Item Cycles of the Columbia Tap(2022-05-12) Rincon, DavidOriginally a 19th century railroad, the Houston Tap and Brazoria Railway served as a major connection between Houston and the communities southwest of it. After falling out of use, a 4 mile stretch of its remnants was converted into a hike and bike trail that now crosses through East Downtown and Third Ward. This project begins by looking at the cycles of the trail, beginning as a part of the coastal prairie, its transformation into a rail way, its abandonment, and its conversion into a hike and bike trail. Creating a series of proposals along the full length of the trail, this thesis looks to what the next stage in the cycle of the Columbia Tap Trail can be.Item De Zavala Charter School(2022-05-12) Tidwell, Savannah Y.An analysis on the impact of the built environment in educational settings.Item Factory City Tijuana: Tooling Space for Work and Living(2022-05-12) Reyes, AlejandroFactory City Tijuana is an architecture response to the current working conditions in Mexico and the Housing Crisis.

As their feed-back produces the landscape, their stark differences conceal the increasingly complex game at play between the two. In the age of the Anthropocene, when humans have reshaped the earths crust, atmosphere, and species' evolutionary trajectories, the existencial role of the built environment needs to be re-evaluated. The thesis develops in the apparent line that separates culture and nature. Exposing how time, weather, geology, and darkness interact with architecture, order, and human desire for stability and illumination.Item Redesigning the Work-Live Space of 2040(2022-05-12) Yeh, Bethany G.This thesis is meant to show a rethinking of our work-live spaces and how it could positively affect our normal living routines to become more sustainable, spatially efficient, and conform to the future development of technology by 2040.Item Rethinking Health Awareness(2022-05-11) Nara, FukoPediatric obesity is now of epic proportions in the United States. Pediatric overweight and obesity now affect more than 30 percent of children, making it the most common chronic disease of childhood. The current clinics and hospital environments make it difficult to recover as well. Children are now spending less and less time outside learning and connecting with their environment, some not even knowing where our food is coming from. The proposed project converges clinic, education, and landscape, questioning the idea of efficiency and institutional character of a typical clinic and using landscape as a method of healing and learning. The building becomes the frame for these landscape spaces and dissolves into nature. Each of the programs is spread out throughout the site, connected by a low slope and nature. The development of space educates the children and their families as preventative care as well as a place for rehabilitation for those who are already suffering from unhealthy lifestyles.
