The development of Downtown Tucson has to have an incremental, small scale, block by block, site by site nature to succeed.

The unique settings in which the city occurs, must not be ignored, but consciously acknowledged.

The proposed Museum of Contemporary Art aims to reconciliate the urban fabric of Downtown Tucson with the natural setting in which it exists.

Two main volumes create a focal point in the building that bring awareness to the most prominent visual aesthetics of the Sonoran Desert; the sky and the earth (biodiversity).

The massing of the two volumes, accentuates the desire to strengthen the dynamism of the city core, welcoming the pedestrian activity into the Museum.

The waffle slab floor structure allows for big spans and open spaces for exhibition.

It also allows for space for ligthing and mechanical systems.

Parallel lines in both buildings carry throughout the structure to form the triangular waffle slab, allowing longer spans.

underground mechanical rooms feed two vertical shafts that consequently provide the mechanical needs for each floor; building component activation and mechanical ventilation.

thick insulated concrete walls work together with two solar chimneys to create desirable conditions. the solar chimneys create a vacuum effect sucking the cooled air from the underground courtyard and shaded slanted walls into each floor.

a concrete ramp responds to the dissolution of the ground level in the exterior. inside the buildings, the main vertical circulation path is on the west volume feeding the other part through bridges. both buildings have emergency stairs.

Endicott College Physical Plant Beverly, MA 2011 Assistant Designer

To better relate the built form to my overall design concept – the prismatic form – my exploration was threefold: light, material , and the geometric manipulation of form.

New conditions should highlight the concrete form and grid, thus light folds and pattern best complement the existing structure.

Lift roof to and create clerestories to add light & volume in important central spaces that otherwise would be without daylight.

Level 1 is human scale while above levels are to the urban scale.

The prism infinitely refracts light and distorts visual perception. What captures our attention is not the prism hanging above us, but the brilliant hues we notice on the floor, at which point our attention is turned to the mysterious origin of the light .

Atrium joins north and south exhibits & circulation

The Outreach and Exhibit Space for Taliesin is an opportunity to create a unique cultural extension of our micro-community at Taliesin West in a large public context. Both the unattractiveness of the physical site and the building program encourage the design to be focused inwardly, that is, on the experience of the user inside the building. In particular, the building will manipulate the user’s perception of the exterior surroundings, while sculpted prismatic forms and quality of light will direct interior views and circulation through clearly organized spaces.

AIAS Vice President 2011-2012 AIAS President 2012-2013 Project Overview: This was a proposal for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northwest Tucson. We were given the program of a sanctuary/worship space, a social hall, and a learning center. The site had prominent views of the Catalina Mountains to the northeast and to the greater Tucson area, as well as the Tucson Mountains to the southwest. The main worship space looks down over the city of Tucson - connecting it with the greater community of the city in which this church is based. The social hall opens up to the Catalina Mountains towards the northeast - blending indoor and outdoor space with large glass rotating doors.

The congregation gave no hierarchy to the sanctuary nor the social hall. They were together important to the community of the congregation. Therefore, they are given equal importance in this proposal. The main spaces - of worship and social functions - are of rammed earth construction and their supporting spaces are constructed of light weight steel and infill wall panels. The worship space and social hall are connected together by a common meeting area and courtyard space. This outdoor gathering area is a part of the main entry sequence, a blending area for worship and social events, and a main axis for the church complex. A similar construction of rammed earth, light weight steel construction, and a metal mesh skin system wrapped around the buildings as protection for the harsh sun, as well as creating a common language along the site.

Grand Ave South Habitat House Springfield, Ohio Habitat for Humanity houses need to be affordable, not necessarily luxurious. This model is cheaper than the current cookie-cutter model and tries to incorporate style and versatility while not being obnoxious to the neighborhood in which it sits.

The house fits into the neighborhood because it is a double height gable. In addition, the Butler Building framing system ties it to Springfield’s base industry.

+

One wall will act similar to a garage door to let the occupants move their private movable pod outdoors or to modify their private space according to family size and lifestyle. The tops of the pods can be occupied. Heating is accomplished by a radiant slab and cooling is taken up by hopper windows on the walls and louvres in the roof.

Horizontal and Vertical orientation of Curtain Wall Skin is interchangeable depending on siting or proximal conditions

Frame can grow to accomodate family size, entry/exit porch, etc

Project One: The Cleansing space, Taliesin West Campus, Scottsdale, AZ. Foundation Design Studio, First Box Project, Spring 2011.

The Cleansing Space was a project assigned for my first studio project as a Taliesin student. The program called for a new locker room facility to be designed for the historic campus. The building needed to be designed outside of the historic core and required separate areas for both the men and women students of the school. The project also required a student lounge and utility area. My goal was simple. 1. design something different and 2.design something inspired by the site. I chose the oranges from the grove as inspiration.

FRONT ENTRY

SITE SECTION

This was my Third and most recent Box Project. The program I designed called for an empty, Downtown site to be utilized for a building that would house a bar and restaurant as well as parking. This project allowed me to learn a lot as I needed to research kitchen, bar and seating layouts. I also needed to research the systems in which would be required o help these areas operate smoothly. My biggest challenge of this project was that it is located within the historic district of Dover, DE. This means that the building would have to adhear to the brick style in which it would be located, yet I tried to attempt some modern touches working with the soldiered brick system on the exterior walls.

A private dwelling was to be designed taking into account the users and the site. The design had to respond to two adults, two young children, and an elderly adult who primarily uses a wheelchair. To the south of the site is a landmark mountainside and to the north is downtown Tucson as well as the rest of the city.

The concept of this design was to sink the home into the ground to lessen its visibility from passersby as well as to orient the dwelling towards the mountain and nature. A separation from the city.

primary theater_”flexible thrust stage”

longitudinal section looking west

The complex was designed to be highly experimental and to promote technology and exploration within the theatrical arts. This was primarily accomplished through the “flexible thrust” stage configuration of the primary theatre, where the stage was broken up into a series of 10 x 10 platforms of hydraulic lifts. This allows the stage to take an infinite number of configurations and levels.

The experience of the patron was broken down into three parts: the approach, the arrival, and the act, each being an experience of going to the theatre. The approach is defined by the articulation of the fragmented stage across the facade of the building and the landscape. The arrival is articulated by the sculptural staircase that brings the theatergoer from the street up into the primary space.

Finally, the act is the theatre itself, which acts as an ever changing set piece. site plan
