Mixed Use Multi Family Residential
Third Year Design Studio (Spring 2022) This is the beginning of the design of a mixed use multi family residential project. The building is designed for 10 units of housing for artists, with plenty of open space for the residents to use as work spaces. The ground floor hosts a maker studio that the residents can showcase their work in while also being open to the public as a center for innovation. The buildng’s appearance is a series of individual rugged blocks which are carved out of larger original volumes.

Tsunami Evacuation Tower
Fourth Year Topic Studio (Fall 2022) This tower is situated in a preservation zone in Kalama Beach in Kailua, Oahu. As one of three proposed evacuation towers in Hawaii, this project maintains the basic skeleton and pattern of the group’s base structure but elongates the building outline. The precast double tee has a wave-like shape, representing “Kailua” which translates to “two seas.” The local context of the Beach Club area and the enlargement of the floor plates allows for more people to inhabit the levels without needing to build up as high as the base tower. The facade came with a different approach, an oblique metal facade that took into account the datum lines from the stairs as well as the non-linear datums that came from the residential homes around. Overall the building’s porosity allows for ease of movement on the ground level and visual transparency to better fit a residential area. 10

Stadium + Sports Performance Center Fourth Year Topic Studio (Spring 2023) This stadium proposal is designed to house specifically track and field events. To serve the athletes, a sports performance center is a connected structure that houses program to support the athletes’ health and development. Using the dynamic movements and fluidity of track and field event partterns as inspiration, the structure translates the movement to a fabric. The ETFE roof begins to take on a weaving and pattern making inspired by tartan fabrics with their overlapping regularieites. This fabric is stretched over the metal structure of a compression ring and tied into the dramatic flanges as fabric is stretched over a loom. The horseshoe shape is present not only in the roof, but also the form of the building. The horseshoe shape keeps the building enclosed but also open. This results in a monolithic base that has a supporting enclosure but is still open to the outside. 15

Website Banner Design and Logo Work
Student Innovation Idea Labs, CPP Student Innovation Idea Labs (SIIL) at Cal Poly Pomona offers equipment training such as 3D printing and laser cutting to students which promotes and supports creativity and innovation on campus. A new program called Innovator’s Harvest showcases student work that has been made using the spaces, tools, and training SIIL provides. This created a need for graphics to promote the program and a logo to symbolize the innovation and creation that will be showcased by students.
