The Chapel of the Holy Cross built in the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona is the epitome of what many architects try to achieve when designing religious a r c h i t e c t u r e . I t â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s r e l i a n c e o n t h e symbolic rock as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation and the sprawling views of the surrounding environment create a humbling and spiritual experience within the walls of the church.

Taliesin West was architect Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and school in the desert from 1937 until his death. Wright believed this to be the perfect spot for such a building: a place of residence, a place of business and a place to learn. The structure's walls are made of local desert rocks, stacked within wood forms, filled with concrete. Natural light also played a major part in the design.

Sketching

The sculpture's name refers to its primary earth/star alignment. It is precisely aligned with Earth's axis, which now points toward our north star Polaris.The approach to building Star Axis involves gathering a variety of star alignments occurring in different time scales and allowing them to form the architecture.

06 SOUTHWEST ROAD TRIP RECORD

Situated on the Continental Divide you walk through the twisted, oldgrowth Juniper, Fir and Ponderosa Pine trees, over the ancient lava trail to the Ice Cave. The natural layers of ice glisten blue-green in the reflected rays of sunlight. Another trail winds around the side of the Bandera Volcano to view one of the best examples of a volcanic eruption in the country.

Reflecting one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes of North America, it preserves ruins of the early indigenous tribes that lived in the area. The park's distinctive geologic feature, Spider Rock, is a sandstone spire that rises 750 feet (229 m) from the canyon floor at the junction of Canyon de Chelly and Monument Canyon.

Judd Foundation holds and maintains artist Donald Judd's private living and working spaces in Marfa, Texas. Comprised of a total of 15 spaces, these properties include studios installed with artwork by Judd and others, living quarters, ranch and architecture offices, and libraries.

This project integrates campus expansion into livable neighborhood development, finally creating a livable campus for University of Southern California (USC). A depressed light industrial area is adjacent to USC. In order to improve safety around the campus area, a livable neighborhood is a good choice for future development. Livable neighborhoods need walkable streets, mixed-use development, low carbon transportation, vibrant public spaces, and more (The American Institute of Architects). USC is one of the largest private investors in Los Angeles area, and it is planning to expand academic and research area. A more livable campus can be the fundamental engine for the improvement of this district and an expansion potential for USC. All of this leads to the exploration of future campus mode

Space This green linear area provides free movement for commuters, wild meadow and quiet seating for peolpe who want to escape from urban area, and safe playground for children. In dry season, low-lying meadow areas are activity areas. During wet season, low-lying places are covered with rainwater, and relatively high areas become paths. Visitors can observe and play water in the park.

Through proximity to the street and transparency of program, the library reads as the exercise of the mind; and the community center, park and pool as the exercise of the body.

The structure's walls are made of local desert rocks, stacked within wood forms, filled with concrete. Natural light also played a major part in the design.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross built in the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona is the epitome of what many architects try to achieve when designing religious a r c h i t e c t u r e . I t ’s r e l i a n c e o n t h e symbolic rock as it’s foundation and the sprawling views of the surrounding environment create a humbling and spiritual experience within the walls of the church.

Star Axis

Star Axis is an architectonic earth/star sculpture constructed with the geometry of the stars; earth-to-star alignments built to human scale. It offers an intimate experience of how the earth's environment extends into the space of the stars. The sculpture's name refers to its primary earth/star alignment. It is precisely aligned with Earth's axis, which now points toward our north star Polaris.The approach to building Star Axis involves gathering a variety of star alignments occurring in different time scales and allowing them to form the architecture.

Casa Grande Ruins

White Sands

Chinati Foundation

The focal point of community life since it was founded in 1706 by Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdez. Centered around the plaza, Albuquerque's Old Town encompasses about ten blocks of historic adobe buildings. On the north side of the plaza is the San Felipe de Neri Church, the oldest building in the city, which was built in 1793. Surrounding the church, the city's settlers had built their homes, shops and government offices, many of which have since been converted into the restaurants, art galleries and shops that comprise Old Town today.

The desert is located in Tularosa Basin New Mexico. Its white sands are not composed of quartz, like most desert sands, but of gypsum and calcium sulfate. Unlike other desert sands, it is cool to the touch, due to the high rate of evaporation of surface moisture and the fact that the sands reflect, rather than absorb, the sun's rays. At 1185 meters above sea level, there are approximately 442 total square kilometers of dune fields and is known to be the world's largest surface deposit of gypsum.

This is an artist's depiction of the Casa Grande("Great House") and its surrounding compound as it may have appeared around 1350 C.E. One of the largest prehistoric structures ever built in North America, its purpose remains a mystery. The general physical appearance of Casa Grande Ruins has changed very little since the 1940's. Continuing research, ruins repairs, interpretive programs, and visitor center remodeling are all part of the continuing effort.
