TEAM 1

Design Philosophy For over 35 years our focus has been innovative, environmentallysensitive projects that respond to and respect site and climate. Every design is guided by our rare understanding and sympathy for the natural environment; we consider environmental harmony to be the key to success. We strive to create a quiet integration of structure and landscape that encourages and demonstrates notions of environmental stewardship. We are students of regional influences and favor the deeper meaning of entry sequence, scale and materials (timeless natural materials that link earth and sky, color and form). Our work is of its time and place and is shaped by climate and land rather than given characteristics as decoration or adornment. Inspiration always comes from setting and how a design should respond to the environment; we endeavor to connect people to place. We find great pleasure designing joyous public places of mystery and surprise where usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences are enhanced by a sequence of discoveries, a visual progression to thrill the imagination; coaxing the observer along a determined path of temptation, where discoveries are revealed along the way. For 36 years we have pioneered new ideas in resource conservation. We enjoy expressing in our work how to appropriately respond to, and respect both site and environment and use our work as a valuable tool to teach these notions to visitors. Each project is our opportunity to meld an educational message, a design that reinforces this message, and a design that itself, teaches environmental awareness.

Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center Red Rock National Conservation Area, Nevada

The LEED Gold Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center consists of a new 8,000 sf. Visitor Arrival building housing flexible exhibit space, a classroom and an amphitheater, along with 44,000 sf. of outdoor exhibits and gathering areas. Here, indoor and outdoor interpretation, administration, and the stunning landscape are integrated as one. The educational content of the exhibits and of the building are inseparable as both introduce over one million visitors a year to water harvesting, greywater irrigation, climate-specific architecture, and the use of shade, humidity, and air movement to temper outdoor space. Many resource conserving ideas are incorporated into the project. The Arrival building is sheltered by a roof with broad overhangs that creates an intermediate thermal transition zone and harvests rainwater used for interpretive exhibits and landscape irrigation. High-efficiency mechanical systems were specified, while daylighting, solar water heating, and a 55 kW photovoltaic array convert the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intense sun into free energy. A metal transpired solar wall system provides heating for the public rest rooms, allowing the mechanical system in these spaces to be eliminated. As part of the project, we provided new water and sewer infrastructure upgrades (including design of a new recirculating wastewater system that will treat reclaimed water for reuse in flushing toilets), and reconfigured parking and roads to clarify circulation. The project has received national recognition for its use of concrete masonry and was selected for a 2012 American Architecture award, an international award that honors new and cutting-edge design.

Skymarkers Tucson, Arizona

Derived conceptually from the needles of the giant Saguaro cactus, this design competition winner features steel conical shapes, up to 180â&#x20AC;&#x2122; high and use the economy of off the shelf components - prefabricated utility poles; 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. The southern hemisphere of each needle is coated with thin-film photovoltaics creating thousands of kilowatts to power pumping and lighting. Surplus is delivered to the municipal grid. Water coursing down adjacent streets and natural drainages is harvested for irrigation and distribution by solar powered pumps to gardens and resource awareness exhibits at the base of the Skymarkers. Ground patterns, a product of sun and structure, change with the moment, providing a dynamic component to the continuous wash of protective shade. The night is made remarkable and safe with thousands of solar powered light emitting diodes sharing their lumens from within the structure.

Cesar Chavez Regional Library

Phoenix, Arizona Located adjacent to an existing lake in a public park, the 25,000 sf. LEED Silver library serves 40,000 visitors per month within one of the fastest growing areas of Phoenix, the Village of Laveen. Due to the density of nearby housing, the park is the backyard for the community, and in the same sense, the library is designed to be its living room - an interior place for interaction of families and friends, as well as space for individual family members to “do their own thing.” In addition to numerous state and local awards, this project has been honored with an American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten Award, Library Journal New Landmark Library Award, Crescordia Award for Environmental Excellence, National Concrete Masonry Association LEED Project of the Year, and most recently a 2012 International Sustainable Design Grand Prize from Russia’s Union of Architects and ARD-Center Publishing House.

The Integrated Shade Seat Tucson, Arizona

Our approach to win this competition was to design a prototype for bus waiting areas that could provide daylong shade and comfort during the summer months for a vast variety of locations throughout the city. Each location presented different challenges of solar orientation, visibility, scale, and topography. The new standard curbside bus shelter considers ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; convenience, safety, and access, in context with safe transit operations and traffic flow. It provides shading seating during the day and solar powered lighting at night for safety. Strict requirements for visible lines of sight for shelter users and bus operators are accommodated exceptionally well. Optional elements include bicycle racks, public art, and a drinking fountain. The Integrated Shade Seat, with unlimited configuration possibilities, creates highly visible, safe, and exciting protective shelters for bus riders.

University of Arizona Poetry Center Tucson, Arizona

The University of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poetry Center is a landmark facility where the mission of providing an outstanding research collection and meeting place for visitors, writers and readers of poetry can be fulfilled. The 18,000 sf. Center houses one of the most outstanding collections of contemporary poetry in the nation, and is one of the only library buildings on any university campus solely dedicated to celebrating and advancing poetry and literature. The design allows visitors to experience a progression toward solitude from the busy outdoor gathering spaces to a quiet, contemplation garden. The program includes an entry plaza, outdoor Odeum, meeting rooms, a classroom, administrative offices, collection stacks, controlled rare book storage, archives, and the Garden of Inspiration where one can sit and read or write. To support the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public outreach efforts, flexible presentation space was designed to accommodate up to 300 people in the Humanities Seminar Room, which features a retractable glass wall that can be fully opened (weather permitting). Additional areas for comfortable discourse in both small and large groups are provided throughout the building. Proper building orientation and large expanses of windows shaded by overhangs and sculptural wall planes allow natural light to filter into interior space. Highefficiency task lighting is provided for times when increased lighting levels may be necessary and non-toxic, low-VOC materials and finishes, including concrete masonry, are used to improve indoor air quality. In 2012 the project was honored as a New Landmark Academic Library from a nationwide search by the premier publication Library Journal.

Tucson Linear Parks Project Potty and Shade Ramadas Tucson, Arizona

Along the banks of the Canada del Oro, Pantano, Tanque Verde, Santa Cruz, and Rillito Rivers in Pima County, Arizona, stretch 105 miles of Linear Parks that providing city residents with a neighborhood recreation greenbelt – an oasis along the riverbeds. Under the authority of the Pima County Department of Transportation and Flood Control, the Linear Parks Restrooms and Shade Ramadas are scattered along these arroyos to serve the public. Initial designs were complete in 1989, but due to the multiple phases of the project and the expanse of several river systems, construction of the facilities is ongoing. The design involves a re-evaluation of what a public restroom actually wants to be. As prototypes, they are conceived as facilities that break stereotypical patterns of public restrooms. The solution is both sculptural and modular, lending beauty to the parkscape, while providing a generic “kit of parts,” easily modified to make the facilities site specific. Based upon actual needs rather than preconceived notions, the design addresses issues of function, accessibility, maintenance, contextual/site issues, territoriality, way finding, visual aesthetics, and cultural response. Tucson Linear Park is our contribution toward creating places with the potential to enhance the natural environments within our cities.

TEAM 2

Our design approach can described as multi-disciplinary - as evidenced by the examples of work. Our practice is based on the uniqueness of each project and client - especially children. As parents and designers, we continually strive to create a holistic environment for kids of all ages. Playscapes have become an integral part of our outdoor learning environments - the most successful are comfortable, safe and inspiring. With the use of locally based natural materials, strategic use of color, plants, sound, water and scent, the Wynwood Gateway Park can satisfy the needs of multiple communities at different t hours of the day.

LOTUS SANCTUARY (1998 - 2000) Red Gate Community Garden, Brookyln, NY Materials: Discarded marble, granite, cobble stone, red brick and Blue stone.

The Lotus Sanctuary was designed and built to consecrate the site which was central to the 1964 Liquor Boycott where residents protested against a liquor store from opening on the site which was half a block from a school (PS. 23) and sometime thereafter bulldozed and abandoned. It was only when the lot was reclaimed by the Willoughby Nostrand Block Association in 1994 that new life was breathed into it through the development of the Red Gate Community Garden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Green Thumb Garden.

NOTES

There are three basic principles that are defining our research : antigravity, linear continuity and de-materialisation; we are trying to freeze, to describe that wonderful feeling of movement, the

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ETHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

as a visual/sensual component of space.

In our process of defining urbanity, speed and density we will prefer to approach this project through the relationship between rather than to treat it with any predifined aesthetics ground. Therefore, we can define our design approach here with the strategy of deduction, from general to specific.

We feel this place as an ideal playground to bring external influences,

transform, reconnect and redefine this part of the city.

The project site is characterized by an intertwining of events and movement that we can capture and display space as traces. the invisible space, We will focus collisions between these traces in order to capture the energy, to create a coherent spatial expression.

In this phase of development, our atelier has a variety of work in thematics and scale; we do a lot of experimentation in order to further discover our own architectural expression. Our young team has always been motivated by multiculturalism, by duality of a local response to a global ambition and by the juxtaposition of the future with tradition. We hope that our enthusiasm will meet your expectations, we will be happy to use our energy and bring our ideas for the development of this interesting project.

Landscape spans the divide between nature and culture, and the ideas we wish to pursue in Wynwood are both scientific and poeticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;scientific in showing selfsustainable ecologies in which humans play the role of builders, poetic in inviting people into close relationships with an ever-changing nature. Our divisions have ceased to work and our new intents shaped by the connectivity of systems which ecology has revealed to us is to find the connective tissue between them. The critical change, intellectually and culturally in the performance on landscape for the twenty-first century is the concept of porosity. It applies to the relation of landscape to architecture. It applies to the relation of culture to nature. The work of landscape goes against the edge, beyond the dividing line. Our approach is rooted in coupling design ideas with an understanding of environmental, social and physical needs. By applying inventive design thinking to a careful study of the social aspects of ecological, hydrological and temporal dimensions of projects, we produce places for everyone to use.

WynWood Gateway Park, Community Surrounds and Philosophy of Space: Changed worlds of Man's Project: Contemporary architectural and urban design projects are - unlike past projects era's that emanated in man's world circumstances - are intrinsically hard problems and challenging ones that encompass not only just the architectural spatial give-programmiccontent and the attendant project metrics of the client and/or client bodies therein towards their existence in man's world; but, increasingly, they have come to become complex composite entity of entities in order to facilitate their projected programmic-goal content,blossoming - and living - as an artifact in man's affairs. It does so - well, it ought to - in mutual congruity and reciprocity and grandeure. Simply stated it is an organism co-living, cointeracting and interdepending mutually in some form of reciprocity with its Water Ripples in a Pond cohort system on the whole. In capsule, The affects occurring therein are real and they affect and influence, both, the project itself and its contextuals in tandem but appearing imperceptibly as +ve (s) indeed. It is - quite similar to - a pebble that was thrown in a pond, initiating and causing the cascading ripples that spread and affect the whole pond and the pebble itself indeed. But unlike the pebble and pond scenario, in our evolved contemporary man's world circumstances, the benefits and affect consequences that accrue in project realms are far-reaching indeed. In the current context of the Museum here and its sensitive contextual spaces such as WynWood Community spaces and others are important to think of as well.

WynWood Gateway Park, Community Surrounds and Philosophy of Space: Contd.

In WynWood Gateway Park competition case, it would be most useful to think of them- early on - as the grand assignment of (1). The creative architecturing of the Park in conjunction with the existing Surround Communities here - ought to be viewed- viewing it as grand envisioning effort composed of itself, the park spaces, and (2). considering the whole and contextual cohorts: WynWoodneighborgoods and Miami as extended realm spaces and as co-living ones in as intertwined destinies; and also, (3). importantly here, thinking architecturing as a process in light of its elementals' complex-composites nature partaking and inter-threading and creating and charting new destiny on the Turner: House Portaits whole. (4). The fourth aspect is the most important task among all of them here is The Walters Art Museum the act of the creation of the object-celebre, that is, the WynWood Park itself towards its blossoming into being a stellar Park in the evolving dynamic city of Miami Floeida, U.S.A. In addition, it is also highly important that it does live and co-living as a harmonious Park with its cohort contextuals' life-spaces indeed.Nextly, considering the Park do live in a dual realm, that is, it ought to function, as an Instruemental object-celebre, that is bringing forth to fruition the goal of the park as such therein; as well as living and transforming the built whole into a Transcendental spatial whole that enables, serves as a platform for meeting of minds, philosophies, time spaces, between, say, the park the_object , and the park patron as in the sublime paintings of Turner, or Marcel Duschamp, or Cezzane et al.

Further, it has to be a catalyst in the great elevation and transformation of person(s) to hoist him from his/or her temporality to - transcendentally - to the higher realm of truth, beauty, delight. - in capsule, this performance, elevation of man to the transcendental realm spaces, seems to me be the core act of Park itself. Please note, also that, this transformationals - albit, in varying degree - , invariably, do take place especially in public realm projects as well. In sum, the design of Wynwood Park is a very sensitive and highly value-laden assignment and architecturing and circumscribing of the mult-valent dual realms of the park spacesa is indeed vitally important as well as exciting and challenging one - that we would love to architecture indeed. Towards our interest herein, a brief is presented for your kinfd perusal. That is as follows.

TEAM 7

Design plays an integral role in creating communities that are both sustainable and livable. The future of design and construction requires innovating around the reimagining of salvaged materials, blending of the built environment with the natural environment, integrating existing structures into self-sustaining systems, and semi-permanent design concepts. ! ! Too often the source of inspiration used in our industry as a “reference” is inspired by previous work rather than the creation of unique spaces conceptualized from the raw that respond to a specific demographics, culture and habitat of a community. I am a believer that it is the designer's responsibility to unleash their design in a way that reflects the fabric and integrity of the local community, is mindful of limited resources and long-term sustainability. ! ! Architecture and digital technology will play a vital role in maximizing efficiencies in a world of increasingly scarce natural resources and green space. Ultimately, scarcity will influence the way we live, as well as how we urbanize--low-impact, innovative design provides an opportunity for forward thinking solutions that will engender smarter and more resilient communities for future generations. !

I have been exploring Eps foam (expanded polysryrene) as a more conceptual building material in which the notions of permance and susteinability are challenged and revisited. Along with this explorations my philosophy and architectural practice has expanded tremendously and as a result of this I have possed questions about what a home really means?, What are notions of visual perception? and most importantly how do we as humans inhabit space. As a result of this conceptual approach towards architecture and design the hope is to blur the line between art, life, design and architecture shifting our ways of consumption, apropiation and ownership.

manifesto: We strive to create innovative strategies and provocative environments by observing and understanding the real challenges of each unique design project, focusing on the user organizations. It is our aim to design spaces that incorporate both social interactions as well as sustainability. Social interactions and structural support are challenges faced daily. Thus, it is our goal as designers to contribute to a more effective and cohesive design for housing, communities and cities that coexist in harmony with nature. Future generations will have the ability to be aware of the importance of planning and integrating urban development to environmental conservation practice, as well as having the appropriate knowledge and skillset to maintain these habits. Designs will aim to incorporate aspects including climate, texture and natural resources to become an integral part of the daily lives of people; bringing outcomes of a better quality of life, increased energy efficiency and creating higher standards that new generations aspire to enjoy. Environmental conservation and improving the quality of life through a unified design is an important aspect of our vision as designers. The growing concern of environmental conservation influences our projects by utilizing cues from nature and climate, resulting in sustainable and high performing building designs. These sites act as teaching devices by influencing the way people think and react towards nature and environmental conservation practices. Concurrently, these designs unify communities by enabling them to value these new spaces.

OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe that architecture and thoughtful design is an art that can change lives. It can improve the quality of life within a community and bring out development opportunities. Additionally, when combined with a feel for landscape architecture and the artistic and recreational activities, it can not only bring our community to a greater level of culture and education but it can also serve as a center for artistic development. This offers its residents as well as tourists the opportunity to share and get involved in activities that take advantage of the outdoor spaces filling them with creativity and a vision of the future. It is not only a place to visit, but also to learn and engage with the community. This project was contructed on the site of the Oleta River Park under collaboration of Nathali Anton, Ana Echeverri and Fresnel Hernandez.

We created our team because we felt we could filled in hole that Miami has since its establishment. We are from two Latin countries, Argentina and France and we want to bring a different kind of art â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a design culture that Miami does not know yet. We want to share our vision and emotion with all the people without social class distinction. Design is the answer to our needs of each of us in this planet and our education in this world of creation and making, help us understand the way to do it. Art, Design, Architectureâ&#x20AC;Ś is a language and a way to live and to breathe. Our devotion to this way of life makes us care about making the best creation with the best finishes and detail.
