The greenhouses is composed of an exoskeleton of steel girders arranged in a parallelogram geometry. The existing collections include the Tropic House, Cycad House, Subtropic House, Fern House, and Desert House.
The greenhouse sits into a hillside and mimics the curvature of the Mediterranean terraces, leading to the historical moat from old city fortications.

In a group of four, the intention of our expansion and adaptation was to provide a new botanical collection and program to give the existing project new life with current sustainable and bioclimactic approaches. We analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the project and provided a new expansion design. I was in charge of all drawings (unless stated otherwise). (Photo of new urban plan with expansion above.)

CORAL LENS: AN INTERACTIVE AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)
EXPERIENCE OF HAWAII’S CORAL REEFS
ADVANCED VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN STUDIO III
With this project, I have collaborated with masters students from architecture, visual communication, and industrial design in one semester in creating a project that can spread awareness on the increase in the bleaching of coral reefs. We decided to use accessible technology to bring corals and the education within to tourists.
The decals on the airport floors and the development of the AR experience are inexpensive investment compared to large banner advertisement. Coral Lens is designed to reach a broad audience including both adults and children.
CORAL LENS
Accessible Learning - The interactive nature of augmented reality breaks barriers to understanding complex ecological concepts -- making it more accessible to a wider audience.
Environmental Awareness and Conservation - The augmented reality component offers a firsthand glimpse into the underwater world of coral reefs, fostering a deeper connection and appreciation for these ecosystems.
Behavioral Change and Advocacy - The visual impact of the AR experience can inspire behavioral changes in these tourists, encouraging them to adopt more environmental friendly practices.
