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
Loft Units
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.
