& d esign architecture

dh

Hello!

I am Diana, a graduate student at California Baptist University currently pursuing a master ’s degree in architecture. In academia, I have discovered a passion for designing architecture that reflects cultures and empowers communities.

I enjoy researching site context extensively because it allows me to identif y unique opportunities early on while establishing strong design proposals. Throughout my portfolio you will see examples of this while gainning insight to my design process...

COMFORT AND CHOICE

MAGGIE’S AT NEWPORT

Maggie’s essence is the antithesis of a hospital. Although they are always close to a major can­c er hospital, they are designed as informal “domestic” buildings. This will especially need to be the case for Maggie’s at Newport , which will be off hospital grounds and instead located in the flourishing residential neighborhood of Newport Heights.

It is crucial Maggie’s is a “good fit ” to the residential community in order to successfully emulate a vernacular sense of domesticity, all while demonstrating its devotion to ser ving the community.

Maggie Centers give people with cancer, their families, and friends somewhere to hold them together through difficult times. If anyone is ever feeling broken or alone, they ’ll know they can count on Maggie’s at Newport Heights to foster a connection to something greater than them-selves.

CANCER LANGUAGE

ABSTRACT REPRESENTATION

As part of our empathetic study, we heavily researched cancer. Specifically, its growth, manifestation, and/or remission. We selected two verbs that described the process, drew an abstract sequence, and then went on to build a synthesis model of both verbs in action. The abstract result helped inform our architectural language and decisions throughout the design process. The two verbs represented in the synthesis model are “Lurking” and “Materializing”.

DESIGN APPROACH

MAGGIE’S AT NEWPORT

Maggie’s at Newport Heights fosters connections between one another through open, visible, and alternating community spaces. It also encourages a connection to divine power through intentional light play and nature through framed views and greener y. This is done so users are reminded they are not alone through their expereince.

In an attempt to counteract the loss of power that occurs when someone is experienceing cancer, varr ying degrees of privacy and sunlight are offered thriough out the building. Users have the choice of picking their safe space depending on how they are feeling that day. There is a place for ever yone.

The site is situated on an existing park atop a cliff side. The design will be built on the steepest side to allow the adjacent side to remain a community park while filling the residential void present in the neighboorhood. These design moves will ensure Maggie’s is effectively incorporated into the local community while providing users with positive distractions.

THE CROSSROADS

MAGGIE’S AT NEWPORT

The need for community integration and positive distractions resulted in an intersection both outside on the site and within the building.

These intersections allow for serendipitous encounters between people.

The highest point of the site is where the park is located so that Maggie’s users are encouraged to stop by and enjoy the open views with community memebers rather than alone.

Community park is moved to top of slope to secure the best views

AN INSPIRING ECOSYSTEM

THE POETRY FOUNDATION

The Poetr y Foundation is a social hub that will contribute to the growing arts district in Downtown Riverside. Access to shared support and collaborative work zones is achieved through transparency of masses and voids. This transparent display of a lively environment becomes an inspiration to any who lay eyes upon it and more so to those who find themselves immersed within it.

NEIGHBORHOOD

Weather in Riverside is most appreciated. It is never too hot or too cold out. Partly because it is situated no more than one hour away from a variety of climate zones. Riverside’s architecture embraces sunny weather and adaptability to occasional rainfall in one way or another. Riverside is conveniently located in SoCal, making it an attractive city for commuters and young professionals to move into.

HOMELESSNESS

Alleys are found at ever y turn in Downtown Riverside. Some have taken on an aesthetic of their own. Its no wonder why they are taken as “shortcuts” by locals.

Cultural diversity is prominent down Main Street in the form of memorial statues; they almost seem as if to be marching to and from city hall. At least about half of the site can enjoy some pleasant views of City Hall and White Park . The homeless of the Santa Ana River spend a lot of their time walking these streets

CULTIVATING CULTURE

PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Over the decades, the city of Redlands has attracted a variety of residents which have all contributed to the unique charm it possess.

Their shared pride in its small-town charm and rich histor y has recently attracted another generation of residents; this time urban commuters. These big city commuters appreciate the vintage town feel just as much as the well-established residents.

Currently, residents celebrate the culture they have cultivated over the years and take pride in remaining a charming and successful low profile town.

SITE ANALYSIS

SOHO LIVE+WORK

The site is located in the heart of Soho, NY. This diagram highlights the two major roads responsible for the majority of traffic that flows around the site. One of which connects directly to New Jersey. It also distinguishes the three prominent districts surrounding the site; a food, commercial and small arts district. Lastly, it outlines the buildings that have roof access and groups them based on proximity. The site is located between several buildings that already have rooftop functions. By including a rooftop function on this site, a rooftop community could be encouraged.

UP AND COMING ARTS

STREET DENSIT Y

CAST IRON DISTRICT

arch & design

ZONING

The site falls in one of the few cast iron districts in New York . The appearance of these buildings is actually what captured the attention of artists back when Soho was an abandoned manufacturing district.

Although there has been a lot of development in Soho through out the years the facades seem to be left intact. There are two notable districts surrounding the site but there seems to be yet another growing district , an art district. Many businesses surrounding the project site include; graphic design offices, printing ser vices, tailor shops, architecture firms, beauty salons, and art galleries.

ROOF ACCESS

MODEL PROCESS

SOHO LIVE+WORK

By shifting activity nodes towards the rooftops, the streets are relieved of congestion and pedestrian traffic. In turn, people are able to take a moment to experience the art that lies within, around, and on the site. By exposing circulation people get an accurate sense of activity through out the building. Floor becomes a “still” floor and the rooftops promote social gatherings and night life.

RESTORING LIVELINESS

MEMORY CARE FACILITY

Oftentimes, it is the moods and deteriorating health of patients that inevitably portray a somber environment throughout nursing facilities.

By creating an ecosystem which patients directly care for and enjoy, a lively environment is restored.

According to studies, dementia patients respond positively to the presence of children, plants, and animals. By carefully designing an ecosystem that displays and celebrates life, we ease patient tensions and ensure they live comfortably during their time in nursing homes.

A COLLABORATIVE DISPLAY

CHRISTIAN STUDIES CENTER

The Christian Studies Center at The University of Michigan encourages students to take pride in practicing their faith on campus and allows them to integrate it into their day to day lifestyles. The lighthearted display of worship entices both Christian and secular users to make their way to its ethereal destination.

Along the way, the emphasis on academic and social gathering spaces provides the opportunity for cross-diciplinar y conversations and relationships to spark among fellow students.

SITE PLAN

arch & design

The University of Michigan has campuses scattered throughout east Ann Arbor. It is difficult for all disciplines to remain centralized on campus . Our site may not be central to the university but it is centered in Ann Arbor and has the potential to become a sacred space for students to practice their faith and find companionship through collaboration.

Student housing is on the opposite side where other nearby student housing facilities can be found and features a its own alternative entrance. The pitched roofs direct attention to the chapel embeded between both the academic facilities and student housing.

CHAPEL SECTION

Through estensive research and several light box model contructions, we were able to replicate the desired naturallighting effects we sought out for our chapel designs.

The light in this cahpel was designed in a way that activates different parts of the room through out the day. The foliage in the garden surrounding the chapel atomizes light durring the morning. Reactive glass difuses light and creates an opacity which allows user to foucs on their inmediate surroundings durring noon. Meawhile, light sheds directly on the alter space and draws attention to the cross in the afternoons.
