UT Campus - Honors Courtyard Fall 2021
Professor: Hope Hasbrouck & Claire Eddleman-Heath
LAR Design + Visual Studio I
My design employed the use of lines of extension between entr y & exit points from the four dorms that encapsulate the cour tyard. I used these lines of extension and subdivisions within to influence each space. This new cour tyard holds a large gathering terrace at its center where students can hold meetings, club fairs, graduation celebrations, or during the semester as a study area. Within the spaces, the trees, and the foliage I aimed to frame the g r o u n d , t h e s k y, a n d v a r i o u s p o i n t s of interest. The cour tyard sparks c u r i o s i t y, e n c o u r a g e s r e l a x a t i o n , and breathes new life into an underutilized part of campus.

Sound Lab Spring 2021 Professor: Ryan Hier & Ashley Byars DSGN Studio: Integrate Partner: Geneva Sinkula
Sound Lab is a skill share music hall. Divided into three distinct programs, the space contains merchandise (market hall), talent (concert hall), and skill (music hall) after the three byproducts of a musician. Dedicated to the production and distribution of music, Sound Lab offers the community of Benson a creative environment at the threshold of downtown. Additionally, there is a strong focus on balancing public and private spaces, while also negotiating views down Benson’s commercial corridor and Radial Highway. Programmatic efficiency offers the Sound Lab a diverse way of interacting with the space including a performance stair, as well as hinged and sliding area expansions. Lastly, the two floors of this music hall are united through large public spaces, continually stressing a skill share mentality.
