Ripple Fall 2023 Marie-Louise Holst Learning Food Lab Skovshoved, Denmark Ripple is an educational food lab that invites locals and visitors to learn about new and traditional methods for farming, cooking, and using resources from the ocean.

The project is located in a historic fishing village on the coast of Denmark north of Copenhagen, on the edge of an idustrial harbor. This project attempts to give community space back to the town while teaching people about alternative food options like seaweed and blue mussels.

The building is mostly dedicated to a large, flexible community kitchen with mobile cooking units that can be rearranged to suit a given event. Programming also includes a small cafe, public living room area, a classroom, and a food library that functions as a standing library showcasing recipes and ingredients. It also has a large accessible green roof and lookout points directing viewers back towards the old town and out to the sea. early sketches, directing views

Skovshoved is a historic fishing town on the east coast of Denmark, just north of the historic center of Copenhagen. The town is known for its “fish wives” who would historically walk two and a half hours south to the fish market in Copenhagen with the day’s catch. In 1863, the Coastal Line of the Copenhagen train system extended to reach Skovshoved and the first harbor was built in 1869. The harbor was then expanded to accomodate industry in 1938, which was also when the Coastal Road was built. Now, Skovshoved is a suburb of Copenhagen.

The population of Skovshoved is mostly comprised of older people and young people who glamorize traditional life.

Many go fishing and take pride in the upkeep of the townscape, which contains many traditional half-timber homes and smokeries. They dislike the harbor because it is a reminder of the industrial complex that dominates most aspects of life and because it, along with the Coastal Road, cuts the town off from the water.

Site

The Skovshoved harbor area transforms in the summer time. In the cooler months, it’s common to see a lone runner or a patron of the nearby cafe, but the site is generally barren. In the summer, visitors swim in the harbor bath, play on the lawn, and take boats out for a drive. This project will give visitors incentive to visit Skovshoved during less desirable times of the year.

OFFSET Spring 2023 Jae Chang Architecture and Design Center Kansas City, MO OFFSET is is a proposal for an architecture, engineering, and construction design center in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

There are plans to revitalize the downtown area in the coming decade, with prominant focuses on expanding public transportation, construction of a new ballpark, and capping a stretch of the south loop of 670 with an expansive public park. These advances will increase activity in the area. The lots surrounding the new park will be valuable real estate.

OFFSET will be on a southern border of the park.

The building will house 2 graduate level architecture studios from the University of Kansas, two studios for public middle and high schools in the area, office space for 3 companies which develop initiatives for advancing the fields of design and STEM, public gallery spaces, and an auditorium for guest lectures.

The AEC Design Center has both public and private spaces. In order to separate the two spaces for safety and privacy while maintaining a cohesive, educational atmosphere, the two spaces are offset. Each private space shares a floor with a gallery space, but are separated by a 4-foot half-floor height difference.

The private spaces are not accesible from the private spaces, but they are viewable.

Haven Studio Fall 2022 Chad Kraus Net-Zero Energy Model Home Lawrence, KS Chad Kraus’s Dirt Works Studio entered the U.S. Department of Energy’s two-year Solar Decathlon competition in the fall of 2021.

They designed Haven, a two story single family home for families escaping domestic abuse situations for a Kansas City client. Client funding issues led to a downsizing of the project to a studio style model home.

Haven Studio is a 500sf netzero energy home that will be constructed as a standalone extension of the University of Kansas’s designbuild warehouse. This version of Haven will be submitted to the Solar Decathlon competition and is expected to be completed in spring of 2023.

I joined the team in fall 2022 and will see the project through to its completion in spring of 2023. My primary role was Budget and Procurement Officer so I developed our master budget and material document.

I was also very involved in contacting companies to procure materials and material donations.

My main contribution to Haven Studio was the development and upkeep of the Cost Estimate spreadsheet. Here, we tracked items, costs, supplier, discounts, order status, and much more. The sheet also contains tabs that detail more specific information such as contacts, material donations, and purchasing schedules.

By maintaining the budget document, I got very comfortable with CSI Codes and I got intimately familiar with every product that we’re using in this house. I also got to see our final cost shrink as material donations and fundraising grew from the team’s hard work reaching out to companies and architecture firms. Working on Haven Studio gave me real-world experience working on a designbuild project that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my career.

Metcalf Market Spring 2022 Jae Chang Grocery Store Overland Park, KS The Metcalf Market is a small grocery store servicing the Oakland Park area near Kansas City. The area surrounding the market is largely residential to the southwest and commercial to the north along Metcalf. The market has a split model to cater both to families buying traditional groceries and business people stopping in on a lunch break.

The Metcalf Market features vertical farming which generates fresh produce for the store which is viewable by patrons from the outdoor patio. It also has an integrated micro-fulfillment center to service pick up orders.

URBAN Spring 2022 Jae Chang Farmers’ Market Stall Overland Park, KS URBAN is a proposed popup farmers’ market stall for the Overland Park Farmers’ Market. The stand invites market-goers inside an interactive space where they have the opportunity to cut their own herbs, ensuring they have the freshest possible produce.

URBAN is an herb and juice bar, meaning patrons are able to buy herbs and available produce and get fresh-made juice made from the same fresh ingedients they’re purchasing. The left side of the stall, the Garden, has integrated grow-boxes from which cuttings are harvested. The right side, the Greenhouse, has entire plants for purchase so visitors can cultivate their own greens.

The sides are united by the juice bar where customers can select ingredients to go into a custom juice.

The stall is largely wood and aluminum framing supporting a transparent facade which acts as a greenhouse. It can collapse into a storage unit-sized autonomous vehicle for easy transportation.

Lightbox Fall 2020 Thom Allen Light and Shadow Structure The lightbox is a study in understanding how light and shadows impact a form.

I chose to focus my design on expansion. I struggled to figure out how to represent this concept without it being mistaken for compression.

The final lightbox was the result of dozens of iterations using index cards, cardstock, and foamcore.

I created a sort of atrium space as the focal point for the lightbox. Then to stabilize the model, I used a folded kite and a grate. Both had an impressive impact on how shadows form in and around the model.

Major Iterations

Thank you.
