Library, by Hui-Yen Yang

Hui-Yen Yang has designed an interpretation of a contemporary library branch located in Tucson, Arizona. She developed an architectural language of intersecting and overlapping curvilinear walls, which she utilized to create an inviting and playful building that would be very effective in creating a social and educational environment for this specific community. Hui-Yen pushed this language to organize, connect and separate interior and exterior spaces. She also developed highly interactive and appealing outdoor spaces for the public and a natural spatial entry for the users of the library.

Research-Based Approach to Architecture: Jackie Hogan M.Arch + MS.Arch ‘25

Jackie Hogan (’25 M.Arch + MS.Arch) is a dual-degree graduate of CAPLA whose work bridges architectural practice and research-driven design. Drawn to architectural history, theory and ethics, she pursued the M.Arch + MS.Arch dual degree to explore how research can shape meaningful design decisions. During her time at CAPLA, she engaged in community-centered design through Laura Carr’s studio working with the Tuba City community and completed a thesis examining architecture’s role in disaster relief and climate-related emergencies. Now working at Line + Space, Hogan brings an evidence-based approach to projects, applying research to create thoughtful spaces that connect people, culture and the environment.
