ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 100D, 4TH YEAR STUDIO

1345 50TH STREET, RICHMOND

This integrated research studio pushed us to explore economies of architecture and their resulting formal and spatial qualities. I studied an economy of reuse through building with pallets, which account for 90% of wood in landfills and are a universal object. Over the semester I developed construction details using them and explored ways they can condition space through providing excessive insulation and filtering light. Their connections are primarily ratchet straps and other demountable methods to allow the pallets to be returned to circulation after the temporary structure is taken apart. The final building is a short term art institute that includes galleries, artists residences, and shared/ individual workspaces. The project sits in an old industrial area of Richmond and would also act as a public face for the nearby Eames Archives.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 100C, 4TH YEAR STUDIO

INSTRUCTOR: MYRNA AYOUB AZAR

1598 UNIVERSITY AVENUE, BERKELEY

This project focused on analyzing the context of Berkeley to reimage restaurant and housing typologys. We looked at and catalogued vernacular architecture to create a toolbox of formal elements, and drew maps of different scales to understand larger urban conditions. These studies informed our manifesto where we took a stance on the role of context in architecture today. Our explorations led us to designing a mixed-use building on a corner lot in central Berkeley, situated on the edge of a commercial corridor and a residential neighborhood. For my project I created a new typology using greenhouse forms that use typical archetype volumes in new orientations. These frames challenge the existing condition of a built environment that displaces nature; here they manipulate solid programmed volumes at their intersections.

A SOCIAL STRUCTURE

COMMUNITY & RECREATION CENTER, 35,000 SQ FT.

INSTRUCTOR: MARIA PAZ DE MOURA KING

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 100B, 3RD YEAR STUDIO

60 GRAND AVENUE, OAKLAND

We were tasked with designing a recreation and community center that serves the surrounding residents of downtown Oakland. Our program required meeting rooms, multipurpose spaces, and three main recreational programs as the core elements. The studio focused on structure and its ability to create both physical and virtual conditions. I became interested in how scaling column grids can dictate program placement and define circulation, especially in a project with such a variety of spatial needs. This manifested in organizing the basketball, rock climbing, and makers space programs in large volumes connected to a central cube. This core has community spaces scattered throughout and promotes interaction through forced movement and sectional connections.

ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE AND WORKING DRAWINGS

INSTRUCTOR: EVANGELINE LOGAN

321 GOLF CLUB DRIVE, PLEASANT HILL

This project challenged us to design a house using conventional stick framing with a maximum footprint of 20’ x 20’. We modeled the building and created a construction drawing set in Revit for our final submission. This included sheets such as wall assemblies, door and window schedules, and framing plans. The following pages are a handful of drawings from the set that were fully produced and annotated within Revit.
