NATURE TILE SPRING 2018 | ALA 226 | SPELLMAN, MURFF Studying the Affleck House by Frank Lloyd Wright, attention to materila and nature around his works played crucial parts in his homes. To follow in his process I studied a Mexican Fan palm that followed its natural system. The first is the falms fanning out and creating this grid of rays starting from the center point as a palm would. The second is a group of striation marks that run across the body like it would when being trimmed and leaving behind a beatiful skin. Through these systems I was able to create a tinal cast.

TONTOZONA | DINING + KITCHEN SPRING 2019 | ADE 322 | SPELLMAN, MESA, VEKSTEIN Located a few miles East of Payson, AZ is Camp Tonto Zona. As a collaborative studio with 3rd and 4th years, my partner was Adrian Castro. Both played an equal part in design and allowed us to practice communication skills and bounce ideas off each other (axon work credited to Castro). We were tasked with creating a dining+kitchen that would hold 300 attendees. Tasked with 3 existing steel structure buildings, we bounced the idea of joining all 3 and keeping its original structure integrity but also adding more to its grid. We wanted to create great scenes so with the butterfly roofs we were able to emphasize scenic views but also help with ventilation. Large openings and spacious areas allowed for these experiences to be had.

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE SPRING 2020 | ADE 422 | SHEPARD, FARLING, HERRING The School of Architecture... this project was to analyze and think how we could improve our experiences within our walls. We took our own experiences along with classmates and looked for a better future in our studies. I wanted to incorporate the land and how we could create these collaboration senses with furniture. On the site laid old rail tracks used and I exposed them to create a sense of direction but how we could also engage with the site. Big floor spaces were also laid to create an open atmosphere and feel more intrugued by your sorroundings causing you to explore with an open mind. Many times we’re stuck in just our private areas.

PERFORMANCE CENTER FALL 2019 | ADE 421 | HOOVER, PERRONE Located in Downtown Phoenix in the middle of Roosevelt Row, a performance center seemed ideal for its neighborhood. The community lacked a sense of gethering space where one could express themself daily opposed to once a month on First Fridays. As an attempt to bring culture together, I decided on a center that was suitable for events but also community activities. I saw the world as a performance in itself with daily activites and I wanted to emphasize that with an outdoor amphitheatre that looks out towards the public and allows you to experience all performances around you. The performance program was designed also as an amphitheatre to allow different activities or performance in the various platforms it holds within seating, allowing to be a stage of itself within many stages.

MTC EXPANSION FALL 2020 | ADE 521 | FELIPE MESA The Muttart Conservatory, located in Edmonton, Alberta, was built in 1976 and designed by Peter S. Hemingway. There are five pyramids laid out proportional on the site. The four main pyramids contain 700 species of collected flora from around the globe. The 5th pyramid acts as a skylight to the center plaza. The central courte was designed to access all pyramids and their programs. The four pyramids are named by their climates: Temperate, Arid, Tropical, and a Feature biome that completely changes throughout the year to provide different events. The expansion of the Muttart conservatory explores an endangered ecosystem ravaged by global climate change. As Earth’s average temperature rises the Tundra is being affected heavily by the crisis. The expansion explores the diverse and rugged landscape and brings a small part of the Tundra to Edmonton for everyone to experience. The tectonics follows the current structure with current steel mullion and storefront windows on the slopes of the pyramids. The topography of the expansion digs into the Earth to create a glacier and river system on sloped grade. The elevated walkway uses glass on the floor and handrails to allow for high visibility of the ecosystem of canyons, low lying plants, water and ice.. (Collab with Andrew Talero)
