LIVING IN COLOR

DECEMBER 2021 DAMON LEVERETT

An exploration on mixed-use spaces drove a deeper understanding of human scale & movement, light & color, and relationship to site & regional context.

Sitting in the urban context of Mid-Town Tucson, Arizona, Living In Color is a bold yet, fresh take on the typology and urbanism in its context. Stained glass windows are the accentuated focus point of the project and the project utilizes its three main forms to divide the program into commercial, public spaces, residential spaces, and private living spaces.

Living In Color is invigorating live, work, and community space that plays off local typology, light, and color to bring new life into an older corner of Tucson.

Playful Interiors are created through strategically placed stained glass windows that create well lit and ever changing interior spaces. The windows are contemporary version of a regional typology in which window sills are accentuated through bright accent colors.

THE DESERT HAVEN

LAURA CARR, ALETHIA IDA

A pavilion that aims to not only be a shelter, but a social gathering place, a garden, and an observation deck. With a small footprint, Desert Haven curates a multitude of activities & exemplifies the idea of sustainable development through biomimicry techniques.

Top Opening

Allows rain to fall into the structure and on the inner dome & garden.

Native Plant Garden

The inner dome is populated with native plants on top of the structure so rain can flow down the side of the dome and water the plants.

Passive Cooling

Plants in the garden will produce cool air due to their natural cycles, allowing cool air to fill within the structure.

UNDERSTANDING BIOMIMICRY

Refill the Water Table

If water runs off the dome and to the path, a garden sits at the bottom and allows water to seep into the Earth.

By dissecting the form of the Perry Agave, a plant native to the Southwest, Desert Haven aims to emulate the properties of the plant. The pavilion, like the plant, is self-shading and protects the inner part of the structure from the harsh sun. The pavilion also collect water like the agave and funnels it into the garden and the runoff filters back into the earth, instead of creating water runoff.

INDIGENOUS SCIENCE ANNEX

OCTOBER 2022

TERESA ROSANO

Located in the Santa Catalina Mountain range near Tucson, Arizona, the Indigenous Science Annex aims to create a space to pass along the earth science knowledge of the nearby Tohono O’odham people and build on that knowledge with programmed areas for active research labs.

Two crescent moon shaped-forms line the inclined site providing a direct view from the top of the site down to the bottom. This untouched area of land connects the site visually and preserves part of the original site to enforce the idea of coexistence between the built and natural environment.

Top Floor Plan

The use of hand-drawing floor plans was to explore how character, materiality, and emotion can be expressed through presentation. Most of the project programming lies within the top floor plan, with the public and private areas being separated by the two different buildings. The main program of the southern building is to facilitate active research spaces pertaining to earth sciences while the northern building contains community living spaces to house short or long term stays for groups.

COEXISTENCE became a guiding principal in form methodology and program. Though the structure takes away from the land, the large east-west corridor remains untouched to provide the connection back to the land from any spot within the project.

West-Facing Section Perspective

Peering into the forest with an unobstructed view became a moment concept within the project. This manifested itself into a private balcony peering into the aspen groves. The aspen grove is an important viewpoint as throughout the year, the leaves of the aspens change and elevate the experience of individuals who want an individualized and personal connection to the grove of trees.

THE WIGGLE ROOM

DECEMBER 2022

TERESA ROSANO

Bringing new life and creativity into Bisbee, the expansion of The Wiggle Room emulates creativity through its colorful expression in form and sculpture and expansive program.

Three distinct areas create the program; public spaces, a performance space, and private spaces. The public space, draws the community in through a colorful facade with metal louvers that “wiggle” providing visual depth and excitement. The rainbow hues of the facade beckon the creative community of Bisbee into the complex. The expansion of The Wiggle Room is a hub that defines a new era for Bisbee as a creative hub in the Southwest.

Bisbee, a city known for its European-esque architecture, posed a problem for expansion. Contemporary architecture and renewal in this context allowed for an exploration in the idea of a Visual Juxtaposition between old and new, dark and light, and industrial versus community-oriented.

Stylized South Facing Section

Creating a circulation experience that wasn’t only function to connect the low side, park level, and high side of the project created an opportunity for a dynamic sculptural piece. Three triangular structures filled with stained glass soar into the sky and project colors into the outdoor circulation space and the park next door.

To reflect the creativity from the original Wiggle Room space, a conceptual moment was created on the idea that an individual could be enveloped in a Kaleidescope of Colors.

Old City Park

A pre-existing park next to the site created an opportunity for greater connectivity through site and the city as a whole.

Community Garden

The Community garden on the high side of the site provides fresh produce and is aimed at drawing the neighborhood community into the project.

The Color Garden

An almost living garden of colored light wraps around the outdoor circulation core creating an experience in circulation itself and creating a show of bright colors.

Bold & Bright

One of the 4 structures of the color garden reaches up and over the performance stage, coating local performers in light.

Bold & Bright

Mimicking the bright yellow door of the original space, the bright colors of the facade undulate between yellow and the rest of the rainbow colors.

WATSON & WEBBER

COLLABORATION: OLIVIA NELSON, KJ DIDAN

A semester-long collaborative project that explored the use of pattern, layers, & connections to create a screen wall. Once the two layers of wooden slats were created, the team was tasked to create a window-like opening that exemplified the existing pattern while being experimental and unique.
