Final Review

As the academic year comes to a close, so too does our current design project. This past Monday, we welcomed a panel of critics to partake in our final design review. Among the critics were Gunner Hand and Alyssa Marcy from the UGWC Planning Department; Greg Sheldon, Sarah Murphy, and Michael Luczak from BNIM; and our former Director, Vladimir Krstic. Our review took a deep dive into the different pieces of our Bethany Park Masterplan, which includes a range of housing typologies from detached, single-family houses to a mid-rise, mixed-use building, as well as programmatic Nodes between the residential pieces. As a studio, we are using the feedback we received in our review to prepare our Bethany Park Masterplan for presentation in the Heintzelman Design Competition in Manhattan, Kansas, which celebrates the design work produced by 5th-Year Architecture students at Kansas State University.

On Thursday, May 9, we will be welcoming the community to come and see our work at our Open House event. We will have our masterplan and each of our housing typologies on display as a prototype for further housing developments throughout Kansas City, Kansas.
