The site for this new Market Hall and Culinary school is an extension of downtown Knoxville’s market square. The shops complement the existing Market Square open-air farmers’ market activities. The open plazas associated with the Market Hall accommodate additional farmers’ stalls and food trucks on designated market days.

The design proposal takes the 75 by 300 foot given building zone and dissects it into two individual buildings: the Market Hall and culinary school to the northwest and the pavilion to the southeast.

The Market Hall exists on the ground level. On the upper levels exists the culinary school kitchens, lecture hall, and administrative space on the second floor; the classrooms, library and student lounge are on the third floor. The roof holds a field of solar panels and planted pavers and can be accessed through the two bookend fire stairs.

Shade and Shadow on Site

The primary facade of the market hall is exposed to the southwest sun. The buildings surrounding the site could possibly block the direct sunlight at specific times of the day. However, the sun study reveals that immediate buildings around the site do not shade the market hall during the peak hours of the day.

Therefore, a shading system is required. We are proposing a full glass store front in our market shops to allow visibility of produce and to create a con-tinuation of space from the outdoor plaza. In order to protect our southwest facade we designed a horizontal louver system that will adjust based on the amount of sunlight hitting the surface. The system is pulled off of the main facade by five feet.

Material Selection:

The choice for the facade design and materials came from strategy of efficiency and responsiveness. The surrounding buildings on the site are masonry so we identified a tectonic material that would suggest the his-toric facades while introducing a new material scale. Additionally, planting systems create shade and an organic texture to compliment the panels and Low-E glass.

Because the region has very little financially and the landscape is

already in distress. Our design must promote a healthy environment through

sustainable design.

SuStainable: Minimize negative environmental impact

Financial well being is not something many Clay Co. residences have; so, our

design should be that which allows residences to afford the costs related to

operation, inhabitation, and maintenance of the building. Additionally, afford-

ability is the primary decision maker for seniors looking for a living community.

Economic EfficiEncy: Cost effective design

The programmatic elements should intertwine and adapt to multiple uses.

This allows the building to operate efficiently and increase its longevity of

applicable use. Physical connections within the plan are important to avoid

isolation and promote community.

ConneCtivity: Emphasize crossover

A design which appeals to the locals and addresses the surrounding context

is critical. Aesthetics should relate to the culture of Clay County.

Aesthetic: Appealing design

Responding to the issues of flooding, lack of clean water, poor electricity in-

frastructure, and health is essential in this design. Without recognizing and

solving these issues, the design will not stand the test of time or the needs

of the community.

Responsive: Solve the issues

In senior living communities social interaction is crucial to the happiness of the

residents. By having many generations together interacting, older generations

feel more youthful and apart of the community.

Diversity: Multi-generational interaction

Healthy living is critical at any age, but becomes more important as ageing

occurs. The promotion of a healthy lifestyle will provide residences with a bet-

ter physical and mental well being. This also reduces to need for extensive

medical care.

HealtH & Wellness: Promote healthy living

Our design should emphasize learning. The community is promoting finish-

ing high school and going on to secondary education. By learning about the

environment, health/wellness, and architecture through our design, new edu-

cational interests will arise.

Education: Learning Experience

Appalachia: Clay County, KYProfessors: John McRae + David MatthewsPartners: Jeremy Beasley+Theresa KidwellSpring 2014

Intergenerational Living

This project is the result of a multi-disciplinary studio; un-dergraduate and graduate architecture students, interior de-signers, and even nursing students contributed to the studio research.

The nature of the project required a high degree of empa-thy. Therefore, as a studio we traveled to Red Bird Mission in Clay County and interviewed the local residents to learn about their culture and traditions.

Red Bird River

Clay County is located in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains of the Appalachian Mountain Range in southeast-ern Kentucky. Here the land is sacred, and family is every-thing. Hallows are sprinkled throughout the steep valleys of the rural mountain ridges. In Clay County, Appalachian does not just define the region but describes a way of life that has been passed down for decades.

The mission of the project developed from the need for emergency aid in the Appalachian area due to geological hazards. The design is a refuge living community for dis-placed families that gives them an affordable place to call home. In addition to transitional housing, the project serves independent and dependent seniors and disabled citizens in the area. Intertwining the transitional housing and senior liv-ing generates a sense of community and intergenerational living that is compatible to the community found in a tradi-tional family hollow. Through the integration of a commu-nity center, a greenhouse, and a greenway/park, this project promotes education, healthy living, and connectivity among its users.

During a flood, water overflows from the river bed and excess runoff from the mountain collects in the north-eastern corner of the site. By implementing a wetland, flooding of the site can be more controlled. Water col-lected in the wetland is then redirected back to Red Bird River flowing under the elevated construction of the community and senior living center.

Senior friendly outdoor exercise equipment and a community playground promote healthy

living. The public park attracts community involvement.

A green roof on the community center and senior living building creates a sustainable

alternative.

The connectivity of the program elements prevents isolation of residents and encourages

interaction.

In response to the vulnerability of flooding in the project site, we are choosing a building material that is resistant to flood damage.

Black Locust is a solid, decay-resistant wood that is ranked as class 5 (the highest acceptable building material) by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The rapidly grow-ing tree is native to southeastern U.S. It is extremely hard, resistant to rotting and has minimal shrinkage. Black Locust competes with Hickory as the strongest and stiffest domestic timber: but with more stability and rot resistance.

The Hearth: a fire place is placed centrally in the public zone as the heart of the home.

Covered porch

Two independent homes are connected to each other by the proximity of their

porches. This placement forms positive relationships among the users. The porch

is given a relatively large square footage to encourage outdoor interactions.

Page 35: Holly Michelle Harris Architecture Portfolio

The design of the independent home responds to its place-ment within the site plan. The roof in the public space shifts up creating a clerestory that allows northern light into the living room and kitchen and natural ventilation within the space. The roof then extends out and down to the ground on the southern side to reduce sun exposure. This also creates a proportionally large outdoor porch which is very important in historical Appalachian homes.

The use of familiar materials and interiors empathizes with the Appalachian vernacular. This eases the transition of living for the displaced families and aging seniors.

The interior decorating of the design shows tribute to Ap-palachian history. Historical images are displayed in glass partition walls within the senior living center. Appalachian quits are hug on the walls of the cafe to bring warmth and soft textures into the large space. Additionally, popular Ap-palachian trinkets and instruments are on display throughout the community and senior living center.

Jefferson’s Lawn, University of VirginiaProfessor: Brian AmbroziakSpring 2012

the Lantern, Pavilion XII, Confabulatores Nocturni & Cabanon

This is a successive series of projects that all focus on the history and architecture of Thomas Jefferson’s Lawn at the University of Virginia.

The final project of the semester, Confabulatores Nocturni & Cabanon, won an Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Award in 2013.

Preface: the Lantern

The first assignment of the studio was to design and con-struct a lantern.

The design of my lantern respects the night sky and responds to the horizontal nature of the illumination of the Lawn at night. The floating cube hovers over a red glow that guides one’s footpath without distracting from the stars.

Concepts of solid and void and the way light projects be-tween two masses are continued in the following projects.

Page 42: Holly Michelle Harris Architecture Portfolio

A continuous sight line within Pavilion XII lets one reference his location to Jefferson’s statue across the lawn as he moves through the layers of the building. This subtracted slit from the building masses also allows the occupant to glimpse into the next layer of space before he can occupy that space.

Page 43: Holly Michelle Harris Architecture Portfolio

Part I : Pavillion XII

For this design project, pavilion XII was designed to become another element of Jefferson’s academic village. The pro-gram of this pavilion is described as a reading room for the students of the campus. Within the lawn there is an appar-ent layering system from lawn to colonnade to circulation to building mass. Therefore, Pavilion XII interprets this system and peels away mass to discover a larger public reading re-treat.

The pathway to the entry of the pavilion is continued from the arcade of the lawn. This is the first instance of the project’s layering system.

The reflection pool, cabanon, and meeting room rest on a spine parallel to the west arcade. The placement of the ele-ments is regulated from radiating lines that are anchored to Poe’s room.

Page 45: Holly Michelle Harris Architecture Portfolio

Part II : Confabulatores Nocturni & Cabanon

Located behind the west arcade of Jefferson’s Lawn, the meeting room for the confbulatores nocturni and cabanon are a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. The concept driving the design comes from the finger like zones that branch out from Poe’s room in the arcade. There are five zones each representing a stage in life: growth, reflection, dream, crossing over, and death. The program is sunken into the earth in order to mini-mize its disturbance to the rhythm of the arcade and create private spaces thought and reverie.

As the Teacher

In my final year in the undergraduate architecture program I had the privilege of being a teaching assistant for the first year drawing class (Representation I) under Professor Brian Ambroziak.

In one semester I taught and critiqued fourteen students through a series of five projects in multiple mediums. The main objective of the course was to teach spatial com-position and drawing techniques.

The images I have chosen to highlight are from the Time[scape] project which challenged the students to think about composition though a series of frames. Following the completion of the project I created and conducted a presentation with one other teaching as-sistant based on five themes we identified within the final compositions (time scale/spotlight/narrative/movement/splice). We connected student work with precedents, and what we found was beautiful.

Interesting that I have to live with my skeleton. It stands, prepared to emerge, and I carry itwith me—this other thing I will become at death, and yet it keeps me erect and limber in my walk, my rival.

What will the living see of meif they should open my grave but my bones that will stare at them through hollow sockets and bared teeth.

I write this to warn my friendsnot to be shocked at my changed attitude toward them, but to be awarethat I have it in me to be someoneother than I am, and I write to ask forgiveness that death is not wholesome for friendships, that bones do not talk, have no quarrel with me, do not even know I exist.

A machine called skeleton will take my place in the minds of others when I am dead…

For this composition I took the original image and layered it on top of itself to create a similar effect to Harold Edger-ton’s stop motion photography. The movement in between the three frame series was impeccable as revealed through the layering study.

China

May 2014: 3 weeks

The Monument to the People’s Heroes is a memorial for those who died during the revo-lutionary struggle for Shanghai dating back to the Opium Wars. The concrete monument sits on the Pudong side of the Bund riverfront. I photographed this image while standing un-der the monument looking towards the sky.

The Sky Walk 100 located in the Shanghai World Financial Center is the highest observatory in the world. This image was taken looking across the glass bridge.

The Humble Administrator’s Garden in SuZhou is one of the four most famous gardens in China. It was originally built in the fourth year of the Zhengde Period of the Ming Dynasty in 1509 AD. This is image looks through a window within the out-door circulation hall of one of the garden’s many pavilions.

Although there are more beautiful represen-tations of Beijing, I chose this image to rep-resent one of my more unique experiences in the city. This is an alley way leading into a restaurant well known for its traditional peking duck dinner. A hidden location, the restaurant’s customers are guided to the entrance by the progression of ducks on the alley’s brick walls.

This image pictures the entrance vestibule for a traditional Chinese home in Beijing.

What we do best is this: we instill qualities in places that were not present before. Or, equally, we intensify those qualities there, we reveal them.
