MEMORIAL STADIUM 2012
new proposal for Seattle’s Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center. The project takes an urban design approach to create a more open facility that connects people, spaces and the varied programmatic elements of the Seattle Center campus. The design meets the requirements of the city’s Century 21 Masterplan and serves as a counterpoint to modern American stadium planning and design.

ION HOUSE
Collapsible / Deployable Housing
Arc 602 / Winter 2011 / Professor George Proctor
The Ion House explores potentialities for collapsible, expandible, deployable housing. The programmatic requirements allowed a maximum of 500 SF. The Ion House creates and leverages outdoor courtyard space to meet this goal while gaining an additional usable area for residents. The collapsed unit is designed to be transported on a crane-equipped low bed cargo truck and deployed onsite. It features two bedrooms with built-in storage, kitchen, bath, dining table and accomodations for one guest.

The outdoor social core creates a focal point for family life while two bedrooms on opposing sides allow for relative privacy. The bedrooms/ ex spaces expand from the center allowing the mechanical core to remain stationary. The kitchen table collapes to create an additional sleeping space for a guest.

LACHSA
LOS ANGELES COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS
The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA) offers a specialized magnate program combining college prep academic instruction and conservatory-style training in the visual and performing arts. Founded in 1985, the tuitionfree public school is run by the Los Angeles County Office of Education in partnership with and on the campus of California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA).
LACHSA will soon build its own 50,000 SF facility on the CSULA campus. The project will serve over 570 students in four separate arts disciplines. Programmatic requirements include studios, classrooms, offices, gathering spaces, a theater and supporting functions for students and faculty.

The design creates a dynamic space for interaction and learning. The project takes advantage of sweeping mountain views to the north and east, and an abundance of unobstructed northern light for studio spaces. The 30 ft elevation change is navigated by an exterior ramp that slices the facade and guides users through the building’s main communal space on the second floor. The design takes advantage of the hillside to create an open yet protected courtyard space for students to enjoy, aiming to strike a balance between engaging the greater CSULA campus and creating a safe, nurturing environment for its own students.

The project called for a 500 SF summer home for a filmmaker on a steep mountain hillside. The design creates a two story space to accomodate the need for both privacy and openness to the surrounding landscape. Geometrically abstracted yet responsive to the environment, each facade deals uniquely with its respective solar orientation and view. The bed and bath are located on the more protected upper level, while the lower level features an open floorplan with sliding glass walls that expand the space and connect inside and out.
