Cameron Aurelia BeckmannBorn in Denton, TX October 3, 1988 I grew up in a small town in Southwest Louisiana. The town is an island surrounded by wetlands. I have always felt a deep connection to nature. I believe that as an architect I have a responsibility to the natural world. I want to create architecture that responds and works with nature instead of against it.

I also have a great passion for travel and discovering new places and cultures. I am extremely fortunate that I have had the opportunity to travel to many places including Arkansas, Oklahoma, Philadelphia, New York City, Washington D.C., Rome, Venice, and Florence. The more I travel the more it helps me to understand the different perspectives of each culture.

Pedestrian Bridge and Visitor CenterULL, Lafayette, LA, 2009 This project was to design a pedestrian bridge that connected the old campus with a new campus that would grow to the other side of University Ave. The bridge is to provide an engaging environment for the students to walk to class, interact, and study. Students can also grab a bite to eat from one of the many shops located along the bridge. The project also includes an University of Louisiana at Lafayette visitor center, where prospective students can get information on campus. The concept of the project was based on creating shade for the pedestrians walking on the bridge to provide an enjoyable environment. The visitor center underneath the bridge uses shadow cast on a 3form material to inform the visitor inside of the dynamic environment on the outside (changing of the seasons, movement due to wind and weather, etc.)

Urban Infill ProjectLafayette, La, 2010

This project is a mixed use building located on Jefferson Street, in downtown Lafayette. The program and the overall organization of the floor plan was based on how light moves through the building throughout the day. The programs in this project include a restaurant, art store, art gallery, and sculpture garden. The restaurant has breakfast, lunch, and dinner spaces that take advantage of the movement of the sun throughout the day. For example, the breakfast dining area is located on the east of the building to take advantage of the morning light. At noon, light wells transport light down into the dining area. The building also includes nine apartments and three lofts. The apartments and lofts on the East side of the building were planned for an occupant who is an early riser that enjoys natural light to help them wake up in the morning. While the apartments and lofts on the West side of the building were planned for an occupant who enjoys the nightlife. The apartments have large balconies that face the street to allow for interaction with the people below.

Vital Rebirth Along Rio Rimac:Student Landscape Architecture Design CompetitionLima, Peru, 2011

This proposal seeks to decontaminate the Rimac River of Lima, Peru through phytoremediation, naturally removing heavy metal contaminates from the water and ultimately providing reliable drinking water. The location of the project is on undeveloped land along the river, before the cityʼs main water plant and the edge of the inner slum. This location creates a transitional boundary, emphasizing the importance of preserving undeveloped land. The contaminated water would first be redirected from the natural flow of the river into a system of three reservoirs, which are designed with turf scrubbers to remove heavy metals from the water. After the water is filtered into the third reservoir, algae would be harvested and sold for bio-fuel. Once the water has completed its heavy metal decontamination cycle, it is then distributed into a series of constructed wetlands and canals that flow through the park. These canals further decontaminate the water and allow for the ecology to grow and flourish. Between the slum boundary and the park, farmland is constructed using the decontaminated water for irrigation and also creates jobs for the inhabitants of the slums. Most of the decontaminated water flows back into its natural path of the river. During the wet season, decontaminated water is harvested and distributed to slums throughout the city. The park is not only a source for clean water but also allows the opportunity for Limeneans to experience the natural phenomenon of phytoremediation, and to satisfy the need to escape from the urban density. The city of Lima, Peru has experienced rapid and unplanned growth over the last several decades. The main axis of this development is focused along the Rimac River, which provides approximately 75% of Limaʼs potable water. Large numbers of industries, mines, and informal settlements have developed along the edge of the river, using it as a main source of dumping pollution. The water contamination, which includes fecal matter, lead, arsenic, chromium, and cadmium, has created serious ailments for the dense population of Lima, Peru. Through our intervention, we will give the people of Lima a clean source of water and a better way of living, while creating a hub of social and economic rebirth.

Habitat House448 Carver St. Lafayette, LA2011 (built) Mrs. Luida’s house burnt down in 2008, but with the help of her church, Habitat for Humanity, and The University of Louisiana at Lafayette she was able to get her life back. This house was designed by ULL graduate students. Fortunately I had the opportunity to work on the construction of this house from summer to Fall of 2011. It was a wonderful experience learning construction while knowing the final product would make a positive impact in Mrs. Luida’s life. This house was to design by three University of Louisiana at Lafayette graduate students who coordinated with habitat for humanity. The home was built by students and habitat for humanity volunteers. I got the chance to design the combination driveway and handicap ramp that was later added on to the home. I gained over 130 hours of on site construction experience from working on this project.

Event House500 Madison St. Lafayette, LA2011 (built) The Event House was designed and built by University of Louisiana at Lafayette architecture students and the Arceneaux Construction Group, LLC. The house is the first in the Neighborhood Infill Program initiated by Lafayette Public Trust Financing and University of Louisiana at Lafayette . It is anticipated that the Event House will achieve the National Association of Home Builder’s Model Green Home Building rating of gold. The house was started in the summer of 2011 and was completed in February of 2012. It was sold for $153,000 by PAR realty. It is has two bedrooms, two baths, and an office. The house is 1350 interior square feet plus 500 square feet of covered decks. The design includes a 750 W solar array,plenum HVAC system, and foam insulation. The exterior is covered with cypress and metal siding. I did not design the home but was able to help with the construction in the fall of 2011. I gained over 30 hours of on site construction experience from working on this project.

an·a·ly·tique [an-l-i-teek] An elevation drawing of a façade, surrounded by a decorative arrangement composed of drawings of the important details and sometimes a plan or section of the façade. This project was to create an analytique that helped to reveal the relationship between the object and it’s effects. The analytique was to bring out the latent potential of a greater understanding of the architectural detail. The Farnsworth House changes the way one perceives nature. The viewers perception of the surrounding area shifts when occupying the house.

Growth House315 Lamar St. Lafayette, LA2011 This project was to design a house as neighborhood infill housing. This was a group project designed by two other graduate students and myself. The Growth House contains a created condition that interacts with the surrounding environment through a site-specific massing. This is a 1,374 square foot two story home. It has two bedrooms and two baths. The kitchen and dining room are open to the central core that acts as the living room. This central core is a primary organizing factor in the overall design. The core is two stories tall and features a large sky light that gathers light from the north and brightens the space. On the 2nd floor an open office/loft space overlooks the core living area.

Next House (original)315 Lamar St. Lafayette, LA2011 This project was to design a house as neighborhood infill housing. This project was intended to be a design/build project but due to complication with the purchasing of the site the house had to be redesigned and this design was not built. This was a group project designed by six graduate students and myself. The House is a series of intermediate thresholds that define private and social conditions. This is a 1,374 square foot two story home. It has two bedrooms and two and a half baths. The kitchen, living room, and loft are open to each other to one large volume that makes the house feel large and open. On the 2nd floor an open office/loft space overlooks the kitchen and living area. The main living area and the bedrooms are separated by a polygal wall that allows the to rooms to have a slight visual connection while still maintaining privacy.

Next House (final)319 Jackson St. Lafayette, LA2012 (built) The Next House was designed by myself and other six University of Louisiana at Lafayette Architecture graduate students and was built by students and King Contractors, Inc. in the summer of 2012. The home is the second project in the Neighborhood Infill housing Program initiated by the LPTFA, Ragin Cajun Facilities, Inc. and UL Lafayette. Within walking distance from downtown Lafayette, the 319 Jackson Street location is ideal for inhabitants seeking a neighborhood with established seasoning and a colorful background. The Next House provides the finest space for a contemporary lifestyle amid a rich and thriving culture.

The Next House is a seamless integration of public and private space. Perfect for socially active inhabitants, the Next House offers a private retreat that transforms into an impressive public space through simple intervention. By opening two doors to the outdoor porches, the entire public space becomes a single room open to the community. Open ceilings in the bedrooms alongside a second story loft in the living room allow the Next House to be simultaneously fitting for functions such as personal office work or a celebratory crawfish boil.

McKinley Street RedevelopmentLafayette, LA2012 In order to redevelop McKinley Street and the surrounding neighborhood, a plan has been generated to connect the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Downtown Lafayette through the McKinley Street Corridor. In our proposal, we have created a plan that will come into effect in phases. Phase 1 will consist of a creation of green space along Jefferson Street. This green space includes, landscaping along the street, a playground where McKinley St. meets Jefferson St., and preservation of the existing day care. Phase 2 focuses on adding more multi-family housing on McKinley Street. With the existing market of university students, this phase will add much needed housing. In this phase there will also be some retail established. Phase 3 creates mixed-use development along Jefferson St. and University Ave. The focus in this phase will be more on the commercial aspect, although more housing will be created. Phase 4 generates more housing on peripheral blocks surrounding McKinley Street. The typology of these blocks will consist of townhouses. Within these phases, an option to create a pedestrian promenade along McKinley Street is available.

This was a group project designed by myself and Loni Talley, a fellow graduate student.

Perspective One depicts the playground where McKinley Street meets Jefferson Street.

Perspective Two illustrates the corner of Cleveland Street and McKinley Street if McKinley Street was converted into a pedestrian promenade.

Phase 1: Creation of green space along Jefferson Street. Phase 2: Mixed use development; Multi-family residential focus on McKinley Street.

Phase 3: Mixed use development; Commercial focus on University Avenue and Jefferson Street.

Phase 4: Multi-family residential development along side streets.

Sections In urban environments perception of the street is important. The sections strive to convey the experience of a human being on the street. Section One is of the proposed pedestrian promenade on McKinley Street. Traffic would be diverted to peripheral streets, creating a bike path in the center bordered by greenscape. The sidewalks would be widened to allow for outdoor seating. Balconies can be used to create an arcade for shade. Section Two depicts Jefferson Street bordering the playground. Two-way traffic is maintained with a green median. Sidewalks are widened and trees created a barrier to protect the pedestrian from traffic. Parking is contained on peripheral streets around McKinley Street and courtyards are located in the central part of the blocks. Section Four is of Lamar Street. To create a pleasant environment it is important that the parking garages are not detrimental. To prevent this, living walls are located on the garage façades. Two-way traffic is maintained with the addition of one lane of parallel parking. Section Five portrays Cleveland Street in the townhouse neighborhood. Balconies protrude over the sidewalk to create appealing areas. Two-way traffic is maintained. Section Six is taken through the McKinley Street if it were to remain open to vehicular traffic. On street parking is utilized with an arcaded

sidewalk. Surface parking serves residential apartments adjacent to retail.

McKinley Street Block Strategy RedevelopmentLafayette, LA2012 Within the overall plan one block was chosen for more detailed development. The block selected borders General Mouton to the south, McKinley Street to the east, Cleveland Street to the north, and Lamar Street to the west. For this block, multiple strategies were devised based on the amount of property that could be acquired. The block focused more on retail frontage with apartments above. Smaller numbers of properties called for surface parking. When an entire block could be obtained, a parking garage could be developed as well as an interior courtyard space. Axonometrics were produced to present spatial relationships within the scheme.

Typical Floor Plan

402 McKinley Street Lafayette, LA2012 This building is located on the corner of McKinley Street and Stevenson Street. The building is kept at a small scale to allow it to relate to the existing neighborhood. It is a mixed use building with an art store and a cafe on the first floor and four apartments on the second floor. The cafe features outdoor eating on the ground level and balcony dinning in the canopy space which acts as the front porch of the building. The design was based around the large existing trees on the site. The existing trees in the parking lot provide shading for the cars. The large pecan tree to the north of the building also provides shade and an unique dining experience for the people in the cafe. The roof top features outdoor living space for the people living in the apartments.

Sabine Refuge Visitor Center Hackberry, LA2012 (thesis)Dependability Through Natural Cycles: Strategies of Adaptability in Architecture

In the summer of 2005, I got my first job at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge and I fell in love with the marsh and its landscape. That September, Hurricane Rita hit and devastated the area. The storm completely destroyed Sabine’s visitor center, office, and support buildings for the refuge.

A level of dependability is required for a community to feel secure. Architecture can offer dependability if it is built with consideration to natural cycles. Most architecture built today is stagnant and deficient in dependability because it only responds to one condition. Natural cycles can be used to establish a range different of strategies of adaptability. These strategies of adaptability can help us to reconceive how we design and create active buildings that respond to dynamic conditions. Adaptability can ensure the building’s safety and usefulness as it adapts to changing conditions. This provides dependability that help make a community feel more secure in the event of a major disaster.Opposite Page: Rendering of outdoor exhibit and bunk house.

My project will rebuild the visitor center back in its original location at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge. This new visitor center will be built with strategies of adaptability and will to adapt to the changing environment. These strategies will be established based upon the natural cycles of the wetlands. These strategies will also protect and initiate a process for repairing the building in the event of a hurricane. This will also severe as an example of how to build in the surrounding communities. This will lead to an extensive reduction in the amount of debris swept into the refuge during a powerful hurricane.

Natural cycles can be used to establish a range of strategies of adaptability. Understanding and learning form these cycles can help us to build adaptable buildings. The cycle of the seasons can help us to establish a building that responses to revolving conditions. The building will respond to weather changes, hunting and fishing seasons, and a cycle of seasonal users. The life cycle establishes a cycle of life anddeath of the programs within the facility, the ability to sell off old or add in new program, and looks at the long term viability of the facility. The burning cycle of the marsh establishes a process of renewal after a major disaster, a way to have roots to start to rebuild from, long term cycle of materials, and durability and renewal of materials.

The hibernation cycle establishes a process of shutting down programs that are not currently in use to save energy and resources. The migration cycle establishes a way of braking down the building into smaller mobile pieces. These mobile parts can migrate to safety whenthreatened or relocate to where they are needed the most. Adaptations of the local wildlife can help the building learn how to adapt to a changing environment and develop strategies to help protect the building from harm.

47 Camino Por Los ArbolesAtherton, CA2013 (unbuilt) This project was a 15,000 square foot spec house, design for Atherton, California. Tom Taylor was the principal architect on this project. I attended client meetings, drafted plans and elevations, prepared presentation drawings, and prepared documents for the permit set.

This is a 6 bedroom, 8.5 bathroom house. The basement includes a gym, bar, wine room, theater, entertainment area, maid’s quarters, and storage. On the ground floor there is a detached 2 car garage and another 3 car garage that is attached to the main house. The ground floor features a open living room/dining room space, large kitchen with walk-in pantry, family room, study, office, mud room, and office. This home has two options for a master bedroom. One on the first floor and one on the second floor. This allows the home to appeal to more buyers. Three additional bedrooms are also located on the second floor. The house also features a large pool house which includes two additional bedrooms and a great room.

Borgo Di Migianella BallroomEl Dorado Hills, CA2013 (still in schematic design) This project was a 3,000 square foot round Ballroom. Tom Taylor was the principal architect on this project. I attended client meetings, drafted plans and elevations, and prepared presentation drawings. This classical ballroom was to be used for weddings and parties. On the first floor is a large circular ballroom with 9 pairs of doors that can be opened to the exterior. The basement acts as the service and recreational area, featuring two bathrooms, a large entertainment area, kitchen, pantry, and storage.

42 Hotaling PlaceSan Francisco, CA2013 (still under construction) This project was to renovate a 3,500 square foot condominium in a historic building. Tom Taylor was the principal architect on this project. I took field dimensions, prepared as-builts, attended client/contractor meetings, prepared presentation drawings, permit drawings, and construction documents; I also did some construction administration.

42 Hotaling is on the third floor of a historic brick building in Jackson Square. The building, originally known as Hotaling Stables, was built in the 1860’s and is designated as San Francisco Historical Landmark No.11. Renovation of this condominium involed reconfiguring the master suite, living room, and kitchen.

The project is currently under construction and should be completed spring 2014.
