BLERIOT EXHIBITION

LOCATION: WICHITA, KANSAS

SQUARE FEET: 36,780

COLLABORATED WITH ABBY KAHRHOFF

Welcome to the Bleriot Exhibit, a tribute to the pioneering aviator Louis Bleriot and a celebration of aviation history and innovation. Inspired by Bleriot’s significant influence on aviation, our design incorporates elements that pay homage to his legacy while embracing modern architectural concepts.

Louis Bleriot, a visionary aviator, served as a muse for our project. His groundbreaking use of lightweight materials inspired generations of pilots, including Wichita’s very own Cessna, who replicated and analyzed Bleriot’s design to create the iconic Silver Wing plane. Bleriot’s impact on the aviation community remains influential to this day, making it impossible to overlook his contributions when envisioning today’s modern planes.

One of the key aspects of our concept revolves around the contrasting use of materials. The overall layout of the museum is thoughtfully organized to create a harmonious flow and

connection between spaces. The Bleriot Exhibit stands as a testament to the visionary spirit of Louis Bleriot and the lasting impact of his contributions on aviation. We invite you to immerse yourself in the marvels of aviation history, as we bring together the past and the present in a tribute that fosters appreciation for the pioneers of flight.

Located in downtown Wichita, the proposed building embraces the city’s unique patchwork of diverse architectural styles, adding a vibrant touch to an area primarily dominated by parking garages. Designed as a transformative community center, the building encompasses a wide range of functions, offering a seamless blend of public amenities and living spaces. It hosts a much-needed grocery store, diverse retail spaces, and a vibrant library, fostering a hub of engagement and interaction for the neighborhood. The design concept revolves around creating a dynamic cluster of sections, thoughtfully separated by public and private spaces, ensuring an engaging experience for both occupants and passersby. The building’s orientation is carefully considered to offer captivating views of the cityscape from both inside and outside, making it an attractive and immersive destination. At the front entry, a welcoming courtyard greets visitors, adorned with greenery and providing a delightful space to enjoy the outdoors.

This multifunctional and inclusive community center aims to liven up downtown Wichita, serving

as a beacon of connection and opportunity for all its inhabitants. The main focus is a cluster of sections of the building that are separated by public and private vicinities. The building is oriented in a way to create views for the person experiencing the site, on the inside and outside. The program of the structure will be on a grid layout since the design is mainly layered, so as to not distract from the textures that are seen on the inside and outside.

SITE ANALYSIS

In my design process for the community center project in downtown Wichita, I immersed myself in watercolor studies of the surrounding buildings to gain insights into the neighborhood’s architectural fabric. These studies informed my material selections, ensuring a cohesive integration with the existing context. By deliberately positioning the entrance on the right corner, the design draws visitors’ views towards this focal point.
