TAHOE EXPEDITION ACADEMY FALL 2022

The Tahoe Expedition Academy (TEA) is trying to change the traditional school system and how we teach children for the future.

The Academy is focus around the values of constructive adversity, community integration and regenerating local traditions and culture, these values are what sets TEA different of the conventional public schools. These values of TEA give the student a mindset to live by once they have graduated. The project we were given was to think of a campus for this new style of school. The Tahoe Expedition Academy is already located on a property in Truckee, California and wants to expand to be able to grow with the increase in atten-

dance. The campus plan of TEA creates an edge within the site through the exiting landscape and topography. The edge creates a transition area where the campus transitions from Truckee to the campus and then to the natural landscape. This is similar to Lake Tahoe and how it transition from the thick forests to the rugged shoreline. This edge creates a balance between civilization and the raw landscape on the campus. The edge become a singular path that that flows with the landscape across the campus connecting all the spaces.

LEARNING SPACES

The learning spaces are located at each end of the pathway. The TEA campus dissolves the preconceive notion of a tradition public school by having 12 individual leaning spaces across the campus and not breaking them down by high school, middle school and elementary school. The learning spaces can be flexible to whatever program the school needs depending on time of year. This also allows it to be used for club or community events after school hours. These spaces are bright and open with aircraft door to allow for natural cooling and allowing nature inside the space. The clerestory highlights the sky and climate of Truckee and not just the forest landscape that surround the site.

MAKER SPACES

The maker space is situated near the existing sports field. The maker spaces are single programs housed within their own boxes, then the boxes were integrated together to promote teamwork and collaboration between the different disciplines. Each maker space has their own large aircraft door to allow easy transportation of project in and pout of the space. Each maker space has a hip style roof with a skylight at the peak to allow nature light with the space and in the interior you can see the large timber structure of the roof to support the snow load.

COMMUNITY AREA

In the middle of the pathway sits the community area which contains cafe/ dining and Learning one. This centralized area near the entrance of the campus allows the community of Truckee and TEA to come together and share a space. The community area is placed within the existing topography of the site and can be interacts by the students all year round. Both the café/ dining area and learning one building share the same tectonic language.  The inside spaces blur to the outside by the sliding door panels & the curtain walls that allows nature inside the space.

CAMELBACK BRANCH LIBRARY

PROFESSOR: TOM HARTMAN

The Camelback branch library is a expansion project of the branch library system that spreads across the city of Phoenix. The site we were given was situated on the southwest corner of central and Camelback road with a Light-Rail station directly south of the site. It was are task to construct a library for are contemporary times. The Camelback library is a library is a desert, but also a library within metropolitan city. The library needs to benefit the surrounding community and make reasons for people to come to the library. The library has a corten steel perforated building skin that wraps around the entire building to offer maximum protection from the harsh desert sun. The interior courtyard of the

building highlight the desert landscape that use to be here before it became a metropolitan city. The desert garden is the space within the courtyard, it wants people to enact with it and enjoy its raw presents. The entry of the courtyard is highlighted by a tunnel that cuts through the libraries geometry keep the existing circulation path that was there before the building was. The west side of the building is the library and the east side is a multi-disciplinary maker spaces. It has a computer lab, lecture hall and multiple classrooms. These are used as classes for the communities or after school programs for the multiple school that surround the site.

ENTRY TUNNEL - FLOOR PLAN

The entry tunnel of library keeps the existing circulation path that people used from getting to the Light-Rail to the corner of the street. The tunnel compression from the sides and top until it opens in the middle of the tunnel to reveal the hidden desert garden in the central courtyard. As you get closer to the middle of the tunnel there are slits in the tunnel to allow more light into it and also start getting tiny glimpse of the desert garden before the full reveal. The construction of the tunnel is out of precast concrete, but the forms were the ribs of the saguaro cactus skeleton. This create a alternating pattern within the tunnel walls and allows the eyes to explore the extreme detail put into the concrete from the saguaro forms.

7TH AVE CANYONS

PROFESSOR: DARREN PETRUCCI

The 7th Ave Canyons was our first architectural design project in the undergraduate program. The design problem for the studio was to design a dense multi-family dwelling on a existing empty lot in the downtown Phoenix area. The empty lots have stood empty for years now and we were tasked to create a valuable design for the site that would enrich the community it was placed. The studio emphasizes personal development of our design process and how to implement from beginning to end. For this project I was given the empty site on Roosevelt Street and & 7th Avenue. The site is situated between a major road way and a historical district. The site analysis

was a very crucial part of the design process learning about the site and the context it sat in. One of the important issue I had to deal was the small bungalow historical district and the large warehouse commercial area. The site sat right in between these two area meeting and had to find a way to transition from one to another. Another issue was the orientation of the site compared to the southern sun. The design need to find a way to combat the intense southern sun of the desert.

THE SCULPTED COLUMN

PROFESSOR: CLAUDIO VEKSTEIN & TA: NENWE GEESO

This project was a semester long exploration into design operation and creating space. At the beginning of the project we were all given a column from an important architecture landmark ranging in all styles and types. The column I received was Oscar Niemeyer from the Three Power Square at Brasilia. The column was more of a monument that relates back to St. Peter’s Square and how significant square always holds pigeons. So his column was designed to bring pigeons to the Three Power Square in Brasilia, Brazil to make this a important and significant square in Brazil.

Next the exploration began in stages 01 and 02, where we were given a list of operation to preform on the column. The list of operations was very similar to the list of “verbs” used be sculpture, Richard Serra. After the many operation to the column, it was unrecognizable and starting to take on it’s own form that was separate to the original intent. In stages 03 and 04, we were asked to create space and an experience in the manipulated column we created. The space could be of any program, but had to fit to a size restriction.

DESIGN FUNDAMENTAL III

SUN CHAMBER

PROFESSOR: TOM HARTMAN & TA: MARCO ROSERO

The design brief for this project to understand the idea of “graft” and “host”. We were given an existing site on the Arizona State Campus and have to integrate a small structure which would encapsulate the program we were given. The program I was given was, “A place to encounter a natural phenomena”. The concept of the small structure was to shift the viewer focus up toward the sun and it’s celestial movements. Today, as humans we have become more detached to the celestial movements of the sun. Most of us know that the sun will rise in the morning and set in in the evening, but nothing more specific about it’s path it takes or the points it rises and sets. The sun

chamber puts these movements of the sun under a magnified glass to be able to feel and see the suns movement at a human scale. The sun chamber focuses the light of the sun and magnifies the movement for easier observation by the viewer. This allows the viewer to be able to easily to interpret the movements. The structure rely on the simple geometry that are ancient ancestors had to rely on to be able to survive. The sun chamber takes these movements of the sun and bring it down to human scale.

SELECTED PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography gives me a way to examine moments that aren’t noticed or given any attention. How the leaves glow and filter the sun light at the bottom of a valley, how materials changes there texture or appearance over time or how a building meets the sky. Photography allows me to capture these sensual moments and helps translate these moments within my architecture.
