BANK OF THE FUTURE

While banks may seem increasingly less popular in today’s society, this project allows the building to serve both as a functional bank and a public cafe space.

Located in Kansas City, Missouri, at the intersection of two semi-urban streets, this building has a clear representation of the design ideas happening within from the exterior street view. A curved glass enclosure system around the entire building exposes the structure of the building. Curved capital columns hold up drive through, for users who wish to simply do their banking here from their car.

Varied skylights permeate the skylight to allow additional light and connection to the exterior. they are supported only by the columns on the interior. Partition walls on the exterior walls also serve to separate man from machines on this site. Gaps appear between the enclosure and roof slab as well as between the enclosure and air lock doors emphasize the entrances along the glass as well as concrete walls following the movement of the glass enclosure and extending it into the site.

Ample seating on the interior and exterior allow for this space to act as more than a place to do banking. The unique shape and transparency of the site allows this building to be a destination rather than simply an errand.

In this museum, the architecture becomes the art. Located in Manhattan, Kansas, at the intersection of the highway that leads visitors into town, this site is comprised of three seperate buidlings, a positive emotion hall, a negative emotion hall, and the main lobby building for the museum. The formation and placement of these seperate spaces onto the site is intended to bring people into it in order to experience this large site as a whole and encourage engage concrete Y-columns of the main building, inspired by Tadao Ando’s museum in Fort Worth, Texas, hold up a thin concrete cantilevering roof. The curtain wall facade of this main building is also broken up by a wood panel spandrel system that connects the three buildings together of the site. This main building tions, as well as an additional gallery space and exterior seating upstairs. The clear progression of spaces prepares the visitor from the upstairs transitional place concrete loadbearing walls are angular and random, and varied small skylights cast down harsh light from above. The visitor is then lead outside down above bring soft natural light into this space, giving a more positive emotion for the visitors. The user is than released out onto the site, an open grassy area that can be utilized as a sculpture gallery or gathering space for the community.

ABOUT ME

As an architecture student at Kansas State University, I have learned that my passion for architecture extends beyond the classroom. The design skills, both creative and technical, that I have gained through various classes and other involvements has led me to see a true purpose in designingashavingapositiveaTect on the societies of today. Pushing the bounds of what is creatively conceivable is my goal as a future architect. I am detail-oriented and hard working, and I enjoy experimenting through the design process to uncover new architectural forms that posses both unique personality and simple practicality.
