01. Lubbock Canyon Lake Trails System :

Revitalizing the Body, Heart, Soul of the City (Priority Experience) Project statement: The Lubbock canyon Lakes region is home to many city parks and open spaces. The city’s recent efforts to improve the area have enhanced existing opportunities for existing infrastructure by providing new services, resilience, and mobility. Through this project, with the collaboration of professional expertise and outside partners like HAFF and associates, we have learned the understanding of landscape scenarios explored innovative solutions using natural resources.

The primary objective of the studio was to establish details and in-depth perception of the issue and then use that interpretation to visualize environments that improve renaming to improve connectivity between various canyon lakes and parks in an unfinished greenbelt network.

Lubbock Canyon Lake Trails System : Revitalizing the Body, Heart, Soul of the City (Priority Experience)

Context: park + community

LARC:6415_COLLABORATION (STUDIO VI) PROJECT TYPE: GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL STUDIO ASSIGNMENT CREDITS: 4.00; PROJECT YEAR:2021 STUDIO FACILITATOR: DANIEL PHILLIPS JARED HORSFORD

During the year, like a pandemic, the urban park became more than ever a place of calm, safe gathering, escape, and exercise.

Therefore, these green spaces were vital in ensuring that they could get outside, explore natural features and interact with wildlife. That is very important for both the mental and physical wellbeing of a community or neighborhood.

Context: farmland + wild

Through this redesigning of the Lubbock canyon lakes district, this project aims to bring the local people from the neighborhood of Lubbock city down to the park. With proper planning and events like Friday Art events, downtown music festivals, and such things, involving the community, the site will provide a plethora of experiences for many different users. For a local out for running jogging, quick exercises, people from further afield wanting a peaceful nature excavation or a romantic moonlight walk, or for kids wanting to meet their friends and take advantage of the open space and play in the wilderness -- there should be something for Context: residential + industrial

everyone.

Context: highway crossing + lake

Proposed Trail System

Contextual Boundary Map

Trail system Travel Trail: The travel trail allows for fluid connection for various types of transportation. Meaning cars, cyclists, the infamous lime scooters, runners etc.

Legends

Adventure Trail: The adventure trail is the more challenging of the 3. The change in topography and material make this trail more appealing to cyclists, bikers or hikers. The path was chosen with the intent to not only allow people to venture out but also get their heart rate up through mild exercise.

Scenic Trail: The trail is designed to be easily accessible and navigable, so that all users may be able to experience the serene landscapes of the canyon lakes.

This trail can express this experience through viewing platforms, and trailheads that guide you

02. Designing for curiosity – Reimaging CDRC outdoor learning environment

“A creative playground is only half creative space; it’s also a creative attitude. And we’re changing as much as we’re changing spaces“ ---- Jay Beckwith, 1973 Children should change the places them, create compositions, bring them together, separate, take a piece of them, and re-install the missing part.

Can design of a space encourage children’s curiosity?

Which design elements may afford behaviors related to children’s science/STEM learning?

In these project, by developing a reimagined CDRC outdoor learing environment (OLE), tried to answer these question.

To encourage outdoor play and learning activities, this design tried to integrate the site according to the children’s learning experience through play.

Plan of CDRC

Semi Shaded space to play with the Light and Shadow, with different height of the parabola Light and shadow play is an amazing way for children to explore the world around them Act as a stage for Drama activities

- Small rectangular Planks for children to hop and jump - Encourage children to achieve greater distance in their hops by hopping over obstacles such as hoops or small cones - Introduce the use of the arms to generate power

The school is child’s 2nd home, as they spend their maximum time here.. After coming from home all those home sicknesses and sorrows and sad feelings can me enlighten by the color and smell of the flowers..

Moving into the garden with the tunnel, connecting two spaces ..

The methodology of this post occupancy evaluation is divided in three parts.

1) Focus on the understanding the current pathway, and activity and movement behavior 2) The current condition and quality of the space and how to improve it?

3) How the children, faculty, caregiver use and perceive this space, move through the space and how they use it.

4) Lastly, what is their preference.

Synergy Courtyard Design: An expression of combined value of Art, Architecture and Landscapes

Synergy Courtyard Design An expression of the combined value of Art, Architecture, and Landscapes

Creating Affordances

Artist: Lysippos​ Value: $650,000​ Height: 78”​ Weight: 825 lbs.​ Pedestalsize:27”

Creating Movement

Fiorenza​

Artist: Flemish sculptor Giambologna ​ Value: $650,000​ Height: 49.5”​ Weight: 225 lbs.​ Pedestal size: 11”

The Minerva Italicais a Roman copy of a Greek sculpture of between the 5th and 4th century BC. It has also been called Minerva Vaticana because it is currently kept at the Vatican Museums.

Colleges and Universities by design are memorable places, and students often develop a strong place attachment.

The Concept of place also includes numerous sculptures/ artifacts found on campus that constitute its material culture.

Apoxyomenos, the “scraper”, is a bronze statue by the sculptor Lysippos.​ It represents an athlete​. Lysippos’s work is innovative because it breaks with the traditional frontal pose of Greek art.

The statue portrays Aphrodite as she is born from the water, as described by so many artists.

The main goal is to produce a collaborative design for a common courtyard space to house and display the statues/ sculptures​.

These sculptures are pieces of extraordinary work of the artists and Texas Tech University is taking immense pride to exhibit them in the Courtyard space of the Art and Architecture buildings.

The details of the Sculptures are as follows:

Synergy, also mentioned as Synergism in certain publications originates from the Greek word, Synergos, meaning working together.

It is defined as an abstract concept that refers to a combined value or a result that arises from the sum of individual and interacting parts.

Synergy of Spaces

• •

At present – the courtyard is visually divided in two spaces.

•

Break the rigidity of the geometric lines and shapes.

•

Focusing on the mean center.

•

Transformation using the organic grid.

•

Flexibility in the design.

•

Visual connections.

•

Sub divided zones for activites around the sculpture court.

•

Synthesizing the connection of individual spaces to create a larger courtyard

Minimalistic Landscape and Lot of Bricks paving in the Courtyard space.

Existing Site Analysis & Issues Positive Aspects: - Adequate sunlight.

- The Scale and proportions of the courtyard.

Negative Aspects: - Movement pattern - Visual connectivity - The space is around the courtyard is all platonic - No Outdoor activity - No gathering space - Hard landscape

The Courtyard is highly an inactive space because there are no affordance, activities, sculpture and landscapes which gives this space an identity.

Moreover, the rigidity of geometric lines and hard paving materials makes it monotonous.

04. Artist Hub

Project statement: ARTIST HUB is a place where artist explore their creativity, far away from the city’s busy life, noice and pollution. More of a like, moving towards nature, lost into the woods where only noice will be a sounds of birds, wind, water. The site is surrounded by water, natural ecosystem is already present in the site so the material has been collected from the site makes the site more sustainable and environment friendly.

The structure is made by brick morter but the detailing and the elevation treatment has been done by brick and woods. furthermore all the material has been collected from the site.

A place or thing that forms the effective center of an ARTIST activity, region, orHUB network is called “HUB” So, ARTIST HUB can be termed as the Centre for activity for the Creative Industry.

Designing the building Considering the Existing Situation Building Function: Cadet House Cadet House is where the young cadets spend their time socializing and resting. How-ever, according to their daily routine, the time from coming to their room, taking a show-er, and getting dressed to go to the next activity is minimal and challenging to give them organized space to use the maximum output of minimum space. Due to mosquito prob-lems in the rural area, the argonomics for properly hanging the mosquito net have been designed to protect them. The shoe rack for the students to organize the shoes has been designed to not worry about where to put them. Even the light for the bookshelf has been considered while designing the space.
