INHABITED STRUCTURE:

HYPERBORDERBRIDGE

“Less wall, more bridge”.Through the exploration of an inhabited bridge, this project introduces the relationship between structure and building enclosures. The functionality consists to design through given systematic relationships which relate programmatic shit in sense of reflecting urban boundaries and the international societal inertia.Besides, the development of physical connections with the merge of transportation and defensive strategies of human and ecological conditions. The hyperborder bridge is positioned by organizational systems that resolves the contrasting scales of crossing congested populations, programmatic traffic flow, urban interference, geographic confines and ecological underpinnings. The inception of design is to find relevant marketplace strategy to respond to social and biotic situations.

DUST INSTITUTE: SYNTHETICSKIN

“Blowing dust is one of the more prominent meteorological phenomena in the El Paso area”

– NationalOceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

Dust is everywhere, silently accumulating and shifting through our landscapes, cities and buildings that can even become a nuisance and fatal phenomena. In El Paso area, the effects of dust affect health and air quality during seasonal activity by entering to buildings and houses. These unfortunateresults harm residents with caustic experiences that damaged peoplewith numerous unwanted outcomes from the beginnings of insignificant displeasure to achronic illness.

The idea in process proposes a dust center which main focus is an attached synthetic skin that act as barrier, or filter to manage the variance between an exterior atmosphere condition and the interior environment. The synthetic skin is an architectural solution that engage dust storms, haboobs or dust devils. As anunique regional climatological phenomena and potential of cultural experience, this research into these causes of dust encouraged the development of the Dust Institute for the study of air quality and local dust trauma. This Dust Institute is designed for areas ofstudy, observation and dissemination of knowledge related to the dust effects.

HACKABLE INFRASCTURES:

MIGRATIONTRAJECTORIES

The research among migration patterns of humans, birds and butterflies that inhabitat in the international Chihuahuan Desert engrossed variations of design opportunities. The region has triggered an unpredictable climate migration due to extreme climate fluctuation. As a group, we had explored the engagement of urban and wildlife habitats that provide endless opportunities to enhance environmental development. The results offered the understanding of local ecosystems in which help positioned the effects of urbanism and human activity within thes systems. As our cities become denser, can architectural objects perform functions of infrastructure or flora?

HACKABLE INFRASTRUCTURES / MIGRATION TRAJECTORY

In this case, architecture would behave as a smart unit to served in a hackable infrastructure to ameliorate the built matter of the ambient. The infrastructural node will acclimate the migrating network in respond to the physiology or behavioral change under controlled climatic conditions to facilitate the harmony of the migrating body and existing activity.

BORDER “BUBBLE”: INFRASTRUCTURALSANATORIUM

Under the circumstances of environmental pollution, respiratory diseases, climatic change and climatological patterns, the project consisted to reciprocate these factors with designing an architectural modular unit (BUBBLE) to support human health and provide medical attention. The human body scale BUBBLE will be the result of typological and technological spaces that will synthesized and operate in an isolation from the contaminated environment. Once the successful modular unit is created beneath the control of a microclimatic spaces, the connectivity of interior, exterior, and mechanical elements will be engaged in a multiple units’ arrangement representing a medical facility.

Based in the climatic site analysis and projective analysis, the final structure will provide a disposition of communal spaces, mechanical systems,structure enclosure and environmental strategies to perform successful well-connected hybridization system. Geothermal energy becomes the main execution climatic system maintaining a vernacular and sustainable design to gain resilient resolution upon the site.

Advancing through cmtemporary design, the challenge to develop technical and digital skills by crafting with digital design sofware have compromise the competence to improve efficiency and precision in architectural design. The task to producetwo- and- three dimensional drawings which exhibit a digital representationentails a “real world output” with the navigation system of parametric design. Theproject consisted in three steps, initialized with a digital model ofa three-dimensionaltruss including plans,sections and axonometrics. The second phase lead to constructing a digital model of a surface by designing and controlling progressive sectional curves to accomodate twoor more forms of seating for a public space ( sitting, reading, working, observing ) Final phase represented the final parametric bridge of developing modeling and surfacing strategized in which merges structure and surface.

BUILDING INFORMATION: TECHNOLOGY

The ability to model spatial and tectonic conditions digitally supports the process of preparing construction documents. Utilizing BUilding Modeling (BIM) facilitate design skills, methods and strategies to develop series of technical drawings. The objective was to scrutinize the complex method of manipulating surfaces, coordinate points, curves and lines through parametric modeling. Additionally, placing (REVIT) software as the main resource was a challenge by implementing environmental analysis which enhance critical design decisions and the proficiency to understand construction materials.
