INTRODUCTION
Architectural Design at the Guthrie Center allows students to explore the many opportunities that are available in the field of architecture. The Guthrie Center offers three levels of architectural design available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The Architectural Design faculty believe critical thinking, creativity, and problemsolving spark further learning. Students are introduced to architectural history and become proficient in architectural sketching, perspectives, and technical drawing. Students will learn industry-standard programs that are used by the architectural profession; AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp Pro, TwinMotion, Lumion, and Photoshop. Students are educated in the process of architectural design through projects, the annual scholarship design competition sponsored by the Houston Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and the Texas Society of Architects Design Competition.
We are privileged to have participated in this competition in the past 20+ years. Students have been asked to design a museum, community center, and soccer stadium to name only a few of the projects. Students can network with practicing architects and professors of architecture. Our students have achieved great success in this competition winning scholarship monies and scholarships to the summer architectural program offered at the University of Houston. Architectural students at the Guthrie Center have won over 100+ awards and have used the competition as a catapult for acceptance to architectural schools around the world. When completing the courses in architectural design, students will have a strong portfolio that is used for admission to competitive architecture schools. Our students have been accepted to architectural schools at Cornell, Rice, UT Austin, Pratt in NYC, Kansas State and Auburn which have been ranked in the top 10 architectural schools in the nation by Design Intelligence in the past 5 years. Our students have also been accepted to architectural schools at Notre Dame, Texas A&M, University of Houston, Texas Tech, Tulane, Illinois Institure of Technology, and Oklahoma. We also have had students studying architecture in France, Mexico, and Japan.**

“THE INITIAL SKETCH IS ALWAYS AN EMOTION, NOT A CONCEPT.”
SKETCHING
“SKETCHING AND ARCHITECTURE GO HAND AND HAND. IT IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AND SOMETHING EVERY DESIGNER SHOULD DO. LIKE MANY PROFESSIONS, YOU DO NOTJUMP INTO A PROJECT WITHOUT ANY PLANNING OR THOUGHT. YOU HAVE TO THINK THROUGH IT FIRST. THINKING IS DIRECTLY CORRELATED TO DRAWING. THINKING CAN BEGIN WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A SIMPLE SKETCH THAT LATER IS DEVELOPED INTO SOMETHING MORE.”

Birds-eye View Birds-eye View Southeast Exterior View Looking at the site at hand thought deliberately about how to approach this project. The Clover Center prominent place for all families looking for happy, good fortune place to stay during any hours of the day. Finding that the population is mainly Hispanic and the age gap consists of more younger families rather than older families. wanted to bring comforting place where anyone of any ethnicity and age comes together and has place of community. The LED lights that surround the walls help bring the place to life even at the dark times of the night. used primary colors that attract younger people to help bring in more foot tra c. Blue, Pink, Purple, Yellow, and Green all attract your eyes to wherever these colors are used. While looking around the area the closest public park is Magnolia Park Soccer Fields; this consists of soccer elds, baseball elds, tennis courts, a pool, and playground. Although it seems that this is perfect for the community it 2.5 miles away and not that many people that live in the area drive a car so is harder for people to access the wonderful parks. wouldn’t want kids running 2.5 miles to have fun so used the space in my site plan to add great areas that a park has. have four pickleball courts that are great for families to play on any time of day, basketball courts one that is indoor and one that is outdoor, a weight room with multiple free weights and a cardio station, game room, and a state-of-the-art library that has 3D wall that is used as seat. With an elementary and a middle school being less than mile away, the kids can walk to The Clover Center to catch break after school or play with their friends. Walking through the space the human tra is great with people from all around Houston wanting to stop by to see one of the best pieces of architecture in the area. As the Magnolia Park Area starts to pick up, multiple entertainment areas are starting to be built such as the Gus Wortham Golf Course as well as the new Par 3 golf course East River 9. East River 9 is nighttime golf course that is bringing in people during the night which is why decided to attract that certain group of people. The Nightlife in the area is more than you would expect with multiple people out and about. The Clover center gives people a place to go to and stay out of trouble that connected to life after dark. With the crime rate mostly assaults with weapons, my youth center helps kids grow up while staying out of trouble. When people search for comfort they usually look for bright colors, lots of natural light, and sources of entertainment. Every single thought put into my building wanted to make sure it welcomed all families and not only did they enjoy the space, but they felt comforted in the space. With the growing population in the area, made the building large enough to hold big speeches in the auditorium multiple times year. want to help the community turn around and not be an outsider of Houston but known area around the nation. want it to be known as place that develops kids into adults and brings communities together. The city hall was preserved and not messed with, because is staple in the community that they use all the time. believe that the area needs modern change but needs to be kept with artifacts that show its history. With everything implemented into my building, created state-of-the-art building to bring community together and that gives kids an opportunity to be raised well with the classes and programs provided. know buildings like this will attract people from all around Houston to come to have a fun time playing pickleball, and basketball, or come learn.

MAGNOLIA PARK YOUTH CENTER 7301 Avenue F, Houston, TX 77011 When designing the new youth center for Magnolia Park, was inspired by the works of Federico Posada, who designed the Wellington Child and Family Center. Th building’s welcoming nature and sleek design lead me to my central concept the new Youth Center. An important aspect want my design capture landmark for young children and building easily recognizable as beacon for learning, recreation, and friendships. Both entrances of my building are inviting, with plants such magnolia owers surrounding the exterior of the building. Th main building glass, making the center seem more welcoming, especially to young children. Th unique taper of the main roof inspired by the interior wood carvings in the Wellington Child and Family Center. found this shape an elegant way of adding dimension to the overall design. Although this building is new and modern, it’s essential to ensure this design blends in with the surrounding community. Magnolia Park an older community where most establishments are the original buildings. Th houses are put on small plots of land and tend be one story. Designing my building too modern or adding out-of-the-ordinary characteristics would make my building stand out. My simple yet effective design perfectly ts the neighborhood’s architecture. A small detail noticed was the pops of color some buildings had in the area. made sure to include this detail when choosing the material for the columns on my building. Th faculty the Youth Center, such as the cafe workers and teachers, are working an open environment, unlike other older facilities. Th cafe workers can connect with their customers more, and the teachers can efficiently conduct activities. Th open concept helps the faculty interact with the community. Outside the entrance, the community garden an excellent way for students learn about agriculture and converse with their peers. Th two entries from the east and west sides allow for access by students walking from Franklin Elementary, De Zavala Elementary, Edison Middle, and more. When entering the main building, there plenty of seating students need to study or grab bite to eat. Additionally, the classrooms, library, computer lab, gymnasium, etc., are easy to nd and enjoyable to work in. Because of the spacious design, the people don’t feel clustered when working. To better the environment, implemented sustainable strategies for this Youth Center. Since the main building made entirely of glass, the sun can quickly warm the space. Th why plan to add heat control window lm to lower temperatures in the room and use less power for AC. Another strategy this design will implement is thick walls. Thick walls absorb heat slowly during the day and release during cool nights. This insulates the interior environment against the extreme outside temperature swings. Since Houston gets lot of sun, plan to add solar panels to the roofs the secondary buildings so the Youth Center can run mostly on renewable energy.

As the project was motion, many things could not be done, for one reason or another. Like being super detailed about the choices wanted make. The rst oor was sectioned, in the back is an environment for the workers, the actual shopping, and at the front the check-out space. This separated the workers from the rest the public, well as kept everything together. Workers would not have go from one wall to the other to reach the storage room, as well as having the manager room and the breakroom separated, gives the workers privacy. also kept the public one big area. Under would be the lecture hall. Open the public. For the second oor, needed to have lot open space. Vendors would have the opportunity lure in customers from the previous oors since they would be set up on three walls. That area would also be free space for the public, half would have the free space look outside, and even look the oor under. This oor, from the outside, highlighted block white concrete, making the curiosity the customers bigger. Since this oor also smaller than the top and bottom, adds unique shape to the overall building from the outside. The top oor cantilevered protect the middle oor from any direct sunlight well. For the top oor, the oor with the most ces, came little more thinking into. You can only access the of oor from the rst- oor elevator from the outside.

Montrose is very diverse part of town, young community with many college students and many members the LGBTQ. was once known for being the heart of the gay community as well.

Things like enough room walk, seeing my favorite snacks, seeing other ople, organized shelves. These people, things were small part of what made shopping enjoyable, what made me want to go grocery shopping on weekend. The next thing that came mind one’ thinking ideas that did not one’s like. For example, far away bathrooms, boring walls, same basic patterns each shopping stor went Most importantly, store the presence of the outside all shopping stores.

WAUGHCREST LOVETT Axonometric View Axonometric View Section View Site Plan Axonometric View Elevation View My 2022 MGMC project was inspired by the architect Zaha Hadid and her ability to take irregular shapes and use them on her buildings. Her unique designs caught my eye especially one of her pieces, the Beijing international exhibition center. The way she was able to use curved “wishbone” shaped roof and make connect the buildings was amazing and was what drove my inspiration. Although wasn’t able create the openings in the roof that reveal the public area, still tried get that wavy roof ow going. wanted to create the center space between both buildings because helps bring more public tra for more reasons than just shopping for food and going work; people can come and enjoy the nature and have good walk and soak in the energy. This modernized building was done on purpose because the up rise new modern buildings along Westheimer and Montrose (the main streets intersecting my space. wanted to make sure to cater to all the erent types cultures and groups of people in the area. could tell that the Montrose area is full color and light made sure to bring that into my building by using more open concept and creating more colors to help make the place pop. also found that the Montrose Westheimer area very young and close so wanted to make the ce spaces open and no matter where you went you could see someone, that why used the glass doors. In the market area wanted to create space where anyone could come and feel fresh. really used the lighting and the bright colors to really get the feeling of being healthy and clean so that feels cleansing to the body, mind, and soul you walk through. put the small market on the rst oor so that you could enjoy some family time and have easy access to the outside area and also easy access the shopping upstairs. wanted to have the mini market on the bottom also have easy access to food and resources that they could grab from the top oor and not have order separately makes very convenient. The way used the space and connected both my buildings and still within the building guidelines was to create 2-story building on both sides and also connect the roof even over the natural space in the middle the buildings. wanted to really incorporate nature and the beauty of into my buildings and all over and using this open concept was the best way to create that feeling. My building something you don’t see every day which was done on purpose. My building not just market or an building, it staple building in the greater Houston area. People from out of town will know about this place and want experience on their own. My building’s roof and its curvature and unique shape what really draws the attention of people and creates scene like no other. truly believe that my building is and will be major tourist attraction whether for work, food, just have great family time the market.

We also liked how modern looks and brings natural sunlight inside. Sometimes people have bad times and need place relax. Another inspiration making our structure modern was that the world changing and modernizing every building, especially urban areas. We thought was wise change the architecture Houston more modern environment keep with the world. have two purposes for our plaza. The first purpose of our plaza was make people have place where they could be themselves and have place somewhere where no one could criticize them for who they are. Our last reason was give everyone beautiful view area from above. place where everyone can come and have relaxing time. We added grass, trees, and floodlights with the intent courtyard having natural look that would make everyone feel they were comfortable place. Our office has same purpose, for our office, chose the idea making the whole building glass because would have more natural light from sun, and the users would feel more relaxed, same thing for the balcony that gives employees chill area that they can hang around during their break.

Th energy produced from the Photovoltaic panels generates enough electricity run and maintain the MPYC ZOCALO Due Houston’s intense rain and Hurricane seasons, ood control was constructed into the design of the center. While the fountains and angled pathways regulate the direction of water, the tiled courtyard absorbs As global warming exacerbates, the need for natural cooling everyday environments rises. To reduce the total consumption energy and pollution, the center’s facade regulates and cycles cool air in geometric facade. While was important ensure that resources were readily and easily accessible the surrounding community, addressing the gentrification that constructing new youth center would enable became priority to mitigate as an aspiring architect. Ensuring the surrounding residential community would not negatively impacted by rise in property taxes and pollution, the MPYC ZOCALO was constructed using reusable materials and unique facade that directly created economic channels for citizens and markets to establish.

Th brought music and dance troupes from Mexico the city auditorium. Many the dances and dinners organized by the club were to raise money for the poor, especially new immigrants. Th club also organized athletic activities for local youth, including basketball, and boxing. My goal in the design the MPYC ZOCALO was carry the torch set forth by past generations and cultural organizations.

There is an incredible yet di erent view from all sides, either out in the open or inside. want to give people sense of responsibility and freedom to interact with others at their preferred comfort level. The individual sellers and vendors of the market make up the community support. These individual sellers experience an opportunity to er personal interaction with their customers. By allowing the customers to purchase the products from the business directly, the customers can have a memorable, helpful, and positive experience of that business and market. They experience genuine and honest reaction in front their customers and gain loyal customers. My development caters to their needs because people can gather from di erent angles around their food stall or designated area. For example, the produce food stalls let customers see everything the seller has to er. The shop has the facility to give accessible entrance and exit, which creates ow. Instead of experiencing di culty trying to access the shop, people are motivated to enter because they can see everything from distance and comfortably walk across. The community consists of families and young unmarried adults in the area. The patrons are the local businesses. These people have access and orientation on where to go upon arriving. There is a wide array of shops to engage with, so the customers are not limited to one choice. The community can form personalized connections with the artisans and ask more questions about the appealing product. When the people are outdoors, they have panoramic view, the freedom to stretch their arms, and breathe the fresh air. The Houston Montrose neighborhood known for its vibrant, colorful, and artistic designs. Therefore, made the wall that faces toward Montrose Street to consist of what would be commissioned beautiful ower mural. LA FLOR WEMO MARKET UGHCRES LOVETT SCALE: C A MAIN ANCHOR SUPPORT ANCHOR C PUBLIC PLAZA The words ”WEMO” are red, yellow, green, and blue which symbolizes the bright nature of the infrastructure and neighborhood. Additionally, the location faces Montrose, which allows more people to see the buildineither as they are walking or driving by. My structure unique because the bridge connecting the food market and the co-op ce allows one to access all areas and see Montrose’s new view easily. Moreover, vines and owers cover the wall, making photogenic place for people to take pictures the background. There is roof garden for people to on the grass, take pictures at the center with the view of Montrose and the owers, and the sun owers admire. The users will excited to spend time in my building because there can be erent levels interaction where can be more quiet and formal more relaxed setting. want to plant trees, owers, and grasses native to the site to reduce the need to irrigate and use fewer fertilizers that can run in the several rainstorms Houston. Moreover, my development mainly made out of glass maximize natural lighting intake. My proposed multi-use development will bene the area by ering protected areas, yet the people can experience the best of Houston’s weather desired. Flor WeMo Market location for connections form among coworkers, customers and local businesses, families, and friends. Everyone can get know each other to eliminate the isolation within the community. Although the people may be running errands or working, they can enjoy their surroundings.

SPACE PLANNING Verde MARKETPLACE N PARTI MODEL SECTION VIEW WE T A N V EW OR H A N V EW A T A N V EW L V L L V L LE E G EE S AC EW ENVIORNMENTAL BENEFITS Verde Marketplace is a multi-use food-based development, was created with the intent to enhance the experience of Houstonians’ healthy lifestyles. The name Verde, which means green in multiple languages, has connotation of fresh, new, and healthy which is exactly what this development embodies. Verde features food market, greenspace, farmers market, restaurant, office space, small auditorium, pharmacy, nutritional education center, dog park, food truck circle, and internet-accessible outdoor study space. Based on my research, Montrose residents and visitors are primarily young, many of whom like to eat clean and engage in environmentally conscious activities. Verde was designed to attract diverse group of people, including health enthusiasts, dog owners, frequent diners, and supporters of locally-owned businesses. strategically placed the structure in an L-shape on the southwest portion of the site so that could get the most traffic which faces both Westheimer and Montrose, the most popular streets on the site that stretch citywide. Due to sun patterns in Texas, avoided excessive south facing windows. Verde Marketplace is built with environmental care, such as using solar panels on the roof as an energy source, being built with sustainable building materials, and an exceptional drainage system. With Houston's flooding tendencies in mind, used Turfstone pavers to allow for drainage flow through grass, as well as the dog park being multi-purposed as drainage area for the entire marketplace, including a pond for not only dogs to play, but to store rainwater so that the center avoids flooding. Coincidentally, the same day that attended the MGMC workshop, broke my leg and was not able to walk on my own for an extended period of time. experienced first-hand that lot of places are not accessible for folks that are physically challenged. My injury experience made me think about spatial relations, safety, and population flow from a different perspective. With that in mind, the entire building wheelchair accessible and it was created with handicap customers in mind. Examples include a private back entrance close to an elevator and ramps throughout the auditorium in addition to stairs. As Houston becomes more densely populated, the access to raw and natural foods slim as well as the need for access to nutrition education rises. Verde serves as solution to many issues on local and global scale as well as providing ample business opportunities. Verde Marketplace well fitting and welcoming space to appeal to all of Houston and bring together us as community with the goal in mind to better our lifestyles.

This shelter shows many designs and ways to maintain sustainability. Starting with the roof, the incline of the roof allows water to run down to the slit toward the back end. Beneath the slit, is a plastic container that the water will flow into. This water can be multi-used. Water for showering, drinking or anything else. Next is the skylights, which is what I will be using instead of using electricity throughout the shelter. This costs less money overall, and provides more natural light. Natural light was a big key point I focused on while designing this. While coming up with my sketches, I asked someone know, who is currently homeless, a key thing they believed they needed. Their response was that they craved windows and natural lighting, as this type of light actually boosts spirits, and help depression with it’s warmth. Along with the skylights, the windows are another way to maintain a cool home without using electricity. With the placements of each window, air can flow through easily throughout the shelter. Overall, my shelter does not have a specific place it is meant for. With places, such as Texas and California, with high populations of homeless people, I believe it would best be fitted in those states.

I designed the Women’s Revival Center, a shelter for women escaping abuse. I chose creating a women’s shelter because I feel passionate about this ongoing crisis that, unfortunately, will not be ending anytime soon. The Women’s Revival Center will house women whose homes are too dangerous for them.This project will provide security, wellness, a comfortable home, and tools for women to allow them to function independently.

GUTHRIE CENTER, SBISD
I AM BOTH HONORED AND EXCITED TO BE HERE AT THE GUTHRIE CENTER, NOT ONLY AS AN INSTRUCTOR BUT ALSO AS A FORMER SBISD GRADUATE. I AM ALSO HONORED TO HAVE GRADUATED MAGNA CUM LAUDE WITH AN ARCHITECTURAL DEGREE FROM UH COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, ALONG WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN, AND A MATH MINOR. I PROFESSIONALLY WORKED IN ARCHITECTURE FOR ABOUT 12 YEARS BEFORE PRIMARILY TEACHING. BEING BORN OVERSEAS AS WELL AS TRAVELING AND STUDYING ABROAD (CENTRE D’ETUDE D’ ARCHITECTURE IN SAINTES, FRANCE) SPARKED AN APPRECIATION FOR THE VARIOUS TECHNIQUES AND ELEMENTS OTHER CULTURES AND COUNTRIES INCORPORATE INTO THEIR DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE. AS STUDENTS PREPARE FOR EITHER A PROFESSIONAL DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE, A RELATED 4 YEAR DEGREE, A TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION, SERVICE, AND/OR THE WORKFORCE, I AM HONORED TO HELP THEM GROW AND MATURE AS YOUNG ADULTS. BY EXPLORING THE VARIOUS AVENUES OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN, I HOPE TO INSPIRE STUDENTS TO AWAKEN TO THE THOUGHTFUL CREATIVITY THAT COMES FROM CRITICAL THINKING AND RESOURCEFULNESS IN DEVELOPING THEIR APPROACH TO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.
I AM VERY EXCITED AND PRIVILEGED TO BE TEACHING AT THE GUTHRIE CENTER SBISD. MY GOAL IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO ENTER ARCHITECTURE, INTERIOR DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SCHOOLS. I HAVE TEN YEARS OF ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCE AS A PROJECT COORDINATOR WITH KIRKSEY ARCHITECTURE. I HAVE WORKED ON ACADEMIC BUILDINGS, RESIDENCE HALLS, AND DINING HALLS FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS, TEXAS WOMAN’S UNIVERSITY, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, AND LEE COLLEGE, TO NAME A FEW. I RECEIVED MY BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON. WHILE ATTENDING UH, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY ABROAD AT THE CENTRE D’ETUDE D’ ARCHITECTURE IN SAINTES, FRANCE, AND WORK AT THE OFFICES OF OSCAR TUSQUETS IN BARCELONA, SPAIN.
