Item A diagnostic medical and dental clinic for children(Texas Tech University, 1973-12) Spriggs, ChrisNot availableItem A health club center, San Antonio, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1994-05) Martinez, Bartolo De La LuzColor and its psychological effects in architecture, can have an impact on the behavioral/emotional aspects of human beings in a color environment. Different colors have different meanings. Bright reds, oranges, and yellows tend to stimulate us, tend to spur muscular reactions and draw human interest outward, while blues and greens make us feel more peaceful, relaxing, and more conductive to mental concentration. Colors can therefore be used psychologically, to implement various emotions pertaining to people in a working and sedentary environment. Not only do colors affect us emotionally, but evoke a response to human behavioral reactions. Color affects muscular tension, cortical activation, heart rate, and other functions of the body.Item A hospice at Villa Rosa for San Antonio, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1978-05) Lewis, Roy LlewellynNot availableItem Item A performing arts center for San Antonio(Texas Tech University, 1989-05) White, JeffArchitecture can be instrumental in increasing the interest in the Theater Arts. The intention of the theater arts center is to express cultural values at different levels of interest in order to make the theater a penetrating, relevant, and exciting encounter. This can be accomplished by creating interaction between the audience and the actors at a pedestrian level, thus creating an Environmental Theater. The Theater Arts Center will become a theater within a theater, in which the environment surrounding the auditorium theater becomes a theater in itself. I believe this type of theater will create a greater interest of theater arts and a greater interest in the San Antonio culture. The outdoor theater will cater to theater activities at a daily basis and during festival periods, while the auditorium theater will cater to the evening viewers who wish to experience the theater at a more private level. The theater within a theater concept will also create a greater learning experience for those who live in and visit the San Antonio area, thus creating a better quality of life to those who wish to experience the theater.Item A Recreation/Community Facility for San Antonio, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1979-12) Foster, Paul W.Not Available.Item A Redevelopment Project for the Old Ursuline Academy, San Antonio, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1970-12) Mosby, WoodyNot Available.Item An expansion of the Marion Koogler McNay Art Institute: San Antonio, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1978-05) Gates, Charles MNot availableItem Architecture of art, meditation, and companionship: Chora Regional Art Center, San Antonio, TX(Texas Tech University, 2000-05) Adams, M. ClayPlants look like animals, animals look like rocks, rocks look like animals, plants look like rocks, animals look like plants. The sun bursts over the horizon, immediately filling an enormous sky with incredible light. Textures and colors emanate. A unification of the maker, his creation, and me. Emerging from the desert. The medium through which I will respond is a Regional Art Center. The Chora Fine Arts Forum will serve as a stage in which to contribute to the understanding and pleasure of the Arts. Within San Antonio, people are accustomed to, and have clearly expressed the pride in their cultural identity, an identity that is also very appealing to visitors. This project should protect and reinforce the uniqueness of San Antonio, contributing most to the essential character of the district such as: color, indigenous materials, and cultural history. Engaging its surroundings to reveal the place's essence, translating into a more profound experience of the land, sky, climate, and vistas. Understanding a landscape created by something other than man, bringing serenity and Harmony through a commitment to architecture. This is a place of art, meditation, and companionship. A place where man can make peace with himself, where his passions and desires may be confessed, forgiven, ad faith in the beauty of humanity proclaimed.Item "El Corazon de la Ciudad"--a multi-use complex(Texas Tech University, 1981-12) Sprinkle, Davis H.Not availableItem Environ-mental: A Dorm for the University of Texas San Antonio Downtown Campus(Texas Tech University, 2005-12) Guzman, StephenArchitecture should influence life by introducing design that is active with the life of a site and engages the user in a simplistic manner. Architecture can then obtain the interaction that is needed in order to build a living space. More then just making a building energy efficient designs should give meaning to the user's life and reveal a connection to the systems of life. A student housing complex for the University of Texas at San Antonio Downtown campus that responds to the activity of life in its university and urban context. This complex is part of the overall growth of the downtown campus that is looking to serve the needs of a growing region. The new residence halls needs to house 270 beds plus other related activates. The site is located directly west of downtown San Antonio on a site sloted for the future growth of the University of Texas at San Antonio Downtown campus. This site is to the west of the existing campus across Frio Street and would almost double the size of the campus.Item Examining Working Class Chicano Identities in San Antonio and Chicago as Portrayed in The Banner Project by Juan Miguel Ramos, David Botello’s Arte por Vida/Art for Life and The Children of Quetzalcoatl by Ricardo Santos Hernandez(2011-08) Polendo, Arthur J.; Check, Ed; Chua, Kevin; Erler, Carolyn; Wasserman, Jason; Jaddo, LahibThis dissertation examines how contemporary Chicano working class identities are imagined and portrayed within three public art examples in Chicago, Illinois and San Antonio, Texas: The Banner Project, completed in 2002, by San Antonio Artist Juan Miguel Ramos, contemporary tattoo art of San Antonio artist David Botello, owner and proprietor of Arte Por Vida/Art for Life tattoo studio, and The Children of Quetzalcoatl mural by Chicago artist Ricardo Hernandez. Using the artists? lives and environs as grounded theories, I fully document their images and analyze how these artists and their artworks relate to and interact with the particular surrounding space and location as well as my personal and professional relationships to the original art sites. I examine the multiple ways ethnicity plays a role in each artist?s life and art and discover that ethnicity is but one meaningful factor defining their art. Formal education, lived experiences within familial locations and working class values and ethics also contribute in shaping the course of these artists? identities and artwork over time. Ethnicity and social class are factors that these artists negotiate daily. These formally educated artists with working class roots have helped change communities and the visual arts and are but a glimpse of the complex lives and locations of what it means to be Chicano in a rapidly changing American cultural landscape.Item Hot Wells Health Resort for San Antonio(Texas Tech University, 1983-12) McBroom, Scot CurtisNot Available.Item Item Inner City Homes: A Multi-Family Housing Complex(Texas Tech University, 1984-09) Garza, A JNot Available.Item Integrated Office and Residential Community(Texas Tech University, 1984-05) Williams, KeithNot Available.Item Jefferson Street Market: An Adaptive Reuse, Urban Mall(Texas Tech University, 1984-12) Vaughn, Lorin FNot Available.Item Item Merchandise trade market, San Antonio, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1975-12) Polendo, BenitoNot availableItem
