Project Narrative

An urban oasis is created.

It extends an invitation to its immediate surroundings and much further.

As friendly as it may be with its familiar exterior, it holds much more than the familiar.

On open space both physically and visually.

Light enters—whether it be direct, diffused or scattered; or it does not.

Shaded by rich greens fed by trickling water.

You pass by and/or linger;

an urban oasis is created.

Gather Light: ARC 201

Students in CAPLA’s ARC 201 studio, guided by faculty including Christopher Domin and others, completed the "Gather Light" project focused on understanding and designing in harmony with the Sonoran Desert environment. Through observation, drawing, and modeling, students explored how light, nature, and architecture interact. Key activities involved studying desert plants, translating their forms into design systems, and developing canopies that filter light and enhance outdoor spaces. The project emphasized hands-on learning, teamwork, and iterative design using 2D and 3D representations to create thoughtful architectural interventions that respect and respond to the desert landscape.
