    I am a fth year M. Arch student at the University of Kansas seeking to bring some moxie and design enthusiasm to a full-time employment opportunity.

    With just the right mix of design instincts and business savvy, I look forward to joining an of ce who is searching for a team member who can bring an eclectic mix of skills and dexterity to multiple projects at various stages of completion.

    After seven months of working in a fast-paced, highly competitive, architectural of ce environment, I understand the importance of working quickly and ef ciently to visually and verbally communicate the core ideas without sacri cing quality or a creative edge. The ongoing development of these skills in my nal semester of school makes me a prepared and intentional candidate ready to jump into any role.

    Please contact me if you are interested in adding a exible, con dent, fresh, young designer to your of ce!

    DESIGNDESIGN

    The Kansas City Rock Island Corridor is a 30 mile stretch of abandoned rail between Kansas City, MO and Pleasant Hill, MO. Plans for a mass rapid transit line along the corridor challenge designers to revitalize adjacent communities while incorporating sustainable strategies. I explored the advantages of employing a network of interrelated systems that would work symbiotically to create an ef cient, biomimetic, industrial organism. Versatility and modular construction allow the structure to be deployed in diverse environments and conditions. Situating in existing industrial sites facilitates an educational contrast between new and old, providing the framework for an updated, responsible way to generate electricity, grow food locally, and properly retain and repurpose storm water.

    The second phase combined our individual components from phase one into a holistic, group proposal for the development of the corridor. We took the essence from each of our three projects (infrastructure as public architecture, a canopy with adaptable components, and patterning as a means for layered systems integration) and merged them into an infrastructural prototype composed of a solar and water collecting canopy, farming and water retention plots, an electric car charging parking lot, and a small station for the light rail stop. In uenced by the inherent synergy present in the combinant systems, we applied the voronoi tesselation as a generator of the geometry of both the plots and the canopy and a tensegrity structural system - further emphasizing that each constituent part is essential to the success of the whole.

    This 57,500 sq. ft. extension to the existing Lawrence Arts Center takes full advantage of passive strategies while providing users with a unique, yet intuitive, experience. The extrusion and pushing back of the existing circulation corridor allowed for the shift of programmatic spaces to be displayed at the front of the new addition rather than tucked behind the circulation as in the original LAC. The orientations and heights of each wing of the building were carefully considered to let in ample natural light while the long, narrow room shapes and operable glazing systems facilitate cross ventilation and views to outdoor sculpture courts and playground spaces. The addition contains both small, intimate gallery spaces as well as large, open galleries in addition to much-needed preschool classrooms, dance studios, and a black box theater.

    The primary goal with this project was to create a dynamic,

    spatial experience while respecting surrounding historic landmarks. This was

    achieved through the addition of a series of circulation ramps beneath the raised, arti cial berm.

    The glass ramps serve as prisms of light to illuminate the underside of the superstructure and the market below.

    An exercise in uninhibited creativity, this project brought about a better understanding of the balance between subtle and dramatic

    moves that work together to enhance the sequence of spatial progression.

    HDR participated in the ElevATE food festival hosted by Omahas Emerging Terrain. The invited exhibition partnered the design team at HDR with local chef Paul Kulik of the Boiler Room to construct a temporary pavilion in which to cook and serve small plates from a special menu. In keeping with Chef Kuliks culinary expertise, the parametrically designed pop-up tent was complete with a central re pit and chimney - evoking prehistoric themes of mans primal relationship to food.

    WORK The world is shrinking. The identity of every city, the world over, has begun to converge. An increased demand for consumer products has spawned a surfeit of buildings that look exactly the same whether they are in Boise or Bangladesh; we are awash in the glowing arches of McDonalds and many others like it. And this is no surprise -- for a brand to be recognizable, its image must be consistent. It goes without saying that consistency lends itself to consumer recognition, as well as to cost effectiveness and ease of repetition. But this does not preclude variation.In reaction against the tendency to see buildings as objects and brands as logos, we have set out to create a system that will transcend these constraints, so that its identity may be known by its intangibles rather than by its form alone.Our approach was to establish a framework which would allow us to create endless variation, but one that was rigid enough to maintain a high level of speci city and cohesion between every iteration.

    The facade is constructed with an elegant system of two interwoven planes of cables. Think of it as an elaborate game of connect the dots -- a single steel cable is woven from point 1, to point 2, to point 3, and so on.

    Taking on the traditional box form (ef cient in both cost and utility) and wrapping it in a prefabricated system of off-the-shelf parts establishes a fresh take on building identity. A varied prototype, each building interjects itself into the broader context of the city by deviating from the standard brand applications of traditional, commercial architecture.Each iteration is a constituent part of the reformed system of commercial architecture - all unique, yet of the same DNA. As a result, the collective group is instantly recognizable as one brand. This cohesiveness coupled with the advent of new construction applications for typical mullion outriggers and steel Inox cables (most often seen in parking garage crash rails) work to rede ne the notion of a chain of stores or businesses.

    The site for the new Focal Point campus and St. Anthony Hospital affords a supreme opportunity for change. Located in Southwest Chicago, it is one of the most vibrant, yet blighted, neighborhoods in the city. Acting as both an anchor and an agent for change, the hospital is envisioned as an urban campus that fosters a relationship between the hospital and its community.Hospital and community are intrinsically linked by a circulatory system a band of food and retail markets, tness centers, etc. that runs along the third oor of the building. This system serves as the interface between the world of healthcare and the world beyond, and it literally brings the two together a new paradigm in the industry.

    STUDYMODELS &DESIGNBUILD

  • BUILD

    This group project centered around creating a master plan of the new classroom for the Studio 409 and 804 classes. Our class developed the oor plan for the space, designed a desk scheme, and built 60 workspaces. Several material options were explored (see the glass and steel version to the right) but the nal construction was of tube steel and Baltic Birch plywood. I worked primarily on the design of the desks structure and on the steel fabrication and welding.
