Anjelica Chase

Profile As an architecture student I have learned the need for design that impacts our world in an eco-friendly and creative way. Growing up as a Military and State Department child, I’ve been raised in multiple cultures and countries. Due to this, I believe that architecture is the foundation​ to understanding d ​ ifferent cultures and is the link between different countries. I am a quick learner and am looking to further experience making designs more sustainable. I am looking to further my architectural studies by working in a firm that offers hospitality and social justice designs.

Ludlow Garden Complex

Ludlow Garden Complex

This project site was based on a current parking lot located between Ludlow Ave and Howell Ave in Clifton Cincinnati, Ohio. The current site is actually being transformed from the parking lot to a multifamily complex. Our goal was to provide different examples to show the community of Clifton as well as the developers. The existing plaza was to not be touched but to extend into and become part of our development. The site had a slope starting at Ludlow Ave dropping to Howell Ave a total of 26 feet.

The idea for my design of the apartment complex was based on creating community spaces for not just the residents of the complex but the neighbors around Clifton. Through calling the complex Ludlow Garden I decided that a community park would be a great addition to the already growing plants on the facades. Through extending the existing plaza and connecting to the plaza with the Clifton Community Arts Center and the commercial spaces allows for the community to enjoy the public spaces the development has to offer.

The Next Door project is located in Nashville. The Next Door Program helps to rehabilitate women coming out of prison so they can become reintegrated into society and avoid situations that would go against their probation. My given site was located on McGavock Street. My design incorporated urban design skills along with my architectural skills. Perspective of indoor and outdoor Dining

Za’atari Refugee Camp

The Za’Atari studio lead by Diane Fellows consisted of multiple different projects while working with the IRD (International Relief and Development) and the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) throughout the semester. We constantly skyped with the Za’Atari IRD leader to find out what we could do for them. The main area of work that was provided for the refugee camp was the playground and soccer field redesign. Through constant research of understanding children in crisis and to how these refugee children needed some type of distraction from the tragedy they have incurred. Through our research we also skyped with Dr. Aala El-Khani who had given a Ted Talk about children in trauma. The overall experience of this studio was very rewarding not only on my behalf but for the children and the people within Za’Atari.

- New Locker Rooms Sizes: 11.6m x 6.4m, 7.3m x 3m, and 11.6m x 5.2m - Creating Privacy within Locker Rooms - New Bathroom Sizes: 3.7m x 4.4m, 3m x 7.9m, and 3m x 7.3m - Shrinking the Futbol Field in Order to Create General Seating which Acted as a Privacy Barrier Between the Field and Playground Areas - New Playground Configuration - Shading Devices Implemented

Through looking at different iterations of locker rooms and bathrooms, we were able to offer the IRD three options in sizing and placement. This was the best choice and most favorable by the IRD.

Locker Room Sizes 38’ x 17’=11.6m x5.2m Bathroom Sizes 12’ x 14.5’ = 3.7m x 4.4m

Ghana Design Build

Ghana study abroad summer of 2016, a group of 16 students went to Ghana, Africa where we met with the village of Essiam outside of Cape Coast. After being thrown a ceremony we met with the elders and chiefs and went over their needs and wants for a community center in the heart of their village. Upon our travels throughout Ghana we teamed up into groups and designed our ideas for a community center. In the end, my team’s design was chosen with slight changes to the design, and for the next four weeks the students and 14 workers from the village worked together to build the community center.
