Concept Development
Houston Methodist Surgery Center ‘showcasing’ health and wellbeing The activity and complexity of most healthcare facilities is a cause of patient distress and staff burnout. In most hospitals, the same hallways are utilized by staff, patients and their families, creating a chaotic and overwhelming atmosphere. Inspired by the book If Disney Ran Your Hospital, the surgical floor plans have been simplified and organized to create a 'stage for healthcare' to improve the healthcare experience. Spaces and circulation paths used exclusively by patients are separated from staff areas, allowing for the creation and control of obvious zones. In addition, staff office and service spaces are centrally located to simplify navigation of the hospital, and provide greater access for patient and public use.

Dallas Holocaust Tolerance & Human Rights Museum Creating a museum dedicated to remembering the Holocaust requires a thoughtful and deliberate approach in the design process. During a collaboration design studio, I worked with a multidisciplinary team of architects, interior designers, and a landscape architect. We developed a design that allows the patron to better understand the devastating events of the Holocaust through a spatial, psychological experience. Inspired by Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, the exhibit spaces progress through four psychological stages: delusion, shock, de-humanization and the flat-effect. The exhibits then terminate at a memorial and gallery space dedicated to remembrance and human rights. site plan

Architecture is an integral compositional process, where the designer must synthesize various attributes of a design solution. The goal of this project was to demonstrate the production of a comprehensively designed work of architecture. This proceeded through various stages, from the conceptual to the schematic. The result was a design that focused on 'integration with the site.' More specifically, this design blurred the boundary between the exterior and interior spaces.

Exploring ‘Betweenness’ through Improvisation discovering space between spaces

analog captures
“Betweenness,” or the "space between spaces" is less appreciated in an architectural context. Although architecture involves the definition and manipulation of enclosed spaces, it also manipulates more ambiguous zones that exist between spaces. This project explores the latter through a process of improvisation and abstraction using a refrigerator. This begins through an analog capture of significant spaces in between objects and other major physical elements. An emphasis is placed on intriguing spatial viewpoints: between inside and outside, between light and dark, between open and closed, between movable and static. Unique, non-orthogonal geometries were extracted to influence the remainder of this process. Shapes were manipulated by improvisation—using extrusion, extension, rotation, scaling, mirroring, and splitting—resulting in a structural "super relief." Imagining the final model as a building, and assuming the viewpoint of a pedestrian, the super relief provided opportunities for perspectives that are architecturally significant, with some that are 'iconic' and interesting.

buildings: a technical understanding
1'
Technical drawings are the final product or the ends to the means of work done by the architect. Their completion and reliability is paramount to the profession. With this in mind, this project was an exercise in gaining a technical understanding of all major structural, mechanical and architectural systems. The project required a complete detailing of the selection and placement of materials, as shown by the details. The ultimate gain of this experience was a greater tectonic awareness of buildings.

urbanism: multi-use parking garage In light of the lack of sustainability in the suburban built environment, density becomes ever more paramount. In the sixth and final studio, the focus was to prepare students for the challenge of providing adequate public space, and designing buildings to define that space. This was done through immersion in a urban environment and studying the connection between buildings and a city's public space. For this project, the program called for an underground parking garage, along with a multi-story restaurant, and a chapel. In addition, the students were encouraged to add more green space to the urban environment to encourage more sustainable architectural practices. By designing a solution with multiple functions within the same site, the ultimate intent of this studio was successful in providing an introduction to designing for the urban landscape.

precedent studies: To encourage more green space in the urban environment, the project incorporated green space atop the ramps that circulate on the site. Research led to selecting two precedents: the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, and the Highline in New York City. Both were appropriate due to their successful incorporation of green space, infrastructure, and urbanism.

site+program: community center In the third studio, the students were introduced to 'architectural programming.' This is the determination of design needs, and the appropriate responses of the program to those needs. These include examining context and other determinates in the site. The project for this studio incorporated these considerations into the design of a community center, which features heated and conditioned pools, lockers, office and ramps for entering and exiting the facility. The geometry, plan configuration, and orientation of the structure took into account previouslyexisting infrastructure, pedestrian traffic, and landscape condition during the design phase leading up to the final iteration.

Construction served as an introduction to architectural materials and construction methods. This increased an understanding of how different materials with varying connections cohere to create a structure as a whole. For this project, research and incremental work was expected throughout its development. The building solution consists of a concrete wall connected to a C.M.U. wall with a brick veneer that holds a glass screen wall. The concept was soundness. Massive and rigid materials are assembled in a such a way that they form a structure with great integrity. A screen wall composed of glass contrasts with the properties of the building but also compliments the structure with its aesthetics and secure connections.
