Short film institute THE BUILDING IS BROKEN DOWN INTO TWO FORMS, ONE BEING THE FILM SCHOOL AND THE OTHER BEING A PUBLIC AUDITORIUM USED TO HOUSE THE SHORT FILMS FOR THE SCHOOL AND FOR THE SCHOOL TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. THE SUNKEN AUDITORIUM IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE HOUSTON METRO RAIL AND INCLUDES AN OUTDOOR AREA WITH A PLAZA THAT ACTS AS AN OUTDOOR THEATER AS WELL. THESE TWO SPACES ARE WERE THE STUDENTS INTERACT WITH THE REST OF THE DOWNTOWN. THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE FILM INSTITUTE HOUSES A PUBLIC CAFE THAT ACTS AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE PLAZA AND THE SCHOOL. THIS AREA THEN OPENS UP TO THESE LARGE DISPLAYS. THESE DISPLAYS ARE CUSTOM MOVING WALLS THAT ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK. THIS WORK COULD BE MOVIE POSTERS, AND STORYBOARDS. THESE CUSTOM SWINGING WALLS ALSO CAN FORM THEIR OWN SPACES FOR THE STUDENTS TO FILM.
THE FIRST FLOOR OPENS UP TO A MAIN LOBBY AND A LARGE STAIRCASE WHERE THE STUDENTS CAN INTERACT AS THEY MOVE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING TO THEIR OWN CLASSROOMS PERTAINING TO THE STUDY OF FILM. THE SECOND FLOOR IS HOME TO THE ROOF TOP GARDEN TO ALLOW FILMING LOCATIONS FOR THE STUDENTS AS WELL AS SPECIAL FILMING AND EDITING ROOMS FOR THE STUDENTS. THE THIRD FLOOR IS THE MOST PRIVATE AND HOUSES THE ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMMING FOR THE BUILDING. THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS ALSO CONTAIN THESE CUSTOM PARTITION WALLS THAT BECOME CLASSROOMS THAT ADAPT TO THE CURRICULUM THAT THEY HOUSE.

H i s t o r i c Va r i s c o b u i l d i n g THE VARISCO BUILDING, LOCATED ON THE INTERSECTION OF 24TH STREET AND MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN BRYAN, TEXAS IS CURRENTLY AN OFFICE BUILDING THAT UNSUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATES THIS CONNECTIVE LINK BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ARCHITECTURAL SPACES. IT’S HIDDEN ENTRANCE AND LIFELESS PLANAR FAÇADE ALSO IS UNSUCCESSFUL AT EXPLORING THE THRESHOLD BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES. THIS PROPOSAL IS THE RESULT OF STUDYING THE UNSUCCESSFUL AND SUCCESSFUL QUALITIES THAT COMPOSE DOWNTOWN BRYAN, TEXAS. THIS PROJECT STARTED AS AN URBAN STUDY WITH THE CLASS AND REDEVELOPING DOWNTOWN BRYAN, TEXAS. THE DOWNTOWN AREA WAS BROKEN INTO DIFFERENT SECTIONS AND THIS BUILDING ENDED UP BEING ZONED INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT.
THE VARISCO WAS ONE OF MANY PROPOSALS THAT TOOK ON TRANSFORMING THE DOWNTOWN INTO A MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY COMMUNITY. THE VARISCO WOULD THEN BE TRANSFORMED FROM A LIFELESS OFFICE BUILDING TO A RESIDENTIAL TOWER WITH PUBLIC INTERACTION. IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY CREATE A LINK BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, THE CURRENT OFFICE BUILDING’S PROGRAM MUST BE REEVALUATED. A NEW PROGRAM OF A GROCERY STORE ON THE FIRST FLOOR WITH APARTMENTS AND AMENITIES ABOVE FOR THE BUILDING MUST BE ESTABLISHED TO CREATE THIS LINK. THIS CREATES AN INTIMACY GRADIENT,

r e n o vat e
THE VARISCO BUILDING WAS MY PART OF REDEVELOPING DOWNTOWN BRYAN, TEXAS. WE AS A CLASS TOOK ON THE TASK OF REDEVELOPING THE DOWNTOWN BY CREATING DIFFERENT “DISTRICTS” WITH THE CURRENT BLOCKS OF THE DOWNTOWN. THE BLOCK IN WHICH IT RESIDES FALLS INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. THE VARISCO HAS ACCESS TO NEWLY PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDINGS, CLOSE TO THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT WITH NEWLY PROPOSED PARKING AND GREENS SPACE AND IT IS ALSO VERY CLOSE THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. THIS NEWLY PROGRAMED BUILDING ALLOWS PEOPLE TO COME TO THE DOWNTOWN AND STAY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. WITH THESE NEW PROPOSALS THE DOWNTOWN THAT IS CURRENTLY STRUGGLING TO THRIVE, WILL BECOME A NEW PLACE OF INTEREST.

PROGRAM THE VARISCO IS CURRENTLY COMPOSED OF OFFICE SPACES. THESE SPACES ARE NOT LEASED DUE TO THE LIFELESSNESS THE BUILDING EXHIBITS. IN ORDER TO BRING MORE LIFE INTO THE BUILDING A NEW PROGRAM NEEDS TO ESTABLISHED. THE DIAGRAM TO THE RIGHT SHOWS CIRCULATION LOUNGE HOW THE BUILDING IS LAID OUT. THE EXTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING IS KEPT, BUT A NEW INTERNAL PROGRAM IS PROPOSED. THE NEW PROGRAM IS COMPOSED OF A PUBLIC CAFE AND GROCERY ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IN ORDER TO PROVIDE PUBLIC INTERACTION WITH THE DOWNTOWN. THE FIRST FLOOR ALSO INCLUDES A LEASING OFFICE FOR THE NEWLY PROPOSED LUXURY STYLE APARTMENT UNITS WITHIN THE BUILDING.

P L AY | S H O P | S T AY P L AY THE TOP RENDERING SHOWS WHAT THE ROOFTOP LOUNGE WOULD LOOK LIKE. THIS AREA IS INSPIRED BY WHAT ONCE WAS. THE VARISCO USED TO HOST PRIVATE PARTIES ON THE ROOFTOP WHEN IT FIRST OPENED. THE ROOFTOP HAS NOW BEEN REDEVELOPED TO INCLUDE PRIVATE LOUNGE AREAS AND DINING SPACES.
A MORE LIVELY SETTING AND ALSO A THRIVING NIGHTLIFE SCENE THAT IS UP AND COMING IN THE AREA. HERE THE RESIDENTS OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX ARE WELCOME AND CAN ALSO INTERACT WITH SEMI-PRIVATE GUESTS OF THE BUILDING.
THESE SPACES ALSO INCLUDE PRIVATE FIRE PITS AND LUXURY SEATING ARRANGEMENTS. THESE SPACES OVERLOOK THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND ALLOW THE DOWNTOWN TO HAVE
SHOP THE BOTTOM FLOOR OF THE VARISCO HAS NOW BEEN DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE A PRIVATE GROCERY STORE. THIS GROCERY STORE IS ALONG THE LINES OF A “WHOLE FOODS”, OR UPSCALE GROCERY STORE. THIS GROCERY STORE PLAYS THE OPPOSITE PART OF THE ROOFTOP LOUNGE. IT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO COME AND VISIT THE DOWNTOWN DURING THE DAY.
AFTER STUDYING THE DOWNTOWN IN THE URBAN REDEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA, THE STUDY REVEALED THAT THE DOWNTOWN WAS IN DIRE NEED OF A PUBLIC GROCERY STORE. HERE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX CAN INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC AND EASILY OBTAIN GROCERIES WITHOUT TAKING A VEHICLE.
S TAY THE APARTMENT COMPLEX OF THE BUILDING IS THE CORE OF THE LIFE OF THE BUILDING. THE UNITS EACH HAVE ONE BEDROOM, BATHROOM AND A KITCHEN. THESE UNITS CATER TO THE UP AND COMING WORKING CLASS, POST GRADUATION FROM THE SURROUNDING COLLEGES: TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY AND BLINN COLLEGE. HERE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS CAN MOVE INTO THE PROPOSED APARTMENT COMPLEX IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
THE COMPLEX HOLDS NOT ONLY A ROOFTOP BAR, AND A GROCERY STORE, BUT OTHER AMENITIES THAT A LUXURY APARTMENT COMPLEX WOULD OFFER. THE COMPLEX HAS A FITNESS Level WITH A POOL AND IT ALSO HOSTS INTERACTIVE SPACES ON EACH LEVEL BEFORE ENTERING THE RESIDENTS PRIVATE SPACES.

C h i cag o p u b l i c l i b r a r y THE CHICAGO LIBRARY WAS MANIFESTED AFTER WE TOOK A CLASS FIELD TRIP TO CHICAGO. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY SITE VISIT THAT WE EVER TOOK AS A CLASS THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY AND IT PROVIDED GREAT INSPIRATION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT. WHILE VISITING CHICAGO, THE PROJECT WAS INSPIRED BY THE HISTORY OF THE SITE AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF FAMOUS WORKS OF ARCHITECTURE LOCATED IN THE DOWNTOWN REGION. WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE AN ARCHITECTURAL TOUR OF THE CITY TO SEE THE SITES AND BUILDINGS THAT ARE KNOW WORLD WIDE. FAMOUS ARCHITECTS SUCH AS FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AND MIES VAN DER ROHE INSPIRED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT AFTER SEEING THEIR PASSIONS COME TO LIFE.
THE CHICAGO LIBRARY IS LOCATED IN THE CHINATOWN AREA OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS AND IS SUCCESSFULLY SET INTO THE AREA OF CHINATOWN KNOWN AS PING TOM PARK. IT IS SURROUNDED BY NATURE AND HAS SCENIC VIEWS OF THE CHICAGO RIVER TOWARD THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SITE AS WELL AS AN ASTONISHING VIEW OF THE DOWNTOWN CHICAGO SKYLINE. THE LIBRARY IS ALL ABOUT GIVING BACK TO THE AREA IN WHICH IN NOW RESIDES. WITH A SUNKEN PLAZA THAT PROMOTES INTERACTION BETWEEN THE PUBLIC VISITING THE PARK AND THE PUBLIC VISITORS TO THE LIBRARY ITSELF.
IT WAS A UNIQUE AND POSITIVE VISIT THAT INSPIRED THE BUILDING AND ULTIMATELY INSPIRED ME TO CONTINUE MY PASSIONS OF PURSUING ARCHITECTURE.

S I T E S T U D I E S & D E V E LO P M E N T THESE DIAGRAMS AND IMAGES SHOW HOW THE BUILDING WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED. THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE AREA OF CHINATOWN IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO. THE IMAGES SHOW WHAT THE PARK CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE AND HOW THE CURRENT ARCHITECTURE INSPIRED THE LIBRARY.

SINCE THE BUILDING IS LOCATED IN THE MIDST OF CHINATOWN AND THAT MANY OF THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTS IN THE AREA WERE HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY CHINESE CULTURE, THE LIBRARY WAS DESIGNED WITH A TRADITIONAL CHINESE PRACTICE: INK WASH PAINTING.
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LEVELS CREATE THIS GRADIENT IN THE LEVELS OF PRIVACY. MOST PUBLIC AREAS ARE LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM THEN AS YOU ASCEND THROUGH THE BUILDING, THE MOST PRIVATE AREAS ARE LOCATED AT THE TOP.
INK WASH PAINTING IS A METHOD OF PAINTING THAT ONLY USES BLACK INK. THE RESULT OF THIS PAINTING METHOD IS ONLY BEING ABLE TO HAVE THREE PRIMARY PIGMENTS: WHITE, GRAY, + BLACK.
THE BUILDING MATERIALS ALSO HAVE A RULE OF THREE: FULLY TRANSPARENT, SEMI-TRANSPARENT, + SOLID. THIS IS DERIVED FROM THE CHINESE CULTURE AND THE STRONG BELIEF OF THREE BEING LUCKY AND PROSPEROUS.
THE LIBRARY TAKES THE IDEAS FROM INK WASH PAINTING IN SEVERAL WAYS.
55 |
LIBRARY
THE LIBRARY IS COMPOSED OF FOUR DIFFERENT LEVELS. THE FIRST LEVEL CONTAINS THE ENTRANCE TO THE LIBRARY FROM TWO SEPARATE SIDES.
SECTION. THE LIBRARY NOT ONLY HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC BOOKS FOR CHECK OUT, BUT PRIVATE READING SPACES, COMPUTER ACCESS, AND PRIVATE STUDY ROOMS.
THERE IS AN ENTRANCE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE LIBRARY THAT RELATES TO THE KAYAK SHOP AND THE EXISTING DEVELOPED PART OF THE SITE. THE NORTH ENTRANCE IS LOCATED TO A PROPOSED SUNKEN PLAZA.
THE LIBRARY BREAKS THE STANDARD IDEAS THAT IT IS A VERY QUIET, OUTDATED AND OLD SPACE. THE LIBRARY BECOMES AN OPEN PLACE TO LIVE AND LEARN AND ENJOY MORE THAN JUST THE BOOKS.
THE PLAZA ACTS AS A TRANSITION ZONE INTO THE REST OF THE PARK AND OPENS UP INTO A CAFE THAT IS APART OF THE LIBRARY. HERE AT THE CAFE, USERS OF THE PARK ARE DRAWN IN TO VISIT THE LIBRARY. THE CAFE HAS AN OPEN CEILING THAT ALLOWS THE LIBRARY TO INTERACT WITH THE VISITORS TO THE CAFE AND THE SUNKEN PLAZA. AS YOU PROCEED UP THE STAIRS INTO THE LIBRARY, THE LIBRARY BECOMES MORE PRIVATE. THESE FLOORS HOST A CHILDREN’S SECTION, A TEEN’S SECTION, AND AN ADULT

A s t r at e r n o ASTRATERNO WAS MY FINAL “THESIS” PROJECT WHILE ATTENDING THE GRADUATE PROGRAM AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY. THE PROJECT BEGAN WITH US RESEARCHING TOPICS THAT INTERESTED US. ONCE WE DEVELOPED THESE TOPICS, WE WERE TO APPROACH THREE MEMBERS OF THE ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL STAFF. THE STAFF THEN WOULD AGREE TO BE APART OF THIS YEAR LONG PROJECT AND HELP GUIDE US THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS. WE WERE ALLOWED TO TAKE ON ANY PROJECT THAT WE WISHED WITH THE APPROVAL OF OUR COMMITTEE. THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT STARTED WITH RESEARCHING THE SUMMER BEFORE OUR FINAL YEAR OF THE TWO YEAR PROGRAM. AFTER RESEARCH THE PROJECT MOVED INTO DEVELOPMENT AND WE HAD TO GIVE OUR FINAL RESEARCH AND DESIGN BEFORE THE HOLIDAY BREAK. THIS PRESENTATION INCLUDED OUR DESIGNS OF THE SITE AND THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
WE THEN MOVED INTO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT WITH REDESIGN AND DETAILED DEVELOPMENT. I CHOSE TO TAKE ON A HUGE PROJECT THAT INCORPORATED MY LOVE OF URBAN DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, AND SPACE EXPLORATION, WITH THE HELP OF MY COMMITTEE, A PROFESSOR OF DESIGN, MARCEL ERMINY, A PROFESSOR OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, SHELLEY HOLLIDAY, AND A PROFESSOR OF URBAN DESIGN, GALEN NEWMAN, WE EMBARKED ON THE YEAR LONG JOURNEY OF CREATING THE ASTRATERNO. THE ASTRATERNO IS A MEMORIAL SPACE MUSEUM THAT RESIDES ON THE ABANDONED LAUNCH PAD OF THE FIRST APOLLO MISSION OF THE SPACE PROGRAM.
73 |
THE BOOK
MY FINAL THESIS WAS COMPOSED INTO AN OVER 100 PAGE BOOK SHOWCASING ALL OF MY RESEARCH, PHOTOGRAPHS, DRAWINGS, AND RENDERINGS. THE BOOK ULTIMATELY TELLS THE STORY OF WHY THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INTERVENTION ON THE ABANDONED LAUNCH FACILITY OF THE APOLLO MISSION SERIES. IT ALSO IS AN IN DEPTH EXPLORATION AS TO ARCHITECTURE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH TIME. CAN ARCHITECTURE EXPRESS TIME AND NAVIGATE IT AS WELL? I WORKED ON MAKING THIS BOOK FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS OF THE SPRING SEMESTER IN MY GRADUATE STUDIES AFTER FINALIZING DESIGN IN THE FALL OF THE YEAR PRIOR. THE IMAGES ON THIS PAGE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE IMAGES OF THE BOOK. I HAVE THIS BOOK AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING, DOWNLOADING, AND FOR PURCHASE ONLINE. COMPILING THE INFORMATION OF THIS FINAL STUDY INTO A FEW PAGES WITHIN MY PORTFOLIO WOULD NOT DO THE PROJECT JUST, AND I INVITED YOU TO VISIT THE BOOK IN ITS FULL CONTEXT. I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS PROJECT AND OF ALL THE THINGS IT TAUGHT ME. IT WAS MORE THAN A FINAL STUDY, IT WAS AN EXPLORATION INTO MY PURSUIT OF ARCHITECTURE.

B U I L D | O R GA N I Z AT I O N BUILD IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS AIMED AT UNIFYING THE STUDENT BODY AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY BY UNDERTAKING A LARGE SCALE SERVICE PROJECT. TEXAS A&M IS KNOWN FOR BEING A SCHOOL THAT EMBODIES SELFLESS SERVICE AND BUILD IS ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HIGHLIGHT THIS CORE VALUE THAT THE SCHOOL HOLDS HIGHLY. I WAS IN CHARGE OF THE DESIGN PORTION OF THIS PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION. IT REQUIRED ME TO DESIGN AND DOCUMENT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SHIPPING CONTAINER FABRICATED AS A MEDICAL UNIT. THE MEDICAL UNIT WOULD BE TRANSPORTED TO A PARTICULAR REGION THAT WAS WITHOUT MEDICAL CARE AND LOCATED WITHIN A REGION IN WHICH THE NEAREST MEDICAL CENTER WAS A LARGE DISTANCE FROM REACH. THIS SERVICE PROJECT CONTINUES TODAY FOR CURRENT TEXAS A&M STUDENTS.

SELFLESS SERVICE THE FOUR SHIPPING CONTAINERS THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNING, ARE A PART OF A SERIES OF TWELVE CONTAINERS . EACH CONTAINER REPRESENTS ONE OF THE VICTIMS OF THE BONFIRE TRAGEDY THAT TOOK PLACE AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY IN THE FALL OF 1999. THIS TRAGEDY CLAIMED THE LIVES OF 12 STUDENTS WHEN THE TRADITIONAL BONFIRE COLLAPSED, CRUSHING THE STUDENTS. THIS PROJECT FOCUSED ON HONORING THESE VICTIMS IN MEMORY BY HONORING THEM WITH A SHIPPING CONTAINER DEDICATED TO THEM. THE FOUR CONTAINERS WERE SENT TO: THOMAZEAU, HAITI, DOLORES, HONDURAS, MANTA, COLUMBIA, AND LA PAS, BOLIVIA. ALL OF THESE LOCATIONS HAS LITTLE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE LOCATIONS AND THE CONTAINERS HAVE GREATLY IMPACTED THE AREAS.
O R GA N I Z AT I O N THE ORGANIZATION WAS DONATED FOUR SHIPPING CONTAINERS TO USE. USING A SHIPPING CONTAINER RESTRICTED THE AMOUNT OF SPACE ALLOWED FOR THE DESIGN. PRIVACY WANTED TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN TO ALLOW FOR PATIENT AND PRACTICE INTERACTION. IT IS THE MOST PRIVATE INTERACTION, SO IT IS FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE. MOVING THE EXTERIOR WALL CLOSER ALLOWS THE THRESHOLD TO CHANGE. IT ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO BE SHIELDED FROM THE EXTERIOR BEFORE ENTERING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE SHIPPING CONTAINER. CIRCULATION WAS KEY IN THE LIMITED SPACE. THERE SHOULD BE A NATURAL FLOW FROM THE FRONT OF THE CONTAINER TO THE REAR OF THE CONTAINER. THE SPACING ALSO PROVIDES CLEARANCE FOR A STRETCHER TO ACCESS THE PRIVATE TREATMENT AREA AS WELL. AS ONE PROCEEDS FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK OF THE CONTAINER, THE INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE DECREASES, AS DISPLAYED IN THE BOTTOM GRAPHIC. THE MOST FREQUENTED AREA BEING IN THE FRONT OF CONTAINER.

FA B R I C AT I O N O F T H E M E D I C A L U N I T S BUILDING WITH STUDENTS THE FOUR SHIPPING CONTAINERS WERE CONSTRUCTED AND BUILT DURING THE FALL SEMESTER OF 2015 AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY. BEING APART OF THE DESIGN TEAM, I OVERSAW THE CONSTRUCTION CARRIED OUT AS WELL AS LENDING A HAND IN CONSTRUCTING THE MEDICAL UNITS.
SELFLESS SERVICE OF THE STUDENT BODY ALLOWED THESE UNITS TO BE DONE WITHIN SEVERAL SHORT WEEKS, THESE UNITS WILL IMPACT THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITIES OF THE COUNTRIES THAT DESPERATELY NEED THEM. BEING APART OF THE PROJECT IS SOMETHING THAT I WILL TRULY TAKE MANY THINGS AWAY FROM.
STUDENTS OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSITY WERE INVITED TO JOIN IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MEDICAL UNITS. THE SHIPPING CONTAINERS WERE DONATED BY FORMER AGGIES INVOLVED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION SCIENCE PROGRAM.
S H I P P I N G T H E C O N TA I N E R THE CONTAINERS WERE FITTED WITH WOODEN FRAMING, CABINETS, A SINK, AND ELECTRICAL OUTLETS. THE INTERIOR OF THE CONTAINERS WERE PAINTED WITH UNIQUE MURALS BY THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
OTHERS WERE TRANSPORTED BY FLIGHT. IN THE END ALL OF THE SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARRIVED TO THEIR INTENDED DESTINATION AND ARE HELPING THE PUBLIC IN WHICH THEY RESIDE.
ONCE THE CONTAINERS WERE DONE, THE CONTAINERS WERE LOADED WITH A GENERATOR AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES. THEN SHIPPED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THESE CONTAINERS THAT I WORKED ON ENDED UP TAKING MULTIPLE ROUTES. SOME WERE TRANSPORTED BY BOAT
HELPING THE PUBLIC THIS ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO PARTNER WITH DONORS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND THE ARCHITECTURAL FIELD. THE ORGANIZATION WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE UNIVERSITY, WITH THE PRESIDENT VISITING THE ON CAMPUS WORK SITE AND LENDING A HELPING HAND AS WELL AS THE LOCAL MEDIA. THESE CONTAINERS NOW RESIDE IN THE LOCATIONS LISTED PREVIOUSLY.
ARE OPERATED BY THE LOCAL VOLUNTEERS AND C CONTINUE TO SERVE TO THIS DAY.
HEY HELP HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LOCATED IN REGIONS WITH HOSPITALS OR LOCAL FACILITIES. THEY

design
This single story tiny house was created For the consumer. As a competition design for community first, that placed first out of more than 50 entries. This tiny house was Designed to accommodate the needs of a handicap individual on top of designing for maximum use of space. This 120 square foot home has plentiful space, meeting the Requirements of the competition criteria of fitting on a trailer as well as falling into the competitions budget of $8,000. The design eventually was refined by several faculty members who took the project on for an entire class semester and donated to the organization in the spring of 2015.
