Clay County is one of the poorest regions in the United States. The area Beverly, Kentucky doesn’t have direct access to clean water. This project’s purpose was to create a safe, elegant, and harmonious piece of construction that will provide a place to dispense clean water for the residents of Clay County, Kentucky. Our project is located parallel to the street of the Red Bird Mission campus. We re-purposed the existing walkway with two ramps, which both create a common area in the middle. In this area people can relax, socialize and swiftly get their water. The modest design makes it an accessible and cultural hub for clean water. The kiosk acts as a continuous porch extension to the Red Bird Mission and completes the site functionally.

APPALACHIAN WATER KIOSK

Floor Plan - The plan stretches across the site and offers three benches to wait and socialize.

Elevation - The Kiosk is transparent and has a sloped roof to allow natural light and to block rain.

Kiosk Mock-up - Each team built a mock up of their Appalachia Kiosk proposals. Ours in particular portrayed a section of the walkway that the residents would walk across to access the clean water. The full walk span in the design is 12ft but only 6ft in this display. We also included lighting in the mock-up to help visualize how the ambient lighting was used. It shows how the floor load is supported and how the columns are built.

This Master Plan Proposal for Knoxville, Tennessee encompasses many beneficial amenities that would better the downtown area overall and ultimately give it a new identity. Knoxville would double in size and density by expanding the downtown grid over the conditions east of downtown and adding new infrastructure. Our main task was to remove James White Parkway and re-purpose the empty area. In its absence we created a large scale urban park that would become a centerpiece connector for the two sides of downtown Knoxville and the redeveloped riverfront. Within the park, there are level changes in topography as the paved paths travel organically through the site. It also slopes up to a new pedestrian bridge that would cross the river to South Knoxville.

Further out past the new downtown is an urban farm used for major food production. The energy production of this proposal will come from our new energy plant located south of the Morningside neighborhood. It will produce energy by 4 major means: micro-hydroelectric, solar panels, wind turbines, and skwid hybrid power generation.

The Knoxville Market Hall and Culinary Institute is a design proposal for the downtown Knoxville area. The goal is to create a multi-functional structure consisting of a market hall and culinary school that would become the extension of the popular community area known as Market Square.

Market Square is an urban haven located in the heart of downtown that has a number of shops that function beside one another cohesively. The proposal would replace Krutch Park. The market hall would consist of food shops selling demanding products, an outdoor pavilion area, and exterior seating throughout the plaza. The Culinary Institute would serve a thriving educational experience for talented students and an enjoyable atmosphere for all consumers and watchers. The Culinary Institute would include a cafe setting that opens to the pavilion, four preparatory and performance kitchens, a public library, classrooms, a lecture hall and administrative offices conjoint with a welcome desk.

Master Plan - This layout enforces the character of Market Square extending into the next block.

The Market Hall & Culinary Institute is primarily transparent on its west facade while the others present a more solid appearance. The three special features include three sets of exterior stairs, the large overhang of the second floor to create a shaded walkway, and a green wall feature that adds an aesthetically pleasing experience to the pavilion space.

The Red Bird Intergenerational Living Program is a great opportunity to live an overall better lifestyle. The Red Bird Community Center, open to all Clay County residents, would become the primary location to expand current knowledge on health, to partake in many fitness activities, participate in various programs with Red Bird Mission School, and a place that feels like home. The community center would house a welcome desk lobby, an exercise facility, a performance hall thats dedicated to pure enjoyment and good company, and a dining area that would promote healthy services. The intergenerational living community would be a collection of 15 temporary rooms house; 10 singles and 5 family oriented spaces. This setup would provide a sense of privacy, landscape ties and entitlement to the residents who stay there. Our site lies in the Appalachian Mountains and is susceptible to flooding. The design would sustain against the flooding problems of the area as well.

This goal of this ambitious project is to design, build, and evaluate a farm shelter of approximately 1,500 square feet for the Beardsley Community Farm. It’s program consists of a flexible classroom, administrative space for the farm staff , and restrooms. This project is understood to be more than a service building—it is expressly designed to create a real community place and to help Beardsley effectively engage with the residents of its community. The design approach is characterized by a series of overlays and contrasts, just as Beardsley Farm itself is a contrasting entity—a farm within the urban fabric. Continuing off of the Fall Semester of the Beardsley Farm project, the Spring Studio’s focus was to start the construction aspect of the Farm Shelter and to explore the construction techniques that will be used to build it. While working on the construction documents and referencing the work from the Fall Semester, each student in the studio was specified to work on a particular area of the Farm Shelter.

Masonry Lessons - In addition to pursuing perfection in drawn details, our class explored the various techniques and applications of masonry.

Our masonry instructor, JC Newman, provided us with some professional experience and methodology which allowed us to learn and prepare for the eventual construction of the foundations and walls of the project. We learned how to mix mortar, lay CMU blocks, lay brick, bed-joint mortar, and about specifications of those materials.
