The park blocks in downtown Eugene has been home to the Saturday Market since the 1970’s. The market is open every Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. With an ever changing urban fabric, we are envisioning a market hall structure that will be operational 7 days a week. this design merges indoor program spaces of meat, cheese, fish and bakery with outdoor vendor stalls to create a dynamic market atmosphere. these programs are stacked with a food mezzanine.

This project adapted an exisitng hipped roof sturcture in the bario libre in tucson arizona into a youth center for the historic neighborhood. This youth center is a place for kids to escape and informally hangout. spaces are provided for creativite and technology programs. this creates a healthy environment for kids to relas, interact and learn valuable skills to hepl them see a better future.

FIRESTATION 22 FIRE STATION + COMMUNITY CENTER ARCH STUDIO III ASU | FALL 2014 | 10 WEEKS PROFESSOR: DENNIS BREE Our fire station is located in south phoenix, serving a disadvantaged community.This rebuild of the local fire station is ultimately an expansion, including a battalion unit, a larger apparatus bay and a community center. the mental health as well as the comfort of the fire men were the driving factors in our design.We developed equal spaces of recovery (dark cool dorms for sleeping) and comradery(the brightly lite kitchen or “the heart of the station”). our specific inclution of a safe teen space was designed after seeing a lack of resources for the disadvantaged youth in the area.

Architects and Designers typically don’t design houses with easy renovation or deconstruction in mind. Homes undergo many renovations over their lifetimes, or complete building removal is carried out to make room for a newer home.
