Cohabitation Typology
In a city with little room for housing or food trucks, this project looks to offer amenities to both, while offering open, flexible use space for residents and the public. This pop-up, sharing community offers space that is not currently available such as a theater, gallery space, or gardens for the Mission District.

3D Printing Structure
The goal of the project was to create a strong, 3D printed structure using as little material as possible, with forms that could connect together either as pieces or as a module of multiple pieces. Without needing scaffolding or formwork, the installation was assembled on site, only needing a 3D printer and GCODE.

Nuclear Studio
Study
Farming Typology
The project asked the question how could a nuclear power plant change farming processes. By installing vertical farming structures fed by UV lights run off of energy from the power plant, robotic farming aides offer over 15 times the crop yield for less than 2% of the site. This extra space allows for pop-up and more permanent amenities to the residents.

Variation Coding
Pre-Industrial Revolution craft workers created intricate patterns with repeating pattern blocks. Now wallpaper patterns can be computational, allowing for vast customization and variation. The pattern was traced in the computer, and all the variations were produced from the same Grasshopper script, only with changes to inputs and selective baking exports.

To the Maldives, climate change is an immediate threat. How can a nation that is being eroded away still find a home that is floating instead of terrestrial? Delighted Strata creates ecological corridors below the water that act as catalyst and safe havens for life that is displaced by bleached coral, and offers sustainable living to Maldivians displaced by eroding atolls.

Material Craft Process
A parametric investigationof a thermal wall, movable modules offer control of ventilation and views. The form of the modules and the rough concrete texture create pockets of negative air, helping to pull the now warmed air into the space. The embedded lines direct the air, and are a visual index off the installation’s function.
