BRYCE BOGGS

ABOUT

Currently in my 4th year of school at Texas Tech University studying Architecture and Civil Engineering with an expected graduation date of May 2024. I have a deep rooted passion for the built environment, and plan to pursue a career in façade engineering which will enable me to use both my love for architecture and civil engineering in a joint field.

ARCH 3601, TTU

The Boston Research, Resiliency, and Reformation Institute seeks to serve the young minds of Boston’s most diverse neighborhood through ecological research done by local universities as specifically related to the built environment. The RRR Institute engages young people in the historically underserved South Boston neighborhood through immersive educational programs providing local K-12 students with research from Boston’s leading universities. The RRR Institute has a mission of not only increasing communal awareness of the environmental impacts directly affecting Boston, but also supplementing STEM education in the area providing dual enrollment credits to encourage the pursuit of higher education.

SOLAR OBSERVATORY VISITORS CENTER

The goal of the building was to create an orchestration of forms that connect the user to the ground and the sky. Using large, cantilevered forms, the user is provided with unobstructed exterior views to the outside landscape. The merging of the two forms from the villa creates two distinct, yet conjoined spaces. The most prominent are the two spaces on the topmost level. Bound by interior walls, the spaces themselves serve as the solar hall. One framing the oceanic view, and one framing the mountainous landscape.

The entire Solar Observatory Center is meant to encourage interaction with the space and the natural landscape. Having the lines blur between public and private space helps to drive this function. While some spaces become much more intimate, such as the café area, public interaction and circulation is encouraged. Sprawling gathering spaces and spanning solar halls help draw the user to both the building and the landscape around them.

One challenge with designing in a location within the arctic circle is accounting for the soil conditions that are present. An approximately 3m thick active layer is present in Svalbard. That meaning, that it is constantly thawing and freezing depending on the time of the year. By building past this layer into the permafrost, as well as supporting the building far past the active layer, effects of settling can be minimized and the foundation can be much more solid to accommodate for this cycle of changes.

LUBBOCK ART INSTITUTE

COURSE

ARCH 2503, TTU

The Lubbock Art Institute resides in the Lubbock Art’s District and seeks to create a space for local high school students to create, learn, and showcase their artistic talents. Envisioned to be right in the heart of the Art’s District, the Lubbock Art Institute would also allow for public interaction and showcases through the monthly First Friday Art Trail that is hosted in the area. Having a space that is dedicated for the growth of the minds of high school students, but also the Downtown Lubbock area would benefit the entire population of the city. Drawing inspiration from both the Kings Road House as well as Villa VPRO, the instate has unique mass timber forms that are arrayed along the site.

Axonometric Site Plan

Shown above are a site plan view and an axonometric view of the building as situated on the site in West Downtown Lubbock. The curvilinear forms privilege the use of Avenue K as one of the many entrance points into the building. The building expands and maneuvers northwards as it progresses along the site.

Elevation

Shown above are a section perspective of the building as well as an elevation of the building. This view showcases the curvilinear for that is arrayed in several instances throughout the building with the central radius acting as a datum for pedestrians to mass through and interact with the building.

TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY NEW OFFICE BUILDING

Showcased in the upcoming spreads is a design for a new office building that was a result of ARCH 3352 – Building Information Technology. Throughout this course, an entire CD Set was produced with necessary detail drawing for the project. A few of the most intricate drawings have been selected. This course provided students with the necessary material to learn the basic tools and functionality of Revit to prepare for the workforce; as it is the program that much of the architecture industry uses.
