Mo-PODS MODULAR PORTABLE DWELLING SYSTEMS PROFESSOR: DR. PETER LANG TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY THIRD YEAR TEAM OF TWO
This design problem stated a need for a unique community housing project. Our solution is a modular unit called MoPods. Modular Portable Dwelling Systems pose an answer to dense residential design. Streamline and efficient construction lends to the transportation of each unit by railroad or truck. The kit of parts includes a foundation disk, pod unit, and water cistern. The three interlock to form an everchanging tower unit. Each octagonal foundation disk is equpped with all necessary utilities. MoPODS can be joined together to accomodate large living spaces, as well as make use of green spaces between each unit. In the center of each tower is a water tank that is heated by petal-like solar cells that move with the sun, just as flowers do. This organic structure illustrates the idea that nature might just be the most efifcient and beautiful design.
MoPODS│ 04 TRANSPORTABLITY MoPODS are a transportable, homogenous design solution. Our world’s population is beginning to discover they can live in a community that they actually want to be a part of. These desires range from dense cities to the expansive wilderness. MoPODS aim to be a solution across all living desires. Each foundation disk can hold up to 4 MoPOD units for 4 different individuals or a sole inhabitant.

The petals follow the sun’s movement over the course of the day to maintain as much solar exposure as possible. This, in turn, creates a highly efficient capturing process that can sustain the community and heat their water. SOLAR TRACKING CELLS

Terminal 5 at Los Angeles International Airport was constructed in the 1980’s and is currently leased by Delta Airlines. Our effort redeveloped and modernized the landside functions of the airport, the portion of the terminal that precedes security. This 212,000 SF renovation focused on improving passenger flow, enhancing both ticketing and security functions, and updating finishes to the terminal. I worked on this project from its begining until the 30% construction document issue. This professional project helped me learn of design from the initial state. It also gave me the ability to work directly with the client during presentation workshops.

THE TICKETING PROCESS Our renovation proposal includes ticketing “pods” that allow passengers to tag their own luggage and place them on the conveyor. Drawings to the right show a selection of studies myself and two other team members produced to study the form the pod should take and its effect on the success of the passenger flow through the ticketing hall. The final form is built to encourage flow from the terminal entry straight through the pod, as opposed to congregating at a linear ticket counter.

LAX │ 09 PASSENGER FLOW IMPROVEMENTS Movement through an airport is critical to the terminal’s success as well as the success of the airport to provide rentable space to the airlines. Technology and security has played a major role in the experience of flying. What was a fully functioning terminal in the 1980’s is now out of date and congested. One of our main focuses was the improvement of the flow from the landside specific activities; ticketing, security, and baggage claim. By relocating major circulation pieces, we were able to add functions to the baggage claim level, modernize the ticketing process, add additional security queue and devices, as well as separate process functions to provide varying customer experiences, from economy to first class.

THE HIGH VALUE CUSTOMER Many airlines are instituting an enhanced experience for their premium frequent flyers. Our studies showed that there was enough space in the current ticketing hall to build a separate space that houses a dedicated check-in and route to security. The space reinforces Delta branding, but is designed with high-end finishes and a lounge style ticketing experience.

Corgan Associates is the lead architect responsible for the planning and programming of the terminal modernization program of four 40 year old terminals totaling four million square feet. Over the course of my three years at Corgan, I have worked on multiple projects spanning the entire airport. The project documented is the expansion to Terminal B, the regional depatures and arrivals for the American Eagle operation. The expansion consists of a 10 gate, 250,000 SF addition to alleviate current gate pressures and expand American Airlines regional operation. My role included the schematic design and construction documentation initiative. * ALL IMAGES IN THE FOLLOWING PROJECT ARE RE-PRODUCED WITH THE CONSENT OF CORGAN ASSOCIATES, INC.

CONCOURSE FORM Initial studies showed the optimum gate expansion to be 10 gates. The length of the pedestrian connection was designed to site the building out of the existing aircraft layout of Terminal B and provide open apron space for the new concourse and aircraft. The studies above show investigation of varying lengths and width of the “stinger” building and its implications to aircraft parking. PASSENGER FLOW DIAGRAM

NUCLEO NUCLEO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PROFESSOR: PLINY FISK III TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY FINAL PROJECT FOR DEGREE SUBMISSION INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
THE NUCLEO DEVELOPMENT IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS
The Nucleo development is an urban mixed used community based on a design problem faced in Lubbock, Texas. A span of residential houses adjacent to the campus were bought by a developer and demolished to make way for low density student residences and a Wal-Mart. The Nucleo tackles the issue of sprawl and clearing of land for one sole function. This development provides retail lease space, office lease space, residential units, a workout facility, a Whole Foods grocery store, a musice venue, and a self-sustaining power plant - all under one roof. Based on the theory of Eco-Balancing, this development is a net-zero addition to the neighborhood and gateway to the campus.

NUCLEO │ 18 MULTIPLE SOURCES OF POWER GENERATION A major effort of this project determined a way to not only power the development alone, but give back to the surrounding neighborhood. The solar reflectors on the roof structure of the development reflect sunlight to an absorber then transfer the energy to the power plant to be converted to electricity by the use of Stirling Engines. The Stirling engine is one of the most efficient means of converting solar energy into electricty for human consumption. In addition to the solar reflectors, the power plant also produces energy through piezoelectrics. The workout factility adjacent to the power plant is equipped with a floor that absorbs the stress of its patrons which is then turned into usable energy by the power plant. ROOF SYSTEM
