SHORT STATEMENT The UIC Architecture program dismantled the idea I had of what Architecture meant. Generically, I perceived architecture to be anything to do with buildings, but overtime my perspective expanded.

One thing for certain is that studying architecture reinforced my abilities to combine the strongest aspects of my personality; a captivation with functional art and design, arrangements of light and space, eagerness to solve practical problems, and collaborating with collegues.

EPHEMERAL ELEMENTS Abstracted from Richard Neutra’s “Richter House” its living room allowed for the exploration of the interior, its elemernts and what constitutes to the definition of a “room”. In this configuration, furniture was injected to shift the boundaries of rooms to create awkward moments Curtains played a structural role in Neutra’s living spaces; here, curtains became ephemeal obects whose identities change once they’re interacted with, loose folds are active, whereas tight folds cause conflict with other elements it comes in contact with, yet its integrity is never compromised.

UNTITLED: A study on the Chicago Frame

GROUND PLAN

Introduced to the Chicago frame; this studio uncovered the nature of frame from Colin Rowd’s essay “The Chicago Frame”. The organizational and compositional possibilities in this study allowed for the displacement of the common colunm to create new spaces in its diagonal spaces and to create an abnormal experience in a building with such a frame.

SWISS CHEESE

This studio explored territory, how a certain landscape can contextualize architecture and its infrastructure.

The I&M Canal was a catalyst into Chicago’s revolutionary growth mid 19th century; it once was the longest canal in all of America and an engenireering phenomenon in its hayday. As the canal runs through multiple suburbs; Channahon allowed for the exploration of a community center that connects the south side of the canal that includes parks and recreation to the north side that contains industrial facilities.

Swiss Cheese was derived from the Rolex Learning Center in Switzerland; the pockets in its design transfered into the community center and allowed for a prominent emphasis in the natural landscape. Each building was allocated for different activities for locals and visitors alike; this project achieved to act as a belt that links two sides of a single town by providing an extensive space for a community to interact with a bygone corridor.

CLOUDY THINGS This study was an exploration on vertical things, were we took these vertical elements of our Architecture building & chose a unit to stamp within a 9 square grid. The chosen unit was then organized in the grid and modified; clustered and short elements acted as furniture and they grow in height and aperture. This space orients itself without the influence of external factors; the columns in this unit arbitarily interject in between the cloud-like-wall, becoming elements that interrupt circulation.

Oblique enCore A strip of 48 x 48 work spaces is interrupted by oblique angular exterior walls; The deep caves within the line allow for visitors and residents to meander through and interact in the crevices. The structural integrity of the work structure lies in the parallel core that runs through the rooms serves as the nucleus for utilitatiran spaces for the intended user.

The core becomes the parti but also a transitory apertures between vestibule through the south entrance and the work spaces in the north.
