Test to create pockets of spaces and surfaces
CONCRETE MASSING MODEL (FRONT)
CONCRETE MASSING MODEL (BACK)
FRAGMENT 1
To “break down” the Fascist building, fragment 1 uses shifting surfaces to create the effect the structure is being dissambled through vibrations.
FRAGMENT 2
To “break down” the Fascist building, fragment 2 uses the idea of “smallness” to break down the “one voice for all” Fascist ideology. This fragment divides the space from one to many.

CUI RESIDENCE
Single family residence
SITE: 24460 Los Altos Hill, California, USA

In this residential project, I was responsible for making a physical model for mass testing and drawing a site plan.
Working with the terrain and exisiting vegetaion, our team experimented variations of massings to find an ideal orientation that complimented the landscape and the function of the house.
SITE PLAN
SELECTED MASS
In this project, I was able to use plan drawing and models as tools to test mass variations while taking sunglight, vegetation, and land relief into consideration to find the ideal residence placement.
