Art and science of building Formation or construction resulting from a conscience act.

Mies van der Rohe said “God is in the details� I say Architecture is in the details and at the human scale.

It is through human interaction that Architecture is ever truely experienced.

Architecture should function, effect and affect, better the community and be accessable. It should never be superficial, nonfunctioning, post rationalized, faked, misrepresented or exclusive.

Design at its core should be pragmatic so that it is never overly theoretical or traditionally prescribed. Utilizing a lifetime of knowledge and experience to logically create design solutions that are specific to the requirements that also have a central design parti.

This will create a cohesive design from the smallest detail to the largest structure. In this way conception from the whole or from the parts is posible and the solution is both functional and conceptuall strong.

A creative cooperative commune.

Utilizing a vacant parking lot as the foundation for a multi-functional volume creative collaboration hub.

This first phase would be a stand alone office creative work space situated in the vast unused parking lot. Sitting above the ground as to not lose parking while also creating privacy and allowing easier passive cooling. The light weight structure and membranes create various textures within the numerous spaces. /Interior Perspective Looking North

Solar Decathlon

Model developed and used for scale model of the solar decathlon house. Model was used for display at the green build conference in san francisco, ca. The model of the frame had to be adjusted given the scale of the model. Hence the frame is not an exact match. As a result new ideas of the structure developed that would enable a stronger and stiffer structure to be achieved with less members.

A single family residence located in Pico Union. This home resides in a narrow lot and utilizes natural light as much as possible by breaking up the home into distinct volumes.

A simple geometry enables interest while keeping exposure to a minimum.

Standard building methods are employed and a mix of materials adds variety. A deck and green roof add exterior space misplaced by the house.

This scheme did not move foward for continued development, however, the need for further documentation was needed and felt as required personally. At the result of poor studio management, no documentation of the project was up to any standard I usually set. Hence, the need for clear basic documents describing the project in a method beyond a typical power point, the presentation method of choice. I developed the systems discribed here.

S1 Sail Dwelling Renders Presentation/ Promotion Renderings Solar Decathlon

Sail Dwelling is based on an idea of wind surďŹ ng sails as a means to provide shade for the home while being tied conceptually to a sunny California surf house.

Nissan was interested in sponsorship and therefore required renderings for a proposal. This Promotion rendering was done while on a work trip in Madrid attending the Solar Decathlon Europe.

P1 PIP Pneumatic House Solar Decathlon

Initial studies looked at hybrid systems that introduced tensegrity as a means of light efficient framing. This was how ever quickly dismissed as well as a dual state system where a positive pressure frame would be support for an envelope in vacuum. Production methods were also investigated.

The final house was not as purely pneumatic as first idealized.

However the envelope, floor and division of space was achieved with the pneumatic enclosure. /Front Elevation

F1 FReD Folding Residential Deployment Initial + Original Design Concept Solar Decathlon Collaboration with Leodan Castillo

The primary driver for this scheme was to create an easily transportable and deployable dwelling. Originally a more complex design with multiple moving parts and portions that slide vs fold.

Current scheme was simpliďŹ ed in order to bring the probable cost to something more reasonable and went with a version that was all folding in order to strengthen core concept of the design. /Exterior Photoshop Rendering

These drawings were part of a much larger set describing every attribute of the project and every system.

The project was presented to the directors of the school as well as the Caltech team and it’s advisors. From an engineering stand point it scored the highest than the other designs in competition for being developed.

This scheme was not chosen in effort of pursuing a pneumatic house that would eventually die off as the result of school politics.

TT1 Taipei Tower Initial Scheme Model Development Final Scheme Renderings for Oyler Wu Collaborative

Initial scheme development was based on a study model. Development took place over a couple months of which multiple iterations were completed and presented. Major portion of development was balcony rails and entry canopy. This ďŹ nal scheme was one of 3 presented and was adopted by the client and is now being developed and constructed. Renderings were also published on their website.

Canopy went through many iterations during development.

Using tubular steel, louvers, glass with frit and mesh to create a varied but minimal volume that would add great emphasis to the entry.

/Initial Scheme Rendering in Site

/Initial Scheme Notes

Railings were also another exercise that was continually developed until a type was settled on and three variations there of. The different railings were distributed based on its location and used.

All the development and modeling was done in maya and rendered in maxwell. The later half of the the development was spent ďŹ ne tuning textures and views.

Los Angeles is a city that has been developed over the past century around the personal automobile. In the beginning it was based on rail car stations. The first freeway was a converted bike way from Los Angeles to Pasadena.

The City for a brief moment was organized and developed around Public transit and non motorized forms of transit. Allowing the majority to navigate a decentralized city. A new network typology and infrastructure is required to transition the transit back to Public and non motorized forms of transport.

Functions at the various levels of incoming transit.

Union Station will be the start and Major hub of this new Transit Network Typology.

This new network forms that of an elevated bike/ walk way will encouragement motorized forms of transport and free streets of cars to enable the transition to dedicated lanes for public and shared transit. At the hub is an network of structures used to elevated program structures.

Great effort was made in trying to create a model base that would reflect an aspect of the project. Hence, a truss derived configuration that takes the structure of a truss and splits it. What looks very unstable is actually quite stable as a result of the welding.

This worked quite well with the project because of the implied structure and its seemingly unstable nature. The project itself was a large twisted truss frame that had a large cantilever.

Deciding to create a suprematism type minimal take on a method of displaying work.

/Clean Wall + Minimal Display

Usually people tend to fill the entire wall with large renderings. I decided against this and go in the opposite direction and choosing 12 very different types of work all showing a different skill and all the same size except one.

The frames are simple and use a mount that is similar to its construction that enables easy mounting and alignment. The wall was painted white as to not distract from the work.

RL1 Fiberglass Fiberglass Fabrication for Urbana

Rob Ley of Urbana was doing fiberglass fabrication work for a colleague of his and his second hand man needed assistance finishing up the fabrication work.

Helping finish the molds and preparing them for the fiberglass was first then the laying up all the fiberglass. After setting cutting and binding together was the last step.

Great learning experience on how to proper prep and lay fiberglass.

DENSE-MIX PROTOTYPES & STRATEGIES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY CITY

AGG & VOID - 01 6/22/2010 16:00:00

The contemporary city, it can be argued, is largely dekned by the shift between its center and periphery and by luctuations between density and sprawl. Tokyo, Los Angeles, Cairo, Mexico City and their constellations of suburbs are all quintessential examples. Indeed, this phenomenon is pervasive throughout the developed world and exempliked in the two standards of our housing fabric: urban towers and blocks, and detached single-family suburban tract homes.

Presently however, these typologies no longer relect the change in demographics and lifestyles that are characteristic of the twenty-krst century city. Therefore, instead of a single solution or object, we’re proposing a mosaic of urban strategies and spatial prototypes that are adaptable to various environments and circumstances, in the form of a user’s guide.

Variegated Mat-scape™

Dense-Mix Prototype for Palms, Los Angeles Variegation In an age where the contemporary domestic landscape is deÚned by different lifestyles and living arrangements, and where the nuclear-family is being supplanted by the post-nuclear or extended family, conventional forms of housing such as the dingbat and suburban tract house are rapidly becoming outmoded, raising critical questions about new models of urban housing.

SpeciÚcally, several questions emerge: How can contemporary and emerging forms of domesticity lead to strategies for producing programmatic identity and variation? What are ways of theorizing difference for a building type that’s often plagued by spatial uniformity and morphological sameness? And, how can we increase density yet at the same time amplify the resonance of spatial affect and experience.

Given this context as a background for research, our project for Dingbat 2.0 proposes a Variegated Mat-scape™ as a prototype for generating spatial, programmatic, and material variation. Not only is the idea of variegation intended to reÛect and index the diverse cultural mosaic that comprises Los Angeles (and more particularly the Palms neighborhood), but is also seen as a new typology—a building-landscape—that celebrates (and materializes) multiplicity and difference by re-envisioning the relationship

between interior and exterior space. Instead of the usual hierarchical building-object to ground relationship, we’re proposing a dense and diverse patchwork of volumes and surfaces that provides exterior green space for each resident as well as two larger “greens” for the community.

Density: Constant or Variable?

With a population of 45,475 people within an area of 1.9 square miles, the Palms district is not only one of the most demographically diverse but also has one of the highest densities (21,983 people per square mile) in the city. And, with the eventual arrival of the Metro Expo Line to the region these statistics will undoubtedly only increase. In spite of this the existing building fabric suffers from morphological sameness with a density coefÚcient that’s constant rather than variable. Therefore, in order to address the projected growth the Variegated Mat-scape™ employs a variable density gradient that ranges from one- and two-story units to four-story clusters, resulting in a higher density per block as well as greater differentiation in the scale of the neighborhood.

Aerial view looking northwest

we’re adopting a composite organizational strategy of grids and ladders: a nine square grid measuring 48 x 48 feet with minimal setbacks and zero lot lines in places, and, a “ladder” or Úshspine of 15 walk streets that traverse the block and provide access to the units. Parking is situated below grade and accessed by a series of air and light portals that are sprinkled across the site.

/Board One of Two Competition Submission, Placed 2nd

Morphologically, the new grid operates in the z-axis as well as the horizontal; individual units are made up of two to Úve 16 x 16 x 10 foot spatial modules plus a 225 square foot patio and/ or roof terrace. Ranging in size from 450 to 1125 square feet, these units are interlocked and arranged in various ways based on orientation and local adjacencies to conÚgure ten different unit types. Similar to Sol LeWitt’s 46 Variations on Three Different Types of Cubes or Steven Reich’s serial composition of looped and layered sounds for guitar, Electric Counterpoint, the endeavor is to produce a supple system that is a prototype and catalog of different spatial types, yet pliant enough to be recombined to adapt to local differences as well as the contemporary domestic landscape.
