BUILDING FOR WAYUU COLUMBIA, FALL 2010

PASSIVE HOUSE COMPETITION, SPRING 2011

AIA scholarship 2011

The project was located in La Guajira, Columbia.The proposal was for nomadic people of Wayuu to become self-suffi cient in the creation of their habitats. Wayuu are known for their textile, mochila bag, hammock, and unique way of building structures. Helped to design a school which fi t the construction methods of the tribe. The school is used for children to get better education to prevent their poverty from spreading further and improve life style.

The competition was sited in New York City. It was open to architecture students and focus on the idea of applying sustainable design to a skyscraper that also met the standard of Passive House requirement.

The project was sited in downtown Providence, RI. It was focused on pushing the existing condition to change how people live their daily lives. The proposal was to redefi ne the purpose of alley ways to make active paths to bring children and family out and create fun and safer passage ways to travel.

Future City Active path for children 2012

The project was sited in Providence, Rhode Island downtown. In the beginning of developing this project, it was my ambition to change the atmosphere of the city by transforming bicycle as main transportation and making safer place for children to travel by foot. The proposal was to redefi ne the purpose of alley of buildings to make active path to bring children and family out by creating safer passage way and fun way to travel. The downtown was chosen because the occupation of workers and by parents running errands with children. Most case, parents wants to use car as transportation to make the trip quick and safe while they are running errands with children. By changing alleys, parents do not have to rush through the errands nor worry about safety of their children. This project is divided into different sections: sensation, learning to grow plants, physical experience of climbing, and learning how to bicycle.

sound fun cart balance snacks climb celebrate learn slide wind green path

While bicycle moves a ramp above, vibration through wind chime makes music. Children runs and chase after one another passing by an old couple who takes time to walk the path. For them, walking down the downtown is not something to fear anymore because they can now easily sit and enjoy the company of young ones. They used to not fi nd any place to sit in this area which made them hesitate to come. It is diffi cult for people of older and younger generation to walk so much and having benches every 5 minutes of walk helps. Toddler walks holding daddy’s hand and glaze at the wonders of the big wind chime turning and giggles. A mom drags a cart with two boys in it and say hello to another mom as they pass them by with their cart. When they reach the end of the path, they simply empty their cart and another boy jumps in and wait for his father to push the cart. Walking up the stairs and down the stairs and the girls face becomes focused, focusing on balancing on the edge of the path but the child knows that she is safe because her daddy is right next to her ready to catch her hand if she needs him. They smile at each other.

The project was sited in Providence, Rhode Island downtown. It was focus on pushing the existing condition to change how people live their daily lives. The proposal was to redefi ne the purpose of alley of buildings to make active path to bring children and family out by creating safer passage way and fun way to travel. The reason for choosing downtown was because it is mainly occupied by workers and adults or by parents running errands with children. Most case, parents wants to use car as transportation to make the trip quick and safe while they are running errands with children. In the beginning of developing this project, it was my ambition to change the atmosphere of the

city by transforming bicycle as main transportation and making safer place for children to travel by foot. Downtown has many back alleys and most of them are currently occupied by dumpster, fi re escape, and smokers. By changing alleys, parents do not have to rush through the errands nor worry about safety of their children. This project is divided into different sections: sensation, learning to grow plants, physical experience of climbing, and learning how to bicycle. Physical experience includes where parents can drag a cart that carries kid and make a trip. And other part of the project has a pined wheel where it can let scavenger know about the wind traveling gaps of tall buildings.

There are many restaurants in downtown area. Many waste food and throw away in the trash can. Instead, it would be ideal to collect them and turn them into soil where children/family can use it to grow plants and vegetables.

Hostel and dormitory are in the North side the idea of the form of stairs to symbol the youthful and energy of the city and people who lives in it. The outer side of the building is formed with stairs and path of water. People can move with water which gathers in the pond within the campus. The pond is used to cool the campus and remind to the people of the river that surround the city. The site is across from the train tracks and roads. Because of the traffi c, few travel by feet to go to the new city. In attempt to bring north and south together, series of bridges are proposed. South side of the site is programmed with classes.

The competition was sited in New York City, Greenwich 701. It was open to architecture students and focus on the idea of applying sustainable design to skyscraper that also meet the standard of Passive House requirement. The location is near by the Battery Park and the traffi c continues from Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and the drivers can see the building right after they exits the tunnel. It is ideal of having symbolic building that stands for sustainable building and since it is right by water and no other tall building is around that area, allowing the spot to collect wind more than other area. The four corner of the building is pinched to gather wind. And those corners are installed with wind turbine to function as to collect energy that can be stored within battery and used later in the building. Each corner is used as core for circulation throughout the whole building.

Wayuu people strongly believed in expressing their feelings through color. Red express good, yellow express sun, blue for ocean, white purity, black for sadness. Color has big infl uence on their clothes and mochila they make.

Since the people spend most of their time making textile, given the fact it takes them 3 months to create a hammock, creating textile is largely infl uenced in their culture. With given their current location, they struggle to keep water all year long because of hot weather. Sometime children and woman needs to walk miles to fetch water for her family.The idea of the building to have water pond was to provide cooling environment for children to study as well as giving fi ltered water to student’s family to take back with them when they are dropping their kids and when kids are coming back from school.

Sankofa Farmer’s Market 2010

The focus was to implement a food centric program in an existing parcel in the South Side of Providence. It used to be a vacant lot. This neighborhood is one of the most diverse in the State and one of the areas that suffers from food desert. There are no fresh food markets or resource of any kind around 15 min drive radius. The proposal is to provide agriculture area which can be used by the neighborhood and professional. Farmer’s workers struggle to fi nd close places to live around the work. The project contains agriculture fi eld and the market on the fi rst fl oor with classes and living units on the second fl oor. The classes are open to the neighborhood to educate how to grow healthy food and best way to cook them.

As one of Christian and as much as I do love my church, whenever the church make fundraise shirts or sweatshirt, I don’t normally wear it when I hang out with my friends. Most of these shirts shouts out it is a church shirts. The design of this shirt focused on being subtle in religious clothes. On left, the clock points the time as 3:16 and below it says John which indicates John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Whoever wants to know the meaning of the shirts can ask the person who wears it and it would be an opportunity to spread the gospel. The second shirt is focused on the idea of growing the faith as church and as a whole.

Inhabitating slope The construct is principally motivated by a direct engagement with the given materials and by a dynamic, yet precise, relationship with the sloped ground. Using the rope and wood in equal measure, the rope is tensioned to induce a bow and increase the strength of the furring strips. This interdependence is pushed to its limits and results in a delicate balance between the materials and within the form of the construct itself. These pieces are combined to create either an ‘s’ shaped length that becomes the elevated, cantilevered canopy. Both the canopy pieces and the base pieces are woven together to create an interdependent lattice. Within this system, there is an inherent fl exibility that allows the construct to adapt to different site conditions and different programmatic concerns.
