STORYTELLING the photographic lens pro-vides a realistic depiction of a point in time. new digital manipulation methods provide the artist a new tool to convey meaning.

the LOS ANGELES SERIES is a colorful look of a city that has multiple boundaries, sur-faces and archititecture that create condi-tions that embody a progressive city.

MOVING BEYOND WORDS reappropriated popular photos that documented impor-tant periods in race relations in america. by rephotographing these images with a second layer of information, we open a new discourse on our reliance of color as a label and remind and reauthenticate our constant struggle for equality.

BENDING MEDIA Most of the graphic design work displayed here is client work for stu-dent organizations based at UC Irvine.

As art pieces, the UNIONIZE series was a visual response to underpaid maintenance staff on campus seeking for solidarity. al-though made for a graphic design class, the images caught enough attention to be reproduced in a well known, alternative newsmagazine.

FORM EXTRUSION although sculptural work only accounted for a small percentage of the work, it still is one the most powerful in artistic medium.

SELF-PORTRAIT is an attempt at creating an imperfect, but to scale, representation of myself. it is a continual struggle to push boundaries and not to run myself over.

BAMBOO MORPHOSIS was my final project at UC IRVINE. this project was a way to transition into architectural thought. as an experiential sculpture, people were invit-ed to walk around, into and through the piece, creating a similar, but urbanistic feel of walking through a bamboo forest.

MARIKA ALDERTON HOUSEYIRRKALA COMMUNITY EASTERN ARNHEM LAND NORTHERN TERRITORY1991-1994

THE ARCHITECT Glenn Murcutt is an Australian-born architect who won the Alvar Aalto Medal in 1992 and the Pritzker Prize in 2002. Born in London and raised in New Guinea and lat-er, Australia, Glenn Murcutt’s direct life experience influence his architecture. Although not a famous “starchitect”, Glenn Murcutt has international renown from the craft that he is associated with. His one-man, regionally-based firm con-centrates on the production of residential and institutional based projects. Murcutt was a student at the University of New South Wales from 1956-1961 and, in addition to his pro-fessional practice, he teaches master-level classes.

Because Glenn Murcutt is the sole practitioner, his designs do not center on building massive edifices. His early pater-nal influence engaged him to follow a philosophy by Tho-reau: that we should “live simply and in harmony in nature’s laws”. Murcutt’s early philosophy evolved into his personal motto, “touch the earth lightly”.

A HOUSE FOR EXPERIMENTATION Building structures that are economical and multi-functional, Murcutt’s works integrate and interact with the surrounding Australian landscape. The client’s unique lifestyle was a drastic departure from his previous projects. Working with an aboriginal artist and family, Glenn Murcut was presented with a culture that he frankly did not understand. Treating his project as a “bridge” between modern and indigenous culture, Glenn Murcutt provided a program that fit the client’s needs while keeping enviornmental impact low. A passive air circulation system, combined with the absence of windows eliminated a need for active air conditioning, while a generous roof line provided adequate shade during the tropical, summer months. Finally, to uphold a sense of community within the aboriginees, Murcutt designed the living room as a long hallway, inviting visitors to congregate in the artist’s space.

GLENN MURCUTT + VINCENT VELASCOMEDITATION HUTADVISOR: CARL LEWISPESCADERO STATE BEACH + PARK, CA2008

A SCREEN FROM THE MENTAL; A SCREEN FROM THE PHYSICAL Glenn Murcutt’s buildings frequently involve the enviornment in the design process. In an attempt to adapt the architect’s princi-ples, the meditation hut focuses on a concept of screens - what and how should something be screened. One’s meditation needs can be many - isolation from the real world, calm breezes, bright - or an absence of - light, or just a plain area to sit on. Two large load-bearing walls create the primary form of the structure, with a cantilevered, sloped roof to protect the hut from light rain. The materials are renewable and local, such as the reused timber in the meditation hut walls. To acco-modate the user’s needs, the main medita-tion area is built with only two walls, both of which cantilever out to the shore. The user is welcome to utilize screens in the hut for privacy, or to keep the area completely open, with views looking out to the beach or the peninsula. Additionaly, the user may decide meditation is done on the beach - s/he can conveniently walk down the ramp. As human beings are diverse, they methods of medita-tion vary. A hut that adapts to the user, is essential.

URBAN INFILL PROJECTCOMMON GROUNDS + RESIDENCES ON WALNUTADVISOR: CARL LEWISDOWNTOWN CHAMPAIGN, IL2008

GLASS BOX REVISITED to create a mixed-use, urban infill space while acknowledging the site’s historical context is a challenge to ar-chitects. this project is intended to create a contemporary market/coffee shop and residence building while still relating to the buildings surrounding it. floors are stacked organically, as if the structure undergone major renovations, similar to its adjacent counterparts. a somewhat organized grid - but never fully achieved - system is em-ployed, relating back to champaign-urba-na, illinois’ historical conflict with popula-tion growth. finally, this project employs contemporary green techniques to create a future-forward building, contrasting with structures found in downtown champaign.

THE PALLET HUTADVISOR: LYNNE DEARBORNBUSEY WOODS, URBANA, IL2009

MATERIAL REUSE the pallet hut is designed to respond with the nature while reusing hu-man waste and materials. the hut utilizes a non-load bearing, pallet enclosure system to provide shelter while being economical and enviornmentally friendly. reused steel columns provide adequate bearing for the hut and the butterfly roof. a rainwater col-lection system provides irrigation for crops and portable drinking water. finally, the building’s formal character mimicks dead an fallen trees in the surrounding site, remind-ing us to be good stewards with nature.

URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT COUNTRY FAIR MARKETADVISOR: LYNNE DEARBORNCHAMPAIGN, IL2009

NEW MIDWEST URBANISM this project was a large urban planning project that dealt with revitalizing an existing shopping area in champaign, IL. the program required a mixed use plan, with offices, residential and shopping in one large block. A requirement for this project included detailing the plans for the southwest corner commercial/residential building.

the most prominent feature of this project is the use of green pathways for bikes and pedestrians. intended to be bike and pedestrian safe area, speeding is controlled with energy generating speed bumps in the central thorough-fare. a movie theatre in the northwest building, shopping and residences surround the core of this plan - the inter-section between curve and line. the site concludes with a lake open to the public.

cHOTELCHICAGO ARCH 475 CAPSTONE PROJECTADVISOR: JOHN STALLMEYERCHICAGO, IL2009A CELL WALL MODEL the capstone studio is a comprehensive studio that focuses on the design of one building, integrating and incorportaing all systems of the design into one semester.

as a boutique hotel, the structure resembles the order and rigidity of a plant cell, while maintaining a character of its own. a rectangular, grid pattern gives both a highly efficient program and building. the lounge and bar space is an ideal place to meet new friens or old acquaintances and have visitors have the option to eat outside at the curb or in a seculded backyard.

cHOTELCHICAGO contains features that help make it an efficient and structurally sound building. these include:

- greywater recycling system to reduce the amount of water required in a typical hotel setting

- three vertical gardens, two on the west and east side of the building facade, and a third containing unique planters

- solar pv cells above that reduce electricity usage of approximately 20-25 percent- green roof to keep the building cool while providing a pleasant environment- regular, 22’ x 22’ structural grid for easy assembly- structural and decorative columns in groups of 1-4 with skylights exposing the center of

some of these groups- a waffle slab-like ceiling in the ground floor to provide both structural and aesthetic

qualities to the space- a back-ventilated facade for the guest rooms to keep the room well-insulated and to

provide shading during critical months

CRASHADVISOR: THERESE TIERNEYCHAMPAIGN, IL2010

VISUALISING INFORMATION contemporary architectural theory is increasingly look-ing to video and animation to describe new processes. using time-based artis-tic formats is now an indispensable tool for architects engage in an increasingly complex and multi-faceted world.

this project asked to document the movie CRASH and translate into a nota-tion familiar to the author. each panel is 12 in x 12 in and provides a documenta-tion of the movie under three schemes: character, place and time/stress.

the panels can be rearranged in any or-der, resulting in a different way of read-ing this notation.

the following is work not done in any studio course but demonstrates drawing and technical skill.

this page displays a hand drawn, pho-torealistic detail of a building detail and a group lighting project, including hand calculations and selections for an appro-priate electric lighting scheme based on primary functions of the space.

the following page is an exercise of ex-ecuting construction documents of a large scale building using Autodesk Revit. throughout the semester, the class was synchronised with the project so that students could directly apply knowledge taught in the class and into workable documents.

CITY_FLOW is a mixed-use development in Chicago, Illinois.In lighting the project, our group focused on different spac-es for the building: eating, sleeping, shopping, and parking. Each of these functions require a discrete lighting program to facilitate its use.

In designing these spaces, a layering of lighting is imple-mented to create interesting spaces while highlighting a particular function.

The result is a lighting system for CITY_FLOW that highlights its architectural elements without dominating the space.
