Damaged Destroyed Destroyedto be rebuilt N
A set of 12 houses are to be constructed on a site that was devastated by a fire during the Fall of 2021 in the Boulder, Colorado area. This fire destructed over one-thousand homes and damaged thousands more. These prospective homes take advantage of the malleability and fire resistance of concrete. Following an undulating form, constructed using mesh mould technology, the homes mimic the natural form of the surrounding landscape. The unique concrete silhouette allows for a home that provides resistance to natural foces, such as wildfires and strong winds. In addition, the form introduces panoramic views of the unique landscape, supporting the active lifestyle that many Coloradoan’s follow, while providing a place of refuge and recovery.

Mesh Mould - Combines reinforcement and formwork, allows for strengthened organic geometires
In-Situ Fabrication - Improves structural performance and minimizes material waste, allows for fabrication of organic geometry
Fire Resistance - Carbonate (dolomite) aggregate has proven to provide the highest compressive and tensile strength when subjected to high temperatures

02 | Los Angeles Community Center
Project Brief
Design a Community Center on a site located in downtown Los Angeles to serve residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. The new Community Center is envisioned as a resource for neighborhood residents of all ages and backgrounds, providing spaces for education, recreation, entertainment, socializing, and organization.
Concept
In response to the climate of the southern Californian site, the Community Center is separated into programmatic components in order to utilize exterior space for circulation and gathering. These buildings use transparency to welcome the community, to blend indoors and outdoors, and to reduce energy loads through natural daylighting.

Drought resistant native plants (California Sycamore and native grasses such as Deergrass and Sheep Fesucue) are planted in order to reduce water usage and increase shading.
Louvered shading device over outdoor plaza allows for passive heat and cooling control of outdoor space. Large amounts of glazing reduce heating loads through natural daylighting.

Modular Urban Housing
Project Brief
Concept
Both functional and physical modular elements within the design inform unit to whole relationships as well as the user-experience. In plan, two variations of modules combine to create a variety of unit types. These modules establish a stepping design on the facade which allows for private balconies in each unit. In elevation, modular screens are installed on these balconies which allow for the user to determine their own experience.

Yamacraw Village is a neighborhood of Savannah that is positioned directly west of the Downtown Historic District, separated by Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. The site is primarily composed of subsidized housing with very low density and minimal access to goods and services. Our proposal, Yamacraw², reimagines this site as a space to encourage growth within the neighborhood. Through more intentional connections to major axes, mixed-use development, and higher density, Yamacraw² becomes an asset to Savannah, rather than something that is ignored.

NINE CRITERIA FOR LIVABLE URBAN DIVERSITY
a pleasant microclimate placement of taller buildings around the exterior border of the site will provide protection from strong winds and solar penetration
flexibility • flexibility is promoted through adaptable spaces that can be easily converted for multiple uses.
walkability walking is encourgaged by having sidewalks on every street, paths through the site, and buildings that can be walked through and under.
smaller carbon footprint smaller, closely spaced buildings means fewer exposed facades, simpler construction systems, and promotes walkability. bioswales filter water that may enter the canal and consequentially the Savannah River and Atlantic Ocean.
greater biodiversity this is accomplished by establishing native plant communities and regenerative landscapes, having water management with slower water filtration, and individual outdoor green spaces.
human scale no building within the site will be taller than 3 stories, providing an eye-level experience through smaller dimensions and spaces.
