Sited at the Stephen F. Austin High school, the natatorium represents the studio’s semester long investigation into water’s phenomenal qualities. As a liminal place, the complex acts as a vessel of mental and physical change by providing a clean medium to aggressively attack the complacency of everyday life. The apolitical values of love, kindness, and compassion will resonate within the structure creating a greater sense of Communitas within the city. Change will occur. Change must take place.
The Austin Natatorium

The Cloud RoomsThe Cloud RoomsThis project began by analyzing water’s phenomenal qualities. Focusing on the cloud’s diaphanous condition, the phenomenon was reproduced with various screens and tested in a heliodon. The screen-light relationship was then pushed to inhabitation and used in the design of five changing rooms for Austin’s Big Stacey swimming pool. The quotidian routine inherent to the pool (the changing of clothes) would be encased by a volume similar to a cloud. Here the public could prepare for the act of swimming, leaving the normal, everyday stresses behind.

Agora and ClausThe duplex created for Agora and Claus was derived from Kenneth Frampton’s Reflections on the Scope of the Tectonic. Set on a theoretical Pacific beach, the objective was to create a place where the owners dwelled within the tectonic and stereotomic. The inhabitants, who suffered from a severe case of agoraphobia and claustrophobia, were required to share an area within the duplex. By treating the shared area as a place of repose, Agora and Claus would be able to understand each other’s condition and move towards a new, balanced way of living.

Mixed Use TowerThe proposed multi-unit housing for visiting architectural professors responds to Austin’s desire to increase the density within the city. Using density as a design value, a tower utilizing 50% of the site was chosen. This design tactic provided vistas to all units and allowed future growth within the site. In order to attract the diverse social mass along Guadalupe St., the public was addressed with a ground level commercial base. By creating a dynamic place beneath the tower, the professors would be able to taste the richness of the city during their walk to work.
