I worked on this project for close to three months. The first thing that I did was rework and create a pleth-ora of diagrams. I was then tasked with sections and lanscape drawings. There was a continuous reworking that I was responsible for and the whole experience taught me how to work more efficiently and effectively than I knew I could.

I worked on this project for close to four months. The site for this building was already being prepared when I began. It was in it’s final stages of design so there were plenty of finishing touches to be considered. I was charged with checking and cross-checking schedules, at first. Later I put together proposal packages on building and landscape signage. I also did a lot of work on visual communications throughout the build-ing. This project demanded that I do everything from furniture construction drawings to designing logo fixtures.

The National Center for Arts and Technology, which is a part of the Manchester Bidwell Corporation, isconsidering Austin, Texas as a site for one of their branch centers. We worked closely with ManchesterBidwell and Bill Strickland himself to create prototypes for this future facility. Our challenge wvas to useprospective sites that were chosen through cooperation and create a place that could uphold the valuesand goals of the corporation.

Casa de Luz, a fitness and wellness center, was the inspiration for this project, and we were located on the corner of Sixth and Congress which is a prime spot in the middle of downtown Austin. I started with the idea of wrapping the wall and floor and used this to help me define my spaces.

This semester was our comprehensive semester. We were to incorporate all the different aspects of design that we had learned over the previous two and a half years and use them to produce an efficient and well thought out design. There was a lot more emphasis on structure and green building this semester, and we were required to really understand the “ins and outs” of the choices we made during our process.

This semester was an opportunity to branch out. The subject for this studio was CinemArchitecture. We learned about architecture from a different perspective and used thirty second/frame exercises to explore space. We were to create a thesis about movement through space from our drawings and produce a final pre-sentation that explained our theory. My focus was on how a person remembered a space.

For this project we started with a simple geometric drawing of rectangles and lines then used lines of exten-sion and creative hierarchy to produce a 2D drawing. From this we gradually made a 3D model by interpreting the spaces that we created, and chose two spaces and thought about the light experience in them.

Our focus for the first half of the semester was to understand our corridor as a community and become familiar with it’s needs. With this knowledge we were to produce a library that met some of these needs and could potentially be accepted in the neighborhood. The site that I chose along the corridor was at the very end and I focused on the different faces of this corner and how to draw people from each. Then to create an interesting and compelling place to be.

Lady Bird Johnson Wild Flower Center needed an entry pavilion to help orient and direct its visitors. My objective was to do this as clearly and cleanly as possible with the least amount of movements. At the same time I wanted to create some interest with my interactive openings in the wall along the way.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory was beginning the process of building a new laboratory and we consulted with the on our project, making them our client for this semester. We were asked to keep our proj-ect focussed by creating an over-arching theme, and my theme throughout the project was interaction.

Over arching theme: Interaction
My overall theme is Interaction. This consist of the interaction between different buildings, between different parts of the pro-gram, between the inside and outside environment, but most im-portantly, between people. Hopefully, by working on all the former, I will reach the gaol of the latter and people will make interacting between others outside of their niche a part of their routine and not just as an exception to their routine.

In this semester of Visual Communications we were focusing on developing our drawing skills and did a lot of different freehand drawings to become familiar with technique and the tools of drawing.

Architecture is not only about solving problems. Anyone can solve a problem. It’s about producing an elegance, out of these situations, that would otherwise not have been there. Architects create, with these issues, a harmony and delight that are unique.
