The Design that is implimented in the projects are minimal in nature, reveal aspects of culture, , unity, modern, and most importantly, reflects a way of life. It is in Design that well thought out solutions can be provided for our everday lives in such a way so that patching fixes later, is avoided. Design is a process of bringing together solutions in a harmonious way, whether it be designing a coffee cup or an entire building. The issues are the same of material, function, aesthetics, and durability.

Park Lane Involvement: I worked on this project for 3 years on a team that fluctuated from 4 to 10. The following are parts of the project I worked on: 33 Acre Site Plan Block C Block DF Block C exp Vehicular Bridge Pedestrian Bridge Designer : GFF.com Location: Dallas, TX SF: 33 acres Cost: $750 million
Park Lane is a 33.5-acre mixed-use development located in Dallas that sits across from North Park Center, one of the nation’s most prominent shopping malls. At completion, Park Lane will be a 2.4 million square foot mixed-use development with more than 700,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space, anchored by Dallas’ flagship Whole Foods. The urban village components include shopping, dining and entertainment
venues, Class-A office space, a four-star boutique hotel, an upscale fitness and spa facility, as well as luxury residential units. In the equivalent of five city blocks, this $750 million project will offer a unique urban experience and an unbeatable variety of options to the consumer.

Buildings I worked on Site Plan I worked on
This 33 acre site plan holds 7 large buildings and 2 bridges. I kept the site plan updated and coordinated with civil engineers, landscape architects, and other architects to make sure that the buildings were not built on easements, and landscape knew where to plant potted plants. The site plan allowed civil engineers to figure out where to place their utility lines. I managed the site plan for six months and completed Block DF, C, C expansion, the pedestrian bridge and vehicular bridge for the two and a half years after the site plan. 10

Shakespeare’s Theater Designer: Poonam Patel Instructor: Bruce Webb School: University of Houston
Shakespeare’s plays were outcast and considered rebellious when the plays first came about. Plays are an expression of the self , which during the existence of the Globe, was prohibited by the King as citizen were supposed to do what they were told. Plays were a rebellious act since
they were a reflection of self and individuality which placed the original Shakespeare’s Globe on the outskirts of the city where brothels were located to emphasize the disapproval of the theater.

Drama
tragedy comedy romance William Shakespeare
Shakespeare plays were full of drama from plays featuring tragedy, comedy & romance. The building begins to take on a dramatic pallet of angles compared to the adjacent buildings that are orthogonal to resemble the drama inherent in the plays.
The Original Globe in England The Globe had features that were
worth keeping in the modern theater, like the openness to the sky.

circuit Designer: Poonam Patel Instructor: Dietmar Froehlich School: University of Houston
The purpose of this building is to provide a place where major oil companies can do research to find alternative ways to fuel cars.
26
The circuit is a project located in Barcelona Spain and functions as a Research facility for alternative gas with the added functions of an alternative fueling station, a car dealership where you can buy electric cars and a lounge to have fun while your car is recharging. The project takes on the shape of the plot with an added central plaza, just like all of the other plots in Barcelona, and then one corner of the shape is lifted up to reveal the plaza, since plazas are an important cultural element of the city-scape. 27
detail plan
Shape Diagram The form derives from lifting an edge of a regular block in Barcelona to expose the central plaza. The Plaza is the heart of the bilding in Barcelona. In Section,X you will see that the building is “L� shaped.
By doing this the void at the center is re emphasized in elevation
All of the above ideas are then applied to the triangular shaped site given since it is not a typical square lot.
3 core ideas
Building up 28
1. expose plaza 2. a doughnut shaped building results as plazas are placed at the center of a building. An edge of this buildng has been lifted to expose the plaza. 3. A sense of culture is acknowledge by preserving the program of a park on the site, which is typical for triangular plots in Barcelona and by keeping a doughnut shaped building to maintain a visual continuity in aerial view.
Site
city grid Barcelona city’s cartesian grid occasionally gets bisected with a diagonal street creating triangular plots of land which are by default turned into parks. The plaza is an important part of culture and serves as a place to gather. Consequently each building has a plaza at the center of a building resulting in doughnut shaped buildings.

Blaffer Gallery Designer: Poonam Patel Instructor: Tom Colbert School: University of Houston
Located in Houston’s UH campus, the design of the Blaffer Gallery connects the three adjacent art buildings (music, art and theater) through the alignment of its exterior walls and celebrated axial relationships. In this way the Gallery sews the UH’s art district together creating a sense of identity and presence with the campus.
The design includes a special gallery where the work of guests and students from all of these programs is displayed making this gallery the center of the so called “art’s district” within the campus. The building is to serve as a sculpture, suggesting the contents inside and marking its location on the UH campus. The roof suggest habitable space underneath, with an opening to allow light down the atrium. The atrium is made completely out of glass to highlight the path between the music and arts building and to gesture an open and visible relationship with the neighboring buildings. While the atrium highlights a path between 32
the music and arts building, the gallery on the first floor will have more natural sunlight than the other galleries to serve as a “peep” show and extend an inviting gesture. The over all shape of the building is a result of visual and circulation connections to the adjacent buildings. The the site qualities were implemented, which informed where the spaces were located. An example would be the cafe being placed in the direction of the summer breeze to help keep it cool when sitting outside. As these pieces fell into place, the building slowly started coming together. Once the program was established then materials were introduced first based on what needed to be transparent vs. opaque. The atrium area needed to be made of glass to maintain a visual connectivity to the other buildings, but some of the galleries required art pieces to not be exposed by light, making those walls opaque.

1. Circulation- The Site is located at the center of the music building, theater building and arts building placing the site in the position to become a hub or central gathering space for the adjacent buildings 2. Purpose - The building functions to display the work and performances from the talent produced from the adjacent buildings so the visual and circulatory paths are critical to maintain, thus the glass atrium. 3. Programmatic and Site elements begin to further refine the shape.

There are up lights in the floor shinning up at the guts of the building. The design tries to reveal what is on the inside in an attempt to symbolize what art is all about- an expression of what is on the inside.

The guts: HVAC, Structure, Plumbing and Electric pipes, ducts etc are all painted a bright fluorescent color in this area to make a statement, similar to the Pompedou. Yet the soffit extends down so that it will not distract users from the art pieces.

1. The original Design was for the building to appear as an art piece to reflect the primary function of the building on the inside, which is to house art. 2. Same concept with the roof toned down and a few options for the roof. 3. The professors were conservative and pushed for a flat roof. The flat roof went away in the remixed version of this design because it made sense from a contextual, site and cultural standpoint to keep the flamboyant roof for this particular project. 4. sketch model of how the atrium space would look like 5.

This Thesis project aims to create a new prototype for office space that provides cleaner air to breathe and natural sunlight to employees while also contributing to the city scape on a larger scale by making room for pedestrian friendly walkways. This thesis will explore methods of improving existing norms to suite the healthy work environment variable in the big picture of Speculative Office Space and establish a series of criteria that can be used to create a prototype built on the foundation of successful sustainable projects build by GSA and Hines. Speculative Office Space has become a part of the everyday mundane qualities of life and has become marginalized. Since the Dawn of the Industrial Revolution, much has happened to give reason to change the way we look at Speculative Office Space. A few of these reasons are the pillars of the thesis project including: 1. The emergence of building sickness as a result of Volatile Organic Compounds, toxins released from printers and other chemicals released from building materials. 2. Lack of natural sunlight to employees as a result an efficiency
ratio. 3. Ignoring the possibility of a lively street when building office buildings. The thesis proposal takes a few remedies from a menu to illustrate how easily healthier working environments can be accomplished while also creating a more productive atmosphere. The three areas of improvement are targeted towards cleaner air, natural sunlight to all and a social responsibility to the urban landscape.

pedestrian friendly walkways peeling back the site to make room for safe walkways Urban Landscape: collectively each building should contribute to the beautification of a city. Although cities are intimidating from afar as magnificent structures, at the street level it is quite the opposite. Pedestrian walkways need to be implemented to allow people a safer and nicer place to walk in the city to add a lively feeling. Pedestrian Friendly easments have been deciphered that are along the routs that connect major city parks. If a building happens to be along the new easement, than the building is required to place potted plants, bollards, benches and garden walls. If the plot is empty, the entire easement is required to be used in favor of the pedestrian walkways. 44

sunlight for all rotating the upper half of the building allows for the best light quality natural sunlight: have floor to ceiling glass walls, incorporate Europe’s 25 foot rule where every employee must sit within 25 feet of a window, building orientation, bank on north and south lighting, clerestory, skylights, outdoor break areas.

clean air for all
10 effective plants that clean air
the framing members have a nook for plants to nest and an irrigation system. cleaner air: using materials that do not emit toxins or VOC’s, bringing plants indoors to clean, increase HVAC systems to pump outside air in, add HEPA filters and placing UV lighting that kills mold in air ducts. NASA conducted a study proving the above 10 plants the most effective towards removing toxins. VOC’s and carcinogens from the air. 45

Traditionally Office spaces have evolved in great strides since commerce separated from the church and government. Mercantilism has come a long way in terms of efficiency, but has failed when it comes to the physical working conditions. EPA.gov has evidence that the working conditions in buildings could use improvement and “Sick Building Syndrome” is the cause for many health issues worth improving on since many spend a third or more of their day in these conditions.
