01 | WDC Phase IV Play works EOP Project Team: Brent Bruner, Design Principal Ben Simmons, Project Manager Andrew Meyer, Project Designer Landscape Team: MKSK An extension of the Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current waterfront park, Playworks is the fourth phase of the park system connecting the downtown spaces to West Louisville. EOP Architects and MKSK Landscape Architecture collaborated to develop a truly unique experience of building and playground laced together. EOP was tasked with designing a 3,000 SF event building that would host birthdays and other small events at the site of the playground. The goal for the building was to be as playful as the playground itself, however, the location of the project site being so close to the river presented the design team with flooding issues. This called for the use of durable materials, spefically, concrete, glass, and metal. With a limited material palette, EOP decided to put emphasis on the roof amd walls to draw attention away from some of the heavier materials. Angle walls and roof continue across the site and continue to pop up in certain moments on the playground. Perforated metal panels were also used to help conceal louvers in the wall that would allow water to flow out if flooding occurs. Pops of color were added all around the site to catch attention of the visitors and distract from the highway overpass above.

02 | Jeffersonville Apar tments EOP Project Team: Rick Ekhoff, Design Principal Kevin Gough, Project Manager Andrew Meyer, Project Designer

Sitting on the bank of the Ohio River, the Jeffersonville Apartment building had some unique issues to work around due to its location near the water. Not only was the location of the water an issue, but also the property had a flood wall running right down the middle. to solve the issue of the flood wall, the entire building was lifted approximately 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to hover above the barrier. The clients for the project asked for a unit count of 105 with including options for studio, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom units. The property lines for the site and the regulations for the flood wall presented some challenges that we had to work through to find consistency when designing the units. It lead to a few additional unit configurations, but it was succesful in maintaining features across those configurations. The design team was also tasked with developing condos for the river-front site. The shapes of the roofs were use not only to visually connect the separate units, but were also used as an ode the Ohio River.

ACADEMIC

04 | S take Commonwealth Studio Andrew Meyer, Editor In the spring of 2018, University of Kentucky’s College of Design introduce the first thesis studio into the architecture program. Dubbed the Commonwealth Studio, the challenge for individuals was to produce a thesis project based on challenges faced within the Commonwealth of Kentucky and how design can help. With a playful gesture towards the culture of the state, the studio publication was named ‘Stake’, but also as a gesture towards what is at stake if we don’t start to look at these issues. ‘Stake’ is the culmination of our thoughts as individuals to a product as a collective.

05 | Lexington Visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Center Our approach looks at the site as the new center for downtown Lexington. The project integrates the promotion of local and regional Kentucky culture through the arts, food, and education. The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program includes a local restaurant, gallery space for area artists, and classrooms for nearby schools. All age groups are considered with programming such as a coffee shop, amphitheater, classrooms, galleries, event space, and outdoor park space. The entry level, ground level, and outdoor space will be made accessible 24/7 to encourage constant interaction with local residents and passers-by. The design focuses on connection in multiple facets and scales by connecting pedestrian pathways leading to the University and upgrading existing connections to the Main Street corridor. Visitors will be linked to events, being informed on where and how to get to places through an interactive map, and also be able to participate in activities on site. Local residents can come back to the site repeatedly for events, food, and leisure in the heart of downtown. Design will encourage connection from the university to downtown through development of the MLK Boulevard. A new city center such as this will host events to bring people downtown, as well as connect those same people to all the wonderful things Lexington, KY has to offer throughout the entire city. Any construction on the site will focus on sustainable approaches to design. This will be done through many aspects of architecture such as passive lighting strategies, active controls to maintain comfortable temperatures, and even renewable ways of generating energy on site. Water conservation will also be pursued in order to create a better park, as well as to connect with the new Town Branch Commons project that will pass through the site. Solar energy will be harnessed to generate power for active HVAC systems, and be incorporated in the canopy to provide shading. Health factors for those who occupy the space are to be considered through finishes selected, hours of natural light in spaces, and factors of human comfort. Using a cut and fill strategy, the dirt and foundations can be reused from the building site for the new outdoor space. This innovative approach to design will permit a healthy, fun, and active space for both visitors and local residents of Lexington at all times of the year.

06 | New York Cit y Public Librar y The project began with a series of study models exploring the combination of “hard” and “soft” materials. What was found was unique, weird conditions that were both spatial and formal at various scales. The techniques used for these study models were wrapping and tying off embroidery mesh onto itself, then pouring plaster or placing into molds to produce negatives, or pouring epoxy to develop a more transparent representation. Conditions produced at a micro-scale became drivers for both programmtic and spatail diagrams, without representing the study models too literally. After the study models, a narrative was produced based on one series of study models. It was an attempt to translate the study model to different scales from human scale, to building scale, to urban scale. The New York City Public Library became an opportunity to develop the narrative and study models into building program at large scale. A basic rectilinear tower was produced that was then manipulated by programmtic spaces by wrapping soft bodies around the rigid volume. The soft bodies produced a combination of reading spaces, study spaces, general meeting areas, and storage, while circulation and open volume concentrate near the center of the building.

In the heart of Paristown Pointe, governmental buildings sat nearly vacant on a twelve acre site. The studio spoke with the neighbors in order to grasp what they imagined the space could become and what types of programmatic spaces would takeover the now vacant site. After several meetings and discussions in Louisville with both Paristown Pointe residents and city officials, we programmed the site to integrate sustainable features, future transportation options, and healthy lifestyle site features. Our studio proposed that the site would contain space for local retail and restaurants, residential, hybrid office and parking, library and educational facility, and outdoor park space and farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market. Our residential building sat atop the retail spaces along Barret Avenue and Breckinridge Street. The massings became an attempt to replicate the familiar shotgun house with a contemporary take in opening the sides up to daylighting to provide more light. To create a variety of units, vertical volumes were added to the shotgun units to develop 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units to accommodate both families and single persons. 65

08 | Ar tistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s S tudio Home

Given the urban context, the project was to develop a home and studio for an artist of our choice. The site is stuated on the edge of a river sharing a wall with a 30â&#x20AC;&#x2122; high building, with similar height buildings adjacent to the site. Developed initially through sketch models, the driver for the project was a combination of contradicting shapes. Omar Rodriquez-Graham was the artist I chose. is work consists of abstract scupltures that then become still-life paintings. He combines objects turning them into a unique composition. By combining a sliding a box into a cylinder, unwrapping and extending the cylinder, the house was able to be divided into three levels for specific program. Level one for studio, level two for living, and level three for sleeping. By dividing each level to these program functions, it allowed for views from each to the river while remaining private on the western street side.

09 | Primitive Dwelling As a theme for the semester, the studio looked at the necessity of human form in architecture, at both human scale and building scale. Initial developments came from documenting positions encapturing a human standing in someway,or lying in some way. Following the initial positions, conceptual ideas were developed for how each position could translate to spatial conditions. The idea of an “embrace” became the driving idea and the intent was to develop a structure to hold someone in the lying position as a way of embracing them, in a nurturing way. The challenge was to construct a full-scale model using a 4’ x 8’ sheet of plywood without wasting any of the material. Using the idea of an embrace, the initial form was developed through a series sketch models. After the sketch models and early drawings, we teamed together for the full-scale build to connect two separate projects, one standing and one lying. Is tested us to redesign and continue to develop pieces of our projects into one, singular model that would then be constructed at full scale. The second half of the semester was spen on the project ‘Primitive Dwelling.’ Taking the knowledge from the first project and applying it at a larger scale, the question of how basic shelter can provide space for necessary movement and activity. Drumming became an action that developed a set of drawings exploring potential spatial conditions from a set of points of actions.
