THE LOOP 2023 | Midtown Atlanta, GA

PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL

The Loop Performing Arts High School emphasizes the benefits of transparency and connectivity within a building for education. When learning within a building, having the ability to see others around and in different spaces can inspire creativity and foster a connection within the occupiers. A central courtyard serves as the heart of the school, connecting different wings and providing a versatile outdoor performance space. This green oasis not only adds a touch of nature but also serves as a communal gathering area for students and staff. Extensive use of glass in the facades brings the outside in and floods the interior with natural light. This transparency not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also creates a sense of openness, connecting the internal spaces with the surrounding landscape. The main auditorium is designed with modular elements to facilitate various seating arrangements, transforming the space for different performances. Additionally, a black box theater provides an intimate setting for experimental performances, further enhancing the school’s versatility. The performing arts school’s architectural design fosters a dynamic and transparent environment where students can explore their artistic passions collaboratively. The emphasis on connectivity and transparency not only enhances the learning experience but also creates a visually stunning and inspiring setting for the next generation of performing artists.

EL PASO REFUGEE 2023 | El Paso, TX

This innovative refugee camp design in El Paso, Texas, re-imagines train cars as adaptable housing units, offering both functionality and sustainability in transitional living. The units are thoughtfully arranged in clusters to form sub-communities, fostering a sense of belonging and connection among residents. These clusters are centered around the outdoor spaces, creating shared courtyards for communal activities and quiet areas for reflection, balancing social interaction and privacy.

Positioned to embrace the site’s stunning mountain views, each unit features large windows equipped with reflective glass to ensure privacy while maintaining a visual connection to the surrounding landscape. Cooling shades on the windows provide thermal comfort, mitigating the desert heat. The modular nature of the train cars allows for flexibility in arrangement, enabling the creation of both intimate community hubs and open pathways that encourage interaction and movement providing a welcoming and safe environment for incoming residents
