ABOUT ME

Young and experienced architect involved in a global society is how I would describe myself. I firmly believe in our responsibility to one another and in the ability of architecture to influence social change. When designing, I make sure to consider the views of the users and the dwellers as well as the cultural heritage element. For me, it is all about “creating city” over creating fame.

EDUCATION & PRESERVATION CENTER

The project assigned is to design a Community Education Center for the Research and Preservation of Urban Ecosystems, with classrooms, research spaces, community meeting rooms, and office space along with didactic areas of landscaping. This studio seeks to explore how buildings can have a positive impact on – and potentially takean active role in – the diversity of the urban Environment. It acts as a place of learning, understanding, and as a place of belonging for a variety of interrelated species. The building is designed for future generations and meant to last over a thousand years through ongoing maintenance and designing for disassembly/ replacement. This project revolves around the concept of Yin and Yang, about how two seemingly opposite (or separate) “things” could together form a complete (or whole) idea. This can be seen through the oppositely sectioned public and private areas of the building. The public section is designed using rammed earth so that over time the building will break down through forces of nature.

“Building Biodiversity”

BOTANICAL READING CENTER

“Building Climates”

The programmatic topic is that of a library, or an open-air reading center, rooted in the tradition of medieval cloisters. The stated goal of the studio is to explore how the design can minimize the amount of (conventionally defined) indoor spaces and maximize the use of transitional spaces, blurring the distinction between indoor and outdoor. The project will be located in the context of the Berkeley Botanical Garden. In this beautiful natural setting we will develop designs that collaborate with the existing microclimates and topography. Taking into account the unfolding climate and biodiversity crisis, we will investigate the limits of how minimal building interventions can create functional and enjoyable spaces.

The intended primary users are dyslexic people and according to research the way to solve this is by enhancing their multi-sensory experience. That is why in my design I have created an interconnected network of paths that serves as a movement generator to stimulate the senses even more and varying degrees of privacy at the same time.

While the courtyards have layered views, the rooftop gives unobstructed view of the whole botanical garden. The open view serves as prospect, a pattern in biophilic design to give restorative effect for the visitors.

COMMUNITY CENTER

“Intersecting Circles”

The Community Commons will be a public building that serves the local neighborhoods, as well as the Cost and Bay areas. Acting as a social condenser, the CCCC will house a varied set of public programs that bring together and empower the diverse communities that it serves. For this project, I decided to explore the concept of intersected circles that are symmetrically placed. Within each circle, I decided to place a central circular courtyard that is exterior and open to sky and the placement of the courtyard results in a kind of looping circular circulation and every time we go to different rooms, we will be able to enjoy the outdoor courtyards which made one of them as a reading room. With the intersected rooms, it allows to create a shared space that is accessible from 2 different circles like the toilet area that is located on both floors and is connected to the library and assembly hall.

THE URBAN INSTITUTE

The building is a conjunction of different programs with a common set of interests: improving architecture and urban design in the Bay Area. Through interwoven tracks of research, education, and advocacy, the premise of THE URBAN INSTITUTE is that a better quality of urban life can besupported through design.

My primary interest was designing a building that has a permeable facade but has varying degrees of privacy at the same time. This creates a visual and spatial interaction between people from both the interior and exterior. The public programs are meant to be inviting and porous while the private spaces are meant to be concealed and more intimate. The implementation of different frit pattern densities allows the different spaces to have different privacies. The stairs were designed to wrap around the ever changing facade to enhance the experiential process and the diagrid structure creates more flexible and open spaces.

05 THE DUPLEX “Maze”

The current people that own the businesses across the street, Funky Door Yoga and the Artist and Craftsman. Both have decided to pool their resources together, buy the site and build a duplex where they can live and have an shared yoga studioand an art gallery. The needs of the different nature of space from each user require zoning strategies and planning in complex spaces and circulation flows that can connect but do not interfere with each other. The concept of maze finally emerged as a strategy in determining the path. The grid system made on the plan becomes the axis for determining space and the connection of each character of the space. Maze here is like playing a game, there is a start-play-finish. the concept here is a contradiction of the existing maze that the maze is a trap/endless, but presents an answer to what they are looking for.
