HASKELL NATIVE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY CULTURAL CENTERSUMMER 2014 - LAWRENCE, KS
Haskell Indian Nations University, located in Law-rence, KS, was established in 1884 as a boarding school for Native American children. Over the decades the school as grown with its student population and is now a thriving university with number of degree options and over a hundred dif-
ferent Native American nations represented. With such a rich and complicated history as well as a diverse Native American population, the univer-sity struggles to create an identity for it’s self as well as promoting its culture.For this studio, I was given the challenge of de-
signing a new Cultural Center for the University. The center would be comprised of a series of art galleries, support for the museum space such as storage, prepping, and administration. There would also be a research library, auditorium and three classrooms.

South Elevation-Interior Courtyard
North Elevation - Front Entrance
West Elevation-Exterior Perimeter
The building is arranged in a square with a large opening on the west elevation into the courtyard. The different architectural expressions give a clear indication of the different programs through-out the building. The main entrance is signified by a large circular rotunda (rendered to the right) that brings in lots of daylight and access to the auditorium, library, classrooms and galleries as well as access out to the courtyard.
Entrance Rotunda looking into the courtyard
Above: A section perspective looking East. This shows the relation between the Tower to the courtyard and art gallery over to the entrance rotunda. The building encompasses the courtyard to create an engaging place for students to hang-out and relax as well as for classes to take advantage of the biology of the prairie grasses planted there.Left: This render shows the main hallway access to the art galleries, which are located on he East side of the building. The hallway allows for an ample amount of daylight to be filtered into the gallery as well as an area for visitors to rest and enjoy the art and courtyard.
AMELIA EARHART MUSEUMSUMMER 2014 - ATCHINISON, KSThe existing Amelia Earhart Birthplace museum is located on a bluff above the Missouri River in Atchison, KS. Built in 1861, the gothic revival style house has been home to several families, but it has remained relatively unchanged since its addi-tion to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It has functioned as a museum since 1984,
and remains an integral part of a historically significant neighborhood that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002Located directly across the street from the exist-ing museum, the site of our new addition would prove to be both topographically and contextual-ly challenging. From the beginning, it was deemed
extremely important to not disrupt the neighbors’ views of the river. It was also important to de-velop some form of dialogue between the old mu-seum and the new addition. My proposal pushed the majority of the program into the hillside with entry pavilion as well as a skylight the only struc-tural features visible from the street.

The entrance pavilion sits directly across from the existing house. The pavilion houses Amelia’s Electra Vega replica plane. I wanted visitors to be able to stand at the existing house and look out over the bluff and imagine they were Amelia as a child and how she may have imagined herself flying this plane. The second plane in the museum is housed on the lower floor in a large glass atrium looking out towards the river. As you move through the museum there are moments of compression and decompression. I wanted the planes to be placed in large open and airy places to give them a feeling of being free and fly-ing.

Site Section Cut Looking North
Above is the Lockheed Vega displayed in the large atrium space overlooking the river. In this view you can see how the building creates compression and decompression as you move through it. I have designed curved ledges along the walls for the museum to display artifacts while gently guiding visitors through the museum in an organic movement but man-made movement, just as a plane flys through the sky.

DRAWING ANALYSIS Fall 2010 - MINNEAPOLIS, MNStudents were required to analyze a space in Rapson Hall and formulate an argument through drawings for the design of that space. I chose to study the library on the second floor. I created an argument for the organization of the bookcases that create small study nodes. Each of these study
nodes is also anchored by a wall of channel glass. The channel glass creates a strong sense of a study area by allowing ample natural light into the space during the day while refraining from distracting views. During the evening when students are still studying late, the channel glass gives a glowing
effect from the exterior. I represented these arguments through two value drawings done with white pencil on black paper and a ensemble of drafting drawings done with pencil on white paper.

FLAT PACK HIGH-TOPFall 2012
An eight week long workshop that focused on the design and fabrication of a prototype furniture piece of our choice. I chose to build a 3’ tall high-top island table for my own kitchen. I designed this
table to rely solely on friction for the surfaces to wedge onto the trapezoid shaped legs. The design also allows for the table to be easily disassembled and transported flat. I used 1 1/2” tubular steel
for the base and a 3”x1” hardwood maple with a Danish oil finish for the top surfaces.
(AD)DRESSING THE BODY Spring 2010Precedent study of a building envelope, that analyzed its basic principles of the envelope, then translated and applied those principles to the design of a 100% paper jacket, based on Tenerefie Concert Hall by Santiago Calatrava located in the Canary Islands. I chose this building because of its
unique curving shape, use of volcanic stone, and exotic location. I highlighted the iconic symbolism of the structure as well as the use of volcanic stone. The primary paper sewn construction of the jacket represented the hidden structure of the building.
The jacket was chosen as “Best in Class” out of over a hundred other students as well as published in the University of Minnesota College of Design Journal, THERE.
OKLAHOMA CITY CORE TO SHORE & CONVENTION CENTER Fall 2013 - OKLAHOMA CITY, OK Partners: Jeff Swiontkowski, Patrick Begley, & Clara Guimard
Oklahoma City is in the process of revitalizing its urban infrastructure reaching from the downtown core to the shore of the Oklahoma River. Our task was to repropose the urban plan for the “Core to Shore” plan while staying
within the guidelines and requirements put in place by the RFQ. Secondly, we were to develop a new convention center on a chosen site at the edge of the “Core to Shore” plan by following at strict set of guidelines pertaining to square
footage, service access, large public spaces and a connection to the new central garden. We finished the project with a project proposal presentation to “win” the project, in which my group won the proposal.

Convention Center Site Plan
My team’s approach was to create a dense urban infrastructure with a variety of nodes that connected residents from the downtown core to a revitalized Oklahoma River shore. We proposed an entertainment district (1) leading into a new central park flanked by a restored depot that would serve as farmer’s market (2) and festival grounds for the city. From there we decided to bridge over I-40 (3) to make for an easier and more welcoming transition to the neighborhood beyond.On the other side of I-40 you are welcomed by a community center with sports courts (4) for the surrounding neighborhoods. The spine continues down a pedestrian street (5) that is lined with vegetation, retail and supporting services. The procession ends at the Oklahoma River, in which we proposed a regenerated beach front (6) with access to non-motarized water activities.

Above: A rendering of the large rooftop garden area on the second level. This garden area is connected to the new Central Park as well as Myriad Gardens via a pedestrian bridge. The garden space can be accessed by convention center attendees, hotel guest as well as OKC residents. The expansive space allows for a range of activities from art festivals to yoga classes.
Left: The convention center is three levels with different leasable spaces on each level. We start with the exhibition hall on the first level moving up to meeting rooms on the second level. The second level also has access to two different outdoor roof gardens, allowing for outdoor relief for convention center goers. Finally on the third level is the ballroom. The third level allows for the best views of Devon Tower and Myriad Gardens as well as for the opportunity for a private outdoor garden.

TIMBER TOWER & SECRET CORD VIOLIN SHOPFall 2014 - KANSAS CITY, MO
Located in downtown Kansas City, MO, the Timber Tower and Secret Cord is a newly built mass timber construction residential and retail tower. The tower is located at the intersection of the Quality Hill and Garment District neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are full
of rich and historic architecture that had a great influence on my overall design. The base of the tower, The Secret Cord, is a violin shop, two studio practice spaces and luthiery workshop. The upper tower is comprised of a mix of studio, 1,2, and 3 bedroom apartments as
well as a Penthouse Suite. There are two outdoor greenspaces, a public level on the 3rd floor that can be used for performances for the violin shop and a private-residents only area on the 6th floor with planter boxes around the perimeter.
Exterior rendering from 10th street
I designed the elevations of the Timber Tower to have clean elegant lines. The exterior facade of the building is wrapped in a dark zinc with vertical stand-ing seams. To hint at the timber construction on the interior, I applied a wood paneling facade wherever massing was taking from the building. I chose to angle in the front entrance to mimic many historical building entrances in the area as well as a way to draw people in. This same design treatment is reflect-ed on the upper tower windows as well. The slender glass tower is designed to highlight the vertical movement through the building and create a unique separate entrance for the residents of the tower.
South Elevation East Elevation
North Elevation West Elevation
The first two levels of the tower are occupied by The Secret Cord. The front of the building is comprised of a double height retail space with perimeter catwalks. Moving back there are two levels of studio practice space. In the back of the building is the workshop that is also a two stories with an open balcony layout. Levels 3 through 5 are made up of studio, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments. The apartments are designed to stack similar from one floor to the next. The Penthouse Suite takes of the top floor with two outdoor patio spaces.

The structure of my building is composed of Crossed Laminated Timbers (CLT) walls and floors as well as Glulam columns and beams. To play on Louis Sul-livan’s historic tripard building designs, I decided to have my structure broken down into three different systems to represented the retail, residential and penthouse levels. The retail area is constructed mainly of 5-layer CLT walls on the perimeter as well as intermittently through-out and supported by glulams to created more open spaces. The residential levels are composed of a glulam beam and column system and finally the Penthouse is composed of all three elements with

To the left is a full building wall section of the Timber Tower. I have used a special steel collar system to join the glulam columns to the glulam beams. I chose to pull my upper floor walls away from the struc-tural columns to allow them to be expressed individually and celebrated for their beauty.In my wall system have created highly insulated layers in order to achieve a Passive House Standard R-Value rating.
