Muni Center for Transportation StudiesFor this Project we were asked to

redesign 250,000 square foot lot. The focus of the project is

to turn this slow and dead lot into a multi-use area. The uses

include a Muni Historical Meuseum, office space, commercial

space, and residential space as well. My focus on this project was

to create different living spaces into three different levels. The

ground floor is intended to be used as commertial space, and the

Muni meuseum will also be located on the ground floor as well.

The second level will be used as office space. While the third

and top level would be residential space, it would incorporate

a green roof with open space, while the toweres will serve as

the residential living quarters. Large ramps make a for a grand

enterance into the office space, while elevators which are only

connected to the towers create a private enterance into the

building.

The Palou commuity garden currently sits above

train-tracks that runs in the north/south directions.

Currently the site is bare with weeds and small shrubs

covering the site. Using the communities suggestions

we then included a dog-park with benches, raised

planter boxes and a pumpkin patch along the main

enterance to the park, and along the axial path going

through the park there are various picninc benches for

BBQ’s and picnics. The design of the main enterance is

based off of the tracks that run below with the planter

boxes representing the wood foundation below the

tracks, and the asphalt representing the metal tracks

tracks. Also on this site, as well as another Garden

project in Richmond CA, I designed a sustainable fense

that runs along the edge of the site. This fense doesn’t

only establish the parimeter of the site, but it also

provides shaded seating, espalier to provide a larger

harvest, and also a water catchment systemto collect

water for the dry mounths of the year.

Welsh Plaza Landscape Design

Plan of New Welsh Plaza

Located on the campus of University of San

Francisco’s, Welsh Plaza sits between three large

buildings and will become a temporary plaza for

school related events and functions. The original site

was mostly flat with two main grassy patches, one

in the middle of Welsh plaza, and one in front of the

library across from the plaza. The goal of this project

was to create a space that could host school events,

and also be inviting for students to relax and sociolize

in. Due to the site being barren with little to no places

to sit and enjoy the space, I designed a raised mound

that has a curved shape instead of a squared off one

to create better circulation through the area. I also

desined a cement landing on top of the mound with a

wheelchair accessable path, and also shadded seating

area for students and faculty to enjoy a meal outdoors.

The addition of trees not only provides shade for the

seated area, but it also helps block out some of the

wind that comes through the site to prevent it from

turning into a wind tunnel.

This project in particular was not to come up with a

design of my own, but instead we looked in depth at

an architect and explored his/her theories and views

on architecture through their concepts and designs.

In my case I decided to look at Mies van der Rohe,

and explored how his design intergrates indoor and

outdoor spaces to create a almost seemless transition

from indoor to outdoor areas.

Bridge Design Goldengate Park

The emphasis of this bridge design was to

use the least amount of materials as pos-

sible. Using similar suspension teqniques

such as Norman Fosters Millau Bridge in

France, this small scale bridge is sus-

pended by cables which hang off of the

large arch standing over and across the

bridge itself.
