The project is located along the South Figueroa Corridor in South Central Los Angeles, California. This development consists of 60 units spread across multiple floors. Each floor contains 20 units, each equipped with a bathroom and kitchen space. The ground floor hosts commercial spaces and a parking garage dedicated to tenants, while the second floor provides outdoor lounging and seating areas.

The high demand for affordable housing in Los Angeles is driven by its sizable population and expensive living conditions. Numerous residents grapple with the challenge of securing housing within their financial means, contributing to an affordability crisis where a significant portion of the population allocates an excessive portion of their income toward housing costs.

CROCKER HOMELESS SHELTER

Firm: PSDBM

TYPE: Homeless Shelter (Interior)

LOCATION: 318 W 45th St.

SOFTWARE: AutoCad, Illustrator, Enscape, SketchUp

The project site is located at 5th street and Crocker which is the center of Skid Row. Skid Row is a series of streets in Downtown Los Angeles and contains one of the largest populations of homeless people in the United States. It has been know for its condensed homeless population since the 1930s.

The project location is 442 Crocker St. What was a warehouse is now proposed as an emergency homeless shelter. The homeless shelter has a total of 19 beds with a new outdoor restroom facility. The shelter will be operated by a non-profit, charitable organization on a property leased or owned by that institution/organization.

Around the site there are multiple missions, and health hubs to help the skidrow population. We are hoping this homeless shelter stands as a sanctuary for those without a place to call home. It’s a haven amidst the chaos of life in Downtown Los Angeles, offering a temporary haven and a glimpse of hope. The shelter’s exterior often portrays a sense of humility, yet within its walls lies a warmth that transcends its physical structure.

The city of Irwindale is undergoing a renaissance, transitioning from a mining-oriented community to an Environmental friendly Central Park to respond potential crisis from climate change. We are proposing a 28-mile zone that connects from San Gabriel mountain down to Pacific ocean. A source regenerator zone serves as an ecological corridor for engendered species by providing shelters and exchange habitat.

The intergration from food production and recreational areas to our plan serves for people in east LA and provides the most accessible park all along the way from South to North.

The intergrated landscape was not created with the lack of green; instead, it resulted from the influences of its land, endangered species, waste, agriculture, and the minority communities turning suburban areas into an urban landscape. Ecological Corridor is to rescue endangered species from hazardous incidents such as fire in the areas. Waste recycling is to stop distributing trash to nearby cities. In fact, Irwindale will create their own disposal infrastructure for its own sake. Agriculture is to reduce the percentage of food insecurity and to increase food production in LA cities. In addition, the Integrated Landscape is utilized as a park to raise the voice of Greater Los Angeles’s minority communities. As a result, the impact of Integrated Landscape will mitigate the amount of carbon footprint of Greater Los Angeles.

Umbrella Projections is a project located in Culver City of Los Angeles. The site is between the intersection of La Cienega and Jefferson. This design is mainly focused on addresing the context of the site and finding a organizational strategy with the information the site gives.

Using an object to define the qualities of a building will mitigate how the design is afftected organizationally and structurally. Strongly considering the urban context, the design influences the user to experience a wavelike ceiling surface while walking below the building. The experience also includes a water treatment center which includes the progression of environmental qualities of the site.

Strongly referencing the organizational strategies of an umbrella, the structure and site are organized with the same dynamics. The plans are driven in a way where they follow a concentric organization.

This design consist of processing and manufacturing facility in Downtown El Paso that duals programmatically as an immersive and ‘highly instagrammable’ playscape made entirely of plastic waste. The aim of this project is to seize a waste stream of large volume problematic material and transform it into a new raw materia for the construction economy.

After handling nearly half of the world’s recyclable waste for th past quarter century, in January 2018, China enacted the “National Sword” policy which banned the import of most plastics from the United States. Municipalities are now forced to deal with their own trash instead of exporting it, and have discovered that there are virtually no domestic manufacturers that want to buy this waste in order to turn it int something else. El Paso emerges as one of the most affecte cities in Texas. As concerns over plastic pollution increase, the proposed architecture will provide a solution for managing El Paso’s municipal plastic waste while simultaneously providing an amusing experience that exemplifies the Wtangible possibilities of upcycling and giving new life to used plastic for building applications. The facility will collect, sort, clean, shred, and mold plastic into new architectural products. The playspace will be assembled from those newly fabricated products and users will actively participate in promoting the circular economy philosophy by posing for selfies with captivating and whimsical backdrops.

Regional Plastic Waste Analysis, Location: El Paso, TX

After analyzing the machine and investigating the transitional systems of one function to the other, the design decides to reasses certain transitional systems into different direction to add complexities to the finished product.

This project expresses the free-flowing variations within the postured glance of a fictional character. This character is identified as a Dragon. As dominant actions of this dragon’s movement take control of the physicality of what is identified, it is visible how the nature of its design is driven with pure intention.

The chair depicts tentacle-like characteristics that may give the illusion of continuity. The sculpture starts to overwhelm itself in a spiraled direction, then it starts to consume its lounging fundamental properties. The final form is uncovered as intertwining furniture attributes, which identifies as a constant exploration of curvature and its fluid elegance.

The abnormity of these features is what captivates the visual perception of the user’s experience. The way it slowly travels to a state of its serpentine geometries can start to recognize its organic features. The parasitic nature is inherent when glancing at the furniture. Due to its composition, the intervention of these “serpentine geometries” is quite familiar with the rest of the design.
