Makani Wellness CenterTerm: Fall 2014 | Texas A&MCourse: Arch 605.601Critic: Michael O’brien

The Makani Village Wellness Center is the continuation of the Makani Village Mas-ter Plan project completed at the beginning of the Fall 2014 Semester in conjunc-tion with the Texas A&M Landscape Architecture Department. Our original task was to design a master planed community for the Makani company to house their manufacturing plant and headquarters, and to provide housing and other neces-sities for the employees and their families. Once the master plan was complete, we chose one project within the master plan to further develop.

The Makani Wellness Center provides for and promotes an overall wellness in mind, body, and spirit. Done so through a design utilizing abundant natural light-ing, access to fresh air, interior spaces that interact with the exterior, and views to the site and beyond. The design also integrates multiple green design aspects and tectonic cues from the Makani Village Master Plan.

The GateTerm: Spring 2014 | Louisiana Tech Course: Arch 435.001Critic: Dr. Pasquale De Paola

The connection point between two countries can be a complicated condition; it can become a visual expression of clashing cultures, political ideals, and personal values. This condition can be dealt with either through hostile barriers or through open arms.

Douglas, Arizona presents such a condition. It is located on the border of the United States and Mexico, two countries which, at times, have a complicated relationship because of the shared border. Recently the two countries have built walls along the 1,933-mile long border in order to control the illegal immigration.

Based on site-specific research, and the current infrastructure used by the existing border crossing, the building’s footprint was laid out east to west, allowing for the vehicle processing stations to be integrated into the structure of the building. Vehicle traffic flows through the site and under the building. A wing of program that intersects the longitudinal structure that spans the traffic lanes serves pedestrian traffic.

Views through the site, vectors from traffic conditions, and cues from the surrounding topogra-phy informed the triangulated form of the building. Materials were chosen as to allow for views through the building. Specific portions of the façade were constructed to allow light and sight lines through the structure, framing the views beyond. A corten sun-screen was added to the southern façade to shade the building from the direct sunlight, while allowing softer northern light to penetrate the buildings transparent façade.

Cube HousingTerm: Winter 2013 | Louisiana Tech Course: Arch 425.001Critic: Brad Deal

Cube Housing is a response to the need for a quickly deployable, temporary shelter that can transition into a more permanent infrastructure for an area rebuild-ing after a natural disaster. This project is more specifically aimed to respond to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, which left an estimated 1.5 million Haitians homeless. Cube Housing provides a basic framework: aluminum framing and connections, roofing panels, a water purification and storage system wall insert, solar panels, and necessary hardware to provide for future outfitting of parts per the resident’s choice.

Cube Housing also provides the resident the ability to personalize their dwelling. Some of the included hardware includes panel inserts that allow more common Haitian building materials to be applied to the Cube’s aluminum frame.

The Cube’s aluminum frame also allows a great amount of modularity to fit alter-nate program needs such as community centers, dining halls, schools, etc. Its modular pieces and connections can be used and combined to create much larger structures than the original Cube House. Finally, when conditions begin to improve, the Cube’s aluminum frame can be used to build more traditionally con-structed homes by providing structure to then build around.
