Ebb & Flow Tower How can architecture provide welfare for community?

Fall 2022 | ARC4011 Precast Concrete Topic Studio | Prof. Axel Schmitzberger Hawaii is situated within the “Pacific Ring of Fire” that makes the residents vulnerable to tsunamis. The Ebb & Flow Tower is a precast concrete structure that proposes amenities for the local community during daily and emergency use.

This studio was a group project with Kristen Ayap and Ireri Blanco of Cal Poly Pomona and in collaboration with Mickey Chacon at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. Each member was designated one of three sites with individual designs. All designs and drawings featured are productions of Ryan Yamada. Software used includes Rhino, D5 Render, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and AnkerMake.

Silver Lake Shed How can density encourage socially flexible spaces?

Spring 2022 | ARC3021 Third Year Studio | Prof. Roberto Sheinberg The need for density in Los Angeles will ultimately form unique communities of various neighbors. The Silver Lake Shed is a proposed mixed use building that embraces this vision through the available combination of live-work, intergenerational family, and single units.

The live-work and intergenerational units are connected through private stairs. The stacked rooms allow for ambiguous sense of privacy and interconnectedness between family members and commercial space.

Software used included Rhino, Revit, D5 Render, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

OneEleven Stadium How can architecture provide for different user experiences?

Spring 2023 | ARC4021 Sports Architecture Studio | Prof. Marc Schulitz The ciruclation paths of the four primary users of stadiums (i.e. athletes, press, staff, and spectator) should avoid intersections to enhance the experiences respectfully. The OneEleven Stadium is a proposed cricket stadium. Various design elements encourages an internal 360 degree visual and spatial experience.

The masterplan was a collaboration with Geraldine Quinteros Gudiel, David Lozano, Aiko Masaki, Cynthia Tran and Marco Zhao. The stadium design was in partnership with David Lozano. Software used includes Rhino, Lumion, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
