Masters of Architecture

Statement

I am a student at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, where I am a M.Arch 1 candidate graduating in 2024. I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota, with a Bachelors of Design in Architecture degree and a focus in Public Interest Design.

SCI-Arc has taught me that there is more to architecture than what meets the eye. That creativity within design still exists and that we should not limit ourselves and our technology. As a designer I have learned that our current conditions and the past of our land are of the most importance as well as what we decide to do with it in the future. As architects and designers the future is in our hands and it is of our diligence to hold ourselves accountable. I will continue to follow my passions throughout architecture where design meets diversity and inclusion and the intersection between social justice and architecture.

Throughout this portfolio you will see selective project at SCI-Arc and Internship experience. This portfolio will contain works from Studio Courses, to Applied Studies Courses, Visual Studies.

- Producing architectural designs and/or work with other designers to develop designs as needed/if applicable

- Producing project related correspondence and reports

- Attending project meetings and providing follow-up support, including preparing meeting notes, agendas, action lists, reminders, and actions items

- Working directly with architectural and engineering colleagues and other professionals

-Project and team administration duties

India and her colleagues presented new design ideas between HOK and Arup to LAWA airports.

Rendering Diagrams

We began by remodeling Tom Bradley International. To show new development across the terminals. We began with site visits to TBIT, this led us to thinking of design related solutions to our remodel. We added in new technology, new organizational systems as well as new display communication signs. This would modernize TBIT as well as offer LAX customers a more seamless experience.

Part of internship also required us to spend time looking at how airports are currently designed as well as the future of airports with all passenger and employee types. The first diagram displays customer journey mapping for LAX employees, above ground and below ground employees. The second diagram displays where certain amenities can be found across LAX as a whole and how it may relate to a specific passenger type. This was later presented to Los Angeles World Airports as alternative solutions to airport organiza-

The Future of Shopping

Fall 2023 Third Year Vertical Studio: The Future of Shopping

Instructor: Elena Manferdini

Assistant Teacher: Eda Tarakci

Twill offers a novel and eco-friendly solution as a sustainable alternative to the conventional materials used in gold jewelry. Notably, the production of Golden Grass jewelry requires the expertise of licensed craftsmen, ensuring quality and authenticity. Twill proudly incorporates the fine craftsmanship that is often challenging to find in mass-produced jewelry.

As you step into a Twill store, you’ll discover an innovative and interactive shopping experience. Customers can peruse and purchase ready-made jewelry sets or digitally try on pieces through the use of augmented reality (AR) screens thoughtfully placed around the store. Throughout your visit, you’ll be guided and assisted by artisan craftsmen who are passionate about helping you make a selection that aligns with your style and values. This not only elevates the shopping experience but also empowers individuals to express themselves through a fresh approach to jewelry making.

In conclusion, Twill is a beacon of sustainability, ethical sourcing, and fine craftsmanship in the world of luxury jewelry. By embracing Golden Grass, a unique and biodegradable material, and prioritizing quality over quantity, Twill invites customers to explore jewelry in a new light, celebrating both individuality and eco-consciousness.

Brand Inspiration

The beginning of the semester included testing of brand inspiration. Twill is inspired by traditional South Asian Jewelry modernized into gold jewelry for all. Gold, a finite and precious resource, is extracted from the Earth, but this process significantly contributes to resource depletion. Gold mining, a crucial industry in the global economy, necessitates extensive excavation and the use of hazardous chemicals such as cyanide and mercury. Unfortunately, the consequences of gold mining often extend beyond its immediate scope, as it frequently results in the release of toxic substances into nearby water bodies, ultimately leading to water pollution and ecological damage.

02. 3D MODEL

Z BRUSH AND SCRIPTING

After choosing one mid journey image to work with we proceeded by creating 3d digital AR experiences using Adobe Aero. We began by sculpting the images in Z brush. Once sculpted we further broke down the images by scripting them using a JAVA Script. This script allowed for us to see the individual color pixels. This scripted image would later be used in a physical mirror. In the store twill this would be AR experience an individual may have. Using in store kiosks to explore new jewelry options that may look good on them.

Adobe Aero Experience

Twill

The site located at the existing Prada store on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles, California offers a new and unique shopping experience unheard of before. This new retail space reinvigorates the shopping experience by creating hands on memorable and instagramable shopping spaces.

Twill customers can browse, purchase and customize throughout the entire store. In many shopping spaces now. The lack of customization and personalization throws customer off. Many customers now a days are looking to purchase unique pieces to them. Twill offers custom pieces as well ready made pieces ready to purchase.

First Floor

Enter Twill, a high-end jewelry brand that has chosen to take a different path. Twill’s foundation is built upon the concept of Golden Grass, a native grass species that thrives in the

Brazilian landscape. This extraordinary material offers a fresh perspective on luxury jewelry, as it can only be cultivated and harvested during the cool months of September and November. This exclusivity adds a unique dimension to Twill’s products.

Golden Grass, a delicate flowering plant, exhibits a stunning metallic luster reminiscent of gold wire and gold products. However, it stands apart in a crucial way—Golden Grass is 100% biodegradable and does not need to be dyed. The skillful craftsmanship of weaving Golden Grass into intricate patterns showcases the delicate and meticulous work that goes Into creating Twill’s pieces, highlighting the intersection of artistry and sustainability.

The first floor of Twill offers a unique shopping experience with Golden Grass planted across the store so that individuals can see the product they are purchasing, woven walls, a large ramp facing the south end of the building that forces customers to experience the entire store, as well as selected glass areas for the customers to see what is happening in the basement.

Porous Monolith

Mexico City + Containers of Bigness

Spring 2023 DS 1121 Second Year: Architecture as Urban Design Studio

Instructor: John Enright, David Freeland, Darin Johnstone, Melissa Shin

Studio Instructor: John Enright AT: Leila Jhodadad

The Porous Monolith examines the a city within a city and the relationship of the between the cityscape and the surrounding environment. Through both the in-depth study of relevant examples and site research, models of formal, infrastructural, and ecological approaches to architecture’s interface with cities are considered and applied. The urban political, economic, planning, and ecology dynamic is all taken into consideration when planning the site forces.

These site forces are courtyards taken across the cityscape and reflected directly onto the building creating a porous yet monolithic building. The large structure is 14 stories tall, encompassing, undergraduate, graduate, administration, lectures halls, dormitories, fitness center, outdoor plaza space and lastly an additional program requirement being a day care center. Each piece of program incorporates the need of the community. This educational center reflects upon the existing and the needs of this growing population.

Split Kunsthalle

Design Studio: Comprehensive Design Studio

Fall 2022: DS: 1120 (2GB)

Instructor: Marcelo Spina, Devyn Weiser, Peter Trummer, Russell Thompson and James Piccone

Studio Instructor: Marcelo Spina and James Piccone

Partner: Kristen Anthony

A Split Kunsthalle is an addition to the Mass MoCA campus in North Adams, MA. The project centers on the programmatic conditions of a kunsthalle or “art shed” which is a non collecting institution that presents art on loan from other institutions or individuals. Re- engaging the local community is a key driver for the project and is reflected in the programmatic additions beyond just an art gallery. Additionally, the introduction of a “split” or “gap” creates flexible community programming in the center of the building that allows patrons to experience Mass MoCA from a new perspective.

Design Development

Spring 2023: AS 3122 (2GB)

Instructor: Scott Uiriu

Team Leads and Partner: Kristen Anthony and India Chand

Team for Design Development: Athene Ho, Kyle Jensen, Sevag Kourounian, Sean Keely

Design Development course is a cohesive understanding of how architects communicate complex building systems for the built environment and to demonstrate the ability to document a comprehensive architectural project and Stewardship of the Environment.

Kristen and India were one of 6 groups chosen to further develop their building from the previous semester. They led a group of four other team members.

Pan Out Animation

The form of our building began to take shape by rotating puzzles pieces. These puzzle piece rotations created areas of void, circulations and areas of programming.

Splitting the Form

After the form of the building was resolved. We began to lift the top floor from the bottom floor to create a split level called the “gap”.

The building form starts from the basic museum typology of the box and works to create a porous perimeter without destroying the iconography of that box. The porous perimeter is created by a series of rotations of pentamino puzzles designed by India and Kristen. Each rotation follows a rule set of rotating 15, 20 or 30 degrees. One the porous ground is created (forth diagram) an oblique element is introduced into the massing. One oblique would be the grand stair case and entrance, and the other will be the iconic skylight. Later a split is introduced that will elevate the art gallery above the raised highway and allows for open community space below that is visually linked to the horizon of the city.

The important concepts if this building were: Context, Community, Comfort, Calm, Character, Collect, Change

Inside the Gap

In this animation and series of stills, the gap can be used as any programmatic space needed during any time of season. In the winter months the operable doors can close which can keep warmth inside and still allow for the gap from the exterior of the building to look as if the gallery is floating above. In the summer months the operable doors can open to allow the public to walk right to the edge to look out at the neighboring Mass Moca buildings as well as sign. The Gap is meant to be a place that is ever changing with communicating needs and is able to with stand the test of time. There can be events held here, a larger venue space, an additional gallery space and more.

EMBODIED CARBON

Strategies to reduce embodied carbon footprint:

- Our biggest impact comes from the structural steel (Which is 1033,250 kg CO2eq/m3.) An Alternative Would be Cross Laminated Timber -77,688 kg CO2eq/m3.

- Originally we chose spruce as our flooring which we keep The same at an output of -164,830 kg CO2eq/m3.

- We would swap our EPS insulation Graphite 80 (1,111.0 kg CO2eq/m3.) For hemp insulation at the result of 490.4 kg CO2eq/m3.

-The aluminum framed windows which are currently at a GWP rate of 50,426.1 kg CO2eq/m3. Can be replaced With. Wood-aluminum framed windows with an embodied carbon Of 32,791 kg CO2eq/m3.

Lucky Strike

Visual Studies

Spring 2023 VS ( 2GB ): Wallpaper Studies

Instructor: Florencia Pita

Partner: Kristen Anthony

Lucky Strike takes a modern twist on wallpaper as we know of it today.

Traditional wall paper has been known to be detail accentuating a space and bringing it to like. Lucky Strike takes this and transforms it into a three dimensional space by adding ornateness and further defining the wallpaper. By looking at Armin Hofmann’s Graphic Design Manual and taking inspiration from the Paneled Rooms of the Art Nouveau , we created drawings, diagrams, and patterns.

By analyzing drawings and turning them into textured materiality. We moved from digital to physical by way of a CNC milling machine with a marker attached. This process merged graphic and material realms and created surface effects.

Continuing with these ideas of surface effects and imperfections, we developed ornaments that again, crossed the boundaries of digital and physical, precision and imprecision.

01. DIGITAL TO CNC TO CNC

Wallpaper Series of images shows the process of taking a perfect and rigid process and accepting the imperfections that were uncovered through the process of making. Many steps

By using Hoffman’s design principle we created wallpaper that was design off a 16 circle grid. These were later drawn with the CNC mill that would allow mistakes to occur instead of a precise documentation process. By tracing our original shapes and transforming them into a CNC mill we extruded the extracted geometry in order to create our three dimensional ornamates. We 3D printed these objects and vacuum formed. After vacuum forming we poured plaster into our molds in order to capture the fine details that were originally found in our 3d printed models. While attempting to remove the plaster from the molds we noticed there was a lot of detail we wanted to capture that had become lost due to the softness of the plaster. This added a great contrast to our wallpaper. As the ornament dried the ornament became extremely fragile, requiring extra attention to detail when attaching it to the wallpaper. Were redone in the design process in order to create our final product, which emphasized the inpercision versus the precision of digital modeling. The digital modeling process is not always what we expect, but can open us up to imperfections that may be wanted and can be accepted in the final result. Images taken with Kristen Anthony.
