0 The Austin Waldorf School is a private school located in Southwest Austin. The school contacted the studio to design possible future developments as well as a new school master plan. The above graphic shows some of the strengths and weaknesses observed on the campus. The campus has a unique wooded environment and had organically developed
over time. The new master plan focuses on clustering buildings to create smaller campuses for the differing grade levels and activities while keeping with some of the organic nature already present. To create a more pedestrian and kid friendly environment, the parking and vehicle traffic were moved to the edge of campus.
The master plan of the campus was designed to create smaller hearts for each grade level as well as an activity heart. The section of campus my partner and I chose to further develop was a new arts center. This new section of campus would transform the existing theater building into a fine arts center and add a new theater building that would be more adequate for the needs and size of the school.

Fine Arts Center Section The existing theater building did not adequately satisfy the needs of the Austin Waldorf School. We transformed the existing building into a new much needed fine arts center and proposed a new theater building. The design of the new fine arts center facilitates an environment that would inspire creativity and exploration. The art classrooms are arranged
and interlocked in ways that form gathering and breakout spaces in between. The two levels and classroom pods create a village inside the larger shell. The fine arts center fosters an interactive and creative environment through shared gallery and break out spaces, views connecting classrooms, and a break from the other architecture found throughout campus. 9

Mixed-Use Apartment Building Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico Advanced Design Professor: Monica Rivera

SITE PLAN 1/32� = 1’ - 0�
The proposed apartment building is located along the edge of a large park in San Juan. The public park is mostly surrounded by single family residences and a train station in the northeast corner. The proposed apartment building would serve as a piece of a larger housing development 16
that will bring a higher density to the area and activate the underdeveloped park. The ground level of the apartment building serves as commercial space to activate the street level. Parking is available in the back along a shared residential service street keeping the front pedestrian friendly.
The first exercise carried out was one that analyzed entry. The relationship between planes, openings, and screens was explored to create an ideal method of entry into an apartment unit. Since the climate of San Juan is extremely hot and humid, methods of cross ventilation in an open
air unit were important in the entry design. The screening elements and entry serve as ways to create socialization as well as provide privacy while aiding in the climate control of the unit. 17
The second exercise focused solely on an individual unit. Relationships between spaces, screens and furniture were explored through a variety of mediums. Once key principles of unit and space organization were established they were applied to the cluster of units which would then form an entire residential floor. The key principles found throughout the building’s units include a central open living plan that allows light to penetrate the unit from entry to outdoor living space. Each unit has a kitchen adjacent to the living area facing the exterior hallway and entry. The kitchens serve as a way to activate the hallway and provide views out to the community and park. Outdoor living is essential in Puerto Rican culture so each unit has access to a private outdoor balcony space that opens up to the main living area.

Art & Architecture Library Location: St. Edward’s University, Austin, Texas Advanced Design Professor: Michael Benedikt
The proposed art and architecture library is located in front of the existing arts building. The library would hold a collection of art and architecture materials as well as provide study space for students. The building is made up of 22
three main parts including a gallery for art and architecture models, student study spaces accompanied by a collection of reading materials, and service space. The ground level has a cafe to serve this area of campus.

The main library and study space features a large atrium that brings in natural light and connects views to the various floors of the building. The top two floors feature individual study areas while the second floor provides group study rooms. The ground floor has a large lobby space where models and installations can be displayed. 24

Luminaire Environmental Controls Class Professor: Keith Simon In Collaboration with: Raquel Royal, Jake Chavez, Kent Bhupathi
Existing Conditions
Existing Conditions Diagram The luminaire was designed as a lighting fixture for outdoor umbrellas. The area that gave inspiration to the fixture is a food truck court near the University of Texas campus. The area was poorly lit and uninviting to patrons of the local food trucks. The lighting device creates hierarchy in the space encouraging patrons to gather in specific areas, improves the eating experience by providing ample light to see one’s food, in addition to creating a more secure feeling in the food court overall.

SECTION
The luminaire utilizes a tiered design to disperse light up and outward. Most of the light is directed upward illuminating the umbrella it is installed upon. The bottom of the fixture is translucent, allowing a softer light to filter through towards the table or space underneath. The tiers allow light to escape the sides, highlighting the device and providing an aesthetic appeal that most devices currently on the market lack. The design allows for installation on any standard outdoor umbrella pole. To install the fixture, the user slips the umbrella pole through the central hole and hooks the transparent hanging line through the umbrella ribs. The fixture height can be adjusted along the pole using the various length loops in the hanging line to provide the desired lighting effect. In addition, the luminaire has two brightness settings. The overall design is to provide an easily installed umbrella light that not only effectively lights the intended space, but provides a pleasant environment for eating and gathering. 29

Amtrak Train Station Location: Downtown Austin, Texas Design VI Professor: Michael Hargins
RANGE RANGE

The existing Amtrak train station, located on South Lamar close to Downtown, has the potential to be a major urban hub. The design of the project focuses on creating a vibrant area for retail and events to draw non-passengers to the site, in addition to celebrating the station itself. Drawing attention to the underutilized mode of rail transportation in Austin and Texas as a whole was a goal in the project design. The elevated, open air waiting platform allows for views to Lady Bird Lake and South Austin as well as the passing trains and activity below. The retail and green space tier down to street level where a new bus stop would be established to allow for easy access to the city transportation system. In addition to traveling to and from the site via public transportation, there is an underground parking garage accessible from West 3rd Street.
Ground Plan

35
The main structural systems utilized in the station design are concrete structural cores and steel trusses. The exposed trusses serve as structure as well as part of the station aesthetic. Panels, glass, and members are inserted between truss members to partially enclose the viewing platform allowing air flow and views out. 37
