PROJECT BRIEF: As climate change and human pollution become more corrosive in America’s [sub]urban context, the necessity for sustainable architecture only increases. This School of Education is a juried piece of Judson University’s master plan to meet the future need for additional space and campus notoriety. The driver of the form and program of the architecture are tied strongly to the goal of achieving the Living Building Challenge. In addition to meeting the standards of the LBC, the design must connect the pastoral campus that lies to the south of our site with Lindner tower to the north The school is intended to not only instruct college learners on how to become the teachers of our future children, but also educate them on sustainability and responsible design.
DESIGN NARRATIVE: Thisprojectgenerallyfocusedontheideaandexecutionofsustainability.Thisisnotspecificto, but includes building orientation, passive systems such as shading devices and louvers, and highly technical systems like photovoltaics and wind turbines. In addition to these solutions and other sus-tainable architecture, the project demonstrates to the patron sustainability through observation and the environment it creates on campus.

Water becomes a visual and acoustic part of daily life. The rain water collected from the roof tops comes down off the building and into rain gardens and reservoirs. This water can now be used to irrigate the urban agri-culture on site and act as a teaching device for visitors.
Rain water travels from the impervious sloped roof surfaces onto the pervious roof courtyard to be ab-sorbed. Overflow is drained off either to the north into rain gardens or to the south into the native micro-eco-system center.
Conservation is a driving factor to the design of water in this project. All species that are planted in the roof courtyards are native drought-tolerant species. This will eliminate the need to use potable water in the irriga-tion of landscaping.
A buffer zone is necessary to protect the outdoor space to the south of the SoE. This design element will serve many purposes such as a wind and sound damper and a learning center for the campus and community. Native species and micro-ecosystems will be used to avoid irrigation and educate visitors.
Clay pavers will be used in areas to frame outdoor gathering spaces. These pavers will match the aesthetic of campus and allow water to percolate through the surface of the pavement. Where pavers are not used natural prairie grasses and species will be used to min-imize the need for greenbelts.

The faculty lot to the north is replaced with agriculture and native prairie to mitigate heat gains from expansive driveways and parking s.f. The agriculture to the south of Lindner and north of the site will help sus-tain Judson as well as the community through pro-grams such as the local farmers market, or food shel-ters. Also, reusing this land will allow Judson the op-portunity to expand on it as the 5, 10 ,and 20 year master plans develop.
Using Lindner Tower as a host for photovoltaic technology will allow both buildings on site to tap into the energy harvested by them. The system is a 7500 s.f. system and will produce around 400 kWh per day.
To assist the load carried by the PV system, small wind turbines will function along River Road. They will be a visual node from both the highway and on site as well as produce additional kWh to help power both build-ings.
A green house will serve as both a visual reminder of the projectʼs LBC goals and a functioning garden to supply fresh items to Judsonʼs students. Fruits and veg-etables can be grown all year round and give students the opportunity to explore horticultural studies and eat delicious food.
Certain technologies can be used to help conserve energy within construction and the function of this SoE. For example, recycled material use, biodigesters, low flow fixtures, and low e-glass windows are all possible solutions. Other factors such as southern orientation and roof slope direction are moves made to conserve and sustain energy.

The clay content in Elgin’s soil is too high to allow water to percolate back into the aquifer. This factor influences the way water travels and collects on site and the systems used to store it. The water from the roofs will travel down scuppers and downspouts and channeled into the building to be stored and filtered or directed out to two major retention areas outside shown in the above diagram. One of the retention areas serves as an irrigation system for the agriculture and the other a micro-habitat and ecosystem. These systems represent just two of the many strategies being used to control and optimize water run off on the site.

ENVISION ELGINSENIOR YEAR

This proposal for the new Envision Elgin mixed use building was inspired by the Perkins+Will Skybridge in Chicago, Illinois. Also, design drivers were taken and adapted from the writings in “A Pattern Language,” by Christopher Alexander. These two sources were influential in the stages of programing all the way through material choice. This project strives to bridge the gap between the historical fabric of what Elgin once was with the new future our city desires to create. The tower climbs to nearly 400 feet and contains 27 floors featuring a world class restaurant, 10,000+ s.f. of shopping, and leasable office space overlooking historic downtown Elgin and the Fox River. The residences at Elgin Tower also offer splendid vistas from every room and a total of 221 units ranging from micro units to 2 bedroom penthouses.

The Love Family Foundation is a retrofit project of an existing masonic temple in Elgin, Illinois. The theo-retical program consisted of planning the space to support many of the Love Foundations existing outreach avenues as well as accommodate future growth. Specifically we were asked to provide a worship space for special events and conferences, a daycare facility for the immediate residential neighborhood, and other community center spaces like a fitness center, meeting rooms, and a health and wellness clinic. The major problem to be solved for this project was working in the extensive needs of our client and their vision into an existing space. I worked together with another classmate on this project and enjoyed the collaborative solutions we arrived at.

The re-urbanization of the northeast corner of Winchester was the first academic study of city planning I experienced. The semester project consisted of collaborative efforts that all were very proud of! This project also won the Congress of the New Urbanism Charter Award for the student sub-mission category. A small portion of this project also consisted of an individual effort to design a civic building within our regeneration of the site. I chose to pursue a market type building. The official project site begins a half-block north of the Roman decumanus and historic Saxon high street to Friarsgate Street and, at the west, from Middle brook street to an existing brook of the Itchen river system. Our urban proposal knits the high-performing residential fabric to the north of Friarsgate as well as the local favorite shops to the south. Considerations were taken such as connecting our site to the established water meadows river trails, balancing pedestrian access against the demands of the car, and looking to local identity and historic types to promote a Winchester that will be loved by its citizens. The city of Winchester has both the remnants of her Roman and Saxon origins and the unique history of being the former capital of England. The Saxons introduced the spindle armature with an immediate proximity to just the north and south side of the high street. This additional retail avenue helps increase the density of shops and our proposal looks to take advantage of this cue from Winchester’s past We also decided to extend our proposal beyond the project site bounds listed in an exten-sive 2003 development brief. This is in order to remedy some unsightly places including an inward focused shopping mall and expansive parking lots. Given the scale and potential impact, our scheme has been undertaken in a pioneer, intermediate, and mature stage. In it’s mature stage, our proposal addresses the challenge of Friarsgate Street as an anom-alous thoroughfare assembly and the chasm it cuts across the boundary of our site. The proposal restores the Wintonian lane type reducing the volume and speed of through traffic. A new residential square makes the turn at Friarsgate and a newly introduced brook street. Finally, our proposal intensifies the activity of St. George’s Street (the spindle armature) with the addition of a boutique hotel at the center of a modest square adjacent to a historic antique shop. The proposed city hall offices with it’s square, market, and bus station focus at the terminus of the extended St. George’s market street. The city hall offices share a north-south axis with the beautiful Guild Hall on the high street. The most eastern end of St. George’s Street, by way of my market as a passage, connects to the channel greenway. This creates a wonderful pedestrian destination and corri-dor that connects the city center of Winchester to the hinterlands to the north and south.
