GROUP EFFORTS | USC INTERNATIONAL HOUSE

GROUP EFFORTS | FALL 2020

The goal is not just to develop student housing but to create a student dwelling, which is more of a dialogue of physical structure and human activity. A relationship between the tangible and intangible aspects of housing. Different cultures have different forms of home that is a product of long-lasting diffuse of knowledge shared by all for all. Thus the model becomes a result of the collaboration of many people across periods of time. The International House celebrates individuality, differences, collaboration, and expression. The project aims to provide a framework to re-focus back onto the individuals who make up the international house instead of hiding them behind a singular face.

SITE EXPOSURE TO SURROUNDING CONTEXT

SITE ENGAGEMENT OF EXISTING

The Site is located on an important corner of USC Village that is not only a major intersection but across from a main campus entrance. The site now is an empty lot with a bisecting sidewalk making its only use a transient one. With the intervention of the proposal the site becomes highly visible at the intersection coming from all directions and will thus become a symbol of the entrance to campus, but also a obvious place for people to meet or gather.

The two streets that border the site are heavily used in both vehicular traffic and pedestrian/bikers. The proposal starts to engage the existing movement corridors by pushing and pulling on the site edges to give more space where more people are likely to be as well as starting to create buffers from the busy streets to create a more pleasant plaza environment without disconnecting it completely from the visual of the street or campus.

EXPLODING AXON ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM

The Phrase “Kit of Parts” is used to describe the assembly as a way of expressing the opportunities for the residents to give more identity to their own units. Usually in student housing the only way of self expression is by what posters you put on the walls.

In this proposal there is a lightened scaffold that extends out of the main structure to provide a depth for balconies to exist between causing them to read more primary in the assembly . The balconies then become a space for students to use and manipulate how they desire. The addition of a operable screen provides an additional layer for students to control privacy, and sunlight, but also contributes to the overall reading of the building and the dynamic change in the perception of the building over the time of the day.

GROUP EFFORTS | FALL 2020

The introduction of adaptable scaffolding in the public space begins to challenge the traditional, building and plaza urban adjacency. The idea is that plaza and building conflated-one produces the other. The function and perception of the building is not a singular identity but one that is flexible and changes over time for what is needed or desired.

The incompleteness of the building is to help users connect to their environment through its porous boundaries, less rigid and more engaging. The incomplete invites appropriation and misuse, and open to multiple interpretations. This also provides more transparency in the public areas to encourage curiosity and connect visually across the site and campus.

VILLA - LAGO DI GARDA | SPRING 2020

Design 8 is the final studio of undergrad and it was used to study, understand, and engage through rigerous modes of inquiry the meaning of dwelling. We developed two seperate priavte homes, a Palazzo and a Villa. The contrast focusing on their context. Through formal transformations, metaphor, and material we shaped spaces to further our understanding of what it means to dwell in either of these contexts.

DESIGN BUILD- PLAYGROUND FOR SATCHELS PIZZA

Satchel’s Pizza had been burned down by a fire affecting much of the playground outside as well. When Re-opening we were given the opportunitity to design and rebuild the new playground while also using as much recylced materials as possible. The intent of the project was to design not a typical playground with swings and a slide, but create spaces and zones that would enaged with the senses of the children to play and become interactive with the architecture and while providing a safe place to play.

ONE PENN PLAZA

31

Engaging in New York City, the two projects set to explore how we design vertical interventions while responding to the urban context. We set to investigate the opportunity of creating more dynamic and engaging public spaces and environments in both the towers themselves but also in the hinge of how they expand into and out of the ground plane. The exploration into how we can move the public realm up off the street and into more elevated positions helped mold the spaces we created in the towers.

How do we take the architectural landscapes painted by artists, such as Monet, and transform them into the built urban enviornment?

The physical spaces we live in, work in and play in have a profound impact on our culture and social fiber.

FILTERED MEDIUM | SPRING 2021

FILTERED MEDIUM | LA MED-HIVE

40

Situated at the north end of the Crenshaw Corridor, at the intersection of the Crenshaw and Expo light rail lines, in an area and community with a noticeable deficit in parks and open public spaces, Filtered Medium is a Medical-Hive that serves as a health clinic, medical training hub, community center, and park. The project takes the traditional park and building relationship and forces an interaction between them; a conflation of one into the other.

POROSITY & DIVISION

INVASION &

DISPLACEMENT

The park landscape itself becomes a medium of thoroughfare and destination, filtering how people move across the site and transition from the corridor to the smaller scale of the domestic pastoral. Designed as a series of interlocking porous volumes that, allow light, air, and green space to filter through the building, the landscape displaces the more formal programs of the project to create new opportunities of interaction and networks between them.
