AirplaneInteriorH a w k e r - B e e c h c r a f t K i n g A i r

Goal: Design a seat and aircraft interior for a new generation of buyers.

Parameters: -Must exist fi t within current KingAir interior dimensions -Crash safety and fi nish material weight-General FAA safety guidelines

5

Seats rotate and tray tables pivot out to go from airplane to conference room in minutes.*

The interior was designed so that a single repeatable section could be built and then ganged together to created a seamless fl ow from cockpit to tail. Details such as a recessed waste bin and tray table were incorporated. Other features include: a wall mounted reading light, touchscreen media controls, a wireless charging pad, and OLED screen in the shade.

Shown is how the sections look when brought together to form the hull interior. Maximum head clearance was vital so the isle ceiling and fl oor are at their maximum possible dimensions.

After the modeling was complete in Rhinoceros it was imported into 3ds Max for rendering. Lighting and materials were applied here to bring life to the vision.

Goal: The concept for this chair was to create an upscale folding lounge chair with more comfort than your average folding chair. Cherry hardwood and custom cushions add class and comfort to a chair genre where function dominates form.

Although this project was on a short deadline, several diff erent prototypes, mock-ups, and scale models were made to assure the quality of the fi nal product. Mock-Up:Finalized seating and back angles and heights as well as arm rest properties.Scale Model:Ensured the proper functioning of the folding action of the chair.

WoundedWarriorR e h a b i l i t a t i o n & C o m m u n i t y C e n t e r

The Wounded Warrior Project’s purpose is “to raise awareness and to enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured servicemen and women aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs...What started as a program to provide comfort items to wounded service members has grown into a complete rehabilitative eff ort to assist warriors as they recover and transition back to civilian life. Thousands of wounded warriors and caregivers receive support each year through WWP programs designed to nurture the mind and body, and encourage economic empowerment.”

Goal: The WWP recognizes the additional needs beyond the physical many of our servicemen and women have when they return from war zones. Aside from the host of physical injuries they may have, there are a host of mental disorders and injuries that have a direct relationship with what these warriors experience. Normal rehabilitation facilities are not usually equipped to meet the additional needs of these soldiers with specifi c ailments such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). The U.S. military has found it in its members best interest to commission

specialized facilities for the rehabilitation of wounded warriors back into civilian life

and so this project is one of these such facilities. This design is meant to be a prototype for future rehabilitation centers whose goal is to pursue

wholistic healing for its patients and total health for its members.

Parameters: -Site must be located near Ft. Riley and the adjacent town, Junction City. -A community and therapy center are required.-Appropriate areas for chosen specialized therapy must be provided in accordance with related research.-The designer is responsible for appropriate research, Program, Schematic Design, and Design Development.

Site ModelM o d e l e d i n R e v i t

This site in south Junction City, KS was chosen for its proximity to Ft. Riley (15 min drive) and the city center (10 min drive.) The site allows for easy access for both military and civilians and yet off ers seclusion from the surrounding city and highways.

The digital topographic model was created using a combination of topo. maps of Junction City and GIS data for the region.

Schematic DesignP a r t i a n d S p a t i a l D e v e l o p m e n t

Life is a journey of many destinations but for these warriors the goal is to move them from:A) Therapy and relying on others to

B) the Community and self reliance.

Red Line) represents the often indirect path patients take in their journey of healing.

Blue Componants) represent the central role that family must play in this process of recovery. These shapes represent what will eventually become a Family Wellness Center between the Therapy wing and the Community center wing.

EdelbrockOffi ceK C A d m i n i s t r a t i v e O f f i c e s

Goal: Design a new administrative offi ce for Edelbrock Inc. consistent with the client’s existing branding.

Concept: The design concept for the Edelbrock offi ce space revolves around the origins of the corporation and its eff orts to maintain its homegrown roots. Even though it is a nationwide company that distributes state-of-the-art performance parts Edelbrock still sells itself as family owned and customer service focused. The overall massing and design of the buidling emulates this relationship between historical ties and technology.

Facade & MassingI n c o r p o r a t i n g B r a n d I d e n t i t y i n t o D e s i g n

The facade of the building needed to identify with those who worked within it and the Edelbrock brand. The custom louvers shade the glass faces from direct sunlight while also relating to the mechanical nature of the company’s products.

This large and open atrium fl oods the offi ce with light and provides an outstanding entry sequence. This image is from the third-fl oor looking down on the entry (mid image). Structural trusses support the cantilevered walkways and glass spider fi ttings support the expanses of glass.

ReceptionF i r s t C o n t a c t

Shown (Left) is the reception desk and waiting area just inside the main entry. A large desk partially envelopes the visitor, making the fi rst contact a little more personal. The waiting area just to the right is in a three-story atrium fi lled with light and nearby the restrooms.

Transition AtriumL i n k i n g C o r e t o O f f i c e S p a c e

The transition atrium is an architecturally signifi cant space for multiple reasons. Conceptually speaking, it merges the company’s historical foundations with its state-of-the-art goals and objectives. In terms of functionality, the atrium allows light to penetrate the building and light most offi ce spaces. It also serves as stack ventilation to remove excessive heat in the warm months.

Daylighting System DetailA d a p t e d f r o m R e n z o P i a n o

The daylighting system implemented on the third fl oor provides a unique environment and just the right balance of indirect light. The design was adapted from Renzo Piano’s louvers in the Menil Collection’s Museum building in Houston, TX. For this design, frosted glazing was placed below the louvres to experiment with the further diff usion of light.

Cook as You GoI n v e s t i n y o u r M e a l

Traditional Korean family style eating consists of many diff erent componants that are in individual bowls or containers. The consumer constructs every bite with their prefered ingrediants. The meat is often cooked by the customer on a table-top cook surface on an as-needed basis.

35

Take-OutB e y o n d t h e W a l l s

Marketing should regularly extend beyond a restaurant’s walls and the take-out container is one opportunity to do so. By making the container consistent with the branding and as unique as the dining experience itself, the customers can directly associate their memories to an object and its connection to the concept.

GraduateThesisI n n o v a t i n g t h e M o v i n g P r o c e s s

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 34.9% of U.S. occupied housing is renter-occupied. This means

that of the 308,745,538 people who live in the United States 99,479,722 Americans live in a rented housing unit. Therefor one third of the U.S population does not live in permanent

housing and will likely move within a few years. The Bureau also reports that in 2009 12.5% of the population changed residences. That is approximately 37.1 million people a year in the United States alone who go through the often frustrating moving process. With

moving being a near inevitability for nearly all Americans and much of the world, why is so much

of the furniture in homes made to be stationary with fi xed connections and often heavy materials?

Why can’t furniture be as fl exible as its owners and be effi cient with how it uses space in any form?

These questions and many more need to be answered if the populace wishes to save the eff ort of

hoisting couches through doorways or the expense of renting a U-Haul.

“Why can’t furniture be as fl exible as its owners?”

How can the moving process be simplifi ed through furniture design without sacrifi cing daily usability or comfort?
