Project: School Design

This art education facility provides a supportive, engaging space for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s, focusing on dignity, joy, and well-being. Through thoughtful design, I sought to create environments that reduce stress, enhance navigation, and encourage meaningful engagement. The art programs promote self -expression, stimulate memory, and improve emotional health. With an emphasis on natural light, green spaces, and sensory areas, I took on a holistic design approach that supports both cognitive and emotional well-being, helping individuals reconnect with their creativity and live with greater dignity.

The Turn School is a 48,000-sq-ft mass structure that will be home to Missouri’s next aerospace engineering school, located in downtown Columbia, Missouri. Its unique figure integrates functionality and innovation to foster a dynamic learning environment. The design features a mass turn that creates an evolution of both form and experience. The cantilever effect produces ascending terraces offering individual outdoor experiences. Gradually opening its views to the sight, a dynamic window system encourages travel through the structure to connect collaborative spaces and classrooms to the natural surroundings.

The postsecondary visual arts school is 2 stories and 36,412 sqft. It is located in central Columbia, Missouri, standing between a nature trail and urban college environment. The form is derived from the height needs of the spaces within- the tall gallery, studios, & lecture halls are arranged in L-shapes to create the striking angles of the roof. The entrance opens to a 2-story gallery space that will display student work and serve as a circulation hub. Beyond the gallery is a central atrium with paths between studio classrooms in efficient angles, inspired by the exterior appearance, that will bring natural light into both floors of the building. The stretches of rough concrete and stone are a blank canvas for student expression.

The Hawthorn Architectural University takes its form from the petals of the hawthorn flower. The three structures seamlessly integrate into the surrounding environmental context and landscape. Each structure includes a dynamic facade and roof system which has been optimized for water collection.
