Nomad is a design proposal seeking to recharge California’s main aquifers by situating infiltration basins along the Sacramento and San Joaquin River systems. Recharging the aquifer seeds California with the potential for a future without water scarcity issues; a future in which water is readily available for drinking, farming, habitat growth and general needs of the population. The proposal’s premise envisions a post-oil future, rendering abandoned oil platforms located beside California’s west coast without purpose. Salvaging one such object may appear paradoxical, but re-using a prior infrastructural mechanism with a positive purpose reinterprets its previous negative denotation.

Problem: Tightly compacted soil and an abundance of hard surfaces leaves no refuge for rainwater and the water currently forced back into the ocean. Once water gains salinity, it must undergo an expensive process in order to become usable to humans. The lack of water-retention swales and reservoirs has left California’s aquifers depleted, leading to an abundance of water shortages. Currently the state depends on ground water overdraft, a practice which cannot continue indefinitely because it is the process of extracting groundwater beyond the equilibrium yield of the aquifer.
Solution: There is a need to replenish California’s aquifers by introducing situations which promote the percolation of rainwater back into the soil. Infiltration basins built within close proximity to river systems fill this role. The creation of water supply resources lead to flood prevention measures, equalization of the hydrological cycle and re-growth of ecological habitat. Despite the hydrological degradation from previous generations, the earth’s elasticity allows the opportunity to reintroduce adequate volumes of freshwater back to natural ecosystems.

As an infrastructural insurgent, both direct and indirect effects proceed from the platform’s presence. It is directly responsible for excavating infiltration basins, installing contextually urban water turbines and incubating catalyst vegetation for each basin habitat. When docked at an urban site, the platform shifts to assume the needs of the public, reacting to the flux which characterizes a vibrant urban condition. Indirectly, the growth and health of the larger urban system is affected by the platform’s potential to alter the flow of the urban system additionally after the platforms departure. Established ecological rehabilitation zones surrounding the basins ensure the initiative’s legacy after the journey’s completion and platform demolition.

Level one is accessible to the public when the platform is docked at various port cities. Interior programmatic flexibly allows for change of onboard functions depending on location or an era’s needs. The docking of the vessel at each port city marks the beginning of a new planting cycle in the nursery on level two. After departing, young plants are distributed to each sequential basin until the next city is reached. The cyclical renewal promotes native planting in each region of California. Level three is an outdoor/indoor observation deck.

Each basin repairs an area’s ecosystem by introducing native plants as catalysts, initiating the sequence to rebuild. Introducing percolation basins injects life into a previously declining system, promoting growth of new plants and animal species. These habitats also act as a legacy, continuing to flourish after the demolition of the platform.

Future use Designing for a new era signifies fabricating an architecture derived from that which we cannot see. This was an exercise in visually designing the city’s future architecture and interpreting energies which are foreign to the eye. Macroscopic narratives are invented as the structure duplicates itself across the city to combat the canyon effect, which causes pollutants to coagulate between high-rise buildings with impermeable facades. Macroscopically, pollutants are removed from the atmosphere by the filtration panels and their movements are recorded daily to be replayed the evening while illuminated.

The pavilion represents a suggested narrative of the Grand Tour; a noble rite of passage in the construction of our profession. Through section, we are met with a familiar typology, each screen an iconic representation of its associated whole. The interim space between each section has a transitory quality due to its variable pattern. Through the ceremonial process of graduation, each year the construct renews itself by creating a new spatial scenario through the interchange of pieces and ceiling components.

The proposed design for Truck to Table is an application of new-life reuse and adaptation through transformation of material. Unused food trucks are decommissioned every year, unfortunately coming to rest in landfills or scrap yards. This street furniture seeks to find new meaning for the materiality and spirit of these once vibrant enterprises by modifying their use from serving food to residing as an eating surface. All surfaces and structural components for the design are patterned from the skin of a salvaged trucks utilizing side, front and underbody components. Due to the homogenous surface used for both table surface and structure, strength is derived by folding each material, generating more rigidity for pieces such as supporting ribs. Oddities in the truck’s skin are celebrated as they create uniqueness and variation between the final products. The tables are aligned on the site in a similar pattern to the arrangement of adjacent food trucks. Linear repetition beside the shoreline brings definition to the design by grounding the subjects as a whole, leaving variation to differences found within each design. Each table dynamically changes through time as people, bicycles and herbs are plugged into each component, resulting in a varied experience with each visit. The structure is complete with the addition of turf blocks, subsequently grounding the design.

The proposed design lies in the heart of the Arts District, a vibrant and culturally significant area of Dallas, Texas. The project intends to create a suitable educational hub for the rising Dallas fashion scene, while incorporating a museum component as a effort to welcome visitors to the site. The DFI+M is a program for upper level study abroad students to advance in aspects of a collection design. The DFI+M bridges the gap between the private and public realms of fashion offering the general public insight into this intimate industry. This idea is accomplished by exploring the universality of a runway. The highly visible location of the second floor runway activates the plaza by unifying view, as a central focal point is established. During the day collections of dresses are visible in the runway corridor while on select evenings the space transforms into an event location displaying up-todate fashion trends. The runway also operates as the building spine central circulation corridor, feeding all other spaces. The monumental museum space, located on the first floor, displays historically influential clothing collections representing the industries past life. The uppermost floors are reserved for the fashion institute. The cyclical nature of fashion is reinforced as DFI’s programmatic organization from bottom floor to top floor represents the past, present and future of fashion.

The site for Chicago’s Philharmonic Hall completes Burnham’s envisioned plan for the city’s waterfront. The Philharmonic Hall was formed as a complex; a peninsula of suspended parts over Lake Michigan, leaving the north part of the site as public park space. The climatic conditions of Chicago offered an opportunity to examine a new perspective on adaptive architecture; an architecture responding to seasonal change as humans do with clothing. Therefore, an architectural typology was created to transform into its own micro climate based on external weather conditions. In this mechanistic approach, Chicago’s summer heat is more comfortable and the severity of the winter wind is diminished. In summer, the individual buildings are revealed and an openness is experienced as visitors walk through the open air promenade.
This scenario utilizes wind from Lake Michigan to cool visitors as well as shading devices. In colder temperatures an external shell, formerly collapsed around the perimeter of the entire structure, encapsulates the complex. The interim enclosure captures the sun’s heat, offering an alternative to actively heating the space. A buffer is simultaneously formed transversely reducing the amount of energy needed to heat the interior buildings. The perceived sense of enclosure additionally enhances innate emotions of warmth and safety. Aesthetically and emotionally, the dichotomy between summer and winter spaces fuse the natural and built worlds, both participating in cyclical processes.

From the beginning of the design phase, the aim was to provoke a sense of community by giving the public ample plaza space with nodes of informed activity. To achieve this notion, a walkway extends around the entirety of the complex and is open to the public all year round. Two enclosed gardens give visitors a place of respite in summer or winter along with a sculpture garden which occupies the roof level of the restaurant. Adjacent to the shop and lounge is a small elevated stage and gathering space intended for impromptu performances.

concert pavilion + urban renewal for Newcastle, AUS
The site given is the Newcastle Harbour Front Honeysuckle Development. This project called for an open air music facility including a public plaza and developed liminal condition between land and sea. The solution was a holistic proposal, blending green space with the urban, industrial context of Newcastle. To accommodate the necessary volumetric needs for the concert venue, a large span roof provides shelter while minimizing vertical structural elements. The large scope of the project also included examining circulation paths from the train station to the venue. Wickham train station is the final station line; thus, high quantities of pedestrians are expected. A bridge was proposed to control and transport crowds across a busy roadway. The harbour is the lifeline of the city, acting as the main artery, transporting coal from Newcastle to locations around the world. Large vessels consistently pace the harbour, becoming a visual skipping stone to the iconic landmarks intermittently dispersed upon the opposite side of the waters edge. Nobbies point, the granary and sailboat dock are three such notable markers. I sought to reconnect these seemingly unobtainable objects of desire to the viewer on Honeysuckle Drive through the viewing portals, while the stage backdrop focuses attention on the lyrical quality of a tanker gliding effortlessly to its loading dock.

As a result the roof structure becomes a device for describing and challenging the notion of viewing using channels located in the space-frame. A portion of the channels strictly frame historical icons located in the view ahead. Other channels have an added periscopic mechanisms which results in viewing the scene directly behind the viewer, challenging ideas of habitual viewing.

This was an exercise in using reclaimed materials that would have likely been destined to a landfill. Our precedents included products from Modern Cabana, Kithaus and Modern Shed - all prefabricated kits/spaces designed for the suburban backyard and assembled by the consumer or by hiring a contractor. The precedents we examined were expandable and considered as outbuildings linked to the primary structure by walkways and other landscape features. The precedents utilized a range of programs: i.e., a guesthouse, a pool house, a workshop, an art studio, etc. Our prototype, developed and built full scale by the entire studio, is 100 square feet and was conceived as a series of flat and L-shaped components for the floor, roof and walls. We chose to locate the unit behind the 1954 Snower House in Kansas City by Marcel Breuer. This example of Fifties Modernism was chosen over typical suburban homes as a means of focusing on the abstract patterning that is apparent in its use of plain and patterned concrete block, wood siding and De Stijl characteristics. Our prototype attempts to draw on “pattern” as a systematic guideline to assemble found materials that often require overlap and stagger in order to function as structure or skin. This notion of “pattern” is also found in the transformation of suburban areas over time, where boats, pools, porches, sheds, landscape features, etc., were placed in the back and side yards of homes in order to provide the owner greater functionality or the sense that their home is episodic with ever changing function. Snower House
Our prototype operates on a simple variation (an anecdotal theme) as the black paint renders the “patterned” and reverse mounted vinyl siding and modulated wood trim, into a mostly autonomous box. The box is subsequently fractured by a transformational south wall paving the way toward a more random interior “patterning” of modular panels and skylights. Our choice of utilizing a rotated full length-dressing mirror affixed on an interior wall concludes the desire to reference/re-dux the original house in as many “patterned” ways as possible.

In images 1+2, I collected recycled steel tubes as building members and used wire to fasten the objects. Next, I established building codes such as “only threads can touch other threads” and an overall size limitation in an attempt to create a systematically organized form. After a few trials of placing, attaching and recording placement, I ended with the model below. Images 3+4 are part of the next assignment of the studio in which each group was given limitations on paper “L” module sizes. We were asked to demonstrate techniques of creating space based on connections between members.

......................................................................................... Upper Right: The series of images describe our building progression. We began first by manufacturing key modules such as the floor, wall and roof components. Next, construction included: (1) Fastening all floor components together (2) Erecting modular “L” and straight wall elements to the base. (3) Positioning the three roof segments while ensuring all connections were secure. (4) Installing windows, the skylight and touching up final details.
