PLANNING URBAN

These projects utilize two different strategies to approach an urban fabric and find opportunities to energize a community. The first delves into a Los Angeles site and re-imagines the potential of the street to change the traditional house to street relationship. The second utilizes grasshopper script to adapt the Mondrian division strategy to correlate with urban planning.

and

The traditional understanding of suburban and domestic boundaries no longer serves contemporary urbanism. The recurring condition within the domestic fabric of South Los Angeles of the individualized home can be imagined to revitalize and infill dead spaces into a community threshold condition, which protects the safety and livelihoods of residents while simultaneously integrating a new urban landscape into a previously suburban neighborhood.

equilibrium of proportions

This project began with an analysis of the Schroder House by Gerrit Rietveld and evolved into a masterplan strategy based on the mathematic principles that Piet Mondrian used for his designs. The divisions and color blocks are associated with different programs and rulesets.

Each project explores a different scale of the commercial and public realm. In particular, each focuses on building a connection with the street and an interactive pedestrian experience.

SLICE

Slice is a theoretical proposal for a mixed use office building for Prospect New Orleans, the hosts of a triennial arts exhibition in the city of New Orleans. The goal of the design is to create a building that continually performs as an exhibtion space while meeting user demands.

PHASES

Competition entry for an installation in Plaza Escuelas Trevijano, located in Northern Spain, that is constructed out of 80% wood materials provided by wood supplier that is one of the groups that holds the competition. The intent of the design was to reimagine the typical relationship that visitors of the plaza feel in terms of the two main objects in the square, the tree and the statue.

HOUSING

In the spring of second year, I explored three different approaches to home design: horizontal, vertical, and sectional. My goal throughout each phase was to provide equal opportunity to interact with the outdoors. The three phases culminated in an aggregated housing proposal. In my fifth year, I returned to multi-family housing design while exploring a theoretical competition entry.

HORIZONTAL STRATEGY PHASE

Each room has equal access to an outdoor space to which it can be completely opened.

VERTICAL STRATEGY PHASE

Every level of the vertical apartment balances on the creation of a protected outdoor space.

SECTIONAL STRATEGY PHASE

This shifting volume scheme aimed to continue a balanced relationship with an exterior space the entire way through the project. Patio spaces became key circulation elements that united the exterior and interior through their shared identity as part of the domestic realm.

THESKIN,THECUT, THEBANDAGE

This project is a theoretical proposal for a housing competition in Sevilla, Spain. The intent was to create a community that came together around cooking and dining. The skin that wraps the three primary volumes acts as the transition between the domestic and the public where members of the community can gather.
