DALLAS ART’S DISTRIC TOWER 16
Lake House The objective for the assignment was to define entry, circulation, and connectivity between spaces. It was to investigate the relationship of built structure to landscape and site conditions. The program called for a residence owned by landscape architects combining live, work, and play. The site is located on a sloped slot in a suburban lakeside community. The design approach was to clearly define public vs. private. The site was divided using the landscape and framing views for each different space and hierarchy was place on the landscape.

Lake House The architects office took advatange of the sloped site condition to discretely hide from view. The office also had it’s own private outdoor area to utilize for business purposes. It also had its own private garden in the entrance. Framed views throughtout the office as well as the lakeside. The hierarchy is placed on the landscape and the ability to introduce structure within. For the interior, double volume space was designed for the entrance.

ur ban Lof t This loft was designed as a single family home. It housed a young family with two kids. Its hierarchy was placed on the double volume space to enhance lighting as well as spatial qualities in the home. The assignment called for spatial qualities as well as interior design qualities. Designer furniture was included in the design.

M ulti-nodal Fabr ic Branching Research Based Project Fabric branching is based on enhancing current building technologies to achieve an economically feasible, structurally sound alternative to the current traditional post and beam structure system. Derived from the work of Gaudi and further development with Frei Otto seeks to find a method which would distrubute loads in a more efficient manner as well as optmize material usage while maintaining a minimal section modulus-to-height ratio.

Multi-trajectory formwork
M ulti-Nodal Fabr ic Branching Evolution of multi-trajectory branching
The project expands on the work of Mark West using fabric formwork to generate a multinodal pre-cast concrete structure. The project refines using fabric formwork in a multitrajectory form. Series of test were created using hydrostone to test fabric behavior and creating a multi-plane branching system. The multi-plane branching system generated different obstacles on how to resolve pinching since it compromises its structural rigidity. Single plane branch

Dallas Ar t Distr ic I nter vention The Dallas Art’s District Tower is a fifty- story tower designed to contain voids throughout the structure. The main purpose was to be integrated into the Dallas Art’s Distric building a relationship with its surrounding urban fabric. The exercise consisted of using massing models as an approach to design. It was a study of different curtain systems and abstract geometries. Software: Revit, Photoshop
