Gator Expansion Design inspiration is taken from UHD alligator mascot sun-bathing to present as a campus statement piece. Roof volume is sculpted by

pushing and pulling to form an alligator body structure and complimented with high-reflective metal standing seam roof to add shine.

Computational Design & Scripting The new expansion floor features parametric design walls inspired by the skin texture of an alligator which is the mascot for the UHD to infuse the university identity into the

architecture. Parametric modeling for the design walls was done through Rhino/Grasshopper using mainly two-step methods of manipulating Voronoi pattern and PopulateGeometry.

Grasshopper: ‘Voronoi’ + ‘PopulateGeometry’

Voronoi design ‘FlowAlongSrv’ on curved wall

Site Constraints Building site currently has large grown trees to the West that will remain untouched. Smaller, medium-sized trees (colored in red) will be removed to make space for construction. Utility lines running through the site further constrains building footprint and area on ground and sets the boundary on how to locate and position building on the land.

Face of the enslaved The building performs as the face of the enslaved and explicitly surfaces the negative connotation of slavery history that is hushed but needs to be remembered. Blood red emphasis on structure and rigid boney edges of extruding volumes, the architecture depicts a veil masked over a facial figure that is reminiscent of all those who were enslaved and oppressed in the past.

PLASTIC RECYCLING EDUCATION CENTER TYPE

INDUSTRIAL

Plastic waste to bus transportation; Millions of barrels, shipped by cargos, parade through Buffalo Bayou every day in Houston. The incoming oil is transformed into a million tons of plastic waste that ironically will flow back into the Gulf, swimming in front of Brady Island.

This project will be a plastic recycling plant + production center that will use the recycled plastic directly gathered from the Buffalo Bayou

and the Harrisburg community to make bus window panels and bus stops to support for insufficient public transportation in the Harrisburg community. The plant will have a built-in bus stop area for buses to travel into the island, increasing accessibility for the community residents to visit and for local workers employed at the recycling plant + production center to commute.
