ARCH 4341: MAPPING THE CITY
Spring 2023 : Seville, Spain
Brief Exploration of Social housing in Sevillas Neighborhoods
This Project of Sevilla came from a First-Place prize in an anonymous competition for the promotion of social housing in one of the most prominent neighborhoods of Sevilla. Located near the Plaza de Espana, these Apartments are in close quarters with Sevilla’s top tourist attractions along with its University. It resides right next to a student housing apartment which typically tends to be more social due to its student engagement. The proposal for this competition called for the utilization of maximum height. With this in mind, there would be more use of the ground floor, allowing for visual pedestrian permeability and more sunlight to reach the vacant spaces below. Seven towers are arranged randomly on the site, however with the intent to widen the pedestrian paths and allow for visual connections and optimum sunlight. Viviendos Por el Poveneir addresses the different relationships between its environment and its inhabitants.

PERFORATED SURFACE DRAIN
A Perforated Surface Drain collects excess water from the ground, preventing waterlogging and potential damage to the house's foundation. By channeling rainwater away from the property, the collected water can be stored and reused for irrigation, promoting water conservation and reducing dependency on freshwater sources.
RENOVATION OF THE HUCKABEE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE,
Fall 2023 ARCH 4601 , Lubbock, TX
The newly named Huckabee College of Architecture received a generous grant for the underutilized space that is currently in place. Students were encouraged to use this proposal as an opportunity along with new programmatic elements to create an environment best suited for not only design students but its faculty and staff members and occasional visitors as well. The main objective was to apply social elements to reinvent the HCOA’s definition of Studio Culture.

Public Markets are a crucial aspect of City Planning and Urban Design. It encourages locality and accentuates community. After extensive research of international Public Markets and site analysis, students were to propose their market in the city where they currently reside, being in Seville, Spain. The newfound culture, unit differences, and climate conditions were all new elements to consider when designing this proposal all while curating a studio abroad.
