[Vising Critique Studio] John Grable :: Mark Wellen :: Tom Kundig
Project 1: BunkHouse RailStation The structure or structures are to house, feed, and clean, eight cow hands. Responding appropriately to the history, site, and culture of the context, these bunkhouses engage the surroundings while creating a place of congregation. This month long project was hosted by guest Architect, John Grable.
Project 2: Rehab Guest-House This project needed to speak for your soul and inspire transformation. The rehabilitation guest house is designed for troubled youths, couples, and addicts needing a get-a-way from everyday life. The structures include living quarters, sociable surroundings, and site interaction for the designated tenants. This month long project was hosted by guest Architect, Mark Wellen.
Project 3: Book of the Coast This project is your ideal cabin. Pick any site in Texas and design your ideal cabin. The cabin requires a one month survival plan for one tenant. Self sustaining infrastructure and materials. This month long project was hosted by guest Architect, Tom Kundig.

Chronophotography :: A set of photographs of a moving object, taken for the purpose of recording and exhibiting successive phases of motion.
Project 1: The documentation of dance motions with the use of light as a visual conductor. Project 2: A series of photographs documenting various activites that could take place in private quarters
[Abstract Spaces] ::phenomenal spaces ::transitional spaces ::exploded axonometric “A Beautiful Lie.� How do you define space(s). We restrain our design with rules and principles using the shapes L, U, and C to define precincts and zones. Once defined the use of jointure, hierarchy, and economy of means create both transitional and phenomenal spaces

[Vertical Farm_Sky Harvest] ::market | resident | market floor plans ::employee quarters | market floor render sky harvest team: michael Reed_christopher Rueda The district of Chelsea, NY needs a fresh source of produce for the community and the Sky Harvest is just the facility to accomplish this task. With floors 1-4 as a public market place for the community. Floor 4 serves as an employee resident floor and 5-25 as the facilities grow floors. The sky harvest opens its entire exterior curtain wall facade to the district of Chelsea.
::grow wall render ::grow process wall section ::hydroponic growing systems ::physical model Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. The Sky Harvest was designed to eliminate the use of soil and utilize the economy of means vertically rather than horizontally. The curtain wall makes up 60% of the buildings exterior facade allowing the district of Chelsea an unobstructed view of the grow process from seed to harvest. Alternating between natural lighting via exterior screening mechanisms and artificial interior lighting, each floor is equipped to fit the various vegetation that grows upon them.

[Piazzetta Molinari] The urban landscape demands the publics attention and interaction, what once was a parking lot becomes a social congregation for students, tourists, church goers and pedestrians. Allow the space to define itself and design for said space. Site analysis show the space is frequented most by pedestrians who rest, socialize, or have lunch in their spare time. I have decided to transform and simultaniously stabilize the existing space for futher public interaction.
[Piazzetta Molinari] The city of Verona, Italy is divided by a serpantine river that borders Piazzetta Bra Molinari and the first step in the reinovating the urban landscape was to join both river and site. Long canals that lead pedestrians from seating to river bed, inviting enough to journey forward, yet cautious enough to ward away the public in case of flooding. The notion and development of “levels” was what really drove the design process from the top of the cathedral tower to the river below. The journay through the site was the most important story.

The project for this studio is an Experimental Horticulture & Landscaping Research Center. The center, located in Lubbock, Texas, focuses on the cultivation of new planting types and landscaping methodolgies for arid environments throughout the world, but focuses on the cultivation of these practices in the Southwestern U.S.

The educatioin portion of the facility is for prospective scientists who desire hands on training and study. The division between Lab and Classroom is imperative. I’ve designed building access via emergant landscape to and from the second floor (student level) in the attempt to seperate the two, and the auditorium serves as a connection between both worlds.
N Ave K
The overall aim of the center is the cultivation of new planting types and landscaping methodologies. The Center is a base for the laboratory activities associated with this function, and is adjacent to a large portion of land which is used for final stage testing of experimental plantings.

[Collaboration] ::turtle creek:dallas, tx Group 4: elissa Adams_kelly Herzog_cody Mcnallen_michael Reed_claire shaw The collaborative studio unites landscape, interior, and architecture disciplines in a design process. This studio designed both a multifamily and multifuntion facility to promote a professional and healthy lifestyle as a young individual. The idea was to combine housing, office, retail, and public recreation in one central location.
