EXPERIENTIAL VISITORS’ CENTER:
Graduate Studio Project nominated for Graduate Design Award, Fall 2014
an investigation of tectonics & phenomenology SITE | Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge, Havana, IL
Chautauqua is a habitat for migrating birds traveling along the Mississippi Flyway. How can architecture enhance a person’s experience of a pure and vast natural site?
1 experience: wooden posts spaced every 20 feet at scale of path 2 experience: posts spaced evenly as scale changes through woods 3 see: posts continuing into landscape every 20 feet
How does what you experience influence what you see? How does what you see influence what you know?
know: scale of vast landscape in relation to human scale 500

MESSE FRANKFURT EXHIBITION HALL 7:
Graduate Studio Project developed in partnership with Stephanie Chiricuta
structural expression defines user experience SITE | Messe Frankfurt Exhibition Center, Germany
Hall 7 | 37 000 m2 exhibition hall The grand tensile roof structure organizes spaces that logically progress from a monumental entrance to smaller-scaled exhibition floors. The first floor is ideal for elaborate artificial lighting displays and maintains a direct connection to the foyer exhibition space. The second floor provides carefully controlled natural light through the structurally expressive roof system. A glass wall spanning the north facade facilitates transparency between the exhibits of Hall 7 and the activity of the rest of the fairgrounds. The building is connected to the fairgrounds’ pedestrian transportation system (Via Mobile) along the north and east facades, integrating into established patterns of pedestrian traffic.

Connection is emphasized through informal spaces for conversation or one-on-one language tutoring. Sliding panels inset in a mechanized self-closing track system allow users to define their own space. Informality is expressed in architectural form; the space remains fluid and undefined as users interact with the building and each other.

future existing school building school building
Kamonkoli is a rural village with minimal infrastructure. The community’s existing clinic shared a building with a sewing school and was ineligible for government certification, which meant that the clinic could only provide limited services to a small portion of the community. The new 200m2 clinic is part of a masterplan that includes a primary school and other community spaces. future youth center
