One of the most intriguing processes of rowing is the act of launching and storing the boat. Rowers would begin their ritual as they entered the monolithic rowing center. Emerging from the bunker, rowers would walk to the designated path that housed their specific racing shell. The crunch of the gravel and the long procession to the pod was deliberate, encouraging rowers to mentally prepare for their rowing routine. Finally, the row would arrive at a specific pod, and launch the boat. Each pod was able to accommodate anywhere from a 2-person rowing shell to an 8-person rowing shell. The roofs were accessible too, providing patrons and visitors access to views of the lake and of course, the rowers.

In groups, at various sites along Airport Blvd. we were assigned to examine and analyze the area for future growth and development. Geographically this site is at the center of Austin with great potential for growth. Through multiple site visits and GIS programming careful analysis was drawn and a development plan was designed with the goal of reviving the surrounding community. During analysis we found a pattern that seemed to facilitate growth that our site was missing. The connections between residential and commercial districts were divided by heavy traffic, thus impeding future growth. We proposed to bury Airport Blvd., create a tunnel for traffic and a linear park for pedestrians in order to bridge the separated districts. We were then asked, in groups, to further develop our proposed site redesign by creating a mixed use housing complex.

Proposed Mixed-Use Intervention Site Model
According to our proposed redesign, it was necessary to provide a mixed use complex that would help foster the growth of the community. A dry creek bed that is currently desolate borders the site. Part of the redesign was to convert the creek bed into a hike and bike trail. The path cuts through the center of the site and divides the two mixed use complex buildings. The path opens up to an inner courtyard with a large green space and cafe where denizens are free to do as they please. The main walkway branches off and connects to the two adjacent streets so that there’s a sense of enclosure, but not a sense of entrapment. These double height walkways cut through the buildings and act as entry points to the interior of the complex.

The bus stop was developed through section with three primary actions in mind: sit, stand and observe. While waiting for the bus, people generally seek shelter, especially during the hot summer months. Bus stops also provide information on routes and can be a medium for communication among the community. During the day the bus stop acts as a shelter and at night transforms into a beacon. A soft glow provides patrons with a sense of safety as they wait while a blue glowing light indicates the next bus is minutes away.

The goal of this project was to design and build an architectural intervention that would convey sense of wonder for the Bastrop Fire Benefit Relief, a fund raiser held in Taylor, Texas for victims of the local wildfires. Inspired by Ant Farm, the potential for inflatables seemed endless. In order to prove it could be done, a 5’x5’x5’ cube was constructed out of duct tape, reclaimed plastic drop cloth and a 7” fan. In constructing the cube the seams proved to be the most crucial point of having a successful inflatable be. Materiality, pattern forming, and seams were thoroughly studied. After many small iteration, the most interesting aspect of the form was bringing a 2-dimensional star into a 3-dimensional torus. Seams were made by folding 4-ply poly drop cloth, duct taping, and grommeting two pices together. This created a tight seal, and the grommet holes provided the potential for a lighting system to be implemented.

The materials used were light and easy to transport with potential to be redeployed anywhere. The idea of a temporal structure that would appear and disappear on the landscape added to the sense of wonder. Packaging, deploying and inflating the structure soon became just as crucial as the structure itself. The element of wonder is derived from structure’s strict life cycle: Deploy, Inflate, Experience, Deflate, Relocate.

Located on the Ivry-sur-Seine is a plot of land inhabited by homeless people living in the abandon wasteland of what used to be a tire factory. This once lively area has since fallen into disrepair. Much of the surrounding area has become nothing more than a polluted industrial complex. The main goal of the project was to create a social housing block that would act as a catalyst in bringing life to this otherwise industrial wasteland. Through combining the analysis of the site, and producing a single modular unit that would morph according to the site’s conditions, housing blocks and circulation paths were proposed across a 1-hectare strip of the site.

Sketchbook explorations from a one semester study abroad travel program. These sketches reflect typologies, projections and crossings inspiried by buildings and urban infrastructure while traveling abroad in Europe. Drawings range from quick sketches to more time intensive compositions of contemporary and classical architecture. Countries visited were; Copenhagen, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal and France.
