A stretch of Waller Creek Type: Academic teamwork Role: Site plan and section rendering and "Loop" design Insturtor: Allan Shearer Date: Fall 2012 Site: the University of Texas at Austin, Texas

Key words: Line Corridor The studio was asked to re-imagine the Waller Creek Corridor on The University of Texas at Austin campus. This presented a unique opportunity to introduce a new type of corridor to the campus that would redefine Waller Creek as the baseline around which this campus is travelled and experienced. This also provided an opportunity to rewrite the storyline of what it means to live, and work within this university.

This Stretch of Waller Creek on the campus is a portion of a larger creek system, that attempts to stretch the presence of the creek, and perception of the creek within campus and people’s daily lives. We redefine the required objectives with the concept of lines. We state that the lines of the creek corridor are not mere pieces of geometry. Lines make place happen. They work together to strengthen the creek corridor.

the LOOP

The highlighted four sites along this new baseline -- the Knot, the Bend, the Loop and the Turn, were chosen based on their potential to stretch the currently neglected creek out into existing buildings, green space and transportation network, thereby addressing the stated objectives. Each of the site is fully considered for future development along the creek by creating activity spaces, shaded pathways and wildlife viewing platforms. These future developments include the new complex for the Cockrell School of Engineering at the north end of this corridor and a light rail route along San Jacinto Boulevard. In addition, this project proposes a new Visitor’s Center for future students at the south end of the creek corridor.

The studio asked to re-design the burnt site in Bastrop, Texas. This presented a unique opportunity to interpret the relationship between nature and human. The design intended to minimize the construction disturbance by concentrating on cemetery programs at the center of the site. We focused on changes of different layers--changes on material details, elevation and sense of space to create varied special experiments.

The site to be designed, Kulturforum, is in the center of Berlin, Germany. The aim is to propose an idea for the completion of the Kulturforum and to develop this idea with various programs to encourage more people to engage this site. My strategy is to transform the original abandoned plaza into a sloped "big ramp" echoing the existent ramp close to it, serving as a festive square for popular art. In addition, some changes in adjacent places make the site a integrated entity.

Program Diagram

Our studio pays much attention to Arroyo Zatacal, a river located in the undeveloped communities. People living in the neighborhood are facing big problems. As undeveloped communities, both sides of the river lack various programs for recreation and social activities. Besides, the flood in the rain season discourages people to enjoy the riverside experience. The design is to not only help promote the life quality but also provide efficient methods to prevent the neighborhood from flood in the rain season.
