GARDEN THEATER IN CONSTRUCTION Continuing the use of architectural precedents, analysis, models, metaphor, analogy, and allegory, this project studies material, construction, and mechanical systems. We investigate the role of landscape as an element of spatial containment along with the elements of an Italian Garden: Row or grove of trees, bosque, grotto, water feature, fresco, and views of the planes beyond. The relationship of a building to the landscape is investigated through section partis as one important feature of a garden is that it be located on a slope.

URBAN WALLS & ROOMS With architectural precedents, this project further investigates the use of metaphors, models, symbolism, and analogies to redefine urban space. Through parti sketches, we study buildings in the role of the public realm as urban components.

To define new urban spaces, this project uses seven set pieces: Institutional building, Market, Public/semi-public building, Wall building, Piazza, Fountain with monument, and Courtyard building.

INSTITUTE OF ITALIAN CINEMA Through investigations of previous historical precedents, this project was constructed through analysis of previous models, metaphors, and analogies. The purpose of this design was to use principles of a free facade and free plan while investigating how to build in an urban context with the facade as a boundary of the public realm. The program for this design is an Institute of Italian Cinema.

Italian films were used to study and research the significance architecture and scale has in films such as: La Dolce Vita; 8 1/2; The Great Beauty; Fistful of Dollars; and, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

CASA KEITA GUESTHOUSE

This project explores a guesthouse addition to Casa Keita located in Colima, México. The guesthouse program specified the building to float above exisiting landscape on piers/columns, storage, kitchen/dining, roof terrace, living room/lounge, office space, and 1 bed/1.5 bath.

For this project a bridge precedent was used to carrry traces of it for a final project. The above bridge is called Lavasan Bridge located in Tehran Province, Iran.

The final bridge project included a new bridge design e3 e3_elevation e3 e3_elevation along with a tidal gate and designed shoreline access.
