HOBO HABITAT / VINTON STREET HOTEL Brookings, SD My Hotel studio began by designing a mobile trailer for an oil worker in North Dakota. Designing the trailer answered questions of how mobile dwelling is related to notions of home, place, need vs. lesiure, and urbanism. My trailer solved the oil workers needs for a place to live, and a place for leisure during his off weeks. The trailer acts as a hunting blind that can be stuffed with different camouflage. The back door drops down as well as the wheels and axle to convert into an ice shack. The sliding cage on top then covers the back door to create the cover while fishing.

VINTON STREET HOTEL FALL 2014
Turbak 5 The site for our hotel design is located on Vinton Street in the historical district of Omaha Nebraska. Vinton Street and the surrounding area has a clashing of cultures that creates a rich social, cultural, and economic heritage. The Street is known for its’ music and art festivals that make it an active pedestrian area. For this reason, I designed a hotel with a public green roof that created seating for the music events that would happen on the stage located between the two hills.

In this vertical studio, the class was given a site on the South Dakota State University Campus to design a women’s soccer stadium that could hold a maximum of 5,000 people. The design of the stadium was to incorporate a landscape that worked with the stadium, as well as the surrounding campus. In my design, the stadium was enclosed on two sides creating an edge on the campus green. The green roof of the stadium acted as a bridge connecting the back of the library to the opposite side of the stadium. The ground was built up on the two ends of the stadium, to create a continuous hill/ big landscape.

Enclosure models were made in order to define what enclosure meant to us, as well as to see the relationship between the ground and our enclosure. Site Plan models were made in order for each of us to study the effects that the stadium would have on the surrounding campus.

Final models were made to fit into the site proper. They were to show the overall building layout as well as how the building interacts with the landscape. Section models were also made to show structure and movement in the stadium.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION :DIGITIZING PHYSICAL MODELS Building shop III included a group project, seen on this page, as well as an individual project on the next page. We explored the implications of constructing images in the built physical model of the Corderie Building in Venice, Italy. Each member selected a 30 second clip of a chosen video that was then projected into the Corderie Model. A camera rig was built to move through the model to record the projected videos.

DAKOTA PRAIRIE MUSEUM Aberdeen, SD This proposed project was an addition to the existing Dakota Prairie Museum which is located in downtown Aberden. It was to include a childrens museum, ice rink, and farmers market. In 5 weeks, 24 massing models and section drawings based on mediation, composition, compliment, and palimpsest were completed.

TELFAIR WORKSHOP AND GALLERY
Savannah, GA This vertical project was on an infill site located near Telfair Square. The designed building was to have these programs: arcade, reading room, gallery & book shop, book restoration workshop, offices, photography lab, public stair, and the building core. The site was 30 feet wide by 90 feet long. Three open vertical spaces that connected the top floors to the arcade below drove the project. The programs are connected by the public stair and wrapped around the vertical spaces.

SDSU DoArch Brian T. Rex, Associate Professor and Head SHH 300 Box 2220 Brookings, SD 57007
Dear DoArch, This letter is to inform you of my interest in the Masters of Architecture Program at South Dakota State University. The last four years studying architecture at South Dakota State University, including a study abroad at the University of Prague, has given me a deeper appreciation of architecture. Previous to my studies here, I was interested in buildings in their built form, but I wasn't aware of how the building actually worked. I have come to be more attentive now when moving through a building, even to the point where I am doing it unconsciously. In order to keep improving my architectural knowledge, I hope to continue my studies here at SDSU. Not necessarily having a list of personal goals, I am continuously pushing myself to learn new ways of representing my ideas in different medias/programs. I jokingly say to my classmates in studio, “I am going to be the best architect alive,” but I have realized that the more I say this to them, the more I continue to push myself to do better. This simple statement, although I know is absurd, has given me the drive I need to set high “goals” for myself. Although I do not have a list of goals to accomplish through my work in the program, my goal is to put forth all my energy into the project and push it to the limit. My career goal projection is to become an architect in a larger city, eventually moving back to the slower pace life of the Midwest. During grad school, I will be enrolled in the ROTC program in order to commission as an officer upon graduation. I hope to be the commander of a company in the Army National Guard, and put in over twenty years of service. Your time, consideration, and the opportunity to apply to the Masters of Architecture Program at South Dakota State University, is very much appreciated. Respectfully, Mark Turbak
