REED-VITALIZATION

Reed-Vitalization SPRING 2024 | BOLSA CHICA ECOLOGICAL RESERVE The object of this project was to create a performative modular panel to serve a nearby LA wetland ecology. The Reed-Vitalization panel uses high tech and low tech methods to provide natural ventilation, purify the air, and create light and shadow effects. Structures designed to utilize the panel benefit from the ability to connect inhabitants to the environment. The panel and buildings it is applied to aim to have positive/neutral environmental impacts.

REED-VITALIZATION

Artist Dwelling The artist dwelling utlizes the panel to create a living quarters with studio, bedroom, and bathroom spaces. The structure expands upon ideas of passive design by raising the structure to cool it from below. Sliding glass allows the building to be hermetically sealed when needed but open to ventilation at the inhabitant’s choice.

The project imagines an artist-in-residence program with twelve artists each in their own Artist Dwelling comprising studio and bedroom. The Community Center connects the twelve dwellings, with a caretaker that cooks meals. The center also includes a library, game room, and movie room.

URBAN RAINFOREST

Urban Rainforest FALL 2023 | SAN FERNANDO VALLEY The term “urban jungle” is associated with a city’s reputation as a chaotic and harrowing place. Densifying LA suburbia (Reyner Banham’s “Plains of Id”) has the potential to urbanize the region to the point of dystopia, so how do we keep a superfuturistic project from reaching too far beyond its bounds? The Urban Rainforest aims to maintain a sense of friendliness while densifying significantly.

The redesigned Plains of Id ecology replaces a square mile in the San Fernando Valley. The proposal below shows the entire square mile group proposal, with the highlighted portion being my sector. My sector of the proposal has a programmatic focus on the arts.

BRANCH LIBRARY

Branch Library with Fabrication Lab SPRING 2023 | LITTLE TOKYO/ARTS DISTRICT The brief demanded the design of a branch library based on site study and an additional program of choice. Inspired by libraries in Los Angeles and San Diego, I chose to incorporate a fabrication lab as well as my own concept for a children’s maker space. Features of the project include use of Grasshopper for shelled facade generation and a “playful industrial” style reminiscent of the Centre Pompidou to complement the programming.
