menil drawing institute Inspired by the real addition that was announced during this studio, the assignment was to design the new Menil Drawing Institute. This assignment consisted of a series of three projects during the semester including Site analysis/mapping, studying lighting precedents and each student’s design.

My response to the prompt was to look at the bungalows in the area for inspiration. The overall design became an adaptation of the bungalows and existing museums associated with the menil “campus� that define the area.

The materiality, height and dimensions of the new MDI building were chosen to blend into the existing menil campus while also offering a new type of monument to the collection of buildings.

The MDI will not only be a public area to view art, but also an institute for studying art.

The height restriction of the MDI from the cy twombly and the restriction of dimensions based on the bungalows allow the building to blend into the existing street elevation.

The spaces between the bungalows create pockets where the building is visible, breaking up the scale of the large building to better fit into the menil campus’ domestic scale. The bungalows themselves were used as a source of inspiration because they are a physical demonstration of community and a defining characteristic to the menil campus.

gdbs: education portal students were tasked with creating a shelter for the front of Paul Revere Middle School, a STEM magnet school located in west Houston. Many students that live outside the school district must take the city bus to school. our challenge was to create a more pleasant experience while waiting for the bus that reflects the values of the school, the student’s wants and the faculty’s needs. the entire studio worked together on the design and made multiple visits to present and hear feedback from the client. The final design of the Educational Portal embodies the ideas of STEM in the design, acts as a physical marker for the school and also creates a framed gateway entrance to the school.

future city This studio, entitled The River, investigated the Rio Grande region, specifically the Texas and Mexico border. The group chose to look closely at the cities of Brownsville and Matamoros while considering issues based on ecology and topography. This led to an investigation based on rising sea level while also considering urban issues specific to the two cities such as sprawl and poverty. The group embraced an apocalyptic approach to the subject by imagining that devastating flood was inevitable by the year 2151.

A master plan for the region was inspired by the metabolistis. The group designed a futuristic city above the flooded and forgotten city of today. The main goals of the design included creating an iconic, dense, unified and a more socially equal city.

CITY AS AN ICON

A new icon for the area is created from the need of the vertical city for survival. The transition from a sprawling horizontal to a stacked vertical city layout forms a massive intervention that is repeated throughout the city and defined by zones. It serves as as symbol for a new beginning.

europan 13 this studio was based off of the europan 13: the adaptable city 2 competition. our site was based in bergen, Norway in an industrial area across a bay from the city center. It is currently being rejuvenated for the growing student population in the area. in order to create a visual connection between the two sites, our group decided to create an optical illusion where, at a certain point in the city center, the outline of the traditional housing in the area would be visible, but everywhere else a distorted version of the traditional housing would be seen.

kirksey internship one responsibility of my internship included creating view and daylight reports for three of the firm’s projects. These reports were created using ecotect and were the actual documents that were sent to leed in order to apply for credits 8.1 and 8.2. Another responsibility that my fellow interns and i were tasked with was to create a presentation for the firm’s progress on the 2030 challenge from the following year. we had a firm wide presentation to inform the firm of the results.

Hong Kong public housing the intent of this studio was to re-imagine the design of public housing in Hong kong while taking into consideration different cultural and societal norms between western and eastern culture. the class traveled to hong kong together and visited the chai wan neighborhood where a group mater plan was established. from that master plan five sites were created. my groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site was located in the courtyard of the existing public housing, yue wan estate. our concept for the housing tower was to create a courtyard within a courtyard where many different demographics of people (young/ elderly, rich/poor, public/private] can interact and find common ground in activities they participate in while providing a balance between the built and natural environment on the site.

The courtyard at Yue Wan Estate was targeted as a site for redevelopment for three main reasons. The first is that there is a large unused concrete space that posts a long list of the functions that it cannot be used for (skating, smoking, walking pets) and is therefore largely unused most of the time.

The area is also rather inaccessible because there are many different levels in the courtyard that are connected only by small staircases, making it difficult for anyone with mobility issues to use the space. This is especially worrisome in the Yue Wan Estate because a large portion of the residents are elderly, making it difficult for them to move around and use the public space that is right outside their home.

GSEducationalVersion

Another reason why the Yue Wan Estate was chosen to be reconfigured is that the space has a relatively low density for Hong Kong. Two of the three buildings that make up the estate are only seven stories tall, where other buildings in the area are triple the height.

A-A A-A

The new design for the area will take into consideration all three of these problems with its design. The courtyard and all levels of the two podiums and four towers will be accessible by elevator and the park and void levels will be flat for wheelchair mobility.

GSEducationalVersion

The empty concrete space with no function will be transformed into a public green space that connects to the green axis from the overall master plan connecting it to the rest of the neighborhood.

GROUND FLOOR scale 1:500

Also the addition of four new residential towers will dramatically increase the density of the area while adding necessary functions to the area that is was previously lacking.
