UTSOA Design Studio - Earthen Grounds

Terlingua, TX 2025

Situated in the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas, this graduate studio examined the reciprocal relationship between architecture, landscape, and material. Through abstract spatial studies, precedent analysis, fieldwork, and site-specific design proposals, students explored earthen construction and forms of settlement shaped by climate, terrain, and the cultural conditions of the region.
