E-COMMERCE CONCEPT

PROJECT PROBLEM: Generate a facility program and design a

ten-thousand square foot E-Commerce office in Carbondale, IL.

PROJECT SOLUTION: Research has proven that there is a correlation

between workplace daylight exposure and office workers sleep, daily ac-

tivities and quality of life. Humans exposed to natural light are more posi-

tive, productive, and achieve a better sense of well-being. Encompassing

all directions of natural light, except direct exposure, into the design of

my project, I can achieve this goal of the contented, healthy office worker.

PROJECT PROBLEM: Design a tree house for a real life client’s prop-

erty in Costa Rica. The tree that will support the house is a strangler fig.

DESIGN III: FALL 2013

PROJECT SOLUTION: In Costa Rica there is a wet season and

dry season. The design for this tree house was to battle these

weather conditions. The design includes a secure, octagonal struc-

ture with a solid, pitched roof, open sides and long overhangs that

provides full shade without obstructing views. The double roof cu-

pola captures more light and applies a natural heat ventilation.

PROJECT PROBLEM: The ULI Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design

project, calls for a redesign of the Sulphur Dell district in Nashville, TN.

PROJECT SOLUTION: The Sulphur Dell district in Nashville will be

transformed based on an “Urban Campus” concept that focuses on

entertainment and healthy living activities. A campus style layout

will provide the necessary living and working walk-ability. Access

to the parks, gardens, baseball park, recreation center, and farm-

ers market will transform the district into a health-promoting site.

DESIGN IV: SPRING 2014

PREFORMING ARTSD E S I G N

PROJECT PROBLEM: Design Southern Illinois University Carbon-dale’s new Preforming Arts Center which will include a symphony hall to seat 500 attendees and a theater to seat 1,200 attendees.

PROJECT SOLUTION: The project site is located within 500 yards of a train track. In an effort to reduce unwanted noise, the theaters have no exterior walls. The theaters are distinguished through separate forms that can be recognized as they penetrate up through the structures that house them. The design of the site provides for two separate entrances which can be accessed on two different levels. The Main Entrance, which is located to the north and is constructed of primarily glass, offers a wel-coming perspective from the intersection of S Illinois Ave and W Mill St.

PROJECT PROBLEM: Study materials, systems and generate the doc-

umentation of construction drawings for complex multi-floor structures.

PROJECT SOLUTION: The drawings below are part of a com-

prehensive sheet set, detailing each materials arrangment

and system connections that support to hold up the struc-

ture. With a full understanding of each component, it was then

possible to complete the detailed problems assigned. Oth-

er technology courses include, Tech. I Wood and Tech. III Steel.
