The new School of Architecture building is a building that not only represents the architecture students but the entire campus. This new tower and the new plinth, connects to the surrounding while having its own unique elements. The tower and the plinth have a couple of concepts that have made the basis of this project.
Axonometric 01 School of Architecture Cal Poly Pomona, Pomona
The first concept is the materiality of the tower. The tower consists of 3 different materials (glass, concrete, and metal) which creates a unique facade. The glass and concrete are used for exterior skin of the building and the metal is used for structural materials. The second concept is the circulation that wraps around the building. This circulation path starts from the second level to the roof level, con necting each floor. There are also pathways on the plinth roof that lead to this main circulation. The third concept is the use of extrusions. Each level has different types of extrusions made from the facade which creates an unique interior space for each floor. The plinth also contains this element, having many extrusions for each program. Lastly, the plinth has a concept to block the east side of the building and allow full access through the northwest side where the Japanese garden is. This deliberate connection with the garden and the building creates the connection between the site and the plinth. With these different concepts, the tower and plinth aims to show the idea of how architecture is always moving forward but at the same time, looking back in time. The different types of materiality, the exposure of the structures, the extrusions, and circulations makes the building very iconic and at the same time, makes the plinth a connected, relaxing space.

Lastly, this project has a dedicated circulation bay at the far end of the building. This circulation is not only created for simple movement but is created as another quality of the building. The circulation leads to a dramatic ending where the two different types of gallery on the top floor.

02 Museum of Japanese Contemporary Art
Axonometric
This project “The Japanese Museum of Contemporary Arts” is located at Little Tokyo, Los Angeles and is about 20,000 square feet big. The new museum has several different concepts that dictate this museum including the connec tion of the museum to its surroundings, the different lighting effects and its special circulation. To connect the museum to the site location, an extended plaza was created to connect the flow of the people. This allows the people to go through the museum without actually entering it and gives the people a glance of what they might see in the museum. Throughout the museum there are several openings on the top of the muse um, allowing light to pass through the different rooms. There is a very thin bay on the roof with one of them being louvers to allow light into the museum. The atrium is another source that allows lighting to enter the plaza region below.

Model of Origin of Museum
Origin of Museum Axonometric Original Idea of New Museum
The idea of this museum came from a planear exercise where they were combined in differ ent ways to create unique spaces. The spaces consist of perpendicular planes and diagonal planes which intersect to each other. Some of the spaces are open, some of the spaces are closed, and some are even connected to other spaces to create longer and taller spaces. This also creates space for lighting which is very crucial when making a space more adventurous.

First Year Fall 2020 This project is an abstract building which focuses on spatial differ ences, simple circulation, and case study materials. It also focuses on materials where lighting effects change due to it. Each architectural building has its own unique space and circulation which is created from its usage and want. To connect each room, this project inserts a spiral staircase that surrounds the rooms. A part of the stair (double stair portion) is taken from a case study project Vitrahaus which was created by Herzog & de Meuron. The steep side consists of an area where people can either use it for circulation or to sit and rest. The exterior facade is also taken from a case study project, Sunny Hills, which was created by Kengo Kuma. The exceptional wood framing creates its own unique space inside and a very unique look to the building on the outside. When the lights pass through these wooden frames, it casts a shadow in the interior that creates a for est-likeAxonometricfeeling.

05 New Library First Year Spring 2021
This new library at Cal Poly Pomona is located at the open space near building 7 (architecture department). This building is connected to the architecture department though the plaza which is a space for circulation and for students to gather at. This new library focuses on the usage of the interior walls that separate each space, the big open spaces that creates an open feeling, and the use of the exterior facade. The walls located at the interior of the library are used for structural support, circulation, and the separation of various spaces inside. As of circulation, the middle wall contains a stair and elevator inside, connecting the entire building into one. Moving onto the big open spaces, there are spaces two or three story high to create con nections and an open feeling throughout the library. The exterior facade contains a slanted wall made of concrete to create a more quiet and isolated environment in cer tain areas of the library. In areas that are closer to the ground, the glass walls are placed to create the connec tion between the people inside and outside. Lastly, lighting is another big feature in this project. In rooms such as the exhibit and cafe, they are lit up with a vast amount of light coming from the roof of the building, providing most of the lights. Because most of the lights are created from above, the side of the building is mostly made of solid material that limits the lights’ access.

The interior of the library contains a very unique idea. The main five walls in the library not only function as place holders for stacks but are also used to separate spaces, create circulations, and to create resting spots as well as big holes for connections. With this, the program has various different shapes of spaces which is reflected from the amount of space wanted in each place. The circulation of this library is not only simple but creates a vision of the flow of people going through the library for various reasons. The simple circulation allows each person to get to their destination easily and creates a comfortable space for all people.
