A LUBBOCK COMMUNITY ON A PLAYA LAKE

This community was nestled in on the corner of 4th Street and Quaker Avenue in Lubbock.. The site contains a playalake that currently is detoirating due to the surrounding pollutants from the nearby busy roads and TTU parking lots. Playalakes are shallow circular shaped wetlands that provide water to migratory animals and local wildlife. The community is built around the playalake in a ring shape pattern using the lake as an oculus taking advantage of the natural slope to redirect water into Bioswales. The Bioswales are then redirected into filtering water and back into the Playalake. The homes were modestly built of Rammed Earth Brick and are oriented for Solar Passive Heating. The daytime spaces are oriented towards the sunrise, and, the nighttime spaces are oriented towards the sunset. The building includes an interoir courtyard that redirect water through sloped roofs, these sloped roofs provide water to the s interior cuortyard, that redirect water into the bioswales.

The homes are imagined to be middle income class housing, made of rammed earth bricks. The design uses an interior courtyard that acts a vestibule. This is a simple and efficient of cutting heating and cooling losses by providing an air buffer. The left side also holds the private spaces and the right side holds for public spaces. The private side is oriented for sunset and the public for sunrise.

Since the community is centered around a playa lake the community is designed to redirect water back into the playa lake. The playa lake itself needed many renovations to restore

back into a working playa lake that redirects water back into the Ogallala Aquifer.

MERCADO EN SEVILLA

2

A Mercado in Sevilla, was my studio project from study abroad. This project began with an in depth study and analysis of not just Spanish culture but also Market Culture. My immersion in the culture and my travels allowed me to see Spanish culture from first person perspective, theese observations are mirrored into my project as well. My building houses a plaza in the center which allows people to gather and socialize amongst eachother as they visit the surrounding market. These also act as shortcut for people walking to the nearby destinations like the church or the park behind the site. The market itself is organized vertically on a grid system, allowing shoppers to easily access the stalls they need. This also allows for plumbing and electrical systems needed for specific stalls to be placed easier. The building also uses houses a cafe and tapas bar, next to the church and incoming major street intersection allowing people to easily access them.

SINCE THIS IS A MARKET THE MAJORITY OF THE SPACE WILL BE GIVEN TO THE MARKET STALLS. THE EATERIES AND OTHER PUBLIC SPACES WILL BE PUT ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING.

SPANISH CULTURE AND ITS Influence ON MARKETS

The Spanish Market is a place full of wonderful smells, bright colors, noisy conversation. A place where your senses are in for a surprise. Historically markets served as place of commerce allowing for people to easily access the goods they needed in one place. Today the Market is not only a place of commerce but it is also a place of gathering and socialization. Markets today host a variety of people from children playing outside to young adults in a cafe to the elder women going in and out to get fresh produce. The market stall becomes in an intimate space which host this interaction between the stallholder and the customer. This relationship is what makes the market experience truly exceptional because you get this idea of community and unity. This happens through this interaction because you get to develop a relationship with the chef or food expert and he or she can recommend you things based on likes and dislikes. This intimate space is an everyday part of life for local customers. For the Spanish People the market is a place of commerce, education, social interaction and leisure

“The Cafecito Culture”

Sevilla,

Andalucia, Spain

Local Cafe Gallito & Galleta next to my school in Sevilla where I would have a “Cafecito” everyday after class with my friends or host mom. Drinking a coffee and having a conversation with friends is an everyday part life. Spanish cultue is about taking the time to enjoy time with others. To-Go coffee is not the norm in Spain becuase you should take time to sit down and relax as you drink. Unity and community is at the forefront of Spanish culture and is embedded into every aspect of their lives. Neighboors and coffee shop workers know one another.

“The

Market Stall Illusion”

Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain

The large amount of produce and meat that each stall has is a statement to the choice of quality. A quick glance with your own eyes allows you to quickly discover you wheather or not you want to indulge yourself in purchasing their products.

INTERVIEW

WITH MY HOST MOM

“MARIBEL”

TO YOU WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT ABOUT A MARKET?

“The

Plaza & Social Gathering”

Cadiz, Andalucia, Spain

Children gather in the Plaza outside of a market in Cadiz to play soccer. The plaza becomes a public space of gathering for a range of people from young children to young adults drinking at the tapas bar

“The

Market Stall & it’s Complexity”

Valencia, Valencia, Spain

A Chocolatier who runs his own market in Valencia famous for its choclate. We had a conversation and he gave me reccomendations on which cholate to buy. The market stall is an intimate space which host this conversation if full of goods and produce to make reccomendations.

“TO ME THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT A MARKET IS THAT I HAVE EASY ACESS COMING INTO AND OUT OF THE BUILDING. SINCE I AM OLDER AND IT’S HARD FOR ME TO WALK EASY ACCESS IS ESSENTIAL.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY PREFRENCES WHEN IT COMES TO MARKET STALL ORGANIZATION?

“YES, ONE OF THE REASONS I TRAVEL TO DOWNTOWN ALL THE WAY TO MARCADO DE LA ENCARNACION IS BECAUSE OF THIS PRECISE REASON. THE MARKET STALLS ARE DIVIDED BY CATEGORY, I CAN EASILY GO IN AND OUT GET ONLY WHAT I NEED ”

WHAT DO YOU THINK EVERY MARKET SHOULD HAVE?

“I THINK ITS IMPORTANT FOR A MARKET TO HAVE A CAFE AND TAPAS BAR. IT’S APART OF OUR CULTURE, I GO EVERY OTHER DAY TO GET FRESH PRODUCE AND MEAT MY FRIENDS JOIN ME AND AFTERWARDS WE STOP FOR A CAFECITO”

Revitalizing and Expanding the TTU-HCoA Complex: Exploring Coexistence and Developing Energy System

While doing my site analysis I realized the COA had several issues when it comes to site planning. Due to the large amount of concrete the issue of flooding and urban heat effect were increased. There is also an issue with native species who call the campus home having a proper place to dwell. My proposal to solve this was to intergrate rain chain facade which will filter and reuse water throughout the site and these watering systems provide water for local wildlife and gardens. My proposal removes the concrete in the site and adds gravel sidewalks and which absorb water and filter it into the green roof on the Art Building. The plant species are specifically choosen to choosen for the species that would be introduced into the site when it comes to terms of rewilding. Playa lakes are also added as a water source for the small rodents and mammals on campus and also serve as migratory stop for birds. The goal was to try and create a building that relied soley on rain water to function it’s watering systems and to try to restore the landscpae to its natural state.

The first step was in depth analysis of the different issues the COA faces throughout the year. When it rains here due to the natural slope of the land it always floods on the South-West intersection,During the Summer hot the area produces a massive urban heat effect. The site plan to the right proposes using a gravel path instead of concrete driving the urban heat effect down.

The Java and Jam Pavillions were apart of a summer course I took in the summer in collaboration with Neal Lucas Hitch from i/ thee Studio and Erin Linsey Hunt a proffesor at TTU, the pair designed the pavillions. The project sits on the Historic Site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival,which is still in use today for music festivals. I assisted in various parts of the construction and helped prepare the biocomposite materials. We started the project by sifting through recycled coffee grounds and removing any clumps that may have formed from moisture and drying them out into the sun. Plywood sheets with an adaptive kerf pattern pulled from a grasshopper model were then assembled together.We then mixed the together the biocomposite material and then applied it using a technique resembling a wattle and duab construction.

Final Structure

The final structures become apart of the historic grounds of the Woodstock Festival. The structures are made entirely from biodegradable materials using alloing the land to remain untouched after they decompose, since it is a historic site. The structures made fro digital and hand techniques symbolize a way to preserve culture.
