RAMAS RÍO AMAZONAS 70 MEXICO CITY, MEXICO JUNIOR DESIGN STUDIO FALL 2018 UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO PROFESSOR EDWARD BURIAN PARTNER: ZAYRA RICO WITH INDIVIDUAL POST JURY MODIFICATION

BASIC BLOCK WITH MAXIMUM DIMENSIONS 40’ x 90’ x 120’

Ramas, the culinary institute will serve as a center of the professional culinary education in Mexico. In order to connect with the community, Ramas will address the social, and ecological issues in the design by providing series of pocket gardens throughout the building. This new school will be located in the center of Mexico City’s Business District. It is off of Río Amazonas and Calle Río Lerma Streets. Mexico City’s major avenue, Paseo De La Reforma, is located to the south of the site. The lot is roughly 3,600 sq. ft. Mexico City has been suffering from air pollution for years due to a lack of vegetation and heavy motor vehicles. This building will provide sky gardens for the city, giving relief from the dense urban fabric. The upper garden will be an outdoor interactive space for students and faculty. They can exercise, grow vegetables, study, or socialize in this garden. The greenery and soil of the garden will also cool down the building during the summer. The angled windows on the southeast façade are ideal for getting more natural daylight into the building and saving energy.

INTRODUCE ANGLES FOR INTRODUCING LIGHT TO SOUTH AND FOR WATER SHEDDING

My partner and I worked closely throughout the project development. Once we developed form, program, and placement of the program together, I focused on developing garden restaurant, bar, and the two teaching kitchens. SUBTRACTING SPACES FOR POCKET GARDENS

Paseo Verde means “Green Walk”. The culinary institute Ramas aims to respond to the sustainability issues of Mexico City. The business district has dense urban fabric where green space is precious. Ramas proposes a reinterpretation of traditional courtyard culture to the modern skyscraper. This building aims to establish a Green Path in the Business District, looping around major parks and vertical gardens, including Ramas.

THE LAVACA PLAZA 141 LAVACA ST. SAN ANTONIO, TX SOPHOMORE DESIGN STUDIO SPRING 2018 SAN ANTONIO COLLEGE PROFESSOR MICHAEL CONNOR SOPHOMORE COMPETITION: SECOND PLACE WINNER

HISTORIC LAVACA GRID

The site is located between E. César E. Chávez Boulevard, Matagorda Street, Lavaca Street, and S. Alamo Street. There are two historic buildings on the site, Fourth Ward School (1875) and Muench/ Pollok House (1890). It is located within the Lavaca Historic District (2001) and is across from Hemisfair Park.

Lavaca Plaza is composed of a boutique hotel that incorporates two existing historic buildings, living units, commercial spaces, restaurants, offices and parking to accommodate the residents and visitors of the site.

AXONOMETRIC MASSING DIAGRAM

MASSING ORGANIZATION

This serves as a connection point between the Hemisfair Park and the neighborhoods. Bike route, which currently ends at the corner of the S. Alamo Street is redefined, and connects to Hemisfair park. Current E. César E. Chávez Boulevard’s curve is maintained and the original Lavaca grid is reestablished on Lavaca Plaza to respect the Lavaca Historic District. Buildings on César Chávez respects pedestrian traffic coming from Hemisfair Park. Courtyards encourages and enhances interaction and connectivity between people. Community can also have events such as farmers market and group yoga at the main plaza.

LICEO “RAFFAELLO” VIA MUZIO ODDI URBINO PU, ITALY SENIOR DESIGN STUDIO FALL 2019 UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO PROFESSOR DARRYL OHLENBUSCH PROFESSOR ANTONIO TROISI GROUP: GIOVANNA GARZA, DANNY GONZALEZ Liceo “Rafaello” is a high school located in Urbino, Italy. This is a unique multi-leveled site with multiple paths guiding it through and around. It has a great view of Urbino’s hillside on its northwest side, and the site slopes up on its Southeast side. This high school is divided into Liceo Classico e Linguistico, a classical literature school, and Istituto Tecnico, technical Institutes. Both high schools needed same basic program consisting of classrooms, labs, professors’ offices, as well as common functions such as mensa (cafeteria), library, gym, and auditoriums. When approaching this unique multi-leveled site, numerous paths reveal themselves to guide people through and around the school. By approaching from via Ca’ Cartolaro, one can fully experience the school from all directions. The main indoor path encourages one to walk straight across the bridge connecting the two schools toward the framed view that opens up to a beautiful landscape of the Marche region. Furthermore, the view of the landscape within the site will unfold below as one strolls across the bridge. The main outdoor path flows below the bridge and connects Cia Ca’ Cartolaro and via Otta-viano Ubaldini following the original topography of the site. Landscaped areas within the site provides gathering spaces for the community, as well as for the school. Double height spaces throughout the school provides visual and physical connections between floors, inspiring students to engage and interact beyond the classrooms.

We started by generating the form of the building to address the multileveled site and the program. After comparing different ideas, we chose Danny Gonzales’ form, two buildings connected by a middle building. I worked on placing the programs, and creating multi-level floors to create unique interacting spaces. Danny Gonzales and I communicated throughout the project to make sure his form adjustment and my programming worked efficiently. Site design was mainly done by Giovanna Garza. We adjusted the site and program to get light into the building and to have efficient paths connecting the upper and lower site.

MONARCH BULVERDE OAKS NATURE PRESERVE SAN ANTONIO, TX JUNIOR DESIGN STUDIO SPRING 2018 UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO PROFESSOR DARRYL OHLENBUSCH CLASS DESIGN BUILD STUDIO 28’-4” X 27’-8” X 14’-6” The project’s design was inspired by the monarch butterflies that can be found throughout the site. The studio aimed to design a structure that is open to the nature around it but also provides a space that is shaded and protected from the elements. It appears to “lift up” like a butterfly taking off, while the roof was designed to be a butterfly roof to help achieve this effect. “The Monarch” is made up of three steel and wooden structure frames that are symmetrically identical, aligned, and connected. The frames were designed with modularity in mind to help ease construction and to keep costs down. Wooden girders are cross-axial and supported by two steel columns on parallel ends of the structure. To provide shading, the top of the girders are covered by corrugated roofing panels while the bottom girder utilizes trellis panels to shade the east and west sides. Corrugated metal roofing provides complete shade and protects the classroom space from inclement weather, while the trellis panels provide fifty percent shading and are transparent enough to give an unobstructed view of the trees. The roofing panels slope downward to direct rainwater into a gutter located on the central axis of the structure, which drains water to the back of the structure and into a water tank so it can be collected. A closet was built on the south side to hold trail tools and classroom supplies with a whiteboard in front.

This project started with five proposals designed by the students of the class. Once one final design was chosen by the Green Spaces Alliance, the class divided up the tasks to focus on different details of the structure. Then the whole class worked together to bring those details to life. My main tasks were to document the process by creating the booklet, and to design the trellis system with Jason Stieler. First, we measured and calculated to span both sides of the structure with trellis. Then we designed a jig. This was to ensure wooden supporting frame to be exact dimensions, to evenly space conduit pieces, and to create alligned outer edges. We assembled these modular trellis panels at the school, then took them to the site to install them on the structure.

During autumn study abroad at Urbino, Italy, we explored the city. I experienced the beauty of this small city through culture, life, and time it cherishes.

Small alleys, wider main streets, rough and faded old stones, bright new stones, Smell of spice from someone’s kitchen window, petrichor coming from wet grass, Shout of joy during soccer game on TV, grumpy ‘Meow’ from an annoyed cat, brick walls that surrounds the people, view that opens up to the sky and the whole city All these small and large things added up and made this city warm and lively.
