With the future of transportation slowly becoming more electric, we have asked ourselves how a rest stop would function in the future with all electric chargeable cars. Rest areas today are initially modeled after roadside parks with minimal comforts, while following a uniform design that rarely provides more than the basic amenities such as restrooms and walking areas. To gain a better understanding, our team pictured ourselves during a long drive, low on battery, and in need of a restroom, food, and a change of scenery. Through further research and development we created CarScend, an EV or (Electric Vehicle) charging rest stop that transcends the idea of an average rest stop with its sunken community design. I designed the restaurant for CarScend.

We were instructed to design a house based on an artist’s style and processes. I choose Barnett Newman as my artist because of his painting’s false simplicity. Located in Montecito, California, a city that intertwines Santa Barbra, this house fights mud and land slides with a raised foundation on stilts, retaining wall, and a terrace garden. Throughout the house, vertical wood panels physically distinguish different spaces without creating a visual barrier. The common spaces lack identity. Circulation flows between the interior and exterior without recognition. The spaces extent into one another creating dimension and purpose without identity. These are similar attributes Newman discovered within his paintings.

Located along the Arno River in Florence, Italy, my group partner and I designed an art gallery. The building entrance has forced perspective caused by the vast freestanding brise soleil facade and tight entryway. The gallery was designed around modular blocks creating rhythm and symmetry. The main hallway compresses the circulation with low ceilings and a narrow room. As one enters the exhibition space, their view expands across the river. The cantilevered balcony could remain open to the public but also be accessible by gallery visitors.
