Cairo
With over 5,000 years of urban development and population expansion along the fertile Nile River, the city of Cairo has flourished, expanded, and became one of the most dense metropolitans in the world. Cairo relied on the flooding of the Nile for navigation and to control irrigation/soil for agriculture. To be able to control the longest river in the world, a series of dams were built. Just 600 miles off the boundary of Cairo lies the Aswan Dam, which is used to generate hydroelectric power and protect the people and crops from yearly floods. However at the rate of population and density expansion into the Sahara Desert and agricultural fields, it is feared that Cairo will no longer have the means to sustain its future generations.

The concept lies within the acquisition of information and ideas. From the moment ideas become comprehensible at a young age, information is accumulated and stored in the human brain. These are processes known as encoding, storage, retention, and retrieval. Much like the human brain, a library functions similarly. Yet, the library of the future seeks to respond to the telescopic nature of evolutionary change, where the trajectory of change and information are growing exponentially. We see this growth through technology. While technological tools have transcended into a cultural phenomenon, the acquisition of information has become effortless. The proposal in this design seeks to pull apart the program, allowing for a space where there is an open exchange of information and a free flow of ideas. By cultivating openness between the library and the cultural center, information and ideas have a space to grow, spread, and fuse.

NOMAD
NOMAD is derived from the concept of nomadic architecture combined with robotics wrapped in the framework of a user interface platformed on an ipad. Proposed as an alternative means for RV culture and road-reliant navigation, Nomad allows more flexibility in traveling, connecting, and everyday life. It serves as an interesting prototype in observing human-machine and machine-environment interaction.

I began by playing with the idea of a box. A box can hold many things. A large enough box can hold an Orbiter. In terms of form, a box clones one of the most basic 3D geometrical figures, a cube. The idea of a box also poses many questions. What does it contain? What is it made of? How is it shaped? Does it break apart or open? How or what makes it break apart or open? When I pulled the box apart, again I was left with more questions. What is revealed, and what is still hidden? Is there a box within a box? Or do we discover a moldable form that was shaped from the act of pulling the box apart?

By challenging the question of how the iconic Endeavour should be viewed, the concept of the design began to morph into viewing and creating a space for more than just the Orbiter. A void is created by a simple gesture of pulling two programmatic areas apart. What is left is an open and sculptural space in the center of the two halves, shifting the focal point from the space shuttle to the void space. This exterior open aired plaza becomes a 360-degree viewing experience for the people of Los Angeles, whether they are shuttle enthusiasts or not.

Standing in the center, one can see the Gallery for the Orbiter on one side, the Air and Space Gallery on the other, and framed views of Downtown Los Angeles. Users can walk through the plaza and experience the shear height and grandeur of the space, a striking comparison to the vastness of space. From there, they can decide to either enter the galleries, lounge in the open central plaza, or continue on their way.

The variation in the pattern of the façade was used to break down the height of the space, highlight the flow of circulation through the galleries, and also emphasize the concept of unity between what is enclosed and what is revealed.

As a design response to the lack of bike parking and seating on usc’s campus, an iterative hybrid design process through parametric software was proposed as an example for a research, design, build course. Anamorphosis, defined as a distorted projection or drawing that appears normal when viewed from a particular point, can combine a series of profiles to create a myriad of multi-use hybrids. The fundamental idea utilizes specific site information, programmatic data, and pedestrian flow to shape each instance and react to its environment.

It’s this act of losing yourself beyond the pages, beyond the words, beyond the meaning and coming out the other end transformed, that serves as the metaphor in this experiment. When we manifest the words into our imagination and dive head first into the unknown, we simulate an engaging intellectual exercise. The labyrinth within showcases this sense of perspective, illuminating how we lose ourselves, and then find ourselves in the end.

The ‘bio-reactors’ not only produce biomass that can subsequently be harvested, but they also capture solar thermal heat both energy sources can be used to power the building. In practice, this means that photosynthesis is driving a dynamic response to the amount of solar shading required, while the micro-algae growing in the glass louvers provide a clean source of renewable energy.” - Evolo, Micro-Algae Prove Ideal for Making Green Facades

Cairo ed on the flooding of the Nile for navigation and to control irrigation/soil for agriculture. To be able to trol the longest river in the world, a series of dams were built. Just 600 miles off the boundary of Cairo the Aswan Dam, which is used to generate hydroelectric power and protect the people and crops m yearly floods. However at the rate of population and density expansion into the Sahara Desert and cultural fields, it is feared that Cairo will no longer have the means to sustain its future generations.
