UTSOA Design Studio - Caravanserai

Marathon, TX 2024

Set in the small West Texas town of Marathon, this graduate design studio explored architecture through the ordering of courtyard, garden, and room. Framed around the design of a contemporary caravanserai, the studio drew on precedents of desert settlement, collective dwelling, and massive construction to consider how architecture might provide both refuge and civic presence in an arid landscape.
