All Day And All Of The Night This mass housing unit began as a study model, stacking blocks with operations.

The operation vibrate gave off a punk rock attitude, with the idea of a guitar amplifer vibrating the the blocks off balance. The disorder led to orderly massing units to balance the slanted floors and roof. Void and mass work together, the voids are for the residents and community, designed for interactive installations and climbing. The building structure and facade include concrete, steel, and glass fibre reinforced concrete. The facade works as a viel covering the mass and exposing the voids.

The MusWic Building The Music Building is a cultural center with an urban plaza, public library, interactive media, gallery, and concert hall. The building sits at the edge of downtown San Diego. The Music Building encourages San Diegians to sit, play at the urban plaza, or enjoy live music on the open air stage that is a man made hill built into the first two floors of the building. The concert hall sits at the top of the building with an oblique angle, the concert hall stares back at the city as the city stares at the building.

03 Clustering Neighborhood The Clustering neighborhood is based off the Peruvian case study Previ. The goal was to design a neighborhood that could expand as the family grows.

The dwellings all have a live-in work space that brings an economy to the neighborhood. Since the workspace is open to the neighborhoods, there are no front or backyards, instead each dwelling has a central courtyard with screened privacy.

04 Sketchnoting History of Architecture As classes were held online every assignment was digital, but Professor Mariateresa Aiello brought a spark of joy to this online class by assigning “sketchnotes”. A picture is worth a 1000 words, rather than read the textbook and try to find the words to explain the historical buildings, we had the opportunity to listen, synthesize, and share with the class. This assignment pushed me to finish a notebook from beginning to end, at the end of the quarter I completed 50 sketchnotes that hold more value to me than any class notebook to date.

05 Ceramic Pottery The tableware documented was made at Palomar College in the beginning ceramics class spring 2022. This is my first year working with clay, now that I understand the basics of the morphology of clay my goal is to make sculptural vessels and learn surface design. Tableware has become an infatuation, designing a building a functional object in a matter of minutes, firing the clay, and eating or drinking from the objects brings me pure joy.

06 36 Days of Type 36 Days of Type is a project that invites designers, illustrators and graphic artists to express their particular interpretation of the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet.

A yearly open call exploring the creative boundaries of letterforms, where participants are challenged to design a letter or number each day for 36 consecutive days, as a global and simultaneous act showing the outcome of the ability to represent the same symbols from thousands of different perspectives.​​​​​​​

Introduction This was my first time participating in this challenge and I really enjoyed being apart of it. I met a lof of great designers and let loose during the design process. This project gave me the creative freedom to practice my 3d modeling and illustrating skills. It was a challenge completing the 36 days while working on my academic work but it was worth it. I can’t wait to challenge myself for next year of 36 days of type.

Thank you.
