Manhattan Public Library Cico ParkLeft: The site for the project was a field next to a park.Above: Drawings show early ideas about how to incorporate the park into the library.
I believe it is important for people to make the connection between reading and leisure when visiting the public library. In order to do this, the building is designed to connect to its site, a public park, as much as possible. This is achieved by burying it into the ground on one side, covering the roof with grass, and mimicking a park with the shape of the building. This can help draw attention to a great public resource.

The triangular shape of the main reading spaces blend into more square support shapes in order to make the room function better as a whole.

Public spaces feel very open and it is easy for a visitor to determine which spaces are meant solely for employee use.

Flint Hills Center for CraftsLeft Page: This project started out trying to separate the spaces more. That led to the angular shape in the bottom left picture that gives each studio its own wing. It also led to the hourglass shape on top that separates the caretaker’s house from the rest of the facility. Top Right: An early model from Rhinocerous Bottom Right: A model of the latest revision

This design is intended to bring the craftsperson, consumer, and craft itself closer together while still allowing each separate piece to function in the best way it can. Spaces are visually connected to reinforce the hard work that makes the craft special. Additionally spaces are physically separate where they need to be for safety of the customers and concentration of the craftspeople. This allows work to be produced while being appreciated at the same time.
As wonderful as it would be to allow visitors to walk right up to craftspeople as they work, it does decrease productivity and safety. The layout of this facility aims to give guests the feel of the studio atmosphere while still providing the needed separation.

LOCATION
The Flint Hills Center for Craft is located on a large property far enough away from the city to feel very natural. By placing the center to the side of the property opposite the road and keeping parking near the road, it allows the visitor to have the experience of leaving the urban “manufactured” type of life behind for a little while and really immerse themselves in the handmade process.

One Artist MuesumDesigned to Showcase the Work of Takashi MurakamiOne Artist MuesumDesigned to Showcase the Work of Takashi MurakamiAbove: Examples of the work that this museum is designed to displayLeft: The original scheme was a lot more wild than the simple solution to follow
The purpose of this museum is to showcase the work of Takashi Murakami. The design focuses on blending, as the artist does in his work, high end art and retail pieces. In order to do this, spaces are arranged on a ken mat system so that each function has its own zone that may merge with another related to it either symbolically or functionally. This organization follows the way Murakami thinks about his work.
The high end art gallery spaces and the retail spaces most symbolize Murakami’s artistic philosophy. Visually connecting these spaces by location and structure type makes sense. The educational portion of this museum, although an aspect of Murakami’s professional life, is a little distant from his artistic message. To portray this while still connecting it with the other functions of the museum, it has a more solid structure. Art education is sort of the foundation upon which Murakami has his fun breaking the rules about what is high end art and what are fun items to sell. I think having a very solid feeling part of the building that interlaces with the light and free display side of the museum helps get this point across.
