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.

Research-Based Approach to Architecture: Jackie Hogan M.Arch + MS.Arch ‘25

Jackie Hogan (’25 M.Arch + MS.Arch) is a dual-degree graduate of CAPLA whose work bridges architectural practice and research-driven design. Drawn to architectural history, theory and ethics, she pursued the M.Arch + MS.Arch dual degree to explore how research can shape meaningful design decisions. During her time at CAPLA, she engaged in community-centered design through Laura Carr’s studio working with the Tuba City community and completed a thesis examining architecture’s role in disaster relief and climate-related emergencies. Now working at Line + Space, Hogan brings an evidence-based approach to projects, applying research to create thoughtful spaces that connect people, culture and the environment.
