DESCRIPTION At the Amtrak Train Station, the core mission is to mitigate the boundary caused by the existing railroad tracks. The new station creates a node for the city, and allows for the public to easily cross the tracks and engage in the variety of programs at the site. The station aims to integrate the travellers, the pedestrians, the adjacent residents, and the adjacent YMCA and recreational facilities and trails. The station's tracks are enveloped in a structural spine. The program wraps around this spine to allow for all programs and public space along the site to engage with the trains passing through the station. The building is comprised of triangular structure that is demonstrated in the more delicate, wooden spine, as well as the heavier, concrete of the wrapping program.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Critical connections on the site create a node in the city, rather than a dividing line that are often created by train tracks.
Train tracks act as spine. Program wraps around the spine to connect all programs with tracks. Wrapping program connects nodes.
Triangular structure grid utilized. Triangular waffle grid struc ture for wrapping program. Wood beam triangulated struc ture for station. .

DESCRIPTION The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center has one core mission: to educate the public of the importance of conserving native wildflowers, plants and landscapes. The Wildflower Pavilion aims to reinforce LBJ's ideals of education and preservation by creating a space that can be used for classrooms, exhibits, and receptions. Built on the expanded trails of the new arboretum, the pavilion is submerged in the vast wild landscape. The building, influenced by light, wind, and water, utilizes sustainable features while capturing views of the beautiful landscape.

MASSING CONCEPT The site for this project is intended to teach visitors about preserving the natural environment and its organic growth. In order to reinforce this concept, The structure emphasizes this idea of organicism and growth. These two volumetric forms demonstrate dynamic movement and growth. One houses the open pavilion, while the other houses the restrooms, kitchen, and storage.

SECTION DIAGRAM
WIND, WATER, LIGHT The pavilion utilizes a series of cooling strategies for the hot Austin climate. The form creates a chimney effect that pulls air into the space and pushes the warm air out. The structure is oriented to gain the southerly winds. The Pavilion is located 3 feet below the ground line, creating a thermal cooling effect. The roof of the structure works as a shading device to both the indoor space and the outdoor patio. The roof collects rainwater that is used for cooling and irrigation.

SOUTH FACADE The indoor pavilion extends its space by opening up the sliding glass door system to create a large shaded outdoor space. The open facade captures the wide view of the natural landscape of the arboretum. These factors allow inhabitants to experience the beauty of the landscape with the comfort of shade and cooling systems. 

and flow into an underground reservoir. The roof also directs cool air in and warm air out. The roof allows for natural light to enter through the high fenestration. Because it faces north, it never re cieves direct sunglight, minimizing the amount of glare in the space. The north fenestration captures a unique view of the sky, while the southern fenestration creates wide views of the natural landscape.

NIGHT OWL - LAMP DESIGN PROFESSOR KIETH SIMON
DURATION 4 WEEKS
SEMESTER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS I
DESCRIPTION The Night Owl is the perfect lighting fixture for outdoor courtyards and for night owls that love to stay up late working or having fun. The lamp's natural material and color palette works with all courtyard materials. The sculptural form allows the fixture to sit in the courtyard as a sculpture by day and a lamp at night. The lamp has a warm glow, transforming the courtyard from a dark, uninviting area to a space fit for production and recreation. The wooden rings and the frosted glass work to diffuse the light. At 3'4", the height is ideal for illuminating seated tasks as well as for illuminating the ground for circulation. Because of the lamp's lightweight materials and stable structure, the luminaire is portable, allowing users to illuminate various tasks at any location. The lamp has three lighting settings designed for a variety of functions within a courtyard. This allows for the user to customize their desired lighting, as well as saving energy by dimming or turning lights off when necessary. The low setting is designed to illuminate the path in order to create a safe and walkable environment at night. The medium setting is designed to illuminate an area for students to partake in recreational and social activities. The high setting is designed for activities that require higher quantities of light and contrast, such as reading. 

SEMESTER DESIGN V FALL 2O14
DESCRIPTION Object Oriented Ontology theorizes the relationship of objects and the difference between the identity of form and the perception of form. This theory drove the process of creating a form that is entirely independent of vernacular connotations of architecture. The form, digitally fabricated using 3DS Max, demonstrates the constraints that forms must encounter when they enter the real world, such as gravity, ground plane, and materiality. A second form is built onto form one, creating a form that challenges the principles of independence and dependence. A third form is constructed to relate to both forms one and two while explicitly demonstrating the architectural concept of structure and rationality and their relationships to dependent and independent forms.

FORM TWO - CELLULAR GROWTH In order to maintain the formal and conceptual language of Form 1, I continued the exploration of organic qualities, growth, and dynamic movement. The word organic has connotations of being loose in form and free of a rigid system. However, architecture is defined by its systematic patterns and extreme rationality. I wanted to develop a form that would utilize this dichotomy harmoniously. Cellular growth utilizes both systematic patterns and organic qualities. I studied the cellular growth and created a set of criteria that defined the formal qualities of the organic growth process. This iterative process resulted in a series of modules that tesselate over the surface of form 1, creating a skin that appears to emerge from the form.

SOUTH LAMAR URBAN PLANNING + DEVELOPMENT PROFESSOR SARAH GAMBLE
DURATION 3 WEEKS
SEMESTER DESIGN IV SPRING 2014
DESCRIPTION South Lamar is a central transportation hub that is home to multiple neighborhoods and many housing complexes. The current state of this street is unsafe and unslightly for residents and visitors. Plan Radii utilizes a system that ensures all residents and visitors on South Lamar close proximity to transporation, food, and recreation. This system will increase the amount of energy efficient transportation methods while making the corridor safer and more desirable to inhabitants. The plan uses form codes in order to improve the development along the corridor and to increase the safety and walkability of the road. After developing codes for South Lamar, a residential complex and library was designed at the end of the corridor.

SOUTH LAMAR CONDITIONS
PROBLEM : TRANSPORTATION Biking is difficult along this road. The bike lanes are poor, and there are no bike racks along the road. Walking is also difficult because of the narrow width of the sidewalks and the limited number of crosswalks. There is very little parking and the lanes for driving are unsafe. There are very few transit stops, and the distance between the stops are too far.
PROBLEM : COMMUNITY Along South Lamar, there is very little greenspace. There is also a need for parks and recreational activities to draw people to live here. There is little permeability for the neighborhoods to walk to the corridor. There is a high level of division between the socioeco nomic classes along South Lamar.
PROBLEM : SAFETY + APPEARANCE South Lamar is dominated by concrete parking lots. There are very few street lights, which reduces the safety and reduces the walkability of the road. There are several car accidents that occur along this road because of the lack of a median and because there are no protected left turns.
SOLUTION : TRANSPORTATION We creates several nodes along the corridor. These nodes serve as centers for transportation. Each node is within 1/2 mile to anoth er node. At each node, there is a bus stop, consolidated parking, a bike rack, and a crosswalk.
SOLUTION : COMMUNITY Each node also serves as community centers. Each node will have a different identity that associates with the type of activities that occur at them. Gardens, parks, outdoor theaters, and sculp ture gardens are the central programs occuring along the corridor.
SOLUTION : SAFETY + APPEARANCE Along the entire corridor, the sidewalk will widen to invite more pedestrians. The bike lanes will also be wider and more consis tant. Trees will be planted in the median and at the edge of the sidewalk to allow a buffer between pedestrians and drivers. More streetlights will be installed along the corridor.

MASSING PROCESS DIAGRAMS
Urban sprawl in Austin is rapidly increasing as the city grows. Families move from the city to the suburbs because they are more attractive to parents. However, it is important to keep families within the city. When the number of children decrease in a city, the quality of the schools in the city fall, causing many longterm negative impacts to the quality of life in the city. In order to mitigate urban sprawl, it is pertinant to make city life more appealing to parents. By studying suburban qualities and

applying them to a dense, urban setting, families will be more likely to stay in the city. With more urban families in Austin, urban sprawl will dwindle and the quality of education and life within cities will improve.

DESCRIPTION The Barkitecture Austin doghouse design competition is a fundraiser presented by the Animal Lovers of Austin. During the competition day, the doghouse entrees are auctioned off, and all of the proceeds go towards helping abandoned and abused dogs find safe homes. Each year, many firms, companies, and students enter innovative doghouses. Our team represented the University of Texas School of Architecture. The purpose of our doghouse, 1-2-3 House, is to offer the dog a place to rest in the sun, in the shade, or in shadow. Simple 2"x2" plywood construction allows for easy and economically efficient construction. Southern orientation allows the dog to experience different lighting effects behind a wood screen while still allowing for views into the yard. A built in water bowl and spigot attach to a watering hose to allow for easy waterbowl fill-up.

DESCRIPTION Located on South Congress in Austin, the Austin Green Center serves as a community center that has a mission of educating families to develop a more sustainable lifestyle and promoting greener practices. The Austin Green Center is home to the Austin Energy Green Building offices. A central atrium lobby space is the center for all circulation and sustainability educational resources. The Green Center also houses a gallery, library, auditorium, ballrooms, and green roof to create a public center for the community. By inviting the community to the space, more people will be exposed to a more sustainable lifestyle.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION RESEARCH Per Capita consumption of energy in the US is exceptionally high in comparison to competing first world countries. The highest amount of energy is being used to heat and power homes. Our energy consumption can only decrease if the US citizens take initiative. However, Americans are wasteful of energy because they believe it is too difficult to be sustainable or because they are uneducated about sustainable practices. It is clear from the research that the solution to energy use reduction is education. The mission of the Austin Green Center is to educate the community about how to live a greener life. Visitors have opportunities to learn about energy use reduction, recycling, composting, and other green living techniques.
