“Untitled” merges new and old, building upon existing elements found on the University of Texas’ campus. Serving both students and faculty, the building primarily houses program relating to culinary studies, all the while providing desirable occupational spaces for both frequent users and passersby. Firstly, the carving of space creates pockets of program on the interior and exterior. Secondly, the sectional organizational strategy of the building designates the most public spaces at the building sub-level. The extent of excavation at the sub-level is related to a desire to activate the ground plane as a more inviting and spatially engaging series of outdoor rooms and concourses that themselves are sort of landscape intervention derived from established avenues of circulation immediate to the site. The curvilinear geometry throughout is likewise intended to facilitate movement through these excavated spaces—this as a method of cultivating a greater pedestrian presence. The sub-level remains intentionally distinct from the upper floors through differentiations in massing, transparency, and sentiments of materiality. In this way, the sub-level engages a heavier, more monolithic language carved out from the land upon which the sleeker, more contemporary floors are built upon.
