ARC 451a (design), ARC451b (build), ARC499 (independent study / build) 1040 N. Olive Rd. Tucson, AZ Lightweight gridshell structure and landscape extension Studio Pangolin work spanning all three semesters including: design, design drawings, permit set, shop drawings, and on-site build

narrative: This project is an initiative to re-conceive the main entrance of CAPLA west [college of architecture, planning, and landscape architecture] at the University of Arizona. It is being delivered over the course of three semesters through by a combined undergraduate and masters design build studio working with a stakeholder team consisting of members from CAPLA, the University of Arizona, the city of Tucson as well as international academic groups. The project includes an integrated urban landscape as well as a gridshell shade pavilion funded by an international multiuniversity research grant sponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The S-CAPE aims to reclaim function, beauty, and valuable space from a site that is a forgotten artifact from construction of the olive road underpass many decades ago. Through engagement with our stakeholders, we defined four primary goals to evaluate our success by: NEXUS (create a destination and gathering space), SCAPE (develop a context-based solution), WALK-THE-WALK (express the sustainable values of our college and university), and COMFORT (humanize the forgotten and arid west-facing landscape).

UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST DESERT CAMPUS

UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST Desert Campus course location type recognition

ARC 302 - Land Ethics Oro Valley: Tucson. AZ Unitarian Universalist Church AIA SA Design Excellence - 2nd Place Overall Archon Prize - 5th Place

narrative The Unitarian Universalist Campus creates a harmonious place of community and worship by blending through interaction with its beautiful desert environment. The campus is situated in two easily accessible elevations which allow the desert environment to flow into the site. The architecture cultivates an awareness of natural phenomenon; broken enclosures and extending rooftops introduce porosity by significantly opening to the exterior and provide plentiful shade for the community. Cascading clerestory windows highlight views of the surrounding mountains and create soft diffused light that changes with the seasons. The campus seeks to honor and cultivate the Unitarian Universalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reverence for the earth as a part of our interdependent web of existence.

ARC 322 - Structures 2 San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area: Benson, AZ Wooden Bird Watching Structure Patrick Ceguera, Alex Mayer + Amanda Schwarz

narrative: Situated in along the San Pedro River, the bird watching tower rises among tall cottonwoods. Conceptually, the structure creates a continuous “ribbon”. The main ribbon of wooden decking by a core structure of thick wooden column members spanning all three stories. The continuous decking turns vertically to become louver shading, allowing views out. Stairs act as breaks from the form of the ribbon, giving the effect that they are cut away and folded down. The guardrails for the stairs act as lateral stability in the form of shear planes. shading

The first floor is open to the west, while the second floor is open to the east; providing different view experiences. The tower always has views to the north and south.

water drainage

The floor / roof extends and turns a corner down to become a series of louvers to provide shading on the east for the first floor and west on the second floor.

The roof has a subtle 2% slope towards the riverbed, allowing water to drain to the line of cottonwood trees that border the riverbed.

One Way Span course: ARC 322 - Structures 2 type: Steel structure built to withstand point load collaborators: Alex Mayer + Amanda Schwarz narrative: The given project is meant to resist an increasing load from a pneumatic foot. The structure must only rest on two areas of the platform, spanning one way. The structure developed over three iterations, beginning with a series of simple arches and evolving into a hybrid arch-truss system. The primary member displays economy of material by increasing it’s effective depth through use of truss webbing. The arch, loaded by two concentrated loads, generates flexure, unlike an ideal arch. The truss responds to these flexural stresses by distributing tension and compression through stress-specific cross sections more evenly across the arch. Depth is added in each arch member by creating two additional arches above as part of the truss. This allows the system to perform like a wide flange. These members also provide lateral stability to each compound arch-truss. The system held over 5500 lbs before failure.

CAMPUS LIBRARY + COLLABORATION CENTER

Campus Library + Collaboration Center course: location: type: recognition:

ARC 401 - Comprehensive Systems University of Arizona: Tucson. AZ Library // Workspace AIA SA Design Excellence Nominee AIA Student Projects Competition - 2nd place

narrative: The Center for Information and Collaboration serves as a hub for all disciplines across the University of Arizona campus. The immediate goal was to create a transparency that would visually connect the center to the rest of the university. This was accomplished by situating the building along the shorter east to west axis, which provides natural daylight to the long north and south sides of the building while blocking the harsh morning and evening light. Louvers on the south facade prevent direct light from penetrating the building during hot months. A large skylight with diffusers hovers over the suspended library and introduces soft even light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallwaysâ&#x20AC;? around the suspended library serve as open work areas for individuals as well as groups. Spaces within this linear arrangement were then shifted in order to create new zones that distinguish themselves from general flexible areas. This act of shifting also creates inhabitable exterior areas. A raised green roof, cafe, and additional all-hour work studios stretch along the north side in order to foster collaboration in alternate environments.

CORKTOWN SQUARE course: ARC 452 - Capstone location: Corktown, Detroit, MI type: town square / community center narrative: When people hear the word Detroit, most picture the abandonment and decay left from widespread economy collapse. While these images are not falsified, there is another image of Detroit that isn’t often seen: that of the thriving community working to better its city. The people of Detroit have risen to meet the challenges of their city by banding together. Activists, artists and non-profits work to draw attention to and generate solutions for problems. The project site is the location of the demolished Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Detroit. The 9.5 acre site is situated along 6-lane PUBLIC SPACEwide Michigan Avenue, which is now known for its hip bars and restaurants. To the south, across this street, are the residences of Corktown- people defined by their youth and creativity. Currently, there are no prominent gathering areas guiding the community. Temporary events are held in various locations—such as small farmer’s markets at Detroit Bagel CREATE DEMONSTRATE meetings PERFORM Institute orGATHER Corktown Community at rental spaces or local bars. This is in sharp contrast to cities which are organized around central open space. $

That begs the question: can the field be used as a central organizer—the town square? CIVITAS
