The municipality of Moncada I Reixac has strong ties to water, due to its location next to the Ripoli River and its history of flooding. Through analysis of the site and its surrounding context, it was decided that this project should focus on connecting the community both to each other, and to its history with water. This project features a series of topography shifts thoughout the various program spaces in order to direct water throughout the site and prevent the flooding of surrounding buldings, a musuem that illustrates the history of the site, a path of greenery that marks the floodplane and directs users through the site, as well as the removal of a potion of the floodwalls surrounding the river in order to connect the riverfront to the community and provide a directed and expanded path for water to flow.

While the neighborhood of Kaka’ako in downtown Honolulu was designed as a “community development district,” its surge of luxury housing as opposed to affordable housing has not had the positive effect on the housing crisis in Oahu that was initially intended. This project, as part of the Cimate Positive Concrete Housing Habitat Competition, aims to recenter the neighborhood of Kaka’ako in its original goal of affordable housing through the use of interlocking concrete blocks that reduce the need for additional building materials, allow for simple modulated design and construction, double as interior furniture and design elements, allow for organic and unqiue interiors, and create the possibility of easy renovations, additions, and adaptations.

Software: Revit, AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
Project Type: Individual
Venn Diagram is a community center located in downtown Los Angeles, with the main objective of providing an amenity to local residents and visitors while encompassing ideas of sustainability. The design’s primary concept is interlocking volumes that encourage interaction between different building programs and occupants, while using the orientation of the buidling to create unqiue interior and exterior opportunities.

Project Type: Individual
The Wave is a mixed-use housing development located in Champaign, Illinois, between downtown and the center of UIUC’s campus, that centers around providing optimal wellbeing for both visitors and residents, as well as creating a connection between downtown and the university. It’s main concept is to provide opportunities for connection and interaction, both within the residents of the building and between residents and community members.

Awards: Earl Prize Recipient
Parallels is a community center located in the downtown area of Champaign, IL, where community members are able to come together for discussion and connection through the context of urban food gardens, which aim to create public awareness and education. The primary concept of this design is angles that direct and orient people within the building, providing clear paths of movement and activity. As one moves up the building, the program space has a gradual transition from public to private, allowing the private spaces of the building to have the least pedestrian movement. In regard to materiality, the core spaces of the building contrast the primary program spaces both on the interior and exterior, with corten steel, chosen for its durability and its relation to the cities origins of the railroad, lining the exterior core elements in the facade. The path of greenery that passes from the public space up to the rooftop garden creates a connection between the building and public space as well as benefits the environment, with this design overall creating a welcoming and functional space that can help engage and improve the Champaign-Urbana community.

06 THE INTERLUDE
Software: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Grasshopper, Lumion, Revit
Project Type: Individual
The Interlude is an exporatory design with the goal of creating a small gathering space that optimizes its form to fit with the climate conditions of the site, creating both indoor and outdoor seating for students to use on business quad of UIUC’s campus. Grasshopper was used to analyze the microclimate of the site, as well as to create a form that allows for shelter from wind and access to sun in the winter, and shade from the sun with natural ventilation in the summer.
