NAVIGATE HOW TO

Considering myself a native San Antonian, I grew up understanding the city through an interesting lens. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question our continuously expanding suburban environment, and lacked a deep appreciation for our unique music, language and traditions. However, my four years as a student of Architecture ended up fostering an adoration for the city I had grown up in. I had a complete shift in my view of my city, and I now see the unique â&#x20AC;&#x153;puro-nessâ&#x20AC;? that makes it completely exceptional from any other place. This collection of work is composed of projects that examine different relationships of intervention between design and the existing. I believe that architectural design should be highly sensitive to the fabric surrounding it, and that it requires interdisciplinary exploration to fully understand. Certain projects embrace the existing geometry of their site and celebrate the aging of buildings. Other projects seek to transform the city with younger processes of thinking and radical interventions. To maintain a certain respect to a site, the following projects range in degrees of privacy, materiality and intervention with topography. Ultimately, for a design to transform and improve a space, there must be a passionate and innovative process that is unique to each project. Architecture is not simply a building science but also a study of the human condition and therefore there must be a sensitivity and delicacy to what we build. And whether we transform a small space or an entire city, we must continue to seriously consider the implications of our work and design for the better of humanity.

PORTRUSIONS

PORTRUSION Studio of Professor Mark A. Blizard Urbino, Italy Inspiration for the design began with Piazza Sant’Ignazio in Roma by Filippo Raguzzini via its projection of interior spaces into a piazza. The front chapel of Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio is projected outside its parvis in this piazza, and is literally carved in the outside buildings. This implication allows an exterior extension of the interior space. This design deals with a similar instance- Giancarlo De Carlo’s Universita di Urbino has a strong sense of order created by top down geometry that extends along the entire campus's hill. Our site for a piazza sits on a steep hill, wedged between the dorms and the lower library/ studio building overlooking the hill country towards the west. The design experesses an interest with the way orderly three dimensional spaces intersect. The architectural studios were projected into the surrounding hill and lined with the student dorms above. The natural topography was embraced by allowing spaces to nestle in or portrude out. Edges and steps weave through the hill allowing the nature of the landscape to still be expressed. Students are encouraged to navigate and pause- as they already do on the hill. No direct path is created and crossing is not quick. The design elements recall a theater as the steps and piazzas direct attention to the west; viewing sunsets with a friend strongly encouraged. 8

PALIMPSEST Studio of Professor Robert Baron Collaboration with Lucia Prado Mission San Jose Mission Jose is a unique palimpsest whose history stretches across 300 years of existence. Yet it does not exist as a relic- the Church still functions today through the small Parish run by the Catholic Church. Our design, one of the many layers seen on the site, seeks to serve the Parish with a Parish Hall, Gallery, Pilgrimage Center, and Chapel. Our design explores the relationship between a ring setting holding a jewel- the jewel being Mission San Jose, an authentic and aged gem. The new setting, our intervention, is meant to be the background piece that allows San Jose to stand out. To emphasize the multitude of layers in the Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layers, the proposal embraces contemporary design and contrasts San Jose in every way.Opposing the load bearing, elaborately decorated stone walls of the church, our design is light, unadorned and constructed with steel framing. The Church is oriented towards the summer sunrise; in contrast, our buildings orient towards the winter sunrise. And, though the Mission is historic, long lasting, and weighted with memory, our design embraces the idea of impermanence. Ultimately, the construction would be taken down and remembered through scars in the earth where the structures once were- becoming yet another layer in the missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. 16

evolved to a church attached to a convent. After its destruction by soldiers, the mission began its restoration in the 1920’s.

grid module given by the existing courtyard.

DENSITY Studio of Professor Ian Caine, Collaboration with Veronica Rodriguez San Antonio, Texas By 2040, San Antonio will double in population- a number that took 300 years to build. The city is the 7th largest in the United States and the 8th largest in land area, but 362nd in density. San Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sprawl has consequences- flooding, traffic, and disconnected communities anchoring to scattered commercial centers. San Antonio currently expands to undeveloped edges of itself. This project proposes differently- density. By directing incoming people to inner city suburbia, we utilize existing land and infrastructure while minimizing the penalties of sprawl. Micro houses would be inserted in the backyards of suburban homes, occupying unused green space in neighborhood blocks. They would be constructed with local products and people. All surfaces would use permeable pavers for water drainage. Natural flora would be reintroduced for privacy and low maintenance beautification. Our design is a micro home at 300ftÂ˛, proposed to be inserted into the suburban lots of San Antonio. Its internal core is a modular, prefabricated column consisting of all piping and wiring for the home, surrounded by cantilevered living spaces. The intervention includes the reintroduction of native species of flora for privacy and beatification. 20

PURO The Urban Future Lab, Collaboration with Dr. Antonio Petrov, Anagisel Toscano Ramos, Jose Liscano Quintana Community, South San Antonio The ultimate argument of this project is not a design solution (actually, no solution at all necessarily), rather the solution of explicitly identifying the real, “puro,” climate of South San Antonio. Development in South San Antonio has long been impeded by misconceptions on education, financial deficiencies, and a discriminatory bias towards residents. All data currently existing reinforce this belief that there is no incentive for improvements and investment. Our work and research aim to go beyond GIS and current models. We have occupied this “in between” space to recover specific data and information to make more informed planning decisions. Not only does our research emphasize the valuable assets South San Antonio has to offer, we stress that future interventions’ success rely on a deep understanding of the culture and geographic reality of this unique community. Puro is a San Antonio term used to capture the city’s essence. Applying that to the South Side of San Antonio is perfect. The term allows us to reflect on their values and authenticity- things that have physically manifested in certain ways and we aim to identify through mapping, photography, and other forms of documentation. It’s all about the cultural layers of a place- through its multitudes of understandings and meanings. 24

fig 4.08 Among the southside communities stand seven major entities. The East Kelly Railport, generating 5 Billion Dollars annually, sits in the center

of the Quintana Community. There is great disparity between the salaries of those who work at The Port and those who live seconds from the

corporation. This pattern is seen all too frequently among the rest of South San Antonio- the climate of these areas is not prospering with these

entities, despite the original anticipation of economic growth.

geographic

4 5 6 7 8 9

When the military airforce base first opened, jobs were offered that required little to no education or experience, paid a substantial amount of money, and provided benefits. With the closure of multiple bases in San Antonio, people were faced with no job and left skilless. Quintana is dominated by the Mexican Culture, due to hispanics making up the vast majority of the population’s demographics. Critical aspects of the culture highlighted by the community is a love for food, local businesses, and family.

economic segregation

Despite the multitude of global, billion dollar entities surrounding South San Antonio, we see a harsh divide in the city between North and South. Quintana is part of a southern cash economy, and in one of the most impovered areas in the United States.

ecology

The landscape and ecology of Quintana is dominated by the built environment and various brownfields. The buildings are mostly one-storied, with commercial buildings capping the ends of residential blocks. There are sporadic plots of land that are either vacant, unbuilt upon, or have become brownfields.

infrastructural system

Infrastructure in the Quintana communit is driven primarily by transportation. The road network, bus system, and the railroad that supports both Union Pacific and BNSF, supplying goods throughout the United States.

politics

The political divisions of San Antonio’s zip codes, school districts and city districs affect the Quintana community in a unique way. In all instances, Quintana is broken into pieces by the invisible borders imposed on the land. This makes it difficult for the community to come together and reach out to a political representitive- they’re always stuck between contacts.

food

Food in the Quintana community is a unique condition. The abundance of local restaurants and lack of grocery stores has created a food desert. Residents have no immediate access to healthy food, and are instead surrounded by fast food.

local startups + business ventures

The Quintana Community has a vibrant assemblage of locally owned businesses that began as a solution to the cultural and economic condition of the community. But the success of businesses like auto shops, taquerias, and hair salons has initiated a rapid replication of these types. Currently, there is too much competition.

neighborhood + cultural fabric

The residential network in Quintana is structured around the family oriented culture. The community was annexed by San Antonio in 1944 and is well established. Residents’ yards have become an extension of their homes, both through collection of things and the congregation of people.

fig 4.09

The three global institutions that make up the Quintana community are Boeing, Kelly Airforce Base, and the East Kelly Railport.

fig 4.09 The Quintana Community has a complex system of layers- each with their own unique condition. The solution to a prosperous 30

community lies not in fixing one area or layer, but in a third condition- a solution that addresses multiple disciplines and complexities.

fig 4.10 - 11 Analogies made to compare Quintana’s condition to the rest of the world. Fig 4.10 shows the disparity between the community and the Port’s

economy. Fig 4.11 shows the importance of the Port’s presence- imagine if Central Park or the Mediterranean was inactive.

PURO CONTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;D The Urban Future Lab, Collaboration with Dr. Antonio Petrov, Isaiah Murray, Susana Maria Ruiz Sors, Nicole Chavez South San Antonio This internship was a continuation of the previous semester. We finished with one very clear conclusion- we needed new methodologies of collecting real data and narratives of people. The Urban Future Lab continued this work with the focus of designing a phone application that would collect the stories and â&#x20AC;&#x153;deep dataâ&#x20AC;? of the people living in South San Antonio. The ultimate goal of this was to manifest the reality of the community to the city and back to the community itself. This is meant to be a framework for citizens to establish a voice and make informed decisions and interventions. With our app, we can collect deep profile data in large volumes. With these large sets of data new topics like culture, community sentiment, community values, and community economy can be mapped out onto a timeline. Not only will this data be beneficial for the individual, but when aggregated with others in the community the collaboration of individual deep data can illuminate new paths for communities. We concluded our research with refined definitions of data types, an emphasis on collective knowledge and its meaning, as well as AI and application findings. 34

DATA TYPES

Momentous Data

Currently, we collect surface data, otherwise known as metadata, like name, sex, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Metadata like this does not encapsulate daily decisions, thoughts, or transactions at the individual level. Conducting interviews is a way to capture an individual’s deep profile, but doing that at a large scale is slow and inefficient. The app could collect the data missing in this gap. With the app’s ability to constantly collect deep profile data, an individual’s demographics, story, behaviors, and thoughts, we can articulate topics like culture, language, and thoughts with data . The slice of cumulative data in a time continuum on individuals is momentous data.

Deep Data

Deep data is personalized data. It goes into the culture and nuances of an individual. We are trying to quantify this qualitative type of data.

Anec Data

Anecdotal Data is a user’s narrative history that is not digitized (pre-social media) and their demographics. User’s narrative history could answer questions about their upbringing, their parent’s lives, major life events, and life lessons. Active data is created by an individual’s thoughts, decisions, and actions in the present. This data captures a user’s declarative data, statements and preferences they provide about their reality but also their movement, conversations, and interactions throughout space. These collected data can be analyzed as an individual or as a community. Trends can be drawn from the individual or from the community as a whole.

Static Data

When the present has passed, Active data changes into static data. Time is the determinant.

COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE

puro cont'd

Active Data

The inward shared dynamic knowledge of a group - the authentic attitudes, mindsets and behaviors, under which it perceives and interacts with its surroundings. Culture is the outward manifestations of collective knowledge experienced by those not in the group (eg. art, music, food). This database of deep profiles is collective knowledge. Each person in the collective has assets, skills, connections, trades, and visions for where they live. Having access to the facets of a community allow for easier navigation of the space, increased awareness, and pride in one’s place. This app defines what is in existence, how residents interact with it, and how people think in it. Communities can now have a direct lead in their own placemaking. 35

TYPEFACE Graphic Design Studio of Professor Mark A. Blizard A small series of posters meant to explore fundamental elements of graphic design- typeface + the grid. Initiated by a graphic design studio by Mark Blizard, we focused on the works of designers like Bruno Manguzzi, Josef Müller Brockmann, and Max Bill. Deconstructing a Typeface, identifies pieces of a letter, and looking at the relationship between two grids’ intersections through abstract components. Promenade Architecturale, created in response to Corbusier’s writings. Celebrates the idea of play, “jeu,” through the slicing of the typeface with the grid Poetry Slam, Exploration of the manipulation of images, and how they inform the placement of elements. Again, an orderly grid is always celebrated and loved.
