CUBIC MASSC O N S E R V A T I O N

Cubic Mass is a two part project that focused on creating unique geometry, implied space, implied volume, and asymmetric compositions. Driven by the imposed program, I was able to

composites of the interior, and exterior through form study and sketches. An extension of part one, the second part called to create an elegant solution for a residential complex.

PIER PROJECTM O R R O B A Y P I E R

Pier Project explored the concepts of site analysis, program analysis, architectural design and development of orthographic drawings. Researched and studied Morro Bay’s culture, I designed a mixed use community center. This community center has a gallery space

Shade Structure explored the concepts of site analysis and the 3D software called Google sketch up. The objective was to analyze and choose an ideal orientation for the shade structure to maximize shading but provide an optimal amount of sun light. I designed this shade structure to contrasts with surrounding buildings and become

Design of the Morro Bay Library explored the concepts of program requirements, site analysis

was to interview the existing manager and workers to understand the needs of the community. The second phase were compositional sketches and form study. I designed this library with a centralized plan to maximize security and social interactions.

FOURFOLDH E I D E G G E R

Fourfold explores the concepts of light & shadow, scale & proportion, and parametric design through methods of

essay, “Building, Dwelling, Thinking.” By allowing these ideas to permeate into the design, I designed this structure for people to receive the fourfold: Earth, Sky, Mortals, and Divinities.

D IVERGENTP A U L J . P O L L O C K

DIvergent is a physical representation of Paul J. Pollock’s method/style of painting. During the Abstract Expressionist

sharp critics, His unique style of painting called, Drip Painting, proved innovative. For this project, I chose study Pollock’s life and painting, and allowed it to act as the backbone of my design.

CENOTAPHP A U L J . P O L L O C K

Cenotaph is a monument dedicated to Pollock’s works of art, and serve to educate folks of his story, and inspire the community to pursue creative endeavors. Divergent acted as a

of this project. Located in Long Island City, New York City, the site was both an issue and advantage. To maximize useable space for social interaction, I designated 4 distinct quadrants: exterior courtyard, interior exhibition, screening room and the Cenotaph. Below the Cenotaph are commercial spaces.

PRACT ICED R A F T I N G

Architectural Practice allowed me to understand the fundamental components of real-world drafting such as construction details and the importance of line weight. My attention to detail improved and my patience grew. This project includes Floor Plans, Elevations & Sections ,Mechanical & Electrical Plan, and Building schedules.

SOLAR HOUSEZ E R O - N E T E N E R G Y

Solar House was designed so that the total amount of annual energy use is strictly equivalent to the total amount of energy produced on site. Located in Eugene, Oregon, Solar House was designed to compliment Eugene’s unique climate zone. By using several different passive strategies, the house is cooled appropriately during high temperatures, and heated during low temperatures. Furthermore, the house produces, and stores energy through renewable resources, most notably, Solar Panels. Project requirements called to create a house that accommodates a child and a married couple comfortably.
