Scavenging the ruins of the petroleum age to build the foundation of the next. Existing oil infrastructure is repurposed as a structural scaffold. Over time, oyster mass thickens the steel, transforming industrial remains into habitable, living architecture - a transition from extraction to accretion.

SCAFFOLD TO STRUCTURE

SPECULATING THE OYSTERSCAPE

Oyster reefs expand to a territorial scale, reshaping coastlines, buffering floods, and reorganizing human occupation within a hybrid ecological and industrial landscape.

ACCRETIVE GROWTH INTERFERENCE

MATERIAL ECOLOGY

Forefronting these ideas, Baytown refinery scaffolding is repurposed as the primary framework, preserving the site’s industrial vernacular. Within this structure, oyster-filled gabions calcify over time, transforming from permeable mesh to a monolithic shell. This growth is managed through tidal cages, which are periodically reorganized to operate as both cultivation devices and construction units.

HIGH PITCH

ARCH 4510

KEVIN STORY

CASEY QUICK

Houston is a city defined by the distortion of physics. It is the slowed down time of DJ Screw and the atmospheric rage of Travis Scott; proof that sound can transcend the physical world. High Pitch follows this frequency. Structurally displacing the auditorium like a chopped & screwed track, the design refuses to be grounded. It evokes the raw, nocturnal energy of the Rodeo, a suspended vessel where the heavy laws of gravity bow to the weightless power of performance.

TYPOLOGY

Cultural Infrastructure

PROGRAM

350 Seat Performance Hall + Public Interface

CONTEXT

Allen Parkway Corridor / Buffalo Bayou Gradient

ISSUE

Acoustical Isolation + Topographic Severity

ACOUSTIC TOPOGRAPHY

A modern intervention along the evolving Allen Parkway edge, the design enhances the corridor’s density with a sharp, suspended form that floats above the terrain. Negotiating the complex slope, the architecture focuses on structurally preserving the ground plane while establishing a bold, contemporary landmark within the high-end context.

ARC CIRCUIT

STUDIO PROFESSOR ARCH 3500 SAM CLOVIS

Channelview is a landscape defined by the convergence of flood risk and industrial waste. Arc Circuit responds with a radial infrastructure that acts as both a recycling center and a protective berm. By elevating temporary housing for displaced residents above the working floor, the architecture creates a symbiosis between the machine and the community; a continuous loop of material reclamation that offers sanctuary from the rising water.

BERM STRATEGY

OPERATIONAL GROUND

The ground plane operates as a continuous engine of material recovery. While an outer berm defends the site against San Jacinto floodwaters, the radial architecture inside acts as a physical shield. Pushing heavy vehicular circulation to the exterior edge preserves the center as a protected community sanctuary. This calculated geometry allows the industrial machine and social courtyard to seamlessly coexist.
