The Farmer's Market project was a a project in which I was commissioned to design a business space at the site of 711 University Dr, Prairie View, Texas. The main aspects of the design was to have a roofing system that would capture rainwater to later be used as gray water. It was a design that required us to only  focus on the design of the roof and the structure on which it would be sitting on. I had the idea of bringing together a minimalistic design that would've focus to much on aesthetics as it would do on the function. 

One of the ideas I wanted to bring into this project was to kinetic architecture. I wanted to develop a system that would allow individual roof panels to move up and down with a system of steel cables and pulleys. The roof panels would have to be strong enough to support the weight of the rainwater but also light enough to be able to move up and down. My ideas were developed in a couple of sketches to figure out the correct angle of inclination and aversion. The system would be able to incline to capture rainwater but also decline to provide more shade to the employees and customers of the Farmer's Market.
