Transit Hub - Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture, Japan

TRANSIT HUB - Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture, Japan

STUDIO SPRING 2014

After the 2011 tsunami destroyed the low-lying areas of Ofunato City, residential construction was limited to higher elevations. The master plan proposes a new regional park and lake which will act as a buffer against future tsunamis.

The train shed acts as an additional layer of protection for the city. It will dissipate the energy of incoming waves, and catches any debris brought in from the bay. The concrete vaulted structure is porous to allow pedestrians and cyclists to easily cross between the city and the park.

Solar Surf - Park City, UT

SOLAR SURF - Utah Olympic Park, Park City, Utah

STUDIO Fall 2013

An esquisse studio project which introduces the Rocky Mountain region to surfing. The form must attract  both professionals and novices to the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic ski jumps and luge track where they can learn to surf, or improve their abilities. The building will also host competitions. The tensile membrane structure allows one large open span, passive day lighting, and acts as a glowing beacon at night.

CHICAGO appLAB SUMMER 2013
Embed Studio with SOM

This research based studio combines students from planning and architecture to begin the process of Master Planning for the Chinatown community. With a strong ethnic community and distinct cultural identity, Chinatown is ready to take control of their destiny. Three major roads define the neighborhood. Wentworth Avenue is the historic commercial core, Cermak Road is the major east-west thoroughfare for the area, and Archer Avenue parallels the new shopping area. Enhancing the characteristics of each road will help to define the neighborhood even further.

Team members: Emily Black, Brian Galyean, Maren Hebdon, Sara Mees, Jody Zimmer

LIXIL International Design Competition - Hokkaido, Japan

GARDENHOUSE - Memu Meadows, Taiki-cho, Hokkaido, Japan

EXTRACURRICULAR SPRING, 2014

Lixil International University Architectural Competition
“Next Generation Sustainable House in Taiki-cho”
Productive Garden

http://www.lixiljsfound.or.jp/


Gardenhouse presents an opportunity for visitors to experience the natural beauty of life in the garden. By providing a space to enjoy garden living to the fullest, the building is central to this existence. Gardenhouse exists in harmony with nature during each season, celebrating the dynamic range of experiences that are a result of the local climate in Taiki-cho. The space provides the user with a multi-sensory experience, one that varies with each visit. Sited within the garden in Memu meadows, Gardenhouse extends its presence beyond the building envelope by inviting the sights, smells, tastes, textures, and sounds to permeate the space and create the feeling of existing in nature. The space functions as a focal point in the garden, the place where staff and guests alike come together to prepare meals, share stories, and celebrate life in an environmentally conscious space. Gardenhouse is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the users. During warmer months, the exterior envelope completely opens up to allow natural ventilation to passively cool the space while dissolving any barriers between the outside and inside. During the winter, Gardenhouse still provides expansive views to nature, but offers thermal comfort with high performing glass panels enclosing the space and snow retained on the roof for added insulation. The interior is warmed using a radiant floor system that receives heat generated from the process of composting garden and food waste resulting from the cyclic process of planting, harvesting, cooking, and eating within and without the Gardenhouse.

Team members: Steph Crabtree, Cody Gabaldon, and Jarrett Moe 

Faculty advisors: Mimi Locher and Jose Galarza
