Chicago has seen a number of urban churches leave their familiar urban context for new surroundings in Chicago’s suburban landscape. The parameters for this project incorporated aspects of site selection with structural considerations for 50% growth.

The church designed for St. Charles, IL initially is meant to be a place of worship for 400 people withexpected growth to reach 600 people. The church is designed with a traditional congregation in mind. Understanding the liturgical procession the church draws precedence from the Gothic and Basilica style in so there is a strong axial line creating a symmetrical plan. The additional wings complete the geometry.

Plan and Expansion:

The main worship space is housed in a regular shaped room but the congregation is set up in the round. The pulpit is located near the center of the space with seating around the pulpit in all directions. Each corner serves a specific role within the liturgical practice. The baptistry rests underneath the steeple, which is visible from inside the space creating a visible connection with the view from the entrance.

Worship Space: Emphasis on Verticality:The exposed structure seen in the exploded axon below highlight the verticality of the space. The clerestory windows used to wrap the sanctuary visually lighten the roof while also allowing maximum daylight into the sanctuary contributing to the natural feel of the space.

The hanging pendant lights are original to the design. Drawing from the stain glass found within the worship space, the light shade seeks to mimic it. The pattern is represented below. Within the light shade the pattern is applied to the inside portion of the shade. When the light is off the facade is blank, but when the light is turned on the pattern reveals itself. The interor rendering further displays how the light

Whitney Elementary02 Architectural Design Studio Spring 2014

The Living Building Challenge has seven petals to which all new construction must abide by. The petals include Net-Zero Energy, water, site preservation, materials stainability, equity, health, and beauty. Working within the Living Building Challenge guidelines the task was to design a school addition for a historic Chicago Public School, Eli Whitney Elementary. Land locked on the Southern Western edge of Chicago the site in the Little Village Eli Whitney is the product of hard work and a dedicated community.

Green Space within Districts

The design for the addition was based around maximizing the passive systems. The site available to work with was a North-South bar. Breaking the addition into three segments , which is existing in the old school, this presented more opportunities for natural daylight. This was beneficial because it allowed natural daylight to reach into the previously unoccupied spaces and increased the amount of play spaces for the children. The buildings are rotated 7.5 degrees to the East maximizing the early morning sun and blocking the Western sun.

Orientation:

With nearly no green space within blocks of the school the design brings back as much public natural landscape as possible. Each builidng block is seperated by a 50ft shaded courtyard for additional play space for students during recess or after school.

Constructed of perforated brushedstainless steel with 1” diameter circles. The screen system connects directly to the roof canopy creating one continuous system. The screen provides the privacy needed for the class space, but still allows for necessary northern light to enter into the space removing the necessary need for artificial light.

The trombe wall kit is a result of the fully glazed southern facade. In the winter by absorbing the low winter sun to laterradiate heat throughout the day reduces energy costs. The trombe wall kits isconstructed from recycled material, mainly CMUs from the previous annex.

In both East and West classrooms on the second and third level the outdoor space allows for direct access to the outside andprotects from the elements for more use.The idea is to have teachers and students have more access to nature, be able to test more small scale ideas within class, and also allowing for harvesting from the vegetation screens.

The walkways constructed of frostedchannel glass with a wood roof deck, allow for accessibility to all three green roofs for everyone.

Mounted at a 48 degree angle facing the south to maximize year round harvesting, the 243 total PV panels provide 60.75 kW to the new addition and Eli Whitney.

The glazed canopy protects from rain and snow, but still allows direct light to penetrate the space for better growing conditions for urban agriculture. The slope of the canopy, as well as the glazing, allow for rain harvesting into the cisterns that support the canopy structure. The rain collected at the roof feed the vegetation screens as well as the new addition.

With 16,800 sq. ft. of total green space between all three roofs the opportunities are limitless. Covered with glazing for more use initial ideas include urbanagriculture as well as outdoor classrooms for additional learning space.

Taking advantage of direct southern sun light the full glazing allows for passive solar technologies like the installed trombe wall.

Protecting from harsh East and West light, the vegetation screen allows for more glazing on these facades. The screen themselves can be provide alternativeareas for harvesting. The height also conceals the green roof above for more privacy.

Stacking ClassroomsThis also applies to the restrooms which are stacked and staggered to make use of composting toilets eliminating disposal of black water from the new addition.

Photovoltaics175 Photovoltaic Panels per building unit producing 35kW. Total amount of solar energy produced: 105 kW. [each panel produces 200 watts]

Trombe WallsMade of recycled CMU blocks from the existing building the trombe wall near the south facade absorbs the winter sun and radiates at night reducing the heating bill during the winter.

Geothermal6 wells for each courtyard for a total of 18 wells at 200 feet deep. Total amount of cooling produced: 18 tons of cooling.

Rain CollectionOn top of each green roof there are 6 rain barrels that are part of the structure. The rain water is gravity feed into the building providing all the plumbing necessary for the restrooms.

River Keeper03 Architectural Design Studio Fall 2013

The RiverKeeper is a commitment made by St. Charles to educate and promote the Fox River to the local community. The design is intended to bring the people to the river. The structure is dictated by the city grid running perpendicular to the river. The spaces between the strong arms respond to the river, breaking from the grid, and flow between the arms. By sitting in the river the main community spaces such as educational galleries and oratory have direct visual access to the river. The building also preserves the

original bike path that runs between the building.

Storage - Preformance04 100 Fold Summer Studio 2014

Designed to meet additional storage space for the YWAM Polson Base, the two shelters work to frame the surrounding landscape to be incorporated in their future performances. Their performances are their main form of outreach and the future plans allow for construction of a stage between the two storage spaces. The detail in the door mimics the surrounding landscape. Through these storage units we were able to provide for a necessary need while at the same time starting to create a new architectural language.

Part of the design process included understanding our clients desires and future needs. Through a quick master planning exercise we were able to focus on designing community space and break-out areas for future outreach teams. While we weren’t able to accomplish everything, we built the storage units that make up the back portion of the large pavilion.

17 Units Stacking + Shipping

Project Information:The World Vision Shelter Competition is an annual event that brings architects and engineers together to further explore ideas of shelter in emergency situations. Designed to be a transitional shelter for Indonesia we focused on rehibilition through privacy and seperation of spaces.Through the use of local materials and building techniques we wanted shelter that would inspire.

The following considerations had to be addressed: Fit into a shipping container, be deployable in less than 1 hour, be assembled with only 4 people, weigh less than 350 lbs, no use of power tools, survive 65+ winds and a moderate earthquake.
