy factor building use

Research gathered by the Homeless Service Coalition of Greater Kansas City reveals the need for transitional housing for families and women. he selected block is comprised mostly of historic and vacant buildings. he brick building envelopes are preserved, showcasing the history of the West Bottoms.

he complex is linked using a lightweight steel canopy. It acts as a rainwater collection system. he center provides a starting point for the revitalization of the entire West Bottoms area, helping the homeless and the community as a whole.

he amoeba structure is the focal point of the project. It changes based on the building and functions it serves. It starts crawling over the residential building and creates a large private atrium space for the residents. he amoeba continues into the courtyard where it becomes an open air canopy. Finally, it climbs up the side of the administration building and carves out the interior and through the top of the building creating an interior atrium.

he amoeba is supported by a steel framing tree-like system. In the residential building, the tree branches span the length of the atrium to support the glass with spider clips on a steel frame. hrough the courtyard the amoeba frame is supported by smaller operable trees with fabric canopies that open and close depending on the weather. he amoeba crawls into the administration building and once inside, the tree supports the loor joists in the carved atrium. he top is sup-ported by the tree that comes through the top of the building.

parametric interface

design-build installation | lawrence, kansas

h e intent of this project is to emphasize transition by causing a user to slow down as he/she is guided through a path while transitioning from a visually stimulating and quiet space to a darker, visually subdued and loud space, or vice versa.

Each side of the transition tar-gets one sense while the other is muted to increase the perception of the targeted sense. Our focus is on the visual and auditory senses.
