The United States is experiencing difficult times: not only are we a Nation at war, but also a country in the midst of an economic crisis. The pinch of new financial burdens has started to impact our way of life, causing communities to gather and voice their concerns. However, one group has gone largely unnoticed: the young artists. Both hungry and thirsty for creative opportunities, their voice has gone unheard. In order to embrace and cultivate the young artist’s energy, I have proposed The New Studios – an inspirational place, where
worries and stresses are mitigated by light and space.
The mission is quite simple: Create a place where artists can gain the confidence to create unabatedly.
With the stipulation of one program, two sites, the distinct phenomenological conditions were explored via drawing and physical models. This process allowed the form and place making criteria to emerge.

Agora and ClausThe duplex created for Agora and Claus was derived from Kenneth Frampton’s Reflections on the Scope of the Tectonic. Set on a theoretical Pacific beach, the objective was to create a place where the owners dwelled within the tectonic and stereotomic. The occupants, who suffered from a severe case of agoraphobia and claustrophobia, also required a common area. By treating the shared area as a place of repose, Agora and Claus can understand each other’s condition and move towards a new, balanced way of living.

Conceptual Sketch Geometry
TOGS II : Egurrezko Zubia
(The Wooden Bridge)
The design of the outdoor gallery moves to gather two of Austin’s critical ecological constituents: the Lady Bird Lake and the burgeoning downtown environment. In doing so the gallery creates a place, suggesting that the experiences of Austin’s urban life and viewing art can exist in a continuous relationship. The bridge was inspired by the poetic geometry inherent to the lake, which called for a rethinking of conventional relationships between art and architecture. As the curvilinear facade carves into the 10’x 20’ plot, zones of surprise are created: regardless of the pedestrian’s chosen point of entry, a piece of art awaits their departure into the urban or natural landscape. By describing the bridge’s geometry with wooden planks the gallery retains its unique environmental connection and discloses a new, temporary trinity between Nature, Urban living, and Art.

Faculty HousingThis studio focused on temporary housing for visiting professors. Responding to Austin’s desire to increase the density within the city, a tower utilizing 50% of the site was chosen. This allowed vistas for all units and supported future growth within the site. In order to attract the diverse social mass along Guadalupe St., the public is addressed with a ground level commercial base. By creating a dynamic place beneath the tower, the professors will to taste the richness of the city during their walk to work.

Austin NatatoriumSited at the Stephen F. Austin High school, the Austin natatorium represents the result of a semester long investigation into water’s phenomenal qualities. As a liminal place, the complex acts as a vessel of mental and physical change by providing a clean medium to aggressively attack the complacency of everyday life. The apolitical values of love, kindness, and compassion will resonate within the structure creating a greater sense of community within the city. Real change will occur.

Community Renewal InstituteTechnical Communications StudioPartner : Matt Haynes
The Center for Community Renewal will bring civic leaders from across the nation and the world to Shreveport, Louisiana to learn more about building and restoring safe and caring communities. The Center will serve as a comprehensive facility providing training and technical support for community leaders who want to apply the model established by Community Renewal International in their own city. The building will house offices, conference centers, classrooms, a museum, and guest rooms for overnight accommodations.
The building itself, the historic Petroleum Tower, is also a symbol of renewal. The building was donated to Community Renewal in 2001 and is being restored for a new life as an environmentally friendly “green building,” taking advantage of outside lighting, recycling its wastewater and incorporating other energy-efficient measures.

Piraeus Tower Competition : Clothing the Sleeping GiantPartner : Kat Cahir
The Piraeus Tower occupies a compelling position in the urban fabric of Piraeus and Athens. The proposed facade design creates a striking aesthetic, capitalizing on the tower’s visibility to make a statement about the modern identity of Piraeus.
The proposal clothes the “sleeping giant” with a cloak, referencing the ancient Greek himation. The double skin consists of an inner wall of glazing inserted flush with the concrete structure, and an outer skin of Corian and glass panels of varying visibility. Like the woolen himation, the outer layer of the facade will breathe and protect the inner skin of the building. The enclosed cavity becomes a ventilation space, which can channel heat to the interior when needed, or vent through operation of the outer panels in warm conditions.
Through this proposal, the giant of Piraeus will awaken, clothed in a dynamic, “breathing” skin of glass and Corian. This icon will be renewed as an image honoring history, urbanism, and Piraeus’s role as an important modern port.

This section represents the work completed during the spring-summer residency period of 2009. Luis M. Uriarte provided the leadership and inspiration for all creative works, allowing his architects to oversee the evolution of a particular project. As an intern I moved between projects and assisted with a variety of tasks. In order to give credit to my colleagues, I’ve placed their name under the specific projects they led. In some instances outside illustrators and photographers joined the team. Their work has also been cited.

Nuevo Getxo AntzokiaIbon Pascual and Javier Sedano
The city of Getxo’s new theatre and music school was the main project at LMU. After the mayor of Getxo was re-elected, our office was asked to set up an exhibition. Panels depicting the vision of the theatre provided a backdrop for a speech given by the mayor. In the construction document phase, the excavation plan and underground parking garage took up the lion’s share of work.

Plaza Parking en GaldakaoArantza Fernandez
In the midst of construction, the city of Galdakao had a change of heart: instead of building a traditional Spanish plaza, they decided to cap their underground parking garage with a green parking lot. LMU was asked to step in and assist the civil engineers with the design.

Vivienda en GaldakaoAlvaro Albaizar
Located on a small plot of land in Galdakao, this single family dwelling will house a retired couple. Their main concern was that they be in a position to “supervise” the husband’s parents who live at the bottom of the lot.

Vivienda en Galdakao: Daylighting Analysis
This project provided the perfect opportunity to investigate a few daylight simulation programs (Ecotect, Radiance, and DAYSIM). In order to understand the software, I used the metrics described in LEED 2009 New Construction and Renovation, instead of LEED for Homes. IEQ 8.1 has guidelines for daylight simulation and therefore aided my research. Dr. Christoph Reinhart, a member of the National Research Council Canada, was extremely helpful. I could not have pushed forward without his help.
