HIGH COTTON High cotton is a collaborative project being spearheaded by Lubbock’s Link Ministries. The project aims to create a multi stage environment for those who have nowhere else to turn. The design project was executed in teams. Represented here is the north entrance to the services complex. The adjacent chapel complex was designed by classmate Chandler Cooke.

HIV/AIDS and homelessness are intricately related. The costs of health care and medications for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are often too high for people to keep up with. In addition, PLWHA are in danger of losing their jobs due to discrimination or as a result of frequent health-related absences. As a result, up to 50% of PLWHA in the United States are at risk of becoming homeless (National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2006).

Faith in a higher power provides a constant source of strength to countless people living on the streets. For some, it reawakens an earlier commitment; for others, such as Charles Hauser, it is a newfound strength. It inspires others to establish organizations and run shelters that comfort the homeless as they face daily, unpredictable hardships. (Kelly Knaub | April 16th, 2010)

FT. WORTH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Focusing on a failing community art center, this project seeks to ct through several decades of additions and unify the buildings experience and program. By removing floor plate sections and barriers, light is allowed to pass freely through the building. Interior spaces take advantage of this by borrowing light from exterior fenestrations.

The design process began by evaluating the site and recognizing how much area was available for new construction. The focus then turned to the program, and how adjacent spaces might relate to each other. With the insertion of 5 performing spaces, spacial hierarchies were very important. Finally, site analysis was taken further by analyzing the relationships to the context within the Ft. Worth art district.

CHATMAN HILL: URBAN RE-DESIGN Chatman Hill stands as a formerly thriving, but now sparsely populated neighborhood in Lubbock, Tx. It is made up of economically disadvantaged residents and offers few resources to the community. It became evident that the best strategy to address these issues was to turn the consumer oriented community into one that is focused on production. Production of ENERGY, FOOD, and ECONOMY. Project group: Chandler Cooke, Eddie Garcia, Annaellise Elias
ENERGY
PRODUCTION
Investigation into roof top availability for energy production revealed an available 400,000+ sq. ft.
The solution was to develop a plan that would foster production of energy, food, and economy. As the research piled up, it became clear that the problem in this neighborhood had to do with production. All of the money was flowing out to services outside of the community. The solution needed to flip this condition.
URBAN AGRICULTURE The lack of density within the neighborhood provides major opportunities for agriculture.

PEDESTRIAN NODES

Despite the low density the Chatman Hill neighborhood has pedestrian traffic.
ECONOMIC NODES

THE FOLD: 2 DAY CHARETTE A project that was completed in 48 hours during a charette with guest critic Joon Kang. The objective : to use folding and site mapping as a generator of form. The form was intended to hold the program of a downtown arts and cinema center in Lubbock, Tx. Several iterations of paper models and digital folding techniques led to the presented design approach.
Site Mapping The site map began the entire process. Datum lines and boundaries were generate through the neighboring facades and other site elements such as lights and greenery. Two view angles from opposite ends of the site became dominant mapping features.
30
Initial Strategy The initial strategy for generating folds in the site was to determine a minimum folding angle, adding x-degrees based on the white, black, or gray value in the image behind the fold. This method produced results far too complex for determining form.
Mapping Solution Folding planes are indicated as fields of vision that remain singular. The intersection of planes will remains hierarchical at the center of the form. Incline of plane is derived from the angle formed at the vertex of vision fields.

LIBRARY: POST APOCALYPSE In a post-apocalyptic world, how will civilization be re-established? This library serves as a node on a larger grid of libraries that hold the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge, waiting for the wandering autodidact to come in and be enlightened. The design incorporates elements that indicate weight and safety, with a stark formal contrast to the surrounding canyon.
THE GRID Prior to the apocalypse, a series of libraries were place on a grid defined by a half-days walk. This image represents the grid as placed near the Caprock Canyons State Park.
38
FORMAL PROCESS
EXPERIENTIAL PROCESS
The determination was made for the library to be an attractor; something that wanted to disseminate knowledge. A cubic form is chosen as the formal driver to provide a contrast to the flowing walls and rim of the canyon.
The experience needed to be one of determination and intention. The user had to work hard to arrive at the library, and must want what the knowledge it holds.
