Analysis of the Lovell Beach House
This assignment is a case study of Rudolf M. Schindler’s Lovell Beach house. This is the initial assignment given in Studio one. The intent of the project was to create to scale architectural drawings of the precedent . Examine drawing principles and standards
and
to understand orthographic drawing and line weight. The study examines different formal characteristics and breaks them down in axonmetric diagrams.
Ideas such as structure, skin, circulation, pri-
vate space, and public space are all explored in these diagrams.

Film Studio
This project is a film studio, design through a process facilitated by the studio instructor. The process started with the analysis of a 15 second film clip. From the analysis of movement in the clip, diagrams were created using a grid and canson paper. These diagrams were refined several times and then transposed into 3 dimensional study models. When a final model was reached a program was then given and the model was redesigned to accommodate the program. The end result is a film studio designed for a conceptual site. This project was very process driven , and focused on formal communications such as solid, void, precincts, zone, regulation, repetition and many others.

Residence
This assignment a program was given along with a site and students were asked to design a residence..
The site is narrow and
long providing some design challenges, The residence is designed in a U shape providing a courtyard space for interaction with the outdoors. Transparency between indoor and out door spaces is provided by a glazed circulation corridor. Also complex spacial relationships are created by hanging a sleeping space over the living area.

Tractor Poster Competition
Posters designed for Antique Tractor and Engine Show in Lubbock , TX. This project was used as a warm up project that related to the final project for studio three, a new American Museum of Agriculture. Each poster focused in a different concept text based , image based, and text image balance. The posters allowed the studio to meet our client and learn about a major event that would take place at our projects future location,

Implement Documentation During studio three each student was given a farm implement to study, document, draw, and analyze. This is the documentation of the 1914 Moline Universal Tractor, During the analysis a to scale drawing was produced as well as some interesting conceptual concepts, During this time men creating tractors still thought of the machines as horses, Attaching implements to the rear of them and farming just as the always had. The concept of adjustment through movement came out of this analysis and was carried on into the design of the Agriculture Museum.

Agriculture Museum
The American Museum of Agriculture was designed using a program provided by the curators of the existing museum with a few adjustment for new exhibits.
The building was design first using
study models then, moving in to section. The final design’s structure is a repetitive bay using a series of steel trusses supported by steel columns.
The concept if movement developed in the previ-
ous analysis manifests itself in the new design as a retractable roof and wall system that expands exhibition space for traveling exhibits,

West Texas Sculptural Center
The West Texas Sculptural center is located in Lubbock, Texas in a park like area with several topographic challenges. The project was carried out by myself and a team of other students, including two landscape architecture students and three interior design students.
The
main
goal of the design was to create a series of exhibit bays that responded to topographic conditions, and are integrated in to a landscaped area. Giving the user multiple avenues to experience the sculpture center.
