The project examined an actual proposal for the Native American Community Center at the Northern Arizona University campus, the program of which included an outdoor ceremonial space, an indoor meeting room and center space, classrooms, and offices. This design is a synthesis of the existing contexual architecture and landscape with the cultural identity and heritage of the Southwest Native American Communities. “The cosmos becomes a continuous flowing whole, with visible connections between the seen and the unseen, the tangible and the intangible”. Rina Swentzell, Pueblo Santa Clara Native American mythology & cardinal directions

The focus of this project is the urban sprawl of metropolitan Phoenix and the paradigm of each family owning their own home on their own piece of land. Grouped with fellow students to design a compact urban community and individually designed homes for young professional couples associated with Arizona State University, the size of the homes were constrained by the size of the lot. This constraint drove the design towards a courtyard typology, providing the occupant with private outdoor space and a unique living configuration. Surrounding the entry with the sight and sound of water and carrying it through the home to the central courtyard captures the client’s love of outdoor living and desire for a water feature as the key element. location of residence within the community

When an individual becomes a dancer, they experience a therapeutic transformation in their abilities and psyche. Whether the pursuit is professional or casual, dance builds communities through the individual. This project contributes to the art of dance by providing a metamorphic multi-use central space that transforms from dance classrooms into a 274-seat theater space with balcony and a full fly space. This is achieved by separating the two spaces with a movable ‘flywall’ that flies up to reveal the theater. Three structures contain 33,514 square feet and comprise the theater, large and small classrooms, administrative office space, cafe, locker facilities, community space, and storage. space planning and adjacency diagram

The City of Neuquén is situated at the confluence of two rivers that support significant agricultural production, energy production, and recreational opportunities. Neuquén has grown rapidly due to this geographic location and discovery of oil reserves. Rapid growth has spawned numerous informal housing settlements that often lack basic infrastructural services. Resettling these areas allows the municipal government to address this deficiency, by improving housing conditions and increasing density around a proposed pedestrian-friendly canal corridor. ‘Stepped-back’ dwellings provide individual families private outdoor space not typically found in multi-family housing. Constraining the building height to three stories, minimizes overcrowding. diagram of design interacting with water

The average lot size in the City of Neuquén is 10X20 meters. Designing multi-family housing based on this common unit allowed achievement of density levels three times greater than the existing conditions, based on the number of homes per hectare.

Greater residential density enhances society by minimizing community fragmentation caused by rapid growth and urban sprawl. Achieving higher residential densities, while avoiding overcrowding, enhances the quality of life by 1) improving access to employment, government services, social services, and daily sustenance, 2) creating opportunities for social interaction through community amenties, and 3) creating greater efficiencies for municipal service infrastructure by minimizing distances to reach communities. Weaving social housing within existing built environments, rather than on the fringe of the city, can bind society in a rich social fabric, enhancing the urban setting and social life. modeling density in the City of Neuquén

Single-family social housing addresses the existing condition of one family per lot. However, this design proposal is based on a lot size and configuration that creates greater densities than currently exist. It achieves a 40% increase in density based on the number of homes per hectare.
