CLAIRE HAUPT INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
p a t t e r n A pattern is derived from a sequence of tessellations of an Acne garment; this pattern is the basis of design for all of Design IV.
Variations of the pattern are manipulated through projections onto dynamic surfaces and applications onto solid surfaces to understand how it is translated.

The design of the small pop-up shop for Acne includes an inserted plane that is manipulated by an aggregation of the pattern. This shop provides a variation in experience and privacy through its many layers which begin to define the use of each space.
acne flagship store Located within the W Hotel in Austin, the Acne flagship store provides an exclusive and luxorious shopping experience. Continuing the idea of the pop-up shop, the wrapping plane is manipulated into an inserted folding wall that marks all important points of program throughout the space.
The flagship is unified through the main design feature of the pattern infused, wrapping plane. Like the pop-up shop, the layers of the plane provides various levels of privacy throughout the space.

paris urban development
Site: Parc Clichy Bagniolles
Working with international students during my study abroad program, we created a comprehensive study of an urban development that can be plugged into various dense urban sites. To ensure that the vitality of a high density space that lasts as program fluctuates with changes in economic conditions and user preference, we created a consistent framework that will provide for expansion and functional fluctuation. Therefore we have organized programs (which overlap in several areas) within the site based on their need to be connected to a major public space. Where programs overlap is where the reversibility occurs.
TEAM MEMBERS: PIPER CAIN, JULIE PALLARD, MADALINA MANOLACHE
Reversibility is the tool we used to organize the dense urban setting of our site to improve the quality of life for city dwellers. The idea is that this organization can be translated across varying urban sites—a plug-in for urban development. These diagrams explore the accommodation of fluctuation and adaptation to individual needs while highlighting the possibility for linkage between programmatic environments with an emphasis on efficiency of space use. We discovered a large spectrum of connections between spaces, both short term and long term.
This model studies the possible organization of our site using same sized modules to represent path and program.
COLLAB WORK ZONES The collaboration zones offer Coalesce members complete user control through a felt partition system that slides into meeting spaces. These partitions nest into each other to transform into an open space. Tables in this area are able nest into each other to form larger work stations to meet the needs of various group sizes.
COWORKING SPACE Coalesce is a coworking space with an environment that offers the opportunity for individuals to share values and experiences while promoting work-life integration. User productivity is enriched through open, varying work stations which support a range of work modes: collaborative, individual, and hybrid.

FOCUS WORK ZONES It is psychologically proven that lowered ceiling heights are conducive to focus work. The focus work zone utilizes this method with both standing and sitting height desks to provide Coalesce members with a variety of options for focus work.
These playful desk pods provide a private area for individuals who desire to work alone and focus. The desks can fold up and the pods can be pushed together to transform into a fun swinging hangout.
The stacked felt partition, used in multiple places throughout Coalesce, is a user controlled privacy partition. The felt strips, held in tension, can slide back and forth along their tracks, which allow for a variation in space enclosures.

nexushaus
D E C A T H L O N
Nexushaus demonstrates the potential of combining energy and water to design a prototype as a unit of production and will easily plug into existing neighborhoods’ infrastructures. The design is developed for central Texas and is responsive to its physical and cultural climate. The Nexushaus landscape enhances user experience agriculturally and ecologically, while aesthetically immersing guests and homeowners in a Native Texan terrain. Through the use of plants native to Texas, the landscape creates a drought and flood tolerant environment. Our specific choice of plants breed an environment that tells a brief cultural story of Texas while naturally supporting the vitality of pollinators necessary for the continued lifecycle of plants.

“Sun Hands” I climbed to the top of a hill But I had just missed the sun And although the descending arc was gone Left behind were the traces that always follow along The most beautiful colors chase the sun They wrap her trail in a taunting gesture That seems to sing out loud, “this is what you’re missing” I’ll endure the night For the promise of light I want to lift my hands towards the sun Show me warmth Baby, won’t you show me warmth again? And when I can feel with my sun hands I’ll promise not to lose her again And even if the morning never comes My hands are blessed to have touched the sun And when I can feel with my sun hands I promise not to lose her again
poetry & literature center Located in an existing building on Congress Avenue in Austin, the center integrates a study and reading room, interactive gallery space, beverage bar, and performance space in an open plan with inserted, wrapping planes of Texas Ebony wood that define each programmatic need.
A wrapping plane, at different scales, begins to define each program, which allows for an intuitive interpretation of the separate programs.
Vertical circulation is addressed by a staircase that encourages movement up to the interactive gallery space, while rhythm and repetition are achieved through the continuation of the wrapping plane.
oxford shirt redesign The alteration of an oxford shirt constructs a tangible expression of the relationship between the material’s properties and its unit of support underneath—the human body. The idealized form and perfection of the human body as introduced by da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man generates the “infinite” circular form of the shirt which is evenly pleated in order to map the alterations made to fit the human form.

The ARCH Resource Desk is a logical response to the immediate needs of the Austin homeless shelter. It constructs a palette of logic for materials, systems, scale, and assemblies; and programmatically works as a point of communication between the staff and clients. It houses storage for cleaning supplies, medicine, and clothing for the clients as well as other needs for the staff. The adjacent computer room and charging carrels, provide respite and privacy for the homeless clients.

women & children‘s shelter The improvement and redesign of the Austin Women and Children’s Shelter provides an overall schematic redesign of the shelter. The Theory of Change poses that short term changes lead to long term impacts; this is the fundamental basis of the ability that design changes within the shelter have to improve the lives of the clients. A sense of ownership is provided to the clients through the manipulation of boundary and threshold: eliminating existing single-loaded corridors leading to the private bedrooms and moving the doors to the underutilized courtyards.
Each front door features a custom furniture set to mark its location, incorporating a place of gathering to foster a sense of acceptance. Every set is shared by two rooms which fosters the idea of community. The planters provide a physical connection with nature, which is proven to provide a foundation for healing.
SUCCULENT STUDIES An observation of the succulent and it’s proportions and shape. Recording details by hand and digitally through orthographic projection. The representation below is a diagrammatic exploration of the lifecycle, geometries, and nature of the succulent and also drives the design of the module for the pavilion.
lbj wildflower ARBORETUM The Arboretum at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center is designed with a focus on the connection with the variables of the site: views, light, wind, water, and movement. The orientation and views of the existing trees were the driving force behind shape of the building, which includes a sloped roof for water collection.The design of the Arboretum responds to the views of the site with a focus on human interaction with the surrounding nature.
LIGHT & SHADE The sun shade was developed through the design and aggregation of a singular paper module. It explores the interaction and control of shedding light and casting shadows.

The Modular Wave intends to provide light for any outdoor path and allows for an aesthetic variation through modular pieces that can be arranged in a custom order. It produces a warm comfortable light that guides passersby on a night time stroll or run. Each arrangement allows for a subtle gradation of warm up-lighting to illuminate the path.

anthropologie window The front window display at Anthropologie was an interpretation of wildflowers. The wildflowers were constructed of cardboard and paper that were naturally dyed using plants and fruits to achieve their appropriate color. The over exaggerated size of the flowers sculpturally engage and activate the large window display. TEAM MEMBER: ROBERT STRIBLING
