National Museum of Women’s History Fall 2012
Washington,DC National Museum of Woman’s History Competition Instructor: Karen King Comprehensive studio design Team: Stacey George (Project Manager) C.Treme, A.Reddick, D. Osuna
The National Women’s History Museum’s (NMHM) vision is to build a world-class museum at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The National Women’s History Museum currently raises awareness and honors women’s diverse experiences and achievements through its dynamic online museum, educational programs, scholarship and research. The National Women’s History Museum will be the first museum in any nation’s capital to show the full scope of the history of its women and will serve as a guiding light to people everywhere. Museum location: 12th Street and Independence ave. 1 block south of the National Mall 4
With this directive in mind my team sought to create an iconic building that would serve the NWHM committees goals. The site offered a strong force that pushed the building down into the site. The subject matter of woman’s history was seen as breaking,Emerging from the earth; prominently forcing itself into the conscious of our nations capital. Design directives of this project included a inhabitable green roof, water collection,Storm water management, integration of a theater, museum, cafe, library and curratory spaces.

Project Modeling Fall 2012,
Wall section model of proposed Nation Womens History Museum
Project modeling Instructor: Karen King Re-engaging Physical Modeling
Digital technology is allowing students and designers to explore new areas without restraining their imagination in order to produce build-able complex design. Students now produce very accurate computer models as part of their design development, but struggle to recreate them physically for further analysis and improvement.
Exploded Axonometric Section: Detailing Structural considerations and Mechanical considerations. Mechanical: Underfloor Air Distribution (UFAD) with perimeter feed
This studio sought to reconnect students with the physical. The result was an acute understanding of construction and a developed critical thinking skills.
Structural: Given the weight : 45 psi for green roof type Extensive roof,66 psi snow load and 24 psi rain load a Steel Space frame was designed to allow a 12 foot clear height and allow mechanical to be integrated into the same space.

San Pedro Art Institute Spring 2010 ,
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Mixed Use Urban Infill Instructor: Sam Sterling Creation of Urban Infill
The project was created to facilitate an understanding of the specifics of the forces and conditions that created San Pedro Drive. Investigation of specific legal and physical manifestations of codes to further planning and lead students through a deeper understanding architecture. This project combined several critical issues: programming, planning, construction, corner solutions, privacy and public interaction and ownership. A specific focus was on housing typologies and their role in the urban fabric of San Pedro and to a larger extent Albuquerque.
10
My approach to this project was to create a shared identity that the neighborhood could interact with and enjoy. An artist studio was chosen to be a unifying object, a vessel for the community to share with each other and the larger city. The programming strove to create spaces that were quiet with the use of layering in the housing typology. The artist Gallery was oriented towards the west, were San Pedro Dr. Lay. Behind that was layer housing, giving the opportunity to allow interaction between the artist lofts and the gallery spaces. A grassy court yard provides a social place for the community to mingle.

Princess Theater Spring 2013
Tucumcari, New Mexico
Urban Infill Project Redesign of Princess Theater Instructor: Mark Childs The Princess theater has had a wide range of experiences and memories in its lifetime. Built in 1917, the Princess was the pride for the owners and the towns people. Under almost constant remodeling in the first half of its career , the Princess was a grand theater of its time, with a flared art deco style and beautiful glass tile facade. On February 21 The first fire struck the Princess down. The fire completely destroyed the interior. Never faltering, the theater was reopened in 1944, fully restored to its glory . In 1962, a second blaze tore through the princes on the exact day of it opening 45 years earlier, From that day until mid 1977 the theater sat vacant. One last showed was seen at the Princess in 1985. 12
Since then the theater has sat vacant , waiting like a silent sentential to serve the community again. OPPORTUNITIES: When entering the Princess theater, one is assailed with memories of stage and theater because the 1917 theater is loaded with historical memories and elements. The princes theater has the opportunity to evolve into a performing arts venue, rich in theatrical history and a desire to capture live artistic movement of the times and musical performances.

Just add chickens Instructor: Noreen Richards Architecture Engaging the Community Backyard chicken-raising and egg production is a culturally and economically appropriate measure for many residents of La Mesa and Trumbull Village neighborhoods. Participation by one hundred families in the ‘Just Add Chickens’ program is enhancing food security, empowering individuals, and support the celebration of cultural traditions. In the of Spring 2012, 14 UNM architecture students designed and built 7chicken coops for ECM and its community members These chicken coop ‘prototypes’ helped to develop an optimal coop design for convenience, durability, and affordability.

ACCESS TO NESTING BOXES
NESTING BOXES The project was created ACCESS to beTOshipped anywhere in the world. The kit would arrive in prefabricated pieces that would be easily assembled. Integration of structure, systems and program were very important. In many instances space for use was an issue.
Programing included a gardening space, storage, and chicken coop. The coop was intended to be used in pairs. The coop could produce eggs, vegetables and store items associated with these activities. This project incorporated new fabrication techniques, 3-dimentional modeling with strong emphasis on community engagement. S.GEORGE

Parquito / parking intervention Instructor: Micheale Pride Rehabitation of Street Parking Concept Convergence of private and public space to create a rich interwoven environment. This outdoor furniture allows public interaction while giving private investors, such as local business, food vendors or restaurants the ability to use the space to benefit themselves and feel adequately served. Made of recycled plastic and recycled steel the table is light weight, portable and easy to manufacture while still being durable.
18
A modular system can be developed from the existing modular of the pallets. The use of a recycled material benefits the community at large as well as the Downtown community. This will allow this Parquito to be produced fast and cost effectively. Fitting with construction cloth and water barrier will allow this modular component to become a water filtration system. Inclusion of plants will create a better storm water filtration system and enrich the public space of downtown Albuquerque.

Casa @ UNM Spring 2014,
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Amenities Tower at the University of New Mexico Instructor: Gabriela Gutierrez All inclusive studio project 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 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. 22
The location of Casa @ UNM offers beautiful views of the Sandia Mountains, the historic route 66 and the lively activities of Johnson Field. 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 aesthetics of the project are derived from an inclination to create a dynamic contrast to the surrounding built environment.
