Architects can’t force people to connect, it can only plan the crossing points, remove barriers, and make the meeting places useful and attractive. – Denise Scott Brown

Studio Brief The Building type: Small scale tower, Building footprint and envelop to be determined by the studio.
Ariel view of site from Google Earth.
The Site: The site is at the West end of the South courtyard of the Redondo Village apartments on the UNM campus where an existing “Hut” is located. Each student is to conduct research and analysis of the site that includes the “Hut” and surrounding outdoor spaces and dormitory buildings. The resulting research and analysis should inform the design decisions for the tower and adjacent outdoor spaces as well as define the constraints for the project. The Program: The architectural program is to increase the capacity of what the existing “Hut” provides for its residents at least threefold by adding more space for meetings, studying and recreation. This expansion will require multiple levels: at least three above the ground level with the upper most having a roof terrace. All levels above the ground must be accessible by elevator and stairs. Adequate support spaces are to be provided such as ADA accessible toilets, storage, etc... An area for a few computer stations, printers and scanners should be provided in addition to sound proof practice rooms for student musicians. Developing the program is a part of the studio assignment for the semester. The final product will involve a list of net square footages for all elements of the program including circulation and mechanical spaces.

Project Narrative Students from around the world come to the University of New Mexico seeking an education. These students leave everything behind in pursuit of knowledge, which creates a need for amenities that mimic home on campus. The University strives to meet this needs by providing amenities outside of the existing student housing but within the campus. The current Hut, the student amenities building for Redondo student housing, is an underutilized facility. The driver of my design was to create a space that provided all the necessities with a home - like environment that fosters student’s wellbeing while framing and celebrating the natural amenities provided by the location. The location of the Hut offers beautiful views of the Sandia Mountains, the historic route 66 and the lively activities of Johnson Field. Albuquerque offers 300 days of sunshine and an opportunity to enjoy the weather was a strong driver in this project. The design seeks to offer students a quiet place to read and study that meets every individual’s unique. The Casa @ UNM offices a variety of private study areas, available 24 / 7 , a state of the art vending machine cafeteria, and a unique viewing area of the Sandia mountains. The project sought to retain the existing amenity of the grass lawn, opting to keep a compact building footprint. The aesthetics of the project are derived from an inclination to create a dynamic contrast to the surrounding built environment. The building expresses the structure in the envelope and uses it to reinforce the vertical of the project. This is in contrast to the low horizontal buildings surround the tower. The Casa @ unm strive to create a home that frames the views of the Sandia mountains and the activity of the adjacent field.

Perforated House / Kavellaris Urban Design Architects: Kavellaris Urban Design Location: Victoria, Australia Project team: Billy Kavellaris & Rodrigo Mateluna This once vacant site is nestled at the eastern bookend between a row of single fronted Victorian terraces and a double fronted Edwardian weatherboard house. Our strategy was to critique and respond to our ongoing research into the terrace typology. We concluded that this demand and attraction for such a housing model has a stronger link with romanticized nostalgia rather than of good design with the emphasis residing on the symbolism of the ornamental facade, which dictates “the neighbourhood character” instead of responding to it. From Kavellaris web site
“We challenge the idea that small inner city blocks cannot respond to complex contextual constraints such as orientation, sustainability, innovative urban infill planning controls and heritage restrictions. Instead of negotiating with these so called ‘constraints’, we utilized them as areas of possibility and exploration for our design processes and discourse.” Billy Kavellaris
The teams strategy to break down the elements of the terrace house and response to the context of the neighborhood and environment was why I chose this house. I feel that it contains Classical ideas of order, proportion and ornamentation while incorporating modern concepts of transparency and materiality. The designer state “The main areas of investigation were Symbolism and Ornamentation, the Public and Private realm and redefining its boundaries, Solar Orientation, environmental sustainability and the programming of the plan.” I feel this are all criteria that I face in my design and feel that the firms investigation is a dynamic compilation of these elements and different strategies that i would like to explore.

Dorsey Residence/ Coates Design Architects What the Dorsey Residence lacks in its footprint, it makes up for in stature. This house makes the most of the surrounding views with a vertical orientation anchored into the hillside. The facade showcases three volumes within its cube-shaped silhouette - the main section clad in concrete, one finished in wood, and one in grey panels sitting at ground level. The expansive glazed rear facade gives this monolith a lighter, more contemporary edge while framing the Olympic Mountains and the waterfront just outside. From Resposable Design-Coates Architecture
“The fortress-like feel of the exterior is in sharp contrast to the interiors, where a bright, open and spacious layout is flooded with natural light. The glass wall opens the main living area onto a large cantilevered deck overlooking the nearby water and connecting the home to nature. The kitchen is a warm, earthy hub for family gatherings and memorable meals.� Micheal Coates, Architect
I choose this precedence based on its use materiality, small footprint and use of modern elements. Wood and steel work together to create a harmonious composition. tripartite organization works with modern clean elements and deliver a sense of place, of context with the building in the forest.

Architects: Brooks + Scarpa Location: Los Anglos, CA
Creating a dynamic and changing facade to enhance the public realm while retaining privacy
Cherokee Mixed-Use Lofts is an urban infill, mixeduse, market-rate housing project. At Cherokee the main architectural feature of this project is the building’s ownercontrolled operable double façade system. By allowing the occupant to adjust, at will, the operable screens of the building façade, the facade is virtually redesigned “live” from within the space, reflecting the occupants of the building within, in real time. The screens also enhance the existing street scape and promote a lively pedestrian environment. By visually breaking up the façade into smaller articulated moving elements, the building appears to move with the passing cars and people.
The building is inspired by the series of paintings by the British artist Patrick Hughes titled, “Prospectivity”, whose paintings appear to be ever changing and physically moving while being viewed.
The perforated anodized aluminum panels of the building creates an ever- changing screen that sparkles in the sun and glows at night, while simultaneously providing shade to cool the building, reducing noise, enhancing privacy, and still allowing for spectacular views, great natural light and ventilation from ocean breezes which pass through its millions of perforations even when all panels are closed. South-facing screen walls filter direct sunlight that lends unexpected visual depth while creating a sense of security for the occupants. Enhancing the structure’s geometric texture, the irregular array of movable openings variably extrudes from the building’s surface. Its unique architectural form and integrated function creates a high-performing building that is an expression of the people who live there and the environmental and cultural context in which it is built.

Facade Movement
I choose this precedence because of its use of a modern material to address solar conditions on a site while creating a dynamic street condition. The use of a modular panelized system also fit in with my design aesthetic to create a modern building that juxtaposed the sites predominantly Santa Fe styled / Pueblo styled buildings.

Concept: Breaking the box I created a grid on a 7’ system and broke from that grid to articulate the views available from the building. “Architects can’t force people to connect, it can only plan the crossing points, remove barriers, and make the meeting places useful and attractive. “ – Denise Scott Brown I sought to create a space that was a backdrop to the lives of the students. The focus was on the views and lifestyles, this created a subtle building arose from this concept.

Appendix B
Building Type: Small Scale Tower
The Site: The West end of the outh courtyard of the Redondo Village Apartments on the UNM campus where an existing “Hut” is located.
The Program: The architecture program is to increase the capacity of what the existing “Hut” provides for its residents at least three fold by adding more space for meetings, studying, and recreation.
Narrative:
Students from around the world come to the University of New Mexico seeking education. These students leave everything behind in pursuit of knowledge, which creates a need for amenities that mimic home on campus. The University strives to meet this needs by providing amenities outside of the existing student housing but within the campus. The current Hut, the student amenities building for Redondo student housing, is an underutilized facility. The driver of my design was to create a space that provided all the necessities with a home like environment that fosters student’s wellbeing while framing and celebrating the natural amenities provided by the location. The location of the Hut offers beautiful views of the Sandia Mountains, the historic route 66 and the lively activities of Johnson Field. Albuquerque offers 300 days of sunshine and an opportunity to enjoy the weather was a strong driver in this project. The design seeks to offer students a quiet place to read and study that meets every individual’s unique. The Casa @ UNM offices a variety of private study areas, available 24 / 7 , a state of the art vending Machine cafeteria, and a unique viewing area of the Sandia mountains. The project sought to retain the existing amenity of the grass lawn, opting to keep a compact building footprint. The aesthetics of the project are derived from an inclination to create a dynamic contrast from the surrounding built environment. The building expresses the structure in the envelope and uses it to reinforce the verticality of the project. This is in contrast to the surround buildings that follow an interpretation of the traditional New Mexican architecture, with stucco walls and horizontal stature.
