The Crossings
Proposed facade renovation and space split to increase side street activation for a new acquistion property.
The space had been formerly occupied by a major retail merchant and left vacant for years, being the only vacantcy at the center. The subdivision of space would lead to more small shop tenants, restaurant, and quick service uses, and provide a welcoming path to the Regal Cinema in the rear of the site.
Two options at varied construction costs were presented to leasing, one being a full facade overhaul, the second being minimally invasive and value engineered.

Solana Beach Library
The Solana Beach Public Library is a 16,000 square foot library for the community of Solana beach. It incorporates a children’s section, teen section, and an adult fiction and nonfiction section. The library is equipped with multiple private study rooms, a computer lab, and presentation/class room spaces. A community meeting space is also incorporated into the design that is accessible even when the library is outside of regular operating hours for community sanctioned events.
The site is situation on Lomas Santa Fe and North Cedros drive a very short walk from the beach, the library attempts to activate the street on those facades to interest pedestrians and vehicular traffic alike.
The buildings structure is concrete primarily with a waffle slab on the second floor to support a cantilevered
double height space. The bookshelves on the second level of the cantelivered space are oversized steel trusses that support the floor by anchoring it to the roof and the roof is then supported b steel tie cabled anchored diagonally into concrete foundation piles.
The structure addresses the sustainable needs of a very temperate climate by allowing for natural ventilation through operable windows and curtain wall panels as well as allowing for the stack affect in the double height space through operable angled skylights. The roof sloping to the south also has solar panels to compensate for the buildings power needs.

SE Division & 11th
SE Division & 11th is a mixed use project focusing on providing the historic Ford District with an all-inclusive live, work, play space that incorporates apartments, creative offices, as well as retail and eateries. SE Division & 11th is a full covered yet outdoor space that takes advantage of Portland’s active and outdoor loving community while protecting the users from excessive sun in the summer and rain and snow in the winter. This protection is provided by a large span PVC covered spaceframe system. SE Division & 11th utilizes two central cores for circulation to separate
program use while providing ease of access to all of the four floors of the project. The project intends to follow sustainable procedures to take the project into the future by consciously not providing parking, but rather over 300 bike parking spaces, and a dedicated passenger loading zone for ubers and other rideshare apps. The project also utilizes green roofs for stormwater management and rain collection for use elsewhere on the site. SE Division & 11th is an integrative project that looks into the future to provide an enhanced Ford District as a whole.

urban connection
Urban Connection focuses on the disconnection created by mass scaled urban planning centered around the car. This project explores the neighborhoods isolated by freeway placements and the possible solutions to socially reconnect them through architectural intervention. Freeways act as monolithic barriers keeping city dwellers confined within each segment.
These massive barrier causing urban interventions are seen all over the country and even globally, separating communities that were previously joined. This leads to the fragmented communities developing at differing paces due to necessary services and conveniences being cut off on one side. This thesis explores the reconnection of two downtown neighborhoods through visual, physical, and conceptual means.
The rash decisions of the past in favor of a car dominated society should be reevaluated to adapt to a more
pedestrian friendly and connectivity focused culture. Neighborhoods that have been disjointed need clear and appropriate access to each other to enhance community, socialization, and quality of urban life. Urban culture has lost a sense of community due to the extreme disconnection that has occurred from the mass intervention of car culture. By providing a central communal space for neighborhoods, dwellers can interact with each other, get to know their neighbors, and feel a sense of pride for their community.
Large scaled urban planning interventions focused on the convenience of the car culture has ripped through the urban landscape creating fragmented and isolated neighborhoods that lack a larger sense of urban community. Through research of public spaces, community places, and pedestrian accessibility, this thesis has tested varying ways to reconnect Sherman Heights and East Village in downtown San Diego. The Urban Connection project aims to visually, physically, and socially connect the neighborhoods it border while upholding the distinct community
PRoblem statement
Connection between neighborhoods is largely overlooked in downtown areas. Since the mass production and acceptance of cars, large scale urban planning interventions have cut through the urban landscape leaving behind disjointed fragments of neighborhoods. Freeways act as monolithic barriers keeping city dwellers confined within each segment they border. The connection that has been made to cross these massive barriers has also been catered to the car and lacks pedestrian courtesy. Freeway underpasses are dark and notoriously unwelcoming to pedestrians making the crossing between neighborhoods undesirable. These massive barrier causing urban interventions are seen all over the country and even globally, separating communities that were previously joined. This leads to the fragmented communities developing at differing paces due to necessary services and conveniences being cut off on one side. How can we reconnect communities that have spent years acquiring vastly different social and physical identities and encourage pedestrian interaction between neighborhoods?
