Along one of the main roads in Cincinnati in the Kennedy Heights neighborhood, there sits an abandoned Kroger. Surrounding it is a mish-mash of homes and businesses with no cohesive feel or look. This studio examined regional reuseable materials in order to build with what is discarded rather than building new.

A terraced landscape builds up and takes over the Kroger, treating the four walls as ruins. The terraces consist of parks, paths, and community gardens that lead you through the site, exploring and uncovering what is there. You slip through a slit in the vegetation to uncover the building below. Dappled light filters into the Montessori School, Cincinnati Art Museum storage, and Community Arts Center. It is as if the underbrush of the land is being inhabited. The “building” disappears into the landscape, becoming both a park and gathering space for the com-munity. Inside, there are moments where the building be-comes crystalline below the vegetation, and others where the light is blocked out completely by the growth. Over time, the Kroger will fade away, becoming only a memory underneath the land.

Within the United States, buildings and structures constructed less than 100 years ago have deteriorated, eliminating artifacts that enable current generations to investigate and understand the culture from previous time periods. The American fascination with cars cultivated an accelerated quest for speed in getting from one place to another, ultimately causing buildings to be built that were not made to last. Relatively few structures have survived until today to explain the rise, boom, and fall of Route 66, an American cultural icon. And as we speed along high-ways and freeways, we become numb to our surroundings, only stopping for shocking or awe-inspiring images. As our society becomes increasingly dependent upon technology and travelling quickly from place to place, it is rare that we take the time to recognize and comprehend space and place while in motion.

This thesis examines the construction of a historical nar-rative within the context of a mobile environment along Route 66. Using the broader context of Missouri as a site, it analyzes the role that movement has on architectural perception through a series of eleven rest stops using the techniques of rhythm, repetition, sequentiality, and montage in order to communicate a history through the juxtapositions of people in place.

The fifth chapter of Vitruvius’ Ten Books on Architecture focuses on climate and site. Upon reading this chapter, my assignment was to update it in order to represent how architecture today addresses the topic of climate and site.

Book One: Traces of ManThis photographic essay documents the destructive impact that humans have had on the Earth and inversely, the destructive effect of natural disasters and the architecture that has been built in response.

Book Two: Mandangered SpeciesGraphically and verbally representing the cycles of con-sumption within our society by following Wikipedia links, this book begins with resources and ends with ephemer-alization.

Book Three: Work-LivingThis book is a folding timeline from the 1400s until today, comparing the relationship between the home and office, also noting societal advances along the way.

Situated on Cranbook Academy of Art’s campus planned by Eliel Saarinen is the site of a Wellness Center that houses pools, studios, meditation alcoves, and hospitality rooms for visitors to the campus. Tucked into a large grove of trees, my design aims to blend in with the trees as a light pavilion. Contrasting in materiality from the rest of campus, the building consists of wood-slat walls running parallel to each other that demarcate the different programatic areas. These walls filter light and views through the building and also house the mechanical equipment. A grand stair divides the wet and dry areas, purposely providing views to the pools and studio, connecting the reflective with the active, and ultimately leads to an outdoor area completely secluded in the trees. This comprehensive studio merged the techniques and methodologies of structures, construc-tion, and the environment.

A loom consists of two parts: a warp, which are the threads held in place, and the weft, which is the thread interwoven with the warp. The site design idea is based on the loom, both literally and figuratively. The ground consists of differ-ent activity areas, with recycling defining a hub, like the loom. The housing structure is the warp and the materials used are the weft. Inspiration came from Josef and Anni Albers, professors and artists at Black Mountain College in Ashe-ville. Looking at the problems of connectivity and waste, the project addresses what a com-munity can become and how to do that using found materials. It attempts to bring back to life an industrial site within an artist community.

When designing a design museum, the building itself should be a display of creativity and inven-tion. By lowering the building by three stories into a central circle, the museum spans the road and interacts with the pedistrian and automotive users of the space. The challenge of integrating the new program within an existing city grid al-lowed for our master plan to cross both the grid and non-grid styles of planning. The interplay of outside versus inside serves as a theme throughout the design of the museum and other new site implementations. The materiality of the exhibit spaces serves as a visual and sensorial experience that guides you through the muse-um. Mapping was used as a way to understand the site and inform the design process.

Prefabrication brings to mind common units like Habitat 67, as well as repetition. When creating the bike depot, the idea of a significant entry and a more private area along the rear of the site helped to create areas for customization for each resident. In the apartments, residents still have the freedom of customizing their apartment around a central core unit. The rear screen filters light into the circulation space and allows for other personalization of space by the residents. The bicycles in the ground level are removed from mechanized racks as needed and returned later.

The movie theater was designed using recycled materials including a used trailer, an old barn, tires, shipping pallettes, and an existing build-ing on the site. These elements, a kit of parts, created the major axes on the site, an informa-tion wall and bathrooms for the public and an outdoor movie theater with a living area for more private uses. Ground conditions were used to provide the function to each space on the site by changing the materials. The new movie theater serves as a gathering area for local residents to encourage a sense of community and commu-nication.

The memorial for the Holocaust contrasts the bright lights of the boardwalk and then fades into the ocean. The entry wall mimics the wooden patterns on the boardwalk. The memorial consists of ten walls, nine of concrete and one of glass containing Holocaust artifacts. Each country that suffered losses is imprinted either on the concrete walls or on the board-walk floor on an implied map of Europe. The location of the countries provided the locations for the walls, creating spaces within the memo-rial meant to encourage personal thought and reflection as well as interactive discussion and remembrance.

This small installation in the cafe of the Aronoff Building at University of Cincinnati began as a social experiment to explore whether students, when given the choice of one large table, would choose to mingle or to avoid socializing. The school is a place of collaboration, yet students rarely converse together between the different design disciplines. In the middle of the table we placed plastic bags calling out the ingredients in the food that we commonly eat around the dinner table, calling attention to the poor choices that we make when it comes to eating healthy. The table was avoided while it was in the cafe, but was used by a few students to hold group discussions and work on group projects.

Throughout the summer, I was able to work on various exhibit design projects, including the Shanghai Natural History Museum, Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, Pro Football Hall of Fame, Smithsonian Postal Museum, and American Battle Monuments Commission. I was tasked with reading material over the subject matter of each exhibit and helping with schematic design, design development or con-struction documents for each project. I worked closely with the exhibit design team and graphic design team.

During this summer, I worked mainly on putting together a furniture bid for the North Carolina National Guard building in Raleigh, North Carolina. This included selecting furniture and finishes for the entire building as well as making interior finish boards that showed the tile, carpet, paint color, and other finishes in the building. I also put together the specification sheets, first creating the design of the furniture layouts, and then organizing them. In addition to selecting the furniture, I created booklets for the client as a leave behind for meetings that we had with him. For these booklets and other meetings, quick models were created on the computer to show a typical office layout as well as the lobby and conference rooms.

Lightroom Studio is a small multidisciplinary firm that works on architecture, website design, print design, identity design, and film. As an intern, I was in charge of helping out with office manage-ment in addition to working on design projects. I worked on a consulting architectural project that involved renovating the interior of a house by adding spiral stairs. I also designed logos for various groups and events, created magazine ads and wrote magazine articles, created a short film, and designed and built a plywood chair. I worked and met directly with clients, which was an invaluable experience.
