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

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.
