Project_02 Core Knowledge
Studio: Interior Architecture Thesis
Program: Library Renovation
Site: Anniston, AL
Instructor: Kevin Moore/Matt Hall
Semester: Summer 2018
The project is a renovation to the public library in downtown Anniston, Alabama. The
first phase was to focus on the current multi-purpose room on the second floor, and
how it could be advanced regarding the programs and activities occurring in the space.
This small scale preamble would allow the students to develop a thesis of study to be
implemented in phase two.
The second phase was to use what the students learned from the multi-purpose room
and apply it to the first floor stacks area of the library. Entry sequence and adaptability
were considered while adhering to the needs of the library staff. Through ever-changing
technology, it was important to consider future adjustments to the library and the
changing needs of readers alike.
8 CORE KNOWLEDGE
Overview: Wood material such as light oak on interior
surfaces create an effectual visual impression as well as a
distinct luminous effect. Decorative panels such as this will
act as sound diffusers and be more effective in preventing
echoes in a space so keen on quietness. A wooden core
creates a warm sense of intimacy while evenly illuminating
the center which is the icon of the library. The color of
the wood allows light to wash evenly creating an ambient
atmosphere with the help of a concave vaulted ceiling
slightly dropped lower than the surrounding material yet
creating a perception of added height.

thesis.
Bottom: Multiple layouts were required because of the different functions that would take place in the multi-
purpose room. The staff requested seating and tables that could be arranged in multiple ways while obtaining easily
maintainable qualities. The library shows movies weekly where two seats were required for a single table. For lectures
the library has, the seating layout maximizes occupancy for over 100 people. Lastly, any workshop that might take
place within the multi-purpose room required two tables put together and 8 chairs.
These layouts were completed by using a picture from the physical model and overlapping furniture in SketchUp.
Left: Materiality was a focus of concern due to the lack of funds the country
has and the clientele’s resources. Materials were strictly limited to concrete
block, poured in place concrete, and available metals. This created the need for
ventilation and lighting strategies throughout because of the unstable power-
grid of the region. Water collection and sewage disposal and reuse were all
considered highly important throughout the design process.

The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center is both a gallery and production space. The
Contemporary exhibits over 100 artists yearly, including works by the artists in
residence. The Contemporary also runs over 100 educational programs each year.
It resides in a collection of warehouses and commercial buildings situated to the south
of the Georgia Institute of Technology and bounded by the rail yard and tracks to the
west. The campus makes use of existing structures and open spaces for both visitors and
resident.
The design engages the public through the creation, presentation and advancement of
contemporary art. Many of the existing facades and structure remain allowing additions
to envelope the center from both sides. New gallery spaces are created as well as an
educational center with classrooms and a multi-purpose room.
In addition to required program, rent-able spaces are necessary to aid yearly profit and
keep patrons entering the buildings. These spaces include studio, multi-purpose rooms,
and a large outdoor courtyard. All amenities surround a central cafe where people from
both sides of the site can meet together in a place of rest.

Project_05 Summer Design Studio
Studio: Pre-architecture Summer Option Program
Instructors: Margaret Fletcher, Matt Hall, Danielle Willkens
Semester: 1st Year - Summer 2015
The Summer Design Studio is one of two tracks taken by students interested in the
architecture program at Auburn University. The Summer Studio sequence is divided into
two sessions. During the first session, each student’s work is periodically ranked relative
to her/his peers. At the end of the first session, students with the highest rank-in-class
are accepted into Session Two, subject to available space. Students not accepted may
elect to retake the entire sequence of courses during the following Summer Design
Session if they meet the admission criteria, or they may elect to change majors.
The following work displays three of the major projects completed during the summer
studio with each projects’ time line spanning about a week.
A studio obtains the top of the site and leads to a place of rest
in the middle with a fireplace. The latter building holds another
studio and a small art gallery for displaying work.
The Seminar in History and Theory class was designed to teach students how post-
modernism emerged in the 1960’s and its transition throughout the late 20th century.
Critiques were given and discussed, aiding in the ability to decipher the different
architectural styles and debate the anomalies between them.
Throughout the duration of the course, students were required to complete three
carbon copies of post-modern work to study the mediums used and how they were
constructed. Every student completed a different work of art generating a diverse
showcase at the end of the semester. The very last project was to use the knowledge
obtained throughout the class and apply that to a past project we have completed
within our architectural studios.
