The goals of the Johnson County Community College Center for Sus-tainability, combined with the need for additional classrooms at the ever-expanding college leads to a unique opportunity to create an inspired learning space which also serves as an information center for the campus and the community at large.

In designing classroom spaces for Johnson County Community College, we considered it our responsibility to provide a learning environment that will inspire students, faculty, and the general public not merely in the near future, but for many genera-tions. The Galileo Pavilion as we en-vision it will become a landmark for JCCC’s sustainable initiatives, acting as a node from which students and the public can interact and learn of the institution’s environmental integ-rity that extends to every corner of the campus.

Studio 804 is committed to the con-tinued research and development of affordable and inventive building so-lutions. This is done by examining, on all levels, the standards of human comfort and the nature of urban spaces. With issues of sustainability, affordability and efficiency dominat-ing our collective interests, Studio 804 educates students through the experience of all aspects embodied by design/build, a delivery model that is gaining widespread interest in the architectural profession.

The proposed project is a building addition to Marvin Hall, the University of Kansas Architecture building. The building is designed to house additional needed spaces: studios, offices, and a wood shop. Some of these spaces are currently located in satellite locations on the campus.

This proposal seeks to unite support spaces with design studios in a new addition located directly southeast of Marvin Hall. The ‘mud hut’ currently located south of Marvin hall will also be demolished to allow a bio-diverse, native Kansas lanscape to compliment the new addition.

Green building strategies were care-fully implemented as part of this project’s design. These design as-pects not only provide a more energy efficient building but also a comfort-able environment for its users. A double-skin envelope is located on facades which will receive the greatest amount of direct sunlight. This al-lows the building to maintain a level of transparency while providing greater thermal insulation than conventional

glazed-wall systems. Operable windows placed across from each other provide opportunities for cross-ventilation, thereby reducing the overall mechanical requirments for air conditioning. A rain-water retention system is also incorporated with a green roof system - which col-lects and channels rain water into a concealed cistern.

This design for Kansas City’s downtown Quality Hill Forum serves as a platform for community social interaction and education. The focus of the design re-lies on two main principles: interaction with the urban context and experiential quality of architectural space.

The garden spaces, which are aligned with the main access streets of Jef-ferson and 11th, provide a threshold designed to invite people into the building as well as serve as public, social-gathering spaces. Further social interaction is fostered upon entering the building through the use of the facility’s lecture hall and gallery spaces. As the building’s patrons ascend to the upper floors, opportunities for commerce and education can be experienced within the Quality Hill Bookstore and Rare Books Library.

These spaces not only perform functionally, but also promote a significant experiential quality through the use of natural and artificial lighting systems. These systems have been integrated into the structural fabric of the waffle slab construction and serve to properly display as well as preserve the works contained within the rare books library.

This design emphasizes the interac-tive quality of light that permeates to nearly every square foot of interior space. Each individual bedroom receives sunlight from three sides at various times throughout the day. The main living space is also afforded healthy amounts of natural sunlight by means of clerestory window systems and a centrally-placed skylight.

Lighthouse Assisted Living Home in-corporates crossventilation achieved by the operable clerestory windows and glass towers rising out of each bedroom. This limits the need for more extensive HVAC systems and saves on energy costs.

The juxtaposition of earth and sky and the process that takes place between is an expression that is exemplified by this winery design. The building itself cascades down a modest hillside and away from the adjacent grape fields providing ideal conditions for a gravity-fed wine making process. Furthermore, the building’s experien-tial quality, which includes a full dem-onstration of its inner-workings, allows the building to serve as a destination point for its patrons.
