Currently, I am a recent 2014 graduate from Kansas State University with a Master’s of Architecture. I enjoy working through the design process with both technology and hand drawings. I am interested in exploring different types of materiality and sustainable practices. I am especially interested in environmental behavior and the research aspect of architecture. I have a passion for urban design and public interest design.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT
A year-long group project was divided into two parts: 1. Research and Site Analysis 2. Redesign, to approach the revitalize the under-utilized and disconnected Washington Square Park in downtown Kansas City. Research and site analysis was conducted to gain better understanding of the site and its context in order to make well-informed design decisions.

This design approach focused on capitalizing on the existing location and views, resulting in a design that had activated edges and a centralized open lawn. The purpose of having activated edges and an open lawn was based on precedents and existing usage, therefore various programming amenities were allocated to the edges to insure activated edges while leaving the open lawn flexible for various uses.

The allocation of the programming of the park was subdivided into four parts: transit hub, flexible open lawn, art walk, and plaza/event space. The transit hub includes a transit stop, beer garden, and a Korean War Memorial Plaza. The flexible open lawn includes an open lawn and a bioswale. The plaza/event space consists of a pavilion with a cafe and remained open for various events such as a farmers’ market. The art walk has a viewing deck in close proximity of food truck parking, an art walk for various types of installations, and a playscape area.

As a part of the research and site analysis process, maps and diagrams were generated in order to gain an understanding of Washington Square Park and its context. By creating maps such as land use, change in number of households, and parcel ownership, one can begin to understand the surrounding area and be better equipped in approaching the design process. It is also important to study the current uses of the park, therefore races such as the Ugly Sweater 5k Run were documented to see how it is already utilized programmatically. Research was conducted on various case studies and Kansas City Parks as well to understand important programming amenities that could be translated to the park. An inventory of the amenities was taken and reflected in diagrams to show the relationship and popularity of the amenities.

The objective of this project was to create an urban supermarket with a cafe located in the Crossroads District of Kansas City, Missouri. Crossroads is an arts district with many galleries, just a few blocks south of downtown. The goal was to create a building that provides both a connection and relationship with its environment as an arts district and with the nearby Kauffman Center of Performing Arts. In order to provide this relationship, a sloping architectural roof was used to convey a contemporary and inviting supermarket.

The fundamentals of this project include creating specific, overlapping masses, each with its own purpose, but still connected through the structure of the building. The large, open green space is to invite patrons and provide a place of rest or play.

The final project of the study abroad program in Orvieto, Italy consisted of partnering with another classmate to design the riverfront of the Tiber River in Rome. Named Meander, this specific project aimed to transform the under-utilized and under-programmed riverfront of the Tiber River into an interactive and enjoyable linear space.

Fourth-year project

In order to create this transformation, an organic design was employed with the use of curves allowing for a playful and energetic experience. The site is linear and divided into two major elevations: the actual riverfront and street level. Organic slopes connect the two levels, allowing for connecting bike and pedestrian paths. At both riverfront and street level are viewing platforms. Both sides of the river are connected by a path and multi-functional stage.

To ensure the activation of the space, interactive program was added. This included flexible viewing areas for various mediums of art installations, seating, and an informal amphitheater.

Plan
The objective of this project was to create an overhead structure to house a farmers’ market as well as incorporating a pavilion for entertainment and other relevant events. My proposal was to bring continuity to the site by repeating the design of the overhead structure located adjacent to the plaza. This was in order to create a fluid space that had a clear relationship. The overall design was obviously changed from the original to fit the specifications and needs of a farmers’ market.

StructureInspirational Structure
The structure is made up of multiple pieces of triangular-shaped canvas. The canvas is then attached to steel columns. The steel columns are two welded connections at 12”x12” (when combined) at varying heights. The canvas is attached to the steel columns through a cable tensioning system at the top of the steel columns.

This space is also designed for events such as concerts.

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
STUDIES
One project in particular included an environmental design study in Orvieto. Located along a pedestrian road, the chosen site was a linear path with a few elements of play: a winding path defined by a change in materiality, small wooden bridge, linear sidewalk art made up of hopscotch and large colorful circles.
![Page 33: 2014 Graduate Architecture Portfolio](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051519/568c4ac81a28ab49169992e1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

To improve the site as a more important place of play while still creating movement, additional elements of play were placed, several areas of rest were added, and multiple overhead planes were added to create a more defined space. An emphasis was placed on choosing elements of play that aided in childhood development. The changes of this site were implemented to create a more engaging and active place of play while still retaining its linear movement as a portion of sidewalk.

Studying abroad for a semester in Orvieto, Italy consisted of a focus on hand graphics and environmental studies. Different mediums including ink, watercolors, and graphite were explored.

RESPONSIVEDESIGN
As a non-denominational chapel, this building is supposed to be for both meditating and weddings (and other events) for various groups of people. Placed on a hill in the Konza Prairie outside of Manhattan, Kansas, this slightly earth-integrated chapel takes precedence from the lone one-room school house that one can occasionally still see throughout Kansas and a Greek temple. Both have a certain amount of prominence, in which this chapel is also supposed to evoke.
![Page 41: 2014 Graduate Architecture Portfolio](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051519/568c4ac81a28ab49169992e1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Konza Prairie
The overall intent of the chapel is to respond to its site context by having a strong relationship to its placement on a hill in the Konza Prairie. Light also plays a large role, with slit windows guiding the patron to a large window at the back of the building that leads to an outdoor space. This is to give the patron the feeling of seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.
