Star Archive

Program: Archive Space
Instructor: Charlton Lewis
Semester: Fall 2008
In this design, the building is literally
the object archived. The spherical
shell houses a life-size armillary sphere
charting the astrological constellations
and the earth’s equatorial plane.
The 12 ft tall sundial, archive, and
stargazing platform are arranged
along a symmetrical axis, emulating
processions to temples of ancient times.

Alamo LandscapeLocation: 300 Alamo Plaza,
San Antonio, TX
Program: Plaza before Historic Alamo
Instructor: Judy Birdsong
Semester: Fall 2010
Redesign of the Alamo Plaza, focused on
memory of the land. Swelled landscape
and a wall hides the row of tourist shops
visually and acoustically. Stone pavings
trace former structures of the mission,
military compound, and later park.

Swim CenterLocation: Ladybird Lake,
Austin, TX
Program: Natatorium
Instructor: John Blood

Competition v. Recreation
The competition pool addresses the downtown district
as an event node; the recreational pool greets the
park as a communal gathering space. The competition
pool boasts an intricate roof structure of leaping
diagonals, the recreational pool an overlapping
system of pathways exploring the space around these
two zones.
Connection Through
At the shaded cafe space, a window peers into the
underwater world of the competition pool above,
bridging the barrier between these two spaces as
onlookerser watch swimmers and divers from an
uncommon viewpoint.

Kinder Havana
Location: Havana, Cuba
Program: Kindergarten
Instructor: Cisco Gomes
Semester: Spring 2012
Collaboration With: Jodie Golla
This kindergarten lies across the bay
from Havana’s city center, near a historic
military fort garding the port city. It is
secluded in a cove within the larger port.
The school was designed with the idea of
learning by exploring. The main program
of the building is below the entrance
level inside a cove; a world known only
to the young students. All classrooms have
direct access to the outdoors, and to the
courtyard playground through a raised
brise soleil gallery.

Room Study
The lunchroom and classrooms were of particular
focus for this project. The lunchroom is enveloped in
translucent channel glass, and opens out directly onto
the playground. It is the only room that breaks the
square form of the building. Pendant lights trace the
level change in this room.
All classrooms are grouped in pairs, sharing a
bathroom. The interior is divided into activity zones.
Each room opens out to a screened breezeway on
the courtyard side.

A runaway teen is disconnected from all social resources at a critical
stage in development. In response, this shelter promotes camaraderie
and intimacy by becominng a room when two or more are connected.
The entire system folds out from a backpack such that the users are inside
the shelter once assembled., and find solace in each other’s company.

Center for Homeless Families
Close attention was paid to the
courtyard as a primary social node.
All housing units face the courtyard,
with a wall that opens up onto a
porch shared between two pods.
Children have plenty of space
to play outdoors in a safe place.
Pathways and pockets of seating
allow moments of conversation.
A center for homeless families requires many more
services outside of housing. Case managers’ offices,
medical services, job training, a library, and child
care are all housed in a separate building, with each
service open to the public as well. The childcare
spaces in particular are anticipated to serve the
larger community. Through this service, residents will
find a place in a community once more and gain the
confidence to nurture a successful family.
