BIOGRAPHY Currently in my thesis year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, I am majoring in architecture with a minor in construction management. For the past three years I have been an interior design and architecture intern for public/corporate projects, office interiors and renovation, healthcare, and exhibition interiors.

As a drafter and designer, I am actively progressing my skills in project coordination and construction. Project workflow has primarily occurred in BIM/ Revit, Bluebeam, Rhino, and Grasshopper. Given my current project work, my next goal in my career is to expand my project diversity and design phases. In order to open doors for myself and make an impact on the world, I must first construct them - because behind every door and wall lie an architect and a story.

Pleat-In-A-Box

PLEAT-IN-A-BOX Arch 452/453 Winter/Spring 2020 Studio Stephen Phillips Clothing and architecture can be seen as two distinct sphere of reality that share similarities.

But it can also be seen synonymously in the sens that both clothing and architecture shelter + protect its user group, are composed around human proportions + scale, consist of skin + structure, have entrances + exits, and are both detailed + progressive.

Located in betwen the fashion and financial district of downtown Los Angeles, the project aims to explore themes of fabric as a building facade, while incorporating hotel, housing, retail, office, and showroom program.

“Methodology,” Concept.

AS AIRPLANES ARRIVE AT GATES, CARGO AND BAGGAGE ARE UNLOADED AND STORED IN THE TRANSPORTATION PODS. PASSENGERS WHO ARE DEPARTING CAN CHECK IN FOR THEIR FLIGHT AT THE TRANSPIRE HUB. TRANSPORTATION PODS ARE TRANSPORTED TO AND FROM THE TRANSPIRE HUB OR AIRPORT VIA THE AIRLINE EXPRESS RAIL LINE IN A FAST EXPEDITED PROCESS. PASSENGERS WHO ARE CHECKING INTO THE TRANSPIRE HUB DO NOT NEED TO GO TO BAGGAGE CLAIM TO OBTAIN THEIR BELONGINGS. DEPARTING PASSENGERS CAN DROP OFF THEIR BAGGAGE AT THE TRANSPIRE HUB, WHICH WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE TRANSPORTED TO THE AIRLINE AND LOADED ONTO THEIR FLIGHT. IN THIS MANNER, GUESTS DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT HAULING AROUND BAGGAGE BEFORE DEPARTURE. THEY CAN SIMPLY BOARD.

As planes arrive at terminal gates, cargo and baggage are unloaded and stored in the transportation pods. Passengers who are departing can check in for their flight at the Transpire Hub.

Transportation pods are transported to and from the Transpire Hub or airport via the Airline Express Rail Line in a fast expedited process.

Passengers who are checking into the Transpire Hub do not need to go to baggage claim to obtain their belongings.

Departing passengers can drop off their baggage at the Transpire Hub, which will automatically be transported to the airline and loaded onto their flight. In this manner, guests do not need to worry about hauling around baggage before departure.

They can simply board.
