01 | SHADES OF GREY PROJECT: Arch 12 Investigation PROGRAM: Shading Investigation SUPERVISED BY: Brown

The process of hand drawings took an approach of learning techniques such as hatching, scribbling, stippling, or cross-hatching. Understanding and producing these techniques have enhanced all the drawings’ line work and the essential aspects of achieving effects by understanding mapping and shading values.

By improving the line-work and mapping of the drawings, an investigation of lighting and how the sun would touch the surfaces of buildings or natural surroundings was utilized. By focusing on how the sunlight interacts with the textures and how it creates an array of unique shadows of varying shapes and sizes, my drawings progressed in complexity, and I was able to produce the scene within a singular moment.

The two series of charcoal drawings were an investigation into the use of light and how shading can be used as a tool to map out the composition. The use of shading was crucial in creating a realistic and accurate representation of the subject, and it allowed for a better understanding of the three-dimensional form. The intricate details of the subject were carefully crafted with various shades of charcoal to create depth and highlight the play of light and shadow.

This project process report highlights the assembly and work space that not only serves as a place to work but also allows the community to gather and enjoy the beautiful ambiance of the Catskills. The assembly space is environmentally conscious by utilizing scraps for composting, which is then utilized for the vegetable garden and meadow garden. Additionally, the work space has a program for refilling dry and liquid items to reduce plastic waste. The products available at the work space are made from natural elements and can be composted later on. The aim is to create a space that 16

03 | HIDDEN OASIS PROJECT: Arch 370 Studio Final PROGRAM: Urban Design Project ORGANIZED BY: Micheal Tweed IN COLLABORATION WITH: Lidiya Lininska and Cesar Cruz Vasquez

Hidden Oasis is a purposed campus that aims to improve the local community of Honolulu, Hawaii and its needs for community spaces. Focusing in the urban design aspect, under utilized buildings were removed and replaced with a bleeding pathway of native trees and plants creating a trail of connections with local parks, landmarks, and the Pouhala Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary.

A buffer was integrated to better the performance in tree growth and enhance forest succession.

Focusing in the heart of the site that is located downtown Farrington Highway, and a walk away from major transportations and landmarks, making it an ideal location for students and adults exploring for communal activities.

The Hidden Oasis is an urban design phase one development that focuses on improving the district by replacing under-utilized buildings to create a cohesive campus for the students and local community. It also ensures that the area’s people can fully enjoy the amenities. Once the structures were in place, integrated accessible paths and walkways connected each space between buildings. The second phase of the project centered around an area designed to cater to the needs of the locals and students. We prioritized beauty, functionality, and space utilization to create a stunning and practical space. The urban design element was carefully considered to ensure the area was aesthetically pleasing and practical.

04 | THE HEARTH PROJECT: SUNY ESF Mass Timber Design Competition 2023 PROGRAM: Library Addition + ORGANIZED BY: SUNY ESF IN COLLABORATION WITH: Cesar Cruz Vasquez

The Hearth is a purposed library that aims to improve the mood and comfort of the students at SUNY ESF. The Hearth showcases a unique design reminiscent of a residential structure with a gabled roof. The addition’s aesthetic incorporates a modern twist of asymmetry, lending it to a distinctive appearance. The objective was to create a warm and inviting atmosphere by integrating unique elements into the design. The addition’s floor plan features an open concept, emulating the spaciousness of the courtyard in front of the library, further enhancing the overall cozy ambiance. Additionally, two large cutouts were integrated to allow abundant natural light, fostering a connection between the existing structure and the newly added space. However, a release and compression method was employed to enhance the feeling of openness and unrestricted flow, resulting in a more dynamic and lively atmosphere in the louder areas.
