The Newman Brothers Coffin Works was a factory located in Birmingham, UK in the historic Jewellery Quarter. The company fabricated coffins until 2001 when it closed its operation due to globalization and the companys inability to upgrade its machinery and infrastructure. Notable people, such as Winston Churchill and Princess Diana, have had their remains placed in Newman Brothers Coffins. The building is approximately 12,000 S.F. in size and is a masonry walled and timber framed building featuring a large central courtyard. The objective for this project was to adapt the factory into an innovation-based headquarters building for a digital company, i.e.: a building for Google, Apple, or Wolfram while at the same time adhering to the English Heritages Standards for Conservation. The program for the building was left up to each student as there is no definitive standard for a modern tech office space. This specific proposal includes a small heritage museum and seminar space as well as an assortment of office types that appeal to a

wide variety of people that may be emplyed with the company. 4

The area shall be provided with a safe and unobstructed path of travel from the building.

Courtyard is less than 36 wide to party wall therefore it is not a permitable safe egress area

Due to site size limitations, all exits must discharge to public way

Alpha Rho Chi () is a professional co-educational college fraternity for students studying architecture and related professions. The fraternitys name is derived from the first three letters of the Greek word for architecture, . It was founded in 1914 by Leo M. Bauer and Chandler C. Cohagen in Chicago, IL. The first two chapters to be installed were Anthemios and Iktinos. Anthemios is located at the University of Illinois in Champaign while Iktinos is located at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. As of 2014 there are 27 active chapters throughout the United States and the fraternity expanding to even more schools around the country. The Anthemios Chapter House was built between 1927-1931 by locally renowned architect Joseph William Royer. The house is modeled after the Red House in Bexleyheath,

England and has Arts and Crafts Influence. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

The building was documented in the fall semesters of 2013 and 2014 by a team of graduate students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the leadership of Paul Hardin Kapp, Associate Professor of Architecture. The team members are as follows: Yolanda Baez Batista, Corey Buss, Jennifer Chorosevic, Allison Gloudie, Steven Lentz, Raphal Lescure, Elaine OMara, Carl Rappa, Aqeel Shhaib, Samantha Tumey, and Christopher Woollard (2013). Dana Burgess,

Nancy A. Edwards, David Fleming, Catherine Ferrari, Greg Morse, Muhammad Taimur, and Kelly Valin (2014).

These drawings are a selection of the 16-sheet set that were submitted for the Peterson Prize in May 2015 and will be archived at the Library of Congress.

Lakeside Chicago is a 700 acre masterplan for a development located south of Downtown Chicago. The site was once home to U.S. Steels South Works Mill. The masterplan for the site has been developed by SOM and as of 2010, phase one has been approved. The scope for this project was to masterplan the area adjacent to the canal slip at the center of the site.The district is mixed-use with residential and commercial spaces. The program also called for a transport hub which

provided access to the elevated train system that services the City of Chicago.

The concept for this proposal relies heavily on the idea of connectivity and pedestrian access. Connecting the parks located to the north and the south by an elevated green space that was woven among the buildings allowed for the

seperation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic while at the same time connecting the entire site.

This project was developed in partnership with Jacob Stellwagen.

Conference CenterConveniently located next to the transportation hub and landmark hotel, the conference center is a large venue for the showcasing of innovations developed in the research park of Lakeside and around the world.

Community PlazaTransportation hub filters into plaza. Uses change with the season and is active all year around. Has shops and restaurants along with many community events.

Electric Rail LineComes through the district from the east heading north which allows for commuters to access their offices/homes with greater ease. Supported by the ore-wall and incorporates the history of the site into the design of the stations.

Commercial DistrictsPotential occupants include fine dining, art studios, micro brewery, boutiqes, large retail, and much more. Plaza connecting the various commercial buildings encourage foot traffic rather than vehicular traffic.

Canal BridgesBridges connect the two sides of the canal. More bridges allow for greater connectivity. Bridges have multiple levels to seperate the vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Residential DistrictConnected with the greenway and a great deal of retail. Elevated greenway connects residential district with all of Lakeside so it is possible to reach any other building by foot.

The Native American House located on the University of Illinois Campus serves as a support resource for all students and the community. They offer many educational, cultural, and social events and programs tailored about Native American culture, people, and current events. Their program has experienced significant growth in recent years and as a result, they are running out

of room in their current building.

The site chosen for this project is located on an empty spot of land that is southwest of the main quad. The program for the building called for a multi-function space that has classrooms, auditorium, event hall, and office space for the faculty and staff in the Native American Studies program. Special attention was paid to the culture and beliefs of the Native People. The driving force behind the design stemmed from the importance of the sun in Native American religious

beliefs.

Inspirational Quote:The light of the sun enlightens the entire universe, and as the flames of the sun come to us in the morning, so comes the grace of Wakan Tanka, by which all creatures are enlightened. It is because of this that the four-leggeds and the wingeds always rejoice at the coming of the light. We can all see in the day, and this seeing is sacred for it represents the sight of that real world

which we may have through the eye of the heart. -Black Elk

The Argonne National Laboratory master plan sprawls over 1,700 acres. Because the campus is closed, the only way to be granted access is to check in at the main gate house which is located on the northern edge of campus. Since the site for the Energy Science Research Facility is also at the northern edge, it is the first building that will be seen upon entering campus. It will be the front door of Argonne National Laboratory and as such, it needs to be a beautifully impressive building. It will be home to offices, state of the art laboratories, and large conference spaces. With its location, the facility

is to be the capstone of the new Energy Science Quad that Argonne intends on creating.

Argonne National Laboratorys main goal is to improve life for all those that work on campus. They intend to make the campus more pedestrian friendly by moving parking lots that are currently in the middle to the outer edges and creating

walking paths that connect a majority of buildings on campus especially along the Energy Science Quad.

This project was developed in partnership with Tyler Ruckman, Justin Hodde, and Kait Johnson.

The site and Energy Science Research Facility is the first build-ing other than the gatehouse seen upon entering campus

Being the front door to the Ar-gonne campus, the Energy Sci-ence Research Facility needs to capture the visitors to the facility

Occupants must be able to move through the multiple zones as they please with-out disturbing the sensitive research being conducted

The Kickapoo State Park Research Center is a dual function research station. It is to house two researchers that work in Kickapoo State Park while at the same time allowing them to observe and study their natural surroundings without having to venture too far from home base. Being situated on a steep slope overlooking High Pond in the park, the occupants are given the feeling of floating above the world around them and are awarded 360o views of their surroundings. The house is constructed with warren trusses, concrete decking, and glass walls. The idea was to make the building as transparent as possible by only having opaque walls where absolutely necessary (such as the bedroom divider wall and around the bathroom). This unique structure and the

transparency of the walls allow for the researchers to immerse themselves in their research.
