Located in Scottsdale, Arizona at Cattle Track Arts Compound, T.S.O.A. continues the legacy of the Frank Lloyd Wright Fellowship through hands-on learning, collaboration, and an emphasis on “learning by doing,” material honesty, and environmental awareness. My project responds to this ethos through a redesign of the campus that organizes the program into three separate buildings: a lecture hall and gallery, a live–work building, and a wood and metal shop. Each structure uses dried Johnson grass, a local material, as a primary shading strategy to create a shared material language across the site. The lecture and gallery building includes a curved grass wall outside the lecture hall and enclosing the out door 1:1 staging area creates fast-moving shadows and a comfortable outdoor space for presentations. The live–work building is wrapped in large grass-covered cages that provide shade while keeping the building open and breathable. The wood and metal shop uses dried grass roller shades that open onto a raised deck between the shop and live–work building; the deck sits above a retention basin, allowing rain and floodwater to move through the site toward the canal while supporting airflow and easy movement of materials to the gallery and 1:1 staging area. .
