RECLAIMING URBAN ECOLOGIES SHANGHAI, CHINA
SPRING 2014 | PROF. JEFFREY S. NESBIT URBAN DESIGN GRADUATE STUDIO | 5505
Shanghai is a vibrant center for trade, economics, and culture maintaining a distinct identity that is a blend of Western and Chinese influence. The primary artery that feeds Shanghai’s existence is the Huangpu River. It is a source of water for the locals while also acting as the primary avenue for shipping manufactured products out of the city. The river however is heavily polluted, ranging from Class V up to Class VII pollution levels, creating a detriment to the area at large. The exponential growth of Shanghai in conjunction with the conversion of native marshlands, streams and river to hard-surface has allowed the water quality to deteriorate at alarming rates. The primary emphasis of this proposal is to re-introduce natural marshland ecologies to cultivate landscape contexts that are native to Shanghai. Said ecologies would counteract pollution levels by cleansing water through a five step filtering process. The strategy would display the filtering process and educate the community on the native systems used to clean the river water. Mutual interventions between existing site conditions and the performative topography would be intertwined via a series of paths, corridors, overpasses, tunnels, and platforms that lead people to the permeable edges of the filtering pools. The proposal is ultimately a snapshot in time regarding the potential reintroduction of filtering marshland ecologies as a factor in eradicating Shanghai’s water pollution epidemic while establishing a useable public space for the people of Shanghai.

SLIPSTUDIO AGENCY AUSTIN, TX
SPRING 2013 | PROF. DANIEL PRUSKE COMPREHENSIVE GRADUATE STUDIO | 5901
For the idea of community it is important to respect and enhance the qualities of Austin. Through amplifying the existing trends and style of the macro scale of the city, they will then be implemented into the micro context of the surrounding neighborhood. The goal is to set the standard for the area as new development continues to occupy the East side of 6th street. Design influences are pulled from different conditions in relation to the site. In the direction running parallel to I-35, the idea of linking dedicated green spaces to reflect the flow of the creek on the opposite side of the interstate can create a vibrant promoter of well-being. This particular location in Austin is in close proximity to outdoor exercise and bike routes that are commonly used by the active population of young professionals. The axis that 6th street provides then becomes the question of what the project should do to link the East and West sides of 6th street. A portal can be created to pull the high activity from the booming West side which has lively shops and nightlife and push it to the developing industrial and residential East side. High-density buildings can produce an increased complexity of social life that makes intimate group identity almost impossible. The project can assist in the revitalization of the surrounding area with its multi uses and invitation for communal interaction through means of green space and the climbing wall. The project is geared toward a demographic of young professional. The project seeks to engage all four edges of the site. The result is an elevated volume that caps the sequence of planes from the exposed parking garage. It is vital to utilize the sites noticeable location which is oriented on two of the busiest roads in Austin. Patrons can enter the building from the primary entrance which is the space below the cantilevered volume on the SW corner. Upon crossing the transparent threshold, there is a split inclining and declining path to choose from. The inclined path leads directly to the elevators giving access to the SLIP Advertising Agency and the SLIP Studio Lofts. For those who opt for the declined path, it becomes a much more rigorous trek vertically by climbing the rock wall to the top of the transparent volume. Furthermore, users have the option of walking up the ramp on the top floor which provides access to the green roof.

BLOCK SEVEN LUBBOCK, TX
FALL 2013 | DR. HENDRIKA BUELINCKX TOPICAL GRADUATE STUDIO | 5503
*IN COLLABORATION WITH ALBERTO ALVAREZ | SIMON ALVAREZ | VANIA FRANCO
Amidst the residential properties lining 19th St lies Ellwood Place, home to a rich history contributing to Lubbock’s development. The original “T” shaped building, constructed in 1936, remains an integral component to the existing complex. A prominent location allowed the site to host a plethora of successful business activity. This reinforces the reasoning for mixed-use programming that combines residential, commercial, and public spaces. Intermingling of old and new will allow the existing quality to continue as a journey through the proposed development. The emphasis of intimate courtyards and meandering pathways provide opportunities for users to experience a weaving of events at varying times of the day. The significance of the Godbold does not exist within the bounding walls of the structures. The community is the guiding council on sociological merits of a place. The implementation of adaptive re-use development is the ultimate vehicle to protect the history of the Godbold.

TRANSFORMING SURFACE JAYANG, SEOUL, KOREA
SUMMER 2012 | PROF. JEFFREY S. NESBIT & KUHN PARK STUDY ABROAD SEOUL | SS2012t 4601 *IN COLLABORATION WITH TAYLOR PATTON
The Jayang Madang project is based in close proximity to the Jayang market in Seoul, Korea. It is an investigation of how residents in this neighborhood of varying ages begin to intermingle and enrich the social aspects of day to day life. In order to capture a sense of the culture, the sequence of traditional Korean houses were studied rigorously. The proposal for this project is to express and enhance the series of strata from the existing site and allow these layers of information to be embedded within the project. The objective is to cultivate and strengthen the interaction of younger and elder generations within a single place. This site was developed after analyzing and diagramming through a series of field measures, how folds and peels can create projections which begin to redefine the boundaries of space. The progression of these boundaries follow the ordered sequence of the traditional housing type but in a reinterpreted dimension.

Union Station is the iconic passenger rail station located just south of downtown Denver. The proposed site area is within a quarter-mile proximity to major sporting venues, parks, office, shopping, nightlife, and residential spaces. The objective of the Union Summit project is to embody the athleticism, adventure, and outdoors that is the heart of the Denver community through design and materials. Implemented into the site is a 350,000 sq ft. building which features a boutique hotel, a hostel, recreation facilities (rock climbing wall, fitness center, pool, roof track), restaurants, a spa, and multiple retailers. Plazas and paths carved into the site allow pedestrians to circulate between the two major passenger rail systems that are immediately adjacent to the proposed site. Denver’s push northward from the downtown area make this site a prominent prospect in the very immediate future.
