ARRIVAL

Spring 2024 Residential Sustainable Smart Home

645 Sandusky Avenue Kansas City, Kansas

PROJECT SCOPE

Design a sustainable smart home for a multigenerational refugee home for a Nepali family

BACKGROUND

Inspired by the diversity of the neighborhood, Strawberry Hill. Balancing tradition with innovation, passive home strategies support the traditions of older generations while high-tech solutions fulfill the needs of younger household members with moments for togetherness via communal spaces such as areas dedicated to prayer, dining, and gardening

DESIGN GOALS

Grandfather

90-year-old Nepalese Bhutanese refugee who needs low-tech solutions, connection to the community, ability to host friends and family, and a space for prayer

Mother

40-year-old Nepalese Bhutanese refugee who needs low-tech and high-tech solutions, ventilation for cooking oil heavy food, dry good storage and ability to grow produce

Daughter

24-year-old Nepalese American college student who needs high-tech solutions, privacy for studying and technology for homework and employment opportunities

FORM DIAGRAMS

Layering generates unique circulation

Extrusion levels the form

Pressure forms passive lighting techniques

Ideas showcase experimentation with the concept of interwoven, the idea that a household filled with different generations, despite their different warp and weft paths, come together to create a holisitic fabric of culture.

The sustainable aspects of the home follow standards which contribute to a healthy, highly efficient, and economical home while prioritizing human health. LEED and WELL building standards provide a green building and human health centered framework to base mechanical and passive building systems, material choices, and amenities.

Spring 2024 Healthcare Pediatric Clinic

Baltimore, Maryland Group Collaboration

PROJECT SCOPE

Create a pediatric clinic viable for ages 0 to 18-years-old by utilizing a biophilic concept that offers functional design

BACKGROUND

Pulling from the beneficiary relationship between organisms and coral reefs, symbiosis drives decision making within the clinic by supporting the staff and patient relationship with divisions of space, privacy, and fluid wayfinding. Oceanic biophilia provides zoning for sensory overload and offers a cohesive design theme

DESIGN GOALS

PROJECT SCOPE

VARIANCE

Current Education

University Planning

Lawrence, Kansas Group Collaboration

Centralizing the school of Architecture & Design at the University of Kansas and providing technological innovations

BACKGROUND

The school of Architecture & Design requires a new space meant to promote the activity of the school and showcase creative advancements throughout the varying departments within. Within the scope are two renovations to former spaces, Marvin and Chalmers Hall, and a proposed new building through Bjarke Ingels Group, the KUBE. Interviews, surveys, and research were conducted with students and staff to gain insight on current frustrations, workflows and wishes

DESIGN GOALS

Creativity

Facilitate creative processes through design solutions

Connection

Strengthening the relationships of students and faculty of different programs by promoting travel through the three connected buildings

Flexability

Meeting a variety of user needs through adjustable systems and spaces

Technology

Predicting workflow needs by implementing advanced and innovative equipment

Sustainability

Institution focuses on LEED and WELL standards

Arch + D Lounge Revit, Enscape, Photoshop

Transportation Methods Elevation Contour ADA Routes + Pedestrian Circulation

Positives

Unique circulation paths create opportunites to meet other students

Most of architecture and Design is centralized

Good proximity to Bus transportation

Negatives

Accessible entrances are Inconvenient and limited

Disconnected from parking opportunites

ADA stairless route could be more direct to multiple destinations

ADA Accessible Enterance With Opener

This style of bubble diagram was utilized for each of the three buildings within the project’s scope. Spaces were labeled as shared spaces, classroom or lab spaces, utilities, and gallery or pin-up space. Dashed lines represent a direct connection while overlayed circles indicate and inderect connection.

The diagram also applies an expected noise level dependent on activity. Spaces were intentionally organized to separate loud zones from quiet.

Positives

Multiple green spaces in Close proximity to the site

Marvin hall buffers noise pollution for site and chalmers

Good exposure to sun path

Considering higher elevation

Negatives

Higher elevation leads to inclines when accessing site from lower elevations

Close building footprints contribute to venturi effects

Exposure to south sun may Warm interior environments

MARVIN HALL KEY ELEMENTS

Originally established with studio and lab spaces, the proposed renovation of Marvin Hall will the new home for the soft goods lab, a space utilized by design students, in order to facilitate cross-pollunation across varying disciplines. To provide students with accessible professional amenities there is a kitchenette nestled near a hot desk room, intended to be a work zone outside of the traditional studio environment. Other proposed spaces include a computer lab, historic preservation and resilient architecture lab, material library, and flexible classrooms

KUBE KEY ELEMENTS

The KUBE is meant to be an advertisement of the capabilites of Architecture and Design at the University of Kansas. Highlighted spaces within the KUBE include a formal gallery space with video projection technology, digital media posters, and moveable wall systems to hang posters. To highlight a hidden gem, the risograph lab, a colorful showcase of graphic design is open viusally due to a glass wall system. To energize students to collaborate, a cafe surrounded by a variety of seating postures. To elaborate the grand staircase proposed by Bjarke Ingels Group, the base of the stairs is expanded and extruded to generate stadium seating for gathering of students. Scattered throughout the KUBE are independent study spots, lounge spaces, and flexible technology outlets such as TV screens and charging stations

CHALMERS HALL KEY ELEMENTS

Utilizing the former space of the photography labs is a wing dedicated to digital processes, a space just across from hands on building such as CNC lab and the woodshop. The digital wing emphasizes new technology such as large and small scale robotic arms for digital fabrication, an AR/VR lab and simulation space, and a reality/motion capture lab. Once more, spreading spaces utililized by varying departments in order to generate a sense of collaboration and creativity. Each space shows off whats happening within through glass wall systems
