The question of “How do we remember?”, in relation to historical racial injustices, is analyzed through looking at monuments in America’s public spaces. The course of the semester was spent engaging with the community of a previously segregated New Orleans park, proposing a hypothetical monument on the space that acknowledges this history, and finally holding an exhibition to showcase the findings.

A new point of interest is created within the overall city, with two different approaches to night and day.
In the day, the pavilion is a white abstract beacon to the plaza. In the night, it stands as two linear strips of light, bringing attraction to the square and marking its entry.
CHANGING THE NARRATIVE OF THE PLAZA
All elements join in union to create both porousity and solidity at different moments, with the lightness of the column balancing an opaque space that one can occupy above.

The material palette consists only of provided wood and thin metal as structural stair support. The delicacy of materials is paired with a boldness of stark white color contrast in the urban setting.

The Concentrico festival explores the possibilities of a temporary pavilion installation that reimagines a public square in Spain. The design proposes to filter the space of the square, creating an interstitial entry space within the from the street, as well as a second experience where the city is meant to be percieved only through the intentional viewing of the sky and building roofs nearby,

The pavilion proposes an interjection to the plaza through the creation of abstract space that both defines the plaza boundary, and lends a new perspective to the site around it.

Material Process Research
investigation of local material extraction, usage, and reusage
The research focuses on the ever-relevant topics of design for dissassembly, material extraction, lumber offcut usage, and assisted migration; and how these processes can contribute to sustainable construction. The knowledge gathered culminates into a hypothetical reimagination of the RIOS building facade and courtyard in Los Angeles, implementing all the processes into one synthesized design.

As urban environments face increasing housing shortages, the concept of a cohousing community with sharable amenities is posed; the proposal offers a community centered around sustainable agriculture cultivation and culinary practices. Community farms varying in privacy form the basis of the proposal and emerge an environmentally conscious lifestyle in the residential New Orleans community.

Thesis Preparation
The semester begins with a deep investigation into Le Corbusier’s Unite D’Habitation as a project following an architectural thesis of urban living as a highly efficient machine, looking at related projects, figures, and events. Thesis topics of interest are then investigated and researched, and the concept of the architectural threshold as a potential for the reimagination of community interaction between the domestic and the urban is explored for a future thesis.

Architecture is most successful when an integration of exterior and interior, and what defines the threshold between the two, is explored and the concept of an enclosure is experimented with Architecture within today’s rapidly changing society and environment must reconsider the value of temporary architecture and re-evaluate the present notion that all buildings are designed to be permanent. Rather, the lifespan of the built environment should be acknowledged. Architectural Thesis Topics, Idea Mapping
