SITE DESIGN - TEXAS TECH CASNR ANNEX PLAZA

URBAN DESIGN - CHATMANHILL NEIGHBORHOOD

FOR URBAN DESIGN CLASS, STUDENTS WERE REQUIRED TO ANALYZE THE CITY OF LUBBOCK'S SURROUNDING URBAN ENVIRONMENTS AND HOW

EACH AREA OF TOWN FUNCTIONED ACCORDING TO ITS ZONING PURPOSE. CHATMANHIIL PROJECT FOCUSED ON AN AREA OF TOWN THAT ONCE FUNCTIONED AS A SUBURB IN EAST LUBBOCK FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, BUT NOW HAS TURNED INTO AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE LITTERED WITH VACANT WAREHOUSES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT WAS

TO GIVE THE AREA A NEW IDENTITY BY PROVIDING RECREATIONAL, INTERACTIVE PARK SPACE THAT INCORPORATES SUSTAINABLE ELEMENTS SUCH AS

HARNESSING SOLAR ENERGY, AND COMMUNITY GARDENING.

PLANTING DESIGN - MCDONALD RESIDENCE

AFTER COMPLETING VARIOUS HORTICULTURAL

CLASSES, THE NEXT STEP IN FURTHERING OUR DESIGN ABILITIES WITH PLANT MATERIAL WAS ENGAGING IN THE PLANTING DESIGN CLASS. IN THIS CLASS, WE WERE ASSIGNED A PROJECT THAT

INVOLVED RE-DESIGNING A RESIDENTIAL HOME USING

ELEMENELEMENTS AND STYLES THAT WERE PREFERRED BY THE MCDONALD

RESIDENCE. FOR THIS PROJECT WE

WERE ASKED TO USE ALL XERIC PLANTS TO REDUCE

WWATER USAGE, BUT

AT THE SAME TIME

USE ENOUGH PLANT

MATERIAL TO COVER

UP AREAS THAT

WHERE STRIPPED OF

GRASS THAT HAD

EXIEXISTED BEFORE.

ENTERING OUR FIFTH YEAR AS SENIORS WE HAD TO TAKE A COLLABORATION CLASS THAT CONSISTED OF ARCHITECTS, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, AND INTERIOR DESIGNERS WHO WORKED TOGETHER TO CREATE A PROFESSIONAL GRADE PROJECT FOR THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM OF THE DOWNTOWN WEST-END DISTRICT OF DALLAS. FRACTURING

WWAS THE CONCEPT THE TEAM AND I CAME UP WITH THAT WE

THOUGHT WOULD BEST REPRESENT THE HOLOCAUST. FROM THIS CONCEPT WE CREATED THE SHAPES AND STRUCTURES THAT MAKE THE BUILDING FORMS, EXHIBITS, PLAZAS, REFLECTION PONDS, GARDENS, RAMPS AND PATHWAYS. AFTER PRESENTING OUR FINAL PROJECT THE PROFESSORS OF EACH DISCIPLINE DECIDED THAT OUR CCONCEPT WAS THE BEST OF ALL THE TEAMS, BUT IN THE END PLACED SECOND.

SENIOR PROJECT - UTEP CAMPUS REVITALIZATION

THE FINAL SEMESTER OF OUR SENIOR YEAR, EACH OF US PICKED

OUR OWN SITE LOCATIONS TO ANALYZE, AND DESIGN A PROJECT

THAT REFLECTED OUR DESIGN PREFERENCE AND STYLE. THE SITE I CHOSE WAS THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO ALSO

KNOWN AS UTEP. INSPIRATION FOR THE DESIGN CAME FROM HAVING A FAMILIARITY WITH THE UNIVERSITY, AND ACKNOWLEDGING

THTHAT ITS STRONG HISTORIC IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY DESERVED RECOGNITION THROUGH RESTORING ITS IDENTITY. THE REVITALIZATION OF THE SCHOOL’S CENTRAL CAMPUS BY RE-INTRODUCING THE SURROUNDING DESERT ENVIRONMENT INTO CAMPUS LIFE, SEEMED LIKE THE MOST FITTING WAY OF RESTORING

THE UNIVERSITY’S HISTORIC, REGIONAL IDENTITY.
