KARINA KANE THIRD YEAR BARCH

Karina Kane started by assembling grills at a summer job with a toolbox but is now developing a toolbox of her own in the architectural world.

She is proficient in relevant software, drafting, and fabrication. With her tools, she’ll use design to form a narrative, discovered by the human senses, to create an experience of lasting impact.

KNOXVILLE SKY TOWER

01 ——

2023 | 3rd Year Professor Marleen Davis

Upon entering, comfort arrives to them-a sense of closeness within a place so grandwhere a surprise of this illusion greets one, creating an attachment in a space they call home. The program is standard and necessary: a high-rise residential tower, an invitation to the community, and the space lacks prediction, encouraging exploration. During their expedition, the mountains make an appearance and are intended to stay greeting them every day and providing rejuvenation for themselves A studio designed around urban planning, Professor Davis chose a site in Knoxville, TN so massive and empty, to work together in a collaborative effort to reimagine the space. She had assigned different programs for each zone of the site. The program for this given project is a high-rise residential tower.

The design process never completely stopped until the final due date, revisions were both beneficial and necessary for the success of the project. A theme of scenic views remained relevant. Meaning, the orientation of the tower is slightly rotated, facing towards both the mountains in the South-East and Sharp’s Ridge in the West. The rooms expand outwards, allowing for the curtain wall to be the longest part of the space, again, maximizing views. The exterior form itself is like a blade and upon arrival only when navigating around, will the building change appearance entirely-completely disappearing then reappearing. The curtain wall is south-facing with sun shades scattered in a random but organized pattern allowing for a unique facade. Multiple rooms are featured creating a community for the neighboring projects.

All images were done by hand on trace paper, excluding the section, with concept interior and exterior rendering from Prome AI, and a physical model being produced.

PI

SERIES

02 ——

2023 | 2nd Year Professor Lauren Buntenmyer

PI First task was to find a characteristic of Gay Street, in Knoxville, TN, that sparked an interest.

Neon lighting was quite fascinating, where research and learning were done to produce a digital map representation of the matter. In the map, the elements of neon are included as well as the history and the process of neon lighting. There is also a timeline of Gay Street getting dark with the bright lighting becoming apparent.

PII Next task was to produce an operable object relating to the last assignment. Noticing the eye being able to see light, decided to follow the path of a system aperture. The colors included in the aperture are the neon-producing colors.

PIII Combination and development of the first two projects paired with now a territory. The architecture stretched across the territory, intertwining the two into a shared Earth. Holding onto the theme of light, choosing territories with both high light pollution as well as none at all.

Representing a timeline, where the architecture starts by shielding the city, to then begins to build the city within an already established architecture that is meant to protect the sky. Note, that this architecture is on a very vast scale covering an entire city or able to have cities built within.

Theia, the goddess of light in Greek mythology, is a key component in the development of this project. There isn’t much said about her in Greek mythology, but when she is mentioned, almost all the time it is in relation to her children, hinting at the importance of family. One of her three children is Selene (the moon and stars). Adding some personal backstory, as someone who is adopted, questions about a biological family, especially a biological mother, run through my mind. Looking up at the moon and stars, there is a closeness and comfort to this familiar stranger(s), knowing they could be doing the same. Or that my ancestors are looking down at me from the stars. I wanted to create a place where you could see the sky, stars, and moon at full visibility while creating a family tree. Taking every ancestry website, such as ancestory.com, and putting it into physical form, this experience would connect people from around the globe through a shared purpose or vision, both physically and spiritually. While simultaneously reducing light pollution and protecting the sacred sky. The moments in my site that form “pods” at high elevations would showcase a futuristic but comforting space that binds reality by being composed of billions of physical archives for research with technology that has not yet been developed in order to create these tangible family trees.

Though at the same time, the sky is visible, which both the family tree making and this working hand-in-hand together can create an emotional experience of connection like no other.

KNOXVILLE SPA

03 ——

2022 | 2nd Year Professor Scott Poole

Spa designed on Gay Street in Knoxville, TN focusing on senses during experience and construction means. The Knoxville Spa is highlighted by a visible hanging staircase both visible from the exterior and interior. Leading up the stairs awaits the smell of coffee and soft music with the faint sounds of running cars. Green surroundings present on all three floors bring tranquility. When approaching down the stairs the lighting fades, and your sight becomes hindered, with a smell of calmness and warmth, allowing the mind to be at ease.

ARTIST NOOK

04 ——

2022 | 1st Year Professor Micah Rutenberg

An artist nook located at the Quarry in Knoxville, TN designed by the sounds in the area. The abstract shapes on the form both point in a 2D and 3D manner to sounds, some towards the loudness of the birds, the others toward the quietness of the water. The process of the design included standing at the site, closing the eyes, and listening while drawing a pattern in the mind.
