HOW CAN DIVERSE COMMUNITIES FIND A COMMON GROUND? IT STARTS BY CREATING MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS. AN ALLOCATED PLACE TO CONVENE
ENCOURAGES STORYTELLING AND THE MERGING OF UNIQUE LIFE PATHS. THE NODE PULLS TOGETHER OLD AND NEW GENERATIONS OF STRANGERS TO WEAVE A NEW SCENE IN DOWNTOWN REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA

SITE PLAN | GROUND FLOOR
WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS OF THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS SURROUNDING THE SITE, THE NODE TAKES INSPIRATION AND SPRINGS UP FROM THE GROUND AS WELL. IT GIVES ITS RESIDENTS A PLACE FOR RECREATION, MEETING AND THEATER-GOING.
PARTI
TRANSFERRING A CONCEPTUAL IDEA TO BECOME ARCHITECTURE...
THIS ABSTRACT DIAGRAM SHOWS THE CIRCULATION OF THE PROGRAM
BASEMENT, THEATER FLOORPLAN WITH RAYTRACING
PROGRAM CIRCULATION ALLOWS FOR COMPLETE SITE USAGE, A FULLY SUBMERGED THEATER, MEETING ROOMS AND OFFICE SPACE ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND AN AMPITHEATRE TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS.
THE NODE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER IS A MAGICAL ESCAPE TO THE WORLD OF THEATER!
AT MIT CAMPUS, WHERE DO STUDENTS HAVE A SAFE SPACE?
WHERE CAN THEY GO FOR SOME SPIRITUAL ANSWERS OR TO FIND A GREATER SENSE OF PURPOSE?
NO MATTER YOUR FAITH OR JOURNEY, THE BEAM WELCOMES
ALL TO STUDY AND LEARN ABOUT CHRISTIANY. IT IS A PLACE TO FEEL AT EASE.
PROGRAMS: REVIT, TWINMOTION, ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP
THROUGH THE USE OF LIGHT, WE CAN TRANSFORM A SPACE TO EVOKE EMOTIONS. FILTERS DIRECT AND ORCHESTRATE HOW LIGHT WILL PERFORM.
HOW CAN LIGHT BE USED TO GIVE HUMANS A FEELING OF TRANSCENDENCE THROUGH ARCHITECTURE?
TO ME, IT MUST BE THE MAIN FOCUS, THE CORE OF A BUILDINGS PERSONALITY!
VEILS OF GLASS
ATOMIZATION: SIFTING LIGHT THROUGH A SCREEN
CANALIZATION: CHANNELING LIGHT THROUGH OPENING
LUMINESCENCE: MATERIALIZATION OF LIGHT IN PHYSICAL MATTER
THIS WAFFLE-PARASOL SHOWS HOW A SIMPLE DESIGN CAN BE STRONG.
EVEN THOUGH THE STRUCTURE FITS IN THE PALM OF A HAND, IT IS STRONG
ENOUGH TO BE STEPPED ON OR STOOD ON. BY VARYING THE TRUNK SIZES AND
REPEATING SEGMENTS, IT RESEMBLES A FOREST CANOPY, A CONNECTED SYSTEM WHERE SHADE AND SAFETY IS PROVIDED.
THE SKIN OF THIS CATENARY STRUCTURE SHOWS SCALED INTRICACY IN THE RHYTHMIC PATTERN THAT FLOWS FROM BEGINNING TO END. INTRICACY IN THIS DESIGN SHOWS A PORTAL-LIKE EXPERIENCE AND REMINDS US THE COMPLEXITY OF THE UNIVERSE.
CONCEPTUAL RENDER
TO BECOME A BUTTERFLY, A CATERPILLAR MUST GO THROUGH DRAMATIC CHANGE. ALTHOUGH THIS TRANSFORMATION TAKES PLACE INTERNALLY, WE CAN
LOOK AT WHAT THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE- SKIN AND TEXTURE PROVIDE BEAUTY AND PROTECTION, JUST LIKE ARCHITECTURE CAN FOR HUMANS.

ANGEL’S FLIGHT, LOS ANGELES
AS MY PASSION FOR TRAVEL GROWS, I AIM TO IMMERSE MYSELF IN CULTURES WORLDWIDE.
IN THIS PRECEDENT STUDY I WAS TASKED TO RECREATE MY FAVORITE BUIDLING, TRANSFORM IT, AND TAKE A LOOK AT HOW LIGHT AFFECTS THE SOLID AND VOIDS.
BOTH IN THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF A BUILDING.

AN OBJECT TRAVELING THOUGH TIME AND SPACE.
THIS SITE OCCUPIES AN ENTIRE CITY BLOCK, LINED WITH RETAIL, BANKING, AND MUSEUMS.
