AIA Birmingham Birmingham, AL 4,800ft2 Fall 2011 | Studio Krumdieck 3yr
The American Institute of Architects Birmingham is currently located at 107 South Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. However, the company has purchased a vacant lot located five blocks north at 256 North Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. The new location provides amenities that the old location could not provide such as better pedestrian visibility, a greater connection to Birmingham, and more appropriate interior spaces. The new building is long and narrow, reaching 175 feet in length and only 25 feet in width. The two story building houses the AIA Birmingham office and gallery on the first floor and two separate office spaces on the second floor. The multifaceted facade offers passersby a view of the city while offering its users the same view from within. The compelling floor plan is designed to provide maximum public space for various gatherings.

Charter Middle School Birmingham, AL 92,568ft2 Fall 2011 | Studio Krumdieck 3yr
Charter Middle School
16th Street Baptist Church
Kelly Ingram Park
Located at the intersection of 6th Avenue North and 16th Street North is the heart of Birmingham's Civil Rights District. The intersection is home to 16th Street Baptist Church, Kelly Ingram Park and Alabama's first Charter Middle School. The middle school's design respects the history of the sight while reacting to the discussion of the future. The 16th Street Baptist Church is a large, predominantly African American church. In September 1963, it was the target of the racially motivated bombing that killed four girls during the American Civil Rights Movement. Kelly Ingram Park, formally West Park, is a four acre park dedicated to remembering the Civil Rights Movement. During the 1960's the park was used for large-scale demonstrations. Like the American Civil Rights Movement, charter schools are surrounded with much controversy. Charter schools receive public money, (and like other schools, may also receive private donations) but are not subject to some of the rules, regulations, and statutes that apply to other public schools. However, charter schools are accountable for producing certain results, which are set forth in each school's charter. Charter schools tend to exist in urban locations and tend to be more racially diverse. The design of Alabama's first Charter Middle School pays attention to the controversy surrounding the sight and the idea of the school itself. The building is set back on the 6th Avenue and 16th street side to show respect for both the 16th Street Baptist Church and Kelly Ingram Park. To show reverence to the four lives lost in the bombing there is a reflection pool that mirrors the church. The main entrance to the building is located on the north side of the sight and provides a view to the Martin Luther King JR statue located in Kelly Ingram Park. The facade of the school changes to be appropriate to the particular time of day or event being held.

The building has four main panels on the exterior. The four panels are rotated 180 degrees to make eight different patterns on the buildings exterior. It has been proven through scientific studies that natural light helps in the education process. Therefore, the panels are designed to refract light as it projects inside.

Adaptive Reuse Famagusta, Cyprus 29,799ft2 Spring 2012 | Studio Orgen 3yr
Cyprus is an island located South of Turkey. The island has been the center of unnecessary controversy between Greece and Turkey. Currently, Turkey controls the northern portion of the island and Greece resides in the South. On the North-Eastern coast of the island is a town called Famagusta. In the early 1950's Famagusta opened its first railway station for transportation. The train was home to three docking stations that were located in the town of Ammochostos. The station was closed in 1974, due to the invasion of Turkey, and never reopened. In 2011 the citizens of Famagusta put pressure on the government to reuse and reopen the historic train station. The government's objective was to preserve a majority of the historic features while offering a new attraction to the town of Ammochostos. The new design turns the building into a dinner theater that offers a similar experience to that of the train ride. The dinner theater would provide jobs and entertainment for the Ammochostos community. The de-sign maintains the building's original beauty by keeping the three original docking stations visible from the exterior. However, the walls have been extended to capture rainwater for reuse. The extension of the four walls also creates exterior courtyards for visitors using the facilities. The building was terraced to provide an auditorium feel and give views to guest. The original roof design was retained to allow natural light into the building and reduce energy costs.

Childrens Hospital
The Childrens Hospital is located on the corner of Cross Street and Fulton Street in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts. The program of the hospital larger than the majority of other buildings located in the North End. Therefore, the top five floors of the hospital is broken and jostled into four smaller masses. The angles create visual and social connections throughout the program and the urban fabric of Boston's North End. The social connections are discovered through a series of public corridors and private gathering spaces. The visual connection is evident in the articulation of the facade of the building and in the interior circulation spaces. The interior spaces are created to enrich the experience of each visitor. The public circulation space provides space for personal interaction. On the other hand, the private spaces are hidden and allow space for families to fellowship. The exterior engages the north end by aligning angles to maintain the broken edge of Cross Street. The private family spaces reach out to the Rose Kennedy Greenway that runs parallel to Cross Street. Each patient room has its own bay window that provides a connection similar to the exterior facade and the private family spaces. Several unique interior and exterior space occur due to the angles. The spaces provide defined edges and create personal and private spaces for the patients, visitors, and pedestrians.

Adjustable Facade Fall 2011 | Prof. Sproull, Salvas
The adjustable facade was a collective design between Beau Brady, Drew Craven, Timothy Helms, and Iain Shriver. The objective of the adjustable facade is to allow proper amounts of sunlight to penetrate the interior of the building. The facade is designed to move throughout the day according to the angle of the sun. The facade moves on a motor system that tracks the sun. The facade also illuminates after dusk with the help of spotlights that are placed between the glass curtain walls of the building. An operable steel panel is created by placing glazing between two offset corrugated steel panels. The panels can be prefabricated and installed on site, saving the customer time and money on installation.

The objective of the Thermal Pollution Study is to un-derstand the effects of concrete on rain water. The site is designed to imitate highways, parking lots, and other concrete surfaces. There are two cells filled with concrete, two with pervious concrete, two with photocatalytic concrete, two with pervious photocatalytic concrete, two with asphalt, and two with pervious asphalt. There are 12 cells in total. The cells are at an angle to allow the rain water to be collected and tested. The temperature is recoded by thermometers that send data electronically to a computer. The computer then records the data and plots the information on a graph. Data will be collected for one full year and then be compiled for the conclusion statement.
Storage Bench Fall 2012
The concept behind the Storage Bench is shoe storage convenience. An individual can sit, take off their shoes and store them in the furniture they sit on. Saving the individual more time and hassle. Leaving an open space in the center of the bench creates a place to store things that is more appealing to the eye. This makes the bench an accent piece.
