As my first strong passion for skateboarding enabled me to seek interest in multiple art forms from photography, illustration, fashion, music, etc. More significantly, architecture was something I learned to be fascinated by and became interested in. As skaters, we will go around cities to explore areas to skate, especially in urban plazas. We observe architecture differently, but the idea of architecture as the meeting ground between all types of people to interact and experience was something I was fascinated about. As I pursue my future in architecture, I will hope to learn and create spaces that can bring all kinds of people together to enjoy.

FORESTAZIONE
In the ancient city of Rome, Stone Pine or Pinus Pinea, can be seen everywhere throughout the city. Stone pine is a pine tree that is grown along the Mediterranean coast, with a feature of having a tall and slender body with a large umbrella-like canopy. These tree has become the city’s symbol and the concept behind the new stadium, Stadio della Roma. The stadium will be the new home for A.S. Roma and a central hub to hold community events for the people. The vast array of stone pine surrounding the stadium will create an open atmosphere that blurs the space between indoor and outdoor. The large canopy imitating the stone pine covers the majority of the site to provide shading and an inviting environment for every person that is experiencing the space. The Stone Pine and the large structural canopy imitates the expression of being in a forest while celebrating for their home team.

Glass Canopy
Glass canopy encompasses the entire stadium as well as the retail area located on the outskirt. The ambitious structure will mimic a forest-like atmosphere that provide a intermediate space between indoor and outdoor for the users.
Traditionally, Italian gardens are known to be based on symmetry and be more linear geometry when comes to placing plants. The Stone Pines are carefully transplanted along the tree columns in orderly way to give the expression of the Italian garden that shades the whole stadium.
The organic form allows to use a quadrilateral geometry panels. The shape will accomplish the free form design intentions that can be more fluid. The structure will use a simple mullion connections attached to tree column with the glass panels placed on top.

LINK BETWEEN GENERATIONS
Transit station brings many different demographic from young and old, by creating a centralized space where they can access easily without interrupting the bus circulation was the challenge. The massing, which is separated into two, signify the split between two generations with a pedestrian access between them. Perpendicular to the pedestrian access is the bus circulation which bridges over representing the connection between the two. The overhanging canopy will have a triangular form, giving the sense of gathering where the two generation meet. The pedestrian access goes under the site to create a tunnel like passageway to give an intimate space before you enter into the main central space. By arriving at the central space both generations will celebrate together linking the split between them.

Form
The form was dictated by the function of the transit hub while maintaining the easy access for both vehicular and foot traffic. The site is located between two main parks in Tulsa, creating a connection between the two was ideal.

MOVIMIENTO
The hotel provides a simple geometric form that reaches only 100ft tall, to prevent being a monumental building since the city of Flagstaff does not have any large scale buildings. The form of the hotel is bent to represent movement to highlight the landscape that is in between the school and the hotel. While the school is laid out in scattered from, the hotel envelopes the entire spatial program in to one mass. Although, the kitchen is shared between the restaurant and the schools dining facility, the location of the restaurant is between the two buildings. While the mass may be simple, the “The movement” represented by the roof will provide a shelter in the restaurant and will meander through the hotel creating voided spaces by carving out spaces such as the lobby and terraces. The roof also provide structure for the hotel while being a sculptural element in spaces such as the atrium, where the roof projects from the ground level to the fifth level to create a roof in the suite guest room. Overall the hotel is design to be simple, yet provide a place to be remembered, where guest can experience the expression of movement provided by the spaces.
· Wood is chosen to as the primary material to use for this project, since wood allows a very comforting atmosphere to the spaces and imposes construction challenges.

The roof structure will become the vital moment connecting two programs, hotel and school. The structure will be an interior element creating a warm spatial atmosphere as well as becoming a sculpture for the hotel. While it become a shading structure for the school.

The wooden structure continues from the school creating a restaurant space as well as a shade for the pool area. When the structure goes into the hotel it becomes a interior element that becomes a sculptural moment throughout the hotel atmosphere.

The expression of the project’s duality will cultivate a healthy work setting while capturing the attention of those in the surrounding urban area. A mezzanine with high ceilings, ample natural light, and an open office layout will foster a collaborative atmosphere for the staff. By displaying the dual nature of the public and private zones, the multifaceted façade will introduce visitors to the facility. Concrete cladding with vertical punched windows indicates the location of the private areas while metal panels and glass encase the cantilevered walkways and gallery that project toward downtown Oklahoma City. Tailored circulation will guide guests around the perimeter of the building to the gallery. Seamless transitions in the per-ambulatory circulation will direct visitors around the assembly of spaces and offer glimpses of the surrounding skyline and park. Selective inlets for light and occasional views of the courtyard will contrast with the sheltered passages to the exhibit area. As visitors progress from the lobby to the gallery, they will experience transitions between light and dark, vegetal and mineral, following a curated path beginning with intrigue and ending with education.

The project were given 4 specific programs that operated the entire facility. The private collection space were decided to be located at the bottom to be efficient with accessibility for loading and unloading. While having the public collection be located on top for easy access.
