PORTFOLIO ARCHITECTURE

ASHLEY MALONEY

Hello,

I’m currently a fourth-year student at Kennesaw State University. This portfolio is a collection of my favorite academic works I have done so far. I enjoy architecture as a medium where I can express my love for art and design that is also still technical; where I can stay true to myself but also try to understand and learn how to create a functional building in all aspects.

THE SHARDS

Location: Atlanta, GA

Building Use: Community

Year: 2022

This project focused on crystalline growth in the urban condition. With the Crystal Arena on the west and the Midtown School of Film on the east, the structures serve as portals that encourage new densities throughout the program. The program seeks to connect various communities by creating a bridge between the dense morphology of Midtown with the less dense Georgia Tech and Home Park neighborhoods.

Block Plan

The massing is inspired by organic crystalline structures which are represented through the urban grid. The urban grid displays overlapping directionality through its layout which motivated the creation of varying views. The concept of crystalline structures also inspires movement through the building using experiential moments.

STEM BUILDING

Location: Marietta, GA

Building Use: Education

Year: 2022

This project is a new STEM building for the growing population of Kennesaw State University on the Marietta Campus. The aim of the project was to create more learning facilities on campus while also creating a lounge for students to come and relax at school. The exterior facade is made from ceramic panels that were inspired by legos. The colors of the facade are based on the seven major programs in the building. The reference to legos represents the STEM programs which are the building blocks of the Marietta Campus. Individual Work

PARK N PAINT

Location: Marietta, GA

Building Use: Multi Use Parking Garage

Year 2021

Park & Paint was designed to break the mold of parking garages. In order to do this, the project would become a symbol of the city’s colorful, creative fabric by making the parking garage look like a piece of art as opposed to a typical parking garage. Similarly to the form of the facade, the artwork displayed on the panels would showcase artists’ work who broke the mold of the art industry by forcing people to think outside of the box.

FF TINY HOUSE

Location: Kennesaw, GA

Building Use: Community

Year 2021

Located on the Kennesaw State University agriculture farm in Austell, Georgia. The farm is rented by the Georgia Department of Transportation. The site is used to do research, hold classes, and grow food for the Agriculture Department. The goal of the project is to design a new and updated office for the site. The office needed to be mobile and remain functional without the presence of essential resources such as water and electricity. It is a 600 sqft trailer with a red exterior to mimic the farmhouses on the site.
