During my time at BRR Architecture, I have been involved in the design development, production, and permitting of nearly 30 theatre renovations and a couple new builds. Our studio manages projects from conception to final construction handling all aspects of client and contractor coordination along the way. My responsibilities have included photographing and sketching existing conditions and replicating them digitally, leading small teams in construction document production, independently managing multiple projects simultaneously, and coordinating drawings and details with consultants. With B my help, ourFLOOR team has in the past 2 years PLAN transitioned AREA the'B' document production from AutoCAD to Revit.

I worked together with other graphic professionals at the firm to develop presentation standards consistent with the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals. Results from these efforts have greatly reduced render and production times while increasing the quality and consistency of our imagery. A few examples can be found on these pages.

AMC Esquire, located in St. Louis, was originally constructed in the 1920s and is one of AMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest. Because of this, special consideration was taken to preserve and showcase the historic nature of the building. My role was in early design and all illustration packages.

DESIGN OPTION FOR STORE ENTRY - ARLINGTON, VA

Within my studio, I was able to apply my skills to a variety of project types. On page 10 you see a small portion of the nearly 100 lease outline drawings I was tasked with producing. These projects were low-budget trips to tenant spaces all over the country which would often require a quick turnaround. Not only was I consistently able to stay well under budget, I also was afforded the opportunity to travel all over the US. Total Wine has been another client which I have produced graphics for. In addition to final renderings and architectural review board submittals, I have also been involved with material research, schematic design, design SCOPE OF WORK development and documentation. • REMOVE BRICK AND TILE AT ENTRANCE •

skolkovo technopark

VALODE + PISTRE ARCHITECTES

Skolkovo is the realization of a 5 district village to the west of Moscow. Its purpose is to act as a new research capital to draw talent and corporations to Russia. Working alongside international architects such as Herzog & De Meuron, Kazayo Sejima, David Chipperfield, OMA etc, V+P was responsible for coordination of the vast 130,000mÂ˛ technopark research facilities and planning the residential development within the second district. Coordinating with ARUP, I also helped develop transportation corridors through the district as well as schematic design of the roof and exterior facades.

RENDERING BY V+P ARCHITECTES

15 The idea for the roof was to initally to reflect the existing land below on the roof. This evolved into a fragmented green roof with bridges providing interior courtyards below. The facade was fully parametric and easily edited once complete. It was grounded by the laboratory layout within the complex.

RENDERING BY V+P ARCHITECTES

While at V+P, I worked on a sprawling exposition park in El Jadida, Morocco. My role on this project was to design and develop the layout of the streetscape according to the client’s concerns. I also set up the initial Revit model for the project which culminated in the renderings you see. I was able to work on construction documents for a new shopping development in Bordeaux (above left).

RENDERING BY V+P ARCHITECTES

Sainte Catherine Au Couer is a shopping development in the heart of historic Bordeaux. Patrons follow the narrow streets in the district to the new square built around a sunken basin meant to evoke an ancient port. The golden “totem” overlooks the plaza. The new construction, though contemporary uses local materials to integrate into the surrounding historic fabric. I worked alongside a team to produce construction documents in Revit.

marvin hall addition

2011 UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Sitting on one of the tallest points in Kansas, the Addition to the school of Architecture and Design acts as a meeting place for art and archtecture students to learn and collaborate. Replacing a parking lot and a small, student built architecture building, the new building shines on the exterior as a symbol of university pride and cutting edge design which often embody the mindset of the school; whereas the interior of the courtyard is much more pragmatic and intimate utilizing local limestones to mirror the symbolic Marvin Hall. The exterior curved face displays the primary circulation through the space fusing Art and Design with Marvin Hall.

The curved double skin to the south is designed to allow for increased airflow over the roof which, by using operable windows, draws air into the space cooling the building naturally. A green roof and gardens insulate every studio keeping them warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

chicago opera BB

2010 UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 14

3 10

KEY

This semester challenged me to design a Level new Entry Lobby world-class opera house for the city of Chicago BB with a grand plaza which would be the culmination of the famous river walk. The building’s form is derived from a study of premier opera houses the world over; the north facade abstracted from a boat’s hull, the south a modern interpretation of the classic Vienna Opera style. Its glass facade faces north allowing for tremendous views of the iconic skyline and plaza from multiple balcony levels and a rooftop restaurant. The rest of the building is wrapped in a semitransparent metal screen which modulates interior light an is intermittently punctuated on the exterior by the light of galleries and studios beyond.

EXPLODED AXONOMETRIC

Spatial planning was crucial to end up with a functional design; therefore, as evidenced in the plans, the room layout changes from strictly regimented in the back of house to accomodate services directly related to production of theatrical performances to a more organic interface on the public face. Guest services are available from nearly every floor allowing easy access for patrons between acts.

flow installation

2010 DESIGN + BUILD STUDIO

Flow is the result of multiple studies on the wind and water around an area known as the West Bottoms. The site is constantly windswept and sits behind a levee along the final stretch of river before the Kansas becomes the Missouri. The design you see is a reaction to this pattern of natural forces. Made from reclaimed cedar, the structure is immensely heavy, yet appears light as a feather and due to the moray effect it seems to dance and mingle with the trees across the river.

HISTORIC STOCK YARD EXCHANGE BUILDING BEYOND

PRAIRIE GRASSLAND

BENCH ARTICULATION

This was my first experience with an actual client. An aging cattleman and land developer, Bill Haw wanted a project that would be an ephemeral monument to prairie life and a symbol of renewal for the defunct West Bottoms, a flood plain at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. Sitting below Downtown Kansas City, the area used to house the Kansas City Stockyards which, in their prime, were only rivaled by Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

ROOF ARTICULATION

The form (though solid) is meant to evoke the native prairie grasses which are burned every year. Using mostly unskilled labor, our studio was able to construct each individual piece and place them according to a detailed set of plans also produced by members of our studio. As my first group project, I learned a lot about working alongside a team and using individual strengths in unison to complete the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal.
