Film Hotel
The implementation of a film component grants our hotel the ability to be truly unique. Thehotel will cater to the film enthusiast and the film professional. It will do so by allotting someof its spaces for screening areas and places for film related conferences and lectures. In addition, the hotel will feature a major public component. Austin benefits from an array ofbeautiful flora which we have decided to implement into our hotel as well. The hotel willfeature an outdoor green space adjacent to the food market that will be shared with the immediate community and provide a space for film as well,which could be used for community screenings of movies or bigger festival events.
The 80-room hotel is comprised of a kit of parts, or gestures. The first gesture as a more “massive” one, in which larger forms reflect more public programs, such as the movie theater , the ballroom, and the screening rooms. The seconde gesture is a more compartmenalized one , in which smaller C-shaped forms reflect the more intimate and private nature of hotel rooms. These rooms act as box seats for the courtyard screening area and facilitate the a quality of seeing and being seen commonly experienced throughout the history of theater and cinema. Public and private gestures are connected visually with the use of light wells and skylights to guide patrons throughout the hotel.

Bird Studies
The basis of the second semester was architecture inspired by nature, with a focus on birds. This led to a series of studies on bird anatomy, motion, appearance, and migration. The studies were conducted in various mediums - graphite, prismacolor, water color, and museum board. The result is a better understanding of the ‘user’s’ relatiohship with architecture and a continuing exploration of different means of creative expression.

Semester 6 Design V1 Birdsong
Natural History Museum
The following project is a 20,000 sq. ft. natural history museum , to be located along the hike and bike trail at Lady Bird Lake and South First Street. The mass of the proposed building is to be raised off of the ground on mega-trusses to promote continued pedestrian use on the ground, and would be further subdivided into four “pods” that offer a more human scale and allow for outdoor circulation in between. The pods are arranged in order to catch southern breezes underneath the raised structure of the museum and also in order to mimic the structural nature of neighbooring bridges.

The commune of Igny, France was the focus of Richard Sabatier and Stéphane Rioland’s Master’s Design Studio at the École Nationale Supérieur d’Architecture in the Spring of 2014. The project began as an open-ended question as to how the commune could be restored and improved as it modernized, a question that plagues many French towns on the outskirts of major cities. Two strenuous months of group research and analysis directed students to select individual projects. The result of this analysis points toward a need for reevaluation of the commune’s current building code and the way in which it preserves its heritage.

The following group project is a proposal for the replanning of a neighborhood just off of the intersection of Airport Boulevard and Lamar. It currently supports industrial trades and locally-owned businesses. The goal of the replanning is to establish a community of mixed use units that will economically benefit and increase the value of the surrounding Hyde Park neighborhood. According to the maste plan, the buildings along Airport Boulevard are the tallest in order to attract attention to the neighborhood. The buildings gradually decrease in height as you travel westwadr in order to blend seamlessley into the single story homes along the western edge of the site.

Semester 5 Environmental Controls I Fall 2012 with Patrick McGovern and Jennifer Stein
‘Crowd of People’ Luminaire
The luminaire is a bundle of vertical dowels of various lengths that run through two clear disks of plexiglass. The fixture is pendant-mounted with the fixture supported by the lamp, which is embedded into the top disk. In conjuction with the dowels, the two disks create one large chamber around the lamp in the mid-section of the luminaire. Moreover, the lamp light is softened by a cylinder of yellow trace paper encased in thin acrylic that runs around the lamp. While providing more light for the working surfaces, the luminaire will bring soft light in close proximity to the user, offering a more intimate, variable lighting situation.

FEA Wall Assembly Study
The focus of the Federal Environmental Agency in Dessau, Germany is to use the existing environment to naturally heat and cool the building, making it a completely sustainable structure. The vertical exterior double-glazing fits into the timber spandrel structure that extends across the FEA’s outdoor skin. There is a pattern of colored glass panels and timber-framed windows that are translucent. Narrow ventilation grilles can be found behind the colored glass panels and can be opened or closed according to temperature.

Semester 2 Design II Spring 2011
Nature Center
The second semester culminates in the Nature Center project. At this point, a sound knowledge of how to use site analysis and the natural environment as a driving force in the design process has been established. The back bone of the nature center is a long gabion wall that serves as a constant throughout the form. It protrudes out of the side of a hill and gives the sense of enclosure in an otherwise outdoor space. Users are meant to enter the at a threshold at the top of the hill and descend into a gradually-shrinking gallery. Guided by light at the end of the gallery, users turn to discover the grand surrounding landscape.
