01 THE WEDGE APARTMENTS
PROF. AELIAN ARCHITECTURE 301 - STUDIO FIVE FALL 2021
EXPLORING LARGE-SCALE HOUSING USING MY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLSET OF HOUSING THAT I HAD DEVELOPED USING THE LOS ANGELES BUILDING CODES AND ZONING RULES. THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE SEMESTER, I WAS ENCOURAGED TO PUSH THE IDEA OF HOUSING AND UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF THE ARCHITECT IN SMALL-SCALE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CLIENT AND LARGE-SCALE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY, PEOPLE, AND SOCIETY.

BEGINNING WITH THE CREATION OF A WALLPAPER WHICH WAS IMPLEMENTED INTO ALL THE PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER. I WOULD USE THIS WALLPAPER AS A SKIN AND INSPIRATION FOR MY INITIAL FOUR-UNIT DESIGN. ONCE THE INITIAL FOUR UNITS WERE ESTABLISHED I ORGANIZED AND ARRANGED THEM INTO A FORM THAT COULD FIT ONE HUNDRED UNITS ON THE LONG NARROW DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES SITE.

PROF. JONES ARCHITECTURE 302 - STUDIO SIX SPRING 2022
ON THE SOUTH JETTY AT MARINA DEL REY WE WERE TASKED WITH DESIGNING A SCIENCE LAB AND EDUCATION CENTER MADE OF STEEL WHICH WAS THEN ENTERED INTO THE 2022 ACSA STEEL COMPETITION. INSPIRED BY THE SITE’S OIL FIELD HISTORY OUR PRIMARY DESIGN FOCUS WAS EXAMINING HUMAN-CAUSED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT ADVERSELY INFLUENCE THE PROJECT SITE. THESE ARE TOPICS SUCH AS THE EFFECTS OF WATER AND AIR POLLUTION; AS WELL AS SEA-LEVEL RISE ON THE HABITAT AND WILDLIFE.

WESTLAKE THEATRE ARCHIVE
PROF. MARSHALL ARCHITECTURE 401 - STUDIO SEVEN FALL 2022
LOCATED IN MACARTHUR PARK, THIS HISTORIC SITE HAS GONE THROUGH MANY ITERATIONS. BEGINNING AS A THEATER, THEN A SPANISH MOVIE THEATER UNTIL IT WAS EVENTUALLY CONVERTED INTO A SWAP MEET. TOUCHING ON THE TWO PIECES OF HISTORY MY PROPOSAL ADAPTS AND REUSES THE EXISTING STRUCTURE OF THE THEATER WHILE ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO STILL HAVE THE SAME RIGHT OF SPACE AS THEY DID IN ITS TIME AS A SWAP MEET.
