Before

The following images were produced as part of a visioning session that allowed the staff at New Legacy to see the
potential within their existing facility. The work was then compiled into presentation boards, which the staff utilized as
part of a marketing and fund raising campaign throughout the state of Kentucky.
“New Legacy Reentry Corporation is a faith based community organization that is committed to breaking the cycle of
chronic recidivism for ex-offenders (men and women) who were previously incarcerated for non violent, nonsexual crimes.
In addition, New Legacy provides a separate program which attends to the needs of veterans who may face the following;
joblessness,homelessness,and medical issues. Our program utilizes seven core components to address the societal stigma
and challenges that ex-offenders and homeless veterans face, as they find substantive ways to integrate, successfully, back into
mainstream society.”
Confronting The Past, To Redesign The Future
Professional Work: Barras Architects
Architecture is a service, but whom does it serve? Homelessness, addiction, and poverty are very real issues
that plague millions worldwide. In recent years America has found itself in an economic downturn equal to
the Great Depression. The United States Census Bureau estimates that up thirty-five percent of Detroits
citizens are living in poverty (MI Census). Currently, architects have a very limited role in the rehabilitation of
this evergrowing collection of global citizens. It is now more important than ever that architects look beyond
typical methods of design, and utilize their skills to make positive change in the lives of the needy. This project
attempts to look past standard methods of construction and find a holistic approach that focuses on the needs
of the impoverished. Success in design will be measured through the rehabilitation of each individual associate.
By placing responsibility, purpose, and encouragement at the forefront, the project provides an environment
where growth, healing, and empowerment all work hand in hand to rebuild a broken city, one person at a time.
In order for this to happen, architects must set aside their ego and encourage a collaborative design process
where all parties are given the opportunity to teach, learn, heal, grow, and partake in the shaping of our world.

Growth + Construction
Each unit will be constructed using various techniques that allow for maximum flexibility and adaptablility. Exposed Structure and moveable wall patricians provide opportunities for easy configuration and reconfiguration within the spaces. In addition, the raised floor supplies quick access to all HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. By combining these techniques the spaces will be able to continually adapt and grow along side of the associates throughout their lives.

Change can not and will not happen at once. The only way to effectly make a positive impact on the city as a whole, is by first empowering the members of the community. It is because of this that the project uses a strategy with three phases. Each has a specific set of goals that build upon the last. The first phase creates an environment conducive to healing and growth, which establishes a foundation for future development. Phase two increases the scope and builds upon phase one by encouraging the members of the community to make positive change on their own. The last phase allows the community to effectly take ownership of their environment and become independent.

Studio To Empower People
Architecture is a service, but whom does it serve? Currently architects have a very limited role in the rehabilitation of distressed areas. The vast majority of architects design for clients that have significant budgets and resources at their disposal. Once more, many who design complete their projects and move along, leaving behind persons not equipped with the means to maintain their environment. This is never more evident than at the local Acadiana Boys and Girls Club. In years past, UL Lafayette has helped in design and construction, but neglected to aid the BGC in maintenance. Much of the playground area has depreciated and is unfit for use. Furthermore, the large canopy that covered the basketball court has deteriorated and is no longer standing. This has forced many children inside for fear of the heat.
Studio To Empower People is a collaborative effort pairing the knowledge and resources of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Acadiana. We strive towards making a significant difference within our own community by hearing the needs and working with those who are directly influenced. We are focused on teaching the importance of community building through collaborative design efforts and architectural investigation.
Our work began by asking two questions, “What do you need?” and “How can we help you?” The students responded positively and the scope of work quickly began to develop. The larger STEP group broke into three teams each with their own mission. The Red Bee’s have begun designing and building multi-use seating around the basketball court. The 4 Leaf Clover’s are constructing new equipment and preforming much needed maintenance to the existing playground structure. Lastly, the Scarecrow’s, have taken the opportunity to educate the students on sustainable practices. The design of a new agricultural center will allow the students to grow vegetables, harvest their own rainwater, and provide compost for the plants. By including the children in every stage of the design process, we are able to transform their personal ideas, with resourcefulness, into a reality. They ARE the thinkers, the designers, and the inspiration for every decision we make.
Art Divas
The Art Divas is a group of committed and artistically-inclined females, dedicated towards creating memorable experiences at STEP events. They are focused on making one-of-a-kind magnets that can be enjoyed, and purchased, by people of all ages for the fundraiser. They are also in charge of creating an unforgettable end of the year party for their peers, parents, and STEP members. They are the masterminds behind the greatness of STEP events.
Red Bees
As a group, our main goals are to provide “multi-use” seating around the court and provide an experiential entrance. In addressing the seating issue around the court, we questioned ways on how to make it multi-use and what materials would be inexpensive and most efficient. With a little observation and conversation with the kids, we saw the opportunity for the benches to become something more than a place for the kids to just sit. As a multi-use bench, it could be used as a drink and snack stand, stage, planter box, or trash can. When it comes to materials, we realized the project could get expensive really quickly if we bought everything new. The idea of using donated shipping pallets as a base came up and would provide us with more than half of the structural material we would have to purchase. Efficiency both in materiality and use is the key to this project being a success. In response to the entrance, we are trying to provide a space that both welcomes the visitors and provides a sense of place and space. The entrance to the club is going to be something that speaks to what happens there and who is there. We don’t think that getting people to go through the entrance will be difficult, but getting people to stay and interact there is a different challenge. Both projects are very unique to the club and will hopefully be there long enough for different groups of students to enjoy.
4 Leaf Clovers
The Boys and Girls Club Granberry Unit is place full of energy, it pours out of every one of the children, but the appearance of this place does not necessarily go along with this lively atmosphere. We, The 4 Leaf Clovers, took on the playground as our project, with a basic and simple goal; allow the playground to reflect the lively and energetic nature of the students. The playground is cramped into an area in between two buildings; in addition to the monkey bars and slide there are many existing platforms and posts to work into the new designs; the space is in much need of organization and definition. The process started with us finding out the Boys and Girls needs and wants, since they will of course be the users; they were asked to draw out things they wanted to be done and given no limitations. This of course yielded interesting ideas, anything from a clubhouse to a football field to a water slide, they wanted it all. We continued to talk with them and iron out the ideas till we had some buildable projects; these projects include a tire swing, new slide, shading, and tire tunnels. The Tire Swing stood out as the most exciting project, so it was the first idea to enter the building phase; once the first iteration was installed the project went through a continuous design feedback loop until every issue was resolved. The boys and girls constant testing of the swing made it possible for us to make necessary changes and end up with a safe and successful design. This same design feedback loop will be reused for each project until the playground is to a level of completion so that each of the individual past works as one cohesive play area.
Scarecrows
The Scarecrows of the Boys and Girls Club are responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of their new agricultural center. The purpose of the agricultural center is to coincide with an established cooking class at the Boys and Girls Club. As their crew name indicates, the Scarecrows are the primary guardians of their crops that will be housed in two new raised garden beds. Multiple herbal and floral troughs will complement the area along with a natural water-harvesting cistern for easy access to watering cans. The upkeep of the two worm bins, which will produce compost, will also be a part of the Scarecrows day-to-day duties. The addition of an overhead vine terrace to the existing fence structure in the area will provide the Scarecrows with shade from the Louisiana sunshine. The overhang will be complete with multi-use benches for seating and workspace. The goal of the Scarecrow design team was to create a functional agricultural space that would serve as a hands-on learning environment. Main design considerations include: positive environmental impact, utilization of existing structure, repurposing of materials found on-site, and ease of maintenance (repair / replacement).

The global population is dependent on computers and the internet as the main source of communication and
transfer of digital information. The community of Mukuru Kwa Njenga, a potential asset to the global economy,
needs to acquire the knowledge and be able to access the required resources to take its place in the global
economy. Eru-Dition will encourage the Mukuru Kwa Njenga neighborhood to join together to produce a
community center. Helping with construction will encourage community members to take ownership of the
site and its functions. The community will develop and learn from its digital computing technologies, market
agriculture center, and locally produced entertainment. With community involvement, Eru-Dition will become
a building block for the future that distributes global information and ultimately improves lives.
