BLIND CLT OBSERVATORY Rhino | Grasshopper | CNC | Welding | Physical Installation Ogallala, NE Spring 2023 - Year 5 Master’s Studio To start the project, we were given a pre-existing curved CLT wall panel structure. The goal of our design approach was to iterate off of the curved wall profile and create an enclosed form. The use of the form was to be utilized as a prairie dog blind for researchers and observers at the Cedar Point Biological Station located in Ogallala, Nebraska. To start, we needed to conceptualize our ideas of the structure, with the understanding that our emphasis of the project would be a large oculus in the center of the form.

The approach for the oculus was to be a large complex hub that stationed structural rafters, a metal crosshair knife plate, and tree trunk column. The timeline of the project was to design these components, construct them at Nebraska Innovation Campus, and assemble on site in Ogallala.

GESTALT PARAMETRIC RENOVATION Rhino | Grasshopper | Lumion | Adobe CC | 3D Printing Lincoln, NE Fall 2022 - Year 5 Master’s Studio For our design approach, through a sequence of developments curated in parametric software modeling techniques, our goal was to attack monotonous buildings. We wanted to formulate a script that allows us to disrupt monotonous buildings and utilize them as hosts for a more organic geometry, which draws a strong contrast to the pre-existing building. We want to use our distaste in these dull repetitive buildings as a means to create a more engaging and unique environment while directly showing the sequences and literal transformation of the building. In order to express those ideas of transformation we wanted to prioritize the layers involved into spatial, material, and additive moments that impact into the process.

The images displayed are the full scale digital model (left) created in Rhino 7 and the full scale physical model (right) side by side. They are represented together to show the creation taken from the digital realm and assembled precisely into a full scale physical model. The cmu, brick, mortar, and rebar all consist of their true materials for the project. The steel, glass, and mullions were created with faux materials to closely resemble the true materials. The steel was created solely out of 3D printing that was then coated in a layering of spray paints to create a rust effect to the steel. The glass was substituted with acrylic to create a lighter material for our display. The mullions were also created out of 3D printing and then bondo to cover the seams of the connection joints, which was then spray painted to give the dark metal effect.

CANOPY MARKET ARTIST LIVE/WORK SPACE Revit | Rhino | Grasshopper | Lumion | Adobe CC Lincoln, NE Spring 2022 - Year 4 Undergraduate Studio The Canopy Market was a fully integrated design project that included unification processes of structure, site analysis, materiality, electrical, mechanical, sustainability and various other design components. The goal of the project was to create an environment that engaged its surrounding site and to be an important aspect in the local community. With keeping the intention closely in mind, we had to integrate the process within to create a cohesive correlation between purpose and design. The intention of the project was to create a Mixed-Use Building for artist live/work space for the local community with included living units, studios, dining, and market stalls on the lower level to share with the public. One main parameter set within this project was to create a mass timber structure for the building which is the largest focal of the design.

BOYS TOWN CAREER & TECH EDUCATION Revit | Rhino | Lumion | Adobe CC Boys Town, NE Fall 2021 - Year 4 Undergraduate Studio Boys Town is a village which was created to care, treat, and educate at-risk children. Boys Town is in need of a new career and technical education center on their campus. The previous CTE building was demolished, allowing for a new start. A large portion of the design process was dictated through trauma informed design. The most important part of the design was to ensure the safety and trust in the students to learn in a safe environment. Trauma informed design is the main driving force to our project. Long views, materiality, green space, and walkability are all key parts our team took for the improvement of students’ education.

KANSAS CITY ART INSTITUTE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE Rhino | Lumion | Grasshopper | Adobe CC Kansas City, MO Spring 2021 - Year 3 Undergraduate Studio The KCAI College of Architecture project was the design idea of adding an architecture program to the campus located in Kansas City. The way the project was approached was through site analysis. A main priority in the project was to have the new building respond to adjacent buildings on campus. The way that was accomplished was through site circulation as well as adjacent building site lines. With site analysis in mind, a large portion of the workload for the project was focused on sun orientation and analysis. When going in depth on the sun’s tendency in our location, our team came up with a fin paneling design which is responsive to the sun in the areas affected on the building.

The massing of our project was derived mainly through site analysis. Starting with site circulation, we found it essential to have an organic path to the building that molded well with adjacent buildings as well as pre existing sidewalks.

After circulation, we set parameters using adjacent buildings’ site lines to formulate our massing’s length and width. Finally, to top off the building’s design is the acknowledgment of sun orientation and how it affects the geometry as well as the facade of the building.

Our KCAI College of Architecture facade design is primarily focused on sun orientation. In acknowledging how the sun affects the facade differently depending on sides of the building, we created a system of alternating apertures. The overarching theme is a fin paneling design that flows around the building. In areas in which the sun is directly hitting the panels, it is less porous, allowing for supplementing the interior’s temperature as well as direct sunlight. In areas where the sun doesn’t directly hit, such as the north sides of the building, it is more porous because less direct sun affects the interior.

KCAI | College of Architecture

TAKEAWAYS The fins are used to shade the sun and have perforations based on orientations to the sun. The souther facade is unique because the fins are operable which connects the users and the public.
