Department Chair’s Foreword
Here in San Antonio, the seventh largest city in the US, the Department of Architecture is anchored by this dynamic city, one deeply influenced by a rich history, thriving in the present, and driven by a compelling future. With programs that range from architecture, digital design, and interior design, to historic preservation, sustainability, and urban and regional planning, the Department of Architecture brings value and depth to lessons of the past and plans for the future, following in the example of our unique city itself. This is made possible through the wide-ranging diversity of our faculty: an accomplished group of architects, scholars, designers, historians, and community leaders that have gathered in San Antonio from around the world. Utilizing our distinct cultures, training, and backgrounds as our most indispensable assets, we are able to bring the world to each studio, classroom, project, and discussion. The Department of Architecture is proud to engage students with knowledge and opportunities that fall across the broad arc of architectural history, adapt to the changing needs of the present, and lead us all into the future of design. Sedef Doganer Chair
San Antonio is internationally recognized for its cultural heritage. This did not happen by accident. We are fortunate to have historical roots 10,000 years deep that have been supported by our inhabitants over multiple generations, preserving the distinctive personality of this place even as the city adapts to cultural and technological changes. San Antonio began heritage conservation efforts in the early twentieth century and remains in the forefront of historic preservation in the United States. As testament to San Antonio’s unique resources, the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) National Committees of the Americas met here in 1996 and produced “The Declaration of San Antonio,” the definitive document concerning authenticity of cultural heritage. ICOMOS met again for an International Scientific Symposium in San Antonio in May 2012, titled “World Heritage at the Confluence of the Americas.” The authenticity and integrity of San Antonio’s heritage was again featured, and proved to be a foundational element in vaulting the city into the international spotlight three years later. In 2015, many years of multidisciplinary efforts culminated in the inscription of the San Antonio Mission as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The five 18th century mission compounds, anchored by the San Antonio Missions National Historical Site, and the buffer zone around the inscribed properties, comprise in excess of 2,000 hectares along the San Antonio River. Additionally, the city has the famous “Riverwalk” plus the 28 other designated historic districts representing all periods of U.S. history, as well as numerous National Historical Landmarks including the Alamo, also one of the mission sites. San Antonio’s many fine examples of visionary and exemplary historic preservation projects provide excellent material for urban design and cultural sustainability explorations in studio and seminar classes. UTSA’s locations in San Antonio, its strong ties to the local community, and tradition of civic engagement place it in an ideal position to offer education and training in historic preservation. We provide students with skills to play a leadership role at local, national and international levels.
San Antonio is woven together by the San Antonio River. Along the river, and inextricable from the land, the cultural heritage sites of the missions and early European settlement, provides a foundation for continued change and recent innovation, as well as a rich repository of memory and tradition. Our College is located in downtown San Antonio among many of the cultural treasures of the American Southwest. These include: the 18th century Spanish colonial settlement and cathedral, the 19th and early 20th century urban fabric of the downtown, historic neighborhoods such as Southtown, King William, Monte Vista, and others. Important 19th, 20th, and 21st century architects include numerous examples of adaptive reuse, recent new urbanist works and contemporary designs that have advanced, place-based regionalism. Public art and museums connect past and present. The San Antonio Museum of Art and the Blue Star Arts Complex are located downtown. The McNay Museum is nearby. As the 7th largest city in the United States, San Antonio offers a wide range of culinary experiences. The downtown also abounds with a diversity of flavors and colors. Coffee houses serve as retreats or meeting places. The downtown campus also offers a food court, fitness center, basketball court, and a student lounge. Many students and faculty choose to live downtown, or on the near south, east, west or north sides, as well as in the established neighborhoods to the north. San Antonio is bicycle-friendly and has a well organized public transportation system that joins the downtown campus with the main UTSA campus at Loop 1604. On weekends, locals enjoy walking and biking on the River Walk, following its extensions to the north into the museum district, or to the south, where the riverwalk joins the Spanish missions and neighborhoods in a linear park system-one of the great urban experiences in the United States.
The College of Architecture, Construction and Planning is committed to advancing design and construction of the built environment through interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative construction management strategies, sustainable and ecologically sound processes, and preservation of architectural heritage. Its location at the Downtown Campus facilitates students’ exploration of San Antonio’s design, construction, city planning and cultural traditions. Students and faculty regularly participate in design-build and other service-learning projects in partnership with local government entities and community groups, earning the college a strong regional reputation for community engagement. Highly credentialed international faculty are known for their expertise in historic preservation, sustainable design, and advanced construction management technology, among other emerging research areas. Student study abroad experiences provide a rich foundation for design and construction applications and practice as well as collaboration with other disciplines.

Arch., 33 credits) A non-thesis option that is now part of the degree program, students will have the opportunity of a paid internship with a local architecture firm for three semesters (20 hours/ week), culminating in a professional report based on a research topic in his or her area of specialization. Graduate Certificates Historic Preservation | Urban and Regional Planning | High-Performance + Sustainability
Urban + Regional Planning Urban and regional planners develop plans and programs for land use in communities. Students entering our graduate planning program come from a range of disciplines including the humanities, social sciences, business, engineering, science and architecture. Master of Science in Urban + Regional Planning (48 credits) The Master of Science degree in Urban and Regional Planning (M.S. URP) is designed to prepare students for leadership roles and careers in the public and private sectors of planning. The program focuses on land use planning; design; policy; and open space systems. Emphasis is placed on developing research capabilities and graphic skills. Our primary goal is to prepare students to become practitioners in the planning profession. The M.S. URP is taught with the support of the Department of Public Administration in the College of Public Policy. Graduate Certificate in Urban + Regional Planning ( 15 credits) The purpose of the professional certificate in Urban and Regional Planning is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the historical, social, international, and physical context of comprehensive land use planning and sustainable urbanism.
Historic Preservation Master of Science in Architecture: Concentration in Historic Preservation (33 credits, non-studio research program) Historic Preservation is a process of design for continuity and the management of change within a historic context. San Antonio is an exceptional location for education in preservation, with deep cultural diversity, a long history as a national leader in heritage conservation, and the presence of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our faculty, practicing professionals in architecture and preservation, emphasize active learning that draws together practice + theory. We focus on cultural heritage preservation, embracing both local and global perspectives, to provide tools for achieving social cohesion and sustainable, equitable economic development. Expert speakers, community engagement and research opportunities in Galveston, Texas, Taliesin West, Arizona, and study abroad programs in Rome, Italy, contribute to a dynamic learning environment. Degree and Certificate holders can gain employment advantages in a wide range of fields related to archaeology, architecture, landscape architecture, construction, public policy, political and social science, planning, business, engineering, geography, history, law and historic preservation. Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation (15 credits)
High-Performance + Sustainability Graduate Certificate in High-Performance + Sustainability (15 credits) The High Performance Design and Sustainability Certificate is focused on educating students to design, conceive, and support research + documentation on projects that engage and support the environment. This 15 credit hours certificate is an opportunity for students to pursue progressive design and technical knowledge in making built environments that are responsive to place and to the effects of climate change. Our faculty provide expertise in the general and current state of sustainability in architectural practice, its theories, origins, techniques, technologies, and future potential. We work within and examine the global context from Europe to Asia and the Middle East. Students focus on both the big picture and specific application, including building performance, sustainable technology, simulation, daylighting, lighting design, and post-occupancy evaluation. Students will leave with both theoretical knowledge and applied skills to understand how buildings impact the environment and how building performance can be analyzed, predicted, and incorporated in the design process to improve the built environment. As an emerging expertise, student earning this certificate can expect employment advantages to all firms who embrace or will embrace environmental concerns. We educate people who will make a difference.
On Thursday February 7, 2019, the UTSA Department of Architecture hosted an employee recruitment fair for design firms, companies, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations in order for such entities to introduce themselves to impending graduates regarding career opportunities that may exist within their offices. As the construction industry continues to expand in light of the current U.S. economy’s strength, this event was staged to demonstrate important roles that UTSA architecture, interior design, and planning graduates might serve in area firms, businesses, and local governments. While the majority of students who participated in this event were Architecture or Urban Planning Master’s degree candidates (with some 30 architecture grads set to complete their studies by the spring), upper level undergraduate architecture and interior design students were also encouraged to seek information about post-bachelor’s degree jobs as well as summer internships.

Joel Garreau in 1991 wrote the book Edge Cities, and describes in great detail a new type of city. It is one that exists on the periphery of the traditional city. This new Edge City as he calls it, is fully autonomous and has its own character. It includes residential and commercial developments as well as jobs and industry.

In After the City by Lars Lerup, he begins to describe the fluctuating nature of the contemporary city, specifically Houston. He theorizes that the city goes through periods of activity (stim) and inactivity (dross) simultaneously and over time. This fluxes of “ON” and “OFF” we believe to be a defining characteristic of the contemporary city. This dynamic is only strengthened by the use of social media activating these spaces. Activating through posts, check in’s, and other platform interactions.

The suburbs have become synonymous with security and safety. Theorist like Rem Koolhaas have written about the fear tactics the suburbs have created toward the traditional city. The suburbs have become exclusionary spaces and impact our experiences with the random and volatile nature of the urban condition.

In 2014 De Jong takes another look at urban condition, in New Suburbanisms, and identifies a new type of city that is neither suburban nor urban. Unlike the edge city Garreau describes this new typology known as the Sub / Urban. This new type of urban development is equal parts traditional city and suburbia. This homogenization is known as Flattening.

The City, the contemporary city, has undergone drastic change in the past couple of decades. Non traditional cities have emerged at the periphery, known as Edge Cities. These new types of urban developments are equal parts traditional city and suburbia. These cities have proved their legitimacy and relevance through their efficiency and accessibility to daily needs. The question then is, Where is the psychological center of these cities? Using social media platforms, specifically the phone application Instagram we began to map how Sugar Land, TX (approx. 25 miles from Houston) is being interacted with and experienced. We believe that through the mapping of these digital interactions and posts we will begin to find areas of experiential density over the geography. What is the most published feature of the contemporary Edge City? A mural? A shopping mall? A popular chain restaurant? Through these mappings we seek to legitimize these new urban conditions, as well as the social media platforms which become more and more embedded into our daily life and begin to understand them as a datum and log of human experience.

ADVANCED DESIG
The design process from conception to built work is far from linear. It is like a tree whose branches divide, extend outward, and fold in upon themselves––often braided and certainly interconnected. Throughout the process, communication plays a central role: first as a means of exploration and inquiry into idea or form, later it is instrumental in figuring out the organization of elements and spaces, materials and their connections. Through visual communication, the design is studied and conveyed. The techniques and products of visualization enable thoughtful reflection, and serve as a vessel that conveys the design intent to clients or to contractors. It is the purpose of our courses in Advanced Visual Communications to enable students to explore various graphic techniques, media, material, and methods of communication. The workshop may be augmented by lectures, presentations, and readings. These provide a context or define a field of inquiry, or introduce historical examples, elements, and rules of visual communication. Advanced Visual Communication classes permit students of varying skill levels to progress through dialogic practice, learning from one another as well as from course content and instruction. These guide the student production and organize the semester’s course of investigation.

In a traditional urban city, infrastructures were built for pedestrians. The forms of urban infrastructure existed as bike lanes, sidewalks, and limited distance divisions between two sides of the street. However, since the dawn of the automobile, the development of infrastructures has shifted from pedestrian-centric to auto-centric forms and functions. This drastic shift toward what are now suburban infrastructures has given birth to highways, frontage roads and U-turns, the latter of which in Texas, exists throughout the entire state along most interstate intersections. Each Texas U-turn costs about 1 million dollars to build, consumes approximately one-fourth of the overall space of an intersection, and prioritizes automobile mobility by reducing the duration of a U-turn by about one minute. Is this the most efficient use of the U-turn? Can these monofuntional suburban infrastructures be reconsidered as pedestrian-centric urban juntions?

The Urban Future Lab envisions the future as value- and dialogue-based, progressive, sometimes provocative, but ultimately devoted to expanding the field of vision for a new spatial contract in harmony with culture, society, and the built environment. Our ambition is to shape civic spaces that contemplate transportation, infrastructure, and urban design, culminating in what we refer to as “creative public-interest engineering.� On the one hand, this is about the human environment and being a critical voice for contemporary realities at every scale, which includes enabling social imagination, active participation, and citizen agency. While on the other, we are actively engaged in shaping physical environments by engineering infrastructural and multi-modal transportation systems. The lab is a hub for collaborators of all disciplines and projects ranging from large-scale urban interventions like a vision for the SA airport 2068 and the implementation of a $250-million hybrid infrastructure and multi-modal transportation system along Broadway St., to community-based research like the Southside Pilot. In focus, however, is the city as a whole, its rapidly changing dynamics, and how to integrate them into a reciprocal dialogue, providing students and the community a platform to resolve challenges.

Blurring the boundaries between mysteries and problems is part of everyday reality. San Antonio’s southside, especially, is subject to ambiguities in which mysteries are often mistaken for problems, and issues are addressed as if they are mysteries. In collaboration with the Southside First Economic Development Council, Cityflag Inc., and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), the Urban Future Lab at the UTSA College of Architecture, Construction, and Planning is undertaking a community-driven pilot project on San Antonio’s southside with the goal of developing tools, strategies, and visions to invigorate inactive assets in the Mission San Jose and Quintana Road communities. While San Antonio is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, it also struggles with inequality, mobility, and income segregation. As the majority of San Antonio’s new developments are facing north, the region spanning south of US Highway 90 underscores that the geographic condition is a missing link between the southside and its various communities, the valley, and towns on both sides of the Mexican border. Highway 90 is not only a dividing line between the north and south, but it also manifests a boundary distinguishing a credit-based economy in the north from a cash-centric economy that extends from the southside to a larger Southern Texas geography. However, there are also disparities within the southside. The city’s south is home to one of the most impoverished communities in the nation, but it also houses major economic entities like Toyota, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and TJ Maxx. Paradoxically, the Mission San Jose community with 37 percent and Quintana Road community with 32 percent poverty rates are next door neighbors to major economic assets like Mission San Jose, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with an estimated regional impact of $100 million, and Port San Antonio, with an impact of $5.3 billion.

Mysterious Economies in Mysterious Geographies In today’s globalized society we are acquainted with places all over the world, but the places nearby often feel foreign to us and resulting in misconceptions and stereotypes that are not conducive in the way we as a city address immanent problems such as socio-economic inequality, transportation, and housing. As a result, parts of the Southside feel like distant and estranged geographies to the rest of the city. For many citizens in San Antonio––whether they were former south siders or not––the Southside seems far and distant. This is not only due to socio-economic differences but also inequality in transportation and mobility play a role. San Antonio is car-centric city. It would take someone to travel from the Southside to La Cantera Mall, a distance travelled by car in 20 minutes, 90 minutes by bus. While in globalized economies distance is no longer a factor. Primarily this is exemplified by accessibility and urbanization of almost every corner of the world. Especially, our fascination with “exotic” places found in distant lands seem more accessible these days than underserved communities on the other side of town. The farther away and the more mysterious the more places want to be explored. Whereas, local economies are like mysterious economies in mysterious geographies where the far becomes near and the near becomes distant. However, on San Antonio’s Southside, the near is still near, despite most of its economic activity operating in the shadow of the Northside. Henry Kissinger wrote that a problem avoided is a crisis invented. So, is there something, no matter how small, that we have on the back burner that threatens to boil over in our lives for lack of attention?
Oversimplification of Identity What is Heritage? Problem: Oversimplification of identity and heritage in a city with a narrative that is based on history. In a city in which 63.5% are Hispanic and 50% of these Hispanics consider themselves of Mexican-American, Chicanos, Tejanos questions of identity, belonging, and heritage become immanent in developing history driven narratives. For example, the omni-present Fiesta color scheme on the one end and the scaling-up, of the cowboy boots at NorthStar Mall, on the other, contribute to an oversimplification of narratives based on history.
Cities of Entities What is the impact of an entity? Problem: The entities of San Antonio and the Southside pull in a millions of dollars, however the communities where these businesses reside see little if any of this money. These communities also encompass a large amount of the communities but do not contribute to their well being.
Digital Inequality What is Equity? The internet has become a global necessity in today's society. Data is a means of connection and allowing the world to become like a sponge with infinite connectors and thresholds. It allows for the creation of new knowledge through the connecting systems allowing for an infinite number of possibilities. Access to internet allows for opportunity to bloom. The issue is, who has access to the internet, and more importantly who has access to knowledge or data? Data helps to develop citizen agency, however is the data is not accessible it cannot be used to help the impoverished. This semester we worked to collect the data and give it to those who need and can benefit from it. With the data collected we aim to lessen this inequality and give put the power into the hands of the community.
False Sense of Center What is the center? Problem: San Antonio’s downtown center is only a center when the spurs win, or to a tourist who is visiting the city. San Antonio is a rapidly sprawling city, and in consequence there has been a creation of multiple centers. Now people travel to the Rim, La Cantera, and other new urbanist developments to socialize. Even the highways themselves have taken on a spatial characteristic, no longer an in between but a destination. San Antonio can longer be regarded as a typical metropolitan city it has developed bringing about a new phase of urbanization, a regional urbanization.
Discrimination of Labor What is entrepreneurship? Problem: In San Antonio 18.5% of the city lives in poverty. However, when measuring poverty only household and individual income, or poverty of a monetary concern. It does not address family ties, or cultural poverty which would have a different outcome compared to an economic metric. The Southside of San Antonio is not culturally impoverished. This discrimination is continuing to repress impoverished residents. This discrimination continues when looking into labor and the perceived value of entrepreneurship. If a bakery is opened it is seen positively, however this enthusiasm in not seen if a resident decides to open an auto shop. Why is this the case? The Southside is home to auto shops and taquerias, each an indicator of the entrepreneur spirit in the community. This work ethic and willingness to take risks, must be addressed as an asset. We must dispel the negative connotation of the Southside lacking assets.

Design For Energy
Design For Integration
The project will incorporate integrated lighting and cooling/heating panels. The shading of the surrounding landscape and exterior windows will save most money/energy by reducing cooling loads. Energy will be generated from the adjacent creek (Hydro- electric) and from solar panels.
The building is shaped to accommodate the extension of the adjacent creek public space on to the project site. This extension is built up as a hill overlooking the creek and extending into the building.
Structure Design for Economy The classrooms, computer labs and lounges will be shared across multiple departments. The auditorium will double as an open study hall when not in use. The site promotes occupant health by locating the parking on the corner of the site and making the occupants walk 600 ft before reaching the facility. The landscape will extend into the building to make the occupant feel as if they are outside.
Vincent Canizaro - critic
Circulation Design for Resources Materials will be limited to one or two materials per component (Floor, wall, roof, etc) to reduce the amount of material transportation. Material will be selected from the local suppliers. Vestibules will be used to create a barrier between interior conditioned air and exterior air.
The design provides a sense of place by having a several connections to the adjacent creek. The building will be designed as its own little city with in a larger city (San Antonio). The building provides two main entry; a public entry along the main street and a student entry along the built up landscape. Both lead to a main exit leading to restraints and public space. The program includes a community outreach center that will serve as a place for recruitment, education and inspiration. Design For Ecology The building will be designed as its own little city with in a larger city (San Antonio). The building provides two main entry; a public entry along the main street and a student entry along the built up landscape. Both lead to a main exit leading to restraints and public space. Design For Water
Preliminary energy evaluations will be applied to help inform the design. All double height spaces will have a ventilation system to improve thermal comfort in second story spaces. Non Load bearing interior partition will be movable to encourage occupants to adjust spaces.
The site will act as a bios-wale that will help clean the water before it enters the adjacent creek. An on-site wwtp will collect water from rain, sink, hvac condensation, and fountains. Condensation panels integrated with solar panels will generate drinkable water. Building will collect water overflow from the creek and share it with adjacent buildings.
Design for Wellness
Enclosure
The site promotes occupant health by locating the parking on the corner of the site and making the occupants walk 600 ft before reaching the facility
Design For Change The project program is expected to remain for centuries to come. The site will help mitigate the flooding problem in San Antonio by irrigating to the adjacent creek.

Advanced Design Visualization is a highly sought-after course, which often results in waiting lists of eager students. The course offers students presentation techniques that utilize watercolor paints, colored pencils, and markers, each of which is applied at a professional level to an underlying freehand drawing of the highest quality. Because all architects must be proficient at freehand drawing, the in-depth skills developed in Advanced Design Visualization will serve students throughout their career. Craig Blount
ADVANCED DESIG
Students currently enrolled in the UTSA Department of Architecture are required to complete one 3-hour course specifically focused on developing their drawing skills. In addition, there is an elective course, Advanced Design Visualization, which allows them the opportunity to further hone those crucial skills.

Wayfinding
Phase 1: Spring 2018 - Arc
Phase 2: Fall 2018 - Ide
We have come up with a way finding strategy that includes recognizable icons based on different species of bugs and flowers. We have assigned each building a different color and an icon of a bug as well as an icon of a flower. The bug icon is used to highlight public spaces and the flower icon highlights private spaces, and this strategy has been applied on public and private entrances/exits on the exterior of the building as well. The color has been applied to the exterior faceted coverings as well as interior color schemes so all users can recognize different buildings with ease.

Restaurant and Bar This space is something anyone can enjoy. Any food vendor is able to rent out the space. The kitchen is equipped to prepare small meals and non fired foods. The restaurant includes a full bar that can serve any drink and also includes an intimate seating area for small parties. The balcony can be rented out for large parties and sits 32 people in its current set up but can be adjusted moving the tables around. The large dining area features a custom lighting fixture created from expanded metal sheets and a light metal frame. A diffuser is placed on the top of each module to allow diffused LED lighting to shine through. The dining area seats 68 people. 5 % (4) of the seats are accessible. Cafe and Retail The first floor features two retail spaces with cafe seating integrated into the retail area to allow a social experience. People from the cafe are able to bring their food into the retail area to sit, eat and socialize. The retail areas are a new type of retail experience. Through your phone you are able to scan any clothing item and order it online in any size to be shipped to the store. Customers are also able to order anything around the world on the provided computer in the hall. The back cafe serves small dishes, pastries, desserts and coffee or tea. Any vendor is able to rent the spaces out. VR Gaming The Basement features a Virtual Reality Gaming Center. This space is meant to attract millennials to bring in more revenue to the town and give locals something to do. The gaming center provides an hourly rate or monthly subscription. The back area is a group gaming area that allows a social experience. The main area allows individuals to play games that require physical activity. These areas are squared off by suspended pipes wrapped in inflatable plastic to create a 6 foot by 6 foot area. The niches are for individual or small group gaming.

First Module Design: Hard to build Did not work for paneling
Today, the practice of design is framed by a set of issues that are global––from water to immigration, from environment to urban growth. While our work as architects remains local and immediate, it also must address the larger questions that are propelling change. Study Abroad provides a rich framework for practice in a dynamic world where global, international, regional and cross-cultural issues shape the profession. To reach across boundaries is necessary for the design of a sustainable future. The first step for each student is to learn to see. In learning to see, they begin to think, and from their studies, they learn to question. James Dawes Mark Blizard Norma Blizard Grazia Fachechi Darryl Ohlenbusch
The limitations of the classroom and the design studio are apparent to every architect. There is a critical distinction between lived-space and the geometric space of representation. Yet, within both classroom and studio, we lay a foundation for practice––expanding technical skills, drawing insight from history and theory, and exploring the processes and products of design. These are woven together within the holistic structure of our Study Abroad Program. Our premise is that through embodied experience students gain an understanding of architecture as a totality. The city becomes, for the student of architecture, a laboratory and a teacher where experiences are explored and buildings analyzed in the search for a greater understanding. Our students walk through medieval streets and along city walls, study the work of Modernists and Renaissance masters, visit museums and meet in local cafÊs practicing foreign words and phrases. Sketchbooks are filled with memories and images, train tickets and museum brochures. Each day offers myriad investigations and discoveries. Students soon realize that each place has its own unique cultural flavor and is embedded in a different landscape. Throughout the semester abroad, students gain a foothold in an investigation into the very root of design, culture, and place. Often, this leads them to consider the importance of graduate studies where the search can continue and be refined. Not only do students return with full sketchbooks and an interest in the differences between regional cuisines, they return with a confidence and an intellectual curiosity. Encouraged by the breadth and diversity of their experience and by their independent travels and investigations, this confidence extends into their practice and other pursuits. Architecture is not defined so much by a degree or a license, but rather, by this unending thirst for investigating the world that surrounds us. There are few modes of teaching that carry such transformative potential. We believe that this potential emerges from direct mentoring, field studies, an interdisciplinary approach to teaching, as well as the cross-cultural exchange that is at the very heart of the experience. Lectures, readings, discussions, investigations, exercises, design projects and field trips are interwoven into a singular course of study that draws from each place that is visited. Our students work collaboratively and often with local and regional practitioners and experts in their design projects. Likewise, our faculty interests and scholarly work informs the trajectory of each semester.
“Studying in Italy was the most memorable semester of my undergraduate studies. I was able to study the Roman architecture with a sketchbook full of Roman columns, arches and brick work. What I liked most is being able to travel throughout Europe to new countries, making new friends and meeting other international students.” — Rosalinda Frias, 3rd Year Undergraduate Student

The course introduces the dynamic advanced features of Rhino, progresses on to apply scripting techniques to the overall design process, and concludes by offering Grasshopper to further explore the design process. Students employ specific design processes for each project, while learning diverse fabrication techniques. Concurrently, they physically construct projects using digital fabrication methods. By the end of the semester, students envision how the computer can be used not only as a representational tool, but as an indispensable engine for critical design thinking. Armando Araiza John Bagarozy
COMPUTE
How do todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designers use computers to tackle the progressive techniques of digital technology and digital fabrication? Students delve into challenging texts, engage in rigorous discussions, and apply software and fabrication techniques as a means to unfold the intricate issues of this fundamental topic at the forefront of modern architecture and design.

ARCHITECTURA LIGHTING DESIG
Architectural lighting helps highlight building forms, spaces, colors, textures, and patterns as architects and designers intend. And, our visual sensation and comfort are greatly affected by various illuminations on architectural elements and surfaces. Besides the illuminations on architectural elements, we often get intrigued by beautifully designed luminaires. In this course, students design their own luminaire around an LED bulb or tape light which allows the user to control full color changes and white light color temperatures from 2,000K to 6,500K. Different materials including (transparent or diffused) glass, plastic, wood, fabric, aluminum, etc. are utilized to reflect, refract, and diffuse light. Students thoroughly consider shadows and light intensity and patterns casted by a luminaire onto surrounding interior surfaces. Colors of light and luminaire materials are carefully coordinated.

Glue is not a structural materialâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;two basswood sticks glued together in an architectural scale model are merely an abstraction of the numerous ways that a conceptual design can be translated into physical reality. The Small Project Design + Fabricate studio explores these issues through the design, development and construction of a small scale project in a public setting for a community organization in San Antonio. Since 2009, the Small Project Design + Fabricate program of the College of Architecture, Construction and Planning at UTSA has delivered a series of uniquely designed structures designed and constructed by UTSA Architecture students to fulfill various functions in community gardens and public spaces throughout San Antonio. These structures feature challenging and engaging designs that increase the visibility of public spaces while accommodating functions that include shaded seating, small tool storage, and rain water harvesting. Commissioning organizations are exclusively non-profit organizations or government agencies--a primary intention of the studio is to provide students with experience in public service on a local level. Darryl Ohlenbusch
STUDIO X
Studio X, an architecture studio in the UTSA College of Architecture, Construction and Planning led by Lecturer Darryl Ohlenbusch, designed and built an outdoor classroom during the Spring 2019 semester in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Green Spaces Alliances of South Texas. This structure, “The Monarch,” is located at Bulverde Oaks Nature Preserve and it is used to educate children and adults about the importance of nature conservation and sustainability. An Open House was held on June 2, 2019, commemorating the completion of the project. 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.
“Most go through architecture school and enter the construction field without building anything. This studio gave us the opportunity to see a project go from concept design to ribbon cutting, where we got to experience every step along the way and create a unique form of ‘studio culture’.”
“’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 white board in front.”
