Catalog

Architecture ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY HERBERGER INSTITUTE FOR DESIGN AND THE ARTS THE DESIGN SCHOOL

The Architecture program at ASU sits within the Design School (TDS), which sits within the Herberger Institute for the Design and Arts (HIDA). Our program is a “4+2,” meaning the undergraduate leads to a non-professional degree and the twoyear graduate MArch is our accredited degree. In the past three years we have grown from around 350 students and will have over 1000 in the next academic year. This growth is the result of a complete redesign of the program to align more closely with the mission of ASU:

ASU IS A COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIV ERSIT Y, ME A SURED NO T B Y W HOM W E E XCLUDE, BUT RATHER BY WHOM WE INCLUDE AND HOW THEY SUCCEED; ADVANCING RESEARCH AND DISCOVERY OF PUBLIC VALUE; AND ASSUMING

Welcome

FUNDAMENTAL RESPONSIBILIT Y FOR THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. To be radically inclusive means that we cannot teach the way we were taught. We need to rethink how we organize studio, how we schedule classes, how we use technology, and how we build the culture of our school. There is the often-repeated story of a dean standing in front of a first-year class who asks the students to “look to your left, look to your right.” The dean then continues to say, “they will not be here when you graduate.” We have shifted this message of failure, to be one of success. In the first-year lecture, students are again asked to look to their colleagues, but are now asked to help them to be there when they graduate. This catalog is the result of collective work of almost 1000 people. I would like to thank all of our students, faculty, and staff for your tremendous work, perspective, and resiliency over the past months. It is amazing to see all you have accomplished!

challenged this semester, as a designer, as a builder, and as a team member. One of the biggest lessons taken away from this semester is the importance of teamwork. There is power in recognizing the strengths of others, and relinquishing dominion over certain responsibilities. I’m looking forward to expanding on these lessons and growing further as a designer. — Randy M. Johnston

Throughout this course we were able to integrate different skills whether it was Photoshop, autocad, or even photography. I personally enjoyed the first module as we had to be a part of the images we took and through the use of photography we were able to capture the beautiful shadows of a piece of architecture in our image. Being able to appreciate and capture moments impacted by architecture was very interesting and insightful. — Jacqueline King

ARC 101 was a terrific class that has opened my eyes to the importance of the design principles. The projects were enjoyable to complete and helped give a better understanding of how, when, and why to use specific design principles. It has helped demonstrate the importance of detail and how minor details can change a project from mediocre to excellent. The class has also changed how I view the world through the three simple shapes of a circle, triangle, and square. I can wholeheartedly say that ARC 101 has opened my eyes and helped knock down barriers to help me become a better designer. — Michael Pifer

ARC 101

This semester in ARC 101 studio I learned how to collaborate. After months of staying home, not doing many projects it was challenging but also beneficial to my experience as a designer, to work with others. By doing activities around campus, I’ve noticed more about the lessons of each module, such as the spaces in shapes of a square, the programs within the library as a study space, and the tectonics of the materials like in courtyard spaces. Through the studio I can see how design elements are incorporated into a project. Like how there is balance on a wall between door and window space, or contrast in adjacent materials. Studio pushed me to think in a visionary way, and to picture my project before its completion but adjust as needed for practicality....As designers in this studio I felt creativity surrounding me, but also support from my peers as we all worked hard to meet the expectations of the assignments...I had a fun semester in ARC 101 studio and I’m looking forward to continuing in the Architecture program. — Sabine Dieter

My favorite part about this course is that it makes us view things from an architectural perspective. As well as our projects being integrated with nature really helped us view how things like how color and texture blend in with the landscape...Module 1...Built a proper foundation of my knowledge in graphic design which really helped me throughout all of the rest of the modules, it taught me how dimensions, color, shadow and light source all play an effect into seamlessly a product blends in to itself...Module 2... The wind, puddles and other factors we had to deal with when making the actual floor plan really shows how in buildings, problems can come up during the practical process...Module 3...Walking around seeing the different tectonic textures was fun...Being an architecture major really helped me see how buildings serve a community and its people, being an architect is more than creating buildings, and I never realized how selfless the profession is. — Athoub Hesham Yusuf Ali Hasan

So, I am a lover of anthropology, and when I think of this past semester I am reminded of a theory in Anthropology called the Sapir Whorf hypothesis which states that as we learn more of a new language, our perception of the world becomes influenced by the culture of that language. Not just in this class, but also in our ARC11 course can we see this at work. Sorry if this topic is a bit esoteric, but in each of these classes we were given a variety of new vocabulary that was added to our lexicon, and I’ve noticed (and hopefully so have you) that the way in which I’m looking at the world has started to change. I’ve begun to question design choices and see details I hadn’t thought to look for before. Moving forward, I can’t wait to see how reality is warped further with each semester, and I can’t wait to see it all with you! — Curtis Horger

My favorite of the three modules was module three. Module three was my favorite because it was the kind of project I was looking forward to doing in the architecture program. I got a real feel of creating physical projects as an architecture student. Even though I spent days working on the triangles, along with my partners, it was very fun. I was very happy with the end results. We were able to create a strong and sturdy castle with a cool name. This is an image I captured from the time-lapse I recorded while assembling the castle. As you can see in the image, I am explaining to Prof. Felipe Mesa the design of the castle and the pattern for the perforate on my computer. He was walking around seeing all the projects and he saw our design and it caught his attention. He said he really likes our design since not many people picked circles for the perforate. — Jesus Soto

Completing this first semester changed the way I view the world. From discovering what “space” is and what it can contain, to figuring out what “program” can be found within a simple circle and finding tectonic textures from the facades of different structures, made me realize design is everywhere. All around us there is design in the simplest things such as a wall, and I believe this semester I saw, “the uncommon beauty of common things” (Charles Eames)... After graduating high school, I had different career paths I wanted to take. Each figure standing is a representation of those career paths. The object replacing my head is a camera lens. The camera lens represents how when you look through a lens, you see different angles to try to get the perfect photo or in this case, fall into the perfect career path. The figures wearing the camera lens exemplify how I have yet to take the perfect photo. — David Zamora

ARC 101

As my journey began at ASU, I thought of only simple drawings and measurements as my first experience. I’ve come to realize that architecture is not about simple ideas but about the complex imaginations. It is a puzzle in which one’s imagination is challenged to develop the best design one out of many possible designs. In our world, architecture is the solution to our environment, our community and our home. There are many forms and designs that can be improved over and over again without being wrong. The discipline that architecture demonstrates to all of us is great because every line that is drawn onto our paper is a reference. Every reference must be perfect and for that, architecture will get us to be perfect. — Andres Chavez

This studio was a huge enlightenment when it came to expanding and exploring our creativity. We began to understand that it was important for us to push our boundaries and develop as individuals. Enjoying the chaos of our first semester of architecture school taught us how to manipulate space and what we learned from this class most importantly is how to be more critical and intentional with all of our projects. — Ricci Johnson and Javier Fimbres Barcelo

I would first like to thank Professor Spellman, Professor Rocci,Professor Mesa and all the TA’s for the work they put in to help us start our major and eventually our careers. I remember the very first project we had, here I was with 300 other students in a room where we had absolutely no idea what to do...We talked a little bit about our studies and what I hope to accomplish here and even after ASU...need to question and study everything I see in architecture just the same as I did in those 5 minutes...Right now, we are just making our foundation of what is to be a beautiful piece of work, whatever that work may be for you it will tell a story, not only to you but for your community...I met some amazing people and got to do a little bit of everything we have learned so far. Aside from the wind blowing our hopes and dreams away, I had a good time. Something I have learned this semester that will stick with me forever is the purpose of space and how we use it...incorporate that space into my programs to make my designs meaningful... thanks to everyone here... — Austin Ellsworth

This course was extremely informative, engaging, and unique; it provided me with knowledge through projects that captivated my interest in architecture which allowed me to start to think like a designer. I learned a lot about program, space, and tectonics through the projects and assignments, and the support I received from my group mates, my TA Jacob Jones and my professors was remarkably helpful. As a Barrett Honor student, being able to work closely with the professors on my honor’s contract opened up the possibilities for my future studies as this course had allowed me to think about my future and about what I really am interested in. Thank you! — Nicholas David

The space created for this graft of the Lattie F Coor Building will become a place to be seen. Along with becoming a connection to the nearby site of Nelson Fine Art Center. An Amphitheater like design on the edge of the basement level corridor will become a destination for students and faculty. Emphasis will be placed with a stage space illuminated by an oculus above connecting both ground floor and basement. On the ground floor crystalline concrete forms surround the oculus acting as an artful centerpiece.

The goal of this project was to graft onto a building that is located on ASU’s Tempe campus. The building I decided to choose was the Lattie F. Coor building. After walking around it and noticing all the different lighting, sounds and human movement. I then thought that this area would be a great place to display art as many students come here to just hang out or do their homework as it’s a very busy area. With that being said, the inspiration that helped me design this project would be the impressive Van Gooh experience. As I wanted to make a series of planes projecting art while still adding depth and volume.

Enclosed between the large and looming buildings of The Design School, the graft gives sanctuary to those who are unable to find a sense of calm as they walk up the long ramp to class.

MIA BUCKNER

To contrast the cold, chaotic breeze way of the Lattie F. Coor building, this graft provides a set of three raised, peaceful spaces above the basement stairs. The height of this project separates the student from ASU’s busy campus, but still allows for a visual connection. The first room is for viewing, and the second and third are smaller spaces to sit and think. The three spaces are connected by netted pathways, where you can sit or climb above the students using the original basement staircase below.

The Nelson Fine Art Center has the capability to engage every visitor and presents them an opportunity to experience endless possibilities. The modernized desert, color exterior has an attraction that reminds me of the Great Ziggurats. I was enthralled by the idea of adventuring a pyramid temple that connects the heavens and earth, which would soon serve as a place of comfort and prosperity. Nelson would continue to be an oasis that opened our imagination.

The existing site that I choose to graft onto is Skyspace: Air Apparent by James Turell. I designed a tunnel in which ASU students or local citizens can interact. The graft contains screens on the inside walls in which students can interact, part of the design is climbable which allows people to get on top of the structure.

ANDREA GARCIA

My idea was grafted onto Turrell Skyspace as a place to be alone. Skyspace is a place to find peace after a long day of school, when in Skyspace all other noises are cancelled out. This is why I decided to graft onto the landscape of Skyspace and make a space to be alone. For this project I focused on how the light shines through my building. The small apertures help filter the light and protect the users from the harsh Arizona. This is a place to feel comfortable and being comfortable with little light coming through.

Grafting was a great opportunity to visualize and design a space which would ignite curiosity in people and inspire them to be mindfully present in the moment. I wanted them to enjoy the sky’s beautiful changing colors, watch the moon, and pick their favorite star. A place where they could enjoy the art and observe the play of light without getting interrupted by their cell phones or stresses of daily lives.

A space for students to be inspired, to relax and unwind. The graft is located between the north and south design buildings at ASU in Tempe. It is more than a structure; it resembles an abstract diamond, a sculpture like building that provides casual spaces for students and staff. Constructed of clear and mirrored glass;it is sophisticated on its own while complimenting and maintaining the history and integrity of the existing buildings and site by reflecting the surrounding environment. Due to the limitation in size, it was important to select a material that allows natural light into the space. The clear glass helps the space feel open and bright, while the reflective mirrored glass provides shade, privacy and a sense of mystery. Finally, several openings allow for natural air circulation that help keep the space cool during hot summer days. In addition, the site provides limited exposure to the sun due to the height of the surrounding host buildings including the design bridge.

ALA 225

ABIGAIL LOAR

This design focuses on the natural phenomenon of the walkway in the basement of The Coor Hall building. Utilizing the section plan that our professors have provided to us, I added on my own design leading from the stairs all the way throughout the hallway; the end result leading to a large bamboo tree at the end of the hallway. However, I created a more visually appealing look to the hallway so it becomes an adventure as one walks to the tree. This look consists of more pillars, included with the existing pillars that are already there, and an extravagant wood design with the intentions of mimicking the random sequence a forest would provide. I wanted to emphasize the natural phenomenon by creating a sense of forestry which replaces the plain, grey walls in the hallway.

ALA 225

SAMANTHA LOCK

From the Graft project I chose to work on the Graft Schematic Design to show the development of my work. The program I picked was “A Place for Display ‘’, because it highlights the importance of displaying art in an open setting allowing it to be seen and appreciated by an audience. In my model, I wanted to create shapes of different sizes to evoke open spaces and close ones where people can pass through. I then decided to add artifacts to my model, for a more realistic nature of a building. I achieved this by adding trees with people standing, sitting, and looking at the building. I believe these features go well with my model because it gives it a realistic style of what typically surrounds a building and how it is displayed in a place.

The existing space/building I chose to graft onto is the ASU Social Sciences building. I chose to construct a meditation space, connected to the building but also isolated enough for private use . The space is a setting surrounded by greenery for a serene, natural feel to provide peace for the inhabitant. The sitting is in the middle, and the entrance is an open doorway so there is still a sense of openness to the space as well.

At the end of the harsh form and dull complexion of the Nelson Fine Arts Center, this graft provides a natural experience for visitors and offers a sense of relief upon entering, because of the internal cool, fresh, and green environment. Visitors are able to experience a much different atmosphere than that of Nelson Fine Arts Center and its surroundings. It inspires people to experience a natural phenomenon and have a whole new view and experience of this structure.

Hi my name is Eve Romero and for this assignment we were asked to imagine a relatively small structure that would be grafted onto one of the existing campus buildings. I decided to graft my design onto the Lattie F. Coor hall building here at ASU. My program for this assignment was a place for play. I wanted to design a space where people could come and relax and interact with the design itself.

I don’t think I’ve ever built something so intriguing even for my eyes as, from a lay man’s perspective, this is just a tree house situated in the middle of the Skyspace without a proper explanation of its construction. Well, I made this with the thought of being alone and secluded from the rest of humans and get more in terms with nature and the beautiful atmosphere which is a privilege in this era. The tree house is inspired by a bird’s nest due to its height and because a higher altitude gives unlimited peace for a short while. “ A place to sit and relax alone without any interruptions” — Mahika Roy

This graft that I have created is meant to help people clear their minds to finally be able to think. It would be grafted onto the exterior third-floor of the Farmer Education Building on the ASU campus. When creating this, I knew I wanted to utilize nature and view as inspiration for my design. Knowing that, from research and personal experience, these concepts are tools for relaxation and mind clearance. I incorporated a view, but it’s a view of just the sky. I think by not having anything to look at, the mind would want to wander and think. In the end, I was happy and impressed with my design. I know that, if this graft were real, I would be able to come here and set free my thoughts.

As college students, we all sometimes want to escape and enjoy time as we did as kids. This space will help us experience movement and remind us of the inner child in all of us. This structure is grafted onto the Dixie Gammage which is connected to The Secret Garden. The tunnel connects to the north entrance of the building. The structure takes you through different types of movements, which start from regular walking then transitions to walking upstairs, which then take you through a tunnel of planks.

Lattie F. Coor Hall is one of the most significant public art projects on campus, with text fragments etched on its glass facade, lit floor “Breezeway,” and prominent “EXPLORE” sign that plays with light & shade. My goal was to create a space where people could engage with their thoughts. My addition is an octagonal structure with two floors that I placed in the southeast entrance between the ground and lower levels to accommodate each story. I aimed for people to have options among where and how they desired to think; above ground, with a view and relationship to the outside atmosphere, or below ground, where one can collect thoughts in a more secluded environment. With inspiration flourishing around the chosen area, it goes in saying that this thinking space could serve as yet another unique and beneficial addition to the Coor Hall community.

Simply called “The Room” I wanted my graft to be a simple but effective addition to the amazing art museum here on the ASU’s campus. The room is meant to serve as a place to display and view them in a different way to the other galleries in the museum. With several slants and unusual curves throughout, the room is fitted with several projectors and lights to produce an extrodinary and different feel to the room everytime.

My Grafting design being based at the Nelson Fine Art’s center is initially inspired by the Louvre pyramid in Paris, France. But it also contains its own biomimicry by emphasizing the point as spikes from a cactus and the two protruding areas as the fruits from the cactus. This pyramid’s design is coated in glass panels to provide light and view to the space meant to exhibit art pieces. To add flare to this design, it contains two rectangulars spaces. One serving as an enterance and the other serving as an exhibition space. The rest is entirely paneled by glass not only to provide different light and shadings in the building, but to also give a view of the outside of the fine arts center, since most of the original building is closed off with no windows to view the outside.

GRANT KUFFLER

While drawing out my first sketches for the Graft project, I realized I wanted to make a structure that was simple but also stand out. My initial thought process started with a rectangular prism. I believe the position and size of the interior rooms make up most of my project. My structure consists of a common area and three “study” rooms that will have a max capacity of three persons at a time. As I started making more progress on my project, I wanted to make it more personal. Each room is designed to reduce outside noise so the user can feel at ease and isolated from the busy university campus. Another idea I had, was to incoorporate natural lighting throughout the entire structure. Each study room has at least one window that will supply more than enough sunlight to make the user feel more open and relaxed.

ALEXIS LAMAR

Arizona State University has about 75,000 students on just the Tempe campus alone. During the week it can be overwheling and stressful to find a place to just sit down in a quiet enviroment and study. Although ASU has a five-story library, with plenty of tables and study rooms, it can be hard to find an empty table to sit down by yourself or even with classmates. So with my project I chose to add an addition to Lattie F. Coor Hall, as it can help create more space for students to study and work in between their classes.

The Social Sciences building is more ecosystem than building it seems. Full of all varieties of exotic plants and the soft bubbling sound of a fountain, this building feels like an adventure to enter, and so I wanted that adventure to continue within its walls. For this project, the assigment was to graft on a brand new space to this pre-existing building using the concept of the building and a program from a list. On the southern side of the building, I plan to implement a hybrid rock wall and study space which will follow the program to a place to play and to be alone. Atop a six foot wall will be two benches and a long window on three sides so that people who move through the space will be enticed to climb and see the view at the summit and reflect on their day.

Within the day, there are many students who wish to find a nice and quiet place to relax or study. The Secret Garden between Dixie Gammage and West Hall is one which is recognized as one of the most peaceful sites to go to relax. I chose to create my program, “a place to think great thoughts” to be located in the Secret Garden because it matched the environment that the Secret Garden creates. My structure is mainly inspired by colors, in which depending on where the student sits or stands they would see either the primary colors or the secondary colors. My intention behind this was to see life in different colors to inspire great thoughts

This is a space to be alone, and it will be located inside the open walk area of the social science building. Exotic birds will fly freely in the glass cage, which was inspired by a bird petting zoo. In my area, you will feel incredibly calm and at ease, and all of your worries will fade away.

My graft, the “Study Blocks”, on the outside of the Farmer Education Building will provide a new study space for all students to utilize. As you travel upwards through the three-story building, the rooms will become more quiet, allowing for a different study experience at each level. The first story has a similar concept to that of a coffee shop, with the most human movement and highest noise level. The second story will be quieter and will include flexible seating, while the third story will be the quietest with the inclusion of individual study pods. The graft will be made out of brick in order to blend in with the surrounding buildings and the host building. It will also include many floor to ceiling windows to allow plenty of natural light to illuminate the inside. Overall, the Study Blocks will provide a new and personalized study space for all students.

The extension of the ASU art museum beautifies a lost overgrown section of campus. By grafting an extension of the North Gallery, the space becomes revitalized with life and excitement. The inclusion of a viewable courtyard with a water feature provides a captivating atmosphere for those walking by. This gallery and courtyard space invites students in to observe the exhibits where students would simply walk by unaffected. Grafted into the existing floorplan of the museum, the extension is camouflaged in while still bringing a contemporary aesthetic touch not yet explored by the original museum. The asymmetric angular roof line emulates those found on the existing structure with the addition of cut out sections adding a new level of interest.

This building I chose to draft onto is the Nelson Fine Arts Center. This is “A place to be seen”. I wanted to create a space that would allow for people to explore and visit. This building consists of 4 levels and allows people to climb up and view the beautiful scenary at different levels. As well as allowing sunlight to be visible throughout each level and creating a more open environment. Throughout the design I have implemented multiple layers with stair cases to access each level. There will be seating areas for people to gather, chat and enjoy themselves within the building.

A Place To Think Great Thoughts: The Myrtle Parking Garage was designed as a single-use project that is meant for parking, but has the potential for more. The building has four levels that are enclosed with openings between each level in order for light to shine through. The top floor is in the open with solar panels above, which adds some shade. I chose this building because of the openness of the rooftop which creates a calm and quiet atmosphere. I want to take that feeling and add a purpose, a place to think great thoughts. By walking into the building with the openness of all the windows, bright openings, and large spacing to think without interruptions, people are able to slow down and take a second to collect their thoughts. This contrasts the rushed feeling the parking garage presents. There are also many benches and seating areas included in which the original garage lacks.

AJA SHAW

My grafting design was made for the Farmer Education Building. The central atrium of the building is four stories tall, giving students an exquisite feeling of being outdoors with all the comforts of being indoors. As for my graft, I wanted to maintain that feeling by making my graft light and open, but right in the middle of this existing space. When it comes to this graft’s purpose the platform is large (20’x20’) with wide walkways (5’) and meant to be an exhibit for sculpture and art to be viewed by people passing through the graft. With such an open concept design, anyone who wishes to use or walk across the graft will certainly be seen. And with “a place to be seen” I was sure to emphasize light as a part of my graft not only within the trapezoidal enclosure, but also underneath the platform to illuminate the first story.

SAVANNAH SHELABARGER

This semester’s focus was Biomimicry. The goal was to graft onto an existing space without redirecting the integrity of what was once before. Rather, by making additions to, can the same space have multiple and integrative purposes that it may not have had before. Through this experience, I have gained much knowlege on the use of the environment as a design tool, and much more about myself as a designer. Nature has taught me that there are no bounds to the greatness it holds and that design cannot be conformed to fit into a checkable box. There is also a fine balance one must come to learn, that function does not always come before aesthetics. Setting, style, and scheme may differ in each new opportunity, but one thing that never will is the strive for change and the need for design.

KADEN WOODRUFF

For my graft project I chose to work with Coor Hall on the ASU campus. Since Coor is a concrete and glass heavy structure, I wanted to enhance passerby and user experience by adding a more relaxing space. The narratives for my project were a place to relax, a place to be alone, and a place to study. Much of the inspiration for my design came from the characteristics of caves. The relaxing sounds of water, darkness, and the feeling of being surrounded. I incorporated these aspects by creating a dark overhanging structure surrounded by greenery and water, with a built in water feature to add the presence of sound. The structure is filled with tables and chairs as a place to study and has benches surrounding for those wanting a more private experience.

THE OBSERVATION DECK I wanted to create a space that allowed people the opportunity to experience a trademark natural phenomena of Arizona… The beautiful sunsets. In order to do so, I chose to graft onto the host building of the Nelson Fine Arts Center, being as I viewed the sky and Arizona natural beauty as an art within itself. My graft is a space that allows the individual to walk into an area, partially outdoors and partially enclosed, with no other distractions or purposes other than to view the amazing sunset, and at night, even the array of stars in the sky. Pictured is a 3D representation of that concept and its relationship to the Nelson Fine Arts Center. My space is a place for relaxation, observation, and appreciation.

My Graft “Thee Sky Shade” is located on the roof of The Lattie Coor Hall. The Lattie Coor Hall resembles a straight edge iridescent blue cube. It’s a sanctuary of collective studying and learning. To balance such high stress; I wanted to create a space to ease the minds of students. “Thee Sky Shade” is a circular structure made up of angled separated walls; covered by a wooden pergola designed for students to think & study. The angled separated walls not only allow for minimalist opening, nevertheless the space allows for an abundance of air flow. When students enter “Thee Sky Shade” they will experience glimpses of the ASU skyline. Also dynamic burst of natural sunlight from the spaces in the walls also coming from above. Tables will be located in the center of the structure to seat students to enjoy the ambiance of my graft “Thee Sky Shade”

The extension to the Nelson Fine Arts Center, is all about establishing and securing an identity within comfortability, which seems to be lost within the harsh elements within its shape, color and texture. Reasonably the Center was intended to communicate sentiments of nonappearance, void, and intangibility to further emphasize the art museum underground. By mixing in massively potted spheres, rough faded colors and Native American cultural art carved within its pavement, helps to excite visitors for what’s to come below. My addition to the above the center, takes it’s form from a Gazebo, floating 20ft above the ground supported by wooden columns and planted on the top stair of the wall and wonder trail. Allowing students to take a seat shaded from the sun, away from school life, in this backyard cabin inspired Gazebo. “A place for students to sit back, relax and chill” with fellow students, friends or colleagues.

My Pod means to provide deprived students “a relaxing space to take a break” from their studies to observe the natural world around them. The simple, rounded design of the pod insinuates smoothness and calm, helping promote a relaxing atmosphere where the main focus may now become the world which lies outside the large glass wall. Wooden stairs on the second floor of Design South lower occupants into an open space with a higher ceiling where they may free their minds and stretch their bodies; absent of the discomfort from a cramped design studio. Here, the sunlight is harsher and provides a little more warmth and clarity to those who need it. Separating both floors of the Pod from Design South are individual wooden doors which hang from and move along a rail, allowing easy and stress-free access to relaxation and peace.

On a campus like Arizona State University with so many students, study areas such as the ones found in the central atrium of the H.P. Farmer Education Building are always needed. The addition I present for the Farmer building, called “The Domes”, are study areas covered in wooden paneling, located on different levels, that allow for a new sense of privacy within their environment while still being in an open setting. These pods are not only to introduce new study spaces to the Farmer building but are also to create a familiar yet exciting twist to the environment that already thrives within the atrium.

The goal of this project was to create a graft on a host building. Skyspace is a public space where people can go to witness the natural phenomenon of sunrise and sunset. Similarly, my graft building is intended to be a place to “witness another natural phenomenon” – Monsoons. The concept for this project was to create a structure that offered protection from the storm while still giving the occupant the feeling of being in nature. The design of this graft was inspired by greenhouses and Biosphere 2. The graft contains an elevated platform from which users can view monsoons. The ground level contains a small pool that fills and recedes with the monsoon rains and well as containing lush vegetation. The steel frame structure with mounted glass can withstand the storm while being transparent enough to provide the feeling of being exposed in the storm.

A place to CREATE. A place to be alone, and recharge in the presence of natural phenomena. An exclusive place where creative minds can go to design in peace. “Inspired Creativity” takes place after a freeing walk from the breathe taking views that occur in Air Apparent beneath a naturally inspired pavilion. The structure itself features an elevated canopy-like space reminiscent of the treetops’. An open-air naturally bright area meant to open your senses, and help you to look outward while trying to inspire new ideas and create. This place is matched by a partially submerged area meant to relocate you to a more secluded head space to properly focus that creative energy inwards by helping to make you feel tucked within the safety of a dark forested canopy.

Currently, the Skyspace is used in a variety of ways, like a place to be alone and even to think great thoughts. I believe this location can be an excellent place to have a library that is curated around environmental architecture & design. The walls within this space provide ample room to place bookshelves while not taking away from the many places to sit. The walls of the structure are perforated with small holes that can be used to mount enclosed shelving units with bolts and nuts. The books are protected in a weather-resistant shelf that is made of recycled plastics. The bookshelves can even have paneling that can be opened to access the books, this can be solid or see-through. The structure has a floating ceiling with an opening that can be modified to have a sliding shield that covers the opening and protects the interior when it rains.

Skyspace: Air Apparent is an architectural design by William P. Bruder and artist James Turrell. The purpose of this design was to “enfold, complement and enhance the experience of the landscape as wells as the lighting and views”. Skyspace is primarliy focused as a social place for people to walk around and the garden is used to connected with nature by sitting within the trees. The way light moves thoughout sunrises/sunsets in this project complements the design and it is the primary focus. The building has small holes throughout the walls and a large opening on the top which allows the light to come in. The reason I chose to graft my project in this location was because I noticed this location was a pefect spot to work on homework or projects. The location was well connected to nature which allows students to de-stress and focus on their work, but the only thing it did not have was a private space with tables to work on. I designed two rooms that connencted to skyspace with the samel element

Being alone sometimes has a negative perspective, but we all need time by ourselves. Sometimes you get overwhelmed and need an area to take a breather.

At the beginning of this project we had to chppse a statement to describe the space. I couldn’t decide on just one statement for this space. It’s multi-use in many ways, it can seat upto 50 people yet, there isn’t much foot traffic going through the secret garden so it makes it the perfect place to go and chill. To either be with friends, or be by yourself. With a spring at the bottom you can enjoy the nature around you as well as hear the water bubbling out of the lowest part of this community space. I didn’t want to take away from the natural landscape around it which is why I decided to build the majority of the space underground. We live in Arizona where, especially in the summer, the sun can be deadly. So, I’ve built a dome on the south side to shade the seating area.

When creating the graft for Lattie Coor Hall, I decided to incorporate the program of a place to encounter a natural phenomenon. The idea being, to bring the natural world to the upper floors office setting. I focused on the sense of touch, vision, and hearing. Such as feeling the sun on one’s skin, seeing the surrounding greenery, and hearing the sound of running water. Which together, makes for a relaxing place away from the office. The concepts I studied were lighting, movement, and connectivity. I positioned the building in a manner in which it can allow enough sun rays, without producing discomfort. To keep the feeling of a natural phenomenon, I isolated the graft to a more private area, where cluttering is least likely to occur. Lastly, I keep the theme of the building’s geometry and materials, so that the graft feels as if it were originally placed there.

JASON CULLEN

Drawing inspiration from the previous assignment for the host building, I used the H.B. Farmer building in part to inspire the design. The grafted design is in the simple redering upabove, suspended in the center of the building with a myraid of possible purposes but mostly intended for someone to be alone. ASU’s Tempe campus is constantly surrounded by constant action during the school day with not to many chances to have quiet. The Farmer Building is unique, being one of two buildings on campus built with in interior courtyard and I saw an opportunity to make a design suspended by thick beams and a glass walk way. Walking into the building, you will feel a cool breeze and a really calming feeling with the asortment of blue, orange and green colors not only on the plants but as well on the chairs and tables. I wanted to replicate that feeling throughout the upper 3 floors due to a prision feeling with plain concrete walls and no windows to see inwards so I wanted that feeling as well as an area that isn’t plain, up there.

A PLACE TO THINK GREAT THOUGHTS For the final project of the semester, I decided to choose the program A Place to Think Great Thoughts. for my graft. Imagining a place that is all about exploring and doing what feels natural. A place designed for students to feel calm and relaxed. A place where the human instinct to connect with nature, is increased, improving the mental health, creativity, and energy of students. Using direct nature and indirect nature, natural light, for the purpose of achieving the environments’ full potential of becoming a place that allows for great thoughts.

The program of my space, which is grafted to the right and 10 feet below Skyspace, is to be a place to experience a natural phenomena and a place to think great thoughts. Initially inspired by Plato’s Cave Allegory, I designed this space to project the sun’s light from the oculus above onto the ‘cave’ walls below, where one could find things like statuettes and vases on planters, waiting for the sunlight to cast shadows across them. Here you can sit in a subterranean lounge and watch as the colors of the sky paint the room different shades and hues as the shadows of the artifacts interact and grow long as the day ends.

Ever since I was six years old, my grandpa told me “you’re going to be a great architect”. I will never stop creating ideas in my head of all the diffferent designs and plans I wish to create in the future. We all have a story behind our buidlings or designs, there are many reasons as to why we choose the materials we choose and we designed it the way we did and that’s what is so unique about every individual architect. I have always wanted to improve every single project I have done and that’s when the beauty of my passion for architecture comes out. This semester taught me patience and discipline, not only did I imporve in both but I also realized how much I’m capable of doing when I am dedicated and passionate about something. Architecture is not for the weak, it is for the hard workers, discplined, patient and passionate people. I will forever cherish every moment of designing, drawings, making, meeting professors, working with different classmates and TAs at ASU.

CHRISTIAN GOMEZ

This Project is one of my favorites because it’s where I discovered more about myself and architecture. I went from not knowing how to use the softwares to knowing how to make any design. In architecture I felt like I had an idea what architecture really was, until our critics came in to help explain what architecture really is. “To be an architect you design for the present, with awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.” - Norman Foster. In this project though I wanted to demonstrate a high rise environment where students can go to study and be somewhere where no other building in ASU offers. This project offered a beautiful sunset and a courtyard where you can be away from ground level and still be outside. I wanted to demonstrate a place where we can experience a natural phenomenon everyday (sunset). Where after a long day or stressful day, you get to experience a beautiful view to end your day.

As someone begins their so-called adventure to the “Desert Rose”, it’s fascinative design is definitely an eye-catcher. As it’s difficult to make out, but definitely leads to curiosity. The “Desert Rose”, isn’t only a place for its fascinative design, but it’s a place to begin a thought or an idea. Multiply places to lounge, and be inspired by the design or nature. As nature’s accounted into the design, it produces a root connection into nature, just like the design concept. The Desert Rose, a natural phenomenon and the overall development or creation of a Desert Rose occurs in wet and develops a magnificent crystallized “Desert Rose”.

My graft is located on Lattie Coor Hall. It consists of three floors of glass pods that can hold an indivdual and allows them to use the space however they deem appropriate. It is intended to be a place to be seen. ASU students are consistently sheltered in classroom settings where there are a few tiny windows to let in natural light and interact with the outside world. These glass pods allow for the opposite and give students a relaxed space where they can experience natural light as well as a place where they can see the outside world and the outside world can see them.

The Social Science Building on the ASU tempe campus is a place for learning and experiencing natural phenomenon. I want to expand the possibilities of the space as a place to gather and have great thoughts. The Social Scicnes building sits centered between Hayden library and Old Main. This building is a great middle ground for off and on-campus students. I want to create a space where students and faculty can go to work, observe, gather and inspire great thoughts. The space is two stories with a patio over looking Hayden lawn. The space will be vibrant with natural lightning but maintain a productive environment.

The program I am developing is a combination of “a place to encounter natural phenomena” and “a place to be alone”. The host is the Social Sciences Building due to the presence of the central courtyard that already exemplifies natural phenomena within the building. The courtyard is central in the building and has the most foot traffic. I will be expanding on this idea and creating a place within that you can experience solitude while staying connected to the current natural design. The structure will be both bamboo paneling and concrete to tie into the current building. Inside, there will be plants similar to those outside and nets that are designed to be used as hammocks and a place to relax and escape to within your mind, not just from the outside world physically. The open ceiling of the room will provide light borrowed from the canvas covered roofing of the courtyard in which it resides.

I had never heard of the Secret Garden located on campus before this assignment. After exploring it, I was intrigued by how well it is hidden and the serenity that I felt while observing it. That is why I chose to design a place located in the Secret Garden where a person or a small group of people can go to relax and observe what is around them. Inside, there are paintings and other artwork that decorate the room. The wall facing the east is made of glass and has an angle of depression of 45 degrees. The exterior view from the glass wall leads to a peaceful scene of the secret garden. A person inside the room can relax and observe the artworks on the wall or observe the secret garden from a different perspective.

My chosen host building is the 11th street parking structure, and for my graft, my chosen program is a place to encounter natural phenomena. After my site study, I noticed that there were nice views of the surrounding area from the top floor of the structure. To the east one can see a view of the campus and people walking below, while to the west, one can get a view of passing cars entering and leaving the structure and of Mill avenue. It is also a nice place to observe both the sunrise and sunset. For these reasons I chose to add my graft to the upper floor of the parking structure. It is a walkway that spans the width of the parking lot below; placing observers at an even higher vantage point and away from any vehicles to freely observe the surrounding environment, and to also take in natural phenomena such as the wind and sunlight. For the materials, I will use the same concrete as the parking structure, and metal for the shading structure over the walkway.

The Nelson Fine Arts Center located on ASU campus is a place for presenting art and performances. Straight lines give this host building rigid edges whereas the curves and cirlces in the graft provide a new, softer perspective. In this addition to the art center, one will be able to separate themselves above in the graft to think great thoughts. It can be viewed as the “Head” of the building where inspiration and thinking occurs for the “body” of art below.

My goal was to create a study space that is located in a natural environment, something that the ASU campus lacks. I decided to take advantage of the open space and isolation offered by the secret garden between Dixie Gammage Hall and West Hall. This secluded environment offers a quiet place to study, but upon further analysis it was missing items such as available seating and comfort from the elements. My graft aims to tackle these two issues while creating a space that can blend in with the existing site while still being its own entity.

Presented is a sculpture gallery space that is attached to the ASU art museum. The original building, the Nelson Fine Arts Center, was inspired by the Southwest. The walls and ceiling create shade patterns throughout, mimicking that of the Palo Verde tree foliage. Expanding on this idea, the form of my design mimics Palo Verde tree branches, serving as a canopy to regulate temperature, as well as referencing the FAC’s shadow forms. The gaps in the facade allow West-facing sunlight inside, dramatically altering the space and sculptures through shadow. This provides museum guests a new way to experience the exhibit depending on what time of day or year it is. The bench provides an area to sit for museum-goers to take their time watching these shadows change over each sculpture’s form. This community bench can also bring people together; much like art does.

The idea of my graft is an amphitheater outside of the Nelson FAC that represents the program, “A Place To Be In A Large Group.” This amphitheater can be used for any desired outside performances, concerts, speeches, shows, etc. I’ve chosen the FAC because I like the open lot it provides and the architectural look that it already represents. Since there are showcasings within the building, I believe this would be a good addition if anybody desired to have an event outside due to Arizona’s beautiful weather.

Positive thinking is a belief, a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words, and images that good things will happen and that one’s efforts will be crowned with success. A positive mind anticipates happiness ,health, joy, and a successful outcome of every situation and action. This works wonders like magic. This is a space that everyone can come to and make all positive thoughts by looking at the contrast of the sky from two perspectives. If you look at the sky from the third floor, the view will appear bigger. On the other hand, if you look at the sky from level one, the sky is small. The focus is the top circle, making sure you only look up above.

The Peak View project is a response to the nature, landscape, and community around itself. This project was designed in a way that each dwelling unit gets a view of Pinnacle Peak. Orientation of the units changes throughout the site according to the Pinnacle Peak on the west. At the same time, the sun exposure from the west was a challenge to the design. The units are designed with open spaces on each level to bring the desert landscape and feeling to each house. Each unit also has a view of the park in the center of the site designed for the public and community from their private balcony or patio area. Every two units share a party wall that makes an opportunity to have a green screen covered in vines for the balconies. This way every unit has its own private open space. Additionally, the green balcony vines are a way of minimizing the intense sun exposure.

The West 7 apartment complex is a four-story building oriented towards the north and south direction. The apartments are divided into 4 buildings, each building providing commercial space, living amenities, and living spaces. We incorporated outdoor catwalks and elevators to use as a barrier to distinguish the public space from the residential space while simultaneously creating safety and privacy for the residents. To mitigate the harsh solar exposure from the west sun, we wrapped a thin aluminum skin on the buildings. The “skin” reduces the amount of heat gain while providing an aesthetic. The ground floor on the west side is designed for commercial space. Our goal was to design a space that emerges from the indoor and outdoor environment and creates a connection of the two. Each commercial space is separated by an open green landscape. To reduce the amount of heat and promote functionality we added trees and benches for the public spaces.

Our project, the 7th Ave Canyons, is designed around the sun and it’s movements throughout the year. The building is rotated 30 degrees and utilizes shed-style roofs to provide a unique and efficient light exposure for the entire project. Our project has 3 different unit types for the different demographics for the people in the area: studios, two bedrooms, and three bedrooms. There are also courtyards at every duplex toward the east of the project to introduce landscape. Units on the west side bordering 7th avenue are three stories tall while the units on the east side are two stories. This is to ease into and pay respects to the historic neighborhood that is right next to our site as well as to also capitalize on the sunlight as well. The units are connected with walkways and stairways that run all throughout the project. Parking is located on the east side and can be accessed by the already existing alleyway.

The Collective on S Harris Drive located in Mesa, Arizona is a housing project proposal that was designed with the intent of maintaining the familiar qualities of suburban living present in the existing neighborhood with an added high density, split level housing characteristic. The project was developed around the idea of respecting the water detention attribute of our site and using that challenge to our advantage by creating a space in which a strong sense of community can flourish. There are a total of 28 units on the site which we have catered towards family living based on the area’s demographics. The site also hosts a green-roofed store lot that faces a communal garden area which would house a cafe market serving as a community gathering spot and amenity within walkable distance.

The Wash Ways Apartments is a sustainable housing project completely revolved around the natural desert landscape of Scottsdale. The design invites the nearby desert wash through a series of xeriscaping throughout the entirety of the site. The design aims to blur the lines of where landscape ends and structure begins. Each floor plan is designed to maximize views, sunlight, and interaction with nature. The roofs and windows are deliberately designed with regard to sun patterns and the intention of mimicking the surrounding trees and vegetation. Each building is built according to the topography of the site. ultimately allowing for a slope among the buildings and window arrangements that enable more privacy. Each parking space is accompanied by its own tree to create an illusion of parking in a forest. Each element of this design grants net-zero emissions and a design that physically dissolves into the desert landscape.

“Emerald Place’’ is a higher density housing structure designed for Mesa, Arizona. There are 40 units, each with a view of the adjacent park, solar roofs to keep energy bills down, and a private backyard. There are five different unit styles, ranging from a single story for the working individual all the way to a three story unit great for growing families. With the privacy of our units, these apartments begin to feel more like a house, synonymous to the existing neighborhood. Privacy was a very important thought process when we designed these units. Each window was placed methodically to give the best views and maintain the most privacy possible between each unit. The different story levels increase exponentially across the site to make sure every resident has a view while still being respectful of the neighborhood and creating a unique look.

The Vecino is a mediator between Downtown Phoenix and the surrounding historic neighborhood, creating an inviting space to bring the entire community together. The program of the building provides public amenities on the ground level that are adjusted to both the downtown lifestyle many residents are accustomed to, as well as adding value to the neighborhood near the site. This is accomplished by implementing a park and renovated alley on the east side with retail on the west. Residential floors are placed on the upper levels to create a private community for The Vecino residents. Changes in scale create a smooth transition into the neighboring historic district. Additionally, accommodations to sunlight and implementing landscape for environmentally ethical purposes result in the final design.

The concept of The Vecino links the community of Downtown Phoenix and the residents of the multifamily dwelling unit designed for the 7th avenue & Roosevelt site. An amalgamation of residential and communal spaces was a priority of the design thought process, this wasn’t meant to shy away from the pre-existing but rather engage in it. The structure is a 4 over 1 design where you can find retail and public spaces on the ground floor while the residents have an elevated living situation above the ground floor. This ensures the safety of the residents as 7th avenue is one of the major arteries for the valley to access Downtown Phoenix. The reimagined alleyway, which was previously underused along the neighborhood side of the site, has been transformed into an advantageous amenity added to the preexisting community. The concepts of the design gained throughout the semester has contributed to the structure which resulted after the constraints of the project.

Mesa Villas is our housing design in a developing urban community in rural mesa. The site has multiple schools and parks in the near surroundings. We started by better understanding the area and picked up on a few key elements we wanted to include in our design. The site is a retention site used to collect rainwater, so we designed parking to follow the excavation on the site. To keep the retention, we also developed an extensive gutter system to help direct rainwater to the retention drains. We then created platforms that would sit above the parking lot. These platforms would support the housing and provide shared communal space with the courtyard space between the houses. By connecting the homes and the shared space, our design creates a network of communities within a larger community. Overall, we believe our housing plan adds an excellent alternative housing option to the community.

Ascension is the culmination of several iterative processes to reach our goal of designing a contemporary, post-pandemic, live/work housing. The building is located just outside the heart of Phoenix, the mecca of business for Arizona. Hence, we focused on providing an environment that could allow young and new professionals to hone their skills and engage in networking that would ultimately ascend them to new levels of life. To fulfill the sense of community and networking, we designed the building to generate two central points to which all of our units face. The resulting ‘s’ shape of the plan view allowed us to incorporate leasable office spaces in which the tenants can collectively grow their networking and professional skills. features such as three different unit styles, leasable workspaces, personal storage units, a pool, and an outdoor gathering area, the building provides an allencompassing lifestyle necessary for our new postpandemic world

To add, the housing comlex is aimed for families with business backgrounds where they have access to meeting spaces and offices all around the apartment. Each of the 20 units display a variety of floor plan options, and work space to conduct your busniness. The site also offers 2 large amenity buildings that host a gym, grocery store, and many other useful businesses.

This community housing project is located in the arts district of Downtown Phoenix, Arizona at the intersection of West Roosevelt Road and North 7th Avenue. This project is meant to respond to its surrounding environment and provide amenities for the local population. During idea development, importance was placed on providing creators, artists, and small business owners a community to work together without having to leave the comfort of their home. Opportunities for people to create, display, and sell have been introduced throughout the entire project in public, private, and shared spaces.

Pinnacle Peak is a beautiful site to visit and live by. That is why during my designing process I aimed to protect the views of the mountain, as well as the surrounding desert scenery. 30X40 at Pinnacle Peak is a housing development that connects residents both to each other and their natural surroundings. I didn’t want to seclude residents from the desert, as that was one of the strengths of the site and one of the main reasons one might choose to live here. The site is meant to be very open and feel as if one is living in a park. 30X40 at Pinnacle Peak is a community of quiet, peaceful living. Just step outside or go upstairs to the community rooftop and take a breath of fresh air. Enjoy the views. Enjoy nature. Enjoy home.

Tetris on 7th Ave is a building I designed alongside my peer Jeramy Widener. It is located in Downtown Phoenix on W Roosevelt and N 7th Ave, south of the 10 freeway. In the beginning stages of developing this building, our main focus was to create a space that could be used not only for residences, but also with businesses and amenities. Stage two consisted of the overall geometry of the building, and for that inspiration was taken from the game Tetris and Legos, hence the individual blocks/pieces that make up the building. This design adds privacy and individuality to each unit. They are pieced and exposed, and each unit has more freedom due to each “block” per se, is your own unit. Only one wall is shared with a neighbor. Our main goal for this structure was to bring a sense of nostalgia with the design and create a space with individuality while still being a unified building.

Tetris on 7th was designed with the downtown city life in mind. Located on 7th Ave and Roosevelt, it is comprised of studios, 1x1, and 2x2 floorplans with two variations per unit plan. It is 42-unit complex with four floors and a staircase/elevator between each building. The idea behind the Tetris or Lego design was to introduce individual unit spaces that aren’t accompanied by neighbors or heavy circulation, giving the unit its own individuality. The staggered look sets it apart from the neighborhood around it, however we used materials reflecting the Roosevelt Historic District found in the homes nearby. Our site is just minutes away from the arts district on Grand Ave and ASU downtown Phoenix campus. The first floor of the complex are retail and small business spaces available to rent to replicate the downtown esthetic and walkability. Look no further than Tetris on 7th for a more desired luxury and urban setting.

Located in the center of the ever-growing Downtown Phoenix, Torus apartments are meant for comfortable living and community building. The apartment caters to graduate students and young professionals with unit layouts housing up to three bedrooms. The apartments feature spaces for retail on the ground floor, a four-story outdoor garden, a rooftop pool, and other amenities. The apartment structure focuses on indoor-outdoor living with every unit having its own patio and outdoor hallways. Shade is an important component for residential spaces in Phoenix so this is provided in many ways, such as the exterior blade walls and the slanted shape of the building. The south building features a communal area for students with desks to study on and ping pong tables to socialize. The importance of being active is not forgotten as there is a gym for residents featured in the structure. A sense of community is crucial for young adults so the residence contains multiple places for gathering.

This semester pushed us as architects and began our journey in the space of residential buildings. We were tasked with an empty lot in Mesa and had to create a multi family housing complex. We chose to make a variety of houses for families with small children since there is a lovely park nearby and an elementary school within safe walking distance. This space allows families to have a comfortable way to raise their children while not having to purchase a house if they are unable to. The process allowed us to explore our creative side while learning what a real architect would have to deal with in the professional world. All in all we had a successful semester and I am grateful for the opportunity to grow as an architect.

Our project was designed with the intent of building community amongstits tenants while also allowing privacy amongst those they are living with. With our housing units being placed directly next door to a school and neighboring a pre-existing neighborhood, we did not want to move forward with a design that was too distracting from the already developed environment; we wanted our design to feel as if it belonged.

The Emerald Apartment building is a multifamily housing project in Mesa. The project features two parallel buildings with a large rectangular courtyard in between. In the courtyard are many randomly placed walkways which exist on both the first and second floor, acting as catalysts for circulation to the many amenities and shade for the ground floor, where there is space for a multitude of outdoor activities. When the walkways intersect the buildings, they translate into vertical strips of window that wrap around and become skylights for the second-floor apartments. The project emphasizes quality of light and balancing the mass of concrete with the thin glass skylights and window strips that wrap around the structures.

Emerald Apartments is a collaborative project designed by myself and Chance Breeggemann that focus on creating a multi-family housing complex in Mesa with unit plans and amenities. It is designed for those who want to stay distant from the city and settle for a friendly neighborhood with a park and school for children. It consists of a total of 44 units, 28 from the 1st floor and 16 from the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor units are ideal for families because it has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, with 2 private balconies and private courtyard open to the sky. The biggest component to this project is the central part between the 2 masses of the L shape buildings, a complex walkway that have various paths connected across each unit from one around. After the walkways touches the unit, it turns to a straight, long stripe of glass that serves as a skylight for the 2nd floor, is set along the party walls of each unit and continues down as window for the 1st floor units, a 1 bed 1 bath unit. From creating the walkway on the 2nd floor, this language of cutting and slicing became the main rule going for this housing complex.

The focus of our project this semester was on the views accompanying the site, both to the Northwest towards Pinnacle Peak but also to the Southeast towards Troon Mountain. Using the windows to frame the area round, to appreciate the local landscape very close by both on the property and in the surrounding area. While views were important, we also wanted to promote a more active lifestyle within the community, along with the local hiking trails, we added the fitness center and the yoga room to the property to give the spectacular views but to also be able to get the active lifestyle close by on the grounds. These areas on the property also framed its views to the natural landscape around allowing for a more relaxing area.

This is a floorplan I came up with while working with my partner for the 2021 fall semester. There are 12 units depicted in this photo. There is also an amenities building and a leasing office. One building is full with three bedrooms and two baths. The other building has two bedrooms and one bath. The building that has two beds and one bath has two different types of units. The shape of one can be described as a T with both bedrooms in the corners and one bath in the middle of the rooms. The other unit is an L shape. The kitchen bleeds into the living room and the beds are tucked into a corner in the unit. The unit with three beds and two baths is very different. All the rooms can be found in the back, side by side. This unit is more private and enclosed.

It’s perspective is a view that many cars and people will past throughout their day. Some may live in the building itself and see the outside whether that is from the balcony of the North and South units, or from the open windows from below where the shops will be. This multi-use building will not only provide amenities for the residents, but also provide various shops for the public as they will bring more life to the structure itself. This will then create more opportunities for people to inhabit the space and fill the darkness with life.

Serenity Retreat is a multi-family residence with 30 units, a restaurant and courtyard that focuses on the views as well as creates an ambiance of a serene landscape and environment. The words calm, escape, desert and serene, were referenced in the designing process to demonstrate a meaning behind the raw material and nature integration that can benefit not just the residence but the environment as well. Thus, creating a desert rooftop with a ramp to access the rooftop to appreciate the view, and the application of dry stacked stone around the water feature, which ties to the mountain landscape. Water which gives a sense of calm and serenity, and grass and stone which allows people to walk on and connect to nature. Lastly, we have rammed earth walls encasing the courtyard and units. The glazing structural system allows for light to highlight the room as well as admire the materials.

Come to the serene desert landscaoe near Pinnacel Peak to escape from reality in the lap of luxury and nature. Serenity Retreat is a multi-family residence that uses raw materiality and integration of nature to create a natural sanctuary. However, the experiential value is where Serenity Retreat truly shines by providing the perfect location to be in touch with all of one’s senses. Its exclusive views of Pinnacle Peak mountain are what inspired the organic form and it’s desert materiality to encompass desert serenity. The use of rammed earth (recycled earth from on-site excavation soil), is a structural and aesthetic tool. These large rammed earth walls define the building’s character through creating interior and exterior moments to enjoy these 2ft thick desert soil walls. The large courtyard in the core of the site allows for a large entertainment area with optimal Pinnacle peak views. Serenity Retreat provides a beautiful opportunity for people to get out of the city to sit back, relax and enjoy the view.

Our group wanted to make a statement with this project by combining the old with the new. Having a building that displays the art of those who live or work at Ikon to the surrounding community, while housing and creating a centerpoint for people to come and experience it.

Incubate—a place one can create, conceive, and curate their artistic ideas without the interruption of transitioning to a different geographical place. The majority of the downtown Phoenix arts district is bustling with creatives, filled with multi-use integrated developments, and full of inspiration. On the other hand, areas around W Roosevelt ST & N 7th AVE lack those qualities. This project aims to solve that through the vertical integration of the artistic process that combines 4 levels in an all-inclusive building. Residential units occupy the top two floors seemingly “floating” on top of the second level, the incubator level. The incubator is dedicated to creation and inspiration by providing creatives the space they need to explore their artistic imagination. This building will act as a beacon for the underdeveloped area of the arts district, as well as establish a headquarters for inspiration and creation within the greater Phoenix area.

What I wanted to accomplish for this project was an oasis in the heart of residential downtown Phoenix. An area lacking in walkability and fresh resources, but surrounded by monthly cultural arts festivals, could have the opportunity to bring the community closer together through the addition of an adaptive reuse residential area that includes a central, natural courtyard. This would not only provide a fresh green space for residents but would connect the units to an adapted marketplace to provide fresh groceries to the area; it gives the opportunity to enjoy a meal just purchased downstairs, hidden from the rest of busy and noisy Phoenix. This would encourage a shift in living for Phoenicians, continuing to accomplish a more walkable and closer community in an already transforming cultural district.

Our idea of the project is to build a sustainable and relaxing community for new and small families. This picture is how the interior space looks like when people enter the house. The large floor-to-ceiling window allows natural light to go through the living room and kitchen. People can view the landscape outside when sitting in the living room. The color tone under the sunlight is warm which makes the atmosphere of the house become a peaceful place to relax after a long day of work and study. The kitchen and living room are not separate so parents can still interact with their children or guests while cooking. The ICF exterior wall would also lower the electric bill of residents and protect the house from small fires, which provides a safe place for the families to stay.

We wanted to create a multigenerational family housing that encourages families to be a part of a bigger community named The Lineage. The Lineage is set up to have 3 units stacked on top of eachother all being interconnected via a single rooftop patio. Each unit has its own experience that we wanted to create having the opportunity to go to the rooftop patio to see the rooftop garden and the community surrounding. These units are set up in a cluster that is then mirrored around the site creating a larger community within the site.

Recent events, such as the covid-19 pandemic has made the world realize their ability to work from home. Owing to this fact, we came to the idea that this could lead to a way of living that is constantly changing because we will have the ability to travel more. This fact led us to have the residence times to be shorter, ranging from 4 to 12 months. Due to the extended time that you will be at home working, our idea was to create a living environment where you can experience beautiful moments throughout the entire living space. In the Pinnacle Peak area, there is a series of pit-houses, built by the Hohokam, that were discovered. We began to draw inspiration from the Hohokam people, and their pit-houses by constructing our units partially underground.

When my group began desiging our housing project we were lost with the potential the sight had. The views were iminent and it was obvious they would be a strong driving force for our design process. Through our site analysis, we discovered the Hohokam, a tribe of people that used to inhabit the very site we were designing upon. The Hohokam introduced a new possibility for our design, which was to push the units underground. This idea was effective in heat control and allowed us to stay under a 30’ height maximum. We took the concept and updated it to meet our needs. We essentially cut the topogragraphy with 2 long and parallel incisions, peeled it up and slid our unit clusters under it. The result is a very private and subtle desert experience. The rendering pictured above, shows a view looking between two units. This shows the emphasis we placed on experience and views throughout the site.

When going through this project on of our main challenges that we tried to think through was providing the residents with experiential moments. The site had incredible natural views so we made sure to give every unit access to those, however the most substantial and impactful moments were ones similar to the render above. These are between the individual units and are small green spaces that give each unit private views. The slots in the roof that open to the sky provide natural light and serve to open the spaces up. The two main elements of these spaces are the greenery and the way that light interacts with the space.

Located on the cross streets of Alma School and Jomax, this take on a VRBO destination is set with the intentions of bringing in snow birds, tourists, and all visitors alike. The driving force behind the design was the Arizonian desert; thus, leading to many cacti and native trees around the units and site itself, while also including symmetrical yet rigid roof tops and rammed earth walls to mimic the imperfections of the desert landscape. On and around the site include many open areas to simply stroll, bike, or take in a breathtaking view of the mountains and terrain. In the front of the site, the office contains a bike rental station for visitors to rent bikes and head to nearby trailheads. With elevation in mind, as you travel further up to the ada units and office, the elevation gets steeper, this was intended to bring in more views for all different units.

In our project, we created a 30-unit VRBO- like rental that works with the surrounding desert, allowing it to weave around the site. For the buildings, we used natural building materials to not take away from the surrounding desert. One of these materials was rammed earth, and we used it to create monolithic walls that extend up passed the roof and out passed the windows of our buildings. These walls also helped to create an experience through compression and expansion, to create narrow entrances into the units, and then to guide people around into the larger living areas. At the end of the living areas are large windows with the large, rammed earth walls poking past it, framing the views of the beautiful mountains beyond.

This low income residential building is meant to inspire the fresh ASU downtown graduates to strive towards their dreams and aspirations. This idea is conveyed to these graduates through the use of community spaces and gardens, creating the feeling that the community around them is there supporting them as they work hard towards their dreams. This project is called Urban Roots, to bring you through the project we’ll start at the entrance. There are two entrances to this building, the main entrance to the lobby where there are resident accommodations and the secondary entrance that takes you through the community space where there is rentable space for shops and restaurants and then out to the back where there is an open greenspace. Moving upward, the three residential floors are wrapped around a centralized courtyard, with the front of the building open to the open air.

This image highlights a portion of the courtyard area and rooftop garden of our two-story, 30unit apartment project at the Mesa, Arizona, site. We chose thick, exposed concrete as the primary construction material for its strength, durability, and sound insulation, with a contemporary feel inspired by Louis Kahn’s Salk Institute. The relatively smooth surface also serves as an ideal canvas for various mural installations by local artists throughout the complex. Ample green spaces adorn the property, which act as an extension of the adjacent park and help mitigate the urban heat island effect. Amenities, such as the pool, hot tubs, cooking stations, teen and young adult recreation room, and yoga spaces, amongst others, help keep the small community engaged with one another. A small convenience store at the entrance to the complex is directly accessible to the tenants and surrounding neighborhood.

In the housing project Bridgewood Community, both my partner and I worked in a multi-family residential building that had to have at least 20 units. We designed a multi- family residential housing in the location of Mesa, AZ. The difficult part of this site was to create a residential area in a residential area that had a highway next to the site, a park, and a school on the West of the site. We wanted to create a housing unit that allowed all types of ages into this site. Our goal was to fit twenty units in 2.44 acres with different units. So we decided to add houses of 60’X 60’, and 30’X60’ including a bridge in the center of the site in order to create a direction for the people to walk into the site amenities. The bridge is the heart of the site in order to support that idea of a community and plays a huge role for people to move around the second floor.

The concept for our design is “Nora”. Nora comes from the Hebrew, Italian, and French languages meaning light. This concept focuses on bringing in as much natural light as possible with the repeated use of curtain walls. Nora is a place of relaxation and enlightenment located in North Scottsdale. The location of the site is surrounded by beautiful views of Pinnacle Peak, Troon Mountain, and the valley. There are many golf courses and hiking trails in close proximity to the apartments, and if that isn’t enough the apartments come with an amenities center which is located in the middle of the three buildings. The amenities center includes a gym, a pool, a cardio room, and a weight room. As brought up earlier, there are three apartment buildings and within these buildings there are 24 units with five different floor plans. These floor plans range from a single story; 2 bed, 2.5 bath; 1400 sq ft apartment, to a two story; 3 bed, 3.5 bath; 2800 sq ft apartment. This complex is located in a very quiet area and also a very beautiful area with views of the city and mountains.

The site is car-dependent and offers beautiful mountain views. The units cluster and stack, mimicking the way the old stones interlock. Reminiscent of the historical mining town on Reata Pass, materials such as corten steel, concrete, and rammed earth are used in the overall design. This produces an aesthetic to match the essence of an old mining town with residents who once traveled through this part of Scottsdale. Ammenities such as a gym, swimming pool, dog park, and lounging areas are provideed for the residents of The Peak.

The frame, an urban housing project, was created in effort to search for a multi family housing development that fixes the general issues of high density living. Such as, a lack of natural light, long anti social corridors, a lack of outdoor space, and a over powering facade. To create more natural light, we arranged the units so that each one gets access to natural light from at least two opposing sides. To eliminate the interior corridors, we positioned all circulation on the exterior. To create more outdoor space, each unit has two balconies, or patios, on opposing sides. To create a facade that doesn’t take over the local communities view of the horizon, we eliminated the second level so it creates a frame of the horizon. Also allowing us to use the second level as public outdoor space. The realized form of the project combats the common issues of high density living without contributing to the issue of urban sprawl.

The project presented is called The Canyon, it is an apartment complex designed by myself and my partner in ADE 321. We included an interesting component in the center of the building which is a bridge/ park inspired by the Tabiat Bridge in Tehran, Iran. This bridge is made up of 2 floors that span across the site providing recreational space and at the same time connecting the apartment units to other spaces on the site. Located in the downtown area, it allows for a green space in this area of town which does not have much vegetation. The complex also has an art gallery located under the bridge which will be open for first friday and other days. This site is located at the very end of the famous Roosevelt row where the art is not as prominent. This site is to bring more light and vibrance to the art district in the Phoenix downtown area.

Kahtoola is an outdoor gear company located in Flagstaff, Arizona that specializes in making detachable micro spikes for silent sports - hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, and trail running. Kahtoola needs a new warehouse expansion because the company is growing and getting bigger. The company is a Nature focused company whose employees would appreciate working outdoors, with fresh outdoor air and connected to the landscape. To achieve my vision of the perfect warehouse, there needs to direct connection and access to the outside. This is achieved by having two of walls of my warehouse—which float eight feet off the ground—open up, allowing a blending of the inside and outside.

ADE 421

ALLYSSA CHIARELLO

Kahtoola is a flexible, outdoor footwear gear company that values ingenuity, responsibility, people, and quality, and it is only fitting that the new warehouse proposal does the same. Due to the company’s ties to the outdoors, preservation of the surrounding forest became a key design strategy, and additionally influenced the choice of exterior and interior wood/charred wood paneling. Unity was another key design factor exhibited through the floor plan of the building, namely through a large shared porch that unites both office and warehouse workers while drawing them outdoors before, during, and after the work day. Lastly, visual points of connection and views to the company’s two existing buildings were included to preserve Kahtoola’s history, as well as employee social ties.

We finally had the opportunity to design something real, and we got real hands on life experience working with the client, the employees of his company, and its local architect.

The new Kahtoola is about reinforcing human relationships to the natural environment by providing quality products curated and preserved in a space that embodies Kahtoola’s mission to people and Nature. The transparency and the openness of the new Kahtoola allows the outdoors to flow seamlessly indoors, keeping the staff of Kahtoola connected with the outside environment by capturing the moving shadows of the trees, the passing of light as the day progresses, and the consoling ambiance as the seasons change. The new Kahtoola also provides open and flexible gathering spaces for the staff during the workday and the surrounding community afterhours. This concept aims to improve Kahtoola’s role as a company who cares and as an active part of their Flagstaff community.

The Kahtoola expansion building promotes this relationship between the existing buildings and forest in the surrounding context. It honors the intent of a warehouse while being adaptable and flexible for the future and its uses beyond Kahtoola. My Kahtoola expansion is an ecological campus, there are multiple hubs for interacting, lots of moving parts, and ample attachment to the existing building as well as the forest and each other. Celebrating the outdoors is an essential component here, every tree that was cut down enacted a skylight in the building. Promoting the pockets of light that beam down between branches. This is not simply a box in the meadow, it is the grounds for transformation and empowerment of the community. It is designed for this specific location and climate. The building is both aesthetically pleasing and performative.

As we thought about the future of Kahtoola, we did not want to focus on a building, but rather a lifestyle. We wanted to study practices that embodied the Kahtoola spirit; this led us to the campground. In place of buildings are tents, which unwrap to the nature beyond and the community around. Movement around the campground takes place along this exposed deck, forcing people to go outside and experience the elements. Visible from the street, Kahtoola’s working warehouse is on display, inviting everyone to experience the processes taking place. Basecamp is the summit of the campground: a place to foster a diversity of discussions. At the heart of the campground lies the fire pit, providing a casual moment for conversation and community. Camping represents stillness, resilience, discovery, sustainability and community. Camping embodies the Kahtoola spirit. This is the campground. This is the future of Kahtoola.

Camping represents stillness, resilience, discovery, and community. The act of camping embodies the Kahtoola spirit, as it fosters a raw relationship with the landscape one is exploring. There are no buildings at the Campground, but rather tents, which unwrap to the surrounding Nature and community. These tents float on the deck, four feet above grade, which minimizes the disturbed landscape, and allows the team to experience the trees from a new height. Movement through the campground takes place along this partially covered deck, allowing people to experience what it truly means to be outdoors. Carved into the center of the campground is the fire pit, which provides a casual meeting place for the Kahtoola team to gather and cast vision for what’s to come.

Kahtoola is an outdoor gear company that values Nature and being outdoors. Its innovative products make the greater outdoors more accessible for all of us, allowing people to reach remote destinations without any problems. Kahtoola wants people to access all types of Nature wherever they are so inclined - this is my design vision and key generative idea. First, I also focused on how to maintain the forest and as many of the trees on the expansion site as possible. I designed the site and my building to allow most of the trees and forest to remain untouched and connected when viewed from the both the existing Kahtoola Building across the street and new expansion. Second, I provided an efficient functional warehouse which was lacking in their original renovated Kahtoola building.

Located in Flagstaff, Arizona and connected to the Arizona National Scenic Trail and Rio De Flag is the Kahtoola campus. The project is a warehouse expansion that is meant to reflect and continue to push Kahtoola’s values into the future. The downward flow of Nature into the wash is reflected in the shape that pulls the visitor further into the site to experience the various trails and processes that life has to offer. Nature is reflected in the massive rammed earth walls that provide a feeling of security as well as serving purpose for a passive heating system. Vaulted roofs allow for the access of natural southern light as well as push the downward force through water collection. Running from the existing Kahtoola, through the warehouse, and past into the wash are a system of trails, that allow for the project to create it’s own community and always give every form of life a new path to discover.

The Kahtoola (Two) expansion has been developed due to the increasing demand for Kahtoola outdoor products which provide outdoor enthusiasts with micro spikes for shoes, gaiters, and crampons. The linear form of their new warehouse and office building allows for efficient loading, unloading, and packing. The building spans 160 feet east to west and 55 feet north to south. The open interior space allows for warehouse noises and employees to be able to see, be part of, and collaborate with the elevated office space. The main floor area also allows for warehouse expansions in the future, and the elevated third floor gives an incredible collaborative work environment that not only overlooks the forested area to the east, but the entire warehouse space within.

Kahtoola has been working to redefine the boundaries of a typical work environment. Through the firm’s mission of creating a more accessible and rewarding outdoors, they celebrate nature by making it a vital part of the culture. With the integration of the climate, sustainability and flexibility, Kahtoola’s new warehouse becomes a beneficial addition to the campus. Climate influenced the materiality, consisting of rammed earth throughout for natural insulation and an earthy feel. A wrap around clerestory and an abundance of windows provide plenty of natural sunlight, while allowing Nature to peek into the built environment. Large garage doors lining the exterior walls allow for ventilation, as well as flexible warehouse area to potentially extend to. Sustainable systems such as greywater systems, solar panels, and local materials were all thoughtfully integrated to create a self-sufficient environment.

This bridges the gap between producer and consumer forming lasting relationships with the surrounding businesses, natural environment, and communities.

Kahtoola is a company that specializes in making lightweight, flexible climbing gear that’s adaptable to any shoe. Their main mission statement is to “make the outdoors more accessible and rewarding by building exceptional products.” The design for Kahtoola’s new warehouse and office revolved around the clients three main needs: connecting with Nature, getting as much natural light into the structure, and promoting collaboration between the various activities. To achieve this, I designed a long skinny structure with minimum interior walls that would maximize the amount of inventory space, flexible and adaptable space, and will be easy to navigate. In order to get as much natural light in the structure, the roof was designed in a curved organic shape that’ll illuminate the interior space, matches the landscape, and encourages movement through its shape. Lastly, in order to give back to the community, Kahtoola encourages community gatherings to take place on their loading dock afterhours.

My design for the Kahtoola expansion, located in Flagstaff, serves as a connection between their old and new buildings and Nature. My main vision when designing this new building for Kahtoola was to make a sustainable and adaptive design that could help strengthen the company, community and place. From inside, you have views to surrounding trees, forest, and distant mountains of Flagstaff. The facility has a flowing warehouse and office space disconnected from each other but aligned so that when you look straight through them they are like an open tunnel. The open design of the facility provides easy circulation and access to the outside environment, along with plenty of space for alternative uses of their forest site.

The First Friday Theater is inspired by the event it’s named after that takes place on Roosevelt and Second Street. The theater interacts with the street and aims to become part of the experience of being at First Friday. People don’t necessarily have to walk in, the interaction happens at the entrance stairs where it’s laid out for people to sit and hangout. The second level restaurant is designed to attract traffic in the street to go in and enjoy the evening. The ceiling of the restaurant has a unique design that can be seen from the street, which is a perfect attraction to passing pedestrians. The restaurant bar overlooks the lobby and the rest of the restaurant. Inside the theater, there is a black box and a proscenium theater that can seat up to 700 people.

This project focused on redesigning theater and performance for the changing world. Set on Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix, central to the First Friday art walk and performances, the site provides a unique backdrop for a modern theater. Drawing from the early history of the site, when downtown was populated by single family bugalow style homes, the theater emulates the feeling of home. Early bungalow homes were categorized by their porches, and history illustrates the importance of the stoop and how it was used to draw people together and create community. A stoop was incorporated along the front of the project, as well as inside the theater, to provide areas for small performance and gathering. Thinking towards the future, the black box theater is situated along Roosevelt with large glass doors that open completely towards the street. This is intended to bring the performance to the street and bring the street to the performance.

The Ouvrir Theatre is a three story multi-use building that highlights the possibilities of connection that could be made with the surrounding context. This building exploration values the link between the performer and the audience by investigating the numerous possibilities on where these two subjects could be placed within space. This exploration of the performance typology delves into the question of what the theatre space can be. Can the stage be a regular balcony? Can it be the landing of a stair? The building itself is a platform for performers and artist to display their work. This is done in a way that the work is displayed to the surrounding context of the building by moving walls and connecting spaces.

Echo House Theatre brings each subject together within a performance of itself. A structure that will interact and start the conversation...yes, and... From the corrugated brass staircase that reverberates sound back, the moss amphitheatre on the corner, the mural pieces of the theatre world that face Roosevelt Road, the spotlight on the practice room that faces 2nd street, the gallery of local art on the second floor, to the theatre in round and so much more.

Located on the corner of Roosevelt Row and 2nd St., The Grid is a theater derived from the faces of buildings and murals that when elongated, run directly through the site. The lines are then extruded as walls to form the building. Next it is separated into a northern half that houses all back of house functions and a southern half that is open to the public. After, the two halves are sliced vertically twice While the eastern and western thirds of the building hold programs, the center slice of the building is a void. For it is a mini street running through the theater. Furthermore, some walls of the grid are able to turn and function as pivot doors. Lastly, one of Arizona’s 5 C’s, copper, is utilized outside.

The design concept of the theater project is a diverse and versatile architecture. Since local performances are held on the first Friday of every month, I wanted the building to be able to join the performances on Fridays. The whole building is a circular continuous building, and for the theater performance function of the building itself, I realized the theater set through holographic projection. I think the performance mode of the theater will be immersive, where the whole building is a stage to perform continuous theater, and the audience can choose the story they are interested in watching. There is also an openair stage at the corner of the road, which is used for street performance artists during events and as a resting place in general. The cafe is designed with all floor-to-ceiling glass, so that people inside the cafe can also enjoy the theatrical performances.

My concept is that the audience is not only the audience, but also a part of the show. I designed multiple stages are set up, and no special routes are set up inside, allowing the audience to create their own unique drama. Secondly, the theater is divided into zones. A stage and a ticket office are set on the first floor. It is used as a place to watch the show, and visitors need to enter the venue with a ticket. The second floor is a public area, everyone can enter, and all the walls can be provided for artists to create murals. At First Friday, attract more people to visit.

Tasked with creating a theater based in Roosevelt Row at the heart of First Fridays, I emulated the feeling I had as a child at my first art walk; joy, exhilaration, and that inspiring drive to try my hand at what I had just seen. The exterior of Mudita Theater is composed of multiple, adaptable pods for musicians and artists to practice their crafts and perform for passersby. Nestled behind the pods lies the sunken grotto theater and the entrance to the main lobby. The main lobby of Mudita Theater has open workshops and collaboration areas for artists to share their skills and talents with each other and the public.

The objective of this project was to incorporate a new program into the site while maintaining its current use. The basement level opens to the public via a large stairwell, while acting as outdoor seating for unconventional performances held in the lower lobby.

Downtown Phoenix is populated by a high latin population but more representation is needed for the Latinx and Indigenous artists to share their stories. The incorporation of a multi-use theater is used in order to promote the voices, stories and artistry of different communities. Theatro de las Artes gives these artists the opportunity to share their talents with the community. I got most of my inspiration from looking at case studies by Luis Barragan and Ricardo Lagoretta. Also focusing the idea of the plaza, lots of green space, color and light into my design. The basement includes an artist hang out lounge on the basement level with multiple muralist rooms and a secret artist room that can be accessed through a soda machine.

Visions is a nightclub and performance hub that combines the joys of the theater-going experience with the ever-changing dynamic of the fashion world. Runway fashion is often about confrontation through challenging conventional ideas of appearance, and this project incorporates this confrontation through its porosity between performance spaces.There are three main areas that challenge the notion of what a stage can be, including the exterior entrance queue, interior entrance passageway and elevated traverse stage. A multi-level bar passes through the second story, which is home to a DJ booth and expansive balcony space that offers a plethora of vantage points. Exterior balconies create excellent views of Roosevelt Row and foster integration with First Friday events.

During this studio, we were tasked with creating a theater in Downtown Phoenix. The site we were given at Roosevelt and 2nd St. currently functions as a park, accessible to everyone any time of the day, any day of the year. My main concept was to keep this space as an open area accessible to the general public, while adding a new program elevated above the park space. The main entrance into the theater is accessible from the stairs at the corner of 2nd and Roosevelt. The stairs also double as seating. Another element I wanted to add was a slope at the bottom of the building that references the stadium seating on the interior. By lifting the theater above the existing park, it will be able to continue its current function while drawing a new crowd of theater enthusiasts.

The Canyon Theater is a three story theater building, housing a proscenium theater as well as a blackbox theater. The project concept is to incorporate performance and theater at any moment possible, and that the essence of Roosevelt Row and the street performance/art scene should not be lost. The design of this project attempts to create multiple spaces that encourage performance and hopes to incorporate the growth of street art and performance from Roosevelt Row onto the site. By allowing the entire first floor to be open to the public at all times, and creating a natural walkway from the street through the site, the design aims to give people a place to enjoy and investigate theater, performance, and art in multiple spaces.

Narnia Theater is a black box theater proposal for Roosevelt Row in Phoenix, Arizona. The theater focuses on its concepts of connecting to the outdoors and exploration, giving its users multiple options for space to explore and experience the outdoors throughout the building. The greatest feature of the theater is its retractable roof which provides both shading and open lighting for the outdoor space as well as the theater as it slides back and forth to provide a contrast of lighting for a spectrum of daily events. The building has three sections including the front of house, back of house, and the theater, and each section has a differing wood exterior to separate each section and connect the building with the outdoor flourishing. The people who visit the theater will be brought through a series of levels that include the 2-story interior theater as well as four levels of exterior balconies used for intermissions, gatherings, and experiencing the theater performance from above.

Performative urbanism conceptualized the world of theater for Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix. Given a site that sees some of the heaviest foot traffic in the valley, along with rich culture of the arts, history, and desert landscape, Sunsound was designed with walkability, inclusivity, and an immersive theater experience in mind. The idea of open sound, open air desconstructs the privatized world of architecture and theater and explodes both the program and the design. Open sound attracts the community and the benefit of the desert climate makes open circulation possible. Sunsound aims to seamlessly transport the audience from the street to the stage, carrying the onlookers through an experience of costuming, scene shops, galleries, dressing rooms, and concessions, programs that are typically kept behind closed doors. In turn, the goal of this design is to bridge the gap between the audience and the cast, creating a perfect exhibit for downtown Phoenix.

One of the main goals of this project was to form a meaningful connection between the building and Tempe Town Lake. One technique used to connect the interior of the museum to the outdoor patio is the central curved walls that feature metal sliding doors that can be opened or closed depending on the current use of the flexible interior exhibit. I also designed to have the second floor feature a public library along with the museum’s bookstore. The entire north wall of this library is a window that looks out to the outdoor reading spaces and the lake. It is not necessary to travel through the museum to access the library or the rooftop greenspace. Lastly, the sidewalk outside the museum was overhauled into an outdoor patio space that features a walk-up café that is accessible to anyone passing by, not just the museum goers.

This project is a history museum located at Tempe Town Lake. The proposed site for the museum is in the narrow area between the two Mill Avenue bridges. This space creates a unique opportunity for people from the nearby Tempe Beach park to come and learn about the history of the surrounding area. The geologic history of the water in the area and the flowing nature of water served as inspiration for this building. The main feature of this building is the lighting experience created by the roof. The roof is composed of panels which are created by arcing the roof upward to create curves that let in the light. Inspired by the wakes made through the water, the roof creates an identifiable feature that allows natural light into the exhibits.

This musuem is located in Tempe Town Lake between the two Mill Avenue bridges. The intention of this project is for people to be able to see how Tempe has changed ovet the years, going from the present into the past as you move inside the building. The program of this building consists of galleries, theather, green space, study section, gift shop, coffe shop and terrace space, which are all available for the public. The project mainly is designed to follow patterns and the mimicry of the site. Tempe History Museum is not only for people to be able to understand its history but also to connect with it.

A place to learn. A place to connect. Water in the desert, the poetic that was achieved by the Hohokam a millennial ago. Purpose of the museum is to talk about the past while we experience it in the present, and as part of this distinctive culture, three things shaped their entire society: irrigation canals, ball courts & platform mounds. Two main circular volumes represents the ball courts which is interactive in ground level while responding to the narrow site. Two platform mounds stacked in circles gets slimmer at top to respect the setbacks. Finally, the irrigation canals, that its whole purpose back then, and now, is to create a circular production that is coherent, making a marketplace.

Tempe Town Lake brings to the forefront many benefits to the city of Tempe and its population. The proposal of Tempe Town Museum would then complement and even further benefit the city of Tempe’s culture and atmosphere on the lake as well as off the lake. Tempe Town Museum is located between the Tempe and Second Mill Avenue Bridges, owning its lakefront property. Spanning most of the site and owning its lakefront property, Tempe Town Museum is a place where residents, companies, and organizations can come to display, celebrate, and exercise what they bring to the culture, economy, and infrastructure of Tempe.

The proposed lakeside history museum for the City of Tempe fully embraces what it means to “Make Waves in the Desert.” Nestled between historical Mill Avenue and the ever-evolving Tempe Town Lake, this new history museum serves as a tool for the city to educate visitors on the past, present, and future milestones of the river city. A key strategy in the design is to harmonize the building with the site and surrounding context. This was accomplished by shaping the structure both vertically and horizontally to flow with the adjacent bridges while enhancing views over Tempe Town Lake and Mill Avenue. Water from the lake has been utilized as a living feature of the museum, while also providing recreational activities for the visitors. The interior architecture boasts exhibits that are built into the structure, including a small scale dam, cantilevered lake observation deck, and Hohokam pit houses.

The project is located beside Tempe Town Lake, between the two bridges that adjoin the famous Mill Ave. This project is a museum that features several gallery spaces. The galleries give homage to the Hohokam tribe of Arizona by integrating the two bridges as a major component of the design. The galleries surround the columns of the bridge and expand outward, providing a grand space for the galleries to showcase the cultural significance of the ancient Hohokam tribe. The Hohokam originally worked out all the irrigation canal systems of Arizona that we still utilize to the current day. The idea for this design was to honor the Hohokam tribe with a large space for commemoration of culture, appreciation for the arts, remembrance of the past, and overall aesthetic qualities of historical bridges. I chose to show this interior render because I felt that it perfectly emphasizes the ambience that I intend to express in the museum.

Located on Tempe Town Lake Waterfront, the Tempe History Museum is situated between the Tempe and Second Mill Ave Bridges leading to Downtown Tempe. The museum houses four galleries total, event spaces, bookstore and cafe. Additionally, multiple outdoor areas on all sides of the building encourage public interaction when not inside. The building front faces north to views of the lake and Papago Mountains. The south side’s upper levels overlook the downtown skyline. The project inspiration was the Tempe Town Lake, in it’s past and present form. The riverbed was used by the Hohokam Indians as an irrigation area to cultivate crops. Later, it was a crossing point for white settlers and trade. The building base and walls are styled after the riverbed and roof conceptualizes the water as it flows through the channel. A pedestrian walkway leads from the waterfront path along the building and up to the Mill and Rio Salado Parkway crosswalk, allowing active crossing along the site.

Located in between the Old Mill bridge and the New Mill Bridge lies the Tempe History Museum. The museum takes its patrons on a guided journey exploring Tempe’s vast history through interactive exhibits. The fluidity of the museum was a main design concept. The goal was to create a guided experience that was leisurely but insightful as well. The usage of long spacious corridors that act as gallery space was a way to counter traditional museums approach which is different rooms for different exhibits. The museum does not only act as museum but as a functioning part of Tempe Town Lake. A three story cafe that overlooks the lake is accessible to not only patrons but by those who are passing the area. There is also a dedicated viewing platform connected to the original bridge allowing for pedestrians walking on the bridge to enter and experience this elevated view of Tempe Town Lake.

This proposal for the new Tempe History Museum is positioned between the Mill Avenue Bridges, just in front of the shoreline of the Tempe Town Lake; a centerpiece of an ongoing development project that includes offices and high-rise housing near the waterfront. I started the form by following the linear shape of the Mill Avenue Bridges. I then split the linear shape into two modules; North and South, The north module is meant to house most of the public amenities such as the aerial tramway station - that connects both ends of the lake, an auditorium, a terrace, and three gallery floors; while the south module houses a coffee shop, offices and an extensive storage space. I lowered and raised the two volumes to follow the topography and the slopes of existing bridges. My last process was to cut the ends of the volumes at a 45° angle to shade the interior during summer and let light in during winter.

The Tempe History Museum is a connection of not only human history- but ecological history of the site itself. The site’s most notable feature includes its connection to the Salt River and surrounding parks. The museum aims to connect and reflect on the Salt River’s rich ecological history and changes over the years. Connecting the site to its previous ecological changes from before and after the dams on both the east and west side. This was done through a specific planting distribution of riparian and upland ecosystems- providing an educational opportunity of the historical changes of the site’s ecology. To establish an ever presence of nature, direct window placements and interior garden spaces provides porosity and an uninterrupted connection to interior and exterior flora, human activity, and the Salt River. Walking trails weave through the site and between buildings to allow for an educational opportunity of the flora and provide an interactive connection between human history and ecology.

The Coral Museum is a museum with a heavy focus on the community. The inspiration or the design of this museum stemmed from the Western Coral Snake. The snake is native to the city of Tempe and this snake was used as a motif to dictate the flow of the circulation for all who visits the museum. This hybrid building serves as not only a museum but a community center in the middle of its circulation. The space allows for individuals to circulate throughout the area with amenities such as a cafe and courtyard. The end of the circulation for the museum tops off with a high-end restaurant with an amazing scenic view. This museum is definitely a space where many will come to not only familiarize themselves with Tempe’s history but also to come and relax on a beautiful evening.

The project is located in Tempe Town Lake, AZ. Our studio was tasked to design a history museum based on Tempe Town Lake. My vision was to slant my building walls to provide wider space at the top: from small ground level (cafe/gift shop) to bigger upper level (gallery). This museum combines both the history of the lake on how it was used and what events happen in the present. Gallery is filled with historical images and also has panoramic view to the outside (all 4 sides of the top floor). Double-height ceiling enhances the wide open ranged scenery surrounding the area like the park, roads, bike/ walkways and rental boating areas.

Sika Futuro International Airport seeks to fit itself into Kumasi by means of utilizing the phenology of the place, and mimicking the physical and cultural practices of the people. The phenological aspects of the building are found in designing for a tropical climate, with abundant overhead shade that allows indirect interior sunlight, open-air spaces that are oriented to bring in fresh air, and a water collection drainage system that directs the abundant rainfall to specific locations that will create green walls both in and outside of the building. The designs found in “kente cloth”, a set of patterned motifs and colors with deep meaning for the Ashanti people, was draped on both the exterior and interior, creating visual significance to those who are from the area, as well as creating a bright, colorful experience to welcome newcomers.

Ashanti Pillars Airport expresses the story of Kumasi’s past and future expansion through structural and human movement. Approaching the airport from the city, enveloped by trees and controlled by a curved road, passengers experience the same cramped feeling that began the Ashanti desire for more space. The landside components of the airport are rigid and rectangular, much like the rules of war that governed Kumasi’s past. After centuries of war, the city wishes to extend into the global economy and society. In response, the building expands both vertically and horizontally to accommodate growth. Capping the journey, a “five petal” roof structure mimicking the national flower of Ghana covers much of the overhead area. This final symbol combines Ghana’s Four Pillars of Sustainability with Kumasi’s own Garden City concept to create a holistic sustainable development goal, now taught to all Kumasi travelers.

Union International Airport was designed by analyzing and understanding the courtyard from the Ashanti residential layout. The courtyard has several functions, but the main objective is to bring people together. My intention was to create a courtyard so people arriving could see and learn something from people that were about to depart from Kumasi. Another important key element from this project is the circulation, I wanted to give travelers a simple but effective experience when exploring the airport. Since Ghana is a tropical region, having some vegetation was essential. The site where the airport is located is covered with vegetation, so I wanted to bring some of that vegetation into the airport. Having some vegetation in the airport helps the incoming people to get an idea of the tropical aspect of Kumasi.

Our project was the making of an International airport in the city of Kumasi located in Ghana Africa. One of the biggest elements that I wanted to involve in the project was the essence of Kumasi. What was the lifeblood, the culture, the attitude of Kumasi? Those were the elements of the project that kept me coming back and what pushed me forward. Finding those features were one thing but finding out how to include them within the airport was another challenge entirely. I wanted to create a separation of space between the Kumasi elements and the more integral airport features so as to not compromise the plan wholly. With that in mind I created a branching experience crossing through Kumasi as one goes through the airport with Kumasi around you at every crossroad, resulting in, The Seed of Kumasi.

For this studio project I had the opportunity to design an international airport in Kumasi, Ghana, the second largest city in Ghana and the commercial, industrial, and cultural capital of the Ashanti Empire. My project was inspired by a storm, more specifically a vortex. With this idea I wanted to create an airport that pulls people in while creating a unique experience at the airport. The building itself is sloped and creates an effect of the building emerging from the ground. This creates areas of the roof that people can explore and interact with. The West side of the building is organized to be landside while the East side is organized to be airside. At the center of the building is a large open-air courtyard with a variety of plants that focuses on bringing back Kumasi’s title as the garden city.

My exploration consisted mostly of integrating the site to take advantage of qualities the site has to offer. Integrating wind and natural resources creates a project that will last and adjust to the site over time. It is important to understand the human site relationship in order to create something in the perspective of those who will inhabit it. It is like the structure on the site should slowly start to become a part of the landscape of those who live within it. I enjoyed exploring sensitivity as an overlying topic to most of my approaches toward the design.

Our 4th year studio project focused upon an international airport in Kumasi, Ghana. A city that is energetically attempting to envision a metropolis for the future of Africa. This was a perfect occasion to push the boundaries of my capabilities as an aspiring architect, while collaborating with other talented students and professors. In all my previous works I manipulated the site to suit the needs of my project, rather than use the architecture to accentuate the environment. This semester would be different, the lush sloping hillside our project rested upon provided an incredible design opportunity. A suspended atrium ended up being my solution and was the prevailing focal point in my creative process, articulated to take full advantage of the spectacular views of the city of kumasi and the vibrant tropical surroundings. Ultimately, my architecture is still enveloped more by the future fantastical than the present practical, but each semester I move a bit closer to reality.

The Ashanti word “Sunsum” derives from the term “sun”, which became a focal point upon the design of Sunsum Airport. The interior is intended to be simple and with ease of navigation, being that typical airports are constantly busy. The airport is inspired by the concept of an amphitheater in which there is one main central space, and in the airport resides the central space where the transition upon arrival and departure converges to promote cultural and social interactions among the native Kumasi people and passengers. The sun is also aided in the project as the concept of the religious artifact, the Golden Stool, is metaphorically symbolized through bamboo roof facade skins that hover and protect the airport from the rays of the sun, while inviting light into the space in which the path of the sun is celebrated throughout the entire journey of the airport by the passenger.

Our assignment this semester was to design an airport in Kumasi, Ghana. Our instructor Kobina Banning is currently working on the new airport being built and decided to let us try at the expansion. “You just have to look behind to go further.” I decided to base my design concept on the architecture in the Ashanti region before it was colonized. I also found inspiration in the tree canopies of the rainforest and the canopy walk in Ghana. Therefore, I split the airport into two buildings. First, I took elements from the vernacular architecture of the Besease shrine near Kumasi in a contemporary way, keeping the pitched-roof layout, which helps with heavy rains and air circulation. The second building took elements from the canopy layers by providing shade and different ranges of visibility.

This airport proposal is grounded in Kumasi and Ashanti culture. The first step of the process consisted of walking the area, metaphorically, and understanding the intricacies of the planning and architectural language of the area. From that understanding, collision spaces were pinpointed and guidelines for a “Ghanian” grid were created as the foundation of this project. The structure was created by extruding these guidelines and defining the material, steel. From this, a specific technology was developed, inspired by the informal spaces of Kumasi. Metal grids, which would be created locally, would hang from the structure to inform the circulation. This space ultimately presents itself as a collision, a representation of clash, resilience, and unity, pillars of the indigenous roots of Kumasi’s Ashanti Tribe.

This semester I had the opportunity to create an airport extension proposal, Daufe International Airport, for the Kumasi International Airport. Located in Kumasi, Ghana, the proposal was greatly inspired by the organic, circular city structure and the Ashanti Andrika Symbol Duafe, also known and beauty and the wooden comb. The goal of this proposal was to find a balance between the rigid, strict nature of an airport system and the vibrant, energetic nature of Kumasi in a cohesive and efficient design. More importantly the proposal stives to improve Kumasi while also celebrating the Ashanti people and their culture. Overall, my greatest takeaways from this project were learning about the complexities of airport design and challenging myself to create an airport that is not only functional but also creates unique experiences for the user.

Nsaa International Airport, my proposal for an airport extension in Kumasi, Ghana embodies the spirit of showing the authenticity of the local culture upon arrival and departure. A major influence in the creation of this project was finding a way to diminish the negative perception of a passenger arriving in a ‘developing’ country; as well as creating a language of informal and formal activities. In order to infuse the existing culture into an airport setting, I proposed the insertion of a market in order for passengers to get a taste of what Kumasi is before they depart or when they arrive. Through the extrapolation of the motif of ‘The Kum Tree’, a structural language of engineered timber columns and bamboo pole facades/overhead shading work together to mimic the way the tree filters light as well as defining space underneath for activities to occur.

Light is pivitol in the work we do in architecture. Without light, our work is useless, as what is “seen” is nothing more than some varying reflection of light. Therefore, it was explored how light can be used in varying aspects of building and rendering throughout the semester. Exploring how light can create contrast or set a mood and tell a story was explored in project one. Project two explored how light can be manipulated and dirrected to create spaces and experiences. It was then explored how to render in light and use light and shadows to create floor plans and other architectural plans. Project three allowed for exploration in how light can bring life and help to form a structure and make a building function properly.

This design is based primarily on its interaction with the site. The beach has few forms aside from rolling dunes and perhaps a wall of water when a wave crashes in. My design seeks to mimic this by creating a space with minimal planes and organic pushes and pulls to create the form of a sandy beach floor and colored glass walls that emulate the feeling of going through the barrel of a wave. The openness and lack of roof or solid walls gives a sense of vulnerability and allows for the expansive views that a beach provides. I have elevated the structure and included a wooden step ladder, similar to those you would climb to get onto a lifeguard tower that feels playful and nostalgic. The elevation allows for exaggerated ocean breeze and a slide into the water to further tie the structure into the environment.

Contrast in Columbus The film begins with a scene of opposing forces. A woman’s panicked voice against an oscillating rainfall. Quick darted movements slowed to a purposeful stride. Stark, clinical lights moving to a wall of color and finishing with the muted but everpresent nature. I chose to analyze this scene by breaking it down to its basic components, only to reassemble them in my final model. My plan of the scene began as the perceived house in which all of the action transpires in and around. My elevations showed in contrast the somber tones against the jolt of color in a key feature wall. All of these elements are organized around the character’s movement through the scene and that is what determined the programming of the model. The planes are varied in thickness to show the ranging pace of movement and in opacity to allow for the indoor/outdoor relationship to permeate through. The scene as been brought from a series of disjointed parts to one final object of unity.

Inspired by the Maison Latapie House which was designed by Anne Lacaton and Jean Philippe Vassal, this community garden and greenhouse is a nontraditional take of a modernized environmental space. Focusing on the solid and void space, I wanted to show my interpretation of how i would use these principles in this community design. Rather than analyzing what was inside the solids, I chose to make the void outside of the structures. This was meant to emphasize the various directions and pathways an individual could go through this community. Going along with the elements of a green space, the roof plans make use of the natural light and the glass windows support the purpose of the purposes of each space. There are various concrete textures to compliment the use of greenery in the space and act as a juxtaposition against nature. Straying away from the traditional style of a greenhouse, I wanted to show a structural community space that is open, airy, but also contained.

This semester has given me a great foundation in the start of my journey in the world of architecture. Learning the design process, representation skills, and analyzing void and solid spaces, has made me excited to apply this knowledge in my future. Above is a project that I am happy to share with you. Given the task to study the solid and void relationship in the Sou Fujimoto’s Children’s Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation, I created a new space with a spa program. The rehabilitation center created a diversity of public and private spaces through a strict geometry of cubes randomly arranged. This new space maintains this concept and is amplified with the use of a central light tunnel that indirectly lights up each cube. The spa is located in a mountain side, where water flows through the tower from top to the bottom, filling pools along the way down. The circulation of water throughout this space creates a natural and unique void, created from a strict geometry.

This community garden and greenhouse aims for inclusivity through its public structures and pathways. The interaction between solid and void allow for fluidity when entering and experiencing the different structures as well as the spaces in between. The goal is to provide a place where community members can come together to connect with each and with nature. The architecture complements the surrounding terrain and reinforces the idea that the visitors can enjoy a natural sensory experience. The plan features a covered greenhouse, outdoor plots, patio gathering space, rest rooms, bike storage and more. The concept for the plan was developed by manipulating the solid and void spaces of a precedent study in an abstract way in order to conceive of an entirely new space. Solid and void work together in harmony to create a serene community garden and greenhouse.

Kersten Geers’ & David Van Severen’s Computer Shop in Belgium is created using steel columns and beams, wrapped in a glass facade. For my project I wanted to incorporate the thin framing of ‘Computer Shop’ into my design for a greenhouse. I also adopted the design aspect of allowing line of sight completely through the design, opening up the interior to the outside. The framing to my greenhouse creates different partitions featuring varying levels of light to better accommodate a diverse ecosystem of plants. As a person were to move throughout the greenhouse they will be moving towards a brighter, more naturally lit area. They would also notice that as they travel up the floors of the greenhouse they will be less enclosed by the structure of the greenhouse.

The Community Center and Garden (CCG) imagines a site where gardening and fishing are central to the life of the community. Classes are taught on agriculture and aquaculture about how to live off the land and sea. The site includes a kitchen where locally grown and sourced food is prepared for site workers and their families. During the summer afternoons, the Sun shades the dining area, giving workers an area to cool down from their labors. A large worship and community access space is elevated above the site at the height of mature growth trees with panoramic views of nature. When the event space is activated, the large glass windows double as a lighthouse beacon inviting members of the community to celebrate at the CCG. The trellis style structural beams provide ample support for rigging while tying the community garden programming back into the Architecture of the central structure.

Quartier on Third To best capture the feeling of the Maggie Center OMA in the UK, I took a further look at the solid and void realtionships of the existing building. Taking the section views and laid them down flat to create a new spa floor plan. This spa floor plan still holds the open views to nature as seen in the original Maggie Center plan. Next I studied the overall floorplan shape and tilted it up and used the original plan as a guide to the section cuts, this allows for fun and interesting roof slopes. With the open view to nature and calming environment of the spa the new plan still holds the relaxing feel originally acheived in Maggie Center OMA.

Motion & Sound Diagram of a Scene in Black Panther For this project, the assignment was to choose a scene from a movie and recreate the space based on the feelings the scene evoked. I chose a car chase scene, thus I created a small-scale cityscape that I felt replicated the architecture of the short clip. What you see here is a motion and sound diagram charting my interpretation of the movement occurring within the duration of the clip. There is clearly a definitive path the car takes, with the ink blots acting as physical representations of the space that was inhabited. The watercolour strokes are evocative of the dispersing sound waves both the car and people within the city produce.

This spa, located atop the arid cliffs of the mediterranean, attempts to explore light and how it creates a solid space in the void we occupy. The appatures are inspired by the movement patterns of wind over the localized environment. Consisting of smooth concrete and stained wood, the spa creates an atmosphere of relaxation and solitude. The design is orriented on an axis with a linear path from the entrance where we find the reception and the coffee/ tea bar to the more private cold dunk tank room. Centralized in the design, the patio encourages congregation, equipt with a balcony and an open longue facing the mediterranean sea.

For project four I wanted to emphasize progression through my work and how other assignments can help influence my designs. For this project I wanted to have the users experience something new within each space. A filter of color, light, and new experiences. The space is two levels within a few cubes to develop unfamiliarity of what the next room will be. Along with being showered with colors in the mosaic room. With stained glass engulfing the room and its inhabitants. A room of darkness with filtered lights through abstract openings, spotlighting the user. A bridge showcasing the way throughout the nine grid space, with a foggy floor disguising itself from the users. A blinding white room meets the users towards the bottom with sliding walls, confusing the inhabitants. While also allowing the users to expand or contract the size of the space through the sliding walls; creating individualized spaces.

I designed this greenhouse based on a French minimalist church. This made it so that the greenhouse also ended up being church like itself, and I like that it could be a place in the community that might serve a similar purpose to a church for a group of people that don’t necessarily think of themselves as churchgoing. The design is very linear, with all structures organized in a column, and this makes it so that there is a distinct progression as a person goes from the street further and further into the complex. I saw this as a kind of passage way and transition from the every day and banal towards the more extraordinary and unusual environment that a greenhouse is- a space that is purposely out of place with its surroundings and climate.

This Boutique Hotel is centered around the idea of openness. The architecture of the hotel is in such a way that the guests feel like they are outside even when they are inside in almost every part of the hotel. The interior spaces allow the architectural elements to act as furniture, making it a unique getaway hotel amidst the forest atop a valley. The nooks of the building bring nature amongst themselves, bringing the vegetation even closer to the hotel. This piece of architecture is experienced as a whole and as individual elements within the structure (bedroom, bathroom, patio, etc.).

Openness

are

both

features

incorporated within my nine square grid design. There is a focus on open space as I created consistency through the structure by allowing the spaces to be created in a hanging form, coming down in different arrangements from the ceiling. I wanted to use this as an opportunity to recreate the typical programs within the space. The hanging features create spaces for resting, movement, lighting aspects, ascending and descending, and more. Additionally, the space is transformed specific to each guest that enters. Based upon height, each guest will experience a different path than the next. Complexity was also a focus in this project as typical furniture pieces were created through the hanging concept. By incorporating this as an overall theme, I was able to create a space that would create new and intriguing paths that could act as a real life puzzle for guests.

These models were first made with the pure intent to experiment with materials. From left to right, the first model is made out of resin-reinforced plaster, often used in dentistry. The next one is made out of a fabric that looks like wood and stuffed with pillow stuffing. A 3D printer was used for the third one to get those sharp edges. The last model is made out of 1mm thick clear vinyl pieces that were super-glued together. Building physical models will always result in beautiful imperfections that will never naturally occur on the computer. The variation in the color of the plaster or the wavy nature of the vinyl walls are characteristics that might be seen as imperfections to some but can be inspirations to others. What started as material study ended as a lesson in embracing flaws and using them to inspire new designs.

The Borrowed Project I decided to take on began with a nine square grid project from an online student, Fenol Dera. The project focused on using the split level aspect of the grid and taking advantage of this to create a spacious and interesting dwelling unit. I wanted to expand upon this idea, adding to the concept by creating an environment around the house that would lend to this style of build. Placing the building into the hills allowed for the split level entrance to make sense but also lent to views from the front facade of the house. The site became a driving factor for the build of the house as well as the materials used to construct and serve as an exterior facade for the home. Aside from the location, something I am interested in delving deeper into is materials, with this project I wanted to explore the possibility of materials and how to represent them in project drawings. I wanted the materials to be easily identifiable and have a lifelike feel to them, lending to a very realistic understanding of the project.

This contemporary spa draws inspiration from two main sources: Copper House II (desgined by Studio Mumbai Architects) and the architecture found in the movie Bladerunner 2049. The main concepts behind the design include the wrapping of a prominent copper structure around the first and second floors to create division and balance, the carving of structural masses in rhythmic rectilinear openings, and the exploration of light in relation to form and texture. The relationship between public and private, interior and exterior spaces also played a role in the design process. There are several areas within the project that invite inhabitants to view the beachside environment of the site, such as from a large vertical window following a staircase and elevator from the bottom to the top floor or from a floor-to-ceiling opening on one wall of the massage room. The use of natural materials, incorporation of water features, and presence of several restful lounges will provide visitors to the spa with a relaxing and peaceful experience.

I began my project with Precedent Research on the Gando Primary School located in the African nation Burkina Faso. The school was designed and built by French Architect Francis Kere. It utilizes an interesting combination of solid and void spaces in order to maximize natural airflow and ventilation. I used the floor plan of the school for a greenhouse space in a design for a Community Garden Center. I developed several void spaces from the project into a building with meal prep space and bathrooms. Other voids became raised bed planters and an outdoor shower and dog wash station. Then I collaborated with another student Joshua who designed a 9 by 9 by 9 grid of different play areas for kids. Furthermore, he diagrammed a journey map of three children playing hide and seek. Using his work as inspiration, I eliminated my dog wash and outdoor showers and replaced them with a playground in an attempt to make the project more kid-friendly. I also added trees and other areas to facilitate hide and seek.

Community Center Section Scale 1/8” = 1’

What started as a simple sketch exploring the relationship between solid and void space evolved into a community center with a focus on natural light and the exterior landscape. The existing site was complemented with a simple structure allowing for free movement between the inside and out. Working with a colleague and using elements from their project, I was able to think about the use of water in spaces. This translated into a prominent water feature that looks over the landscape and is framed by the shape of the structure when looking outside toward the back of the property. The intent of the space is to create a large visual impact using the natural landscape paired with open circulation areas that promote collaboration and connection.

This tranquil retreat is designed to revitalize the users with soothing stimulations of their senses. With an emphasis on utilizing light, water, and nature, the spa creates a place for meditation so that the users can leave relaxed and centered. Inspirations were taken from Lina Bo Bardi’s Casa de Vidro and James Turrell’s Air Apparent. This starts with a floor plan that is highlighted by a central void to create the mineral pool/courtyard area in the middle of the design, similar to Casa de Vidro. Also located on the bottom floor is the spa with an overhead lighting feature that utilizes two geometric shaped planes at different angles to reflect colorful LED lighting. This is very similar to the Air Apparent design at Arizona State University, but this iteration focuses on a circular opening that acts as a continuation of the spa shape and extends up towards the sky. Other features include a simlarly lighted cold plunge rooms, a second story patio with filtered shading, and a two story sauna that opens up to a lookout balcony.

To maintain the utilities of meditative thoughtfulness in the selected designs, a chiropractic wellness center was created in balance with dynamically changing light. An energetic display carries through the entrance façade’s irregular shapes, shades, and colors as they bounce across the floor and walls with natural light. The cubical design of the front faces are in relevance to my partnered project with an intricate outer surface playing with light in a simpler interior space. Inside, light becomes more constrained and specific, only illuminating the halls and inner rooms enough to comfortably walk around in. This design is inspired by my research precedent of minimalistic and tranquil natural light while still respectively maintaining use as a wellness center. The back space utilizes a similar pattern of the intricate frontal façade while more calmly playing on the design with less shadow dynamics, softer light exposure, and a serene view of the water.

The Lakes is an amalgam of the organic and inorganic, with a modern design that incorporates cool-toned concrete slabs and floor to ceiling glass, combined with pre-weathered copper, mesquite paneling accents, as well as caning patterns on the facade for a hint of nostalgia. The Lakes takes pride in its environmentally sustainable choices as a PV powered structure, surrounded by xeriscaped gardens, the desert hills, and the cool breeze coming from the mountains. Atop the hotel is a viewing deck with a 360 degree view of the natural surroundings. This hotel has ten guest rooms, all of which have scenic views. The goal here is an ambiance of rest and relaxation, with a zen garden within the hotel lobby, a mature tree within the atrium, as well as a luxurious infinity pool facing the vastness of the water.

Rediscovering Tranquility Spa is an open plan design concept to create a calming and relaxing environment with secluded areas that promote decompression and mindfulness. The Spa facility is designed to encourage people to reclaim peace and balance in a chaotic world. Tranquility starts in the stunning serene landscaping when you first encounter the Spa facility, followed by the main building with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a scenic backdrop — a jacuzzi overflowing into a warm bath in the secondary structure. The facility has multiple lounges, an indoor sauna, and a cold water dunk tank with personal lockers. Outside the Spa facility we have an outdoor exercise pool between the lake and the main building. Along with a seamless glass wall balcony and lounge area leading to the clear azure waterfront.

One of the topics of this semester that I chose to focus on was how space is used. If one is to look at a particular space as a solid or a void then the purpose of it completely changes. My community garden is meant to demonstrate that solids and voids can be used to create a space that is multifunctional. Throughout the garden, there are random shaped solids placed along the path. Being inspired by the Children’s Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation designed by Sou Fujimoto, I tried to think of ways in which I could make something that appears random, actually have a specific purpose. The solids placed along the trail are used as an outdoor kitchen, a swing, and a private sitting area. Giving a solid object a purpose allowed me to produce even more functional areas in the garden. People are then able to walk along the guided path, or on the grass towards the solids and be able to see the different ways in which the area can be used.

In starting this project, I wanted to make sure that my plan flowed together and wasn’t just individual squares or cubes. I tried to incorporate programs such as resting spaces, courtyards, ascending, descending, entrance, exit, openings, open spaces, enclosures, direct light, reflection, and a path into my model. I chose to use glass on the upper two floors to keep spaces, enclosed but visible to the outside. I spent time refining line weights to present these 2D images with some depth. I used multiple materials, and images to show the different objects that were used for my model.

There were a lot of things that caught my eye in the project I chose. Namely was their positioning and placement of their structure. Upon research and some playing around I decided to keep some of the very same elements within my project. Inspiration came from both my peer and this idea that concrete does not always have to dominate a space. Within modern construction it seems as it were that concrete is used at very high rates due to its durability and often its consistency in building. In my project I wanted to keep that element but also add some vegatation and Glass. I wanted to make this space a space of versalitiy and multi purpose. The hope was that there would also be a waterway underneath passing through to provide a sense of naturesque fell to the structure. The model would look cold if I simply left it at concrete and glass. I also believe having more greenery not makes the space lively but adds the right amount of character to invite those occupying the space. The original design had a lot of concrete material being used so I wanted to both use that element but also modify How I use concrete and adding glass as a secondary element to the project

The modernized cabin features lots of natural light and clean lines. It provides privacy for the guest since It is designed in the mountains to provide privacy and space to connect with nature. Furthermore, the usage of window walls in the work space and ribbon windows in the private spaces connected the units to the outside world; so the guest can have a beautiful view.

Project: Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory Architect: I.M. Pei/ Conklin and Rossant Area: 13,000 sq.ft. Volume: 862,053 cubic feet Year: 1983-1988 Location: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Within the 13,000 square feet there is a waterfall, a sky bridge (conservation gallery), a gift shop, and over 1,000 plant species existing in two distinct zones- Tropical Wet Zone and Tropical Dry Zone. The 15 acres of park include a children’s splash park, an amphitheater, dog park, outdoor gardens, two restaurants, ice rink, a great lawn for entertaining, and winding paths to connect to nature. There are 17 tri-cord, steel trusses that were custom made for this conservatory. They are spaced 14’ on center and have a diameter of 70 feet. 3,028 original acrylic panels cover the trusses to maintain the tropical atmosphere of the conservatory. Another form of temperature control for the conservatory: 20 evaporative coolers, providing 16,000 cubic feet of cooled air per minute.

Is it truly a long building? Remove the lobby and interior steep topography and you are left with a mere 112’ to display botanical collections. This extension fulfills the conservatory’s desire to stretch across the site connecting it to downtown Oklahoma City. Though the Crystal Bridge is located in a public park, it does not have the infrastructure to support populous communal gatherings. Therefore, our design incorporates large, open-air pavilions. To address the notable lack of sustainable systems incorporated into the original design, solar panels provide energy and shade the outdoor pavilions. To save further on energy and resources, water filtration systems have been integrated with the new wetland botanical collection to filter graywater. Architecture has the power to give people a sense of pride in their culture and place. It can also invoke a sense of responsibility to take care of their home. The Crystal Bridge is neither good nor bad in this regard. It is neutral. To bring this design home, the botanical history of its location is explored.

In the central and western areas of Oklahoma, vast grasslands are dominated by tallgrasses; in nature, these prairies are home to over 700 plant species, 300 birds, and 80 mammals. This exhibit also utilizes solar panels placed on the exterior of the open-air trusses. The wetlands of Oklahoma provide balance for nature’s ecosystem, shelter & food for animals, erosion protection, and natural water purification. they act as a “kidney” by recharging groundwater. We plan to use the “recharged” water from our wetlands exhibit to sustainably water our other exhibits of plant species. The agriculture exhibit highlights the importance of mankind’s relationship with earth, soil, and plants. Indigenous people would grow corn, beans, and squash together to preserve a harmonious and mutualistic relationship. Once agriculture became industrialized, much of the native ecosystems were lost to monocultures. Unfortunately, losing the integrity of the soil, and ultimately resulting in the Dust Bowl. All of these exhibits provide education on sustainability and preservation.

Our idea on broadening the design in a similar way as the current structure came from concentrating on the encompassing and the metropolitan arrangement, where the following square is a stopping structure which kills the energy of the site and the close by regions. The contemplation was to associate the two squares with this stretched design giving an inviting vibe to the site and fusing the space which are required for the local area to develop and create. Keeping a similar material as the current structure so we could keep up with the sustainability of the design by not adding different materials and expanding its upkeep cost. Proceeding with a similar structure and heading as the current structure won’t hurt the genuine plan however add an extra quality plan element to it. Planning this expansion, we attempted to give an answer for the advancement of the site, individuals of the spot, the current structure and the way of life of the city.

The Front Range glasshouse built by Allan Pendreigh is located in the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, Scotland. Built in 1967 the greenhouse consists of 5 interlinked greenhouses which feature botanical collections from 5 differential climate zones. Each house is seperated by glass walls reaching to the top of the roof and include the Arid Land House, Aquatics House, Temperate Plants, Tropical House and Ferns. The key goal of the approach was light and space. The architect aimed to have no interior supporting structure as this occupies space and the metal is subject to corrosion due to humidity. The 420 ft length of the main buidling was divided into 42 bays, each forming a supported portal frame. This frame consisted of a pair of lattice tetrahedrons which are integrated with a pair of spilt wide shaped rafters from which glazing hangs from the underside. Finally the supporting structure is suspended with stainless steel wires thus creating a structure free interior for plants to grow organically.

Entering the expansion phase of our project, my group chose to keep the same format of the original structure in order to create new spaces next to the original structure from 1967. We went through different irrurations and came up with two shorter spaces that run parallel to the original. One would be a new greenhouse to display a new collection of plants, and the second would be an event space. The decision for this came from wanting to provide an urban feel with the creation of streets made by the space between the structures, and to also link the new structures with the past history of the collection. Being that the original intent for the collection was to grow medicinal plants, the new structures will be made to hold medicinal plants again creating that connection to the past.

The first expansion which is 220 ft long is made to house medicinal plans to connect it to its past. The collection would consist of plants like star anise, pepper trees, saffron, turmeric cinnamon, and chamomile. The second expansion, 110 ft long, is designed as an event space where people can gather to host charity events or to celebrate special occasions to help the garden to generate additional funds. In terms of visitor movement, the two proposed buildings create better circulation than the original space had before. Visitors can easily be directed from the new buildings to the existing glasshouse by pergola connections that visually indicate the points of entry. Additionally, the area in front of the event space is designed as an open seating area for visitors to gather and enjoy the landscape of the site and admire the streets between the structures.

The Lucile Halsell Conservatory, designed by architect Emilio Ambasz in 1982, is located in San Antonio, Texas. It covers 40,000 SF and features five fragmented buildings surrounding a sunken central courtyard. The buildings are located underground, as a great example of the architect’s phrase “green over gray.” The surrounding earth protects the plants from the Texas heat and sun. The five existing greenhouses are balanced about the east/west axis of the site. In order to maintain this level of the balance in our expansion, we added two circular components along the axis to elongate it and we also added two new circular greenhouses on the north end of the site to balance the square structures on the south. We carefully organized the new expansion pieces to flow with the original circulation by adding new stops and keeping the design central to the main courtyard.

After looking at the rest of the program in the San Antonio garden we discovered that the site was missing a butterfly pavilion, Mediterranean shrublands, a coral reef, and an event courtyard. We were able to find a way to incorporate each of these programmatic features into the new expansion. The first of the two new greenhouses is a butterfly pavilion filled with flowering shrubs and bushes that attract this unique collection of insects. The second new greenhouse is a Mediterranean shrubland filled with a diverse collection of plants from dry, coastal areas. In the middle of the existing courtyard, the pond has been expanded underground to host a tank of marine life and corals and add to the diversity of botanical collections in the garden. Finally, the courtyard expansion is sunken into the ground like the rest of the project, and connects to the palm house along the main axis of the site.

The physical model uses butter board to represent the concrete retaining walls and steel space frame of the versatile roof forms. The shielding topography was recreated with laser-cut chipboard. All of the greenhouses are buried underground with only the glass roof forms above grade. This was done intentionally so that the earth could be used to separate and insulate the greenhouses and efficiently create five unique climate zones. The expansion that we designed consists of four new components that continue the pattern of fragmented buildings on site. These new additions maintain a sense of balance within the project while also introducing new ecosystems and necessary programmatic elements.

The roof forms were created by combining and deconstructing simple geometric shapes such as cones, cylinders, and pyramids. Each one is unique and specific to the climate it holds. We used the same technique for the new roof forms that we designed by starting with simple conical forms and transformed them into shapes that fit their programs. The Mediterranean rooftop lets in just enough light for the shrublands below, and has been broken into two forms to make room for an important pathway that runs overhead. The butterfly pavilion maintains its conical shape to create plenty of space for the butterflies to spread their wings. The tube running down the center grounds the structure and provides the perfect space for a palm tree to shade the greenhouse.

Fred Eicher was the Landscape architect for this project, collaborating with Hans and Anne Marie Hubacher and Peter Issler as the designers of the domes. The design of the new and old Botanical Garden could be regarded as loosely inspired. In the sense that a concentric steel grid with glass panels is maintained. After 35 years of operation the buildings showed striking signs of aging, especially the domes of the tropical show houses. The glazing of the hothouse domes, in particular, had lost much of its translucency due to obscuration and algal growth. With so much of their original Light transmission having been lost, the plant growth was severely impaired. The New Shell meets all requirements for aesthetics and transparency for plant growth, statics, heat protection and durability. The old plexiglass has been replaced with a doubleshell acrylic glass cover with separately ventilated space.

The Botanical garden is embedded in the tissue of the city. Therefore our concept was to extract an expansion from the pre-existing structure of the garden while enhancing the characteristics that define it. As it serves as one of the primary recreational spaces of the University of Zurich we embodied this activity in the form of a Public Space/ Garden Cafe dome. Another emerging activity at the garden is a patch of Community Garden in the vicinty of the domes. By expanding on this program we were able to formalize and promote this activity, in a new Community Garden dome.

A careful expansion to the Tropicarium greenhouse at Frankfurt’s Palmengarten respects the original intent while making a creative departure. The repeating unit in the 1980s complex is a stellated octagram, inspired by the self-shading ribs of a cactus. Secondary spaces are simple octagons. The south building houses the dry tropics and contains three of each shape. The north building houses the wet tropics and contains four of each shape. Each building is subdivided by continent of origin. Expansion looks beyond the binary of wet versus dry, and adds the important high-altitude tropical biome. The addition follows the existing grid in plan, while introducing a mountain profile in elevation. Containing two stellated octagrams and two octagons, it is subdivided by continent as well, with one mountain face representing eastern Africa and the other displaying species from the Andes.

The above image pictures elevations of a greenhouse named the Tropicarium, and its proposed expansion, located in the Palmengarten in Frankfurt, Germany. As this greenhouse splits its space between housing plants from both dry and wet tropics, we proposed a third structure filled with alpine tropical plants from mountainous regions such as Mt. Kilimanjaro. The structure and construction of the expansion and roof mimic that of the interior mountain topography, yet thoughtfully reuse elements of the existing greenhouse and its timeless design. Further, the program of the expansion is that of a “sanctuary”, contrasting with the busyness of the Palmengarten’s other various programs. Through a project like this, we see that architecture is not limited to an entirely new or novel idea, but is always a sum of the constraints or ideas that came before. This expansion is a hopeful synthesis of those preexisting ideas and new ways to design a more than just a glass box for plants.

Our proposal enriches the existing tropical collection in Palmengarten, Frankfurt, as it provides an alpine tropical house that complements the dry and wet tropical houses. In terms of its structure, the new building obeys the existing grid and overall dimensions. However, the roof and facade profiles are altered to meet the needs of the internal space. It is said that the former director and architect of the Palmengarten: Gustav Schoser’s chief metaphor for the existing shape of the single greenhouses of the Tropicarium was “inspired by the morphology of cacti, with pronounced ribs that would produce, at least to some extent, some [sort] of self-shading.” In contrast, the expansion’s metaphor symbolises that of a mountain. Furthermore, the scheme’s chosen primary program is to be a sanctuary: a semiisolated, intimate, social space, which also contrasts with the current secondary programs of food and beverage, shops, gardens, a private library, a herbarium, recreation lawns and playgrounds. The plan is to mimic the qualities of a reflective and thought-provoking space, where its users can escape from the business of life and the rest of the Palmengarten.

The conservatory is named after Princess Augusta, who founded Kew Gardens in 1759 and inaugurated by princess Diana in 1987. The new building replaced 26 smaller buildings in Kew gardens. A conservatory’s orientation and form are the key issues for a successful design and the search for an appropriate, optimum form should be rigorous. PWC is located in the Kew gardens and has ten different climatic zones and a huge variety of plants. We tried to blend in and connect our cocoon idea with the existing building using the same 18’ common grid to space out the trusses. Also, keeping the same truss angle of 26.5 in certain areas and other angles are 13.25, 53 and 30 which is depending on the needs of program and design. We wanted to keep a consistency of material with the existing building. It was crucial to make a connection without overwhelming the existing design or programs.

The focus for our expansion was to develop a new space that is unique but maintains a strong connection to the site and to the existing conservatory. Our proposed addition would contribute a butterfly garden and display, interactive lab experience, giftshop, and event space. Great care was taken to conserve the iconic linear aesthetic. Gordon Wilson, the original architect, chose to express the structural elements on the exterior of the building in order to preserve the delicate and awe-inspiring nature of the interior. Continuing his design intent, the expansion emulates the structural expression and planning. This addition will not only add to the ten botanical exhibits but will also provide an exciting connection to the city and to the historic Kew Gardens.

This semester, my team and I took on an adaptive reuse of the United States Embassy in Dublin, Ireland. The “building that turns it’s back on noone”, designed by architect John M. Johansen, is an iconic landmark that sits on a small corner site within an expanding business district. As the city grows, the embassy building is nearing the end of its lifecycle. As a result, we proposed a hotel design that transforms the building into a prominent destination for diplomats and business travelers. Inspired by the unique diagrid structure, we expanded vertically, adding 15 new floors that overlook the city. Each floor provides a different perspective of the site. The lower levels connect visitors to the adjacent historic buildings and the higher levels reveal the expansion of the city. In addition, each level contains 3 public, double-high balconies that immerse visitors in nature and engage with Dublin’s rainy climate by directing stormwater runoff into the overlapping green spaces.

The project was Adaptive Re-use of US Embassy Building. The selected building was US Embassy of Dublin, Ireland which is reused as a Business Hotel. Carbon emission is one of the major factors in Ireland with 3.7 billion tons CO2 produced by Dublin alone in 1 year. To deal with this issue Ireland has set a target for decreasing the carbon footprint by 48% by the time we reach 2030, with the help of NZEB Policy (Near Zero Energy Building). In the new design of the building, to meet the NZEB we incorporated green break-out spaces in each floor which acts as the carbon filter as well as a source of daylighting into the building. We also designed a double heighted green tranquility space for guests to relax, unwind, and detoxify from daily life.

Our group selected the U.S. Embassy in Dublin, Ireland and adapted the existing 3 story building by adding 15 floors and changing the program into a hotel. Each floor of the new structure includes three outdoor green space as well as a void, in between hotel rooms, that shift radially to create a linked garden space from ground to sky. These outdoor green spaces allow light to enter the interior atrium as the building grows. The cuts in the floor plate allow for rain to fall on the floors below, watering the plants and engaging the rainy climate of Dublin. This rotation and cut in the floor plate also create a visual vertical connection for the users to interact, creating a sense of community. In conclusion, the main idea of outdoor green spaces solved existing issues of lack of interior light, connecting to the climate, and public spaces for users to inhabit.

Hotel Colombo has been derived from a 1960’s U.S. embassy. At the time of construction much of the surrounding land had been undeveleloped. Sri Lanka’s current building codes are the result of a tightly confined cityscape. The groups decision then became how to break this ideology by bringing back the natural environment for both public and private use. The projects original building sits adjacent to the ocean, but it fails to capture the views or the breezes. As the concept further developed, we introduced a second building with a rotation to maximize views and create a wind scoop that would aid air circulation throughout the hotel. In considering how the building would then be connected back into the city, a landscape bridge was developed. This bridge connects from the project to a nearby train station allowing guests and the public daily use. The bridge has been designed to allow for users to stop and enjoy scenery as they traverse the different spaces.

Prior to our design modifications on the U.S. Embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the embassy’s structural intentions were very unique. The architect Victor Lundy used teak wood vertical slats to create privacy and added opportunities for cross ventilation and successfully shaded the building from the region’s humid climate. Reconfiguring the new program consisted of bringing it from private to a more public structure to draw the public to the building and its site. We used the buildings’ adjacency to the ocean and train railway station to our advantage and concluded that a bigger hotel would be beneficial to the area. With the addition to the existing building, we worked to create a variety of spaces dividing private spaces for hotel users and the public areas which welcome all guests. The ground floor would serve the public consisting of restaurants to encourage activation of the site and outdoor dining to take advantage of the landscape and proximity to the ocean.

After analyzing the context surrounding the U.S. Embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka, our team discovered that the area had become highly compact and urbanized since the construction of the building in 1985. Small businesses, office buildings, and small hotels populate most of the surrounding context. We used the buildings’ adjacency to the ocean and train railway station to our advantage and concluded that a bigger hotel would be beneficial to the area. The lack of green spaces in the city drove the concept of our design. The goal was to create an urban park with various gathering spaces to welcome not just tourists but also the local people of the area. The ground floor of the hotel consists of public restaurants to activate the site, and our design serves as a prototype to create more public parks throughout the city and to make this hotel and urban park part of their community.

The eight thousand square foot elevated form became the central communal space for the students. With the lack of green spaces located in the heart of this very humid climate region of Ghana, our group decided to make a mini oasis by expanding our design based on the original grid system to the edges of the site. To house the students seven pods were created which are raised eight feet above the ground.

The Oslo Hotel and Hostel combines the two different programs into two interconnected structures. The original triangular structure houses the luxurious, more private hotel experience, keeping pre-existing aspects that gave it grandeur. The additional structure beside it houses the hostel experience where guests share rooms, shaping a more sociable atmosphere. Drawing the line between luxury and affordability, our project creates a comfortable connection between the two using a pathway that connects the hostel to the hotel atrium and a bridge connecting the 4th floor of the hotel to the rooftop event and bar space of the hostel. The first floor of both are entirely dedicated to amenities and lobbies while the upper floors are all rooms for guests. Using the hotel atrium and hostel rooftop as key areas, we encourage guests to travel to and from as they wish, while still giving them the option of privacy.

The proposal for adaptive reuse and expansion of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, Norway, provides a new outlook in terms of tourism and experience. It makes room for the co-existence of two polar experiences- a luxury hotel and an affordable hostel while preserving the historical and architectural significance of the original structure. The structure is a significant part of Oslo’s history, making the stay a part of the tourism one comes to experience. The addition complements the original idea of the structure and respects the palace surrounding, making it a balance between respecting the proximity yet having an independent monumental expression. The addition is a slice of an extended triangle that completes the shape, creating a light canyon between the structure and its addition serving as a middle ground between luxury and affordability keeping the function of daylight intact.

Given this local site, I am tasked with thinking globally while acting locally when dealing with the global crisis of sustainability and climate change. The site’s context informs that a void of a true center for the performing arts needs to be filled. The underutilized, single-purpose spaces of the existing theater are transformed to redefine art and performance in the local town of Scottsdale. Art and performance is brought to the common man through the study of regionalism, vernacular, and traditions, where old narratives resurface through transformation. An architectural palimpsest is created, bridging a connection to previous moments in history. Performance occurs outside of the theater, communicating that art may be informal and in the act of processing through a space. Metaphorically, this conveys that performance is created by the common man and should never be exclusive.

The main concept of my project is the service road, ocated between the parking garage and all four of my buildings, that serves as the main access point into the overall site. As you proceed into the main site, I created a space in this service road where local artists can hang art installation and make an inviting space that people will want to experience as they wonder throughout the Civic Center.

Unless there is a performance being held, the building remains essentially unused. How can the performing arts center evolve to truly be a central hub for the performing arts? My intervention seeks to redefine what performing arts truly means by expanding its definition. By removing unnecessary spaces, I have added to the building various performance spaces which did not exist prior, including a dance studio, circus acrobatics, culinary arts restaurant, and a sports performance arena. Additionally, I have physically opened the building to the adjacent park, and I have invited the nature of the park into the prefunction space.

To make it more economical and sustainable, I have designed natural light diffusers in such a way that no harsh sunlight can come in. Parking structure curtain walls are also designed with vertical vegetation on it so that when the wind blows, cold breeze can come through and maintain decent temperature. The approaching road to the parking structure is not in that much of use right now. So, I developed it for street festivals and to make it more usable and livelier.

The restoration and modification of the existing parking structure building, located inside the SMOCA are in the Downtown of Scottsdale. The project is an architectural experiment about how the radical re-use of existing buildings can make a vivid and appropriate ‘place’ and a space for contemporary art. Providing a variety of spaces for art, installations and sculpture both inside and out, the existing building has been sensitively restored and combined with contemporary interventions in the form of one-story extension with the hill to form an aggregate of the manmade and the nature. My design was influenced by Arizona nature (with deserts, cacti, gorgeous plants and canyons) and I decided to cover the parking structure with a channelglass façade, like an unmelted ice cube with the sound of creaking inside.

Prior to development and construciton, the historical culture that has existed along the existing site has neared its end. Community, music, collaboration, and the traditions of latin-american history are begging to be revived in this space. This project proposes a form of biotecture where what goes in must come out. A cycle of sustainability emerges to revive and encourage artist living, art development, and art showcase. The south structure along the food and beverage strip becomes an open, inviting area for plant shopping, studio and sell spaces, flea markets, and private affordable living spaces for struggling artists. Connected on the north end lies the revival of a Latin-American cuisine which provides a culinary and dance environment with an added greenhouse as its rooftop for residents and culinary artists to grow and harvest their ingredients. A pedestrian prioritized alleyway eliminates the backs of biuildings while a flow is now created throughout the strip to encourage a consistent cycle of collaboration.

The studio was about proposing expansion for the existing museum and restaurant at Scottsdale using sustainable materials. The site is divided into 6 zones, museum, sculpture garden, culinary institute, restaurant, co-lab, and open arena. The main idea for the design is to create a platform for the artist where they can work, collaborate and display their art. The terrace of Los Olivos is designed as cultural space, it can be accessed through ramp which starts at the sidewalk. It is carved from the glass wall which is mimicked from glass scrim wall designed by James Carpenter. The ramp goes over the sculpture garden which is between the museum and restaurant. Sculptures can be viewed from the ground level and along the ramp. Sculpture garden is covered with a jute fiber canopy which creates an interesting play of light and shadow.

The intent of this project was to revitalize the food and beverage strip area that serves the Scottsdale Civic Mall, and provide dynamic interventions to encourage community interaction. This was done by unifying the existing context through form and establishing connections to the park. The adaptive reuse approach of the project allowed for the exploratioin of the relationship between existing (mass) and the new unifying intervention, portrayed by the lighter tectonic pieces that infilled the void. The project also explored the ramifications of extending the edges of the park, which consisted of providing interior green spaces in the building and intentional interventions within the new park diagram. This allowed the interior program to be broken up in favor of spaces to foster creative interactions and human connections, but also for the incorporations of sustainbale methods and practices to reduce the pereceived heat and heat island affect.

Wells Fargo Avenue is in dire need of transformation, one that would shift the scale towards a humancentric perspective. Spaces should be shaped by the needs of the people who occupy them. The new reality existing between SMOCA and Los Olivos must then juxtapose temporary activities against permanent spaces. Inspired by middle eastern bazaar’s, half of Los Olivos will be torn down; its debris shape towering gabion walls in order to accommodate a thriving marketplace throughout the day and night. Where roadway once existed across the site, a xeriscaped park is introduced. SMOCA and its interior will be left alone for the sake of sustainability (why change what isn’t broken), however a new second story will be constructed out of new growth timber for gallery spaces, leaving the first floor open to any variety of artistic pursuit.

Scottsdale Civic Mall exists as a site with little respite from the desert’s sun and was in need of a transformation that encouraged higher levels of pedestrian activity. The reimagined lawn includes various spaces intended for local artists, such as studios, storage facilities, pavilion and playground. Metal shade structures float above the entire length of the lawn to provide shade for users and a visually playful appearance. The shades use amoeba forms that coexist with the geometric forms found throughout the site’s built environment. This is a direct reference to the original architect of Civic Center, Bennie Gonzales, who often blanched fluid and angular forms with one another. The Northern facade of the bridge was kept intact and carved into to provide a viewing space atop the bridge; the journey to the top of the bridge includes stairs, ramps, greenery and seating intended to host spectators at the pavilion. The site becomes an interactive campus for social connection while being inclusive to artists.

Los Olivos and Smoca are two buildings in Scottsdale that are genuinely monotonous to the visual eye. With a lack of community engagement, they challenge to hold any importance. To keep the concept sustainable, we maintain the buildings’ structures by developing a second floor to hold a cafe and greenhouse that encourages community engagement precious to Scottsdale. We hope that the two disconnected entities could pacify their disassociation by joining together and “meet halfway.” This complements the structure of the project by having the community circulate throughout the spaces.

Built in 1953, by Raleigh architect G. Milton Small, Jr., Burlington Nuclear Laboratories at North Carolina State University is the first of its kind to include a nuclear reactor on a university campus. In the expansion of the lab building, the aim was to design a space where students, faculty, and researchers could collaborate and share ideas. The laboratories transform to centralize and focus on group opportunities instead of individual work. Introducing a fusion power plant in the building brings back the heart and purpose of the building. The roof is redesigned and expanded to accommodate the new reactor, adding a bioclimatic response. A substantial amount of heat dissipates from the reactor, so the ventilation system is converted to a mist system. The proposed roof is a steel and glass frame, with ball and socket joints. There are four structural columns; two columns hold harvested rainwater, one is for mist circulation, and one is for electrical.

Burlington Laboratories, circa 1953, was designed by the architect G. Milton Small, Jr. The expansion design allowed us to reintroduce a fusion power plant into the building. The space was expanded to allow the heat to radiate upwards and cool the room passively. The newly installed reactor is taller than the original reactor; therefore, expansion of the roof is necessary. The reactor room emits a considerable amount of heat; therefore, the roof was expanded to allow heat to radiate upwards and cool the room passively. There are gutters on the bottom exterior that harvest and collect rainwater which will then be used to reduce the water demand and cool the reactor room. In terms of education, the nuclear reactor can network experts in the field with research scholars and with students. By having this machinery available, the collaboration spectrum is wider and more beneficial for all people involved.

The Burlington Nuclear Labs was the first of its kind to have a peacetime research nuclear reactor. The original design was highly dictated by the reactor and a strong sense of hierarchy, contrary to what is needed today. The proposed redesign focuses on breaking the boundaries of learning and creating a coworking space. Students will now be able to collaborate freely with their peers and mentors. The proposed expansion is also a nod to the idea of ‘development in nuclear future’ and aimed at introducing a new, greener, and more efficient reactor. Where once there was a discussion of the ‘use of nuclear energy’, there now will be a discussion of ‘integrating the nuclear energy for daily use’. Like the new nuclear reactor, the structure also aims to be greener by including sustainable design strategies, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and the use of the reactor’s heat and energy.

In 1951, Marcel Breuer built the Ferry House Cooperative Dormitory at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, USA. While his original goal included space for a communal spirit to flourish, he could not foresee the 21st-century needs for a rapidly growing college campus. In addition to adopting the bedrooms to be more pandemicfriendly, one of my studio project group’s goals was to create more environmentally friendly communal space on the grounds of Marcel Breuer’s Ferry House. Our design solution consisted of a communal garden and greenhouse for the students of Ferry House, who grow and cook their own meals. Ideally, the students of Ferry House could host a farmer’s market to sell any excess crops and further fund the needs of the cooperative dormitory. Additionally, you will find a multipurpose relaxation area on the right side of the render, where students can do yoga, homework, or catch up with their friends.

Marcel Breuer’s design for the Ferry House was constructed in 1951 on the Vassar College campus in Poughkeepsie, New York. As a cooperative dormitory housing twenty-four students, it was necessary to transform the design to better suit 21stcentury living and learning. One glaring issue is that the existing design was not physically accessible, as the bedrooms were located on the second floor with only a staircase to reach them; thus, an elevator has been added. Existing built-in beds were raised, further restricting accessibility. To combat this issue and apply lessons from the recent global pandemic, we decided to implement bunked beds that align to a sliding door and allow the bedrooms to divide into equal halves. In our proposed design, half of the beds become accessible to all, and the bedrooms have the option to transform for single occupancy if the need arises. These changes work together to make the overall structure more equitable and user-friendly.

The kitchen for the dormitory was reviewed as one of the major shared spaces for which an update was vital. Ideally, this area would have been a space to facilitate qualitative time-sharing and interactions among students beyond cooking. However, the former kitchen was outdated, and its design failed to incorporate the openness and expanse that could transform cooking from being a labour into a range of recreational pursuits. The proposed design demolishes the outdated kitchen to revamp it into a 360-degree kitchen with a bar counter. The new version would enable students to connect to the kitchen but also facilitate catering to the public using the bar counter. The design opens the dorm to the students and public simultaneously, reinforcing Marcel Breuer intent to create a multi-layered interaction space for everyone who visits.

Transforming a 1950s humble, previously defunct, energy-inefficient boiler plant at the Illinois Institute of Technology designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a labor of love. It did not start out that way. We witnessed a caterpillar’s metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly. This metaphorical description attests to the innate, inherent aspirations of the caterpillar—moth, or butterfly; it cannot be anything else. Our caterpillar, the boiler plant, is destined to realize its potential that lies dormant; potential waiting to be made manifest by caring hearts and hands. Our elegant, yet humble boxy boiler plant has been waiting to fulfill its potential-to bring 21st century thoughtful, considerate, and sustainable design and technology to our schools, colleges, and universities. Our design proposal includes attention and efforts towards designing for integration, equitable communities, economy/energy, wise water usage/ecosystems, resources/materials, location, climate, abundance, health and well-being and discovery. We believe we succeeded.

Yale University Art Gallery houses a major encyclopedic collection of art in interconnected buildings on the university campus in New Haven, Connecticut. Louis Kahn’s museum design was the first modernist structure at Yale. Structural innovation permitted Kahn to treat the galleries as flexible, open exhibition spaces, easily transformed by modular walls designed to move in any direction along the grid of the ceiling. The proposed expansion is an attempt to break this pattern which could result in museum fatigue. The objective is to provide visitors with an interactive environment for well-being. A cut is made into the existing building on the southwest side for a roof garden area with an exposed façade that stimulates the sense of smell, a skylight between the new and old art gallery, and a classroom with a view of the previously underused sculpture garden. The proposed path with breaks gives the opportunity of exiting the gallery before it becomes exhaustive or overstimulating while remaining in the museum.

The YUAG is an engaging art museum, with three interconnected buildings, constructed in various architectural styles. Having a timeless appearance, they tell us their own tale from their unique eras. The architectural legacy and design of these buildings have been extending out into the community, welcoming visitors of all backgrounds to experience art firsthand. After analyzing the activities within the Louis Kahn building, which engages people and art on multiple levels on the interior and exterior, various connectivity patterns in the exhibition spaces were discovered, leading to a problem called “Visual Overstimulation and Museum Fatigue,” which many people experience inside the gallery. This design is an attempt to take practical efforts to address this problem, such as staying on a set path and taking pauses when necessary to create such a space inside the gallery. ‘HERE, IT’S NOT ART. IT’S ARCHITECTURE. PLEASE TOUCH’ is a phrase that inspired us to create an interactive design.

Louis Khan, architect, and Yale professor designed New Gallery, in 1953, which is the focus of the proposed design expansion. The building was refurbished by Ennead Architects in 2004. The lack of calm and breakaway spaces in the building, according to our research, contributes to museum weariness and sensory overstimulation. The proposed design breaks up the exhibit space, creates new openings on the southwest side of the building to allow sunlight into the gallery, and provides a new classroom with a view to the previously underused sculpture garden (for the sense of sight) and terrace garden (for the sense of smell) to balance the visual overstimulation inside the gallery by keeping original contextual forces and existing building logics in mind. The majority of the gallery’s exhibits are permanent, so the proposal does not disrupt the building’s circulation flow, instead it connects newly introduced spaces with a trail outside the building that resembles a snake to surround and protect the structure.

The Yale Art Gallery is in New Haven, Connecticut. The gallery occupies Street Hall, old Yale Art Gallery, and the New Gallery designed by Louis Kahn. The challenge was to find problem in the existing building and give a solution for it. From all the research we concluded that the museum lacks a calm place for people suffering from museum fatigue and sensory overstimulation. The best solution was to create warm, open, welcomed, silent spaces in the gallery, which was much needed for the people coming from active/noisy spaces. We tried to connect the interior spaces with the exterior spaces by giving an open classroom with the clear view of sculpture garden. We created a roof garden which allows the natural light to enter the building and gives the spaces a feel of calmness. Every aspect was designed while keeping original contextual forces and existing building logics in mind.

Our proposal for Meredith Hall at Drake University is centered around creating a holistic class environment. Proposed changes focus on the integration of “Cohorts”, which are groups of 20 to 30 students who spend their whole student careers amongst each other with a single mentoring professor. The classrooms are built to allow more open discussions among both teachers and the students, and spaces nearby emphasize group study. There are also separate dedicated group-study spaces for each individual cohort, designed to allow them to study and work together even if they aren’t in the same classes. The proposed building design features a cut through its center, for the purpose of improving the building’s circulation, and providing a place to gather and collect excess rainwater.

Miesian style integrates seamlessly into assemblyline education, where students listen, memorize, regurgitate, then quickly forget. To reintegrate depth and retention in the learning process we have suggested the programmatic change of cohorts to Mies’ glass box at Drake University. This new program suggests a learning style reflective of mentorship, where small groups of twenty or more students learn together under a head professor for the entirety of their higher education program. To accommodate this conversation-based program we have added circular conference rooms in place of flat lecture halls and private cohort study spaces. The ambient environment is given a higher hierarchy with sound-reflecting panels, a cut of green space through the circulation path, and visually stimulating additions like the new building skin. All proposed additions draw students into conversation, creative contemplation, and give space to learn within the cohort system.

JAKE ROSENBERGER

For this project our group applied a cohort approach to the design, rather than completely change the existing building. The proposed design tackles the program of the space rather than the physical appearance. Cohort principles shaped the building by molding it into circular spaces. Circular spaces are an ideal shape for the design because some research suggests that classrooms work best in circular forms. The approach to learning, and the approach to space work in tandem. The proposed design creates open spaces, circular desks, and organic programmatic spaces within the existing building. We propose to add a façade to the building to make the organic spaces more functional. The façade creates an open space in between the existing façade and the new, to add landscaping and create a new pocket of life.

The House of Wisdom Library + Cultural Center focuses on bringing the community together and providing all necessary services for the future. While respecting the history behind its name, this expansi1on is driven by the vast landscape that captures the library as a meeting point and addresses its lack of outdoor shade. The parametric structure is inspired by a piece of public art located on-site made by Gerry Judah, the Scroll. This amplifies the cultural aspect of the library and provides new circulation. Furthermore, it enhances the rectilinear façade and complements a new green space with an emphasis on bringing the interior space of the library into the exterior. The bathhouse acts as a sanctuary space that recalls the ancient imperial bath complex. Placed below the large parametric structure, this space provides a source of humidity and escape from the harsh climate of the UAE within a relaxing rammedearth environment and gathering space. This acts as an invitation to connect in a setting where sensual absorption replaces small talk.

Above is a floorplan from the second phase of our project this semester in which we had to research and reproduce existing drawings for our case study library. We chose to look primarily at the first floor because our expansion would begin at the ground level. We inspected the existing circulation between four main structures to determine our exact design. Our expansion was affected by both a water feature around the auditorium and its circular shape. We sought to enhance both rather than to detract from either. I believe that we achieved an overall balance between existing conditions and our programmatic scope with our decisions regarding the layout of stairs as well as the selection of materials. My favorite thing about this semester was the opportunity to finally explore the campus woodshop and to learn how to use new design materials and tools. We used wood and aluminum for our physical site model. It was a delightful experience getting to hand saw, laser cut, and physically assemble all the pieces together into a final product.

Throughout the studio, I learned the significance of collaboration. It was a great experience to be able to bounce ideas off of one another and to help increase our skill levels through shared personal knowledge. We were able to assist one another in areas where one individual might be lacking in proficiency. One thing that I enjoyed the most was the open discussion within our studio regarding possible developments that might improve individual expansions. This was a time in which we all sat together as a collective team and discussed how we could improve our project rather than having our professor solely critique our final presentations. It created an open dialogue between every student and the professor. In this way, each expansion that was designed by a team of three people had the added insight of an entire studio group. It gave us a sense of collaboration within an architectural firm in which we are each working on multiple projects and coming together regularly to motivate and to inspire one another.

While paying homage to the history of the site, our expansion of the House of Wisdom centers around its program and the community it serves as well as a drive to challenge the traditional functions of a library. The new bathhouse represents the practice of bringing strangers together while also creating a quiet place in which an individual can reflect. The new outdoor parametric structure blends the modern facade of the building with the timeless grace of the Scroll, an artistic installation within the landscape. Acting as a transitional form into an existing outdoor space, it complements the openness of the new rooftop garden while contrasting the refuge of the new bathhouse below ground. The collaborative experience of working in a team for this project was a true glimpse into the professional reality of working within an architectural firm. I believe that our expansion project successfully wove together individual concepts while reflecting the inspirations of all three team members. It challenged our skill and our imagination while showing us the meaning of architectural design.

This studio was an energizing examination of the library - past, present and future. As a member of a three person team, I researched, reconstructed and expanded upon the Royal Library in Copenhagen, Demark and the Black Diamond addition that was completed in 1999. The intention of the studio was to imagine an expansion that would serve the library program of 2100. The studio work was an engaging review of the existing site as well as an analysis of program, material and form for the new expansion. I utilized each directive to shape my basis for assessing contextual drivers that effect the typology of the public library and define innovation. The basis for the final expansion was the sustainability initiatives implemented by Copenhagen in recent decades. For me, the real learning experience came from the creation of various illustrated site plans and the construction of physical models. I grew in my ability to represent architectural design through iterative studio work this semester.

To start, I would like to thank the faculty for making an in-person experience possible this semester. It has been a true blessing. As a student within the 3+ Year Master of Architecture program, I come from a differing background in Urban Planning. While architecture is new to me, I have absorbed information like a spone since my first day at ASU nearly a year and a half ago. This semester has been an extension of that learning experience. However, it is the first time that I have felt comfortable and confident in my ability. I attribute this new found mindset to finally take risk and to being okay with failure. I learned that I cannot learn from experience if I don’t push beyond the boundary of perceived failure. Design is an iterative process. As designers, we need to be able to accept our shortcomings and be able to move beyond them. I have finally accepted failure as a natural part of design. I attribute this to my growth this semester.

The Bunjil Place Library in Narre Warren, Australia is an impressive structure with many programmatic uses. In our expansion project, we added another use that we feel will benefit the community in the future based on trends we see today. With so many people finding career paths within digital content creation, even early in life, they often find themselves limited by a lack of quality equipment or space in which to create. Our expansion will make these things accessible to anyone. We created a new wing filled with equipment and space that encourages and accommodates creative individuals to self organize. In a system of pods, they will have access to anything they need to become a professional digital content creator. Throughout the semester, I learned new skills and strengthened others. This project helped me to learn to look outside of my natural instincts and to create something in which individuals of the community can find value and follow their passion.

This semester has been one of my most collaborative studios to date. I appreciated the collective nature and group focus of the studio because it provided the opportunity for shared brainstorming along with the ability to produce a project to completion in greater detail. Our group was assigned an expansion to the Library Brasiliana in Sao Paulo, Brazil. After case study research and existing drawing reconstruction, we were able to design and produce a simple modular idea for our expansion. The Library Brasiliana houses thousands of rare national books as well as being home to the Institute for Brazilian History at the university. Our group took this as an opportunity to organize topical information from various collections into modular rooms of focused interdisciplinary study. We also created a space not typically found in most libraries by designing a meditative rooftop greenhouse. One area of the expansion concentrates thought toward focused study while the other encourages a mindful break.

The single family home, suburban grid and car centric society are a glimpse of architectural responses derived from The Second Industrial Revolution in the late 19th Century. These responses are rooted in values around commodification, domestication, individualism and the selling of “The American Dream”.

These values were a catalyst for the

horizontal sprawl and suburbia as we know it today. What if we began to redefine our values away from the individual and car centric society, to one rooted in community and accessibility? I therefore challenge and desire to reshape the suburban grid, rooted in the context of Los Angeles, California. Through small, community, grassroots efforts, we as a collective, can begin to break down physical barriers and property lines to allow communal spaces to be shared. The soft infrastructure, of a customizable pergola system, is to act as a physical and metaphorical framework which not only holds space to gather but weaves the once individualistic communities back together.

This project is aimed at homeless individuals and the general public. It also featured the landscape, residential units and infrastructure as part of the communal housing project. As a result, the Los Angeles State Historic Park was chosen as the location, as it offers a tranquil environment near the downtown area. The immediate notion is, what about housing homeless individuals in temporary flats that are not intended for long-term use? The homeless shelter should be portable, with temporary mobility, inexpensive, and lightweight. Inflatable structures, as a result, are an ideal answer. It offers a competitive feature set at an inexpensive price. The living unit is set up on a wood slad. It can be inflated when in use and deflated when stored under the ground. Each unit provides a single air bed. Two infrastructures were set up close to the entrance to provide a landuary and a toilet inside of it. My project’s main goal is to be used not only by homeless people, but also by people who want to spend the night there.

My proposal was to provide a community space living for the homeless mainly concentrating upon the chronically homeless and families who are in need of a housing.The proposed site is located in in the Elysian Valley also called the frog town and it also has LA river on one side and the community on the other side. This communty spaces inculde single bedroom , double bedroom houses along with a common communty courtyard where all the residents can interact with each other. On the ground floor of each residential block is the retail store also providing employement for the homeless people living in the community. I have also designed a grid space that acts as a market space where anyone can install stalls and sell goods and materials again increases the interaction between the community and the public.

This project was dedicated to creating an inclusive and adaptive community to consider homeless people as part of the neighborhood. The space is designed for everyone to bring more social resources to homeless people as transitional housing to get homeless people back to society and help them stand on their own feet. Instead of hoping to change and make them back to the community, this project brings us to the homeless people and encourages us to change first and then influence them. The modularity and flexibility of thearchitectural elements give everyone lots of freedom to choose how much they want to pay and what living conditions they wish to have. The poor people who cannot afford a house will get a dwelling unit and lots of infrastructures facilitating this social housing. The wealthy people can have their houses by putting units together to create their own functional homes. We don’t have any ideology about homeless people and truly consider them as part of the community, love them and care for them.

Los Angeles has a lot of abandoned buildings and parking garages and giving a new purpose to these structures by housing single mothers is my proposal for this project. The site I chose is an abandoned parking garage next to the Hawthorne plaza in Hawthorne city, LA. The concept of my design is informed by the urban location and division of zoning of programs within my site. It also houses a shared community space along with space for case workers, training rooms and a shop. Individual terrace gardens are provided for organic farming that would give the women an opportunity to engage in community activities outside of the space and also earn money by selling the produce in the open spaces provided within the site. The inner courtyard space is the heart of my design that showcases a pavilion shaped as wings of a falcon which symbolically represents resilience and the desire to fly and break barriers.

HOMELESSNESS in Los Angeles. The need for shelter is a basic human need. In the United States, the number of homeless people grew in the 1980s, as welfare cuts increased. Considering the city of Los Angeles. Youth homelessness is different from adult homelessness, Homeless young people are at higher risk of exploitation and trafficking on the streets. Young people in particular share an inherent optimism about the possibilities that lie ahead. We must leverage this opportunity. Almost 50% of homeless adults in our community experience homelessness for the first time before the age of 25. Helping young people move forward is our most effective strategy in preventing and ending adult homelessness. Connection with culture gives a major drive to develop youth into the right direction using people and culture around them and inspiring them to get into their respective fields and lead a life.

The Social Void aims to create a new way of living for homeless single mothers in the city of Los Angeles. It promotes social interaction in small and large communities; creates possibilities for the residents to inhabit spaces outside of their own private realm while still feeling secure. The building must meet the demands of the community and provide the residents with a sense of belongingness, safety, security, permanency, and comfort. Furthermore, its goal is to integrate structure, people, and nature. The latter two are constantly evolving. The proposed design is an attempt to reconstruct living spaces, by using diverse configurations of solid and void for multiple functions and diverse social implications; a framework for living in the city where people shape their own environment. This place is their stepping stone to be reintroduced back into society through a place with a strong identity so the residents can identify with it and a new model for life in the city - a home which is their right.

Social housing in Los Angeles needs some serious attention and even bigger solutions. My approach was to use the underutilized existing structures in the downtown of Los Angeles - located in Fashion District to provide affordable, transitional housing for single mothers who are severely affected by homelessness. The proposed site is adjacent to Santee Alley that is buzzing with employement opportunities for these residents and is in close proximity to their accomodation and other amenities around them. The prefabricated units are placed in such a manner that each unit has a private balcony or outdoor space for use. This spatial organisation promotes active utilisation of space and social interaction amongst the residents. They have communal shared spaces such as mental health care, job training, common eating areas, and more to aid them with medical aid needed, procure skill sets they require to continue their journey towards stability and create a dependable relationship with those around them.

The project hopes to aid economic mobility to families by providing living spaces, community spaces, allowing access to classrooms, daycare, jobs within the community, easy access to transportation, and many other amenities. The Women’s Building across from the apartments, connected by a shared outdoor space, will host many events and fund-raisers to help promote work and gain experience as well as making connections.

Located in the wedge of the Elysian Valley, commonly known as Frogtown, Los Angeles, a formerly displaced community has built itself into a lively, evolving space. The ever-expanding community has progressed by creating connection through community events, local hospitality, and the comfortable feeling of the place - yet the neighborhood is lacking basic amenities that are needed to continue to grow and flourish. The goal of The Central Market is to bring all the key amenities to a singular location, allowing for ease of access to all spaces, resources, food opportunities, and business ideas into a singular space. Another key purpose for the market is to create connection from the Frogtown neighborhood to the LA River and local bike path.

Homelessness and affordable homes are critical in America, especially in the cities that are facing high raise in rent like Los Angeles. Throughout the semester and our trip to Los Angeles, California this concern and issues came full front to most of us as students. Therefore, for my project I did not focus only to providing space or homes for the homeless, but a place where anyone can find a place to raise his/her family. I took what I observed throughout the trip, and what I read to come with my project’s concepts. I focused on inclusive community since my project site is in a community with a diverse culture. The high rent pricing in California is affecting a lot of people more/or so on minorities. I chose my site because of the location and purpose. The site itself has a history within the Los Angeles neighborhoods or southern side of California.

My fall project is about understanding the way we view space and the edges of the city. Then this connected to the way we treat people and the ones who occupied those edges in the city. In this case, the homeless are pushed to the edges because we dont confront the stigma developed against them. My proposal is about healing the city and proposing Transitional Housing. This healing occurs by taking back the barriers in the city, in this case, the 101 freeway in Los Angeles. This healing occurs by first understanding the importance of knowing how La Plaza was at one point the heart of Los Angeles. However, with time it became detached by different actions. Actions that are concocted to the different events have shaped the people who live there.

The project site is in the vibrant downtown of Flagstaff and travels in time back into the old history of Sunset Crater and its relationship to the city. The form represents the reversed travel in time and the rough nature of Sunset Crater. The ramps take a person from the street level going through all spaces, following the principles of intention, extension, and isolation, to create unprecedented experience and a landmark. Finally, inspired by Rodden Crater’s bowl, the ramp journey ends with a broad and isolated space that provides an immersive feeling of connectivity between a person and the universe.

Embracing Entropy is an attempt to choreograph atmospheres referring to 4 components that unite history, nature, and artistic works: ancient, natural, vast, and curated. Spaces are created with the use of the following materials: soil, concrete, wood, metal, fabric, combined sequentially and overlayed with the impact of entropic forces during the gradual evolution of the project. Specific construction methods are applied for every atmosphere with the intention to initiate the process of natural decay, like exposing rebar, weathering wood, crumbling concrete, supporting Robert Smithson’s statement that “a work of art is not frozen at the moment of its completion”.

DISTRIBUTION OF SCALE IN TIME & SPACE TRANSCENDING HUMAN IMPACT What makes a spatial experience reach a level of sublime? Through the Land Art movement these elements of sublime can be seen as artists such as a James Turrell, Walter de Maria, Charles Ross, amongst others, use their spatial understanding of how architectural elements can serve as tools that can help reach these dream-like effects. An element that they all have in common is their distribution of scale (big and small), along with its relationship with time and space that can reach a human impact. For this proposal of the James Turrell Research Institute, the project insists on incorporating these elements of perspective, scale, and time that were studied from several Land Art projects, as a recipe that can achieve a higher spatial experience that is far from conventional, but yet integrates well with the Flagstaff’s cultural and urban context.

A cantilever system to branch off each preexisting building to allow the gallery walk to appear as if it is floating above the ground.

PROTECTION, SHELTER AND EXPOSURE Space conversion has always been an important link in architectural design. The relationship between different spaces, including the relationship between internal and external spaces. Has always affected human emotions in space. James Turrell illustrates this well in his art project Roden Crater. Different art spaces are connected in series with deep passages. What inspires people to work comfortably in the sheltered space or to talk to the surrounding environment in an open space? I think my design creates a leisurely sheltered space. It attracts people to communicate in a laid-back condition. The open platform brings people the opportunity to experience the city and nature. A special channel connects the two in series. In the process of space transfer, people seem to shuttle in another world.

LIVING THE MAP We take maps for granted that maps are simple drawings or diagrams that show direction or information. However, maps are far more complex than that. The map is an abstraction of reality that illustrates someone’s perspective by transforming information and experiences. Maps are a tool of communication. This tool is loaded with a lot of information and experiences. It could be 2D, 3D, a space, an artwork, or a building. Where the building itself is a map that communicates with us. The James Turrell Research Institute is a building that represents multiple concepts in one giant map that we discovered during our studio’s trip. These concepts are taken from various places such as land artworks (Roden Crater, Lightning Field, Star Axis), artists (Donald Judd’s house, Antoine Predock’s studio), national parks (Grand Falls, White Sands, Marfa Lights), Native American habitats (Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Culture), or towns ( Marfa, Santa Fe) .

MIDDLE GROUND, BACKGROUND, & FOREGROUND refers to the elements that typically make up a photo. This project sets out to frame views of Flagstaff, Arizona but has what one would expect each element to be in a different location or have it changed. Some views frame a mountain but are interrupted by a train that regularly passes by. Some views frame the sky but through a tinted skylight. To respond to the archaic, the exterior is wrapped in stones held back by rebar to give it the feel of ancient ruins. To respond to the sublime, the hallways will be lit up by the sun and colored glass, this relates to studies done into Dan Flavin and his artworks. Another sublime element would be the light room and dark room in the center courtyard. The light room is the inverse of the dark room whereas what is a shadow in one is light in the other. The plans were generated by combining the outline of buildings in downtown Flagstaff into one and scaling it to the program requirements. The inverse of this was used as the site plan and makes for site features such as sidewalks and a bus stop.

PERSPECTIVE AND PROCESSION Perspective influences how people interact within a space. Procession leads people on a valuable journey. Without both, the adventure is lifeless. Through examining land art pieces like Double Negative, I developed a deeper understanding of perspective and how it affects people. This led to my journey of studying Roden Crater and the aspect of procession people experience in the various spaces and how their perspective is altered. This design for The James Turrell Research Institute promotes an environment that connects with the chosen site in Flagstaff and allows the user to go on a journey within the space. Each path brings about a series of processions, and each room has a varying perspective. After much exploration of these spaces, the journey progresses through a tunnel ending at the Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce, concluding the adventurer’s journey of obtaining a new perspective through the procession.

TRUTH IN LIGHT Vast landscapes transition to an even larger canvas, the open sky. Both have no focal point. Both are too vast to truly comprehend with a quick glance. To capture and use these landscapes as art, requires the artist to understand both near and distant landscapes, through windows and frames. No object, no image, and no focus. By frustrating our habitual manner of actually perceive that re-sults in the imperfections and discontinuity of perception. While Turrell’s art can be appreciated simply as art, it is at the same time an occasion for self-reflection and self-discovery. We all have prejudiced perception - by which I mean that what we perceive is limited by the kind of perception that creatures like us have. It’s the way we actually perceive that results in the im-perfections and discontinuity of perception. The truth of seeing, perception, and framing. To use light itself as the object, the material, is revealing the truth to our own being and the world around us.

LOST AND REGAINED TIME IN VISUAL PERCEPTION The Land Art movement, along with itself, brought various ideas that challenged and redefined the meaning of Art. Many artists and their works were focused on the perception of time. A lot of new ideas, that challenged Newtonian time were brought forward. Time started to become a qualitative element in this new definition of Art. The Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt are one such example where real time was challenged by the perception of cosmic time. The idea of slowing down or accelerating time so the observer re-members the magnificence of the cosmos, while interacting with the Art, is the basis of the meaning of archaic and sublime.

The apparent displacement of an object with respect to the observer creates a shift in the point of view. This ever-changing and varied experience is sought to be achieved through this pro-ject by refracting the multiple ideas gained and reproducing them symbolically. The ramp, a stationary object, generates movement and a sublime experience. It is visualized as an unfolded and re-twisted Spiral Jetty. The design evolved by drawing inspiration from astrogeology which is a study of planetary objects. It was developed into a sectional configuration, moving the orbits in the z-axis and developing into a ramp. Projection pieces by James Turrell are re-imagined into the polygonal projections that pop out of the structure and to house the special rooms in-spired by Turrell’s Roden Crater.

La Onda - The Ripple Effect. Few words can accurately describe the Puerto Rican community. At least not in the way that would do it justice in the form that it most deserves it. Resilient is just one of many that can come remotely close. In the short week that we were able to experience the lifestyle, the culture, the food, and the people that call it home, it was easy to see how Puerto Rico has such a unique richness. La Onda is a community center born from what once was Martin Brumbaugh Elementary School, located in San Juan. Intended to be a permeable and very open space, the center offers utilities for the surrounding population to take advantage of and to foster that strong community that already exists. The challenge was to give something back to the community that has already given so much and to develop an idea that would shed light on the ways we can repurpose existing structures such as this one. It was a challenge that would hopefully be the start of a ripple effect.

When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, many communities didn’t receive proper recovery services. Communities had to ban together to provide for themselves. This design aims to provide a community center to the area of Cataño that doubles as a place of refuge in the case of an emergency. A large central courtyard on the North side of the property allows for gathering of all kinds of programs while being flanked by classrooms, fitness, medical, childcare, and disaster recovery. Meanwhile, the South side of the property is completely devoted to growing crops, packaging, storing, and allocating food for families in need. A lush wash connects the two areas and also works as a means of collecting flooding rainwater from the courtyard to be used for emergency irrigation. Rainwater is also collected from the exaggerated roofs and stored in cisterns particularly for hand-washing, toilet flushing, and showering in an emergency. Altogether, this design aims to create a place of community gathering and emergency response that puts people first.

The Cataño Community Center is an adaptive reuse of the Escuela de Teodoro Roosevelt and aims to be a central resource to the surrounding neighbourhoods for everyday utility, large gatherings, and emergency situations. The space fosters community by designing an ecosystem for people to interact with one other, the culture, and the land. Small, intimate threshold spaces between programs are balanced out by a large, open courtyard - picture your weekly farmer’s market, movie nights, and cultural festivals. Through workshops, people will learn about the importance of rainwater harvesting, energy conservation, and horticulture at the on-site farm. Harvests from the farm can then be used to create fresh recipes at the restaurant or can be packaged for the food bank. This project uses everyday interactions to build a resilient community that can fully support itself in the event of future emergencies.

Creating a community center requires navigating a number of vulnerable moments and interactions. In the hands of the designer these experiences must be treated with respect and dignity. This is something that was taken into consideration when we were designing our community wellness spaces. For example, to change the narrative of receiving food from the food bank, we placed this space centrally in the project. This space was given the feel of a grocery store to enable community members to feel more comfortable accessing this resource. These small paradigm shifts allow the spaces to be more empathetic to their users.

This site is on the grounds of the former Escuela Teodoro Roosevelt in Cataño, Puerto Rico, and is located in the center of the local neighborhood. In total, this is a 3-story building. However, the 3-story components are contained on the southern side of the project, away from the road that connects the neighborhood. The upper story of the northern facade is intentionally left open to create a subtle transition from the standard building height of the surrounding neighborhood houses to the 3-story height of the new addition. The purpose of this expansion and renovation is to create a communityfocused resource center where people can come and have access to public amenities while also creating a space capable of handling large crowds for public events. This is achieved by an open 2-story courtyard that creates vertical connections to utilize the upper level as a secondary gathering space that is also able to take advantage of the view over the neighborhood and out onto the marsh.

Espacio Escénico consists of a series of open spaces that interact, coming together in a central performance space contained in the shape of an ellipse. The program functions as a performance center, where the community gathers to interact (wellness,

fitness,

social),

discuss

(innovation,

creation spaces, conferences, etc.), to celebrate (weddings, private events) and enjoy (theater, concerts, sports). The program incorporates flexible spaces that double as a shelter, mostly at the core of the project (lower level), to keep the residents of Puerta de Tierra and old San Juan safe in the event of a hurricane or other natural disasters. The former public school Martin Brumbaugh and an adjacent commercial space were intervened for this project, seeking to become an example of what the island can do with their unused edifices looking into the future.

Our project is based around the adaptive reuse of an abandoned school in a neighborhood in Puerto Rico. It transforms the site from a barely used plot of land and leftover buildings into a hub for socialization and wellness in the community. Featuring a food bank, classrooms, a clinic, and other similar programmatic elements, the center has many functions and can be utilized by families, and community members of all ages. The exterior of the project features a green wall, and there are three water collection points throughout the site.

This Community Center Building is designed to meet the present needs of the community without deviating from the building’s original identity. The concept of the design is to create a space for the community which is beneficial not only economically but also biologically. A new Biophilic material called Living Concrete is used for the new expanded building. This encourages the growth of moss on the exterior walls. This filters the air by taking in the pollution and givign out oxygen. The existing building is left untouched in most parts. Spaces are placed to increase the amount of visitors. Placing a roof farm on top of the existing buildings brings the fusion of the mateirals. The fusion of the OLD and the NEW.

Old San Juan possesses different types of spaces for the community to conduct their distinctive performances. Espacio Escenico provides a space for the community to gather and interact, discuss, celebrate, and enjoy the many performances of their culture. The building is located on the north shore of Old San Juan in the Puerta de Tierra neighborhood at the former public school “Martin Brumbaugh” which was built in 1906 and closed in 2018. The site encompasses the rectilinear form of this building along with the adjacent structure to the west. In order to rekindle this abandoned space and connect it to the community’s needs, Espacio Escenico is designed through the exploration of the theatrical expression of juxtaposition where the tension of the old and new finds common ground in the focal of a central ellipse courtyard space and its single connection. The project adapts and reuses the existing building in an effort to maintain cultural heritage and contribute to the sustainable development of Puerto Rico.

In a residential area of Cataño, Puerto Rico there lies a little piece of history, history of growth, preservation, and hope. Antigua Escuela Elemental Teodore Roosevelt was a beacon of happiness for the surrounding community, they were able to see the future grow at their doorsteps. All of this changed in 2017 when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico head-on as a result the whole Island suffered massive utility outages. Some parts were so bad that they never fully recovered, sadly, Elemental Teodore Roosevelt was one of them. Our group proposed an idea, to keep the history of this site and develop it, all while having a minimal footprint on the existing fabric. This resulted in a lifted platform that house living modules and adaptative spaces. We aimed to have the building itself be a tool for the community, in that thought, we pitched the roofs to capture rainwater and solar energy. In times of emergency, this building will bring people together and again be the beacon of hope once more.

At the conclusion of the Advanced Studio III trip to Puerto Rico, I was vexed to produce a design for a community center. The result was a design with a museum to showcase Puerto Rican art, which you see in the watercolor painting above. The building comprised of the museum, a restaurant, an auditorium, and housing for visitors. The entire visit to Puerto Rico allowed us to see the vernacular of the island. Many decorative railings and balconies were seen in Puerto Rico. The people cooked on open barbeques and spoke about their desire for independence from America. I felt the need to do so and was amazed at the reception I received. We went there on a mission to learn the “identity” of Puerto Rico. I feel I have but I am now known not to be an architect of buildings but, perhaps, an architect of intellectual thought.

Due to extreme weather and poor fiscal management, Escuela Elemental Theodore Roosevelt in Cataño, Puerto Rico was shut down alongside many other public schools in Puerto Rico. This former school campus, which shares its boundary with marsh and wetland areas, is now mostly empty, abandoned, and forgotten. The project’s mission is to create a resilient off-the-grid community hub, providing useful shelter; solar power; water; education; fitness, medical, and laundry facilities; farm-to-table gardening; a food pantry and farmers market; and a bio pool. The new addition sits on columns elevated above the former campus, abating damage from rising sea levels. Reconnecting this campus with the community and returning to farming practice that respect the ecology is essential in order to create a more resilient Puerto Rico.

This semester our studio visited Puerto Rico. Our focus was abandoned buildings, a prevalent problem on the island. More specifically, we looked at elementary school buildings that have been recently closed due to austerity measures and the sluggish recovery from disasters and demographic shifts. My team’s site was the Martin Brumbaugh School in Puerta de Tierra, San Juan. Our team took on the transformation of the building. All interventions needed to include strategies to lend resilience and sustainability for a new concept in the community center typology - one that provides spaces for community gathering, training, and youth activities; but also can serve as an emergency hub where power, water, and shelter are provided during disaster events. We developed a new porous facade that incorporated micro wind turbines, unified the project, and conceptually worked to reenvision the building’s identity.

This site is in Cataño Puerto Rico, it used to be an elementary school that was destroyed in hurricane Maria. This is a renovation project of eleven buildings on the site. We changed the site into a space for the community to gather to have fun and relax. It will also act as a centre for emergencies such as during a storm or hurricane. We chose to preserve most of the original eleven buildings on site. We demolished the Two in the middle to better open that space up for a giant courtyard that will be the centre of activity for the building and community. The rest of the buildings have been gutted and re-purposed as hotel suites. The added second floor to the site is for the rest of the program to our community centre that go along with the category’s; play, food, work, and nurturing.

The community center introduces new outdoor opportunities to tie the cultural value of nature with the people of Puerto Rico. An elliptical void is placed in the center of the design allowing a courtyard space to form for daylight to reach the central areas of the second floor while revealing a sort of backyard for the hoteling units on the first floor. A programmable ramp procession is used to physically connect and unite the community into the project, link the existing buildings with the new addition, and knit the key community spaces together. The ramp starts by continuing the streetwide procession into the building as the new Welcome center flex space. This then transforms into the sloping, outdoor Farmer’s market which leads to the food hub. The next hubs in the procession focus on play and wellness, work, and spaces for nurture and growth including a learning center and emergency resources storage.

Located in Puerto Rico, the project is developed as a community space that is inclusive. It is a new approach that tries to trace the existing built but generate a new sense of belongingness for the people of Puerto Rico. It is the redevelopment of an old school which is now given a new function of a multipurpose community centre that enhances local artists and their art works and provides them a common platform which later will generate the revenue for the space. A space dedicated for the people and that is run by the people collectively. An artistic look, a sense of poetry is tried to depict through the massing and the connections through the built mass.

La Onda (The Ripple effect) is a proposal to dissect and reform an abandoned school to become a resource for the community. The project resides in Puerta de Tierra, Puerto Rico. The impact of multiple natural disasters, political, and economic issues have deprived the community. Through these tribulations, the public has become resilient and empowered by their strong sense of community and pride. We wanted to propose a project that matches their efforts in resiliency, sustainability, and adaptability. To design for an equitable community the project houses multiple programs focused around health, well-being, enriching the community, helping the economy, and providing disaster relief resources. To enclose these programs, we imposed a permeable façade best suited for Puerto Rico’s climatic conditions. The louvres serve as a protective barrier yet create a welcoming expression to invite the public in. We hope this proposal enriches the community’s lives and makes this building one they fight to preserve.

The Martin Brumbaugh school and surrounding community contain traces of the pre-American invasion Spanish culture in the language and the built environment. While in Puerto Rico the people that we spoke to express a desire to acknowledge the past of the place for what it is while moving forward. This concept of a new critical identity for the site is what we wanted to accomplish with this building, expressed through a paradigm shift in the built environment and a shift in the typology of a community center. This paradigm shift needs to be sensitive to both the old and the new, a yin and yang of forces that may be seen as contrary but actually become complementary. This new harmony requires an interchange of information. Executing this concept on the built environment involved a strategy of using the existing site while connecting to a mass on the adjacent site with a bridge extending above the road.

Over the years, Puerto Rico has faced many challenges ranging from conquerors to treacherous hurricanes. In visiting this island for our travel studio, we could see how terribly these challenges impacted Puerto Rico. Because of this, for our project of turning an abandoned school into a community center, the mission of our group’s work revolved around re-establishing connection: connecting the community to the site, connecting the site to the community, connecting the site to nature, connecting vertical and horizontal circulation, and connecting the site to people from all walks of life. This work entranced with connection resulted in forming a deeper connection with me to my motherland. Being Puerto Rican and visiting the island for the first time with this studio was amazing and humbling. I will continue to work towards creating positive change in Puerto Rico within my career. It was an honor to have had this opportunity.

Located on the island of Puerto Rico. My rendering showcases the north side of our site. A kinetic scrim brings shape to strong winds that come off the ocean just across the street of this site. The scrim helps to convert this old school building that was forced to close in 2018 by the government, into a usable space that promotes engagement, and community wellbeing using the AIA framework for design excellence. This dynamic façade also collects wind energy to reduce the carbon footprint of the building and to give back to the community by providing energy during hurricanes and outages which are common to the area. A roof garden, balconies, and a courtyard framed view the ocean and public spaces. While the café on the south end of the building will create access points to the community. Leveled plazas create outdoor spaces for eating and making connections with others in the community.

After the devastation of the Roosevelt school in Cataño, Puerto Rico, it was abandoned. In an adaptive reuse attempt to transform the abandoned school into a community center, the facades of the existing building were left to honor its previous life. By raising the mass of the community center above the existing buildings, we allow small connections and private areas for the new hotel spaces below. With the utilization of one of the existing buildings as a pathway, we created a ramp with both vertical and horizontal procession. This procession acts as a flex space for local events such as art exhibitions and classes. Encapsulating the building is a facade system made of vertical concrete slats that filters the aggressive Puerto Rican sun. It also acts as a skeletal frame for vegetation to grow, creating unique everchanging moments all around the building.

Our team designed a community center that aimed to empower the people of Puerto Rico by setting them up with the tools and education necessary to create a self-sustaining lifestyle. The site was located in an informally built neighborhood in Cataño that lacked resources, amenities, and educational facilities. There was no sense of arrival, it felt closed off from the community and there was no real gathering space on the campus. We created an open-air entry leading to a large central courtyard and agricultural area that residents will have access to around the clock. The residents can learn how to grow local crops to later be used in the farm-to-table restaurant on site. The site has all the high foot traffic areas located near the north entry with plenty of seating and shade to activate the street scape and draw in more community members. The center also makes use of solar power, rainwater harvesting and passive strategies to mitigate the need to be on the grid.

Recognizing the building’s existing East entrance as well as the central and adjacent vehicular access, an axis was attempted to link them. A central common space is developed, which connects all the building’s entrances. The court joins the axis, the court, and the café, providing a dynamic setting in which everyone can play and enjoy themselves. Creating open terraces on the north façade that connect individual areas to the ocean and allow users to enjoy both the internal and outdoor surroundings in order to offer shade through the trees. In response to the city’s environment, we wanted to create a permeable facade that would allow for optimal ventilation while also acting as a protective barrier against the weather.

Located in Cataño, Puerto Rico, is an opportunity for community growth and involvement. In the middle of the neighborhood sits a school that was forced to close and left with no occupants. To enhance the community, we inserted structures within the existing walls of the school to pay tribute to what once was on the property and contrast what was proposed. Most of the existing buildings were left as is from the exterior side of things, but where we found new opportunity, the roofs were removed to create a different experience. To offer relief against the hurricanes or other disasters on the island; modular living units were incorporated to aid those in need. The re-use of this site was to enhance the tools it will provide to maintain the surrounding community and potentially heal within the neighborhoods. A central hub for the people.
