Inspiration
“Never ask people. Not about your work. Don’t you know what
you want? How can you stand it, not to know?”
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
This quote not only has been the key motivation to my work
over the last few years, but the driving mantra of my design
methodology. To me, it is too easy to lose a design in the deluge of
opinion of both professors and peers, but it is my stance that the
program, function, and substance of any design can maintain the
artistic imprint of my pen while still upholding all needs and wants of
the client. In the end, each design reflects an example of my own
design philosophy, rather than someone else’s work or influence.

Kansas City Crafts GuildSpring 2011

The Kansas City Crafts Guild, designed to be as much a sculpture as the artwork it houses. Its angular façade is designed using increments of 15º, unfolding layer by layer to reveal the functions beneath. It stands as a monument in the bustling city, revealing only a part of itself at a glance through each angular panel, creating a sense of wonder in both passerby and patron alike. The building, in order to both showcase the art and act as a learning center, but also to be business headquarters for the Guild, is partitioned off into several different cores, spanning seven floors These cores address the need for retail space, community gathering, business offices, and living quarters for an artist-in-residence. Special interest is placed on the design of extra gallery space, even in the midst of circulation space, allowing for galleries on every single floor of the building, as well as several spaces that are in themselves works of art. This design approach allows for maximum exposure to art regardless of the individual function of each floor.

V.E.I.L.S. is presented as a gift to the Dean of the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design. This installment showcases a potential prototype for the unsheltered Southern windows of Seaton Hall. As a collaborative project, Studio 205C, a third year Architecture studio, has designed and fabricated this sun shade to filter the harsh southern light. Light and temperature analysis were conducted throughout the Spring 2012 to assess the effectiveness of the design.
The panels, made from brushed aluminum, are created using state-of-the-art computer software and machinery. Each are bolted to a welded steel frame and fixed to historic Seaton Hall. A distorted diamond grid pattern generates a fluid pulse across the facade. V.E.I.L.S. was fabricated entirely in Seaton Hall.
Five Main Criteria: 1) Performative Study of existing conditions with Onset logging sensors, lighting analysis in 3ds Max, screen and bounce light to create a more pleasant interior environment, 2) Minimize hot spots and direct light away from dean’s desk 3) Aesthetically pleasing both on the interior and exterior, controlled type and quality of light entering office, distorted diamond grid to generate a fluid pulse across the facade - Pigeon proof- small openings, no sills or shelves 4) Wind Resistant - low weight with minimal cantilever, strong steel frame 5) Constructable and Replicable - lightweight, efficient use of materials, low cost, in house fabrication,
Veiln. a piece of opaque or transparent material worn for protection from the elements, or to enhance the appearance; something that covers, separates, screens, or conceals.

Google HotelSpring 2012

The Google Hotel in downtown Kansas City, MI, designed to manipulate light and bring it both into and through the building through the use of a performative screen, set apart as a loose second skin of the building. Balconies, which vary in placement, size, and orientation around the facade, pierce the screen and provide floor area for plantings of shrubs and vines, which are allowed to grow into the screen and up the structure of the building, creating an experiential space between tower proper and secondary screen; tower as vertical garden. These open air balconies allow for a customization of the experience of the building, both inside and out. While each room may not have a balcony, they are provided with expansive floor to ceiling windows that offer views into the interstitial screen space as well as out into the surrounding city.
The program of the hotel is split between public and private zones; the former occupying the 1st floor lobby, 2nd floor spa and meeting rooms, and 3rd floor bar and restaurant, which offers views above surrounding buildings out into the city; and the latter beginning on 4th floor up to the 11th in varying hotel room layouts. Upon the 3rd and 11th floors can be found rooftop garden space as major pieces of vertical greenery. Structure is made visible both within the building along the ceiling plane and in the exterior, protruding out to connect to a secondary structure for the screen. Overall, the hotel is a study in experiential layers of space as viewed by the common passer-by.

Academy for the Performing ArtsFall 2012

What do the performing arts mean to a vast majority of the public? What concepts do they represent, and how do they make these concepts apparent to those experiencing the work? More specifically, what do each of these three arts within the program embody? In short, these are the questions that first drove my design of the Kansas City Academy for the Performing Arts, for each of these has a profound impact on how we interact with the arts today. The short list of qualities a performing arts center should embody include fluidity, a sense of movement, dramatic appeal, and a whole hearted passion for performance; but the most important quality that all three possess is the journey to perceive a new type of reality. Imagination in the arts is key. The architectural motifs that were chosen to best represent the
large outdoor amphitheater; and finally the simplicity yet tactile sense of materials, using exposed steel as structure, rough cast-in-place concrete, textured Taktl panels, and wood as an accent.

quality of all three are of movement: compression/release; dynamism, an ever changing sense of space; connected both spatially and visually; realizing the opportunity to give back to the community at large, adding public centered programs into the performing arts center such as corner cafe and

Study Abroad: Orvieto, ItalySpring 2013
As it exists, Piazza Tevere is uninviting, inaccessible, and uncomfortable. These issues have been addressed in one bold move: bridging the vertical and horizontal gap between the fabric of
Rome and Piazza Tevere, creating an inviting, multi-use space that is easily accessible. The proposed interventions break the monotony that has become a prevalent phenomenon along the Tiber. This recreational, ecological, and cultural space provides year-round access to a part of Rome that has long been denied its full potential.

Small Town Studio is a Graduate architecture design studio from Kansas State University. Our focus is on the health and revitalization of rural towns in Kansas. The studio’s mission is to provide a unified vision for rural communities that facilitates economic and social development through design. We have focused a great deal of our work on the concept of grassroots design (based
on the ideas of public interest design and inspired by the SEED network), working hand in hand with community members and stakeholders, as well as professors and professional organizations, in order to come up with designs that accurately reflect the needs and wants of each community we interact with. We’ve done our best to continue the mission of our founding, to: 1) foster
sustainable community growth, involvement, and education through planning and design; 2) improve the overall health, social function and civic pride of communities; 3) build community vision, identity, and branding that citizens, visitors, and new residents can relate to; 4) repurpose and enhance existing infrastructure in order to maintain a communities historical identity and instill a new perspective on its
future and potential; 5) introduce pedestrian-level connectivity throughout a community, including improved sidewalk networks and dedicated bicycle zones. This year, we have focused on all scales of design, be it overall community planning, adaptive re-use of existing structures, and new construction.
2013-2014Thesis Work

Eureka’s Main Street commercial district would benefit from a redesigned walkable environment, because patrons of the businesses would have a more pleasant atmosphere in which to spend a longer period of time. The Economic Redevelopment Plan portrays a utopian revitalized historic downtown district and gives the town a clear course of action for supporting business development along Main Street. The comprehensive plan encompasses Main Street between River Street and Eighth Street. It provides a step by step plan for the physical improvement of Main Street. The first step of this plan will be a beautification plan that will act as a jumping off point for the following years in the plan. Individual team members worked on an updated building design for a few future businesses that will fit

into both the economic and comprehensive plans. Members are working on a hotel, townhomes, and a business incubator. All of which will help bring life to Main Street during all hours of the day. In the first stage of planning, an evaluation of the current conditions of Main Street businesses revealed that of the 54 buildings, 41% were empty. Through a process of community involvement, suggestions, and survey, an idealized business master plan was compiled to reflect the potential of Eureka’s Main Street as compared to successful similar small town downtown districts.
Top: Main Street Map of community business suggestionsBelow: Community suggestion board
24
Following the presentation and evaluation of the idealized plan, efforts were focused on the creation of a comprehensive plan for Eureka to follow in upcoming years to reach the economic stability of the idealized plan. Through a series of further community meetings, it was determined that first step of design for Main Street should be at the level of the street itself. The new streetscape plan narrows the driveable street and introduces green space barriers, pedestrian
friendly intersections, and a bike lane on the West side. Moving forward, the streetscape plan will go through a process of re-evaluation and redesign, and a more comprehensive look at the economic status of downtown Eureka will inform further design strategies.

The Main Street group initially identified that one problem Eureka faces moving into the future is the fact that the downtown is currently empty. It needs something; businesses to fill shops, activity to fill buildings, and people to fill streets. Eureka needs a kick-start, and one of the largest aspects of this problem is the lack of businesses and under utilization of the majority of existing businesses along Main Street. A business incubator program not only will add fresh new ideas to the city of Eureka, but will provide existing businesses with much needed advice and training to help them succeed, while providing incentive for new start-up ventures.
Right: Pioneer Post building as built in 1887 (Above), and existing building (Below).
The building chosen for the incubator program is an existing building in downtown Eureka owned by a local architect, Waylon Arndt. The proposed redesign of the building aims to combine the history of the town and building itself with a sense of modernity. Spaces within the Incubator include storefront shops, offices, a large public meeting space, and three apartments on the second floor.

Loose plasterwas removed in chunks and broken lathe either completely removed or nailed backinto place. Lathe was also sanded to convey a more finished feeling. Art from EurekaStudio was placed on walls and the “Gallery in Progress” was opened to the public.
Phase 2 - Full DemolitionAll of the plaster will be removed and the walls taken down to the studs. Lathe will bemore carefully removed for reuse in the finished gallery. Openings slated to be in filledwill be famed out, existing plumbing fixtures will be removed, and new electrical will berun by a licensed electrician.
