Do you usually bring your lunch to work?

What is the main reason you bring lunch to work? (Right)

On a typical day, how much do you spend when you buy lunch? (Left)

On a typical day, where do you go to buy your lunch?

Would you patronize a full service breakfast restaurant if it was in The Shops?

I like the restaurant options located in The Shops.

If there were more or better options, I would consider ordering take out for dinner or dining at Houston Center.

Counter CraftRenderingsDeveloped a rendering standard for the company from the ground up. Continually built a material library and developed assets from scratch. Used limited resources and budget available to achieve photo like results. Typical 8-16 hour turnover on renderings. Used SketchUp, Podium, and Gimp to cre-ate desired results. Explored dynamic components to accelerate the modeling process.

Shop DrawingsCreated shop drawings from food ser-vice consultant sketchech. Understood construction and many critical dimen-sions in fully framed and multi spec fab-rication. Continually improved project standards and practices to enhance project turn-over.

Other ProjectsUsed architecture background to develop plans for office expansion. Created measured drawings of shop layout. Oversaw building construction and managed electrical and plumbing contractors.

Mijares Mora ArchitectsConstruction DocumentsAssisted in creating construction docu-mentation for several school projects. Worked on a CD sheet that detailed an entry pavilion that eventually was constructed.

RenderingsCreated Renderings that were used in client presentations and for design development. Fore example, when the communication of plan and section no longer worked for the client, I quickly created a classroom perspective to take to a client meeting the same day with positive results.

Shading – To maintain a constant internal temperature throughout the sun’s daily and annual cycles while reducing the require-ment for active heating and cooling systems shading devises such as awnings and solar film should be used.

Warehouse Architecture – The interior of the building should have the feel of a warehouse. Large open space that lends itself to flexible uses and configurations.

Silo Formation – Objects within the building should be arranged to create the imagery of the grain silos found in proximity to the site. Potential objects are wine tanks.

Site and region specific features are stressedClimate, topography, and light – mechanization is avoided.

Marginal PracticeIs critical of modernism but refuses to abandon the emancipatory and progressive aspects of it. Favors small rather than big.

Consciously BoundedStresses the territory surrounding the structure, recognizes the boundary not as an object but a shape.

There are two circulation paths within the winery, that of the production cycle, and that of the visitor. The two should follow similar circulations, but with different start and ending points Linear production process - The building should be organized to show a linear production pro-cess. The equipment should be organized within the production zones so that there is minimal backtrack-ing. It should start at one end and finish at another. Visitor Circulation - Since public visitation is an important part of the facility a prominent visitor’s entrance should be separated from the production entrance. Unlike the production circulation it should begin and end at that same location. In order to make tours possible there will be several locations to enter production area from the public spaces.

Fill Margins with Vineyard - The remaining portions of the site should be filled with vegetation, preferably grape vines of several varieties.

Open grid pavers– open grid paving that reduces heat islands caused by a fully paved parking lot, and should be used in the majority of the parking area.

A winery should be viewed as something permanent and well established as well as something that is warm and familiar the building can display these aspects through it’s interior and exterior materiality.

Permanence – The building should have the perception of being sturdy and long lasting. To achieve this, the structure should be made of concrete and steel and incorporate stone and block masonry. Transparency – Glass should be used to allow for natural lighting and for the viewing of the production process from the outside. The building should have adequate glazing to observe the internal working from a distance.

This can be observed in elevation. The north and south elevations provide transparency and views into the facility, while the east and west elevations are solid and structural providing a image of permanence.

Architecture as of the site, not on the site – The build-ing should have the appearance of being of the earth. The can be done by having portions of the building underground to it appears to be emerging from the earth.

MDS II 5692Michael PetersDavid Driskill

YELLOW-HOUSE CANYON WINERY: This is a proposal for a new winery in Lubbock, TX that is located at Erskine St. and Avenue Q on a parcel of land that is approximately 14.6 Acres. Parking will be handled along the top of the canyon and visitors will enter and descend into the building from this location. The building is thoughtful of the existing topographyand avoid the disruption of the natural landscape. Another challenge is that a portion of the site is in a flood zone, to offsetthis, the building will be as close to the canyon wall as possible and elevated above this flood plane. Vineyards will also be included on the site in the southern portion, approximately 6.2 acres of land are available for this, if more is necessary the land around the building can also be utilized as vineyards.

Today’s wine consumer desires more than just a great wine. They desire a brand, an image, and an experience. Wine tourism generates billions of dollars world wide and is on the rise. The Lubbock area currently supports three wineries at different scales of production, I believe there is room for more. The south plains region is a unique growing area that pro-vides grapes and juice for many wineries in Texas. The quality of grapes and varieties continue to improve as agricultural experimentation continues to explore the possibilities of the area. As the area continues to develop it will create a distinct profile and character that is distinctly West Texas.

The new winery will include a boutique vineyard, wine production facility, visitor center, wine sampling, sales, and a res-taurant.

Topic – Architecture as a critical regionalism.Assertion – By clearly defining the production process, visitors will be able to better comprehend the steps in wine production.

Thesis - Responding to the environment through critical regionalism using built form and materials to ex-press the imagery of the wine making process.

Rethinking the Lubbock FairSummaryAfter an intensive study of the Lubbock Fair involving site visits and extensive discussions and research, we began creating a variety of initial concepts. Following Bernard Tschumi’s urban designing ideas of Composition, Complement, Palimpsest, and Media-tion, eventually the plan of laying text over the site became the dominant idea of the project.

Denying the fair by burying it in a mound of earth that slopes to the neighboring road provides a surface to embed the structure of the new program elements in a series of buildings.

Key SkillsHistorical research of the site•Photo / Diagram study of the existing • fairSketchUp modeling• Photoshop compositing•

BUILDING F – Classic Fair: Antiques, Crafts, Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Preserves, Photography, Art, Quilts, Blue Ribbons, etc.

BUILDING A – Music Fair: Auditorium, Stage, Concessions.

BUILDING I – Modern Fair: Beer, Martinis, Wine, Bikini Contests, Grill-ing, Technology, Auto Show, Modern Art, etc.

BUILDING R – Commerce Fair: Shop-ping, Knives, Sham-wow, Fried Food, Texas Merchandise, etc.

The Upper Kirby District approached Texas Tech Univer-sity graduate architecture students to come up with schematic designs for a YMCA facility.

The Upper Kirby District currently owns and recently acquired approximately 4.09 acres of land adjacent to Levy Park. It is located at the intersection of Richmond Avenue and Wakeforest Drive. It is currently comprised of three office buildings and a small apartment complex which will be demolished and replaced with a new YMCA building. The vision is to create a civic campus of recre-ational amenities available to the surrounding communi-ties. As well as a full service YMCA, this campus will host a ‘Journey to Learning Center’ (incorporating educational advancements), a health and wellness center, a language educational service, and an environmental education service.

Santa Fe Trail CollectionA photo collection was made of objects in the earth (rocks) and then their sub-sequent void when removed. We then diagramed this process and the result-ing diagrams and concepts eventually evolved into the basis of our design.

Design ConceptWe created a series of concrete arms (their length varied depending on the diagram application to the path) that would support and elevated trail. These arms would also house wire panels that might have to be moved to con-tinue down the path of the trail. The way-stations on the trail collapse and store themselves between two structural members.
