6Daylight, Atriums, & CourtyardsEarly on in the research phase of the design natural daylighting was a major emphasis of the client. Through various personal interviews natural daylighting was a key element that every interviewee wanted. Along with site analysis the logical and proper solution was to implement an atrium as the key design element. Many people
interviewed wanted natural light as much as possible as well as a connection to the outside. Due to the design being a cancer center patients did not always have the opportunity to be outside because of health risks. Therefore small atriums and large expanses of glazing were utilized to provide the feeling and sense of being outside of the building. Evidence has shown that elements such as this tend to help
benefit the facility employees as well as help patients heal.

Dallas Presbyterian Hospital is owned and operated by Texas Health Resources (THR). This particular project was under the guidance and direction of HKS Inc. and Principal Norman Morgan and Principal Ron Gover, both of HKS.The project is a current project being
designed by HKS Inc. Key design concerns were the association of the new cancer center with the existing Presbyterian campus, the use of natural daylighting, and the use of the site.
Research
7ResearchThe design project was centered around Evidence Based Design (EBD). This made it imperative that proper research was conducted to find the best information available to inform the decisions made during the design process. Such research was found in Health Environments Research and Design Journal. The resulting information was used as proper evidence for
reasoning in the design solution. The initial evidence research dealt with the spatial organization of many healthcare facilities. It was important to try and find evidence of facilities that not only had successful spatial planning but also utilized the concept of atriums and natural daylighting. The image above was a proper example of this as it contains a large natural daylit central atrium that organizes the
remaining program of the buildng around that central axis.
Research
8ImagesWhile in Dallas visiting the existing site photographs were taken in order to have a visual reference and understanding of how the site currently is to the entrances and the users of the facility. Views on this site were highly important because of the natural vegatation and nature just south of the site that also included a creek. The site also had a large grade and slope from the
North end of the site to the South end of the site and therefore working with that grade was an oppurtunity to provide views of the building from the exterior as well as views from the interior for the occupants.

The site analysis involved traveling to Dallas to visit the site and the clients to understand the needs of the project. While visiting the site there were key items that were to be addressed such as: -Location of Entries/Drives -Views -Noise -Proximity to nature
4: Intersection toward nature area
3: Parking Lot toward existing building
2: Intersection toward site
1: On site view toward entry bridge
Site Analysis
9Daylight AnalysisThe second step in the site analysis was to analyze the climate of the site. The main climate data that was used to inform the design was the daylight analysis. The direction and angles of natural daylight throughout the year was vital because of the use of large expanses of glass and atrium space within the design.
The diagrams above were taken from AutoDesk Ecotect and show the Best Orientation for a structure on the site and the sun paths and angles for the summer and winter solstice. The solstice was taken for both seasons because these would be the highest and lowest angles the sun would be at for any given time throughout the year for this site.
Key Angle MeasurementsThe diagrams produced key angles that could be used to design the main natural lighting concepts.
Key Angles:Best Orientation: 187.5 degrees West of SouthSummer Sun Angle: Max of 80.6 degrees

Schematic DiagramsThe human spine is one of the main heirarchical pieces of the body. It makes sense to use the spine as a model of organizing paths and direction through the building design. The subsequent radiating bones and organs become the lower levels in the organizational heirarchy.
The initial image of spine was taken and analyzed in different levels and parts. The Spinal Cord became
the major heirarchical piece while other parts such as the bones of the rib cage became paths that lead to other points of interest. In the human body the rib cage acts as a protective shield to other vital organs that lie underneath the cage and within the body. The other vital organs in this case are the yellow points of interest in the diagram that are connected by secondary circulation. This secondary circulation is much like the veins and
arteries that carry blood between muscles and organs within the body.
Ultimately, in a 2-Dimensional diagram, the spine is a perfect organizing principle for space and circulation in order to create circulation paths that lead to different points in the building. These points are either departments, atriums, or courtyards.

The Spine and SpaceIn this stage of the design process the spine concept was taken and merged with the site analysis and daylight analysis. The daylight analysis produced a Best Orientation for this specific site of 187.5 degrees West of South. This means that the southern facade and consequently the southern part of the building had to be turned 2.5 degrees to the West. This provided
the best possibility of sunlight as well as compromised heat gain and heat losses throughout the summer and winter months. Once the form of the large circulation atrium spine had been defined it was clear that the building would have both a major and minor entry point. This fit well to the program as well due to the need for a returning patient entrance.Seen in the upper right diagram,
the entry points were defined on the East and West sides of the spine. The East entrance would accomodate the first time visitors and any returning patients coming from Greenville Avenue. The West entrance would be a two story entrance with access to an adjacent parking garage for returning patients as well as an emergency entrance on the bottom

Atrium Section The atrium section was drawn in order to show the relationship between waiting spaces and the central circulation spine of the building. A key idea for this project was to give people a better waiting experience and therefore many of the waiting spaces were linked to the large expanse of natural lit atrium space as well as smaller atriums in other departments of the building.

Project Description
The project was a 48 hour charrette sponsored by the AIA/AAH at the National Healthcare Design Conference. The conference and charrette were by invite only and Texas Tech and the Healthcare Certificate Program were selected for 2011. Myself and three other team members were selected and traveled to Nashville, Tennessee where we participated in the design challenge.
The project was described as an adaptive re-use of an existing medical facility... with a twist. That twist became a medical facility for athletes and the exact determination of what a medical facility for athletes included and needed was completely up to us as the design team. The site was located in Centennial Park not far from Vanderbilt University.

EnvelopeMimicking the focus of orthopedics- The study of the muscoskeletal system. The facade system imitates muscular structure and connection.
Plastication served as the inspiration for the the envelopes design and composition.
The digital path landscape that runs through the adjacent sportsplex (visible in site plan) was inspired by the interwoven layering of an athletic quadricep muscle and the intricacies between the muscles, tendons, and bones.

BackgroundThe initial program involved the development of a highly extensive set of spaces for a graduate satellite school for the Texas Tech College of Architecture as well as a new Library Sciences graduate school. The location of the project was to be in Lubbock in the original and historic district of downtown. The site included two lots, one on the north side of Broadway Avenue and the second lot being on the
south side of Broadway Avenue. This site was highly important because the satellite campus would hopefully bring a strong connection of Texas Tech to downtown with the ultimate goal of revitalizing the downtown district. The direct axis between Texas Techs campus down Broadway to the East became the heirarchical organizational street of the design. A secondary challenge was to tie the Art District to the north of Broadway Avenue back to
the organizing axis and through to the downtown Depot District. The Depot District is a large area of bars and restaurants and therefore brings immense amounts of commerce to the area. The Art District brings commerce as well but also brings a cultural and artistic prescence back to dowtown. A key task in designing for this project was to meld the arts with the commerce around a central common axis to create a more vibrant downtown Lubbock.

As Texas Tech University strives to become a Tier I status school, the need for a much larger outreach to the community is absolutely necessary. The development of a downtown Graduate School will ultimately help to break the bounds of Texas Techs campus into the urban fabric and scene of the community. Texas Tech is quite simply the life line of the city of Lubbock and the city grows and thrives as the university and its
student body and faculty thrive. The fact that Texas Tech is planned and designed in such a way that blocks off the outside public world to its internal structure is not a conducive way of planning for the future and expansion of the university and Lubbock. There is a fundamental need to begin to tie the different types of neighborhoods and districts in Lubbock to the very entity that gives it life, Texas Tech University.

The first stage of the design process began with the development of foci. Both partners were at liberty to choose any number of foci that they would like to focus on. These ideas could come from literally anything the person found as interesting to themselves. As the project progressed the foci were developed first in order to better understand what the idea could be used for in the design of the building. The
project itself has a program that ultimately is a contradiction of itself. The program calls for the combination of a building that includes both a Graduate College of Architecture as well as a Graduate College of Library Sciences. These two academic majors would normally never be put next to each other in the planning of an academic facility for campus simply because of the differences in curriculum for both.
This lends itself to the idea of the foci more because it forces the design team to take different ideas that may not normally pair together and make them meld to each other in order to satisfy the needs of the building, the program, the client, and the site.
The final three foci ideas selected are seen above and briefly explained.
Rhythm & HarmonyHarmony is the vertical aspect of music. Harmony becomes a series of waves and rhythms that change depending on the point of the harmonic series. Harmonies eventually develop a rhythmic pattern to create a song. A building must have a rhythm in many ways in order to function properly.
GrowthThe focus of growth became a key idea because of the need for this design to be able to help grow the downtown district back to what it once was. The design ultimately will incorporate growth in some form of the building.
Foci Developed by Joel Benavides Foci Developed by Matthew R. Davis

ImpactAn impact can hold many different meanings. Some of these meanings could be the idea of two or more objects colliding or meeting at some given time and the resulting action of that moment. This could lend itself to an enormous event and action that could have either good or bad results. An impact could also be a feeling or lasting meaning to an area, building, place, etc that could ultimately affect how that place develops into the future. This
became a key element in the design foci because it can be seen how a building program such as this could have an enormous impact on Texas Tech, the downtown districts, and the Lubbock Community as a whole.
Foci Developed by Matthew R. Davis
Foci
42
The foci for the project were further developed into basic studies that could be used later on in the design process for different uses. The harmony/rhythm foci is used to determine circulation paths and within those paths there are patterns in the floor and cuts in the side walls of the paths. The paths act as catwalks that weave their way through the structure of the final building design. The initial idea of
rhythms and weaving can be seen above. The teal colored paths are the finalized circulation tubes or paths that were created. The larger gray tubes are the programmatic areas that are adjacent to the circulation paths. The rhythms are eventually the regulating principle of where windows, structure, and interior details are seen throughout the project.
Progression
43
The development of this foci also included the notion of bridging Broadway Avenue. The long gray tubes at certain points became bridges from one programmatic part of the building to the next. This also lended itself to the development of the teal circulation catwalks because a thin circulation system was needed to move along side the program tubes as well. The program tubes in this
study bridge over Broadway to the southern side of the site where more program would potentially be located. An initial study into the impact foci was also incorporated so that the relationships that would otherwise not be there could begin to be seen, discussed, and iterated.
Media: FormZ RenderzoneProgression
44
Growth and Impact became the final two foci developed for use in the design of the building. Growth became a way of showing the relationship with what is presently in downtown to what could possibly be in downtown Lubbock. It shows the ability for Lubbock to grow as a community and as a district due to affect this school could have on it. Eventually the idea of growth led to the development of any urban green
space and park on the site in order to give the dowtown site a place of gathering. The places of gathering could be for every day people walking by or driving by in downtown or a place for gather by the students and faculty of the building.
Holocaust MemorialThe initial precedent example that was informative and inspirational for the development of the urban park was the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. The urban design of the memorial has unjulating stone memorial pieces that when seen from above create a ripple and wave affect that is very strong and lasting to the viewer. This also helped to develop a connection to the foci of
impact because of the lasting impact that a structure or a series of structures such as this can have. The urban park for this design was built with this concept largely in mind.
45
The Growth focus developed the urban park as seen in the diagrams above. The development also created a supplementary idea to growth, that of a gradient. A gradient is essentially a growth of one color to another. The diagram above shows the growth and gradient from the left to the right end. The green spaces and walkable concrete areas are tighter and more compact and then begin to spread out and lengthen as they
move away from the left edge. This ultimately created the same ripple affect as the Holocaust Memorial. The different parts of this urban park however become planters for landscaping and benches as they become lower in the distance.
The focus of Impact ultimately tied directly with the idea of the urban park and growth. The impact became a piece of the building program, the auditorium, and was
located on the southern end of the site. The unjulating urban park grew out of the ground and rippled outward from the impact of the building on that end of the site.
46
Through initial foci development studies, programmatic groupings began to mature in the form of large functional bars. These bars established a consistency between the spaces that united certain parts of the program. The program bars run along the length of the project site at different levels based on their relation to the atrium of the building. One of the three bars emerged as a larger, more hierchical
form. Within this bar existed the studios, classrooms, as well as the deans offices of the building. To give this program bar some visual significance, it was given a floating effect by raising the bar over the urban park.
In an attempt to embrace this idea of a hierchical, floating bar, a complex structural system needed to be implemented. Behind the research
of a helpful precedent study, a large box truss was developed with the intention of cantilevering the entire bar. This would not only create a stunning structural form but free up the space for the urban park that exists below this bar. The park would not be obstructed by any columns or other supports that come from the bar above. A secondary, supplemental box truss is crossbraced to the west one.

This museum became the primary structural precedent for the graduate school structural design. The structure seen on this building is monumental and almost seems impossible. This building pushes two cantilevers in two different directions which makes the structural solution that much more impressive. This building helped to inform our design of the needs for a structural system this demanding.

This truss serves as the counter weight for the cantilevered weight. This supplemental box truss holds different program spaces and serves as the member that ties into the ground as the structural foundation.
After calculating the span distance and total tributary area of beams, as well as maximum height of the columns, W12x65 wide flange
steel beams were selected as the proper size for the trusses to be constructed. Different connections exist at different moments within the truss (e.g. instances where cross bracing beams tie the two trusses together).
William Clinton LibraryThe Clinton Library was a clear choice for a structural precedent. The form is reminiscent of the shape and form of our design. The structure is monumental steel box trusses set within the building. The structure then holds a curtain wall out from to the exterior, creating a double skin layer.

Design goals for the enclosure of the building were to use a double skin system on the majority of the exterior facing walls. The outter first skin will act as the shading device for the secondary more transparent skin. A major component of the building is the use of the immense truss structure throughout. The original design intent was for all of the structure and MEP to be exposed in the finished design.
Therefore the decision was made to use Low-E glazing for the secondary skin because of its translucency properties as well as its thermal properties. The primary skinwill be made of long thin panels that are a sustainable 50% bamboo and 50% recycled paper. The panels are all 7 tall with varying lengths. The panels are to be arranged with a gradient from roof level down towards the ground level. The space
in between each panel ranges from 2 at the top to 30 at the bottom of the facade.
Envelope SystemDouble Skin Envelope
Art Center College of Design-South CampusLocated in Pasadena California, it uses a similar structural system to our building design in that its internal structure are trusses. The design has a transparent facade to reveal the structural systems. Our design will not include any patterning but the same basic panel types will be used. The external steel structure holds the glass or transparent material in place which is then structurally held by a secondary system behind the exterior layer.
ASU Polytechnic SchoolDesigned by Lake/Flato Architects, this building gives a strong precedent for the screen wall being used on this project. The screen is a series of horizontal rigid members that are held by a steel substructure which is subsequently connected to the main structure of the building.

The Texas Tech University satellite graduate College of Architecture and graduate College of Library Sciences will implement a number of sustainable systems and materials.
These implementations include a double skin system to help regulate with passive cooling and solar gain, exterior shading panels of Eco-Clad material, American Clay Materials,
sustainable flooring materials, rainwater collection systems, and low-e glass.
These systems and materials are being implemented in the hopes of building a more sustainable and responsible building. This will lend itself to the longevity of the building as well as the rejuvenation of many of the materials back into the natural ecosystem.
Above: American Clay Wall FinishDescription: Wall finish material made from earth friendly materials. The material is a sustainable plaster. It is susceptible to changes with temperature and moisture control but the climate of the area and the exterior cladding of the building should help
in aiding this interior wall finish to be durable for the life of the builidng. These particular colors will give a warmth to the interior of the building in coordination with the wood and exposed steel.
Above: Bamboo flooringDescription: Bamboo is a highly renewable source and therefore is very sustainable. A bamboo flooring system will be implemented throughout the design.

Left: Low E Curtain Wall GlassDescription: This glass type will be used to help regulate against glare, heat gain, and heat loss. The central entrance atrium should be well protected from sun and winter weather by the two programmatic bars, but the use of this glass system will help to ensure the building functions more sustainably.

This design studio was an urban design studio conducted in Paris, France. The concept was to revive a district of Paris that was known for its fashion stores and schools at one time. The prescence of students and the fashion industry however had begun to lessen due to the crime riddled nature of the area.
The project was designed in coordination with Billy Henly, a
student of architecture and civil engineering.
Site data of Passage Caire.Paris has upwards of 55 passages that cut from the primary radiating streets to the secondary and tertiary streets and alleys throughout the city.
Often times these passages are covered from the elements and
provide areas of commerce through retail, restaurants, and services.
