BANK OF THE FUTURE

While banks may seem increasingly less popular in todays 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 urban 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 the large wa -f 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. exposed building for the more private spaces. Clear vehicular circulation from machines on this site. Gaps appear between the enclosure and roof slab as well as between the enclosure and the ground to highlight phasize 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.

BEND FOOD TRUCK HUB

This site provides Manhattan, Kansas’s Aggieville with outdoor space for enjoying good food from local food trucks, watch ing live performances by local artists, or simply taking a break, relaxing, and chatting friends. The Bend has a unique form that provides an overhead plane at this food truck hub, shapes,

to the streets that this structure sits at the corner of. This roof canopy also provides shade over much of the site and it’s seat ing. The Bend provides a break in the urban landscape with its unique geometry and dynamic site. With four sunken grassy performance spaces on site, visitors can enjoy food from the food trucks while enjoying some music, or simply sitting under the canopy in the shade. This site can host up to six food trucks at a time and has ample space to walk around and plenty of movable benches and tables. When not occupied with the food trucks, however, this site can be a nice place to just relax in a busy downtown setting.

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 designing ashavingapositiveaTectonthesocietiesoftoday.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.
