Peak-A-Boo is a semi-permanent installation located in Bethel, New York, at the site of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Festival.

The design process for Peak-A-Boo began off-site at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, where a series of hand-crafted models using scaled materials were created. These models were then synthesized into a parametric script that allowed for rapid ideation, iteration, and analysis. The final design consists of a series of elastically deformed arches clad in plywood sheathing, creating a pixelated structure that is contemporary in design but intended to blend seamlessly into the landscape.

The structure’s versatility and adaptability to diverse conditions is a key element of its purpose. The arches create a shell for performers to play within, the deck as a place of respite for

HOUSE + OBSERVATORY

Course Arch Design & Research II, Fall 2022 Instructor Darwin Harrison

House + OBSERVATORY was a continuation of House + ADU. The project responds to the contrast between site conditions and zoning in Austin compared to Anton, Texas.

Unlike Austin, Anton had fewer restrictions and a flat site which impacts the design significantly. The design took aspects from the House + ADU project such as selected programs oriented in the east and south and was manipulated to fit the location as well as a smaller program. In this project, everyone was allowed to change the ADU into a small building that fit the context of their specific site, since ADUs were not very common in west Texas.

This project is still a study of reality, affordability and accessibility. With the inclusion of a material study. Materials for this project were selected based on the context around the site

This project challenged us to design a high-performance magnet high school in Lubbock. Lubbock is a hot dry climate with 300 days of sun a year and our site is in the northeastern part of the city. This area is a low-income area with the highest crime rate, highest unemployment rate and lowest test scores in Lubbock.

Our goal with this school is to help enhance this community by bringing attention to this area in a positive way. Through our school we plan to create jobs through both staffing and a trade program held through the school. It is our hope that this involvement of the community with the school will give the population something to be proud of and strive to maintain.

Our intent was to teach both the students and community about sustainability through the design of our exposed high-performance aspects as well as our modular classroom design tailored to improve teaching and student collaboration. As well as to have this school become a beacon of sustainability for not just the northeastern community but for Lubbock as a whole.

DALLAS FIRE STATION 23

Course UTA Design Studio II, Fall 2019 Instructor Dustin Wheat

This project was a proposal to redesign an existing Dallas fire station. This proposal aims to not only provide a safe and comfortable environment for its inhabitants but also responds to the existing conditions and a smooth transition from public to private.

The existing Fire Station 23 site sits on a sloped plot of land. By using the landscape to create a sense of privacy the existing slope was raised to the height of the building and flows onto the roof, creating a green roof. The green roof could be used as training or a place for tranquility, it then transitions into a dynamic roof and can be seen from a distance, symbolizing a beacon for the community.

Design decisions were considered based on an understanding of how a plan should be organized in a fire station through precedent studies. The inspiration of the symbolic butterfly roof came to be through experimenting with different ways paper could be folded and studies of the light and shadows created.
