The reason why I want to join the health and wellness career path is because I want to help people and make a difference in their lives. In Health care, it is very hard, because if you mess up in a building its going to affect tremendously. The Health and Wellness track I feel affects more of a person than any other specific area in architecture. There are more of responsibilities to create a functional building in healthcare than any other areas. They really focus on the client and the user of the building. If I can make a difference in the patients road to recovery a bit easier, I would be happy to be there. If I can be a part of creating a space for healers to easier to do their jobs, easier for them to move quickly to assist their patients, a place for them to feel comfortable to work to cure their patients. If I can create a space that creates a patient to ease their pain on their road to healing, create a space for a person to recover is a part of the beginning of a person or the peaceful departure of a person would be my pleasure. Even if Im not directly curing a patient I can be happy that I was in part of creating a space that are comfortable for them to heal.

A building can tell a story. I would like to draw a story of Life and CARE.We are here to interpret the clients needs and make sure the care and their story is told in the design from start to finish. A design starts with the story and ends with a building that reflects the story and creates protection.

Destruction hits Moore, Oklahoma on May 20, 2013. 23 Lives were taken at the end of the E5 tornado. The tragedy affected families and the community and thousands of homes were destroyed. Now the question is how do they can pick up from losing their house and moving forward creating a new home? The community is still mourning but is in a state of healing. This design is meant to act as a place for the community to heal by drawing them together madstone concept.

Like in the hybrid model, we explored the site forces of the main axes and the rhythm. It eventually became a hybrid of both the structure and sculpture models. However, the focal point of our design is the idea of a madstone. The madstone is a local tradition that has actually comes from the gut of a cow and is passed from down through families and possesses healing powers. But we didnt want it to be a literal madstone so we looked at the work of James Turrell, especially his sky rooms. We were drawn to its subtle nature and how it encourages the viewer to look up at the sky that brought so much destruction and reflect on the lives lost. So this space begins to take on bigger meaning as a memorial. We also looked at the Native American culture. We took the comforting womb-like nature of a papoose as well as the texture and rhythm of a grass hut. It is strategically placed along the main axis of the park to invite them into the space as a sort of beacon for the community. Retail space surrounds the madstone to help bring in revenue as well as encourage vertical movement so the public can experience this sculpture on multiple levels. Additionally it is over the FEMA shelter to protect from further lives being lost. It placement is fits right in with the way tornado shelters have been created from years. It is rooted in the ground so people can descend for safety and rise up from the rubble.

Many of our drawing use other media to express the bigger meanings that we want the design to project. Each one of our drawings are art piece for the community, it is a painterly to that express the solidity and warmth of this mad stone. When all the surrounding buildings and spaces fade away, this building will still be standing. The warmth and unique image that this building illuminates will attract people to this place and furthermore strengthen the community by encouraging interaction. We intended the design to act not only as a home for the residences but for the community as a whole and as well as the future of Moore.

HYBRID MODEL

STRUCTURAL MODEL

The hybrid model is a case of solve the site forces that acts upon the area. We have taken account the boundary lines,neighbor building lines, the future park that will coexist on the site across our site. The site natu-ral forces, sunlight and wind. The railroad also considered a major factor.We were working with sculpture and space. We use trans-parency for light and the raised memorial space.

The structural mod-el shows a part of a building the beams will hold the sculpture and the residential will be made out of wooden materials. The vertical mall is made out of light material. There will be BEAMS that extents out to hold the memorial sculpture.

The SUSTAINABLE charged Studio Summer 2013

This studio is an addition to Marvin Hall. This is an lecture hall for the Architecture School building.

My Performance Specification is that the build-ing is acting like a TREE. The building is ele-vated.Underneath the building I propose a series of columns, which one will experience a forest of concrete columns. These column will also a structural asset for the building.

There are space around the lecture hall that acts as a gathering space for the students or pedestrians can converse on the lecture that had just been taken place.

The main focus on the four week long course is to incorporate some sustainable techniques to the design. This building explore the design for light, natural ventilation and acoustics for the lecture.

The story of the Lawrence Art Center, concept created in Spring of 2013 starts with the gallery. The it takes you into a journey while you travel through the building. The concept is while walking through the building it is like walking through a movie. The focal points are scenes from a movie that tells a story of how art is created. The story of how an artist creates his/her masterpiece.

The idea of my design is that while one navigates through the building the space is directing a path for the building that tells the story.

This space is for guest artists that has a art workshop and their families would live there. These artist would be funded by the existing Lawrence Art Center that is neigh-boring at Downtown Lawrence. The program includes living quarters for the artist, and space are artists workshop. I wanted to create a community spot for the family. Also I wanted to create a divider for the artist and the family living. For there may not be much distraction from the artist and his family. Ive made rooms that are specially for differ-ent types of artist. Also I wanted the public to see how the artist do at work and then there is a gallery to showcase the artwork of the artist.

In the analyzing of the Massachusetts street for a business incubation center. The concept of my design is having PODS that be-comes a private space for meetings with clients. The site is next to 715 restaurant and Eldridge Hotel. This program was to help small businesses to start building their companies. It was a place where a start up business have a place to conduct their business. So the areas in the building needed to be FLEXIBLE. Because there will be different business that will be coming through and use these space.

The FALL 2012 studio trained me to think in different ways to design. John Treffrys studio showed me that it is important to have a PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION in a design, to remind yourself on the decisions made reflect your overall concept. When one is thinking of designing they can fall back on the performance specification which ask does this reflect on my overall concept.

The studio taught me that a concept of a building can be pur-pose into anything. We have created a building that is in honor of an ideal of ours that had past away. My influences is BRUCE LEE. At first we deconstruction three objects and combine the three to make a cometary of the Honor. All of our projects were in the same site which is at South Park in Lawrence, Kansas.

Then we made a vertical building that was INSPIRED by our in-fluential person. The program entails a couple of living quarters. In the building will encase a special piece of the honoree.

Then we convert the building into a CABINET that the honoree would have used in his life time. The cabinet I Photoshop in Bruce Lees training sessions. My idea is that Bruce Lee would convert this cabinet to use for his TRAINING. He would make it as a training dummy.

The idea I had taken away from Johns Studio is that as archi-tects we will put numerous amount of time in a building and a person will only see only a little of all th work we had to do in the PROCESS.

CONCEPT for this project is a box within a box. The ex-terior double wall becomes the SHIELD for the residential. It was my FIRST time dealing with a program for a building. The program called for two apartments that will fit in a sloped site that sits on the Main Campus of KU behind Watson library building. My take on the design, I wanted to FRAME views of the campus and the city. I decided to stack the building because the rise of the building will give sights of the city. The challenge is to have BENEFITS on living on top and on bottom. There is need for PRIVACY of the residents because of the placement which it is noise from the campus.
