THE GALVESTON INTERNATIONAL JUNETEENTH MUSEUM INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM GALVESTON, TX
FEATURED IN THE NIA CULTURAL CENTER JUNETEENTH EXHIBIT IN GALVESTON, TX FEATURED IN THE “NEW WORLD BUILDING” EXHIBIT AT PRAIRIE VIEW A&M UNIVERSITY
REUNION: The act or process of being brought together again or the instance of two or more people together again. The museum consists of 3 floors; the ground level is primarily used for parking; this level also elevates the building to adhere to the 500-year floodplain regulations. Multiple structural walls, each uniquely shaped, will define the interior spaces and represent Juneteenth’s “Reunion” aspect. Strong curvature and parametric elements convey the visual of “uniting” in plan, elevation, and throughout the interior. Overall, enhancing the full cultural experience in the museum.
Juneteenth was recently deemed an official government holiday. It was created to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved individuals in the United States. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was passed on January 1, 1863, by Abraham Lincoln, enslaved people were only notified two years later, on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, TX. Juneteenth is a catalyst for so many integral entities in the black community today, Prairie View A&M being one of them. Being a student at an HBCU, paired with the experience I had during my visits to Galveston and the information I have learned from my mother and family, I am aware of the great depths this day has in our community. I will convey the themes of perseverance, strength, resilience, survival, and liberation. These themes indeed emphasize Juneteenth’s purpose as an essential holiday worth celebrating.

TANGO TOWER HIGH-RISE DEVELOPMENT MEMORIAL CITY, HOUSTON, TX
Our highrise design, located in the Houston, TX Memorial City Center complex, is built to connect corporate spaces to nature and connect the occupants. Using health and wellness to drive our building’s further purpose, we concentrated on promoting a healthy work-life balance. Our 62-story building stands 870’ tall and includes commercial and office spaces with varying occupancy standards. We also included health-oriented areas such as flex working floors and a wellness center for the occupants. We created two coves flowing up the building, pulling in the natural environment and creating conversation spaces from floor to floor.

BUCKMAN ARC APARTMENTS MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PORTLAND, OR
This mixed-use affordable housing project is located in Portland, Oregon. The clientele of this development are small business owners deemed low-income. It has five different typologies of housing units, twelve units in total. Providing options for varying family sizes, in turn promoting a diverse and sustainable community. The courtyard is the heart of the design. It offers social interaction and natural surveillance; each unit owner has a retail space to support home-based enterprises. Six retail units are directly connected to a housing unit, allowing tenants to have the flexibility of working from home while also minimizing their transportation time and cost. The retail strip caters to the community and contributes to the local economy as the site sits next to a busy bus stop.
