How to densify downtown Lubbock TX?
TALL BUILDINGS
Lubbock suffered one of the deadliest tornadoes in the 1970s causing destruction on the central part district. With these objectives in mind, we embrace this tragic event into a design intent to rehabilitate downtown Lubbock by the concept idea of “ventifact” : a stone shaped by the erosive action of windblown sand”.The final occupation space produces ecological and design strategies complying solar orientation, wind direction, temperature, and thermal comforts requirements. The “mixed -used” project carry-on multiple performance methods such as construction and structural systems, energy analysis, and materiality upon the creation of a skyscraper building. The initiative plan is to densify downtown district into a concentration of people in denser cities – by sharing space, infrastructure, and facilities all along with sustainable patterns of life to reduce carbon footprint and thus combat climate change. Our tall building derived from a wind-faceted stone that undergo through arid environments consequently matching Lubbok predominant factors of design. Indeed our solution executes a nousihment of comtemporary performative building.

Keywords Densifying Downtown | Healthy Environment | Concept Idea
Location 1309 10th St. Lubbock, TX. Downtown
The idea in this proposal is the establishment of shared tall building contributing to the conceptual preposition of “ AUGMENTED LANDSCAPE” ,as Thom Mayne calls it; in compatibality to promote accomodation to urban planning, neighborhood studies, and programmatic research.

Keywords Segregation | Urban Typologies | Size Assesment
Low-income communities face segregation and unequal access to opportunities in the average life of East Lubbock.
Site sits on a major intersection of MLK JR. Boulevard and 24th street. 24th street easily connects both Chatman Hill neighborhood to Dunbar-Manhattan Height being a major road that crosses the railroad tracks. The site is adjacent to Dunbar Historical Lake that can be activated in the programmatic design. The site has close access to the residential areas of both neighborhoods.
It is a pivotal location inviting segregated areas to cross paths.
Keywords Accesibility | Sustainability | CREA’s Philosophy.
A human centered design solution in attempt to fight favorably to social equity through comprehensive plan. We create a division of programmatic space in which lead us to create relationships of education, athletics, and arts.
FOOT TRAFFIC HAVE ACCESS TO 9 ENTRANCES TO THE SITE
ENTRANCE CIRCULATION FOR VEHICLES TO BUILDING MAIN ENTRANCE
Keywords Walkability | Community Growth | Sense of a Good Place.
We design a visual exploration of architectural opportunities that provided the site into the space project on it. Our main circulation revitalized Redbud Avenue by connecting our project in a center of interest into a path of motion. A greater activity as you enter and disperse all activity through the program building. The emphasis represents our invitation to their land and culture.
THE WIDE ARRAY OF COMMUNITY AMENITIES help designed our approach and contact to the site. The welcoming entrance in the main avenue lets ANYONE ABLE TO COME AND EXPERIENCE the land.
The strategy behind this curtain system, façade and ventilation is to construct a hybrid system to reduce the demand of externalities as well as to have control of interior ambient.
X. A multi-functional space that creates an essence to the users. We separated the building program into the differentiation of activities and program space needs. These are the final results that allow the optimum flexibility. The different colors represent the designated programs and the ideal placement inside the building.

Construction Drawings
Keywords Hybrid System | Envelope Facade | Integrity.
Such a building program with prior characteristics; 80% of the performance rely in appropriate ventilation through the entire day. Thus, we integrate a long horizontal overhang surrounded by our building, provide shade to the corridors that circulate around the building , and designed to conduct appropriate night-flush cooling method.

3.0 Evidence Based Design (EBD) Zoning, including parking requirements. Precedent study. Site and climate analysis.
The overall architectural project have center of interest in realistic propositions in consideration to all ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), TLR ( Texas Licensing and Registration). IBC (international Building Code), TAS (Texas Accessibility Standards) as well as state and federal building codes. With all these facets, the goal was to design a community college on East Lubbock area at the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and 19 th street. Next to the new police department, and adjacent to Dunbar Historical Lake.
Schematics
Our building program consisted of a student center with a receptionist area, commons serving as lobby and a student refreshment center. Classrooms included group study rooms, lecture hall, 6 general classrooms, computer lab, storage room and seminar room. Administrative space such as 6 instructor offices, dean’s office, conference room, and work rom. The rest of the building is formulated by general space such as circulation and mechanical systems. Stair/elevators storages, data and electrical rooms
Systems of structure, enclosure, and circulation organized by hierarchical patterns, articulated by the qualities of shape, color and texture, and determined by the principles of scale, and theories of proportion, aesthetics and compositional arrangement.

Sensitive Densifiction Sao Paulo
The community has created a network of educational spaces to ensure that some parts of the favela do not over densify. Currently, it is at risk of over-densifying from informal building, such that the housing is no longer habitable.
The Heliopolis favela, in São Paulo, Brazil, is located 11 kilometers from the city center along the Tamanduateí industrial corridor. This building project anticipates all discrepancies of the neighborhood through the use of infrastructure and sustainable design features. It is positoned to ensure safety and welfare for residents and commuters.
X. Cohesive planification throghout the block
There is an emphasis on new housing construction in older neighborhoods, The new construction of existing housing stock creates housing and material redundancies that enhance urban resilience through communities. In this case, I provide courtyards and public space to activate the community in a safer and connected place.
The overall result implies a connection of educational, residential, and civic amenities into one single living block in order to establish welfare and safety for the people. Educational amenities run vertically and maximize the potential to prevent dangerous externalities upon families. Residential units are programmed horizontally in which the order are positioned from small studio to large units closer to recreational areas (Studios to multi-familiy units ). Lastly, civic amenities are located mostly in the ground level to operate coherenlty with the neightborhood surroundings.
X. Resilence | Healthy Intervention | Housing
Almost the entire building is attached to each other by the units and create an enclosure of spaces delivering a semi-private block. The housing units are the only space entirely closed with the intention to execute properly natural ventialtion to all commuted and public spaces. Circulation and green areas are protected by a roof that are interconnected to open corridors to keep the air flowing.
