what to say...

Coming from a first generation family, I was always encouraged to work hard, to speak up for myself. However, I am not the greatest with words. Sometimes my tongue tends to spew out the words before I can even comprehend what I said.
I would find it much easier to just let my work speak for me. I want to create imaginable things that could do all the speaking for me. Often, I find myself drawing, my mind running nonstop of all the possibilities I can create. If I can’t properly put it into words, why not let my drawings, ideas, or designs do it for me?
When I was in middle school, we had to write about what we wanted our future careers to be. English wasn’t always my best subject, but somehow, math was. I understood numbers more than the words of a book. I knew the moment I found architecture was a mixture of STEM with a touch of art, I was a goner.
That was also my first time I got an A+ on an English paper.
I know that I am still growing, not only with my work, but as a human. I know I can push myself to be the greatest that I can be, to make my own mark onto the world.

THE BASICS-FALL 2021
Individual
This was the year we finally got to use revit to our advantage. Our assignment was to create unit plans of residential homes where we had to choose different variations of the given floor plates that offer challenges and opportunities. The challenge was having party walls within our plans. This is my attempt to tackle the challenge.

THE COLLECTIVE-FALL2021
Group project
The Collective that would be located on S Harris Drive located in Mesa, Arizona is a housing project proposal that was designed with the intent of maintaining the familiar qualities of suburban living present in the existing neighborhood with an added high density, split level housing characteristic. The project was developed around the idea of respecting the water detention attribute of our site and using that challenge to our advantage by creating a space in which a strong sense of community can flourish. There are a total of 28 units on the site which we have catered towards family living based on the area’s demographics. The site also hosts a green-roofed store lot that faces a communal garden area which would house a cafe market serving as a community gathering spot and amenity within walkable distance.
