Creation of new ground
S t u d i o

Interested in unfolding the courthouse program, creating a system of interconnected, nested shapes, each with their configuration and program language. By stretching and reconfiguring the different functions with their respective objects, we created active interstitial spaces between them. These volumes are non-programmatic and allow for interesting transparencies and intersections of public and secure zones. From the outside, the ‘nested’ objects are still visible. However, sheathed in a coat of tessellated glass, the internal shapes now shift in and out of focus. The refractions of the layered internal objects create complex visual moments. The internal platforms, separate from the skin, are manifested on the facade as lines - flat, virtual features that interact with the depth of the layered visual effects.

Site Diagram
Rockin A Ranch The Rockin A Ranch is a center for adults with autism, Commissioned by Debra Caudy. Located on 29 acres in Crossroads Texas the program focused around creating a place where not only several of the community could stay and live but also a place where a daycare could operate as well. In response, the site is split into a front of the house where a farmers market/goods store would be located and a back of the house where permanent residents could live. A large plot of land was then left in the back as a place for activities for campers and residents. Furthermore, the design was strategically balanced around graduated zones of public and private allowing any resident or camper the ability to transition between highly stimulated areas and less stimulated areas.

Hunt Regional Lobby The Hunt Regional Lobby competition is based on the idea of erosion as one of the main themes of the hospital is waterbased. The initial movement is the creation of a timeline which stretches through the lobby connecting the front of the house to the back while subdividing the lobby into multiple preformative zones. This line then carves out a structure at the end allowing the placement of a coffee shop or small gift shop. Performative leaf lights then float above the double height space allowing for more tight locations versus high traffic zones. of form on the outside is now subverted by a solidarity of the interior and the disappearance of the exterior.

Moncrief Cancer Center The Moncrief Cancer Center Competition is a 6 block development master plan including multiple structures for research as well as treatment. Based on a pixelated site the pixels range from dense to light pixelation to protect the site as well as create zones for activity. This pixelation further acts as a marker for the current cancer patients as part of the hospitals healing regiment each patient would walk a greater and a greater distance as they got better. The structures on site are then located and connect together through large fin walls which help direct incoming circulation as well as link the structures. and the disappearance of the exterior.

Robotic injection
BIO DESIGN CHALLENGE Tasked with the challenge of envisioning the future of biotechnology. We created Muta a living wall that can be attached to any structure as well as could provide multiple benefits for the user. The wall which would be built up of a composite material would allow for the growth of various organisms such as lichens. Which could then not only perform tasks such as absorption of heat, active tracking of co2,the transformation of co2 into oxygen, and even going as far as producing medical supplements. To regulate as well as control organism growth a robot continuously scans the wall as well as becomes the injection point for new organisms.

Combined Model
STUDIO 01 Emulating the steeple architecture surrounding the site gives the new library a level of identification the old library never had with its low flat structure. The process of fracturing the tower allows light down into the lower levels as well began to differentiate the mass into different programs. The program is divided into the stacks in the tower, reading rooms in the cantilever and a public forum lifted off the street above the reading rooms. The complex layering within the glass monolith is through the use if multiple textures overlaying and interacting simultaneously. Allowing the buildings to become its full mass in some views while turning into a crystalline structure in others. Adding to this effect is another layer of ornament again generated through texture which contrasts the solid ornaments that dominate the surrounding buildings. With its long cantilever out the new library can take its surrounding context in as well as warp and change it. Its new reflections would then bounce light all around the site creating new patterns of ornamentation not just upon the existing library but also on the surrounding sidewalks and even painting the vast pantheon in a new light.
