The Transcalar City

Housing the New Texas Triangle

The Texas Triangle houses 70% of the state’s population. With rapid growth and increasing real estate prices, it is time to expand this territory from a triangle to a trapezoid, linking Dallas\Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, to its fourth edge: Corpus Christi Bay. Creating the Texas Trapezoid is a transscalar design project as it needs territorial, urban, and architectural interventions.

Univercity, The Campus as Incubator for Urbanization

The project address the imbalance of healthcare and education opportunities in rural Texas in comparison to urban Texas. In rural areas of Texas there is a lack of education with correlates directly with a lack of health resources in the New Texas Triangle. The solution is Univercity. Univercity acts as a campus that contains universities, hospitals, green spaces, housing and much more. Univercity will be built in areas that have a travel time of 30 minutes or more to the nearest hospital or college. Univercity will be a 15 minute walkwable city that allows people to walk on top of the roofs to the housing zones.
