Riverfront Research Center San Antonio, TX This innovative design aims to remedy the deficiency by seamlessly blending a tranquil and natural environment with the urban surroundings. Functioning primarily as an ecological research center with a hydrological focus, the project not only delves into the exploration of water but positions it as the central theme of our architectural endeavor. The strategic design involves excavating the site down to the river walk level, with the building masses elegantly spanning the excavation to protect and minimally disrupt the urban oasis. A unique aspect of the design is the illusion of two-thirds of the structure seemingly levitating above the excavation, supported solely at humble pinned connections. This approach ensures that a substantial eighty-eight percent of the site’s lot is reclaimed and returned to the San Antonio community as an accessible and green space.

The project’s overarching goal embodies these three words: Research, Ritualize, and Regenerate. Beyond a meticulous study of water, the project aspires to ritualize water, allowing the community to intimately experience and celebrate its essence. Aligned with its ecological focus, the project seeks not only to regenerate water but also to contribute to the revitalization of the city of San Antonio, presenting fresh perspectives on the transformative potential of this vital resource. Sustainability remains a core tenet, reflected in our material choices that prioritize eco-friendly construction, including a mass timber frame and a double-skin facade .

SXSW Performance Theater Austin, TX Situated in the urban core of Austin, Texas, at the intersection of East 8th Street and Red River Street, is a proposed multi-level performance venue intended to serve as a prominent destination during the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) conference. The design of the venue was informed by a parametric analysis of a variety of extant building typologies, which served as a catalyst for both formal and planar design decisions.
isolated
One of the key characteristics of the site is its adjacency to Waller Creek, which defines the boundary of the site. The design takes advantage of this natural feature by incorporating outdoor patios and shaded balconies that blur the distinction between the interior and exterior spaces, creating a dynamic and immersive experience for attendees.
social
The venue will house a variety of programs across its four levels, including public seating and a cafe, a gallery and exhibition space, a main performance theater, and multiple smaller performance spaces. These spaces will have the capacity to host a range of performances, including concerts, plays, film screenings, and spoken word events.
Spring 2022 | Texas Tech University HCoA
11
tectonic
The primary mass of the performance theater will be clad in a series of pre-cast concrete panels arranged using parametric tools to achieve a cohesive design across all four facades.In addition, subtractions in the facades will further define the character of the venue and add visual interest to the exterior. This cladding will imbue the venue with a unique character and presence within the Austin skyline.

The typical classrooms are located along the southern mass of the project, while the collaborative STEM space is located to the north. A central element of the school’s design is the separation of these two types of learning environments. An expansive grand hall serves not only as a tool of circulation, but also takes on a programmatic role as a space for students to exhibit their work, perform, and collaborate with other grade levels. Despite the open floor plan and the expansiveness of the hall, there are no intermediate columns. This design goal was achieved through the use of deep 60-inch girder-trusses that support the roof load and allow for the preservation of the open floor plan.

Situated at the corner of 26th St. and Upland Ave. is my proposal for a single-story, public charter middle school focused on STEM education. The design concept behind the school was to mirror the staggering of the stages of learning as a formal operation in the project, starting from a stage of “unconscious incompetence” and progressing through a series of steps to a form of “unconscious competence.” Students attending this school will be able to track their progress through the formal changes in their learning environment.

Downtown Athletic Center Lubbock, TX The Downtown Athletic Center is a contemporary facility located at the intersection of Ave Q and Glenna Goodacre in the vibrant city of Lubbock, Texas. After conducting a thorough analysis of the circulation patterns surrounding the site, it was discovered that the southeast corner, which is across from a moderately trafficked monument, had an abundance of potential to be used as a tool to draw in visitors. Therefore, the main entrance was carefully positioned along this corner at a diagonal. Upon arriving at the center, users are greeted by the open-air stairs featuring an integrated ramp system, providing accessibility to all individuals. It is here that they can check in and take an elevator up through the project, which has been thoughtfully placed in the center of the building and encircled by a custom rock climbing wall. At each level of the athletic center, users have the opportunity to approach the central void, which serves as a connection between the different levels of the project. This open space promotes a sense of community and encourages interaction among visitors. It is also a key feature of the building’s design, as it allows for natural light to filter through and creates a visually striking element within the interior of the center.

The roof level has undergone a series of transformations to create a terraced level that offers a green space, observation platforms, and public access via the ramp system. This system envelops both indoor and outdoor program elements, allowing for a smooth transition between the two environments. The roof serves as a unique and inviting space for the general public to gather, relax, and enjoy the views of the surrounding city.

Peek-A-Boo Installation Bethel, NY Peek-A-Boo is a semi-permanent installation located in Bethel, New York, at the site of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Festival. Specifically, the installation is located in the Bindy Bizarre, a forested area that served as the entry point to the main festival and was programmed by vendors for merchandise, perishables, and other goods. The design process for Peek-A-Boo began off-site at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, where a series of hand-crafted models using scaled materials were created. These models were then synthesized into a parametric script that allowed for rapid ideation, iteration, and analysis. The final design consists of a series of elastically deformed arches clad in plywood sheathing, creating a pixelated structure that is contemporary in design but intended to blend seamlessly into the landscape as if it had been hidden there since 1969. The structure’s versatility and adaptability to diverse conditions is a key element of its purpose. The arches create a shell for performers to play within, the deck as a place of respite for audience members, and the structure itself functions as a canvas and a source of shadows that project the forest’s clerestory. ~ **All photographs are courtesy of Breyden Anderson. Project developed in collaboration with Martin Francis Hitch.
