De Colores Location: Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico Type: Hospitality - Individual Year: Fall 2018 Traveler’s Inn Prof. James Warfield
Goals: In recent years, UNESCO has identified a number of vernacular environments and cultural landscapes as world heritage sites. While this designation was intended to protect global patrimony, the effect has been to attract international visitors to these sites. Each student is incharge of choosing a site from the World Heritage list, and design a 16 unit lodge for the off-the-beaten-track traveler. The inn should provide access to cultural, natural or historic point of interest. Concept: Tequila, Jalisco, MX is the birthplace of the drink Tequila. The small town brings in tourist to experience the distilleries year round. With this Inn, they would be able to enjoy a traditional mexican hogar (home). Easy circulation and transition between spaces is critical due to las fiestas (drinking). The circular chimney sets an axis for the transition of the user, and the curvalinear walls and roof accentuate the flow throughout spaces.

Art + Man. Location: Chicago, IL, South fork of Chicago River (Bubbly Creek) Type: Urban Design - Team of 6 Year: Fall 2017 Chicago Studio Prof. Kevin Hinders Goals: The Central Manufacturing Districts (CMD) once stood for Modern innovation in production and led the economy in Chicago. Now, CMD represents a blight in the neighborhoods because of the degrading and abandonded buildings left behind due to the decline of manufacturing. Working in a team of 6 including urban planners, landscape architects and architects, students are to reimagine a possible urban renewal for the south branch of the Chicago river in the old Stock Yards. Concept: Art + Man. District is an integrative cultural experience where degrading manufacutring districts are revitalized through the convergence of two opposing forces: Art + Manufacturing.

Artist would have a space to Create, and they would be able to buy their materials in the current companies in the CMD. EPA thinks it is brilliant to have training programs in green cleaning, waste management and building operation and maintenance. Residents who live near the CMD, would have the opportunity to find a job within the district
School teachers are happy to see the city invest in green infrastructure and its effort to clean the river to make the neighborhood more appealing. Business owners in the food processing sector will now have the resources necessary to expand their investment in the CMD. New residential development will turn the CMD into a viable neighborhood.
The incubators in the district would serve aspiring small and medium business owners to start their businesses. Kayakers would be able to move along the south branch of the Chicago river for recreation. The new development would attract tourists who would have the opportunity to see the work of the artists and more.

G Bench Type: Furniture Design - Individual Year: Fall 2018 Wood Furniture Seminar Prof. Carl Lewis
Goals: Architectural decision making occurs at every scale of design. In an ideal situation, the designer has control of the relationship between the whole (concept), and the part (conceptual detail). Using wood working techniques, students are required to design + build a family heirloom. A piece of furniture that can withstand time and express a families legacy to future generations.
Concept: Traditional/Vernacular mexican furniture involves leather and a rustic character such as live edge wood pieces. George Nakashima designs live edge benches to express a modern take on his own Japanese heritage. This rendition of a live edge bench is to incorporate leather straps from Mexico. The straps are interlaced and wieved to maximize strength for the backrest. The crest rail is steam bent and turned. The legs are straight and turned as if to not take away from the dynamic live edge wood slab. 16

Influence Location: Boura Department, Burkina Faso, Africa Type: Education - Team of 2 Year: 2019 Re-School Competition
Competition Projects
Goals: Millions of people around the world lose the opportunity to learn, owing to inaccessible locations and lack of facilities, a situation that needs immediate attention and remediation. The goal is to choose a site where education is innacessable, and the participants are to design a multifunctional educational space to accommodate a capacity of 200 students from the age group of 5 to 11 years.
Concept: Burkina Faso has been the country with the fewest schools to serve kids. Many of the kids aren’t financially endowed to afford travel expenses to the nearest school. Some kids would rather work to help provide for their families, and by the time they grow up they lack the skills to prosper. The main idea for this project is to provide spaces for both the development of academic and essential living skills: Vocational and Academic.

Seed Location: Valles Marineris, Mars Type: Space Exploration - Team of 2 Year: 2018 Marception
Competition Projects
Goals: The last few centuries there has been a decrease of resources on Earth, which has led to climatic changes around the world. Mars has become a potential new habitat for earth’s future population. Participants are to create a self-sustaining living space for a group of five researchers. Mars is mainly composed of CO2. In order for humans to live on this planet we have to increase the Oxygen content in Mars atmosphere.
Concept: The building is an observatory that allows plants to grow within in order to intake CO2 and convert it into Oxygen through photosynthesis. With speed of up to 60 mph, we introduced an aerodynamic form to direct air into the turbine to produce energy. Solar panels are place in the glass facade to also generate energy. Lastly, geothermal energy is gathered from the intense heat of Mars soil. The soil also has traces of water for the plants to grow. 24

Stitch Location: Valle de Valcarca, Gracia, Barcelona, Spain Type: Publishing & Start-Up Company Year: Spring 2017 - Capstone Prof. Alejandro Lapunzina Goals: Capstone studio considered integration of all parts of design including MEP, HVAC, structure, and relation to urban context. The site is located in a dense urban and highly political location. Residents value their green spaces. Students are to design a publishing company and a number of start-up Incubators while still retaining a sense of green public space for the residents.
Undergraduate Projects
Concept: The building is placed underground to maximize green space. Form is developed by stitching the existing grid. The storefront is reflecting the current condition across the street, and both the publishing company below grade working collaboratively under one space.

Casa Ugalde by Coderch Is interesting because the of the implementation of Nature during the design. Coderch made sure to not remove any trees during the design, and use them to outline some of the spaces in the House. This correlation between nature and architecture is important for further designs of Coderch and many architects in the after war era. Furthermore, it is located in a hill top where the view to the Mediterranean sea is unbelievable.
