01 TRANSPARENT TECHNOLOGY HEADQUARTERS

WINTER/SPRING | STUDIO TOKER

A world intertwined with digital twins is approaching rapidly,

but only the wealthy will reap the benefits of this revolutionary technology. Transparent Technology provides greater access to the metaverse by manufacturing low cost augmented reality glasses. By arming our communities with the tools of the future, we can bring justice back to big tech, and create some pretty rad things along the way...

Transparent Technology

Headquarters uses its own product on its facade so that Pedestrians can see the real time interaction between virtual and physical employees. Transparent Technology Headquarters also hosts a private open public space so that everyone has access to and can experience the technology they are promoting.

02 SOURCE, WIND TURBINE AND BEACON

FALL 2022 | STUDIO FREEBY

The annual Vellum Design Competition is a juried competition among students of Cal Poly. Source acts as a self-illuminating beacon. When wind catches the blades and rotates the shaft, the lights

are powered on and the aluminum turbine is lit up.

This piece was built as part of a Palm Springs truck stop design. Source would act as a beacon for incoming truckers, and provide power for the truck stop.

Through the creation of this piece I learned about sustainable energy production, air flow, and the mechanics behind all kinds of

turbines. I became more adept with electrical wiring, soldering, and components. I also worked with new materials such as aluminum.

03 CHEVROLET ASTRO OFFGRID CAMPER CONVERSION

SUMMER 2021 | PERSONAL PROJECT

Travel hysteria and soul searching inspired a camper van conversion. The camper van project needed to

be able to fit 1 person comfortably for three months with ample storage for food, water, clothes, utilities, tools, and other miscellaneous equipment. This project needed a bed for a 5’-10” individual, a sink, refrigerator, fan for ventilation and a power supply. Other amenities were added to the build after essentials were taken care of. This build served the sole purpose of allowing the individual to travel to and photograph various national

parks and do so in a comfortable manner. This project taught me basic construction priniples and methods. This project also served as a vehicle (literally and figuratively) for priceless experiences and adventure.

04 VARIOUS MODELS AND PARAMETRIC WORKS

WINTER 2022 | STUDIO TOKER

Parametric design not only improves user workflow, parametric design is the building technology of the

future. Parametric architecture is the most responsive solution to climate constraints to date. Building technology moves incredibly fast and the easier it is to change a project halfway through the design process, the more efficient a building will be in the long run. The malleability of parametric design proves especially effective in response to our exponentially volatile climate. Parametric design, and the digital fabrication tools we

have to model it are becoming exponentially advanced, and more useful in the design process. In this series I play with various parametric concepts and methods using Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, CNC, 3D Printers, and Laser Cutters.
