Introduction

4th Year Studio Project, Spring 2009

PROGRAM Kindergarten through 12th grade school SITE Northeast Heights of Albuquerque, NM. Adjacent to the Arroyo del Oso Park. PROCESS The development of the school began as a study of the haptic qualities of materials through collage, assemblage and photography, gradually incorporating the site and developing spaces that activate sensory perceptions of touch, sight, smell, and sound.

(A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck)

SOLUTION “A bell is a cup, until it is struck” The Bell Cup School name references the idea that a simple object can be transformed by shift in perspective. This project seeks to reflect that idea through its design of spaces and elements that take on different significance as students grow.

Bell Cup School

Using the rationale of a school as a microcosm of society, I broke up the mass into discreet pieces and organized them according subject/function rather than grade. The school takes advantage of the 300+ sun days in Albuquerque by moving the majority of circulation out of doors. A hierarchy of spaces is created and an urban feeling is created as a diverse student body moves between buildings. “How does architecture affect learning?” is a fundamental question that this project asks.

Reservoir Site

SITE University of New Mexico campus, Albuquerque, NM PROCESS Several visits were made to the current Fine Art Museum and extensive interviews with museum curators and staff were conducted to determine the scope of the program and the requirements of the spaces.

The design for the University of New Mexico Fine Art Museum (FAM) took shape through an extensive site analysis and the asking of â&#x20AC;&#x153;what if?â&#x20AC;? questions, which gradually led to an expansion and transformation of the initial program.

What if the site is connected to the park between Redondo and Central Ave? What if Redondo was rerouted? What if the pump house in the park is removed with the reservoir?

SOLUTION Located on the site of a soon-to-be demolished city reservoir, the University of New Mexico Fine Art Museum (FAM) seeks to connect nearby elements of the campus and urban fabric as well as reflect the pedagogical mission of the museum through an engaging form that leads visitors through a flexibly choreographed experience.

3rd Year Studio Project, Spring 2008

UC Santa Barbara Equestrian Team

Catherine House

PROGRAM UC Santa Barbara Equestrian Team Housing SITE University of California Campus, Santa Barbara, CA PROCESS I worked with my colleague Nick Byers on this team project. The most important lesson I learned during this studio exercise was what a successful collaboration is like. In architecture, despite public credit usually going to a sole designer, authorship is often blurry at best. Architecture is almost always the result of a team effort even in the smallest firms. Throughout this project Nick and I negotiated and eventually agreed on each design decision. We collaborated on all components often working on different layers of the same drawing. I learned a great deal about my own design process and collaborating successfully with others.

SOLUTION In response to climate, location, and programmatic factors, permeability is the driving design scheme. Daylighting and natural ventilation strategies inform its aesthetics and pay homage to the adjacent Campbell Barn, which is also referenced through volume, material selection, and tectonic language. Catherine House’s skin is made of horizontally oriented wood battens to control sun penetration as well as allowing for coastal breeze to ventilate the interior when glazed partitions behind the slats are opened.

Trees integrated within the building’s footprint on the east and west sides, aid in heat avoidance during the morning and late afternoon hours. The East facade contains Catherine House’s formal entrance that greets the occupants as well as prospective students. The office for UC Santa Barbara’s equestrian team is also accessible from the plaza. An informal entrance to the building is located on the Northwest side where it is accessible by car, bicycle and pedestrian traffic.

SITE PLAN

SITE 209 Cornell Dr SE, Albuquerque, NM

Located at 120 Cornell Dr Albuquerque, NM

PROCESS For this project we could choose between two sites; one a gently sloping south facing hill, the other a typical urban lot with poor solar access. I chose the urban lot . The less than ideal solar access is what makes the site appealing. For sustainability in the built environment to be realized, previously rejected sites must be reconsidered and innovative solutions for passive solar heating, lighting and cooling must be realized.

Average small urban lot

SOLUTION Sustainability is an elusive goal, achievable only in the confluence of dynamic systems. EVA House moves towards sustainability by considering its location as well as its orientation and by considering not just its assembly but its eventually disassembly too. Modular construction strategies, heating, cooling and lighting were major concerns but so was basic livability.

Using the passive energy of the Bernoulli principle and convective currents, the vented roof cavity evacuates hot air in the summer. In winter, the vents are closed creating a passively warmed buffer between the exterior and the insulated interior. 14

Structures 1 + Personal Project, Spring 2008

PROGRAM Recycled goods transfer station SITE 1st St. between Lead and Coal, Albuquerque, NM D.

PROCESS I examined common waste streams and then investigated ways to repurpose the materials in a way that would satisfy the programmatic requirements and hopefully transcend their accustomed materiality.

Site Plan

SOLUTION The Up-Cycle Recycling Center is itself an example of creatively using waste products to satisfy a basic need, in this case, shelter. Pallets are used extensively and sculpturally as a building skin, providing shade as well as a support structure for photovoltaic panels and signage. Pallets are also taken apart and reassembled as trusses, which are used for both horizontal and vertical structural elements.

Cleansing the [Pallet]

PERSONAL PROJECT / RESEARCH This sculpture grew out of the UpCycle Recycling Center. I wanted to explore some of the ideas embedded in that project in the physical world in addition to the digital world.

Concept Diagram: Metamorphosis of a repeatable module

PROCESS Utilizing the repeatable module of pallets, I customized their position in space in order to explore the formal and spatial possibilities of this otherwise mundane and ubiquitous object.

Personal Work

Design/Build in Northern New Mexico

Salamon Residence

PROGRAM Personal Residence SITE West Mesa, Taos, NM PROCESS Located on the stark and beautiful mesa northwest of Taos, New Mexico. I started this rammed earth home from a generic set of plans, customizing them in a dynamic dialogue of design and construction that took eight years.

The 750 square foot home features black and greywater recycling systems, rainwater catchment, passive solar design, and a photovoltaic system that supplies all of the electricity. The walls are built of old tires filled with earth and rammed until hard. The house is completely off the grid. The construction of this home is a collaboration between me and my wife; the two of us doing the majority of construction. We built our home out of pocket, living without running water or electricity for almost three years. We lived on site and always held full time jobs. Building our home was what we did after work and on the weekends. B.

A. Day 1: Trenching for the first course of tires F.

B. Pounding tires around the tent that we lived in for five months C. Completed home with blackwater constructed wetland system in foreground D. Progress: Development of the kitchen E. Completed kitchen with cabinets built from reclaimed wood F. Drawers built with integral wooden full extension slides G. Rolling shelves

H. Building Trusses I. Placing the septic tank for the constructed wetland system J. Installing glass on the south facade K. Plastering the earth cliff (area of excavation) L. Placing rock in the greywater planter

M. After five months the house was enclosed and we moved in despite not having running water or electricity yet. Pictured is the first snowfall after we moved in. N. Interior showing recycled wood ceiling and greywater planter

Thank you for your time and consideration.
