Design Philosophy

Design brings us together like the sound of music. If you play loud enough and long enough, someone will eventually listen.

John Lennon

“My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.”

Design NarrativeThe design concept and site plan was established

through an exploration of biblical verses and readings.

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,

which a man took and planted in his field. Though it

is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows,

it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree,

so that the birds of the air come and perch in its

branches.” (Matthew:31:31-32) Like the parable,

the design concept and surrounding landscape is

rooted in Manhattan, Kansas and will someday grow

into a community of worship and knowledge. The

pathways and design features act as the branches

of the mustard seed, extending out and creating a

welcoming area for all the people of the earth.

Oak Tree: “And Joshua wrote these words in the

book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and

set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary

of the LORD.” (Joshua 24:26).

Oak trees were placed at the edges of the

property and around the building to symbolize

the establishment of a monument of worship and

congregation.

General Notes:

- Topsoil exists on the entire site at an average depth of six inches (6”).

- The entry drive, parking area, and service access are to be asphalt paving to a depth of four inches (4”) on an eight inch (8”) AB3 gravel sub base.

- Concrete walkways and pedestrian paving are to be placed at a depth of four inches (4”) on a two inch (2”) sand leveling base course and a compacted subgrade. Modular paving, such as concrete pavers on a sand base, which may be included in you plans must be designed to manufacturers’ speci-fications and noted in the earthwork estimate.

- Topsoil is be stripped and replaced at a minimum depth of six inches (6”) within all graded, turfed, and non paved areas of the site within the limits of grading. Note that topsoil may be placed at a depth greater than six inches (6”).

- Site location is in downtown Manhattan, Kansas on Poyntz Avenue between S. 9th and 8th streets.

Spring 2010

course:

media:

Concept StatementThe Kansa Indians and their language influenced the

concept and design for the plaza. The word Neosho

in the Kansa language means, “water that has been

made muddy” or simply put “water in it.” I find this

translation very significant because the meaning

parallels the formation of the city. The Neosho

River sits in the heart of Council Grove and is a very

important historical landmark. Council Grove came

to be because this location was a crossing point for

settlers traveling west. The plaza captures the true

essence of the Neosho river and “water in it” with

water features running throughout the plaza space.

Concept StatementThe Seaton Hall Greenroof project for Kansas

State University is based on three different

locations, each having a varying degree of shade,

wind, and microclimate. This particular project

is located on the westside of Seaton Hall. Due

to the sites heavily shaded nature, shade tolerant

plants were picked in order to sustain the best

possible life and overall benefits.

The concept for the greenroof is based on the

principle of wind and how it affects the site.

Circulation of wind within the site is circular

due to the winds hitting the limestone walls and

creating a vortex. The wind patterns can be seen

in the photograph to the right. These patterns

were then translated into the design, becoming

a highly aesthetic feature while also maintaining

functionality through positive drainage and water

storage via the adjacent cistern.

northbankKansas City, Missouri

Spring 2010

course:

media:

Statement of IntentThe core dilemma of the north bank in Kansas

City, Missouri is the gap in the urban fabric

between downtown and the highly populated

suburbs to the north. The principal strategy is to

create a hub between the proposed twenty-four

hour city and the northern suburbs, pulling the

proposed riverfront development along Berkley

Riverfront Park across the river.

Supporting this is a vision of a highly residential

mixed use development mirroring the adjacent

southern riverfront. Accommodating for pedes-

trian and bicycle traffic will create better con-

nections to both sides of the river and promote

a walkable and functional community. Also by

utilizing the existing infrastructure of train tracks it

could be possible to extend proposed TOD across

the river to provide access for residents north of

the river. The new development must be more

diverse in use and programmed in a manner that

utilizes all of the differing aspects of being close,

yet separated from the city. The vision is an idea

of a “one riverfront” identity, as opposed to two

opposite opposing banks.

Project BackgroundThe Stout Pedestrian Plaza stems from a group

analysis and master plan for the revitalization of

the Arapahoe Square District in Denver, Colorado.

This district has long been under maintained

and the city looks to redevelop the area into a

vibrant, transit oriented community. Our teams

goals were to develop a district of mixed use

business and residential development while also

incorporating TOD and a network of open space

to connect different parts of the city.

The Platte River is formed by the confluence of the North and South Platte Rivers. The river is termed a “braided stream,” describing a body of water that divides into several channels separated by beds of sediment, or islands. First discovered by a European, Etienne de Veniard, sieur de Bourgmonte in 1714, the river was coined the Nebraskier, an Oto word meaning “flat water.” In the lower regions of the Platte, the river is boarded by bluffs. The design of the plaza itself looks to embody the true essence of the Platte River and signify the movement and fluidity that it possesses. The Stout Pedestrian Plaza aims to be a gateway from the South for the Arapahoe Square District and the proposed pedestrian corridor of 21st street.

Project BackgroundThe site is located in Manhattan, Kansas

approximately one mile south of the Kansas

River west of U.S. Highway 177. The site can

be described as having east-facing slopes with

rise:run ratio of 15% and greater, covering 63.6%

of the site area. This conservation development

seeks to provide a residential enclave that

captures the true essence of the local Flint

Hills while also creating a visual connection to

Manhattan and the surrounding areas.

The design concept for Wildwood Estates was

developed through an exploration of site features,

conditions, and suitability. A GIS suitability

map including slope, aspect, and existing

vegetation was created to locate areas most

suitable for development of the client’s desired

program elements. These program elements

were combined with a welcoming character that

considered existing conditions and preserved

40-60% of natural vegetation and open-space.
