I believe that the practice of architecture is vital to the world. Architects design blueprints, proposals, and models for one of the most fundamental necessities of any society: shelter. Shel-ter exists as protection, as an evocation of home, and as a showcase of majesty of the human spirit. Considering a person spends 90 percent of their lifetime indoors, architects play an es-sential role in the culture of living. The architect needs to understand the needs and concerns of the client. Attentive listening skills, therefore, is important for an architect. Comprehension and empathetic dexterity will assist architects in accommodating whatever it is their client needs. It is the needs of living; the need of habitation that is central. What a building contributes to its occupant’s well being is the most important concept in developing a building. I would like to further my studies in creating architecture. In taking classes of architectur-al history, I have learned that you can take elements from the past and incorporated it into the modern. I hope to create buildings that are stunning in their grandeur but profound in its tran-quil merging of Earth and cement. I believe each building tells a story. These buildings tell the story of their times, their builders’ triumphs or failures, and of the future it hopes to represent. In creating a building, it is important to remember that it is firstly a shelter for a man, a woman, a child, a family, or a society. I love studying buildings that teach about culture and history. For example, the ancient Greek temples that remain today preach not only of their stories but their ideologies of great-ness and perpetuity. After studying, working, and speaking to architects, I know architecture is what I want to do. Visiting buildings and looking at how buildings were constructed is exciting to me. The feeling of entering a famous building gives me nostalgia. When visiting big cities, my enjoy-ment is visiting great big buildings, but also all the people and how they interact with it. It is my dream to create something perpetual; to put my name on a building, find my place in this world, and build a place that will not crumble.

MOORE, OKLAHOMA

Destruction hits Moore, Oklahoma on May 20, 2013. 23 Lives were taken at the end of the E5 tornado. The tragedy affected families and the community and thousands of homes were destroyed. Now the question is how do they can pick up from losing their house and moving forward creating a new home? The community is still mourning but is in a state of healing. This design is meant to act as a place for the community to heal by drawing them together madstone concept.

Like in the hybrid model, we explored the site forces of the main axes and the rhythm. It eventually became a hybrid of both the structure and sculpture models. However, the focal point of our design is the idea of a madstone. The madstone is a local tradition that has actually comes from the gut of a cow and is passed from down through families and possesses healing powers. But we didn’t want it to be a literal madstone so we looked at the work of James Turrell, especially his sky rooms. We were drawn to its subtle nature and how it encourages the viewer to look up at the sky that brought so much destruction and reflect on the lives lost. So this space begins to take on bigger meaning as a memorial. We also looked at the Native American culture. We took the comforting womb-like nature of a papoose as well as the texture and rhythm of a grass hut. It is strategically placed along the main axis of the park to invite them into the space as a sort of beacon for the community. Retail space surrounds the madstone to help bring in revenue as well as encourage vertical movement so the public can experience this sculpture on multiple levels. Additionally it is over the FEMA shelter to protect from further lives being lost. It placement is fits right in with the way tornado shelters have been created from years. It is rooted in the ground so people can descend for safety and rise up from the rubble.

Many of our drawing use other media to express the bigger meanings that we want the design to project. Each one of our drawings are art piece for the community, it is a painterly to that express the solidity and warmth of this mad stone. When all the surrounding buildings and spaces fade away, this building will still be standing. The warmth and unique image that this building illuminates will attract people to this place and furthermore strengthen the community by encouraging interaction. We intended the design to act not only as a home for the residences but for the community as a whole and as well as the future of Moore.

The reason why I want to join the health and wellness career path is because I want to help people and make a difference in their lives. In Health care, it is very hard, because if you mess up in a building it’s going to affect tremendously. The Health and Wellness track I feel affects more of a person than any other specific area in architecture. There are more of responsibilities to create a functional building in healthcare than any other areas. They really focus on the client and the user of the building. If I can make a difference in the patient’s road to recovery a bit easier, I would be happy to be there. If I can be a part of creating a space for healers to easier to do their jobs, easier for them to move quickly to assist their patients, a place for them to feel comfortable to work to cure their patients. If I can create a space that creates a patient to ease their pain on their road to healing, create a space for a person to recover is a part of the begin-ning of a person or the peaceful departure of a person would be my pleasure. Even if I’m not directly curing a patient I can be happy that I was in part of creating a space that are comfortable for them to heal.

SINCE THE CURRENT OTBREAK SCARE OF THE EBOLIA VIRSUS, THE DESIGN FOR INFECTION CONTROL HAS BEEN IN THE UPRISE.

WE MUST BE PREPARED TO COMBAT ANY COMMUNICABLE DISEASE NOT JUST EBOLA.

THE IDEA IS TO BUILD FOR NOT ONLY IN EXTREME CONDITIONS BUT IN ALL CONDITIONS.

THERE IS A DATE WHERE THE INFECTED CAN BECOME TRANSMITTED.
