Sol Lewitt was the artist chosen for the artist gallery project. Ample wall space was need for his larger works as well as a taller ceiling height in some

places to accomodate some of his larger structures. For these reasons a wrap was created that would fold around itself and allow for a mixture of floor plan choices to allow for Sol’s artwork. This concrete wrap folds over the top

over the top of itself and plunges back to the ground to create a dynamic multi-use atrium space. The floor plates weave around and through the wrap

without touching it allowing it to stand as an object on the site that happens to house an art gallery but could be easily converted to another use.

Artist ColonyTopeka, Kansas

The idea for this artist colony was founded through the research of Topeka’s capital area and how the grid of the business district runs perpindicular to the river while the residential grid surrounding it has a slight angle. To help engage the community of a dying business area near a major highway both grids were brought through the site and what resulted was a courtyard scheme that allowed for public viewing of artists at work as well as that park space that was lacking in northern Topeka. Included in the program is a theatre, art gallery, residences for the live-in artists and studios for them to work in.

Visitors CenterKonza Prairie, Kansas

For the Konza Prairie visitors center project inspiration was taken from what existed on site. This includes the largest stone barn in America and other older farm houses and structures that add a bit of history to the site. For the visitors

center part of the project a simple system utilized by the hay sheds on site was integrated into a large scale with glazing potrusions in the roof to allow for different daylighting affects. An outdoor courtyard on the west end of the center allowed for one to take in the surroundings and potentially hide from the sun or wind. The administration part of the program was housed in a building that stepped down and created a 7 shape with the visitors center. The idea is to tone down this pro-

gram to the visitors eye as it looks similar to the stone walls that cross the property.

INTERACTION

IIT Architecture AnnexChicago, Illinois

It is hard to compete with the iconic Crown Hall designed by Mies Van Der Rohe. Thus, the con-cept of this project was to keep a low key neutral building that would es-sentially slide a building under the carpert or turf that existed on our site. Original Mies interaction ideas and student in-terviews helped bolster this decision. The cambered concrete two way slab construction with up turned beams creates nice rolling hills intended to be ovvupi-able. The offset of the outer hills is a daylighting and entry strategy so as to disguise this construction not as a building but a mat of buildings with no real main entrance facing the main road (State Street). This kept with the theme of the cam-pus that every building stood on it’s own with the spaces between being their only connection with each other.

Water ColorsOrvieto, Italy

While studying abroad many memories and impressions were conveyed through water color. The project above is a sa-cred space on a thin gardened site along the cliff edge of the hill town of Orvieto. The concept is simple in form and idea, the real trick came with the medium. During my studies in Italy we were encouraged to water color things that we saw and try to capture their essence or texture on the 2-D paper. The following two pages are some of my better works throughout studying abroad.
