GIS WorkAnalysis of Bob Evans current locations in relation to post-graduate population centers using GIS data. Bob Ev-ans restaurants were primarily located in suburban areas, far away from concentrated areas of millennials located in downtown centers.

DesignDesign concept provides customers an easy direc-

tional choice upon entering the restaurant based on current preference. Those who need to grab-and-go can go to the left and order a quick sandwich, pastry, or coffee from the cafe, while those who would like to sit down can go to the right and or-der their customized sandwich from a touch screen order system. The varied seating types provide an easy choice of eating experience for the patron. There is also seating options for those who have

more time to socialize or work for a period of time.

Central wall solidifies as patrons move deeper into the restaurant, directingcirculation in almost identical ways with regard to form on eachend of the wall.

Central wall immediately directs traffic upon entry, giving an option of a quick,grab-and-go meal, or a custom dine-in experience with multiple scales of seating.

Model and Presentation ReactionThe model was created by laminating painted sheets of plexiglass to form the walls and sof-fits. Rich color was only applied in areas of design significance to highlight the choices made. The design was very well received by the Bob Evans design team and executives, citing that the smart and simple design addressed the current restaurants lack of adaptivity to a fast paced urban lifestyle. Bob Evans was also impressed with the changes made to the menu. BE recog-nized that the simplification of its current large and diverse menu made it easier for the consumer

to believe it’s freshness as authentic.

Site Plan Vertical Organization

Project: The “L” Project Pre Fab Housing

Purpose: Redesigning student housing to meet current needs given existing site constraints

Process: • Separate the building into three sep¬arate vertical zones• Development of restricted access to the upper levels to CWRU students and dorm residents• Establish an interstitial space on the lower levels allowing the surrounding community to mingle• Provide an additional layer to the vertical separation for access to the residence hall lounge space of each floor.

Result: This design utilizes the urban setting of the cam¬pus to integrate the community with the new housing facility.

The Project “ ”

Spring 2013 - Pre-Fab House

Purpose: Creating a pre-fabricated housing system which can adapt to a variety of family sizes.

Process: • Utilize an “L” shape module as a building block for the spaces.• The “L” module can interlock and be manip¬ulated to accommodate various spaces and sizes• Developed a central core, a courtyard creator, or other features in response to the topographical conditions Result: This design provides a multifamily housing concept in a small footprint across various terrains.

CircumVENTionSpring 2012 - Installation

Purpose: Create a pavilion that simulated or released a certain emotion.

Process: • Developed a wooden structure that simulated the build up and release of frustration.• Design of undulating walls which taper and rotate from the entrance, then expand quickly at the designat¬ed “re-lease point” • The foam noodles provide a physical outlet of release at the point of emotional overflow.

Result: This design was constructed and received positive reviews from the Knowlton Faculty

A Unified CollisionProject: Museum/architecture school in downtown Buenos Aires

Purpose: Create a building that represented the collision of culture at the site.

Process: • Organized con¬cepts to spatially organize the number of programs defined for the museum and the school• Developed a semi-transparent wall model• Conceived a concept of how the mu¬seum are bound together by colliding program and similar core structure, while still maintaining unique spacial qualities required by each individual program

Result: The design successfully integrated both the new and old in a consistent manner
