Voelker
Park
Voelker Park is part of the San Antonio Greenways development project which aims to connect the various parks throughout the city by utilizing the greenbelts that flow along 100 year flood plains. Recalling its history as a farm, once owned by the Voelker family, the park aims to become a bastian of wildflower preservation and wildlife care. The new visitor center will invite guests to explore the various trails that meander through the live oak forest to the central fields and meadows that hide from the suburban development surrounding the park. The form of the building slices into the hillside beside the adjacent creek, where programming is suspended from the conrete spine. Cantilevering from the spine, gallery space and reception areas hang over the creek edge,
blurring the line between park and shore. Restroom facilities and offices for the park rangers are housed along the spine structure. At ground level, educational facilities and a full kitchen is avaliable to rent and utilize for various occasions. Community gardens are planned to be integrated into the grounds between the parking lot and the entrance, ensuring that today’s youth do not forget the importance of the environment. Like a little Texas gem, the visitor center will ensure the growth of the park and the surrounding community.

Urban Theatre is situated at the intersection South King Street and Punahou. The building is a 12 storey magnet school for the arts. Built in two parts, the entry building along S. King St houses the public art galleries, offices, and recording facilities.Connected to the second tower by a bridge that forms a gateway and stage, the 12 storey tower houses student dorms and faculty/staff residences. Each of the 640 sqft units set aside for offices and residences can be shifted in its structural housing to orient the view towards different perspectives of Honolulu. Views of note would be the Waikiki Skyline, Hawaiian Sunsets, and Diamond Head.

The central courtyard placed between the buildings acts as a free expression place, where students are able to paint, act, or any other form of artistic expression. The balconies of the units above look down into the courtyard allowing the entire complex to become engaged. The bridge connecting the towers also defines a space on the ground floor where performers can engage with the passing community on Punahou Street. The project integrates the noises, sights, and sounds of the city to truely integrate the life of the urban atmosphere. Urban Theatre in turn, adds to the symphony of the city.

activates the wall
Ludgate Hill currently refers to the neighborhood
adjacent to the London Stock Exchange and St Paul’s Cathedral. Being a site where the ruins of the ancient Roman Wall still stands, throughout the colonial era a gate once stood in its place. Demolished in 1760, the historical importance of the site in the planning of London and the numerous rivers channeled underground throughout the victorian age has been lost to all but texts and adventurers. In the hypothetical event that the block where the Old Ludgate was located had succummed to fire, the City of London is looking to replace the condemned block with a park and pumping station to ensure future water reserves are avaliable when threatened by fire in the future. In the event, the Roman wall had become exposed and must be integrated into the site which provides access to the stock exchange from the Thames Link. Reconstructing the former pieces of the wall, a sheet of water flows vertically creating a transparent barrier. At times, penetrations allow visitors to pass through the wall untouched. This process creates the New Ludgate, where visitors are greeted on the other side by an iconic building that highlights London’s rich hydrologic history. The building bursts forward as acrylic dowles adorn the forward facing facades. Within is a subterranean musuem housing a reconstructed victorian water-pump that services the outside water water system. Complete with exhibition room and main gallery hall, the building also houses a modern waterworks, where visitors have the opportunity to engage with modern utility services and systems.

Surrounded by a reservoir, the double glazed facade utilizes evaporative cooling along the two glass facades. At night these facades can be projected upon, displaying images of national pride and other events. The transparency also allows those who are passer-bys to observe the motion of the victorian pump as it supplies water to the grounds. Due to the channelling of rivers underground throughout the victorian age, a common adventure sport of underground river diving is a popular, yet treacherous hobby. The reserviors at this site can be used for training courses for these adventurers on future missions underground. The site is also conveniently located adjacent to the mouth of the River Fleet, a famous site for tunnel diving.

Restore
Preserve and Reinvent
Once the ancient capital of the Chu kingdom during
the Warring States period, Shouxian is located west of Shanghai in Anhui province. Famous for its preservation of the ancient city wall, which served as a defensive feature as well as flood wall to protect the city during the flood season, the city has gone through a number of modern updates in the previous 40 years which have left physical scars throughout the community. Having grown into a density unsustainable for a fortress town, city officials and developers plan to relocate 140,000 residents and reconstruct the neighborhoods to appeal to a tourist population. Part of a team of students, the studio set out to explore a less destructive option for the redevelopment of the city in the coming years.Three distinct typologies of
development were identified; Main Streets, Neighborhoods, and Perimeter Walls. Main Street development looked to remove the inhospitable commercial development of the 1990’s and replace it with a new development scheme that aims to return the proper scales and feeling to the traditional town. Of importance is the preservation of the traditional axis, development of safe waking streets, and integration of adjacent communities, ehancing the urge to explore and communicate. Neighborhood development aims to return the materiality and organic feeling of growth and change to the sub-districts of the city. It is in these hidden materials that the true history of growth and the local residents
can be told. Perimeter Wall development will attract tourism towards the perimeter of the city, easing city center congestion and allowing for the expansion of key local industries such as fresh produce and famous tofu. Alternative local craft industries will help develop the city as a self sustaining community. Role: Lead designer: Main Streets Re-development

Prototype The development of the southern main street is important in that it is currently a popular destination for goods and services. An investigation at what happens at the pedestiran scale begins to define how the changes in scales and layering of the circulation and traditional axis develops the main street to encourage community interaction and safe mobility.

The Artifact Pottery Pottery plays an important role in the development of Chinese culture and identity, being able to trace its beginnings more than 8,000 years BCE. Many techniques are utilized in the restoration of shattered pottery. Old cracks create new lines as they are refused together. New infill adds to the overall body to help complete the original pot, its addition careful to not take attention from the true essence of the overall pot. Rather than replicating the past and fitting it to modern models, Shouxian aims to patch the holes left by deteriorating meodern development and highlighting the past.

FIRST CONCEPT MASTER PLAN
CONCEPT PROPOSAL SKETCH Located in a prosperous special economic zone
near Shanghai, China, the city of Kunshan in Jiangsu provence has seen an explosion in population and economic wealth. To be developed along a riverwalk park adjacent to a newly constructed residential neighborhood, the project aims to interact with the various types of users by creating a hill for people to climb on.
Predominately composed of service and dinning facilities, the project activated the second storey by utilizing three different design features. The building connects itself directly to the walking bridge that crosses the river, allowng pedestrians to freely flow through the second storey on their way along the boardwalk. A monolithic stiarcase greets new visitors SCHEMATIC DESIGNfrom the street and invites them to continue climbing up towards the various roofdecks that overlook the waterfront. From the east, pedestrians are led up an earth berm that terminates in a cafe and multipurpose performance space. The burm then connects to the second storey and on towards the pedestrian bridge. Due to the various methods of bridging the programming of the three buildings, unique spaces are created throughout the site that extend the percievable space of the shops to the outdoors. Open areas are integrated into the design to allow for groups of playing children and nightly community gatherings of dancers and performers. Group Role: Concept Design, Master Planner, Details, BIM

A tensile fabric canopy partially covers the roof deck adjacent to the cafe on the burm and the roofdecks of the two three storey buildings connected to the pedestrian bridge. The canopy provides for rain protection and a refuge from the sun during the warmer months. Much like the trees that line the riverbank accompaning visitors on their walk from the bridge, the canopy utilizes a tree-structure to create a more transparent support structure and tree-like column scheme to help invite visitors to the higher decks. Gardens are planted on the berm to provide private areas to sllow visitors more intimate interactions with friends and family. Open to the river, the program retains an inviting gesture that draws people to the edge from the street.Layering plays an important role in fluidity of movement within the site, creating unique intersections of people and program throught the site. Maintaining continuity of the pedestrian bridge that crosses the river, an extension of the bridge continues across the central courtyard, allowing for people wanting to cross directly to the riverwalk to become engaged in the activity below.

A primary focus for this project was the development of the architectural details and preparation for construction documents. An understanding of fundamental structural design and components necessary for enclosure was a key aspect of developing a detailed wall section and callouts for the Kunshan shopping centre. Furthermore, an understanding of the local capabilities in construction and quality was key to developing a section that could be constructible according to local skill sets. The development of the various public spaces rely heavily on the specific details needed to ensure their constructibility. Investigations had to be made in order to develop an appropriate tree structure and various material studies allowed for the development of the many floor level changes and roofdecks/gardens.

Hailar | China
In the northernmost province of China, the city of Hailar is the centre of administrative power and economics in the northernmost reaches of Inner Mongolia. Long fridged winters are iconic of the area which shares a climate and geography similar to that of Ulan Bator and other areas in nearby Mongolia. As part of the second tier city development scheme throughout China, Hailar’s population is expected to grow substantially as a new economic centre is developed alongside an artificial lake built in the heart of the city. The client is a private local developer and is interested in develoing a residential, retail, and office complex which overlooks the nearby artificial lake. Requested to provide a second option for the client to choose from,
the following project resembles a competition within the office between the foreign architects and our Chinese counterparts. With four weeks to develop a new masterplan, massing, and proposal, presentation to the client and selection of winning proposal was the goal. Competition Winner Group Role: Concept/Lead Designer

Developed as a new hearth for the city of Hailar, programming and development of the final scheme relies heavily on three guiding principles. Plaza: carved from the land Reflecting the rolling hills and mountains of the surrounding steppe, the various gathering spaces in the complex are seemingly carved from the topography of the new masterplan, shielding users from the fridged northern winds during winter. Form: Protected Boundaries The geography protects Hailar, as the project protects those within. Much like the organization of a ger-village with a perimeter for safety and doors facing inward amongst each other, the projects provides protective

spaces around localized “hearths.� Entry: Gathering of People The entry of each ger opens into the central gathering space of the temporary village. The projects greets each entry with a large plaza space for gathering and performing. These spaces work to direct and distribute pedestrian traffic throughout the site with careful attention to private and public programming.
Story: Carved from the land, the hills surrounding HAilar have become important geographical boundaries that have protected its people and culture. A crossroads of three great ancient empires, Hailar grew to be a place for people to gether and rest in warmth and celebration. This project has been given the gift to recollect these celebrations, and give forth to the community a new breath of warmth and celebration in the heart of Hailar.
