IMMERSION AT LAZARUS
SPITRITUAL RETREAT | 2023 SEMESTER 2
Carved into the soil, this spiritual retreat creates a relationship between light and internal forms that communicate a tactile celestial experience of spiritual renewal and connection through sanctification. The design blends into the landscape as the form suggests 3 distinct expressions of faith: Falll of Creation, True Repentence, and Sanctification. Symbolic to purity and baptism, water and its reflections become a physical transition into new life, the final sanctuary.

MIXED USE | 2022 SEMESTER 1
Where there are two or more components coming together, there is a join that provides strength and stability. In the same way, the design of the wood shop and residence become one unit by blending the linear foundational structure into a sculptural molded skin that creates unity in joining two individualistic components. The structure is meant to be experiential, a tactile feature, to reveal the strength of the connections.

FLUX FILMS
CINEMA | 2023 SEMESTER 2
This center for cinema and community was conceptualized through the poetic visualization of vignettes in film, influential storytelling devices from the silent films to contemporary films today. As the film reel would spin around the axis, the film would move through the projector, taking the individual framed images and seemlessly creating an ensemble of entertainment. Likewise, the influx of people continuously circulating within and outside of the building creates a datum along which the program follows. Only from within the encircling spine of circulation can one start to piece together the different facets of the architecture and formuate a whole realization of form.
