U of A College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture
2007, Tucson, AZ

The design for the 33,000 SF Expansion and 37,000 SF Renovation of the College of Architecture + Landscape Architecture (CALA) is rooted in celebrating and emphasizing the essential collaborative nature between the disciplines. The building and the landscape have a symbiotic relationship as building water is reclaimed and stored to sustain plant life. As time passes, yellow orchid vines will take over the entire southern face of the expansion, providing shade from the Arizona sun.
