NATIVE NATIONS CENTER

NORMAN, OKLAHOMA | DESIGN IX - FALL 2022

The Native Nations Center seeks to provide a stronger connection between the University of Oklahoma, students, professors, and the 39 Native American tribes of the state. The building will serve the Department of Native American Studies and the Native Nations Center and will foster community engagement by incorporating public spaces that can be used by the programs and the university. In combination with traditional programing studies, AI image generator, Midjourney was used as a source of inspiration by using our design narrative to foster design ideas.

The Community Space is combined with a kitchen to be able to host community events. The incorporation of a learning staircase will be an attraction for students in between classes and help grow that relationship between users and space.

THE INTERSECTION

PROGRAMS USED

A multi-family housing project for ABLE Community-Based Services, a nonprofit located in Norman, Oklahoma with the goal to enable people with special needs to live normal lives. The design is centered around fostering community connections from Andrews Park towards the north and Downtown Norman towards the south. The mixed-use building also seeks to provide accessible and affordable housing for the organization and the surrounding neighborhood.

Inspired by the city’s grid system rotating 25 degrees at this location, the building is composed of two Intersecting masses. The combination of these two angles creates a series of balconies on the west that step back to allow for shading on the lower floors. The building used beige brick to relate back to the surrounding government buildings and glass-fiber reinforced concrete panels because of their durability, ease of installation, and sustainability.

WALL SECTION NORTHEAST ELEVATION

SOUTHEAST ELEVATION

With over 7,000 square feet of roof and balcony surface area, the building can collect an average of 24,000 gallons of stormwater a month. The building is equipped with two 1,500 cubic feet collectors located underground that decrease the amount of water going into storm drains and risk polluting local creeks and rivers.

PROGRAMS USED

DIVA Plugin

Located two miles south of the main part of campus, the culinary art school for the University of Oklahoma provides an academic setting for the culinary arts and study of sustainable methods for food preparation. It emphasizes the importance of food culture and its power on the surrounding community.

NORMAN, OKLAHOMA | DESIGN V - FALL 2020

The first iteration experimented with the building’s orientation to direct summer winds towards the teaching kitchens, on the west wing, while creating an open space for a garden.

The second iteration also involved the building’s orientation but to capture the most sunlight during winter mornings to naturally heat the large rooms on the east wing.

The building attempts to keep a close connection to the site by having the three roofs slope down to meet the ground at different elevations. The final design is a combination of two design iterations to obtain cooling/heating benefits from both models.

UTILITY ROOM

When a user arrives from the parking lot, they are led down to the center garden that is surrounded by a glass facade and wood structure consisting of load-bearing rammed earth walls to absorb heat.

NATURAL VENTILATIONDAYLIGHT ANALYSIS

The building is rotated 20 degrees to capture southwest winds during the summer to allow for natural ventilation.

Daytime analysis helped determined which areas needed a reduction in window exposure to avoid excessive solar heat gain.

URBAN FARMING CENTER

FORT WORTH, TEXAS | DESIGN IV - SPRING 2020

PROGRAMS USED

Located in the Cultural District, just west of Downtown Fort Worth, Texas, the Urban Farming Center aims to focus on serving as a site for demonstrating, producing, and the consumption of stable foods. The materiality of the outdoor areas consists of concrete retaining walls and colored limestone for the flooring to relate to that of the Kimbell Art Museum, designed by Louis Kahn, located west of the site.
