WATER ANCHOR

Located on Brady Island, My proposal for the recycling center aims to showcase innovative Port of Houston initiatives.

Within my design, I have integrated proposals centered around recreational parks to enhance green spaces in the vicinity. Additionally, I have incorporated the concept of electrifying cargo handling equipment, utilizing recycled batteries within the building to directly power the Port of Houston’s machinery.

The architectural composition of my building consists of three squares strategically rotated to align with the waterfront, the newly constructed road, and the property line. This design emerged through a series of modifications to an abstract waste management concept. The roof features an angled design, incorporating shifting trusses that dynamically respond to the site angles. The park surrounding the building is designed with abstract curves that have been extruded to form amphitheaters and shaded areas.

SCATTER BLOCK

Located by the Menil Drawing Institute, The Scatter Block is a hybrid building comprising student dorms, a basketball court, a bookstore, and a coffee shop.

The concept for the Scatter Block was inspired by the design of the Nasher Center, which was primarily designed to have a central program confined to a specific area in each bay and to incorporate various sources of natural light.

The Scatter Block reimagines this concept by enabling various programs to interact in each bay without any specific section restriction. Additionally, courtyard spaces have been incorporated on different levels to illuminate the area with natural light. The primary focus of my building’s design was the distribution of programs in each bay and how they would interact on the same level and throughout the entire building.

ILLUMINARIUM

Located in the vibrant east downtown area, the project is a mixed-use building that combines residential and public spaces.

I explored the rich cultural and historical impact of East Downtown. In particular, I investigated the impact of gentrification on the area’s iconic murals, which were predominantly painted on abandoned buildings. As the community began to reclaim these spaces, the murals were at risk of being destroyed, resulting in the gradual loss of this vibrant art form.

Inspired by this concept, I envisioned a space that would celebrate the culture of murals and provide a permanent home for this unique art form. The building features a dual-purpose design, comprising a public area known as the Illuminarium and a residential space at the rear. The Illuminarium is designed to be adjusted, incorporating movable walls that allow the curator to curate the space and evoke specific emotions as visitors walk through it.

LIGHT PAVILLION

Located adjacent to the Menil Drawing Institute, the pavilion is composed of field conditions from precedents and the overlapping of ideas.

Drawing inspiration from two noteworthy precedents, namely Steven Holl and Vito Acconci’s Storefront for Art and Architecture, a minimalist approach was used, enabling the intersection of interior and exterior spaces. In addition, multiple entry areas were incorporated, providing users with the freedom to curate their own experiences.

The concept was to explore how light can enhance art spaces, which is exemplified by the three elements of art that I incorporated into the pavilion: color, form, and texture. Color and form were expressed through installations, while the roof featured an opaque glass material with louvers that offered protection while reflecting light toward the artwork in all areas of the pavilion.
