MSI Dune Pavilion Port aransas, texas Sited adjacent to The University of Texas’ Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas, Texas, this 600 square foot structure serves as a temporary gathering place and portal for a Texas dune ecology education program. The pavilion provides shaded seating for 12 and ADA access from an existing elevated walkway to a section of natural dune. Construction of a path system through the dunes will follow. In addition to shade and access, the structure was designed to poetically reenforce features of the dune including light, color, and an essential palate of grasses. Simple geometries frame and re-present site complexities that may otherwise remain hidden. The conception and execution of this structure has emerged from a shared belief that geometry ties people to nature in a profound way.

The MIS dune pavilion was designed and built collaborativly by a team of nine Architecture and Landscape Architecture students. Round table sketches and discussions lead to mock ups, which lead to a full digital model and scripted construction process. Working with a small budget of $8,000 (excluding labor), we prefabricated panels in Austin, and subsequently constructed the pavilion over the course of 12 days in Port Aransas.

Often registering a 9 (of 10) on the UV index, South Texas sun can be harsh. Accordingly, shade is this pavilion’s primary indicator of comfort. We used SketchUp to test the shade that would be provided by a slotted, southern yellow pine screen, reinforced by an opaque aluminium roof. This modeling process enabled us to determine the size and spacing of the screen necessary to provide adequate shade.

Preliminary site studies including analysis of the surrounding dunes (far left) and an inventory of site vegetation (scans, left) led to a understanding that the site’s beauty lies within it’s variability. This lead to a series of collaborativly referenced and refined plans and sections (above left), which we used to order materials and to develop necessary shop drawings.

Sulphur Dell nashville, tennessee Nashville is growing, and wants to grow smartly. Sulphur Dell, a low-lying neighborhood Northwest of Nashville’s capital complex welcomes this growth with a suite of flexible programming and infrastructure. Inspired by Nashville Sounds baseball and great American past times, the Dell is a place for American traditions. Sports on the lawn, outdoor cooking, new business, and spending time with neighbors make the Dell Nashville’s backyard. This design for Sulphur Dell was a 2014 entry into the Urban Land Institute’s Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition. I was one of five designers on the team, comprised of two Architecture undergraduate students, one Urban Planning student, an MBA, and myself. The work was collaborative. The drawings I am presenting were finished by me.

In order to identify and address Nashville’s vision for the dell, I developed and branded three design objectives that became drivers for our team’s decisions. The site was to become a Woodland, a Workout, and a Workshop. The Woodland takes the form of pedestrian-only blue streets, which serve social and ecological interests, becoming centers for gathering, movement, and habitat creation, as well as visible stormwater infrastructure for the area.

Workshopping is embodied in flexible gathering spaces called spillways. Working Out is addressed with enhanced pedestrian opportunities, access to bike stations, access to fresh food, as well as access to outdoor gyms and community kitchen spaces. More diverse programming such as watersports, outdoor kitchens for picnicking, and concert space can be found at a new, large riverfront park named “Spillway Park� (see right) for its terraced ability to accommodate both flooding and crowded public events.

Markings bastroP, teXas In death, we become substance; carbon, nitrogen: substance of the land. This cemetery returns that substance to the land. Disposition practices that re-integrate body and bone in to biogeochemical cycles amplify regrowth and regeneration following a devastating wildfire in the Bastrop Lost Pines ecoregion of Texas. Markings are strong field conditions that fill the more traditional role of “marker� in burial practice. Atmosphere is privileged over artifice as a means by which the dead are marked. Markings is about marking with place, and the character of a biophysical landscape amplified by the dead. This of view death and disposition situates itself within a growing movement away from chemical embalming and towards the cemetery as exurban green infrastructure for the Texas Triangle megaregion. 2013 UTSOA Design Excellence Winner, with Yinrui Li

Markings is a series of actions that generate changing place. Initial actions focus on regrowth, middle phases develop and sustain relationships between disposition practices and forest management. Later phases transition â&#x20AC;&#x153;regrowthâ&#x20AC;? infrastructure to recreation opportunities or nurseries that support a growing need for urban trees. The drawing you see above (detail at left), shows the action, duration, and location of each process that make this cemetery a palace.

This disposition practice pairs natural burial with the planting of a pine sapling. The milled wooden marker serves a tree stake and is later used to fertilize the tree. Walks through the field over time are opportunities to observe change and remember the deceased.

Grates as temporary path infrastructure allow access to a recently burned plot for 1 year following a burn, then the path is disassembled and moved.

Air Station youngstown, ohio Set at the transition point between a newly constructed subterranean parking facility and an existing under utilized urban plaza, Air Station is a place to relax and recharge. The project is inspired by a history of greenhouses and capitalized on contemporary affinities for wellness (and coffee). Air Station is a garden that employs a vegetation and hydraulic palate meant to soothe, inspire, and provide reprieve from the harsh winters and polluted atmosphere of an industrial city. Revenue from the new parking facility, which was sited at an existing surface parking lot right downtown, will be used to maintain the garden.

Mist AUSTIN, texas
kimberly r harding +1 908.500.9111 kimberlyrossharding@gmail
A 3 part design intervention along Austin’s Ladybird Lake. The project locates and develops a sailing program (float), a cooling station (mist), and a multi-generational playground (play). The design responds to multi-scaled analysis of the site and is consequently inspired by Austin’s underlying karst limestone. The karst “cutouts” capitalize on a similarity between the program’s call to gather and the pooling shapes that define Austin’s geomorphology. These cutouts become a consistent language for how Austin recreates with its waterline and continue the city’s relationship with it’s karst cultural darlings such as Barton Springs.

Images above show detail study model. Hand-drilled perforated balsa wood was used to represent perforated concrete slabs, which would house misting infrastructure. Sketch showing spacing and location of mist nozzles seen at right. Beeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wax and small pieces of limestone are used to represent karst gabion baskets, implemented to provide bank stabilization for the new construction, as well as waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge habitat for lake fauna.

Performance Grounds marfa, teXas Marfa is a small, artistic, railroad town located 5,000 feet above sea level in the Trans Pecos mountain ranges of West Texas. The design proposes â&#x20AC;&#x153;crackâ&#x20AC;? as an operation by which a centrally located, flat, rectangular site is cracked in order to define spaces for resting, gliding, and framing. Recursive cracking is used to impart a self-similar sense of the larger whole, as the design is inspired by cracks in weathered desert rock, and movement along ecological and cultural corridors (or cracks) akin to the rail line that generated the town.
