INTEGRATED

Columbus Atheneum
Semester: Fall 2014
Location: Columbus, Indiana
Emphasis: Integration of natural

light control, structure,

envelope, and HVAC.
Duration: Three months
Program: Temporary Exhibit Hall,

Permanent Exhibit Hall,

Archives, Restoration

space, Theatre, Cafe,

Library, sculpture gardens,

and guest artists housing.
Response: Because our site was

a long, narrow lot with

minimal southern exposure

and a parking garage to

the west, the project

emphasizes natural light

from the expansive East

facade. Galleries are

located south, with

functions organized with

increasing privacy to the

North and in upper floors.
Integration: Columns, HVAC

equipment, and lighting are

housed in the stone-panel
clad piers. These piers

provide the necessary

enclosure, support both

curtain walls and the

screening metal mesh, and

partition the interior space.

Light: Sight analysis of the surrounding area revealed that Washington Street (our east
facade) was a major pedestrian and vehicle route and the primary source of light for a
continuous procession of businesses which utilize large windows for pedestrian views
and daylighting, though most featured some type of light control.

Circulation: The activation of the East edge of the building occurs primarily through
circulation. On the cround floor, the stone-panel piers convert the massive exhibit floor into bays,
within which visitors ambulate around displays. On the third floor, the permanent gallery opens
to a patio divided from the street by the metal mesh screen, controlling sunlight and sound while
still offering an outdoor respite from the gallery for reflection both on the artwork and the activity
of Columbus.

Circulation for the rooftop sculpture garden (reserved for residences) similarly directs
visiting artists to circulate around and between skylights with views down into the permanent
gallery, with the common circulation lane along the East facade. This private vantage point
allows artists privacy to view the downtown activity and reflect on Columbus architecture.

COMMUNITY

Giovannis Restaurant
Semester: Spring 2014
Location: West Liberty, Kentucky
Duration: Half Semester
Partner: Elisa Padilla
Prompt: In September 2012, a

pair of tornadoes hit Monroe

County, KY, destroying 30%

of businesses in West

Liberty including the local

restaurant Giovannis. We

were tasked with bringing

back this community

favorite on a long, narrow

site, a characteristic

enhanced by the required
drive-through.
Design Response: More than

food, the community

lost a crucial experience

to the tornadoes: the

shared meal. When

imagining the new

Giovannis, we wanted to

emphasize the communal

nature of dining and the

facilitory role of the

restaurant to bringing

disparate elements together.

Site- Our site was a long, thin parcel visible from the main street,

though set back on a parallel road. The challenge became
5

how to feature a pleasant indoor dining experience despite

the narrowness of the site, exacerbated by the requirement

of a drive-through circumnavigating the restaraunt.

6
Interior Dining Experience- To facilitate community congregation despite the convenience of

the drive-through, we maximized flexibility and customization of the dining area. The

modular layout is easily reconfigured for large groups, and ceiling-mounted

descending screens provide separation from the buffet and other tables. In addition,

all dine-in customers for the first month are given a tile to decorate which will contribute

to the facade, allowing the community to mark their place in Giovannis.

tables speak to the harvest
and economy of the area.

ConStrata Market
Semester: Spring 2013
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Emphasis: Pedestrian Visibility
Duration: Full Semester
Partner: Stephen Renard
Prompt: A surgical intervention

of market and public space

for the rejuvenation of a site

in the Barcelonetta
neighborhood.
Operative Map: To enhance the

surprisingly low visibility of

our site, we identified 20

points- 10 by mapping

pedestrian traffic and 10

centroid of nearby public

spaces, and mapped high/

low visibility areas when

facing our site. We then

applied a response to each

condition, meant to attract

visual attention, and thus

attendance, to our market.

Four Systems: We identified a unique response to each visibility condition from the operative mapping process which would combine to

enhance the visual interest of previously ignored or under-utilized space. The result is a visual draw toward the market, particularly

through the new elevated footbridge, and the creation of two servant spaces, the Pavilion and the Plaza.

High Visibility- Pedestrian Traffic

Elevated Pedestrian Walkway

Market: A traditional Barcelona Market, idealized

as a plaza covered by sails, rather than an

enclosed building.

Plaza: Beside a museum and cafe, a grove of

pre-existing trees supports sails, creating a

casual, comfortable plaza for vendors.

Pavilion: The previously empty plaza overlooking

the marina was an oversized sidewalk, now

a place for social gathering and vending.

Praxi Childrens &

Community Theatre
Semester: Fall 2013
Location: Downtown Bryan, TX
Parti: Transparent Dishonesty
Duration: Full Semester
Partner: Kindall Stephens
Prompt: A fully realized Black Box

Theatre complex for

Downtown Bryan, Tx.
Response: The program

is divided between two

experiences: the public

and the private, with an

enclosed courtyard

between them. This

allows the building to

embody the mask of

acting, the facade an actor

wears while performing,

enhancing the mystery

and allure of theatre.

Senior Community
Center
Semester: Fall 2011
Prompt: Provide a cultural

center for downtown Bryan,

TX, with emphasis on

senior citizens.
Inspiration: Utilize the

psychological and

therapeutic effects of

nature to create a

refreshing experience

attractive to senior

citizens and community
interaction.
Partner: Allejandra Poujol

Evening Festivals: Downtown Bryan hosts a monthly

outdoor festival featuring local artists, musicians,

and crafts, so our design emphasized pedestrian

connection and social gathering flexibility.

Natural Light: Circulation surrounds the courtyard for wayfinding and pleasant views, and includes the community

Landscaping
Semester: Summer 2013
Location: Abilene, TX
Emphasis: Comfort, ease of
maintenance
Prompt: New homeowner asked

for landscaping for front

and back yards, with

emphasis on a convenient

dog run and water-efficient

Xeriscaping in the

backyard. The back yard

pergola was already under
construction.

The Palm House

Ministries
Semester: Summer 2014
Location: Abilene, TX
Emphasis: Flexibility, event

hosting & comfort
Prompt: The Palm House

ministries operates a

house in a particularly low socioeconomic

neighborhood in Abilene,

Texas for the purpose of

hosting community

events and providing

resources (including

temporary accomodations)

for disadvantaged locals.

The back yard of this

property is undeutilized

and overtaken by a large

carport and pair of barns.

The managers would like

to convert this yard to

an event space for after
school programs and

community barbecues. .

Hendrick Home for

Children
Firm: CADCO Architects
Engineers, Inc.
Location: Abilene, TX
Contribution: Design of facades

and exterior spaces,

virtual modeling.
Design Considerations: Adding

to the existing campus,

this new front entry facility,

a mix of housing and

visitor center, strove to

refresh the campus with

comfortable exterior

spaces where children

could have privacy, but

remain safe and monitored

by their host parents.
Solution: Integrating a series

of pergolas around

doorways created a set of

exterior porches, which

ensured a comfortable

residential feeling to the

larger complex.

Aspermont Elementary
Firm: CADCO Architects
Engineers, Inc.
Location: Abilene, TX
Contribution: Design of facades,

portico, and courtyard.
Design Considerations:

With exterior spaces

in Texas, particularly large

concrete surfaces where

children would spend

recess, heat was a

primary concern. With the

portico, a solid expanse

over the desired covered

area produced dark

corners and poor drainage.
Solution: Utilizing standard
dimension canopy structures

and concrete planters

provides low-cost, flexible

cooling and a dynamic

space for children to play.

Scan or click QR code

for video.

Supporting the portico with cylindrical beams from the adjacent wall allowed light to enter the
darkest corners of the entry, while thick walls with columns above 8 mediated south light.
