the introduction

Architecture is not merely about beautiful facades, clear drawings, and meticulous models.

Architecture is about clear communication and the words used in this process.

The projects in this portfolio are a result of the investigation, synthesis, and repetition of a number of words through diagramming, modeling, and sketching.

v. 01 ORGIN EAST STUDIO:

The context of the historic Heim Brewery site is a blend of dominant industrial spaces and sparse green spaces. This design aims to create a new typology by lifting greenspaces and interlocking community spaces.

CRITICS:

The mass of this design emulates the strong forces created by existing circulation paths and is separated into programmatic zones. The first floor volume bridges the gap between the two railway systems that define the site’s natural edges. A simple twist in the form allows community spaces to greet patrons upon arrival. As a result of these two forms stacking, the community can visually engage with greenspaces upon entry.

Orgin East for the Nigro Family 2017, East Bottoms District Kansas City, Missouri schematic design

Schematic design began with an interest in programmatic layering as a reference to the historical layering on new and old present in the East Bottoms. Consideration was given to the natural circulation present in this industrial neighborhood, and the layers evolved as public and private zones were organized.

essence of east bottoms

The East Bottoms district features industry, food, and interlocking transits systems. East Bottoms is known for its mix of local flavor and nodes of history.

site development

Originally shut down during prohibition, the remaining buildings of the Heim Brewery are leased to different industrial entities.

Site B rests in a parking lot and greets car traffic on both Chesnut Trafficway and Guinotte Avenue. Overlapping forms respond to the three circulation paths in its context. The three moves embrace and provide zones for program.

design strategy Site B allowed the opportunity to create a new edge or front door at Orgin East in the midst of a historical and industrial context. I found in interest in the connection between growth and gathering. This scheme demonstrates the community supporting the greenhouse through placing public meeting spaces on the first floor and lifting spaces that celebrate the growing process on the second - creating a social and spatial transformation.

SEMESTER: Spring 2017

I am very curious as to how urban buildings can appeal to the human scale as well as how it relates to public health. After scanning through Collin Ellard’s “Streets with no game”, I aimed to design through an investigative sketching process seeking to define a scheme that promoted active rehabilitation using pedestrian comfortability (defined through Ellard’s research). _The influence of scale to the psychological state of the urban pedestrian _Pedestrians are looking for something to latch to _Engaging / open / active facades see lively and social pedestrians _By considering the relationship the building’s footprint, front facade, and 1st floor have with the sidewalk, you will see a dramatic impact on the way the front facade is used

More likely to pause, look around and engage – “actually want to be there!”

Stimulate views and create an experience _We (as people) favor locations based on complexity, interest, and the ability to pass messages (views) _We seek out complexity with our eyes, bodies, and hands

active rehabilitation an interest in reinventing what typical health centers look like by using rehabilitation centers as a precedent for interior qualities

formal evolution I was interested in how different roles of clients pertain to certain aspects of programming. I hope that each profile of user feels there is a route to take (specifically designed for them), promoting the level of community present in this proposed collaboration. The site requires the proposed wellness center to an urban infill as it will rest between two existing forms. The initial proposed form features angular pulls towards and away from the context to bring attention to its program and allow light into lower floorplates. A dynamic form and recessed entry that leads into the ‘teaching’ floor should pull passersby’s inside.

The Wamego Fire Station aims to create a strong sense of adjacency in relation to its’ small-town community context. By pulling the form towards keys places in the community as well as arranging the three programmatic zones independently next to one another, this design iteration achieves a strong relationship with the street facades, an invited visual connection, and a controlled yet organic form.

design strategy

This design was heavily influenced by precedents, research, and geometric analysis. Conceptual crits helped to solidify the essence and purpose of the firestation (right). The form was investigated through watercolor sketches (below).

in addition

I believe art is a compliment to architecture. My background in art led me to pursuing a degree in architecture and opened my eyes to power we have as creatives.

In this section, you will find my graphic collaboaration with an organization that I am passionate about, commissioned watercolor renderings for new homeowners, acrylic canvases, and some of my photography.

Stand Up For Your Sister is an active community working to empower young adult women facing mental illness, loss, abuse, eating disorders, assault, and other taboo topics and aims to support those who believe they are alone in these battles through financial assistance and engaging presentations while educating all individuals in leading the movement of breaking down stigmas and educating others around them nationwide. Stand Up For Your Sister establishes a strong foundation that will provide emotional and financial support to the women we serve for years to come. Our hope for this movement is to have Stand Up For Your Sister scholarship funds and leadership teams on every college campus in America. To accomplish this vision and mission, we present an engaging workshop to sorority chapters, athletic teams, and residence halls that help raise awareness for the struggles amongst their own peers.

I worked with the SUFYS founder, Staci Gann, to produce a hand-drawn, computer-rendered t-shirt graphic which was later screen printed onto t-shirts through a local print shop and sold to over 300 college students and allies across the Midwest. All proceeds went to the SUFYS program.
