VILLAGE TECH SCHOOL • CEDAR HILL, TEXAS GRADUATE COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO • SPRING 2017 • GATSKE
This project was a studio design competition, sponsored by the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE), to design a K-12 charter tech school whose curriculum is founded on project based learning and the making of things. A4LE provided the program, site data, and consultants for the studio. My project was selected as the winner based on Creativity, Learning Enhancement Potential, Educational Functionality, Presentation Quality and Sustainability. Project Goals: • Design an urban campus on a suburban site • Design based on 21st Century Schools Process: Since the there was no existing context to work with, I used a golden mean grid system as the organizational concept. The spiral of the golden section designates major gathering spaces across the site. The entire plan is made up of large and small spaces designed hierarchically to create the idea of a village.

RADICAL DALLAS • DALLAS, TEXAS GRADUATE STUDIO • FALL 2016 • NASON
This project was an extreme urban proposal for Dallas, focused particulary around Klyde Warren Park and Museum Tower. The studio consisted of intense site analysis and diagrams, followed by the development of a radical urban intervention based on the analysis done on the site.
Proposal: • Remove all vehicular transporation Downtown • Extreme “Greening” of Downtown • Urban Canopy over “Pedestrian-ways” • Infill highways with garden/park/programmed space • Give first floor of every building back to the public
My analysis of Downtown Dallas found that the city is not pedestrian friendly. Downtown is one large heat island, the buildings are not designed to be appealing to pedestrians, the sidewalks are too small, the streets are too large, there are not enough bike lanes, etc. Using the information gathered, I developed my proposal as a case study on the Museum Tower site.

PUBLIC SPACE AT KLYDE WARREN PARK CAN BE REDEFINED BY IMPLEMENTING GREEN SPACE AND SHADING MECHANISMS TO CREATE A COOLER MICROCLIMATE AT THE PEDESTRIAN LEVEL. GREEN SPACE WILL ALSO WORK AS A WAY TO INTEGRATE THE PUBLIC REALM WITH THE EXISTING PRIVATE REALM.THESE IMPLEMENTATIONS WILL CREATE A SMALLER SCALE ENVIRONMENT AND COOL DOWN THE PUBLIC STREETS FOR PEDESTRIANS, MAKING THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE MORE ENJOYABLE AROUND DOWNTOWN DALLAS, SPECIFICALLY KLYDE WARREN PARK.

URBAN INTERVENTION • DHAKA, BANGLADESH GRADUATE STUDIO • FALL 2015 • TABASSUM/MUNOZ
This project is an Urban Design Intervention of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was designed for a first semester Graduate Studio. The Urban Intervention is located around one of the only green areas in downtown Bangladesh. In the design, the proposal is to wrap the park with wall buildings to add density to the site. This should allow for a more walkable site. The North West side of the park is known as the cultural district. Located here are the Dhaka National Museum, The Dhaka Art Institute, the Dhaka Libraries, and a Dhaka college campus. The building that is proposed for this site is a Bengali Cultural Center. The buildings around this cultural center are lifted onto pilotis to allow integration into the park.

ITALIAN CINEMA • PIENZA, ITALY UNDERGRADUATE STUDIO • SUMMER 2013 • MACDONALD
The following project took place during a senior studio over the summer which was included with a Study Abroad in Italy. The program for this project was an Italian Cinema which included a small film school. The project site was left to each individual student to select based on research from a month abroad in Italy. The site was visited and information was recorded personally. The site for the cinema is located in Pienza, Italy in Piazza Piccolomini II. It was chosen because of the incomplete design of the piazza left by Bernardo Rosselino. It was designed with respect to the existing context, with careful decision making to prevent destroying the site’s history. The design process began with strategic diagrams of the site analyzing the history, program of the surrounding context, section, plan, datums, and the Urban Design Strategies mentioned in the previous project. The Italian Cinema includes a redesigned piazza on the east side of the building with an outdoor theater, 4 interior theaters, lobby, gallery, projection rooms, a marquee, and an institute for the study of films.

CAP(c)s UNDERGRADUATE STUDIO â&#x20AC;˘ FALL 2014 â&#x20AC;˘ BELL
This semester-long project focused on research and development of an innovative structural system. The focus of this project was an anisotropic responsive shell structure designed via masonry building techniques. The first step of this project was to develop an intelligent Grasshopper 3D model that allowed for maximum panel variety and overall variety in the form. The group began testing on a simple cycloid vault to introduce minimal panel changes. The idea was to be able to produce a maximum amount of panels with a minimum set of molds. The mold for this vault was created using 3D prints of the panels to form a polyurethane mold that would be used to cast hydrostone panels. Polyurethane inserts were used to create the apertures in the center. The apertures were set to 25%, 50%, and 75%. They were removable in case the panels needed to be solid. The first test did not offer adjustable variable thickness. The following test introduces this method. Test two introduced an increase in scale, adjustable thickness, and concrete. The panels produced were approximately 1ft X 1ft with thicknesses ranging between 3in and 5in. The group created a mold that could produce a variety of panels using the configured mold on the left. This mold was used to cast concrete panels of varying sizes with varying aperture openings in the center. Inserts were used for varying thicknesses and aperture sizes. I worked in a group that included two other students to develop this sytem using Rhinocerous 3D, Grasshopper 3D, and various plugins.

AUDOBAN BIRD WATCHING TOWER UNDERGRADUATE BIM â&#x20AC;˘ FALL 2014 â&#x20AC;˘ MUNOZ
The Dallas Audubon Tower stands 7 stories tall at a height of 100 ft. The proposed location is in the center of the site atop the hightest point. As the visitors ascend the tower on the centrally located spiral stair, the floor plates rotate around the axis, allowing extending views in every direction. The tower is designed as a steel space-frame sculpture with concrete slabs and copper finishes. Viewing binoculars are located on every floor to allow visitors to see across the entire site.
