SITE Seeing

Rene Submissions — Tue, 30 May 2023 08:00:00 +0000

We are pleased to announce the opening of SITE Seeing at the Charlotte Street Foundation Gallery Friday May 12 - June 24, Kansas City, MO.

SITE Seeing is a multidisciplinary exhibition connecting artists from Kansas City, Chicago, Portland, New York, and Los Angeles who are working at the intersections of architecture, site-specificity, abstraction, and perception. The ten artists and architects bridge geographies, philosophies, and material conditions to expand the meanings of space and address how identity and content is formed through this research. The exhibition will remain on view through June 24, 2023.

SITE Seeing is organized by Caleb Taylor

Kansas City International Airport New Terminal / Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

Paula Pintos — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 17:00:00 +0000

The new terminal at Kansas City International Airport (KCI)—designed, planned, and engineered by SOM with Clark | Weitz | Clarkson (CWC) and a team of consultants largely led by women—is a state-of-the-art travel hub that transforms the existing airport. This 1.1-million-square-foot building replaces the original, overcrowded terminals, built in 1972, with a single 39-gate complex designed to expand to 50 gates in the future. The project significantly increases passenger capacity, and reimagines the travel experience, embodying the region's rich culture and elevating the airport into a place that is inclusive and accessible to all.

Shelton Marshall Residence / El Dorado

Cristobal Rojas — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 11:00:00 +0000

The Shelton Marshall Residence is an urban home for a family of four built in the Westside neighborhood of downtown Kansas City. With a main structure consisting of just under 2,000 square feet, the house makes a compelling argument for quality over quantity within the context of a downtown neighborhood that is striving for increased urban vibrancy.

MadHouse / LIONarchitecture

Daniel Sánchez — Sat, 13 Feb 2016 09:00:00 +0000

Within the vibrant West-side Neighborhood near downtown Kansas City, Missouri sits a steep, narrow, and over-grown site. The topography of the site and surrounding city drives the design of this house for a family of four. We call this project the Madhouse. Beyond merely the name of its street address, passers-by seem to comment on the madness of putting a house on the side of an urban cliff. The house oscillates between submersion and immersion - the site drops nearly forty feet from end to end - allowing the MadHouse to extend out of the ground nearly twenty feet.

St Teresa’s Academy Windmoor Center / Multistudio

Igor Fracalossi — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 01:00:00 +0000

This Catholic independent college preparatory school for young women wanted to add a new chapel and academic space on the main campus quadrangle. After surveying students and faculty, a vision for the chapel emerged as a soft, feminine, contemplative space flooded with light and connected to nature. There was a strong desire to connect to the narrative of St. Teresa, the patron saint of lace makers.

Public Architecture’s 1% for Habitat Initiative matched el dorado inc with Heartland Habitat for Humanity to design and build a home that surpasses the organization’s already strict design and sustainability standards. This prototype features three bedrooms and two baths in a flexible layout that can be modified to accommodate both front-loaded and rear-loaded sites. A slab-on-grade foundation allows for full ADA accessibility.

Sprint Accelerator / RMTA

Daniel Sánchez — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The design team at RMTA was challenged with creating a unique, collaborative space for a newly forged entity within Fortune 500 company Sprint Corporation, breaking the rules of traditional corporate culture and branding. The new organization, Sprint Accelerator, was to become a beacon for technology and entrepreneurship in the Midwest region, bringing 10 start-up companies each year from around the world into Kansas City for three months of intensive work, where they would incubate their ideas, bringing mobile software and application innovation to the healthcare industry. Engineering talent, executive mentors and other resources would be co-located within the space, to ensure the start-ups have an “unfair” advantage against the rest of the industry. At the conclusion of the three-month program, the start-up companies would have the opportunity to pitch their concepts to a number of established companies for the chance to receive both financial and professional backing. Understanding these needs, the design team concluded that the space needed to echo what this new entity represented – creativity, innovation, diversity and first to market.

Boulevard Brewing Company Cellar 1 Expansion / El Dorado Inc

Jonathan Alarcón — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:00:00 +0000

Boulevard Brewing Company desired a fast-track process for design and construction for an expansion project that would add (8) 40’-0” tall tanks to a 15’-0” tall existing structure. The tanks, planned for the production of hops beer, needed to be accessed 24 hours a day to regulate the addition of ingredients. BBC selected a project team assembled by an architect-led design-build delivery process to execute a complex assembly of components within very tight quarters. From the onset of the design process, the architect-builder had to plan the project to allow all adjacent space to remain open throughout construction.

Missouri Korean War Veterans Memorial / Tilt-Up Concrete Association

Alison Furuto — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

In September of 2011, the Missouri Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated at a ceremony in Washington Square Park in Kansas City, Missouri. The project, which started as an effort to demonstrate the benefits of Tilt-Up concrete construction as part of the Tilt-Up Concrete Association’s (TCA’s) annual convention, quickly turned in to something so much more. Not only is the project a testament to the versatility, applicability and beauty of Tilt-Up construction, it is a demonstration of the generosity, pride and good will of TCA members. Most importantly, it continues the legacy of Korean War Veterans and recognizes those who paid the supreme sacrifice and gave their lives in defense of South Korea. More images and project description after the break.
