- A1 COURTYARD GARDEN The concept of prospect and refuge is what drove the Courtyard Garden’s design. Inhabiting a simple two-dimensional plane with trees, gathering spaces, a path, and a water feature introduced a number of ways to create an intricate path design accompanying strong experiential moments. The prospect is created when you enter the garden from either end, unable to see where the path will end. The refuge is located within the gathering areas; a more intimate, stagnant space.

- A2 PAVILLION GARDEN The Pavilion Garden was the first to inhabit three-dimensional space. The pavilion was made up of gathering spaces placed along a triangular grid. The spaces were then interconnected with a path, creating a fluid circulation between all spaces. In the pavilion here, the path wraps around the site creating a courtyard space in between. Gathering spaces either serve as an endpoint for a path for a more private and prolonged experience, or they bisect a path and serve as a more temporary shelter for those walking through.

- A3 CONTOUR GARDEN Circular forms governed the Contour Garden’s design from the cloud drawings to the final piece. Points randomly placed on a grid assigned the center of different sized circles. The circles served as the edges of each ‘contour’ or elevation. The randomly assigned points mimic the organic and arbitrary forms of the natural environment. A moment of compression and release inhabits the center of the space and depressions around the site employ the concept of prospect and refuge even more.

- A4 HYBRID PARK The Hybrid Garden sought to combine the last three previous works into a single structure. Amalgamating features from each project challenged the design process since the grids had to be disregarded. Starting by overlaying the plans of each project, studying how the forms came together was important to develop a final strong design, while still being able to see each of the project’s individual forms (the contours, the pavilion, the path).

- A1 SHADOW GARDEN
The Shadow Garden is a space influenced by the sunlight patterns of Tucson. The garden’s design memorializes the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. The garden is made up of two different tile designs arranged in 2x2 squares, then further arranged into a 6x6 plan. The two tile designs are nearly identical, though during the equinoxes, one has benches sheltered in the shade, the other in the sunlight. To promote circulation through all the tiles, the shaded bench tiles serve a more private space while the other has a more open central gathering space that more people may inhabit.

- A2 ROW HOUSE
The row house embraces what little space it has and beholds an efficient design founded in the concept of service and served space. The service space inhabiting a single block within the house and the service space surrounding it. Two outdoor spaces also influence the circulation of the house. The Row House features an outdoor dining space leading from the living space, the service block creating an outdoor kitchen, and a private section for the bedroom. The verticality of the sunroofs over the living room promotes the flow into the outdoor space.

- A3 DESERT OBSERVATORY The desert observatory serves to enhance the beauty of the desert by offering a viewer three unique apertures at different heights. The observatory’s general design is a skin, or surface, draped tautly over volumes adhered to an elevator shaft volume. A circulation path is then developed around the placement of the volumes. The structure’s design is influenced by the natural forms of the desert. This desert observatory is located at the top of a hill in the Saguaro National Park, overlooking a vast basin. The observatory is truly a testament to the Sonoran desert’s beauty.
