Design Purpose
This new Architecture Center for Houston, which shares a parking structure for the adjacent Trinity Church, is designed to hold architecture exhibitions for the city of Houston as well as provide a place for Architecture Center employees ��� ������ � �� ��� ��� ����� ��� ��������� ���� ������� ��������along with a coffee shop and bookstore. The approach to this design was to aesthetically distinguish between the Architecture Center, and the remaining program to allow visitors to understand the distinct role architecture plays in our lives, all while maintaining a harmonious relationship with other parts. The architecture center and its components vertically stretch the main street facade to create a presence along the metro rail line. The retail portion of the program is strategically placed along the longest edge as to maximize potential sales to those passing by on their way to HCC campus. A shading system ties the building and garage together, with appropriately placed breaks allowing space for views and a large outdoor seating area which overlooks downtown as well as provides a space for ArCH employees to enjoy lunch. The day lit elevator and stair core respectfully alludes to the bell-tower of the Trinity Church directly across the street, helping transition between an older style sacred space and the newer contemporary space.

Design Purpose
This Seattle Eco-Hotel not only accomadates the ����� ���� ��� ��������� ��� ��� ����� ��� ����� ���� � �� ��� �����provides unique and interesting spaces for visitors through a systematic design approach centered around cohesive program elements. A three-pronged rock wall carves out a central atrium which not only providesspace for climbers, but also dynamic viewing for any visitor, naturally ventilating the building, and the walls for a gallery space. Hotel units wrap around the atrium ranging ���������������� ��� �������� ���������������������������� �������Seattle attractions. To maximize daylighting for the spaces, the typical hotel layout was re-examined and turned purpendicular to common practice to give the longest edge of the room the most window space. The wild-card program is a sky gym complete with work-out stations and a half olympic ��������� ����� ������������ ��������!� ����� ��������� ���hunger for physical activity necessary for this waterfront city.

Houston, TX
Design Purpose
This project was part of a semester long urban design project focusing on a small portion of land which is part of #�������� $���� ��� %� ����&�� ����� ������ � '���������� ()*� �������through Memorial Park leaving a sliver of land separated from a large majority of the park, ultimately becoming our site. My Idea is to create a place that documents the rise, (and hopefully) the fall ���� ��� �� ��&��������������� �; �����������������������������<� ��������� � ���� =��������� ����� ������� ������ ��� ������ ����expansion in plan, section, and in elevation as best to describe and explain the issues of a given time, and exhibit the comodities which coincide. When a person visits the museum, they will walk through a virtual timeline with artifacts and/or machinery used during that time period; indications of how much our society has grown accustomed to such things.

Tom Diehl
Houston, TX
Design Purpose
Located in the Montrose district of Houston, this “place of destination,” services the new Metro rail which is to run directily in front of the site. The program consists of space for those riding the metro, a bike shop, coffee shop, and an antique furniture store. Considering the array of program elements needed for this project, my intention is to visually connect each program element through a carving out process of a solid mass. This mass vs. void technique reveals itself in plan and in section, joining together four seperate programatic pieces, and allowsitself to be seen through transparency voids in a continuous manner.

Houston, TX
Design Purpose
Located on the banks of Buffalo Bayou just north of downtown Houston, this abandoned building is to be turned into a museum for the city of Houston. An abstraction of the current building shape led to a design exploration of maintaining a rectilinear shell while satisfying design requirements. The program cosists of gallery walls, ������������������� ������������������������������������������second year studio project is meant to push students toward amore comprehensive building but still maintain basic design principles.

Design Purpose
In light of the danger and fear the city of @������ ��� ��� ���������� ��������� ��� ��� ���������� ���address this issue with a logical response. Bridges are the main catalyst which gives the city its unique identity and main access from one island to the next; therefore a building that not only upholds the identity of Venice, but also solves the ��� �� ��� �������� ��� ����� ������������ � ���boutique-hotel would span from one existing structure to the next, over the waterways, in the most respectful manner to bind four individual islands together to create one place, all the while preserving the historic buildings of the area.
