I propose a simple building volume, raised above the existing site topography, to compliment the surrounding environment and juxtapose to the horizon line.

Structural System A structural bridge spans two floors above the topography. A series of 2 story-high steel mega trusses surrounds the interior void. The mega truss spans between the 6 dispersed concrete cores to form a table top. The entry level is hung from the truss box. The concrete cores house the vertical circulation and mechanical distribution and serves as the primary gravity and lateral load.

Clovis Fine Arts Center Theater Restoration
The Lyceum Fine Arts Center’s aim is to bring a collection of Clovis’s fine Arts into one venue. It will be the summation of music, art, and performance. The center will be in collaboration with CCCFine Arts Program, Main Street Theater District, Clovis Public Library, and Norman Petty Rock and Roll Museum. It will be owned and operated by the City of Clovis. Each architecture student will be assigned a theater, and each landscape architecture student will be responsible for the
streetscape in the ‘theater district.’ You will be assembled in ‘presentation cohorts.’ The members of each cohort will present their work together. You are not required to, but are encouraged to, coordinate your (re)designs. Each architecture student is required to present proposals for the redesign and/or restoration of their theater. The theater designs should robustly respond to the expressed interests of the citizens of Clovis, aim to improve the economic and social viability of the theater, and aim to improve the sustainability of the building and its operation.

SOLAR HOMES ADAPTING FOR DESSERT EQUILIBRIUM
The aSUNm was selected as one of the collegiate teams for the 2012 Solar Decathlon and is a collaborative eort between engineering, architecture, and construction students at ASU and UNM. Team aSUNm focuses on building materials and energy systems that are appropriate for the desert southwest - a part of the country expected to see continued population growth over the coming decades. As a team across the vibrant Southwest our aim is to build a
campaign, highlighted by an inviting residence, to educate our communities on and stimulate a new direction for aordable, adaptable, solar-powered homes that root themselves in our suburban landscape, fostering sustainable growth of both family and ecosystem. We take inspiration from the mighty saguaro cactus, a plant which has evolved highly specialized mechanisms for life in the desert. Like the saguaro, we are developing with minimal resources, conserving water and energy, adapting size and function to meet needs, adjusting to drastic seasonal temperatures swings, and reducing impact on the immediate environment.
Using a kit of parts methodology provides sustainable opportunities for existing homes to be updated to improve eďŹƒciency and economy. This kit of parts includes a mechanical/plumbing core, solar canopy, and vertical shading panel.
CHAMELEON DIGITAL MEMBRANE
This project is an architectural representation of the digital world of human interaction. The form is derived from the idea of how the internet is abstract and only begins to take shape and deciphered by its users. This project is an architectural representation of the digital world of human interaction. Society has developed an alter ego by having access to the Internet at any given time or location. Lap tops, cell phones, and tablets allow people to view and
share information at the convenience of their own homes. Society is losing personal interactions with one another. Projector Share allows people to access and view the Internet on their hand held devices in a social environment. The form is derived from the idea of how the internet is abstract and only begins to take shape and deciphered by its users.

WAREHOUSE 508 Public Youth Space
Warehouse 508 is a youth based public program that was founded on the principle of providing a venue for the youth of the city to gain exposure to larger networks of activities in the arts, music, and sports. The aim of this project is a new facility for Warehouse 508 that addresses and furthers their mission in the multicultural city and community of Albuquerque. The design proposal is to move beyond the basics of architectural form making to become a responsive entity able to meet
the need of the occupant as well as the city dweller: activating design sequences of events and encounters that substantiate the essence and nature of our social interactions and relations. Warehouse 508 is a cumulative intervention into the nature of city and place through architecture that is responsive to its program and environment. Like the diversity of the city, Warehouse 508 reflects on flexibility and interchangeability by stressing the importance of multipurpose space in the urban context.

The flex box, located on the first floor, is the heart of the project. Its openness and flexibility mimics the intent and diversity of the urban culture. The flex box absorbs the city as well as expands into it allowing interaction with its environment.

The program for this project functions with the conceptual premise of reintroducing dormitories and utilitarian structures back into desolate landscapes such as the desert environment of the Very Large Array (VLA) site in Southern New Mexico. This project is a continuation of previous projects and a final analysis of the research and analysis conducted since the beginning of the semester. It allows for a redefinition of the parameters and framework of the
existing architecture at the VLA. The processes of the project focused on location, scale, approach and transition/threshold. A main issue addressed is the juxtaposition of daily rituals of dwelling with the complex technological functions of the VLA. This reimagining of the VLA tests the ability of architecture to establish daily habits and to fuel coincidental findings. The space encourages social interactions as well as creating a space for solitude.

The premise of the design is based o the idea of programmatic cohesion: mixing dwelling with research. Having a continuous rhythm of circulation allows programmatic spaces to be partitioned and altered to specific functions.
