Structural Aquatic Center Studio

Year

Fall 2010

Undergrad

[Structural Aquatic Center] 1

This project concentrates on redesigning the existing roof structure of the Texas Tech University Aquatic Center. A new structural roof was to be designed using different construction techniques and materials. This new design was inspired by the shape and movement of a fish. The outer shape and continuous movement can be seen throughout the interior and exterior of the structure. There is a primary, secondary, and tertiary structure system. Using a thin membrane which lets natural light inside the space and louvers in the exterior of the structure will let natural ventilation weave through the structure and an open glass surrounding the building to let natural light in the space.

The METI School project was chosen by myself and four other classmates to be fully analyzed both in design and structure. As a group we were to reproduce drawings and a full scaled physical model of the entire project. The proposal for this existing project was to give the rural population a new perspectives of construction, to teach the children how to develop self confidence, and to reinforce their sense of identity.

Representational physical model of the METI School. Some of the materials used were small bamboo sticks, thread, paper mache, cardboard, and clay. This section model represents one of the three main classrooms. First and second floor are shown as well as how the materials are placed throughout the building.

Revealing the hidden is a concept depicting the unseen of the city into the movement of an acting school. Inspiring the students to project their work into the world, performance spaces are contained throughout the site inviting the public to see and feel the energy of the students. There is a sense of openness and introspection both inside and outside of the building, engaging students with the city and merging the hidden with shown, old with new, and viewer with performance. Project was done in collaboration with Valeira Sierra.

The vertical lines help emphasis and define the vertical circulation throughout the building. The lines then extend to the site creating urban furniture for the public

Openings are introduced in order to reveal the hidden elements inside the building

[Art Library Exhibit]15

An geometric facility that sustains an artistic environment. This building brings in te concept of transparency, natural light, and elevated landforms. The meaning of transparency is to create a diversion of relations and trying to organize components in a clear way. Spaces are very open to let natural light in. Landforms evolving around the building begin to apply movement throughout the site and create an atmosphere for the people. Both the building and landforms help shape each other. The building is made up of different elevations to define the spaces and let natural light in. There is also the idea of outdoor art display on the landforms. A courtyard is generated between two main buildings (library and gallery), in which there is a specific moment where the two buildings almost come together but are separated by a thin line.
