This thesis is about experimenting the tectonic union and interaction between membrane surfaces with dynamic mechanical architecture. My investigation will emphasize how these diametrically opposed entities can be combined to create a new architecture that adapts to external stimuli. This responds to the fact that these two worlds belong to different order of tectonics and their fusion in large architectural ap-

The 1959 Cuban Revolution provided the Cubans with a brief moment of utopian optimism and architects with the freedom of creating the most radical and hopeful designs for the development and redesign of the country. It is in those early days from 1959 to 1964 where the dreams for a new and better society give birth to the Cuban National Schools of Art. Cuban architect Ricardo Porro and Italian architects Roberto Gottardi and Vittorio Garatti were commissioned to design and develop the (ENA) Escuela
Nacional de Arte university complex on the historically Habana Country Club site with the mission of FUHDWLQJ &XED V ÀUVW XSSHU education comprehensive program for the studies of music, dramatic arts, plastic arts, contemporary dance, and ballet.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS
Our vision for the new facility for the Milwaukee Bucks is not only as a state-of-the-art venue, but also as a great civic space for the city of Milwaukee.

Replacing a relic of a bygone era, the new facility will improve the
marketability of Milwaukee as a premiere destination on the concert circuit and will also serve as the destination for Milwaukee’s social nightlife during non-event times.
This material, visible throughout Milwaukee, appears in a series of sequential arches that frame the entrances while giving an overall structural form to the arena. The warm color of the brick and distinctive shape provides a tangible reference point and welcoming appearance, while also giving a scale to the venue. These are a distinctive feature of Milwaukee breweries and provide a conceptual basis for the bowl enclosure. The copper ‘kettle’ has been

All of the internal elements of the arena are linked to the neighborhood through large windows facing north, south, and east. These expanses of glass bring in daylight to help warm the venue in colder months and link to the historic brewery and factory windows of the city of Milwaukee. In summer months, these glazed façades can be opened to provide a direct extension to outdoor events in the urban plaza.

The cultural and historical fabric that makes up the city of Wuhan is rich and diverse.

An abundant material in the region with a strong history, from its use as paper, food and building materials, there is even a sculpture in Wuhan that commemorates the use of bamboo beds for people to sleep outside during the scorching summer nights. But bamboo also has a
strong metaphorical position in Chinese culture. Bambooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long life makes it a Chinese symbol of being upright. People endow bamboo with the characteristics of integrity, elegance and plainness, Ancient Chinese poets wrote countless poems to praise bamboo, metaphors used to describe people who were like bamboo and they expressed their understanding of what a real gentleman should be like.

HUDSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
The HCR Speedway is a symbol of the New Detroit, a vibrant metropolis that is aware of its great history, but ready to transform and prosper in the information age. My inspiration for the HCR Speedway comes from automobile racing, a sport tradition that is integral to the history of the American automobile, and continues to push the limits of technology and human skill. To me,
the automobile race represents tenacity and dynamism, charDFWHULVWLFV SHUVRQLĂ&#x20AC;HG by the people of Detroit as they work towards rebuilding their city. By transforming the schemes for four types of motorsport tracks- NASCAR, IndyTrack, drift track and drag strip- -we have created program loops that windaround the perimeter of the site.

With the green premise growing in popularity across the globe, more and more people are turning to cargo container structures for green alternatives. There are countless numbers of empty, unused shipping containers around WKH ZRUOG MXVW VLWWLQJ RQ shipping docks taking up space. The reason for this is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too expensive for a country to ship empty containers back to their origin.

EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTEEN
Eight Thousand Two Hundred Fifteen is a proposal for an entrance plaza and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play area for Zoo Miami and Miami-Dade Art in Public Places. Emerging from the uncontrollability of hydrology and urbanism, the 80,000 ft2 paving system is comprised of thousands of pre-cast and cast-inplace concrete surfaces that mutate from hori-

the precarious position of the zoo in relation to the imaginary, natural environment it constructs.
