A HOUSE DIVIDED Design 1 (Fall 2021) | A House Divided was developed for a client seeking a family home and an in-law residence. To achieve this, I designed three distinct yet harmonious structures converging around a terrace that complements the ocean view. The shared design element of slanted roofs across all three buildings aims to maximize natural sunlight within each building. Additionally, each structure features its own ground level, supported by the structural foundation of the building.

Design 2 (Spring 2022) | The initial grid, conceived to embody symmetry, underwent a transformative process as anomalies were introduced. The integration of diverse floors was instrumental in establishing hierarchical elements, with the structure and walls permeating throughout the entirety of the architectural composition.

Process of Grid

Roofs

Using the grid, along with two anomolies, I was able to create three floors that consist of double height spaces and a an assortment of wide open space with great site lines within each floor.

GRID PROCESS

MIES MEMORIAL MUSEUM Design 2 (Spring 2022) | This project is located at ITT in Chicago, Illinois, across from Mies' iconic Crown Hall. Meant as an homage and a contribution to the legacy, the Crown Hall heavily influences my structure. Through strategic placement and orientation, convey a sense of protection, support, and paying tribute to the Crown Hall. This approach seamlessly integrates it into a broader architectural narrative, emphasizing historical and cultural significance within the design scheme

With an entrance under shade, a dark exterior and bright interior was used to resemble the Crown Hall. The interior is to feel welcoming inside the wide open floor plan of the project.

Establishing a grid based on the existing site and introducing anomalies within the grid to generate novel structures and pathways.

MASSING PROCESS Leveraging the newly established grid, I extruded mass and then executed cutting and dividing while adhering to the grid.

Simultaneously, I crafted a new pathway by integrating the grid and by offsetting from the newly created mass.

A BUS STOP IN MOTION Design 3 (Fall 2022) | Inspired by the concept of movement and speed, this project revolves around the themes of waves and unity. The design embodies the stillness of a frozen wave, with the blue color symbolizing tranquility and the ocean. As the wave concept crashes, it converges at the bottom, forming a unified structure that serves as seating for waiting guests.

Concept PROCESS/CONCEPT

Deprived by the concept of a frozen wave, the initial structure embodies the motion. The second structure, however, introduces a repetition that converges towards the end, unifying at the seating area.

The design is completed with a polyester covering, providing protection against adverse weather conditions.

Flexible Polyster and Plastic

Secondary Structure (6” x 6” Steel)

AEROSPEED AVIATION MUSEUM

Roofs

Design 3 (Fall 2023) | Amidst the complexities of train tracks, Yamato Road, and a canal, the triangular site posed a distinctive challenge. Embracing this geometry, the design for the Aviation Museum in Boca Raton seamlessly captures the theme of motion in static form, synthesizing site constraints with architectural expression. The museum stands as a testament to the fusion of site responsiveness and the thematic exploration of motion within Boca Raton's aviation Concept heritage.

Design 4 (Spring 2023) | Situated in the lively Mizner area of Boca Raton, adjacent to the amphitheater, the selected site is densely populated. My architectural project aims to contribute significantly to this community by becoming a multicultural museum. The tower, influenced by deconstructivism, serves as a repository of diverse cultural narratives characterized by intricate geometries and dynamic forms of deconstructivism. Its substantial scale acts as both a protective shield and a grand architectural statement.

It seeks to offer a cultural haven while making a bold presence in the urban fabric, embodying communal generosity and architectural innovation.

Process The dramatic transformation between the diagrams reflects deconstructivism, involving the deconstruction of the massing structure and creative reconstruction to redefine the building.

Design 4 (Spring 2023) | Embarking on the redesign of a local Palm Beach County Fire Station, I aimed to address the essential needs of the firefighters while introducing architectural enhancements. Informed by the principles of Deconstructivism, the massing underwent a significant transformation, resulting in an architecturally pleasing and functional structure. The design draws inspiration from organic architecture, utilizing robust materials such as concrete and brick.

These materials not only provide a protective shell against external elements but also contribute to the organic and dynamic aesthetics of the fire station, harmonizing strength with architectural appeal.

CHAIR DESIGN Digtial (Fall 2022) | Inspired by Frank Gehry's Wiggle Chair, my chair project blends wood and steel to create a visually dynamic piece. The modular design allows for easy extension by adding more wood and steel, promoting sustainability. The chair's curved form serves both ergonomic and aesthetic purposes, echoing Gehry's philosophy of merging form and function in design. This project represents a synthesis of architectural principles and artistic expression in furniture design.

PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE Structures (Spring 2023) | The design of the pedestrian bridge considers a transition from a sandy base to crossing a small stream onto a rocky road. This structural approach meticulously addresses the construction of the entire bridge, taking into account the varying terrains and elements encountered along its span.
