The focus of the first part of the Urban studio projects is a group project that dealt with a new master plan and suggestions for the future of Talladega , AL. In these proposals we looked at ways to make the city and historic downtown more pedestrian friendly and to allow for further growth of the city. Other things looked at were things like consolidating the cities government facilities into one location , creating destination functions in the historic down town, connecting the various institutions around Talladega, and creating gathering spaces.

Fall 2011-Spring 2012
In the 2nd half of the semester we began our architectural part of the project. We designed a trade school based around the Build Alabama program. Part of the purpose of this building was to increase the awareness to the public of the trades and to change its perception. In this building it allows the public to have views of the exhibit hall on the lower floor that is interior and exterior as they pass by the building. Internally all the spaces are focused around a lower floor that is open with workshops in it to allow the trades internally to know what each other is doing and to allow them to work together better.

The focus of this project was to address the current problems of the fraternity house by renovating the existing house and making a small addition. This is accomplished by adding space on the top floor, along the sides of the center bar, to allow larger single person bedrooms with shared or private bathrooms for up to 16 occupants. The entry floor is turned into the formal space of the fraternity with a large dining/meeting space, the president’s office, bathrooms, and a formal living room. The ground floor is used as a social space with large open rooms for events, meetings, or relaxing. The use of different materials and lighting conditions creates distinct atmospheres in each space.

In this project we were renovating an old building from the 1940s to accommodate a conference center and rentable office space. The central skylight and heleostat are used to get light down to the conference space which occupies the bottom 3 floors. This atrium space also gives the office space more natural light and desired interior space.

This was a 20 week long project in which a children’s hospital that is around 500,00 square feet. The main focus of this hospital is on the patient floors. They are developed around a central sun space where all the public functions are located, including a waiting area; the children’s play area, elevator and stair lobby. Patient rooms on the north side shift in and out and realign to provide spectacular views of Lake Michigan and Seneca Park. As the room’s shift, windows open up on the sides to reduce glare and provide more views. In the center of the hospital, parents, visitors and staff transfer at a sky lobby creating an active public place. This place includes a rehab center, cafeteria, chapel, and a healing roof garden. This large internal public space also separates visitors to in-patient and outpatient care. On The ground floor, drop-off and pick-up is similar to the women’s hospital next door. This allows a green walkway between the two hospitals to connect the hospital district to the museum and park on Chicago Avenue.

This project was an exploration of the capacity of wood and how to use it as the primary structure of large open spaces. Hyperbolic parabolas were used to create a curved exterior skin on the side of the hill where the museum sits. The layout was based on the curve of the hill and two off-set circles which determined the size of the bays and the height of the roof. This project received third place in the Alabama Forestry Wood Design Competition, which is a 2nd year competition in which a primarily wooden building is designed.

Worked with 15 other students to design and start building the house. The first half was intended to be designed and built by the fall semester and then expanded by 17 other students in the spring semester. The house was built for 64-year-old Rose Lee Turner and her two sons, BJ and Jason. The house, when finished, was three bedrooms one bath.
