ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Lawrence Bryce Gieszl. I like going by my middle name Bryce. I am fi nishing up my last semester at Cal Poly Pomona. It’s been a long windy road for me to get here. Ever since high school, I have loved architecture. I spent three years at a JC earning my associate’s while working in the fi eld. Upon graduation, I worked for a high-end residential fi rm MLA in San Clemente. While working there, I was encouraged to go back to school to develop my critical thinking and design skills. While doing so I decided to take advantage of my transfer credits and take classes in Finance, Real Estate, and Law. Eventually earning a minor in Real Estate. It has been a lot of work but that’s exactly what I like. I enjoy working hard, learning new skills, and improving myself.
I am looking for a fi rm that capitalizes on my love of lifelong learning. I am eager to build on my academic foundations in Architecture and Real Estate and stay in tune with the latest digital design tools through continued coursework and professional development. Currently, I have half of my required AXP hours ful fi lled and have already started studying for the ARE exams. My hunger to improve drives me to work hard, pick up new skills quickly, and look for ways to improve myself. In previous jobs, I have developed standardized templates that take repetitive tasks and automate them. I graduate May 24th 2023.

The Oculus
The Oculus exempli fi es what I haved enjoyed leanring about in school. Visualization and technical details. This year we took building codes
and building structures. We had to incorporate what was taught in those courses into our project. I had fun detailing considerations like fi re and earthquake safety.
Software Used: Grasshopper, Rhino, Archicad, Lumion, Photoshop
Also, at this time, the class was held entirely online. Our graphics needed to make up for the lack of in-person materials.

Observation Station
The Oculus
Program
The Oculus is an observation station for astronomers. Located far away from urban light, The Oculus is designed for extended research periods ranging from two days to two weeks. In addition to research, The Oculus serves as an educational exhibit where
phenomena researched at the station are displayed. From taking photographs of black holes to measuring our solar system to identifying asteroids, the study of astronomy is vital to our continued understanding. So the research discovered and displayed here should inspire people to support
and pursue careers in science. The Oculus is designed to do just that while also considering geographic issues with this site including its location in an active fi re area, the surrounding plant life, and seismic activity.

LADU
Software Used: AutoCad, BIMSmith, Revit, Illustrator, Photoshop , Adobe Premiere
LADU is a combination of the LA and ADU. It is a business case for an ADU company focused on the Los Angles county market. After learning extensively about prefabrication
techniques and the emerging legislation allowing ADU’s I put together LADU for my fi nal. I believe for a combination of factors such as labor and supply shortages, adoption from local governments,
and quality of products, prefabrication will continue to grow. It was fun taking this project a step forward and thinking about a product rather than a single project.

Potential Sites
Program
LADU is a volumetric, steelframed ADU. It is built almost entirely off-site. Its goal is to fi t on as many sites as possible. This is done an in a few ways. First, the shape is mostly square. The deminsions are 14’ x 15’. These dimensions mean that a regular 18-wheeler can fi t the largest ADU we offer.
There are three modules to select from, A kitchen module, a bedroom module, and a living room module. These three modules can be arranged into many di fferent confi gurations to fi t their site. Due to the steel frame, wall systems can be con fi gured with or without windows and doors easily. All of this results in an easy-
to-assemble, transport, and cost effective ADU. With the severe housing shortage ADUs are not enough. However, they do add housing supply and can be included in a multi-faceted housing rebuild initiative. Currently, the biggest barrier to their adoption is fi nancing their purchase.

The Alebrije Cloud Forest pulls inspiration from the native cloud forests of Southern Mexico, Central and South American regions where a variety of the indigenous population of South LA come from, as well as the Nahuatl term Mixtec where the Spanish Mixteco comes from meaning ‘cloud people’ or ‘people of the clouds.’ The space aims to re-conceptualize ancient Mesoamerican architecture as landforms that stack up into the forest allowing the visitor to ascend into the trees. The vision for this section of Home Away from Home is to connect children and the indigenous migrant population of South LA to the land, bringing forth the indigenous ideology of the land representing home. The space will bring shade and much needed park space to the area where children can play and learn within various outdoor classrooms and playgrounds. To further enhance and give identity to the space, sparking imagination and creativity, expressive alebrije play structures connected by cat walks enclose spaces and protrude out from the forest. The Alebrije structures are meant to pique a sense of discovery and exploration, guiding the visitor through the site, creating a sense of destination and protection within the forest.

Home Away From Home
Software Used: Sketchup, Rhino, Illustrator, Enscape, Revit, Photoshop
Home Away From Home was developed in the Bobby Brooks studio, a collaboration between Cal Poly and Disney Imagineering. It is narrativefocused and cross-disciplinary between architecture and
landscape architecture. I was a member of four, two architects and two landscape architects. Our group was assembled on the fi rst day of class and we spent the entire semester developing Home Away From Home.
Now I had previously worked with others before in both academic and professional settings but not to this degree. We had four cooks in the kitchen that needed to produce one cohesive project.

Indigenous Village
Home Away From Home
Program
Our program is an indigenous village for collaboration and cultural exchange. As a team, we learned to use each other’s strengths to deliver a strong project. My talent was visualization and I rendered the fi nal boards for all four members. In addition to collaborating, we each were responsible for a speci fi c
program. Mine is The Indigenous Activities Center. It is a place to learn, play, explore, and dream. It is a fl exible pavilion dedicated to the learning done in the home. Indigenous languages are a crucial aspect of their culture, tied to their traditions, stories, and history. The Indigenous Activities Center provides a fl exible program to teach these languages and pass

on these rich cultures. This is a pavilion with partitions that can lock in place along tracks. The louvered roof system allows sunlight to pass or provide shading. These elements allow for a fl exible space capable of meeting several needs of the community, from smaller classrooms to display and workshop areas.
