roots of change community garden This community garden’s existing entrance along San Antonio’s historic Commerce Street disconnects it from the neighborhood it serves to the south of the garden. This proposed master plan introduces a linear path that unifies the public entrance to the north with a community entrance to the south and organizes planter areas to either side.

Water collection for the garden is based on a geographic watershed. All roofs, including the structure over the new path, funnel water to a single location. From this pour point, water is stored underground and pumped back to spigots embedded in the columns of the new structure. A hand pump located near the cistern pumps water back to the spigots and engages the community members in the water collection process.

tenerife Thalassotherapy center Thalassotherapy is a collection of processes (baths, wraps, and pools) where the natural elements of the earth and sea are infused with the body to restore, rejuvenate and reinvigorate. Each treatment and process immerses the patient in a different element. This proposal for a Thalassotherapy Center on the Island of Tenerife immerses its visitors with the processes and the elements they embody through the atmospheres that its spaces generate around its inhabitants. The project reuses all of the existing shell structures on site, which were abandoned after the financial recession of 2008. By framing views to adjacent landscapes or bring existing site conditions into the structures, each space creates an atmosphere relative to the different processes of Thalassotherapy performed within them.

suburban x-change: rethinking the big box
METROPOLITAN EXPANSION SEQUENCE
This project is a re-examination of the big box typology in the suburban setting and the phenomena of change in the urban metropolis. The site is located 15 miles north of the San Antonio within a maturing suburb. At the development scale, a typical big box emerges on the site in year 1. In the following sequences, multi-family residential bars and towers wrap the Big Box. A strip of surface parking emerges, binding the circulation of the project; the roof of the big box is converted to a large open public space. As the project matures, the developer can add or subtract Big Boxes in response to the consumer market. At the scale of the metropolis, a series of similar developmental strips begin to take shape around the outer-ring road of San Antonio over a time period of 50 years. Selected for presentation: 102nd ACSA Annual Meeting

TX2050 By the year 2050 the U.S. population will increase by half, with 70% of people living in a megaregion. As these megaregions grow, they must identify and leverage critical infrastructures that are capable of binding geographies and increasing efficiencies. This project speculates about one such strategy for the Texas Triangle. Texas population is projected to double by 2050, and growth at current densities would cause land area to double. As the Texas Triangle grows, the megaregion has the opportunity to re-organize itself along a high speed rail corridor. This project re-organizes the concentration of all projected population in Texas into a continuous megaregional corridor supported by high speed rail infrastructure. By allowing the rail stations along the corridor to absorb the projected population growth, the plan ultimately doubles the population with no increase in land area. Selected for presentation: 2016 ACSA International Conference

multi-generational academy of architecture The Multi-Generational Academy is a re-imagining of the current “education to workplace” model and emphasizes lifelong learning and living within a new academic environment. The Academy brings together learners of various age, knowledge level, and from various points along their educational timeline so they can live, work, and learn with one another. Under this model, young learners gain knowledge through the experience of older professionals, while those older learners gain new insights into their fields of study through their younger counterparts. By bringing together the elements of higher education, the workplace, and retirement into one institution, collaboration and interaction between young and old learners helps to serve as a catalyst for advancement in various fields of study, in this case, architecture.

The Alamo City Roller Girls need for a practice facility offered a unique program, heavily influenced by the parameters of their sport and the velocity at which it is played. The project site is adjacent to the historic Martinez Creek with a creek-side trail and nestled within an older urban neighborhood. This proposal integrates the program into the site while allowing the site-forces to influence the form. User experience and connectivity through the site is given careful consideration. The resulting architecture is a mediator between the adjacent urban context and natural landscape.

[re]placing the displaced
ADAPTABLE HOUSING FRAMEWORK
Displacement is a complex issue that occurs to people at a variety of scales and through a multitude of circumstances. To design for displacement requires one to account for the needs of those ranging from the homeless individual to the thousands of refugees forced to flee their homes.
SCALE OF THE INDIVIDUAL
This project proposes a framework to establish interaction and integration between the displaced and the new community they inhabit. The displaced are given a place to live by the existing community, and in return the displaced establish and maintain a new community institution, in this case a community garden. The architectural translation of this framework is adaptable and flexible, allowing it to address displacement at a variety of scales. The residents are given a space in the framework within which they oversee and take part in the construction of their new home. This personalization helps to create a new sense of place for those removed from the home that was once theirs.

The fundamental elements of graphic design are synonymous with those of architecture; hierarchy, scale, balance, the grid, the figure/field relationship, etc. Graphic design is augmented by the addition of typography, and its ability to both influence those elements and convey information.
Manipulating these elements within the boundary of the page or poster has increased my understanding of them and their relationships to one another. Through my exploration of and passion for graphic design, I have bettered my understanding of architecture and design.

multi-view, paraline, perspective Architects thoughtfully create space through the generation of three-dimensional forms. However, in order to convey those spatial environments to others those three-dimensional forms must be projected onto a two-dimensional surface, resulting in the architectural drawing. This was a graphics study of the three drawing systems used by architects to construct those projections [the multi-view, the paraline, and the perspective]. Understanding the principals, characteristics, and construction of these three distinct drawing types fostered my ability to communicate architectural ideas in a variety of situations.

through the hand Although we live in a digital age, my design process begins with trace paper, a pen, and my own hand. While the computer presents itself as a powerful tool, the ability to proficiently communicate my design through a variety of mediums is incredibly important to me. To quote Tadao Ando, “My hand is the extension of the thinking process the creative process.”
