URBAN REVITALIZING MIXED-USE COMPLEX PROJECT SUMMARY
PRELIMINARY DESIGN
collaboration : fall 2011
A collaborative design studio focused on combining the three design disciplines: Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Interior Design. The premise of the studio was to take a project from Concept to Construction Documents incorporating the needs of each discipline, and uniting the ideals of the group members. The Project site is located in Dallas, just off of Turtle Creek Park, and the concept idea was to create a tranquil and organic atmosphere to promote a healthy living environment by reflecting the existing geometries of the surrounding region as well as the more free flowing patterns occurring in nature.

SITE DESIGN CORNER OF CARLISLE & CEDAR SPRINGS SITE SUMMARY

Re ta
il
The Site consists of a sharp grade change moving from Southwest to Northeast, as well as a drop in grade from the site to Cedar Springs. To accommodate this change in grade, the Landscape Architects and myself collaborated to design a split in the building which creates a through axis connecting the street corner and Katy Trail, as well as allowing for a drop in elevation to front retail closer to the street level.

PROJECT SUMMARY This project is located in a site in San Francisco’s Haye’s Valley neighborhood. The neighborhood was once divided by a freeway that split the area into a class divided sections. The freeway was taken down by the city and a park was put in its place. The project site is located on this park. The objective of this studio was to design an apartment complex that fronts the park and will benefit the community.

A collaborative design class focused on sustainable, BIM solutions to design problems. This class covered building systems and site integration to create an office complex in Downtown Lubbock, TX, using ArchiCAD as the primary design program. The studio process consisted of running energy analysis on massing models to find the most sustainable option, then designing the core, as well as the structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

The objective for this studio was to research and design a Homeless Shelter for downtown Lubbock. The design for the shelter is based on an L-shaped parti designed to take advantage of the angle of the sun on the site. The form of the shelter also allows for natural lighting to filter through the entire space, and allows for the homeless families stay rooms to access balconies that take advantage of the courtyard.

STRUCTURE DETAILING PROJECT SUMMARY The first part of this studio consisted of a group project in which seven members worked together to create a 1” = 1’ scaled model of the Berkowitz House while researching and presenting structural information about the construction of Balloon Framing. The goal of the second project was to design a structure which will cover the large span of the pool. The main structure of the pool roof is comprised of a series of space trusses running north to south and web joists running east to west. The Space trusses are supported on either end by structural support columns that run into the earth and end in a spread footing.

INSPIRATION EXPLORATION PROJECT SUMMARY The objective for the first half of this studio is to find an inspiration picture, then program the elements in the picture, then quickly build a series of sketch models based on the program created. Then, based on these initial “Bug Models” build a large scale abstraction of the elements in the inspiration piece. The objective for the second part of the studio is to find a unique site in downtown Lubbock. Once a site is chosen, extensive documentation and analysis of the site must be done. Then based on this analysis, a modeled object must be parasited on the site disrupting the fabric of the city.

PROJECT SUMMARY
The objective of this series of models is to take five pieces of found scrap wood to create a central space. Once the physical model is created, a digital 3-D model must also be created, then sectioned to study the space created. When the model is in digital form, and dissected to study the space created, the new objective is to derive various paths that link the spaces.

SPACE INVESTIGATION PROJECT SUMMARY This studio was an exploration in the space occupied by individuals vs. the space perceived by that individual. The primary focus of this investigation was on the private spaces of our individual rooms, and how we used the intimate and public functions of the space. The assignments served as physical representations of the intangible actions of individuals.

SURFACE EXPLORATION PROJECT SUMMARY This project is an exploration of the character of surfaces and the application of space on those surfaces. The wood blocks denote the separation of spaces and the definition of path. The Sandbox serves as the constraints of a site, and the sand itself is sculpted to create a surface condition. This condition is then further dissected through digital models and drawings. These drawings are, intern, used to develop a single path and a single place.
