PROJECT CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTIONKansas State University’s Design + Make studio taught by El Dorado Inc. was given 9 glulam beams by Johnson County. The beams originally were to be installed into the King Louie Bowling Alley in Kansas City, but miss measurements caused them to be expendable in the renovations of King Louie. Through an extensive schematic design phase, the five students on the project designed a pavilion to be placed outside the Sunset Drive Office Building to be utilized by the workers and community. The students are completely responsible for all design, certification, documentation, material specifications, purchases, and fabrication. This architect became an AWS Certified Welder and was partially responsible for the structural integrity of the pavilion.

FABRICATION

Design, documentation, shop drawings, and fabrication was all the responsibility of the team members. This image is a fabrication

breakdown of a single bay system.

MOCKUPS:

The team designed and built a series of mockups for not only glulam base plates but also steal beam connections and ribs.

FABRICATION (opposite: left image):

This designer can be seen putting her welding certification to work as she begins to construct the ribs and base plates for the pavilion.

PRIMARY ROLES:

As a member of the JOCO Pavilion Team this designer’s primary roles were scheduling manager, certified welder, and co-designer. As scheduling manager the designer was responsible with time management, coordination with the general contractor, material deliveries, construction / fabrication breakdown, various milestones, and making sure the team progresses at a reasonable rate in order to complete on time.

ENVIRONMENTAL PULLPROJECT TYPE: HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIALLOCATION: REDHOOK NEWYORKDESIGN MEDIUMS: RHINO 4, ADOBE SUITESPRING 2013

A vacant lot in Red Hook New York is surrounded by an urbanized, built up setting. The objective of the “Environmental Pull” design is to draw in the natural elements of the area. Despite high density living accommodations, this new design incorporates the organic aspects of the environment and creates an inviting atmosphere.

Through form, visual penetration, and organic materials, the surrounding community is drawn into the space. The residential units are designed with habitable greenhouse corridors to create a “street front in the sky”. These inhabitable spaces contain foliage such as small trees and prairie grasses, creating desirable views with little to no upkeep. These habitable greenhouse spaces are equipped with operable windows and natural grass to create air filtration, creating the feel of one’s own front yard, while aiding/conserving energy.

“MAGIC BLOCK”

An organic, biodegradable soil substitute is used to minimize the load on areas containing greenery. It is a low density, light weight block made of natural fibers that offer nutrients for plants.

HOME FOR CONSERVATIONISTS

PROJECT TYPE: RESIDENTIAL LOCATION: MANHATTAN, KANSAS MEDIUMS: HAND DRAFTING (GRAPHITE), HAND MODEL BUILDING FALL 2011A theoretical project for two retired conservationists, located in the Konza Prairie of Manhattan, Kansas, was designed to be integrated into the landscape. Bamboo struts, placed along the living room and upper terrace mimic the prairie grasses, while offering sun-shading during the hot summer months. The soft organic shapes complement the natural materials (wood, stone, and slate).

The result: A calming natural abode with optimal views from all angles out onto the prairie.

THE POUR HOUSE - BREWERY

PROJECT TYPE: RESTAURANT/RETAILLOCATION: KANSAS CITY, MODESIGN MEDIUMS: REVIT 2013, RHINO 4, ADOBE SUITEFALL 2013

Micro-Breweries have increased significantly in the downtown Kansas City area in the past several years and have become a local and tourist attraction. 16,000 sq. ft. was designed to accommodate two local chefs wanting to open their own microbrewery along with a small adjoining kitchen to accompany their home-made beer. The location neighbors the Kansas City River Market, which draws residents together to trade and sell locally. This brewery will be used not only for its food and beverages but also as incentive to bring even more people to the area.

TRAUMA CENTERPROJECT TYPE: MEDICALLOCATION: ROATAN, HONDURASDESIGN MEDIUMS: REVIT 2013, ADOBE SUITEFALL 2012

A group effort to provide more medical care centers on the island of Roatan, Honduras. The design mimics the traditional building styles of the locals that is slowly dying away. The center has few staff and little to no funding from the government, self sufficiency and renewable energy are necessities in the solution. Solar panels on the south facing roof power air conditioning in the small, four room intensive care unit and lighting throughout the rest of the building. The entire structure is lifted two feet off the ground allowing a cool crawl space. The actual structure is very porous allowing maximum natural ventilation to flow through the building. The natives believe nature is the ultimate heeler. Only the intensive care unit is equipped with a closed envelope and air conditioning.

Kelsey Lind, Garric Baker, Tracy Ford.

VENTILATION AND COOLANT SYSTEMPersonal contribution/design

A new ventilation system was created using operable floor slats, much like window blinds, to capture air flowing through the ‘cool crawl’ underneath

the building and bring it up into the habitable spaces. The wall system is used to not only shade the structure but, when it rains, the water flows down the walls, protected by a hydro-barrier, to help cool the interiors.

The water then is filtered through a rock bed at the bottom of the structure which can then be utilized for non-consumption purposes.

CNC WORKPROJECT TYPE: FURNITURE / FABRICATIONDESIGN MEDIUMS: VECTRIC, VCARVE, RHINO, CNC SHARK, CLASSIC WOODWORKING

A standing jewelry box constructed of solid American Walnut was designed to fit a classical style. Digital means were used to program, design, and construct this piece, however the primary medium was a CNC router.

To further challenge the designer, once complete, a duplicat table was constructed using classic carpenter, rather than digital skills.

ABOUT ME5TH YEAR GRADUATE STUDENTKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITYCOLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING, AND DESIGN

My name is Anna Groppoli and I am a twenty two year old, fifth year masters of architecture student at Kansas State University. I grew up in historic Stillwater, Minnesota, which is what sparked my love of architecture. By age twelve, I was sure that design was what I was going to pursue in life. I continued to grow in my creativity by taking part in a wide variety of activities. The list is extensive but a few have been: becoming a proficient violinist, learning Vaganova Russian ballet, boxing, becoming a certified welder, landscaping for Prairie Restorations in Minnesota, and jewelry making.

I enjoy staying busy and am always up for trying something new.

BALLETI began vaganova russian ballet very late in life for a dancer. At age 16 I enrolled at Stillwater Academy of the Arts for Vaganova Russian Ballet. I have sinced performed in the seasonal Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Capellia, and various other point production. I continue to explore other types of dance styles today.

BOXINGTraditional olypic style boxing is

taught at K.O. Boxing in Manhattan, Kansas. I have been a part of the team

for two years and in the past, been a volunteer coach.

TRAVELAs a 22 year old I have been lucky enough to travel to

Roatan Honduras, Paris France, all of Italy, Dublin Ireland, Barcelona Spain, Chuburna Mexico, The U.S. Virgin

Islands, and the majority of the United States including Alaska. This image is a sketch of the little town of

Orvieto, Italy, where I lived for 4 months in 2014 studying architecture, culture, food, and religion.
