The folly, an abstraction of a wall system built on the PHIDA values, was the basis for design throughout
(permeability, harmony, imagination, diversity, and adaptability) had to be evident within our architectural folly as well as our next two projects there after. To bring these principles to life, a wooden post and beam structure was created to allow metal bands to weave within acting as the cross bracing. With this freedom, these values were allowed to emerge in the in between.

cico park natatorium
In this project, the PHIDA values along with the architectural folly had to be reincorporated into the concept of the natatorium. In continuation with the wall, the metal bands were utilized in the same fashion with a minor adjustment: the bands were orientated vertically in between the post system. This allowed for movement and shading along the facade. Since the bands were not able to mediate the in-between anymore, a secondary system of glu-laminated timber trusses were utilized to span between the linear walls. To allow more light through the roof system, a perforated metal screen took form to allow more light into the space.

system created for the natatorium into a system for a winery. Since the site was very curvilinear and topographic, the previous linear systems would not be able to be utilized. To overcome this obstacle, the system became an array of the glu-laminated timber trusses along a circular format. The bands of metal were returned to their horizontal orientation but were still kept as shading louvres along the facade. The bands are broken in the center section to allow for a focused view onto the Konza Prairie reserve and the beautiful sunsets across the Flint Hills.

rocker prototype During the spring semester of 2012, I had the chance
to design and build a chair utilizing our material of choice. One of my major interests during that period was veneer and idea of bending it past it physical properties. Another idea I wanted to play with was the notion of a“traditional” rocking chair as well. I wanted to create a contemporary chair with an ode to the “rocker” that has transcended time. To do this, I created a parti of three lines that would allow for maximum rockability while creating an elegant shape. Then I utilized a vacuum pump system in combination with a frame of metal pipes to bend the layers of glued veneer.

After my initial start into furniture design, I wanted to further my newfound interest with chairs. I had another opportunity to study abroad in Denmark, where furniture design is a staple in the culture. During this experience, I got to work with veneer and learn bending new techniques. After the month long course, I had developed a simpler form that derived from my rocking chair. The style I approached was a
