ARCH 406
An investigation into the means and methods of immersive wayfinding, tools that are created through environmental elements rather than maps and signage and creating a design of a botanical garden in Durham, North Carolina to best display the methods discovered. Through scientific papers and case studies on buildings that employ successful wayfinding systems, we have discovered some common wayfinding principles that are used to assist users to find their way around effectively throughout interior and exterior spaces.
In theory, these methods of wayfinding can be used at other locations across the United States with similar climate to create botanical gardens and community centers. Examples of locations with indistinguishable weather conditions include Branson, Maryland, Lousiville, Kentucky, and Kansas City, Missouri. The resultant research of this team won the Undergraduate Research Track of the Creativity and Cognition 2023 Conference and published into the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) digital library.

UPLIFT: Traditions of Tommorrow
As Texas A&M University’s campus grows each year, its on-campus buildings require expansion to support all seventy thousand students. The first step towards a new future is creating a new
Visitor’s Center for all people wanting to know more about this public institution.
This roughly twenty-seven thousand square foot attraction hub is the ultimate representation of Texas A&M values. With a visitor’s lounge, auditorium, multipurpose space, Visitor Center office, Prospective Student Center, and Rooftop Garden, the owner of this establishment is committed to creating a dynamic immersive experience, gaining applicants to the Aggie family, and being the front door to campus.
The existing site creates the opportunity to increase accessibility for personnel vehicles and traffic while using natural elements to improve IEQ and thermal comfort. As a team, our main goal is to create a Visitor’s Center that represents what it means to be an Aggie to specifically exemplify selfless service, respect, leadership, and excellence through the building. This goal can be accomplished by adhering to the Architecture 2030 challenge, creating positive social impacts through thoughtful spatial relationships, and expanding the script for campus architecture.

“New Middles”:
Affordable Housing Proposal
Garrett Redditt
James Micheal Tate Partners Professor
ARCH 206
The New Middles Final Proposal is a creative collaboration of House L&D by Thierry Lagrange of ALT architectuur, Broadway Housing by Kevin Daly Architects, and my own design. The main goals of this proposal was to create an emphasis on roof alignment, exterior detailing, and the relationship between social and residential spaces. Separation of these two types of spaces occur in each unit’s planar arrangement inspired by the Palladian sequence.
This proposal features a twelve-unit complex that elaborates on the comparison of single family dwelling and multi-family housing. The combination of living environments creates a unique atmosphere that allows the tenants living from unit to unit to enjoy their new home.

The “Diamond” House
After an in-depth study of Adolf Loos’ “Raumplan” and John Hedjuk’s “9 Square Grid”, I created a conceptual design that combines both famous methods of architectural organization. The “Diamond” House is a theoretical multistory residence that contains multiple bedrooms, a basement, entertainment center, and a rooftop pool.
By using fifteen by fifteen foot grids, I was able to create planar organization with an overal floor plan rotated ninety degrees. These unorthodox room arrangements and mezzanine levels created by the Raumplan allows me to deviate from the main atrium. The interstitual spaces of The “Diamond” House allow for a more complex progression through the residence.

Spring 2020 ENDS 108
Our group did a month long precedent study on John Hedjuk’s “Texas House 7”. This building is famous for its “9 Square Grid” planar arrangement. We took the original plans of the residence, and replicated them to further understand this architectural concept of fifteen by fifteen feet grids.
To conclude this study, our team made a scaled model of Texas House & out of acryllic and chipboard. The acryllic was etched with a laser cutter in order to show the elevation of each side of the building. This also helps to emphasize the outline of the “9 Square Grid”.

Zen Garden Aviation and Simulation Center

Our prompt was to create an interactive Aviation and Flying Simulation Center in Atlanta, Texas, by commemorating the first African-American woman pilot, Betsie Coleman to encourage aviation education. The concept of a Zen Garden airport is to create a peaceful atmosphere in contrast to the typical airport, so travelers can focus on learning more about aviation through the several interactive exhibits located at this site.
For our initial site design we decided to pull from our zen garden reference to create an actively curated topographical environment, creating mounds through the manipulation of the ground condition. Using sand rakings to create a fluid edge condition that connects the site directly to the road and creates a perimeter for our abstracted natural environment.
