05 THE FUTURE IS BEHIND US | HONOLULU
Honolulu has seen a tremendous loss in its historical agricultural identity due to urbanization practices.
Reflecting on the richness of Honolulu’s past agricultural system with the current design and planning of Honolulu’s Ala Wai watershed challenges us to rethink new strategies of implementing urban agricultural practices that raise indigenous knowledge while enhancing Honolulu’s resiliency. This master’s project formulates an urban design framework that can be applied towards specific spatial typologies within the Ala Wai watershed.
Understanding the indigenous agricultural practices of the Native Hawaiians along with what remains today is essential to charting a pathway forward.

SAN ANSELMO PARK | SAN ANSELMO
RHAA
San Anselmo is a town with a unique character—sophisticated yet rooted in a small-town spirit. To revitalize its creekside park, the town held a design competition, ultimately selecting RHAA to bring the community’s vision for Creekside Commons to life: a new civic heart that connects seamlessly with the natural beauty of the creek.
The project developed in coordination with a county flood control effort that would daylight and restore the creek corridor. The concept design offers a rich variety of experiences— intimate and communal spaces that reflect the charm of downtown and the rhythm of the surrounding watershed. The park invites visitors to engage with seasonal changes, learn through immersive interpretation, and gather for community celebrations, from concerts to the annual holiday tree lighting.
