Houston Center for Wood and Contemporary Craft Project In Progress
The new Houston Center for Wood and Contemporary Craft houses permanent and temporary exhibits for contemporary craft and wood furniture. The center will also have temporary gallery spaces for craft artist to come and display their work and will feature an Artists-In-Residence program with a world-renowned wood-shop for furniture making. The exterior pathways will circulate visitors through the exterior sculpture garden leading them to the entrance of the building. Upon entering, the visitors will take the elevator from the lobby to the fourth floor, then they will descend the continuous ramp while viewing wood furniture and contemporary crafts. The floors and roof are structured with a concrete tree column that is in the center of the building. The building is formed from the geometry of the site and is covered with a reflective metal faรงade. The metal facade is interrupted with wood boxes that punch out of the facade to indicate the interior circulation from the exterior. This new center will grow the publics awareness of contemporary crafts.

The Royal National Park Visitor Center
2
The Royal National Park (RNP) located in Sydney, Australia, is the second oldest park in the world. It was established in 1879 and christened by Queen Elizabeth ll in 1955. Since then, tourist from all over the world have come to explore the Park's flora and fauna. The Royal National Park Visitor Center will be located near the entrance of the Park and creates a center that will educate the public and human impact on the environment, while also showcasing a unique ecosystem. The center will act as a hub allowing visitors to gather as a community and learn about the history and ecology of the region. The facility will create intimate spaces of exploration, which will educate and infatuate the visitors about the park. When they reach the main observation space, which cantilevers over the tree tops, the people will have a greater appreciation for the park and its surroundings.
The center will be held up by two mega truss systems that span the entirety of the facility. These structures will convey a sense of weightlessness and elegance by gently touching the ground in as few points as possible. Beginning at ground level, the visitor center will cantilever over the hill framing a view of the Hacking River. The curved roof systems will create a rhythm, mimicking the gently cascading hills surrounding the center. The spine of these two structures is a water catchment system that will store rainwater for non-potable uses to reduce water consumption. Due to the geographic location, perforated metal panels will allow ample amounts of diffused northern light to enter the building year-round. These passive systems will reduce the energy load and potable water use of the building and allow it to be an educational gathering space for the RNP visitors for many years.

Perspective Section
In Australia winds blow at an average of 12-19 miles per hour. To accommodate these north south winds, operable clerestory windows were installed above the metal panels to allow for passive ventilation.
In Australia 23-35 inches of rain fall each year. Due to this scarcity, a water catchment system is installed between the barrel roofs to funnel rainwater into two cisterns along the perimeter of the building.
Because Australia lies in the southern hemisphere, direct sunlight comes from the north. A perforated metal screen system was implemented to diffuse the incoming light. A perforated metal skin as well as exterior walkways allow for a visual and physical connection with the environment.

Public School At Mueller

The central goal for this project is the seamless integration of educational facilities with the natural environment. The school at Mueller is arranged with the goal to enclose parts of the site creating learning spaces for the students. Each grade is set up to wrap around a courtyard, so that all the classrooms can have doors that open to the outdoors. Each class will be able to use these captured outdoor spaces as extensions of their classrooms. The school employs several innovation system strategies that are on display creating learning opportunities for the students. Vegetated roofs are placed next to the EcoRise classrooms for easy access to outdoor gardening activates. The cafeterias has its own compost area allowing students to move the compost to the roof gardens and learn from it in the EcoRise classrooms. The school will also have a living machine that will take the used water from the building clean it and reuse it for irrigation of the site and pluming for the school. The roof gardens have cisterns that collect rainwater from the roofs and the water is used to irrigate the gardens. The space will be large enough to allow for students to go and learn the process of recycling water. The quard spaces have its own rainwater catchment systems that will irrigate the site. This school is design around the environment, so everyone can learn about sustainable living.

This Project is based upon a representation of the invisible networks of airmail routes, creating an architecture of weightlessness. The exhibition causes float in space to create a cloud;like collection that encourages exploration of the exhibit. The programmatic spaces are grouped in the same way to encourage exploration of the building.

Design Build: The Hero’s Launch
5
The Hero’s Launch was a collaborative project between the 17 members of ARCH 335 and MedCamps of Louisiana. MedCamps of Louisiana is a nonprofit, free of charge, summer camp for children with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Our studio was asked to design a fully functional ADA accessible canoe and paddle boat launch that catered to the needs of the campers. Our final design was inspired by the concept of the Hero’s Journey. We were determined to create a space that encourage the campers to become hero’s on the water. We created a red threshold for camper to cross through when they are ready to embark on their journey to the unknown, and return back victorious, a hero, and a mentor to those who come after. After we design the canoe launch, then it was time start building. The class split into two teams, a site and shop team to finish the project in six weeks. I mostly worked at the site, where I help survey the site, demolish the existing dock, and constructed the canoe launch. This project was a great experience because in ten weeks our class was able to change the lives of campers.
