01-ARCHITECTURE IN FILM A concept study from a visual arts course including three film environments (the Tony Stark mansion in Iron Man 3, the Titanic, and the Tron Safehouse) analyzed through digital collage recombined into one bedroom scheme. The vertical fountain wall and lighting come from Iron Man 3, the portholes and flooring from the Titanic, and the tufted navy bed, black rock wall, and chandelier from Tron.
(Concept Study)
SOURCE ENVIRONMENTS ANALYZED AND DIGITALLY COLLAGED BEFORE COMBINING INTO THE FINAL SCHEME.
02-LULAC Proposal of West Coast headquarters for LULAC, offering ESL classes, citizenship support, and workforce training for the local Latino community. The interiors stage a public plaza, classrooms, and a library/resource are as a sequence that visitors move through, an inclusive and welcoming alternative to government institutions.
(School Project)
03-DOROTHY CHANDLER PAVILION Renovation of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion live performance venue in Los Angeles. Semicircular volumes are subtracted from the facade to frame city views, carving deep voids that share the light as it filteres into the interior from the ground-level lobby to the topfloor auditorium lounge. A sculptural mesh along the plaza forms a layered occupiable threshold for public gathering.
(School Project)
04-JAPANESE CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM Urban infill museum located in downtown Los Angeles organized around two central atrium voids that guide visitors from the lobby through a sequence of gallery, bookstore, and cafe. The facade is a Yabane-inspired panel design with varying opacities that filter daylight in to the interior, reflecting the Japanese concept of Notan-harmony through contrast.
(School Project)
05-DISNEYLAND A summer as a cast member working retail and parade control at Disneyland, working within a themed immersive environment and supporting live parade staging and crown flow along main routes granting me firsthand experience of how a built environment supports story and live performance on a large scale.
