CA LM CA N C E R C E N TER Design VI - Spring 2018 | 14 Weeks Revit | Illustrator | Photoshop Partner: Helena Aguirre Design Excellence Nominee The Calm Cancer Center is a patient-centered care facility available to adolescents and young adults (AYA) diagnosed with cancer in the Austin and surrounding areas. This cancer center is located in downtown Austin on the eighth floor of the Health Transformation Building within Dell Medical School. The name “Calm” was proposed to our studio by our stakeholders, the UT Design Institute for Health and the Livestrong Foundation. This project emulates this term in varying degrees, first and foremost by neglecting the concept of a “waiting room.” Instead, individuals are encouraged to wander and discover spaces on their own. This space is designed to promote curiosity and an open flow through the use of organic geometries. In an effort to utilize the interstitial spaces, a central spine was designed that gradually pulls away to create various niches and experiential moments. These niches and moments are inhabitable, personal and vary in degree of privacy. The character of the space is heavily influenced by the outdoor nature that surrounds Austin, as well as the city’s eclectic vibe and community. The use of bold accents in contrast with natural materials bring this same sense of eclecticism to the space while simultaneously allowing for areas of soft fascinations.

REFLECT
This experiential moment is intended to stimulate and attract inidividuals into the space to sit, pause and admire a natural phenomena. A glass cylinder occupies the center of this niche and produces various lighting effects that mimic the weather conditions outside. This moment aims to bring the outdoors inside, allowing patients, staff and caregivers to experience the calming and pleasurable aspects of nature. By using projectors and various light sources, three different weather conditions, rain, wind and sunshine, are produced and occupy the space.

AUSTIN C E N TE R F O R DES I G N Design III - Fall 2016 | 9 Weeks Revit | Illustrator | Photoshop Located in the heart of downtown Austin, Texas, the Austin Center For Design partially occupies the second and third floors within the historical Starr Building. The scope of this project aimed to create a design center that would host a variety of programs, such as permanent and temporary exhibits, as well as interactive workshops thatwould inform the public about design and the design process as a whole. This design center was to foster high energy and creativity to represent the culture of Austin. In an effort to harvest some of the historic elements of the building, this design exposes the original concrete columns and beams while preserving the marble half wall around the escalators. Community, collaboration and curiosity were at the core of this design and were emphasized through a massive staircase near the windows and the cantilevered pods at both ends of the space. The large staircase serves a dual purpose: a lounge area for visitors and a space for lectures and events to be held. The cantilevered pods connect the two levels and show glimpses of collaborative activites, such as meetings and workshops. Orange was used as the primary accent color throughout the space and as a means of wayfinding.

B AUH A U S CE N TE N N IA L Design IV - Spring 2017 | 9 Weeks Rhino | Illustrator | Photoshop Located in the Harry Ransom Center right on the University Of Texas campus, this temporary exhibit pays tribute to the 100 year anniversary of the Bauhaus. Using the Bauhaus facade in Dessau as initial inspiration, I developed a 2D pattern from the basic shape of a square and a similar layering technique. I decided to only employ my pattern as a ceiling or floor condition, extruding the squares of the pattern as I saw it and thus creating a 3D structure. To emphasize the thresholds of the exhibit space from one area of displays to the next, a gradual decline in ceiling extrusions created directionality and a pathway for visitors to follow. The pattern remains consistent in these thresholds and where the variation occurs is within the individual artifact displays. The floor and ceiling extrusions experience a sort of push and pull visual as they essentially form the frames for the displays. Frosted acrylic will be used for all of the ceiling extrusions and displays and a frosty blue paint will coat the walls of the Harry Ransom Center to eloquently compliment the Bauhaus artifacts as well as the acrylic.

B AUH A U S A R TIF A CT D I S P L A Y Design IV - Spring 2017 | 4 Weeks Rhino | Illustrator | Photoshop The design of this display was centered around my previous bauhaus artifact, Gunta Stolzl’s “Slit Tapestry Red/Green.” Gunta Stolzl’s tapestry contain enormous amounts of depth and complexity and this display was inspired by these factors. Instead of a typical artifact display seen in most museums, this display is essentially an entire room dedicated to this particular tapestry. The space is designed in a way that forces individuals to weave in and out just as a loom does when creating textiles. In an effort to convey the materiality of the tapestry, the space is composed of padded felt and everything in the space is free to touch. The walls of the display form different seating nooks so individuals can sit, pause and really embrace the materiality, colors and complexity of the tapestry.

I NN O V A TIV E A S S E M B L Y Construction II - Spring 2017 | 4 Weeks Illustrator | Photoshop Partner: Ana Berthelsen The goal of this project was to create an innovative wall, floor or ceiling assembly by using only found or recycled materials. My partner and I ultimately decided to build a ceiling assembly made out of recycled aluminum cans. After compiling all of the cans, we first cut out the middle sheet layer and laid it flat. We then began cutting two inch wide strips from this flattened piece, followed by a specific folding technique to attach the pieces to each other to form links. Essentially, each strip is attached to another without the help of any external factor. Each link is then wrapped around a square piece of metal mesh diagonally until completely covered. A hold is left in the center of each metal mesh sheet to allow for a light source to hang down through. Each covered sheet can either perform individually or be grouped together with multiple ceiling assemblies.

CE R A MIC TIL E D E S IG N Construction II - Spring 2017 | 4 Weeks Illustrator | Photoshop This project was an opportunity to design and fabricate our own ceramic tiles. We began the process first by looking at inspiration and then moved toward creating a digital pattern to use as a guide to carve and mold the first tile. Once the tile is designed and carved, it is used to cast a plaster mold. Once the plaster sets, the mold is removed from the frame and used to press new tiles. Each tile is hand pressed using the mold and then laid out to dry. The finished tiles are then washed and fired. Glazing is applied chemically to the tiles during the firing process. These tiles have a high relief surface and are thus best suited for bathroom and kitchen wall application. The unique pattern of these tiles allows for multiple configuration options and the ability to create different patterns when applied.
