conceptual spaces so that they
‘ lb«
could be manipulated by local ar
chitects.
Most of the students' models
were designed so families could
interact with each other and lean
on each other for moral support
instead of remaining isolated in
their rooms.
"The main idea behind the
house is to get people out of the
separate rooms into a large com
munal area," Deeny said. "We
tried to have all of these activities
near the center of the house and
the sleeping areas on the perime
ter."
Ronald Skaggs, chairman and
chief executive officer of the Dal
las architecture company HKS
Inc., said all the students' pro
jects seemed to identify the im
portance of having private space
as well as group space.
"The beginning of architecture
is understanding the needs of a
particular client and turning
those needs into concepts,"
Skaggs said. "The process being
used here is a good hands-on
way for them to learn how to do
that.

"The best type of educational
project in design architecture is a
'real' project, rather than some
philisophical project that really
doesn't have any reality to it," he
said.
Guerra said the reality of the
project gave students bounda
ries on extravagance.
He said students had to keep a
fairly low cost in mind when
working on the project because
the houses are built solely on do
nated funds.
Loran Liu, a senior environ
mental design major from Dal
las, said he enjoyed working on
the project because it involved
working with a real life situation
toward a worthy cause.
"I enjoyed being able to make
connections with certain people
and being able to work on a busi
ness level because this project
deals with personal situations,"
Liu said.
In addition to relying on each
student's input, the classes
worked with a seventh-grade
class which submitted its opin
ions and ideas.
Liu and Lori Sedlar, a senior
environmental design major
from New Braunsfels, put a hot
tub in their model house because
of a suggestion by several of the
seventh-graders.
'In the right place at the right time'
Private launch site
poised to monopolize
polar research market
POKER FLAT, Alaska (AP) —
This rocket-launching site on the
jermafrost doesn't have the
permafrost doesn t nave the
fancy equipment or big payloads
of the Kennedy Space Center or
the USSR's cosmodrome at Tyu-
ratam.
But given its proximity to the
North Pole, high success rate for
suborbital, scientific launches
and unique lack of military red
tape, the university-owned
Poker Flat might be months
away from a contract in the com
mercial satellite market.
"It's as though the universe
has contrived to put us in the
right place at the right time,"
said Glenn Olds, commissioner
of the state Department of Com
merce and Economic Devel
opment.
"We should be closing a deal
on the funding and so on in the
next few months," Olds said.
"We brought one of the big fi
nancial people and several oth
ers from a commercial satellite
company up here. ... Their
minds were boggled.
"I would expect we'd launch
in '93."
Poker Flat gets its name from a
nearby creek and a Bret Harte
short story about a group of out
casts abandoned in a blizzard.
Its remoteness in Alaska's in
terior, about 35 miles northeast
of Fairbanks, has left it largely
unknown outside the srieni
and space communities.
But 11 companies have made
inquiries in recent months aboil
commercial satellite launches
into polar orbits.
Construction began on
rocket range in 1968 because sc-1
entists at the University of Alasl
ka's Geophysical Institiibl
wanted to fire small rocketswiftl
instruments to study the auron
borealis, or northern lights, all
altitude of 70 to 150 miles.
