“One day, and probably soon, we need some recognition of what above all is lacking in our big cities: quiet and wide, expansive places for re�ection....buildings and sites that would altogether give expression to the sublimity of thoughtfulness and of stepping outside.” -Fredrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science

The ForumThe ForumCrossroads District Kansas City, MO
Located in a ‘proposed’ Crossroads District of Kansas City, MO, this building serves as an Athenæ um to the neighborhood. It is a public place meant to welcome and enrich the lives of people who use the space. This design houses an auditorium for neighborhood events, a book collection and residential apartments to promote a mixed use building environment. Across the pedestrian boulevard, is a large communal plaza for the proposed Crossroads district. In an attempt to pull a plant element into the building, the facade is nearly completly composed of wooden planters holding plants that are both æ sthetically appealing and functional, serving as shade and wind blocks for the outdoor balcony area behind them.
5
The first part of the project was to redesign the Crossroads District in order to utilize the unused space, form an environment more conducive for living and working and to foster a spirit of pedestrian-friendliness. Larger sidewalks were added to every street, along with accessible bike paths. Mass transit - such as a light rail and a trolley - were added to major streets to encourage people to park their cars and use the mass transit instead.

The residential areas all have their own balcony with access to planters, which would allow them to cultivate gardens for their own needs.

The wooden planters are supported by a steel trellis. Not only dœ s this supply structural support, but it also offers a support for vine plants - such as tomatœ s. A perforated tube runs through the steel trellis, and carries water, by the force of gravity, to all the planters within the facade system.

Museum of Craft and DesignDallas Arts District, TX
This museum - located in the Dallas Arts District - houses many handcrafted art pieces, such as pottery and glass. With this in mind, the archetype of this building is meant to be that of a mound. A protective structure emerging from the earth to house and hold these handmade objects. When entering, a person has the experience of going into the ground and then gradually rising up as they walk through the galleries.

Section BB
Each floor in the gallery space pulls back a little farther from the next creating a dynamic space that allows visual connection between all the levels. All the galleries are open to each other, while being closed to the outside. This strengthens the internal focus of the building.

Facade StudyDesign and Build: Part 1
This design study invited us to explore the different qualities and abilities of metal when used in a facade design. This design stemmed from the idea of weaving and origami. The ability of each metal panel to fold into a horizontal sun shade and then back into a vertical window cover was infl uenced by origami. The perforations and textures of each panel was designed by the inspiration of weaving. The textured lining on the panel facades gœ s in different directions across the panels, and at different density gradients, in order to make the surface of the panel less refl ective, as well as to give the lines the appearance of weaving around the perforations.
Different design options were tested on ability to operate, practicality in manufacturing, and sun shading.

Once a basic design had been chosen, the mechanics and æ sthetic qualities were explored further through sun tests, and prototype developments to develope the structure and movement of the panels.
24
Small hinge joints were applied at the middle points of the panel to allow the bending motion.
25
Initial folded surface Rectangle perforations cretaed to let in light.
A gradiant of surface lines was created to give the panel texture.
Tabs were added to the middle of each perforation for structural support.
Folding motion allows the panel to become a sun shade.
The panels were designed to all slide as one, but different intervals (depending on the amount of sun they would receive on the building). A simple ball and track mechanism would allow the panels to slide up and down.

Interactive InstallationDesign and Build: Part 2
Interactive Installation
This interactive design installation was made in collaboration with Zahner Metal Company. It intended to explore spatial qualities, and interactions with students. Instead of just being a metal facade, it became an outdoor space that could be inhabitated and occupied. Wooden benches were designed to be cohesive with the metal part of the installation, and with intentions to draw students to use the benches on breaks in-between classes. Due to the intention to make the benches out of wood - in order to be more comfortable to sit on, more cost effi cient and to contrast the metal fi ns behind it - the greatest challenge was how to make the wood bend.
Cutting perforations in the wood, in an overlapping pattern, weakened the wood to the point of allowing it to bend, yet not letting the wood break.
Four profiles were customized for each chair that made up the bench. These were then attached to each other by a 2”x2” wood stud that slid through a notch in all four profiles.
29
The back support of the chairs was the metal fin structure. It was a self-supporting structure due to the curving s-shape of the installation.
30
Perforations were designed on the half of the installation that Zahner manufactured. The pattern of perforation patterns were horizontal strips - to mimic those found on the benches - and the pattern was determined by a Grasshopper (plugin for Rhino) definition.
31
LED strip lighting was incorporated into the design and were attached to the inside of each fi n, controlled by an ARDUINO chip. This chip allowed the lights to dim as the natrual light brightened. Eventually turning off during the day.

Glassblowing WorkshopDowntown Lawerence, KS
Glassblowing Workshop
The site of this glassblowing workshop is downtown Lawrence, KS, right off of the main street. This is a very walkable and pedestrian friendly area, so the pulsing facade is meant to activate the buidling and engage people at the pedestrian level. The ‘movement’ in the facade is also meant to refl ect the quality of heated glass - how the form constantly changes as it is heated and formed. The walls move in and out at different intervals to create this appearance of being in motion and changing.

The second floor has a mostly opaque facade in order to maintain the privacy of the residence above. The majority of the light in the residence comes from indirect light.
35
North Elevation
Level One
When the brick wall is pushed out, this creates opportunities for indirect light to enter the building, or an opening - such as a door - to occur.
The facade is the most transparent on the lower level, this is to activate the building at the pedestrian level, and also to allow for the shop inside to display the works of art that have been made in the glassblowing studio.
36
Public LibraryDowntown Lawerence, KS
The site of this Library is downtown Lawrence, KS, right off of the main street. Since this is a very walkable and pedestrian friendly area, the goal of the design was to create an open and inviting space. This library is open both to the outside plaza designed around it, as well as an open interior with atrium spaces that cut through all the fl oors and connect them visually. This creates a very dynamic interior and exterior space.The use of heavy and light architectural materials on the exterior is used to represent the functions happening in that part of the building. For examp;le, the heavier elements conceal more private parts of the building, while the windows reveal the public areas.

Ruins’ Protective CoverProtecting the Pecos Ruins inNew Mexico
Ruins’ Protective Cover
� e Pecos Ruins are located near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Subject to weathering and harm from the outdoor elements, this project was meant to create an enclosure that would preserve the site.� is is a long span metal structure that uses tinsel construction. � e steel frames are a series of un� nished arches, that are able to resist the force of gravity by the wires that are in tension and anchored to into the earth behind them. Draping across the structure is an earth tone polyseter fabric. � e structure is designed to be mound shaped and give the appearance of emerging from the Earth to hold and protect the ruins.
