The Algae Production Incubator in Harrodsburg, Kentucky is a proposed multi-use research facility. Designed in collaboration with the UK Center for Applied Energy Research, the facility will act as a means for cleaner coal emissions research through the growing and harvesting of algae grown with excess CO2 from the nearby coal-fired powerplant. Consisting of a main building and five independent research facilities, the site will serve as a premier research facility for the state and private sector. The complex was designed with geographical and environmental concerns in mind as well as to promote interaction between researchers and support staff.

The building facade was designed to respond to the public/private conditions of the interior program as well as to offset the negative heat and uncontrolled lighting effects of year-round sunlight. A density grid was developed, and employed through mullions and transoms, to respond to these conditions. Louvers were added to deflect additional sunlight and were employed in a gradiant based on direc-tional daylight intensity with a thicker concentration on the building’s south face.

Beginning with two buildings to seperate the Main Building and Algaepreneurs, the form resonds to the geographic and environmental conditions of the site. The second iteration shows a more developed conneciton between the two build-ings and the inclusion of individual and combined outside spaces meant to promote interaction between the users. The third shows further development of the combined courtyard with a ramp and stair system to navigate each building level. The final iteration has a fully developed interior courtyard space with greenscape, a finalized form to provide sight lines and provide context in the hillside, and facade conditions to respond to environmental concerns.

Three different cubes were designed to interact with the steps at the approriate scale for the stairs and human interaction. This allowed for a multitude of arrangement patterns as well as for easy storage in a repeating stackable combination.

The materiality of each cube varies from rigid to soft and a combination of both. Each cube exists in each material to provide multiple options for use, whether it’s seating, foot-rests or tabletops.

Observing Berlin as a city in motion, temporary spaces are created when not in use by their typical programs. In the case of the U-bahn and S-bahn train system entrances, these temporary spaces only occur when the trains are closed late at night. During that time, a proposed small-scale kino (German movie theater) would occupy the steps. This would include interjectory architecture that is affected and changed by the user. Cubes designed to interact with the steps and one another help to adjust the scale of the steps to assume a more ergo-nomic form. The cubes are able to be arranged by the user when the kino is in use and removed during the day when the train is operating. When not in use during the trains operating hours, the cubes can be stored in a patterned nesting display until the next time of need.

The client was in search of New York residence serving as an artist live-in studio and a gallery for small exhibitions. With an already present grid and the works of Richard Meier as inspiration, the design parameters were set. The desired public and private conditions were accomplished using a system of alternating double height spaces. The form was manipulated to protect the privacy of the living area while providing a comfortable public space. Additionally, major circulation paths followed the already present grid creating orthagonal flow through the residence. The more private spaces were extruded away from the building to show contrast between the two halves. By pushing the private spaces away, this allowed the inclusion of large windows for the use of natural lighting while maintaining privacy from the street level. The public level occurs in context of the rest of the street level buildings and offers an inviting approach for public gallery events. The materiality of the public levels is reflec-tive of the surrounding buildings while the upper levels consists of contrasting materials to respresent the change to a private space.

Iterative Sketches

Exploded Axonometric

This jewelry/furniture design studio employed architectural design strategies and techtonics to a smaller scale pendant design. The design was broken down into the three design elements of line, plane, and mass. Each element was to be used in a composition pendant piece. Using the theme of intersection, each element is used and intersected by each other element at least once. The figure-ground relationship begins with the plane but changes based on the hanging of the pendant on the body or on the point of focus when holding.

This jewelry/furniture design studio employed architectural design strategies and techtonics to a smaller scale shelf design. Using the basic design element of a planar surface, the design is based on a simple relation-ship of the shelf as a section of wall. The planar area is defined and then lifted away from the wall. Smaller ratios of space are then manipulated to create a combination of public display space and private storage. The shelf would served as a maniuplation of an area of wall and be seemlessly integrated into the wall when built.

Seeking a means of expanding downtown and connecting outer and inner commercial zones, a mixed-use commercial and residential tower in the East End of Lexington is proposed. The East Third Street Tower would provide the necessary contextual connection between downtown and the surrounding urban area. The tower contains a grocery store, gallery, fabrication facility, fitness facility and live/work apartments. The intersection of many non-convential programs served as inspiration for the form, two towers intersecting at two points. The condi-tions created by the tower additionally allowed for a unique structrual use of the diagrid that also provides a contrast between the two halves.
