Hospitality StudioMiami-South Beach, FloridaJason Alread, Cigdem AkkurtSpring 2013, 2-weeks

In the middle of a semester long group project, we were given two weeks to design a basic room in our luxurious, high-end hotel. We decided to split the room up between “served” and “server” spaces, pushing amenities against one wall and opening up the rest of the room for relaxation. The progression of forms through the room encourages interaction between the user and the objects while allowing for an open view to the ocean.

Comprehensive StudioBoston, MassachusettsJason AlreadFall 2012, 15 weeks

In this group studio, we focused the design of the building around three key principles-addressing and being responsive to the site, pulling apart the program through public and private functions, and using materials to delineate the building. Although our approach was logical we ultimately wanted to create a beautiful building where music enthusiasts could engage with new, upcoming artists.

Net-Zero StudioDes Moines, IowaUlrike Passe, Clair Cardinal-PettFall 2011, 16 weeks

In this net-zero studio, we had to develop a three part program: live, work, and learn. We wanted the campus to be a branching-off point for new and current home-owners to take back the car-centric neighborhood and give them the tools they need to transform their community. For the cornerstone building, we developed a new, double-skin façade and ventilation system to help combat the summer’s heat and winter’s chill.

Design in DetailClinton, IowaTom LeslieSummer 2011, 8 weeks

This studio focused our craft around historical context and in-terventions. I selected the Van Al-len building, a historic, storefront designed by Louis Sullivan. The first half of the studio had us ex-amining the historic building, and documenting the existing condi-tions. After the documentation, I proposed a seven story addition to the top, creating fenestration based on the existing windows and vertical columns. The project then morphed into a full-scale curtain wall detail drawings and models.

CyclodromeAmes, IowaJason AlreadSummer 2011, 8 weeks

In this design-build, our class designed the smallest velodrome in the United States measuring only 24’x32’. We calculated the curves and maximum angles to allow for the easiest ride, then prototyped with a small scale model. After approximate dimensions were developed we launched a full scale build. Although Professor Alread deemed the class a failure, coming in under budget and on time, we held a race with over 30 competitors. The Cyclodrome now resides in Texas.

Design&Media 1Ames, IowaMarwan GhandourFall 2010, 16 weeks

This studio took us from mapping existing railroad bridges, to creating fictional stories, to videography that helped us land on our first architectural intervention. Through my investigation, I found multiple users interacting, or not, with each other in the local park. My approach led me to a passageway by the creek that allowed for public and private interactions.

Ceramics

My work in ceramics is constantly evolving. I am constantly inspired by the beauty coming from nature and the act of throwing itself. Much like a delicate flower or nest, the interior forms are soft and luscious while the exterior acts as a shield. I portray this by using fluid throwing lines accentuated by soft colors on the interior and hard, rough textures on the outside. Each vessel is pushed and pulled creating unique forms that make the users look twice, forcing them to explore the form.

Roller QuencherCoe College Physics DepartmentKarns Manufacturing2008-2009

This design collaboration came out of necessity from the Coe College Physics Department and Corning Incorporated. The roller quencher was designed to expand the range of glass production by cooling molten melts into glass at a rate of 1.08x108◦C/s. This redesign of a previous machine increased the speed and cooling rate, precision, and accuracy of researcch performed at Coe College and Corning Incorporated.
