Concept Statement

The Community Food Hub and Education Center addresses food insecurity by creating a transparent, sustainable space that provides fresh, locally grown produce while educating residents on nutrition and urban farming. Located in a brick-built neighborhood lacking vegetation, the design introduces greenery and accessibility from all sides to engage the community.

The three-level structure reflects natural ecosystems and supports learning and collaboration: Ground Level: A neutral, soil-inspired marketplace designed to foster farm-to-table connections. This space provides direct access to fresh food and serves as a community gathering point, promoting education on nutrition and sustainable food practices.

Second Level: A workspace with two distinct zones. The bright, green-accented open collaboration area symbolizes growth and engagement, while the darker research lab represents water, essential for sustaining life and supporting agricultural study.

Third Level: A vibrant rooftop garden that optimizes natural light for urban agriculture. This space doubles as an educational hub where visitors can learn hands-on farming techniques and experience the benefits of sustainable food systems firsthand.

Sustainability is central, utilizing locally sourced materials and a vertical garden to reduce carbon emissions. Transparency in food production fosters community connection, while the material palette mirrors nature’s cycles, reinforcing the center’s mission of nourishment and environmental well-being.

Guiding Principles Integration – Foster interactive and transparent spaces that encourage connection, learning, and engagement between community members, researchers, and educators.

Sustainability – Prioritize environmentally responsible design, local food systems, and long-term resource efficiency to support a healthier future.

Community – Cultivate a sense of belonging by creating spaces that promote shared experiences, knowledge exchange, and collective growth.

Equitable Access – Ensure inclusive design that provides equal opportunities for all, regardless of background, ability, or location, making healthy food and education accessible to everyone.

PROGRAM SUMMARY

sh Fre

This facility reimagines the role of urban agriculture in addressing food inequality.

Located in underserved neighborhoods, it combines community education with research-driven innovation to confront limited access to healthy food. Through indoor vertical farming, it tests and shares efficient growing methods, while public programs teach residents essential skills in nutrition and self-reliance. The result is a hybrid space that supports both immediate needs and long-term community wellness.

CONCEPT The Farm Food Desert and Research Facility addresses food insecurity in low-income neighborhoods by providing fresh, locally grown produce and hands-on programs in gardening, cooking, and nutrition. At its core is a research hub for indoor vertical farming, developing scalable solutions for urban food production.

WHAT ARE OUR GROWING SYSTEMS? Hydroponics is a way to grow plants without using soil. Instead, the plants grow in water that’s full of nutrients. Their roots are either directly in the water or in a material that holds moisture, like clay pellets. This method uses much less water than traditional farming and takes up less space, making it ideal for indoor or urban environments.

private

main entrance

Aeroponics is also soil-free, but the roots don’t sit in water. Instead, they hang in the air and get misted with a nutrient-rich solution. Since the roots are exposed to more oxygen, the plants often grow faster and healthier. Aeroponics uses even less water than hydroponics and is very efficient.

The chair comprises two primary pieces that are intentionally designed to work together. These pieces are not self-sufficient; they rely on one another for structural integrity and balance.

This approach challenges the idea of a singular, standalone object by prioritizing a partnership between components, much like teammates relying on one another to succeed.

During assembly, the two parts are slotted and secured into place, forming a unified structure. The connection points are deliberately placed to highlight the dynamic interaction between the two components. Once assembled, the chair demonstrates its stability and elegance as a collaborative form, with each piece actively supporting the other.

Inclusive Design begins with empathy—recognizing that every group includes diverse needs. We don’t need to know every individual's story, but we must acknowledge their needs as real and valid. Designing for diverse users must be a starting point, not an afterthought.

Nearly 1 in 4 Americans live with a disability, facing challenges in mobility, hearing, vision, or cognition. These barriers can limit access to healthcare, nature, and community. As designers, we have a responsibility to create spaces that are equitable and accessible for all.

Project: Insight Juvenile Detenion Trauma Recovery Center Year : 2023 Programs : Revit | Lumion | Indesign My thesis highlights the urgent need for trauma-informed care and comprehensive mental health services within juvenile detention centers. Through research, I uncovered significant deficiencies in the Juvenile Justice System, including inadequate mental health support, harmful disciplinary practices like solitary confinement, and insufficient education. These issues leave many incarcerated youth unprepared for life beyond detention, creating barriers to successful reentry and employment. My work advocates for systemic changes that prioritize rehabilitation over punishment, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among detention staff, families, and community programs to better support vulnerable young people.

Youth in the juvenile justice system face significant psychological stress, mental health challenges, and academic setbacks due to poor education in detention centers. Group therapy offers a sense of connection, helping participants realize they’re not alone in their experiences. These therapy rooms are designed to foster safety and comfort, with movable furniture to adapt to various interactions and session dynamics.

Custom Bed

Children express themselves through color and emotion, but Juvenile Detention Facilities often strip this away, replacing vibrant environments with a grayscale monotony and limited natural light. Since a bedroom reflects personal identity, custom builtins and dormitories with four color and wallpaper options provide a sense of home and comfort, fostering personalization and emotional well-being.

Journey from Injury to Recovery

Independence An athletic injury is more than a physical setback; it challenges the mind and identity of an athlete.

Recovery begins with addressing the physical impact, whether through surgery or physical therapy, in spaces designed to promote healing and focus. Rehabilitation facilities that incorporate natural light, calming colors, and biophilic elements create a sense of tranquility, reducing stress while enhancing physical progress.

These environments, coupled with advanced equipment and clear recovery pathways, lay the foundation for rebuilding strength and mobility.

Connection to Nature

Psychology Therapy

Equally important is supporting the athlete's mental recovery. The psychological toll of an injury, whether it leads to a return to sport or an unexpected career shift, can be immense. Therapy spaces designed with warmth and privacy, along with access to nature— through gardens, trails, or natural views—help athletes process emotions and reconnect with themselves. These holistic spaces enable them to rediscover confidence, find clarity, and prepare for their next chapter, whether it's stepping back onto the field or embracing a new purpose beyond the game.
