Place Verona, Italy

Professors Associate Dean Maria Perbellini & Professor Dustin White

This course promoted studies and methods of reading, seeing, registering and exploring dense urban and architectural conditions and contexts with great historical presences. This was also under the condition of being exposed to the aspects of a different culture.

The design allows for a layering of public events to happen such as an outdoor area for people to gather accompanied with a farmers market for local suppliers. From an extension of the pizzarias' seating to activation of the historical Dogana in which occupies the site. Other benefits of the design are the push for a more integrated approach with the river side in keeping with the boat club that uses the river for practice.

Professor Professor Victoria McReynolds

Project proposal must respond to the existing site conditions and the 'Three Components of Architecture', in this scheme section will become the generator. Focus was geared for a clear understanding and articula-tion of space through sectional strategies.

The program being a gallery of light performances allowed for a series of design elements to bring light in such a way that they became a series of events. Two key aspects of this project was a light well that became the core of the project, spanning through all levels, as well as the use of a material that can become luminescent through the course of natural light.

Professor Professor Jeff Nesbit

To comprehend and translate the use of a mechanical device into spacial qualities.

The design was derived through the translation on how a car part works with space. The projects translation was how a "caliper" (brake system) begins to fold into itself and was discovered through the implication of a tryptic. This lead the design of a dynamic path that wraps in on itself.

Professors Professor Bennett Nieman

The studio engaged the strategies, tactics, and techniques of the architectural design process. Emphasis was placed on developing a systematic and critical approach to comprehensive design.

The project was focused on the relationship between private and public programming. Accompanied along with the visual aspect of a progression in increasingly sized exhibit spaces and the recession of pri-vate offices. This design allows for the initial three floor to be dedicated to public access and designation of prime views for the office spaces above.

LandArtsARCHITECTUREINTHELANDSCAPE 05Year Fall 2015

Place Lubbock, Texas

Professor Professor Chris Taylor

Land Arts of the American West was a field program investigating the intersection of geomorphology and human construction. Land art or earthworks begin with the land and extend through the complex social and ecological processes that create landscape. The program created opportunities to develop work in direct relation to the complex of forces that define the American West.

The project explored the process of making space into place through an occupation and intervention with the land. The thought of a relation between construct and the landscape to explore how Architecture and landscape can further each other. This lead to the investigation of a 6'x6'x6' cube in the landscape,set on axis of cardinal directions, to use as a tool for how we perceive landscape.

These perspectives were, part of a series, generated during the studios time out in the field. The began with investigating existing architecture (from Simone Swans adobe brick house to the Old Barracks on the Chinati Foundation in Marfa,TX) and how it begins to create a dialogue with the existing landscape. This lead to implementing my own constructs onto the landscape in order to test how to create a greater connection between architecture and landscape relationships. These drawing are what inspired the construction of a site specific cube that could change our peception of the landscape.

The museum of the future is a continous and revolving work of architecture that becomes a mega structure of its own. The museum becomes a never ending space, linked through loops of spatial connections. This work was completed while working at JOHO Architecture.

PunctuateUbiquityAIRPORTCOMPETITON 07Year August - September 2016

Place Tokyo, Japan

Team Surinder Aulakh, Mark Freres, Emerson Rodriguez

With constant growth in urban density, international travel, and vegetative integrations, Punctuate Ubiquity addresses the Airport of the Future by introducing atypical architectural methods, implementation of projective technologies, and contextually informed interactions.The Japanese culture intrinsically exemplifies rapid growth and technological integration while maintaining the importance and respect for historical precedents. The culmination of contextual forces, programmatic spatial conditions and place-making methodologies are commonplace in Japanese architectural practice. Cultural and contextual extrapolated forces begin to systematically carve away from the ubiquity of airport terminals. The forces begin to configure the spatial conditions of program and the overlapping instances begin to transfigure the space into a place, which is reflective of the cultural, social and contextual qualities of Japan. Punctuate Ubiquity results in integrating the multifaceted expressions of the Japanese culture, reduction of airport terminal design generalities, and adventing advance technologies.
