PATRICIA KIO | BIO & CONTENTS
BIO
Patricia is an interdisciplinary scholar focusing on the role of architecture in
circular economy and industrial symbiosis synergies.
She received her doctoral degree in December 2011 and is currently a
Research Associate at Texas A&M University. Her dissertation was supported
by a collaboration between General Motors and the College of Architecture.
At Texas A&M she worked as a Research Assistant with the Resource Based
Design Research Laboratory and the Diversity council. She also worked as
Teaching Assistant with the 4th year design studio and survey of world
architecture from 13th to 19th century. Prior to her doctoral studies, she
worked as a studio assistant at Rivers State University. In addition, she
worked as an architectural assistant at Tam Dikibo Architects and Studio
Three Architects for over five years in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Patricia holds a
Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture and a Master of Science degree in
Architecture. She is also licensed to practice architecture in Nigeria. Patricia’s
future plans are to pursue an academic career to further our knowledge on
the role of architecture in circular economy through industrial symbiosis.

SYMBIOTIC CIRCULARITY IN BUILDINGS: AN ALTERNATIVE PATH FOR VALORIZING SHEET METAL WASTE STREAM AS METAL BUILDING FACADES
PATRICIA KIO | 02_PUBLICATIONS
Journal Waste and Biomass Valorization
Authors Ali, Ahmed K., Kio, P., Alvarado, J.,
& Wang, Y.
Year 2020
Case 1: From scrap metal (offal) to breathable skin design: re-shaping offal from original
waste galvanized sheet metal to working scenario of the breathable building skin. Source:
(Lopez, 2017)
About
This study suggests an alternative approach
to valorize non-hazardous industrial solid
waste flow into construction materials, as
metal façade systems by quantifying the
creative reuse of consistent and predicated
sized scrap metal cutouts (known as offal)
that were generated from the automotive
sheet metal stamping and blanking
manufacturing processes.

MATRIX TRAYS: FROM WASTE TO OPPORTUNITIES
Journal Journal of Cleaner Production
Authors Ali, Ahmed K., Layton A., Kio, P.,
Williams J.
Year 2021
About
This study presents two alternative approaches of
reusing matrix trays to the reduced conventional
recycling practices which have caused used trays to
remain in storage or be deposited in landfills.
Approaches including a students’ design competition
and a proof-of-concept case study for an
autonomous shading device are presented. The
shading device was designed, tested and validated.
Trays were transformed from waste into 13 possible
products showing that a circular economy and
industrial symbiosis can be achieved by integrating
multidisciplinary reuse approaches for by-product
reuse and sustainable industry practices.
Environmental and economic impacts were
evaluated comparing reuse to recycling, combustion
and landfilling. The results showed that reusing trays
reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions..

Winning submissions from the design competition: aquaponics
incubation of soil and plants, repurposed ceiling; optic fiber
matrix; customizable lampshades; and “green” façade.

IN SITU EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF A NOVEL MODULAR LIVING WALL SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS
Journal Energy and Buildings
Authors Kio, P, Ali, Ahmed K
Year 2021
About
This study is the second part of an attempt
to foster IS between the automotive and
building and construction industries through
creative architectural reuse of these
automotive by-products and waste-flows for
more sustainable MLWS. Experimental data
from field observations of a case study were
used to calibrate 24-hour simulations of four
seasons in ENVI-met. Life cycle analyses were
carried out using Tally a Revit plug-in and
United States Environmental Protection
Agency’s Waste Reduction Model. Results
showed that the MLWS has a promising
cooling effect on the brick building façade
when compared to bare brick surface.
Applying reuse strategy in IS could reduce
heat islands, greenhouse gas emissions and
energy from conventional recycling practices
of prompt metal.

FORTUNE ESTATE PORT HARCOURT, RIVERS STATE
Design Competition
Year 2006
About
A group of civil engineers came
together to develop 11,700 square
meters of land for an estate to be
leased to company staff. This
winning design was selected from
over 30 submissions in the country
of Nigeria. The estate comprised of
8 of two-bedroom apartments, 6 of
three-bedroom apartments,
recreation building with areas for
shopping, multi purpose hall, and
indoor games area, swimming pool,
service building for staff working in
the estate, security post, and a
water treatment building.

DIVERSITY HACKATHON
Supervisor Dr. Cecilia Giusti
PATRICIA KIO | 04_PEDAGOGY | EXTRACURRICULAR
I organized the 7th diversity hackathon, and also
the 1st virtual hackathon. Logo by Manogna Kavuru
The 2021 hackathon themed “Inclusion
in the Virtual Era” addressed challenges
from university and student associations
relevant to diversity issues on campus
and beyond. The 24-hour event was not
limited to technology and coding skills like
traditional hackathons, but welcomed
solutions in the form of design,
engineering, and spatial creativity to solve
problems. Students from all disciplines
were welcomed as with previous years,
although collaboration was virtual for the
year 2021. Teams competed for $5,000
in prize money, using data from a variety
of public sources to address assigned
challenges. Teams could produce apps,
prototypes, visualizations, art,
installations, marketing strategies or
anything else that would enhance Texas
A&M’s campus climate.

About
ARCH 406 Architectural Design V: Topical approaches to design,
emphasizing theory and practice of architecture or related disciplines,
such as urban design, interior design, health care design, etc. I WOULD
RATHER BE DREAMING SUMMER DESIRES is a 4th year architecture
studio that will explore the ideas of how cities must adapt to the
inevitable changes provoked by the acceleration of capital and the
omnipresence of digital information technologies, intersected with the
concept of play as a projective motivation. The studio will work at the
city scale and will offer projects that operate as such, introducing ideas
of urban design as well as imagining new forms of relations among
bodies and space at that scale. I WOULD RATHER BE DREAMING
SUMMER DESIRES departs from the acknowledgement of the limited–
sometimes boring nature of a summer studio while the preference
might be to be somewhere else, doing something else, at play enjoying
the summer. It will use the summer desires as program builders and
the city as scenario for the insertion of a radical imagination–or
dreams, of summer desires.

About
ARCH 250 is a survey of world architecture and the
human-designed and human-built environment from the
thirteenth century to the nineteenth century. ARCH 250
examines the global built environment in a diverse range
of cultural and religious contexts from the thirteenth to
the nineteenth century. In this cultural-historical
approach to architectural history. Students develop an
awareness of the religious architecture of many faiths
(Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam), the evidence
for the transmission of design and technology across
cultures and over time, and an understanding of how
cultural identity is expressed in the visual arts. The
survival of many historic structures to the present day
provides an opportunity to discuss issues of social
memory, identity, adaptive reuse, and historic
preservation. By learning how to appreciate, understand,
and respect the built environment of different cultures,
students will gain insights into how the world we build
has always reflected who we are.
