MUSEUM OF THE CURATOR

ARCH 2551 FALL 2021

Heath Macdonald

A conceptual museum designed to accommadate the clients needs. Creation of a grid system from Richard Diebenkorns Ocean Park series #24 was designed by using The modular system by Le Corbusier. Fields in the painting were converted into proportional grids following the golden ratio, and determines primary, secondary, and tertiary planes.

The design led to a maping of five seperate plates, each reflecting different structural systems. The plates ultimately culminate into a structure that translates the transition between traditional load bearing structure to the modernist freepiloti plan.

DALLAS STAR PAVILLION

ARCH 2552 SPRING 2022

Victor Vielma and Crystal Portillo

A Pavillion deisgned for the dallas area was meant to be a connecting node for the nearby neighborhood La Bajada, Downtown Dallas, and the Trinity River. The pavillion was meant to also reinvent the site, and to bring public and residents together, in a highly interactive space.

Using simple methodogies such as paper folding, unique forms were created, eventually developing into a pavillion that emspasizes greenspace, community gathering, and utilizes the views from the dallas cityscape.

Paper folding teqniques, using primarily triangular forms, created unique deisigns that can incorporate ideas raised earth, shading, and gathering spaces. Inspired by the english definition of the nearby historical towns name, La Bahada, which thanslates to “The Descent”, paired with the carving created by the paper forms, birthed the idea for a elevated hillside with a shaded space below.

Despite its proximity to the Trinity River, a lack of public greenspace was evident in the area, and the designs aims to give back that much needed greenscape to the residents, while also attacting visitors and providing a venue for public events.

INSTITUTE OF PHOTOGRAPHY ARCH 3551 FALL 2022

Liliana Morales

An institute for photography IS an educational facility, and a means of correlating the connections between both photograhy and architecture. A program was given to accomedate the needs for the institute.

Blurring the lines between interior and exterior, as well as creating overlapping planes, akin to the photographical conecepts such as background, middle ground, and forground, we created a building that impements those ideas into its design. the plan also revolves around a central lanscaped courtyard, allowing for moments of pause or interaction.
