ill forum

The Quality Hill Forum is a building of activity and retreat. In a neighborhood which is still developing and is a mix of residential, industrial, and commercial; a unifying building could serve many functions. This community building will provide a connection to the neighborhood and to the overall urban fabric.

Like the neighborhood, the building would be an element of constantly chang-ing activity. From the informal gatherings in the open spaces to more struc-tured activity in the forum, the project will easily accommodate both. The activity level can change from an active event space to a quiet reading space. Not only can the activity levels change, but several different activity levels can co-exist within the space.

Along with activity is the concept of retreat. An active space cannot be ap-preciated without the counterpart of retreat from the chaos, just as retreat cannot be understood without activity from which to retreat. The design of the building will provide moments of retreat which visually disconnect you from a large space, as well as moments of retreat which serve as an auditory disconnect, where you can still observe the activity around you.

The building is a series of forms and voids which create overlapping and interactive spaces. These spaces overlap in both the horiztonal and verti-cal planes, creating a series of places rather than a building of rooms. The performative aspects of the building are also important, and are shown most evidently through the skin, which is layered to protect and engage, and oper-able to adjust to the constantly changing activities contained within.

MARVIN AUDITORIUMgraduate studio | summer 2010 | five weeks

marvin

Located on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence, Kansas; Marvin Hall is home to the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning. As an original campus building built in 1909 and later renovated to accommodate studio spaces, offce spaces, and a small jury room; there has long been a need for a larger auditorium space where the whole school can gather together for meetings and classes can take place in the same building, rather than spread across campus.

The new Marvin Auditorium will sit behind the existing building, and will con-nect directly to the existing jury room as well as to the bridge between the Architecture School and the Art School.

The design of the new space combines the desire for a modern aesthetic while still respecting and connecting to the original limestone building as well as the modern steel and glass bridge. The design focuses on containing the auditorium within a layered facade system which allows for natural lighting as well as passive heating and cooling in the double facade system.

NEW ORLEANS FILM CENTERgraduate studio | spring 2011 | full semester

new orlean

s film

center

Located in the Warehouse District of New Orleans, the mission of the New Orleans Film Center is to support making, viewing, collecting, preserving, and interacting with films which chronicle the people, history, culture, and life of New Orleans. The film center is a place of activity, a place of learning, a place of social and creative interaction.

The building is organized around three main zones of activity: process, prod-uct, and interaction. The process zone focuses on spaces where documen-tary films are in the process of being created. The product zone focuses on spaces where finished products are celebrated. The third zone is the interac-tive zone, which ties together the various spaces. These are areas where the public interacts with the films and the film makers.

The building greets users with an open plaza and draws them up and through the spaces. The building also draws from and connects to the social aspect of the neutral ground to the south and southeast of the site, extending that connection onto the site and into the building.

The organized, exposed structure and simple layout of the building serve to inform the spaces which are then defined by the activities they contain. Rather than separating the floor plates into lots of smaller rooms, there is an open floor plan which encourages interaction between the spaces and users. More private spaces sit as objects in the space, with the ability to open up or close off. There is a high level of transparency throughout the entire building.

TEMPLE OF THE TIDESspirit of place - spirit of design | summer 2007

temple of

the tid

es

Shimmering Reflections...Never Touching, Always Touching...The Sal Laden Air of Two Eternities in One...The tide out and the tide in are never the same and always the same...to the Emerging Irish in all of us.

SITE: Belmullet, County Mayo, Ireland

PROGRAM: A project to bring interest to and create a starting point for an existing sculpture trail along the northwest coast of Ireland.

PROCESS: This was a semester-long group design project in the Spirit of Place Spirit of Design program at Catholic University. The design process culmi-nated in a two week build in Ireland during the following summer. We were responsible for concept drawings through construction documents, and build-ing everything, from pouring concrete to electrical, to laying stone.

CONCEPT: The concept is based of the celtic belief in thin places, or geo-graphical locations where the veil between worlds become thin; and past, present, and future meet.

DESIGN: The project sits on a site on the edge of town where the canal meets the bay, and is focused on that vantage point. Focusing on the concept of the meeting of past, present, and future; moments in time are represented by the poles in the design, which build upon the past, encompass the present, and look out towards the futre.

GALILEO PAVILIONstudio 804 | fall 2011 - spring 2012

galileo p

avilion

The goals of the Johnson County Communit College Center for Sustainability, combined with the need for additional classrooms at the ever-expanding col-lege leads to a unique opportunity to create an inspired learning space which also serves as an information center for the campus and the community at large.

The goal of the Galileo Pavilion is to create an environment which is a node of activity and interaction on the campus. The building incorporates and enhances the existing Galileo Sculpture, and amplifies the artists concept of working with the sun. Arranged on the site around a courtyard, the interior spaces fuction as classrooms, meeting rooms, student lounge, and coffee bar.

The new building is not simply one among many, but an icon that leads the rest of campus by example. Several design decisions were made which signify the unique role of informing the public of JCCCs sustainable initiatives. The facade of the pavilion is clad in a unique rainscreen, made from reclaimed slate chalkboards. Other design features include the use of passive heat-ing and cooling systems such as thermal mass, natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting and reuse and green roof trays; in addition to active systems such as photovoltaics and a wind turbine.

Studio 804 is a non profit corporation affiliated with the University of Kansas, whose participants are final year graduate architecture students. Studio 804 projects focus on issues of sustainability and modern design. This project is expected to be the fifth LEED Platinum building produced by the program.

Classrooms

The Galileo Pavilion contains classroom spaces which are available for use by any department on campus. The setting of the space encourages the spread of sustainable learning across the disci-plines. This will better help students to understand the impact of every aspect of their lives on the environment around them.

Student Lounge

The open, accessible design of the building encourages students to pass through on their way to class to grab a snack or fill up their water bottle while at the same time provides space for stu-dents to gather, interact, and study be-tween classes in an environment that is inviting and inspiring.

Coffee Bar

Adjacent to the student lounge is a cof-fee bar which will open and close via a large pivoting steel door. The space can also serve as a catering space for functions taking place in the lounge.

With the limited space available on Johnson County Community Colleges campus for small classroom buildings we saw an opportunity, with a small alteration to the existing fottprint, to juxtapose the new building next to the existing Galileo Garden. There is a common intention with both the exisiting sculpture and our design concept with the focus on the sun and the play of light. As Dale Eldred took inspiration from architecture and light, we follow his lead and take our inspirations from sculpture and light. In addition to the influence of sunlight, we aim to emulate a similar integration of science and nature. As Bruce Hartman, Executive Director of the Nerman Museum, stated in describing the Galileo Garden, [t]he [e]ntire campus is a classroom; after all the sculpture commemorates the absolution of Galileo Galilei and accepts the implicit danger in advocating certainty in matters of scientific knowledge. Reflecting on this, we intend to proclaim the timeless importance of sustainability.
