BOBBY DESLIS URBAN PLANNER + ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER

About Me

I use design as an outlet to express my artistic and creative abilites, while combining it with my technical knowledge. I am a quick learner and work well under pressure, as well as in fast paced environments. I enjoy working in groups and getting to know people on a personal level. I am a dedicated and fun-loving professional with an optimistic personality.

Outside of work, you’ll find me refurbishing furniture, trying new cafes, training for runs, petting dogs, going distance biking, and most importantly spending time with my family and friends.

Mixed Used Development

A mix of residential, retail, office and entertainment uses nestled next to a wetland park creates a more urban setting, while providing residents with easy access to nature.

The main gateway features higher density residential above retail, and the rest of the plan provides lower density garden apartments, townhomes, grocery, civil services, and options of an amphitheater or office campus.

Choice Neighborhood

This plan stitches the Southside Terrace Neighborhood back into the surrounding blocks with a series of public parks and plazas. Housing typologies ranging from townhouses and duplexes, to garden apartments and more modern elevator buildings give residents a variety of homes to live in, while providing them with common green spaces to connect.

Multi-Use: Energizer Concept

Smart city power grids must create and store energy in an efficient manner. This building was designed as a battery pack to produce, store, and distribute energy to the entire Schuylkill Yards master plan. High-efficiency photovoltaic glass wraps around each spire of the building. Battery units are intertwined with retail space at the base of the building, displaying them for the public. Residential space, and hotel occupy the three tallest towers.

Music Library: Virtuoso THE 118 th JOHN STEWARDSON MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE - 2019

Virtuoso is designed to be a physical catalog of music genres, and performers from throughout history and time. Vinyl records, Cassette tapes, and other outdated audio technology fill the stacks in this library. The performace space has built in projectors which generate holograms of any performer in the library archives - creating a real concert for spectators. The building’s form of a tilted block teetering on a hill is designed so that the building does not disturb the Susquehanna Gateway, and instead cantilevers out toward the river - framing views of the mountains around.

Refugee Center: Art Acclimation

This refugee center is located in the Warehouse District in Austin, Texas; a bustling low-rise area surrounded by high-rises. A grand staircase invites the public up to a second level market place/ plaza. The façade doubles as a public gallery space, and is angled toward the plaza below; creating a large scale art exhibit that ties into the rest of Austin’s rich creative culture.

During the day it protects the building from direct light and heat gain, and at night it displays projected images, turning the plaza below into a public theater.
