STEPHEN BARKSDALE ABOUT
ME
I am currently working towards my Bachelor’s Degree at Louisiana Tech University. I am looking for experience in the architectural field which will propel my design process forward. I have a passion to create and am interested in conceptual design. I take great joy in solving difficult design issues. An optimistic outlook helps me to work efficiently, create and keep relationships in the work place, and keeps me looking forward throughout the design process.

THE BERKELEY RESEARCH CENTER
THE BERKELEY PIT RESEARCH CENTER
Louisiana Tech University
Designed around the idea of a cental hub with 5 separated wings per floor, this research center located at the Berkeley Pit in Montana, contains a nuclear reactor and is housed over a nuclear weapons silo. Each floor’s circulation feels like a maze which brings about confusion and claustrophobia. The reason for this is because this building was implimented into a video game which was this quarters project. A lot of the research that went into this building revolved around the use of parametrics and Grasshopper which was used to aggregate the building’s 22 distinct room types together. As well as how space can bring about emotions other than comfort and ease.

THE DETROIT MAKERS SPACE
Louisiana Tech University
ARCH 315
A community innovation center which builds upon concepts used by deconstructivist architects such as Daniel Liebeskin, Coop Himmelblau, and Claude Parent to inspire creativity in the artists who create within. The building pushes for collaboration through the use of interior lifts which link working spaces, dedicated collaborative galleries, and studios. This allows the makers to create networking connections not only in their respective fields of art, and to mesh creative ideas to allow the artists to create something they can be truly proud of.

THE CAVERN
Louisiana Tech University ARCH 225
A bar and grill sited in Shreveport, Louisiana created to revitalize the Theatre District of the city. Modeled off of a geode, the complex interior view up towards the sky draws customers into the second and third floor restaurant and bar respectively.

THE CAVERN 25
In the first project of second year architecture resides thinkers who defy the norm. Agnes Denes and Marina Debris, artists with opposite art styles meet and collaborate in this place of unprecedented creativity. This thought of opposites converging can be seen on all sides of the building through the interruption of several tiers of patterns. The artists gain inspiration for the work through the complex contours of a building as aberrated as they are.

INVISIBLE CITIES
Louisiana Tech University ARCH 125
This project was to design an observation tower for one of Marco Polo’s invisible cities. I chose Baucis, a city on stilts, whose inhabitants refuse to touch the ground out of respect for the planet they live on. When designing my tower I asked myself why would they build up from a city already in the sky? Instead I built down so that they might be able to study the planet more closely to expand their already large respect for Earth.

BBQ PAVILLION
Louisiana Tech University
ARCH 135
A pavilion placed in a park for the public to enjoy the scenery. Placed in the pavilion is a barbeque pit for those who inhabit to utilize. With this project I began to look more into vernaculars of the south to create a space that was inviting and still functional. Jointery was a main factor when creating the overhead covering.

INSTRUMENT PROJECT
Louisiana Tech University ARCH 215
The purpose of this object is to capture different views around a site. In specific, views that display the qualities of growth and decay. In the pictures shown we see framed in the background a young gum tree. the middle mirror is showing a fully grown marsh. Finally, in the foreground the mirror is showing a dead log. We can see that we captured three different views in one glance.

PARAMETRIC STUDY
Louisiana Tech University ARCH 325
In my first dive into Grasshopper, I decided to tackle two things at once by incorporating a panel structure that would be a study on how light would pass through the structure throughout the day. Eventually becoming a built model, this project gave me a lot on the importance of placement on a site and how different a space can feel depending on its orientation.
