PORTFOLIO

Hello, my name is Vincent Joseph Kachorek and I am a fourth year student at Lawrence Technological University pursuing a Bachelors degree of Science in Architecture. I have studied at Lawrence for the past four years laying a base foundation and building upon new and exciting experiences for the profession of architecture and design. Ever since I could recall, I’ve always had a right-brain mentality that has driven the passion for creativity at every angle. The pursuit for knowledge in learning how to design space is my fundamental aim as a designer. These previous years of my life in particular have truly created a catalyst for design. The inspiration from my everyday life experiences have made me aware of the ways in which people live their lives and how design is a direct infl uence upon it. Designing and planning for the human scale in this sustainable age is a critical objective I‘ve learned and is something I will always keep in mind throughout my career. The various aspects and specialties of each component of this vast fi eld all adds a piece to the design puzzle. This path I’ve chosen for myself as a form of civil servant is truly encouraging; I have the ability to improve the well-being of others.

agritowerThe following project was a competition entry for the 2013 American Institute of Steel Construction. Together with my partner we formulated and completed this project with the end result of four 20” x 20” boards; per the competition rules. It was submitted under the open category of the AISC steel competition website. The proposal was for a steel and glass skyscraper in downtown Chicago right on Lake Michigan and Chicago River. The premise of the Agritower is to grow plants and cultivate the food which it produces. Situated on a undeveloped peninsula, the Agritower optimizes urban growth in this major metropolis. The design intent stems from using the Sun’s energy to expand growing at multiple levels. To promote this growing to its fullest, the southern side of the building is leveraged. Steel is extended at certain intervals to give way to platforms of green gardens that embrace the Sun. Integrated with multiple growing spaces in the building, greenhouse, park, and open-air market this built environment becomes a place that both welcomes the public as well as gives residents of the Agritower their own private oasis in the sky.

excavation centerThis project was introduced under the presumption that the forested area known as Riverbend Park was in the process of being excavated for fossils in a recent discovery by archaeologists. This archaeological dig site supposedly contained the remains of mastodons and other creatures. To facilitate the safety of the site and the workers there, a structure was needed for protection. The conceptual idea behind the design included lifting to cover and to promote the continuity of observation. This building is meant to preserve the contents unearthed and to showcase the fi ndings to the visitors. To incorporate the roof element of the project the structure is seemingly pulled from the main body of the building to cover the site. The assumed temporary building highlights the importance of the known triangular properties and characteristics in relationship to structural design. The openness on certain portions of the building allow of viewers to see the whole process from excavation, to processing, to possible display. This project serves as a educational tool for the individuals that experience this naturally found space.

aquatic residenceThis design started as a prompt between myself & another classmate whom acted as the client for the project. The caveat for this arrangement included the fact that the client had an exotic animal as a pet. The design of the building not only needed to address the clients desire but also to accommodate for the pet as well. My client chose the Yellowfi n Grouper fi sh. The overall purpose of the project is to revive the lacking streetwall to this part of town and dismiss the current corporate fast food establishment. The residential part of this project also included a commercial storefront component for this downtown part of Hamtramck. The intent of this design was to create interactive relationships between the exterior and interior environments. Instead of accommodating a single fi sh, the idea developed to expand it into accommodating a multitude of marine wildlife. The creatures were to be sheltered in a large tank that rose from the street level to the third level entering both the residence and storefront spaces becoming a movable waterwall of marine life that expressed the vertically of this new structure.

cultural centerThis design proposal called for the revitalization for the struggling Detroit neighborhood community of Warrendale. More specifi cally, this project was introduced as a real life design problem to create a place of identity and feeling of community that Warrendale currently doesn’t have. Hard economic times have left a high vacancy rate in the area. Most of the neighborhood is defi ned by the street grid system. By order of selection, a nearby former elementary school was chosen as the prospective building and site for the project based off the positive assets it held. Rather than demolish the building, the solution called for it to be renovated instead. The intent for the new updated design responded directly to its mid-modernist structure. The expression of the horizontality along with additional transparency creates a contemporary but reserved update to this building. The addition of functional spaces for the people of Warrendale create a more open identity that allows for interaction with one another through the various amounts of activities and events offered at this new and improved cultural center.

mataja residenceDesigned by Belzburg / Wittman Collaborative Architects in Santa Monica, California, this project was chosen as my Visual Communications 2 Final . The deliverables included a hand rendered exterior perspective, interior perspective, and fl oor plan. I selected this project to render because of its particular location and integration with the site . The use of existing boulders integrated with the structure of the building adds character for this particular building placed in the hills above Los Angeles. The Majata Residence was Built in 2000, this four-bedroom family home is situated on the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains about 2 miles from the Pacifi c Ocean. This concrete and steel frame structure is bordered by national parks on the north and east ends of the site. The home was wrapped 270 degrees around an existing granite outcrop, which allowed for a low impact of the natural surroundings. Together with an effi cient and effectivedesign, the Mataja Residence is a beautiful piece of architecture that is denitely not worth missing.Gordon Cheers.“All of Architecture.”Millennium House,‘09-’10

Credit:The Algiers Motel Incident by John Hersey

markersThis project was conceived under the direction of a instructor in charge of a study abroad program hosted through LTU that took place in the cities of Detroit & Paris. The project name was originally called New Monumentality. After deeper development it was renamed Markers:The Representation Of A Forgotten Moment Through Experience to better fi t the subject matter. This project is not a about a building, but a monument. The question then is, what is a monument and does it have to be what people generally think a monument is? I along with the rest of my group came across an event in Detroit’s history that is relatively unknown. During the Detroit Riots of 1967 the Algiers Motel Annex become the scene of death & controversy towards African Americans. This story is given life by John Hersey who wrote The Algiers Motel Incident. To address this horrible incident our team developed & constructed a path leading to a stump in what is now Virginia Park. The stump we embossed with a quote to solidify the feelings of the situation and allow for one to refl ect upon the current state of discrimination.

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”

Catastrophe du Metropolitain 1903markersSimultaneously along with the Detroit marker the Paris marker was formulated around another relatively unknown event that occured beneath the tracks of Line 2 in the Metro subway system between Belleville and Menilmontant stations in 1903. An early model wood subway train caught fi re near Belleville station but was extinguished. The sparks of the train caused another fi re at Couronnes but eager passengers demanded the train continue despite the fi re. Between the Couronnes and Menilmontant stations the fi re spread drastically. The end result of this catastrophe left 84 dead, most of whom died from smoke asphyxiation. Our response to this tragedy was to highlight the event through a implied path of a graffi ti decal we made that lead the viewer to a small but easily missed historical plaque dedicated to this accident. To create an experiential element we devised a monument that would bring you down below the streets to see the metro fi re of 1903. This was subtly accomplished through the use of tea candles and other items to the right. This monument brings to light an event most French did not know about.

“The world we live in today moves at a faster pace than ever before. Those who speed haphazardly to their own destinations are distracted by routine, and moments in time are often forgotten. If one is truly aware of their surroundings, they will pause to discover the infl uential layers of the environment.”

Golf ridge ResidenceThe Golf Ridge Villa homes residential neighborhood is an up and coming development in this suburban community. This was the selected site for my Building Systems 1 course which dealt with residential wood frame construction. I chose specifi cally what lot the home would be hypothetically built on. This allowed for each customizable home to have its own identity in a sea of surrounding modularity. This semester long project included multiple working drawings for various parts of the house. This home was designed for a supposed client with a wife and two children. Materials chosen for the exterior facing was based off of neighborhood guidelines; many of which included vinyl and brick facing. Besides working with the various connections of residential construction, the design aspect of functionality came into play as well. Components such as the developed lower level gives residents the extra space needed to perform activities without distraction. The thoughtfully placed trees of various species create a small shield against the golf course right behind the backyard.

vegas medical centerThis commercial development project as a medical offi ce building came from a precedent of a currently partially occupied but built building. in Novi, MI. This was the selected project for my Building Systems 2 course which focused on commercial development using steel construction. The knowledge of the various types of connections for the project was critical. In addition to developing a medical offi ce building each individual in the course had their own location for where the building would be constructed. So depending on where one was located within the United States certain design decisions might be made to better the construction of the building. My hypothetical site was in Las Vegas. So a major consideration for my project was the hot and arid climate this region has. The use of sun shades on the southern exposed facade reduces the heat temperature. Also, the use of a TPO white membrane on the roof defl ects the heat rather than draw it in. Transparency was added only when needed. A small curtainwall exists on the northern side where less light will enter in to this steel constructed building.
