Live + Learn + Work + Play is a thesis proposal looking out how to improve the United States housing problem. The proposal looks at existing at existing conditions here and abroad to find the pros and cons for each. The main concept for the proposal is to provide opportunities for the residents not just a place to live. The complex provides each resident with a job, a outlet for education, and other amenities that are in easy access for the residents or lacking in the community in which it is placed. The opportunities are more than just the physical but also provide mental, emotional and financial counseling. Live + Work + Learn + Play is a community that fosters a family to a better tomorrow.

The commercial aspect of the complex is to provide jobs for the residents and bring commerce back to the neighborhood. The commercial prosperities bring much needed amenities to the Third Ward. In the beginning there are job possibilities the commercial properties bring much needed amenities to the Third Ward. In the beginning there are job possibilities together. The blending will be done by providing spaces in the stores for the neighborhood to sale their goods or services. The washateria provides cleaning services and once it grows may also provide mending, sewing or clothing design services. The clothing store will provide second hand clothing and be a place where the neighborhood can sale their gently used clothing. After the growth of the clothing store, products such as fabrics, home goods or accessories could be sold also. The market will start small, as well as the vegetable gardens and commercial kitchens, these three aspects will be intertwined. The gardens will provide education in planting, growing and the produce will be used in the education classes in the commercial kitchen as well as the produce for the market. The idea for all of the commercial pieces is to start in the commercial kitchen as well as the produce for the market. The idea for all of the commercial pieces is to start and the people around them.

018The Blaffer Gallery project was to design a new complex for the existing Blaffer Gallery on the University of Houston campus housed in the Fine Arts Building. The gallery is a non-collecting gallery and mainly shows student work. There were three different sites on campus that the students could choose to design on. The site chosen for the Blaffer was at the main entrance into the campus. The site placement helped build the project because it provided a future expansion for the university campus, brought private and public together, and created an edge on the main road into campus that is vacant. Other concepts were to engage the public with nature providing a courtyard in the center of the building and focused views throughout the circulation to the sculpture garden in the courtyard.

ureFloating Planes was a project submitted to the 2010 ACSA/AISC Student Design Competition. The

competition was to design a day spa with site constraints, a few being, in walking distance to public transportation, surrounded by building at least 4 stories tall and in an urban context. The main challenge was to push steel to it’s limits. The Floating Planes looked at ways to cantilever steel allowing a minimum building footprint. Other concepts were to block the noise from the surrounding downtown so that when the patron entered they could leave that stress behind and focus on themselves when entering the complex. The site being in downtown creating outdoor landscaped space was important to bring green space back to the city. Floating planes is trying to push the steel limits and provide a relaxing space for downtown workers.

Graduate Design Build is a program that the Level I candidates participate in the summer after their first year. The program allows the students to design and build the project as a collective. The project was a shade structure at a local elementary school. The concept for the project was to provide a space for the children to play, perform and learn in during the school year. The project included a cistern and planting module that was covered in the children’s art tiles. The module was used to hold water after rain, a home for the koi fish and plants. Ultimately the cistern will be used as a teaching tool.

Students began in small groups to create different designs to present to the school after a site visit where the school administration, teachers and students told the graduate students what they wanted from their project. This included a shading structure in their courtyard from children to play, perform and learn from. The science teachers wanted a garden and pond for the teachers to learn from. The school looked at each presentation and took parts of each project to combine into the final design.

Cinema Farm is a complex for independent film makers. The farm supplies offices and holds movie premiers for the film makers work. The site for Cinema Farm is set in the historic sixth ward of Houston. Concepts for the project were to look at ways to engage the sixth ward and the rest of the city, properly displaying the artists work and to provide a process of movement through the building that attracts you inside and out.

The Botantist Lab was a project to deal specifically with space and human relationship. The program included a structure to house an office. laboratory and an extensive garden lab with water for hydroponic studies. The site was placed in the downtown. The site program asked a secure separation between site and city while identifying a threshold and transition from public to private. The structure is 1600 sq.ft.

049Over a ten month period, six graduate students in partnership with the Community Research De-velopment Center studied the dilapidated community of West Port Arthur to find their history and to produce visions for a better future for the community. In October 2010, the project was presented to the City of Port Arthur. The following are excerpts out of our final books WPA-Analysis and SEED.

10X10 [DEADLY AIR] was a project that started with looking at the 10 most important events that have changed Houston, Texas in the last decade. The second part of the assignment was to look at 10 ways to improve Houston and finally to choose one of those ideas and expand upon it. Houston is one of the top

polluted cities in the United States. The project looks at ways to publicize the pollution problems, bring public awareness to the affected persons living around the Hwy 225 corridor where the Houston Ship Channel and

main industrial plant area of Houston lies. The surrounding communities include Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, Channelview, and others. The concept was to produce propaganda billboards, paint the existing

holding tanks and invest in air monitors placed down the corridor that tell the residents the air quality.

This was a project in which we had to study the life cycle of a product that we use everyday. The life of a t-shirt studied the life cycle of the shirt from the planting of the seed of cotton to the shirt being put into the landfill. The project was also to look at how to reuse and recycle the product. These are three graphic repre-sentation of ways the t-shirt was used in it’s life cycle. The project was a group effort in a Materials & Meth-ods class.

Sin City is a site diagramming exercise for a Level I project. The Sin City represents all of the crimes that took place in the year of 2008 in the Historic Fifth Ward in Houston, TX. The highest number of crimes that took place in that year were used in the map. The crimes that were mapped included forcible rape, aggravated assault, robbery, DWI, auto theft, burglary, burglary of a motor vehicle, and narcotics. The crimes were ranked from felony to possible misdemeanor than defined in the color red. The darkest color of red is the most vio-lent crime; forcible rape.
