STUDIO TIMELINE

RESEARCH

The fi rst two weeks of the semester were dedicated information gathering on the WAD. Working in teams, students researched and analyzed the site, building two site models, and studies precedents for the coming projects.

QUICK FIRE EXERCISE

To jumpstart our creative thinking, students were asked to create a low-density maximized use building situated between two existing structures. Working individually, students produced fl oor plans, diagrams, a physical mode, and renders.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS

In the wake of a recent global recession, Lawrence, Kansas faces an unprecedented opportunity to expand its downtown into a multi-faceted urban district. Traditionally a “Main Street” city fl anked by historically dynamic neighborhoods, Lawrence’s contemporary urban fabric is now stretching east, re-occupying a collection of industrial buildings along the rail line with a renewed urban vibrancy and density. Recently established as the Warehouse Arts District, this urban expansion is comprised of an emerging grass roots arts collectives, small entrepreneurs, cultural institutions, and new

residents of the East Lawrence Neighborhood.

With the help of the Lawrence Arts Center and strong civil leadership, the City of Lawrence is in the early stages of redefi ning downtown and parts of East Lawrence as a newly designated cultural district, cementing its role as a regional hub for arts and

culture in the central Midwest.

GATHERING

For the fi rst major iteration of design, groups of four students were paired off to work on two separate sites. The goal of working in teams was to create conversation and design communication similar to different fi rms working on sites with relationships to the other.

DISTRICT COMMONS

Continuing the goals from SCHEME 1, new pairs of students worked on the site opposite to their previous design (i.e. Site A went to Site B, etc.). With an already developed knowledge of the two sites, students were able to dive into greater detail when developing their designs.

BIKE & BREW

Similar to the goals of the QUICKFIRE, the last 1.5 weeks of the semester gave the studio the freedom to explore their own program for the Lawrence Warehouse Arts District. Working in pairs, students addresses the impact of the Burroughs Creek Trail into the district.

U R B A N A C T I V E Q U I C K F I R EINDIVIDUAL PROJECTDURATION: 1 WEEK

2014.

In an effort to jump-start the semester, students were asked to create a mixed-use building in the interstitial space between two occupied structures. Over the course of fi ve days, each student developed diagrams, fl oor plans, quality renders, and a physical model.

My design took root in the geometries of the Warehouse Arts District. The historic qualities and platonic geometries of the site infl uenced the formal characteristics, while a more contemporary and stark palette determined the material properties. Program was chosen based on the need of the surrounding context, and the interior placement was organized by maximizing the natural daylight, as well as needs for privacy and ideal views.

2014.LAWRENCE, KANSAS

The Warehouse Arts District is an area ripe for growth and development. This design was approached with a deep understanding for the alternative culture and lifestyle in the area. Using this as a starting point, a collection of mixed-use buildings were developed in an effort to create small interventions

for the district’s inhabitants to utilize on both a daily and event basis.

The challenge in this project was in paying heed to the traditional warehouse vernaculars of the district while still being able to design a development that refl ects the contemporary trends. The site lies directly in between a residential neighborhood to the east and the WAD to the west. Keeping this in mind, we used a stepping approach to gradually build up our structures towards the commercial district, thus providing privacy for residents to the

east and creating a strong presence for businesses to the west.

2014.LAWRENCE, KANSAS

After investigating the areas for potential within the direct context, our team chose to focus on the under-utilized parking lots hold immense potential in activating the Warehouse Arts District and creating a central hub for transportation and pedestrian activity. With this in mind, as well as the desire to fi nancial justify a signifi cant change to infrastructure, this design developed beyond the prescribed program requirements to create a heavily activated

District Commons.

These ideas were implemented by moving the large surface lot next to our site underground to provide a plaza space for the District Commons. To offset the costs of underground parking and help activate the space, three mid-rise (two- to fi ve-story) residential buildings and one high-rise residential tower (twelve-story) were developed. The fi rst level of all four buildings were programmed with rentable artist work spaces, retail and commercial spaces, including a bike shop, cafe, and community recreation center, to help create

a program that pulls in activity to the new District Commons.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS

The Dirt Works Studio, in the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning at the University of Kansas, aims to educate architecture students in the design and

construction of publicly accessible earthen structures for all to experience.

For the Spring 2014, the Dirt Works Studio was invited by the University of Kansas Field Station to design and build a new entrance gateway to their Research

and Operations offi ces and the Armitage Education Center.

The site is located in northern Lawrence, Kansas. Our intervention manifested intoself in a thirty-fi ve foot long rammed earth wall that rises from the earth, as the site’s surrounding trees rise up from the prairie landscape. The gateway will serve as a threshold between the surrounding landscape and the Field Station, offering signage and direction to those visiting the site, as

well as paying homage to the prairie environment surrounding it.

ConnectionCustom built U-shaped steel ribbons weave in between the three sections of louvers, simultaneously attaching them the beams beneath and adding an extra layer of support.

Louvers78 unique louvers made from recycled telephone polls create the overhead canopy. Each louver has a fl uctuating height which when viewed as a whole generates a gently undulating structure, mimicking the adjacent prairie grass.

Sistered Beams

Vertical SupportTwo sets of custom columns provide the vertical connections from ground to canopy. Each column is made of three planks with the taller supports sloping gently to provide a lighter touch at the ground.

Rammed EarthFive rammed earth walls generate the most striking feature of this design. Soil gathered from the surrounding site combined with pigment generates rolling striations that mirror natural soil and rock layers.

2013.DALLAS, TEXAS.

Architecture has long played a role in working to resolve historical and social issues. This studio focused on a semester-long study of the Native American peoples in Dallas, Texas, and worked to confront the opportunities and

challenges faced there.

In a historical context, an ongoing struggle of the Native American people was addressing the lack of recognition for the atrocities during the colonization. Using this as a launching point for how design can bridge the history of a people, the colonization becomes a link between the past and future of a

culture.

PHASE1 / Create a barcode unique to yourself using the following formula:0 or 1

XXX.XXX.XXXXX

male (0)/female (1) identifi er10 digit phone numberbarcode check digit

PHASE 2 / To introduce oneself to the section to determine the format identifi cation of the whole - part to parcel. One must investigate the skill sets of sectional translation, aggregate contouring as a means of manifesting surface, and the use of basic parametric design principles in an analog format

PHASE 3 / With the existing sloped surface, translate this surface into a series of four representations which will communicate its slope characteristics.

PHASE 4 / The design from Phase 2 will be considered a site in which a planar surface will be located exhibiting an intentional preformative agenda. Upon analyzing the site model , design a planar surface structure that will be sited

within the model.

As a primary design intention, one should strive to achieve conditions of simultaneity: connection and separation; thickness and edge; abstract limit and visceral engagement. Aim toward design that allows the wall to be a spatial condition negotiating between two areas and yet actively participating in the space. It should also serve to explain the nature of dissection; why it was necessary to divide a once continuous space into two

separate zones.

The objective here is to explore the potential of the wall in its ability to make place and space. Using the bottom-up approach, this design explored the potential of the section and its ability to transform past its commonly static

state.

J G M A I N T E R N S H I PDURATION: Summer

2014.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

www.jgma.co

The following images and renders represent projects worked on while interning at the Chicago fi rm of Juan Gabriel Moreno Architects in the summer of 2014.

During this period I not only improved my skills in large-scale model making, rendering, diagraming, but I also worked to create the fi rms’ graphic standard for wayfi nding documents. This experience helped to shape my professional character and drove my determination for design. It was a remarkable experience to work one-on-one with other designers that

encouraged such thoughtfulness in everything they did.
