TABLE OF CONTENTS PROJECT 1 This project was completed for our comprehensive design studio. The goal was to create a multi purpose mid-rise building to house the Dallas AIA offices, gallery space, and small theater at a site located along the newly completed Klyde Warren Park over the Woodal Rogers Freeway. Work was completed using Revit and post processing in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. 2012
PROJECT 2 The short project was completed in a half semester long period in a topical studio that focussed on housing. Research was done to find an appropriate style for the region and choosing a construction type and materiality that were not only sustainable, but affordable were the main goals to achieve. Work was completed using Revit, AutoCad, and post processing in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. 2013
PROJECT 3 This project was completed in the second half of a multi project topical studio focussed on housing. The main goal of the project was to successfully transform an old powerplant building into a dynamic apartment complex. Work completed using Revit with post processing in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. 2013
PROJECT 4 This redevlopment project was completed in the UrbanTech topical studio focussing on street level urban design. The first half of the semester was spent working in collaboration with other students before individual blocks along a selected street were assigned for each student to design.

Dallas Antheneum The proposed Dallas Antheneum project is located on the Woodall Rogers Freeway on the border of Uptown and Downtown in Dallas. A mid-rise, multifunctional space was the answer to a unique site which overlooks the park that spans atop the freeway. The building houses the Dallas AIA offices and library, along with a large public gallery and theater. Because of its proximity to the park and an active street, the decision was made to incorporate a semi-connected cafe and roof garden space, along with a penthouse bar and observation deck. Construction techniques used in this project are hollow structural section columns, with predominantly a glass curtain wall envelope and a secondary zinc paneling system. Special attention was paid to orientation as well as the use of shading devices in order to provide for maximum efficiency without sacrificing the desired views or functionality.

MIRRORED L SHAPE RESPONDS TO THE SURROUNDING SITE CONDITIONS AND ALLOWS FOR MAXIMUM OPPORTUNITY. THE SHAPE ALSO RESPONDS TO THE THREE MAIN PROGRAMS IMPLEMENTED IN THE PROJECT AND SETS UP A BASIC HIERARCHY AMONGST THEM.
PIECES ARE THEN EXTRACTED FROM THE GENERIC FORM AND ARE TREATED AS INDIVIDUALS. THIS ALLOWS THEM TO RESPOND DIFFERENTLY TO SITE LINES AND CONDITIONS WHILE STILL MAINTAINING AN OVERALL HIERARCHY AND RELATIONSHIP TO THE SITE.
AS A REACTION TO LINES AND VIEWS THE MAJOR ELEMENT IS ROTATED IN ORDER TO CREATE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT. THIS SETS UP VIEWS FROM THE SITE THAT CAN NOW BE BETTER CAPTURED FOR THE USER.
THE MAJOR SPACE IS INFILTRATED BY ANOTHER SPACE TO ENCLOSE THE SPACES INTO A SINGLE SHELL. THIS ENHANCES THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND IN REACTION THE GALLERY SPACE IS LIFTED FROM THE SITE TO MAINTAIN THEM AS SEPARATE PIECES.

DogTrot House Series The Canyon Lake area is arguably one of the best plots of land in Lubbock. However, the residential area that surrounds this is rundown and overlooked. In order to revitalize this area, we must capture the essence of the area and respond to it in a natural, contemporary way. Looking back in history, dogtrot houses were popular in the 1800s because of their simplicity and how they were able to provide for ample natural ventilation and daylighting. This style of home also makes the most of mixing indoor and outdoor spaces. By bringing the outside in, we can utilize numerous possibilities that take advantage of the ideal weather and climate of Lubbock. This mixture of indoor and outdoor space fits perfectly with the topography that surrounds this neighborhood. These homes also respond to the non-typical living situation; where residences aren’t just for ideal families and can contain an array of types of people all under the same. By taking a known and proven concept, amending it for a more modern lifestyle, integrating sustainable ideas, and using economical materials, the new Dogtrot house will bring life into this area and create a distinctive new neighborhood that embraces the environment and lifestyle of the 21st century.

SevenLoft Studios The LHUCA campus is becoming a staple in the downtown area of Lubbock for its creativity and revitalization of the area. However, the campus in its current state is still scattered, unfinished, and is missing that true urban feel. The old PowerPlant building located in the north east corner is arguably one of the most interesting structures around, and brings an opportunity to capture an urbanistic center for the LHUCA campus. In its existing state, the powerplant is not much more than a big eyesore, as it is the tallest structure in the area and very much run down and dilapidated. However, this also leads to big possibilities for giving the campus a new life. By bringing in permanent residents and providing them with adequate work and studio space, the new apartments will bring life into an area that is relatively quiet aside from a few monthly events. The apartments will combine the showcase of art that is true to the campus, while inviting people inside to explore the revitalized power station in its new purpose. By displaying art and exhibits at both ground level and at the 2nd floor, a powerful movement will occur that will create a new welcoming urban feel and overall improvement to the area.

Urban Redevelopment The project is located on the East side of Avenue J between Broadway Ave and 13th Street. This area is in the heart of the central business district of downtown Lubbock. In its cureent state. much of the area is run down and dilapidated. Hardscape dominates the existing site as well as its surroundings. In order to bring life back into the area, it is important to address these issues in a unique way that will contribute to the overall goal of making Avenue J a great street for the city. A mixed use building that combines the convenience of shopping and retail, with the luxury of living in a dense urban environment will help to bring life into the street. The project also focuses on reusing existing buildings that meet the level of density desired to increase the quality of life. A true immersion of live, work, and play begins to take place. With the focus on the street, we vegin to see the buildings take on the playful environment of the street by using natural elements from the region. The street then becomes a conyon in which we can find different types of activities taking place.

Deans Cup Competition
Completed for the 2011 Deans Cup Competition. The prompt for the charrette was titled “Siteless Landscape� and the submissions were to be idea based, judged by the Dean of the College of Architecture along with other notable faculty. Done in collaboration with a group of three other students, the project was completed over the course of a just a few days. The idea was that a continuously moving object has no site, only a path with transient resting points. A modular plan becomes rolled into a truncated icosahedron. Overlapping spaces become inextricable of themselves and create a multi-functional environment, occupied by a single person. Directional movement begins by walking up the walls until the surroundings shift and the unit begins to roll. Continued walking brings the person to a place that was overhead only moments before. This same movement causes the unit to move along an undetermined path. The submission earned 3rd place honors, and work was done in Rhino, Autocad, and Adobe Photoshop.

BIM Office Building This purpose of this group project was to take an empty lot in downtown Lubbock and transform it into a new office building that not only responded to the environment, but that was visually satisfying in its surroundings. The office was modeled using BIM software and was detailed completely to code. The structural, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems were all planned out and implemented into our building as well. The team went through a series of progressions before coming to a final product with all of our design decisions. The focus on the class was not to look at form as a driver, but instead to understand how we must work with coding issues and combine all of the different systems to form a cohesive and functional building. Identifying certain zones and splitting the spaces into relatable functions, we were able to achieve both maximum convenience and customization for the inhabitants. Overall the building is successful in that it is easy to manage, provides ample office space, creates a striking new landmark, and is environmentally friendly.

Digital Media The purpose of this project was to create a component using a pre-determined sized strip of paper. We were then to take specific measurements of the strip and model them using rhinoceros. The next step was to play with the flexibility and functionality, and come up with a series of arrangements. Again paying attention to detail, we were to model the connections, and come up with a series of forms only using our components in different arrangements. The following is a collection of works from this project and the forms that could be created using my particular arrangement of the component. Modeled in Rhino, post production in Illustrator. 2010

Digital Media The purpose of this project was to create wall like surface using different components each with a certain aperture. The shapes were created in rhino and then arranged in a way that created a blurred surface. The different apertures, along with slight color variation help to create the desired effect. The final result was a wall that could also have a floor and base. The shape and size of the apertures would allow for a unique experience for visitors. Modeled in Rhino, post processing in Illustrator.

The purpose of this project was to take a three dimensional shape and transform it into a dynamic surface. The original shapes were created and then underwent a number of transformations that allowed for greater customization. The shape was then arranged and draped along a surface to create an installation that took on a new life and created a feeling of movement. The end result was a panel that could serve as unique form that accentuated the space that it occupied. Modeled in Rhino, post processing in Illustrator.

Study Abroad Italy site
This short project was aimed at identifying a plaza and revitalizing its use to be a central public space. As a group we chose the crisis of the original plaza carefully. We then took our analysis and researched some of the history of the area. We found that our location allowed us to utilize some more modern features without taking away from the rich history of the town. By transforming our site and merging technology, nature, and customs, we were able to bring life back in to the plaza. This joint project was performed over the course of one half week in Gioiosa Marea, Sicily.

Study Abroad Italy The purpose of this group project was to take an existing plaza area that had become rundown and forgotten and transform it along with a pre-existing cafe into a theatre and performing arts school. The location here is key because of the city’s history and connection with the ancient Roman Theatre across the river. By using some of the city’s historical context, my partner and I were able to make major changes to the area, while still respecting the classic style of the surrounding area. This project was conducted while studying abroad in Verona, Italy in the summer of 2011. The design was a collaboration effort with a single partner where all of the work was done together in its entirety. It was presented and displayed in the International Stone Competition later that fall in Verona.
