JOURNEY SEED BANK

BEACON OF TIME

“Seed banks are the vaults of life on Earth. They are the insurance policies of our future.” - Dr. Cary Fowler This project envisions an architectural experience that combines security, sustainability, and human connection with the life-giving essence of seeds.

At its core, the building will function as a seed bank, with the primary seed storage workshop located at the highest level, symbolizing their elevated importance in the continuity of life. The supporting spaces will be on the lower levels, where the journey to the seed bank will unfold from the outside.

This journey will provide users with an immersible experience that builds anticipation and understanding, reflecting the timeless and valuable nature of the seeds held within.

Additionally, the concept introduces a “Beacon of Time” as a symbolic and literal element that ties together the seed bank’s role in safeguarding the future. This beacon will be both a physical feature and a conceptual marker, representing the connection between the present and the future, reminding visitors of the deep, long-term responsibility of preserving biodiversity for generations to come.

LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE The Living Building Challenge is a set of environmental building standards that aim to make buildings as sustainable and self-sufficient as possible.

ENERGY

MATERIALS

Buildings need to produce as much energy as they consume, often using renewable sources like solar or w i n d p o w e r. T h e g o a l i s to have zero net energy use over the course of a y e a r.

The materials used in the building must be non-toxic, sustainable, and sourced responsibly. This petal reduces the environmental impact of construction materials.

H E A LT H & H A P P I N E S S This petal ensures that buildings create healthy, comfortable environments for people. It focuses on air quality, natural light, and other factors that promote well-being.

PLACE

This petal focuses on designing buildings that work with the local environment. It encourages using the land responsibly, protecting ecosystems, and connecting the building to nature.

RESIDENTIAL

“Decent housing should be a basic right for everybody in this country.

The reason is simple: without stable shelter, everything else falls apart.” Matthew Desmond Many urban cities are facing critical shortages of housing and increasing energy demands. This is a significant challenge, particularly in the United States, where the issue is multifaceted with problems such as food deserts.

Addressing these issues has become a top priority.

In Downtown Des Moines, our project embodies innovation and community spirit. Inspired by a communal need for “play,” we aim to create a safe space within the city. Our design seeks balance between society and the environment and harmony between all age groups. We envision dynamic spaces to enrich the lives of those living in and around our project. Recognizing Des Moines’ vibrancy, diversity, and creativity, our project aims to seamlessly integrate into its urban fabric.

Our project’s conceptual framework is rooted in the profound intersection of play and live. We seek to forge a deeper connection for individuals, creating places where they can not only live but thrive—learning to cook, garden, and enjoy themselves.

ARCH X LANDSCAPE

THE LAND ETHIC

“Architecture by landscape is the recognition of the importance of the land and how we let the land shape and communicate with the architecture. “We no longer believed that we were participants in nature, but its master.” David Orr There is a connection between us and the landscape that has been diminished over the centuries. Native American people had a deeply rooted relationship with the land around them. It is this relationship that has been lost and needs to be built upon again. Before beginning Architecture X Landscape this semester, we thought of architecture as a object, a thing to be placed on a site.

Our Animate Landscape design process is intended to transform our approach in which architecture is defined by inhabitation or how we experience architecture as a spatial journey. Our programs proposal is based on the practice of prescribed burns. The fire-related aspect of this project provided valuable insights into the intricate interplay of various factors that collectively contribute to the larger picture.

This studio project consisted of three different architectural typologies, a river monitoring platform (Middle Water Observatory) prairie burn observation deck (Holliwell Flame Watch) and a sister bridge (Middle River Link).

RE-IMAGINATION OF HOLLIWELL BRIDGE SKE TCHES

Following the documentation phase of the site analysis, my partner and I worked on our program concept of the bridge, re-imaging it, to relate to the prescribed prairie burns occurring on site. Middle River Link and Middle Water Observatory, allows viewers to indulge in that spatial journey that this land has to offer. Continuing with the semester’s ArchxLand theme, our idea is integrated into the Westbrook Artist Site (W.A.S), conceptually relating to the surrounding landscape.

PROFILE My strength as a designer is my ability to adapt to the non-linear process of architecture. The ability to see a design problem from numerous perspective has enabled me to devise creative solutions. As a student, I realized that architecture is a never-ending process; the drawings, the learning, and further exploration, are all ongoing, which is part of its beauty. Being able to accept this is one of my greatest talents because it forces me to look beyond the problem with an open mind. In my classes, I am particularly interested in the residential realm of design, as I come from a third-world country, I believe that everyone needs a place to call home.

Thank you for joining me on this journey as a student. I hope you find my portfolio enjoyable
