In Community Design Center, I was partof a group of six that created a Master
Plan for a Methodist Church Camp near
Pine Creek, Montana. The project
encompassed analysis of existing
structures, master planning of the site, and
design of new structures for the site. We
created two books for Luccock Park, one
detailing existing conditions, and one for the
Master Plan. Shown are examples of pieces
which I made for the master plan and design.

Objective: A gallery that will lead to an opportunity to look in
to the workshop/studio where the art in the gallery is made.
To realize this, I created a ramp as the gallery, facing the
main street, with the studio oriented towards the community.
The gallery wraps up and around, looking in the studio, and
concluding at a raised cafe. The offices fit in underneath
the cafe, and the entire building comes together in a
very simple scheme, creating a dynamic interior space.

Started with the studio addressing the
community, the gallery underneath, and
offices on the second level, with a courtyard
in between the studio and gallery and a
private courtyard on the second floor.
Stretched the gallery out to create the
private courtyard in between gallery levels.
The offices get tied in to the gallery via
ramp and gallery leads to the overlook
of the studio via bridge. However, this
creates awkward circulation and entry to
office space.
The gallery becomes based off an
angled plane ramped in both directions
from the entry, and addressed circulation
issues. The gallery looks directly in to
the studio now, with the courtyard in the
middle. However offices, cafe and other
areas are difficult to fit in, and create theirown circulation and access problems.
Scheme is simplified to ramp that
leads up from the entrance, to cafe
on upper level. Courtyard is pushed
to the side, and made semi-private,
with access to the offices. A small
inaccessable courtyard is made
between the gallery levels as a surprise
to the viewer and a tie to the outside.

In choosing a dialectical pairing, I felt that the aquatic center
would have a strong local presence, with people from the
community going there on a daily basis to workout, train and
swim, where the hostel would be a place for people who
come to Bozeman to stay. A hostel is a strong community
within itself, of like-minded people exploring a new place. I
thought that having a strong local community join with a strong
temporary community would help people in the hostel form aconnection with the town. The aquatic center facilities would
be open to visitors at the hostel, so they would be able to
enjoy the pool while they were in Bozeman.

The Aquatic Center is comprised of only two different truss shapes,
alternated and rotated to create the building. While complex looking,
these trusses, along with SIPs and Cor-ten steel were utilized for
simple on-site construction. The areas between structural bands
provide for a unique, natural lighting solution, creating an unmatched
swimming experience.

The Exit Gallery for Montana State was a
hypothetical project with another student, where
we were given specific dimentions to create an
on-campus art gallery. Construction documents,
code compliency, specifing materials, and energy
analysis were major components for the project.
