1 On this project we started with a deep research of a case study house I got case study house #22. The lack of architectural drawings available challenged us to find the dimensions of the building with what we had. By drawing out the building each student was able to come to understand the building more. This drawing is an exploded axon of the Stahl house, with pull outs different parts of the building.

Chop ShopIn this project I started by going to a junk yard and finding a steering wheel column and taking it apart. From there I used the pieces and created forms that created places, paths and transitions. These forms created the places and paths for the chop shop gallery and the places that housed the galleries work.

Central Bike HubThe structure of this building is designed with the idea of being able to have a glimse of what is happening on the inside but not fully able to understand. This building is designed using frosted glass. It is designed to house the need for an environmentally friendly transportation system in the city of Lubbock. The Hub is located on Broadway near the university as well as popular local businesses. This bicycle system is a maintenance shop, retail store, secures bike racks, and is equipped with a locker room.

The Hygiene Unit is used for when a disaster hits an area and restrooms and showers are in short demand. I approached the idea of something that was easy to build and somewhat easy to transport. I came up with the idea of a cylinder that had equal space in the quadrants that would divide the space into a shower, a toilet, a changing room, and entry with a sink. The outer material is corrugated steel, and the supports are a hollow steel pipe, which make up most of the structure.

With this transportation system I went out of the box and went with an organic shape. The idea was started with the study of Metropol Parasol in Spain and how the forms flowed together. I felt that the structure was strong enough without all the extra material so I left it as an open frame structure. Leaving the structure open left it the ability to have elevators running up it, and also allowing for restrooms inside of the organic structure. A glass roof hangs over the center to allow for protection from the weather when it is bad.

The retail and loft center started with a client giving us rules to follow in our design and space. From knowing how much space we had to use we then had to use codes to figure out the best structure for the job, and also design the space around the requirements. I decided to go with steel square tubing as the main structure, as well as trusses to support the weight without having to have as many upright supports. For the Lofts I wanted each room to have a balcony that can be private, semi private, and public. So I designed sliding and folding walls on the balcony. On the back side of the building frosted glass panels are used to change how the back is looked at.R

For this office building I took the idea of a basic building and by manipulating the faade I was able to change the building without changing the large structure of it. The building is in a rectangle with a faade pulling itself in 2 different directions and at the same time pushing from the other side, this gives the building a push and pull feel to it. The main structure of the building is a post and beam concrete. The structure for the faade is using square tubing, and connects to the punctured steel faade. The punctures are designed so that 50% less sun is protruding into the rooms.

6The idea in Korea was to take what we learned from the culture and develop and urban landscape for the old and the young. My partner and I took the flow of the people and developed a raised path that formed a division of space. We left the existing buildings and used them to develop spaces for the people to interact. In the project we had to use a maru and madang to create the different places that were designated.
