Worked as an architectural designer on the modular lighting system - concept design and mockup.
this is a modular system of inexpensive paper of plastic material that allows for maximum variability in different locations, using minimal numbers of parts. the intention is that this covering will be replaced on a regular annual or semi-annual basis, using a variety of changing colors and surface prints. this will offer a festival renewal quality to the system.
Material
Sample paper: 80LB (216g/m ) l 100 Brightness
High-quality, fairly thick paper, Canson or mylar that can cut and fold and hold sharp edges.
Ex: Side holes 1
Side: Use same holes on both sides
Ex: Top & Bottom holes 2
Upside: 2nd hole
Fabrication
The provided cut files and efficient layouts can be effectively cut using laser cutters or die-cut by a printer. For larger quantities, die-cutting will be retained to enable future cutting in various materials or colors.
InstallatIon
The system comprises a limited number of pieces with a straightforward installation method. Even untrained workers can swiftly become skilled and efficient in folding and installing these pieces. This allows large teams to work simultaneously, engaging each worker in the project’s creativity and design composition. This approach aims to make the work enjoyable while ensuring efficiency in the execution.

wander and wonder
“Wander and Wonder” is a concept that highlights how people are confined within the predefined pathways and walls of buildings, limiting their exploration to certain directions. the premise stems from observing a child at play, who explores their environment without a specific purpose or direction. this work is inspired by the idea of creating architecture solely dedicated to wandering, allowing individuals to experience spaces and structures designed for pure exploration.
the thesis aims to prompt reflection on the possibilities that arise when encountering spaces built entirely for wandering. it questions the potential discoveries and learnings that might emerge from experiencing environments specifically crafted to evoke a child’s sense of wonder. By introducing playful structures within architecture, the intention is to challenge and offer alternatives to our conventional ways of navigating the world. Ultimately, the goal is to provide architecture that fosters a sense of wandering and wonderment, offering new perspectives on how we interact with our surroundings.

this approach suggests that individuals will begin crafting their own pathways based on personal experiences and in response to new challenges, rather than adhering to predetermined routes dictated by structured spaces and conventional experiences. initially, one might navigate based on inherent movement inclinations, but gradually, this organic exploration may lead to a state of “wonder,” prompting curiosity and a desire for new discoveries.

pRoGRAm ANd SITE
the program encompasses a blend of retail/commercial spaces, office spaces, residential areas, light industry linked to food production, and agricultural activities. the site, presently functioning as a parking lot on 4th Street in Berkeley, lies opposite Spengers Restaurant. it’s positioned north of University Avenue, south of Hearst, west of 4th Street, and east of the railroad tracks.
the project is situated within an urban farm, surrounded by commercial, industrial, and residential blocks adjacent to the Berkeley train station. despite its isolation amidst larger industrial and commercial zones, the project serves as a passive connector for pedestrians and the urban area.
CoNNECTIoN
All program elements are internally connected, save for the residential area, which is somewhat segregated. this division of masses allows for the integration of farm lands while keeping the various program elements interconnected within the urban context.
fLExIBLE opENING TRANSfoRmATIoN of BuILdINGS
Based on the time, the commercial area features a “Bi-fold door” system enabling complete openness or closure. this system facilitates large openings for markets and courtyards. the building design prioritizes shielding against wind and train station noise, while simultaneously opening up towards 4th street. this design choice incorporates a lighter facade and extensive window openings, allowing ample sunlight into the commercial spaces and optimizing energy efficiency.
the construction is tailored to suit the various program elements. it includes a reinforced concrete structure, local stone cladding on the industrial buildings featuring rooftop farms, and wood insulation on the residential sections. these material choices align with the specific needs of each program component within the building.

Buried within the land of Hunter’s Point is a dark and contaminated history, and it continues to suffer immense challenges. Historically, Bay view/Hunter’s Point was a settlement for people who had nowhere else to go, but with remediation under way the community now faces numerous evictions and foreclosures. In light of the current master planning effort to redevelop Hunter’s Point and its resistance from existing communities, our proposal asks what a nomadic lifestyle could mean in contemporary terms, turning displacement and constant movement away from hostile conditions into a learned way of life. The aim is to create a community that is able to help itself and reconnect its patterns of settlement with conditions inherent in the land. With climate change, sea‐level rise, skyrocketing rents and other disasters, many of us will be forced to rethink our ownership of the land we inhabit, if we haven’t already. We believe our proposal is a low‐budget, practical and livable scheme that maximizes the available land at Hunter’s Point. Working in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a master python script that determines zones that are safe, programming and building materials will be determined by the W remediation schedule. As parcels open up to residential use and toxicity begins to fade, the community gathers together and moves its development to the next clean parcel in a “festival of radiation.”

Radiation Festival_1st Season
Contemporary cities have the challenge of making the most of available resources while facing an increasing population density and scarcity of space. Food trucks and bookmobiles are now familiar additions to the urban landscape; what if we expanded mobile programming to clinics, retail, and other services? mixed-use facilities and mobile programming can provide a way to maximize the built environment while turning what would otherwise be deserted districts into active destinations throughout the day.

The dwelling is intended for a sculpture artist who specializes in crafting abstract sculptures primarily from wood and found objects, varying in sizes. The artist spends 6-9 months of the year in Oakland as part of a gallery residency, dedicating time to creating pieces for inclusion in OAM’s exhibits and teaching at an affiliated Arts Center. The design of the dwelling should accommodate space for collection, creation, and storage of artworks.

VELODROME + DANCE STAGE

Instructor_ Kyle Steinfeld / Mark Anderson
Selected as a distinguished Award from “Circus” 2013 UC Berkeley
The site, Strawberry Canyon, situated in the Berkeley hills, is designated for the design of a Velodrome and Dance performance stage. The design harmonizes with the natural conditions of the site, ensuring uninterrupted circulation for people amid the built environment. The terrain slopes downward from East to West, flanked by high and low slopes on both sides of the site.
Spaces are seamlessly integrated into the terrain, allowing people to follow natural flows while observing racing and dancing in open spaces. Accessibility is a priority, achieved through the orientation of the built structures and their fully exposed entrances. Seating and hallways within the built environment blend into the natural site conditions. Internally, various levels are interconnected, promoting free circulation among different spaces.
Over time, the buildings take shape organically, resembling nature’s growth, akin to trees thriving under the influence of sunlight and wind. Rather than forcing the construction of walls and spaces, the structures evolve gradually, as if being generated naturally.
