Point
Non-denominational chapel and reflection space
Reflect. Breathe.
2201 Irving Hill Rd, Lawrence, KS Meditation + Cerimonial Chapel
Design
This chapel serves as a place of rest for students needing a break, as well as a place of final rest for esteemed staff of the University of Kansas. Chapels have a certain connection with the cosmos, incalcable points of light beaming down on us. Here, I beam back, the point of my building reaching towards and connecting the user with the stars. Corten steel and limestone provide simple materials and a lush garden flanking the entrance lined with columbaria draw the user in, while calming the hectic world.

Design
with the centural purpose of housing visting artists in a studio, and then displaying their work, a circular form emerged. A central bending axis of circulation guides the users from gallery to studio, then a lunch area to a private outdoor area.
05 Architectural Movement
Bodies Through Space
An exploration of the human body and it’s movement in relation to an architectural element
Core Idea
An exploration of how my body moves in relation to the movement of a door, and the position of a chair. These diagrams track the morphing of my body, and the change of my vision and sight in relation to the movement of the door.
Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.
