Design Concept - Studio V 2014 To emphasize the connection between Riverwalk, street, restaurant and apartment in this multi-story, mixed use building, a large glass artery / atrium projects through the middle of the structure. This atrium acts as the primary circulation path between the building’s program elements and the exterior. The façade’s striated louvre design creates a dynamic building façade, which mirrors the constantly evolving fabric of the San Antonio Riverwalk.

The striated louvre design is constructed of a robust plastic which is able to flex into the open position then return to its original form without permanent deformation. The semi-transparent material also allows diffused light to permeate the entire apartment space, while maintaining privacy from the exterior.

Welding and Metalwork 2303 - Fall 2014 There is a certain elegance about a structure being an unbroken, monolithic element. To capture this elegance in a chair, a continuous loop of hollow steel tubing, without any penetrations or breaks, acts as the primary structure. The frame is built of 1.5� hollow steel tube to allow enough strength for the chair to be connected only at the seat and the back, without any additional cross bracing. All edges are miter-cut, welded, and ground smooth. To preserve the continuity of the steel loop, rare-earth magnets are used in lieu of traditional fasteners to attach the plywood back and seat. The strength in the chair’s design is found in its assembly: mitered edges, no cross bracing, no fasteners, all contributing to the continuous nature of the steel frame.
10 11
| Magnets set into plywood strips, fixed to the back of the laminate, allow the removable back and seat to remain in place while fixed to the chair.
Steel Chair
| The angle of the chair’s back must work in tandem with the angle of the legs. The top edge of the back cannot extend beyond the bottom corner of the legs to prevent the chair from tipping backwards.

Design Concept - Studio II 2011 Since natural light is critical to a gallery space, a large emphasis is placed on how light enters this multi-story infill art gallery. A perforated wood screen envelopes the two gallery floors, creating an even diffusion of light, and delineating the location of the gallery spaces from the office spaces on the exterior. The frequency of perforations decreases as one moves from east to west to allow more shelter from the afternoon sun. The resulting dappled light effect on the interior of the gallery spaces will evolve throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky.

“Concrete Mondrian”
Design / Fabrication
Creative Process 2302 - Fall 2013 The concept behind this concrete slab was to use sculpted mass to create a Mondrian inspired composition. The color pallet is derived from three building materials: concrete, red mahogany and dark cocobolo wood and copper. These three elements, stone, wood, and metal, mimic Mondrian’s use of the three primary colors, red, blue, and yellow. The calcium rich water used in the concrete creates a varied color finish in the slab, while the heavy grained wood and reflective copper further diversify the palette.

Avenue J
| Avenue J site photo series
site circulation concept |
Design Concept - Studio III 2013 Avenue J is a main artery in Lubbock and therefore plays a major role in the intended reinvigoration of Lubbock night life. In this multi-use building for the KTXT radio station, an initial moment, a catwalk, reaches outward to grab attention and facilitate movement into the site. The catwalk acts as both an area of intrigue as well as a secondary viewing space for performances. The division between radio operations and event space is realized by the perforated metal screen enveloping the entire structure. The perforated pattern follows a gradient from more to less open as one moves from the more public event space to less public radio spaces. The walls of the interior event space are also retractable, allowing a larger, combined event space sharing the same stage with the exterior.

Areas highlighted blue indicate the degree of privacy required in a space, the darkest blue being the most open to the public and the lightest being the most private.

Design Concept - Studio IV 2013 The intention of this 500 square foot cabin is to diffuse the barrier between interior and exterior, creating the feeling of living outside even while inside the structure. The large, exaggerated exterior deck emphasizes the horizontal plane, encouraging activity outside the cabin, while a lifted portion of the deck creates a roof that provides shelter from the sun. Due to Ransom Canyon’s mild climate, three sides of the structure are composed of floor to ceiling, operable glass panels which slide open during comfortable times of year.

Vertical Pavilion

Design Concept - Studio VI Study Abroad 2014 The introduction of a “vertical pavilion� takes the inherent moments of compression and release, present in the Venice cityscape, and turns them 90 degrees allowing visitors to experience Venice in the vertical direction. One enters the pavilion in the most compressed space, a sotoportego (a low, covered walkway beneath a building), and circulates upwards into gradually less compressed areas until a final release at an exposed roof terrace. This vertical circulation experience also reveals the different layers of the Venetian fabric: ground level, sotoportego, building interior, roof level, bird’s eye view, and sky.

Design Concept - Studio IV 2013 To expose facets of local Lubbock culture (wine making, dinosaur discoveries, and ranching heritage), light reveals are placed throughout the building to highlight exhibits and performances. Areas containing significant cultural artwork, antiques, relics or performances have carefully placed slit-reveals illuminating an otherwise dark space with natural light. This moment of reveal happens in the great hall as well as the primary and secondary gallery spaces. As the light washes the exposed concrete walls, it diffuses into the space, illuminating the exhibits inside and revealing them to visitors.
