Barron Peper and Christina Hunter [B.Arch. 2015 candidates] are part of an urban studio this spring led by Juan Miró that is exploring the potential behind The Brackenridge Tract, a 368 acre plot of pristine land along Lady Bird Lake donated to UT "for the betterment of the University." The presentation will highlight findings from the studio's visit to Spain where they investigated compact city models and a variety of housing typologies alien to the United States. Join us for a discussion of how developments in Austin can blend high density with relationship to nature.
