Wandering Through Layers - ARCH 208 - Professor John Trefry section of site with natural forces and surrounding impacts

Wandering Through Layers is a project created by combining four separate, smaller projects (structure, community building, community garden, and garden keeper’s home) into one cumulative project. The community building began as a solid mass and areas of varying dimensions were deleted from this large block to create voids that later acted as rooms within the building. This abstract approach at creating space by creating voids allowed for quirky spaces I would not have normally included within a community building’s design.

Different design strategies can produce vastly different results within the same project; this abstract thinking 4

has taught me to think outside the box when I am designing a space. It has also encouraged me to try new approaches to designing spaces, as well as to seek every avenue and method of design. This creates unique designs and keeps many options open for future project development.

diagrams of site impacts and garden programming The location of a site poses challenges like noise, wind, solar, and views. These factors played an enormous role in the layout of the building plan, as well as the rooftop garden. The vegetable garden area needed to be located on the south side of the roof, since Lawrence, Kansas is in the northern hemisphere. Harsh winter winds come from the northwest on this particular site, so I located a forest on the northwestern corner of the roof to provide protection to the rest of the garden.

Introverted Vortex - ARCH 209 - Professor Farhan Karim

Introverted Vortex is a project created by studying a large rock. Among these studies were pastel imprints, elevation differences, and a water-flow path analysis. A to-scale model of the rock was created out of cardboard and analyzed as a space within nature. My rock was red and orange so I chose a Grand Canyon-like location to place my rock in. A walking path for pedestrians was created to maximize views and experience the most unique areas of the space. The trail ends at an introverted structure that is tucked away in a natural crevice of the space. This vortex-like structure acts as a place of rest for tired hikers, but also encourages self-reflection and promotes the space’s natural beauty and environment.

The technical drawings provide a better glimpse at how the structure interacts with the rock. The exploded axonometric drawing (below) illustrates the interaction between the hiking path taken by travelers, the rock itself, and the vortex structure atop the rock.

Moor - ARCH 108 - Professor Amy Van de Riet Moor is a layered model created by assigning heights to colors on a quilt square. Instead of creating a model that represented solidity, I chose to represent the original quilt square as a series of voids. This model’s materials were modified until it was constructed entirely of paper and achieved the desired representation of voids. An exploded axonometric drawing was drawn utilizing architectural tools to project a further evolution of the model.

studio perspective exercise 20

Viewfinder is a perspective exercise that began within the studio space by drawing.

After this activity, I applied my knowledge of perspective and the experience of a space to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies by creating a viewfinder model, rather than drawing. This string activity allowed for a deeper understanding of how people experience a building or space based on their own perspective.

development scheme & key

Growing Quindaro is a project focused on designing a community space for the residents of Quindaro, Kansas to enjoy. I chose to design a Community & Garden Center to provide a space for the members of the area to gather, learn, and grow healthy food to enjoy. The site has a significant grade change of approximately fifteen vertical feet, so rather than infilling the land, my proposal utilizes this preexisting slope by placing a multi-story building with a multitude of walkout patios at their respective grades. This multistory building, as well as the land around it, acts as a common point between many historical beauties within the area. Quindaro needs a central space for gathering, learning, and growing as a community.

Growing Quindaro - ARCH 209 - Professor Farhan Karim The floor plans include necessary flexible spaces for the community to use as they need, such as a pop-up vaccination clinic, space to hold community events like yard sales or farmer’s markets, or a safe, quiet space for important meetings. This design also includes a branch library equipped with computers and printers, a coffee corner for early mornings, staff offices, and a garden center for the local community, especially the youth, to learn about healthy habits and growing their own produce. The large garden provides the residents a dedicated space to grow food and the center provides a postal drop-box. There is also an added stop at the corner of the building along the public bus route for added accessibility to neighboring areas like Kansas City.
