Port fol ioBenjamin J RosasUT EID: bjr724

As a steward of the environment and of the global community, I am seeking to further my studies in the Master of Architecture Program at the University of Texas at Austin in order to continue my commitment of helping others in the world around me. One of my most distinguishing characteristics is the diversity of experiences that I possess. I am a student of architecture with a passion for serving my community. I am experienced in creative design yet have an advanced technical talent in systematic thinking. I have special interest in environmental responsibility with respect to the built environment and enjoy travelling and understanding cultures of the world. These facets of my character have given me a better understanding of the world and have influenced me to pursue a lifelong education in architecture. I believe that all of these qualities, although some are not directly related, will greatly influence my graduate work because of their varying level of knowledge in a broad range of topics.

The Baccalaureate of Science in Architecture degree that I will receive from the University of Texas at San Antonio has given me a strong foundation of analytical design skills and has helped solidify my interest in practicing architecture. Over the past four years I have developed a keen sense of my abilities as a result of my experiences.

I have been working part time over the course of my undergraduate studies at two design firms that never ceased to challenge my architectural aptitude. I worked for Ed Urbanek Designs as a 3-D and graphic designer and helped produce architectural drawings and presentations. I also worked for Kell Munoz Architects as an intern where I focused on graphic design and marketing campaigns. I have also dedicated the last three semesters of college working on a volunteer initiative design project for the Methodist Mission Home, a local non-profit organization dedicated to educating physically and mentally challenged teens with various life skills in order to become more independent members of society.

However, more than what I have studied in school and college, it has been my experiences that have shaped the person that I am today and that have influenced my decision to further my education in architectural design at the University of Texas at Austin. I believe that these experiences have also helped in defining my future goals by providing me with a broad outlook and a good understanding of life and architecture. It is this diversity of knowledge and desire to learn, among other things, which led me to apply to the University of Texas at Austin.

I am a caretaker of the environment and of the community and it my desire to fulfill my own dreams the best way that I know how. I enjoy giving my time to help others and giving my life to my loving wife and family. I play soccer in my free time and am committed to a lifetime of learning. My experiences have made me who I am and who I want to be. They have made me confident in myself and will make me a positive impact at the University of Texas at Austin.

1Museo Alameda Table

Study Models (above) and Constructed Table (below)

Designed for a “Green” Gala at the Museo Alameda, the table communicates the need to rethink production methods and product lifecycles. Rather than use harmful materials and wasteful processing techniques, the design implements a clean and nearly wastefree process and product. The table is made from recycled paper formed into a structural honeycomb carboard which is then embeded with seeds. When the tables’ life is done, it can then be planted into the ground and grow vegetation using the cardboard as a growing medium.

Passage - Revulsion

ObjectiveThe goal of this project was to 3-Dimensionally explore the relationship between the meaning of a word and the architectural experience of that word.

Processdesign and build a passage as a transition/place as a specific relationship to occupancy.

Revulsion1 : a strong pulling or drawing away : withdrawal2 a : a sudden or strong reaction or change b : a sense of utter distaste or repugnance

ObjectiveThe success of this project was dependent upon its ability to connect the students of UTSA to the city and campus by creating an architectural medium by which students could gather. ProcessThe concept of the design was derived from studying the art of folklorico dancing and its meaning to the Downtown San Antonio culture. The design progressed based on the idea that a student would feel more comfortable in a place that connects them to their surroundings. The triangular form of the site allowed for a dynamic plan.

Baile Folklorico literally “folkloric dance” in Spanish, is a collective term for traditional Latin American dances that emphasize local folk culture with ballet characteristics - pointed toes, exaggerated movements, highly choreographed.

ObjectiveLocated in the desert town of Marfa, TX, this urban infill project must serve as studio, exhibit, loft, and office space. Modeled as an extension of Artpace in San Antonio, this building will house three artists-one from texas, one from anywhere in the U.S., and one International.

ProcessMarfa is known for its Minimalist art and artists. Therefore, this project was designed with a minimalist attitude to capture light and create flexible, shared spaces with a simple structure. Close attention was made to harmoniously join the public, private, and shared spaces with a careful transition.

Water Conservation School at the Pearl Brewery

ObjectiveThis project was designed to adress any type of need that San Antonio might be facing. Located across from the Pearl Brewery on the San Antonio River, we focused on contributing to the social mission at the pearl by accepting our role as environmental and community stewards. Our design goal was to create a place that would give the people of the city and region a sense of community and outreach through service.

ProcessIn groups of 4-5 we brainstormed ideas for a program. After deciding to adress the regional problem of smarter water use, we wrote the mission statement for the proposed Water Conservation School and began to individually develope designs. Focused on sustainability and community, my project was designed to educate the population through an architectural experience.

ConceptThe design employs the use of a modular system much like a rail car. Each module is carefully placed to adress certain attributes of the site and context. Much of the finishing materials are recycled or re-used products.

ObjectiveThe Air Force Village (AFV) is a re-tirement community for Air Force service men and women. The proj-ect was to design a place that the people of the community could come to gather and relax. One of the main criterias of the project was to re-use an existing structure and establish a connection between the old and new design while also adressing the current needs of the residence and satisfying the needs of the future.

ProcessAfter meeting with the Board of Di-rectors at the AFV, a list of current needs and problems were written out. The design progressed by es-tablishing a renovation program to fulfull the list of needs and to add to it.

ConceptThe concept focuses on improving the lifestyle of the residence and the needs of the staff. A hierachical order of simple layout and circula-tion, landmarks, connections, and lines of sight were very key design principles. Re-inforcing and re-using the existing structure imple-ments a sustainable strategy lead-ing to a more responsible design approach and a healthier place to be.

ObjectiveThis project adresses the expansion and growth of San Antonio. The downtown area has stunted its growth with surrounding highways and needs a point outside of those highways to continue downtown growth. Therefore, this design focuses on the urban renewal of Frio Street because of its adjacency to the downtown area.

Process / ConceptMuch research and analysis was conducted during this project. Studies of the history and projected growth of the downtown area were done to best explore the options for this street and its relationship to its context. Meetings with city planners were held to discuss the future development of the surrounding areas. This process lead to the solution of a phased development from the north end of the street to the south end implementing adaptive re-use and historic preservation of existing structures.

ObjectiveLocated less than a mile away from Mission Concepcion and embedded in a historic neighborhood lies Concepcion Park, the site of this proposed project. The goals of this design are to repair existing problems with clever solutions, promote phisical activity and fight childhood obesity,serve the community, and connect with the context.

ProcessThe process began with a trip to Mission Concepcion and a study of the site and surroundings. Establishing a destination/place that people desire to experience was key. therefore, a re-development of the existing park was necessary. With inspiration drawn from the mission, design development led to an architectural language that has an inspiring connection to the San Antonio history.

ConceptThe bells of the mission serve to call people to gather, alarm a community, and signal something significant. Like the bells of the mission function, so should Concepcion Park. Every design decision made must be a responsible one because of our role as stewards to the people and to the environment.

EXISTING CONDITIONS PLAN

Project DescriptionThe site of the proposed Digital Library and Mixed-use facility is located on a sloped, transitional block between commercial and residential areas within Alamo Heights in San Antonio. The east side of the site faces a popular community street, Broadway, and the west side faces a neighborhood. The library/residential program was chosen as an effort to promote social activity within the neighborhoods and to provide a setting for community gathering. Alamo Heights High School and The University of the Incarnate Word are located just blocks away from the site. Since no other library exists in Alamo Heights this illustrates the need for a shared learning environment.

Cultural SustainabilityWith the advancement of the digital age, the need for educating the public on the latest technology has grown. The digital library program exposes the latest and greatest techonological advances while it also exposes a small community to a global database of knowledge. The design utilizes vernacular material found in gonvernmental and institutional projects in Alamo Heights in order to build apon the existing architectural language. Since the community econurages maintaining this architetctural style, the design calls for a renovation of the existing building which will define a new streetscape. The program of this project is developed upon societal needs adressing a lack of community social gathering and learning space. This means that there is a higher probability of greater longevity of the program and thus the facility. South Broadway Proposed Streetscape

45

SustainabilityIn an effort to establish environmental responsibility, the project is cutaway on the west side allowing the parking structure to be exposed yet shaded to the elements. Doing so allows the parking surface to be over sixty percent permeable which is far less than the maximum buildable area. The project also utilizes the earth from the excavation of the parking facility to cover a major portion of the roof of the library. This gives the space high energy efficiency by providing a high level of thermal control. The roof of the main structure also utilizes solar panels equipped on north-facing roof monitors to power a portion of the site as well as reduce energy consumption. The building is also wrapped on the west and south side with a shading skin that filters the direct sunlight that comes into contact with the glazing. The filtering of light reduces the heat gain through the windows.

Alamo Heights ZoningFor a Mixed-use development, the city’s zoning codes require a 12’ setback from the north, east, and south property lines and a 20’ setback from the west property line. There is a 40’ maximum allowable building height from the street level and a forty percent maximum impermeable buildable area (not including the existing building footprint). Alamo Heights zoning also demands the preservation of heritage trees. There must also be an 8’ green buffer between the west side of the site and the neighborhood housing.

ProgramThe design is located in located in a mostly residential area. To see the impact that this program would have on the community, we studied the types of existing programs that run north and south of the site along Broadway. Broadway is an arterial street that connects Alamo Heights from the north to the south. It has an urban feel and contains different types of commercial, religious, governmental, and mixed-use facilities that define its streetscape. The proposed project is designed to enhance the Broadway streetscape. It protects the residential area located immediately behind the site by providing a buffer from the busy street. The program is developed to offer a new and fresh component of the existing thread of commercial spaces.

In addition to the exisiting salon program, the Digital Library design utilizes retail, leasable, and cafe spaces. In order to draw more income, the design also provides 4 leasable live/work residential units and 2 leasable penthouses overlooking Broadway. These units also have access to a private park. The layout of the site was developed with the goals of encouraging pedestrian commute and outdoor gathering. The parking facility is designed to hold community events such as open air markets. The separation of the live/work residential program and the library program is joined by a community courtyard overlooking the parking level. The library level and north-facing vertical roof monitors are showcased to Broadway with a large wall of glazing.

CodeThe main portion of the program is classified as A-3 occupancy by the IBC. The gross square footage of the upper and lower levels of the Library allows the construction type to be Type II-B which has no fire-rating requirements for the structure but is required to be sprinkled. All Spaces with over 50 occupancy are required to have 2 exits.

Types of occupancy on site: -Type A-2- Cafe -Type A-3- Library -Type M- Retail spaces -Type R-2- Residential spaces -Type S-2- Open Parking Garage

Structure LayoutThe structural grid was defined in response to the proportions and bay sizes that are in the existing building. With a 16’X12’ bay, the existing structure reflected dimensions that could be proportioned to fit the combination of new programs- a commercial 16’ bay and a residential 12’ bay. The library structure doubles the north-south 16’ dimension and uses a simple square grid layout based off of that bay in both horizontal and vertical directions. The Residential units also reflect this dimension in plan, however, they utilize the smaller 12’ bay size in a vertical layout in order to achieve a more intimate personal volume. By removing a portion of the existing building the plan was able to follow this simpler geometry.

Branding Studies

At Ed Urbanek Designs, I was given an opportunity to experience first hand the process of architectural design. My work with Ed began as a mentorship which grew into a professional position as I progressed through school. In his office, I learned how to communicate with clients both verbally and with drawing.

Beginning with a simple logo design, my involvement with the firm led to a series of projects that would improve the firms’ marketing profile. These projects included: the re-writing and addition of various company documents, the design of new company letterhead and branding, 3-dimensional exploration of new residential developments, product research and documentation, construction document drawing, project documentation, presentation rendering, and other various graphic designs.

One other important project that I worked on was the design of the new company website edurbanekdesigns.com which showcases the firms profile and portfolio of residential development. My most influential work, however, was the 3-dimensional studies that were performed for clients who struggled to imagine their homes. The computer generated models that I made greatly helped the clients percieve the spaces that would soon be their new home. Watching the excitement in the client grow as the model of their design was turned or as the images were displayed was favorite part of the process. This was not always fast but it was always the most rewarding.

Architectural/Graphic Design Intern

My experience at Kell Muñoz only enhanced my desire to pursue a career in architecture. Because I worked directly with both marketing and architecture departments, I learned the behind the scenes of large scale architectural work. The fast paced environment improved my time management skills and taught me how to meet deadlines with high quality work.

My job duties included but were not limited to: site visits, project photo marketing, project documentation, RFQ/RFP design and production, design award presentation layouts,architectural conference board and presentation layouts, marketing graphics, color presentation rendering, and space planning.

The work that taught me the most at Kell Muñoz included the design of the two level gallery at the Museo Alameda for the new exhibit of Revolution & Renaissance: Mexico & San Antonio 1910 - 2010 . This project involved me meeting with the curator and exhibit owner in order to produce a new plan for the artifacts to be displayed. Another job that influenced me was the rendering of the Bexar County Parking Garage for the official Ground Breaking Ceremony. This project taught me how to manage my time better and also how to better use photoshop as a rendering tool. This project involved me meeting with the client to discuss the angles and materials to be portrayed in the rendering.
