project 001FALL 07
boathousedesign a university crew team training facility and boathouse in long beach, ca. the facility houses the sculls and all the
associated rigging and equipment for the activities of the oarsmen, but the boathouse is also a place for the crew team,
coaches, and riggers to carry out their daily rituals of training, practicing, and perfecting the art of rowing. apply the principles
of the relationship between human body and space, movement through spaces, and the functionality of the boathouse.
the process started by locating the boathouse on the corner of the intersection of the two canals as it is prime viewing
space for the crew boat races. the programmatic parti was to have the private spaces, for the crew members, coaches,
and riggers, in a linear path straight from land to water in the order in which they were needed. they would move from
the lockers to the offices to the training room to the boat bays where they would take the boats into the water. the
public space, on the other hand, was to have many access points as the public has many ways of entering the site.
along with the tradition of two story boathouses the public space is above the crew program giving the
public good views to watch the races. these ideas culminated with the design parti that stemmed from a
manipulation of the site landscape into the boathouse. this system was created from the corner of the site, that
i cut into strips while keeping the strips joined to each other at the corner, and twisted and torqued them apart.
the system became the roof of the private spaces and the floor for the public which includes
a large seating area for the view deck that also lets light into the spaces underneath.
Certain strips also became the circulation paths and the roof to the enclosed public area.
project 002SPRING 08
film institutedesign the los angeles film institute, whose mission is to serve three primary purposes: an archive of film and
film related objects, a screening facility for rare films to intimate groups typically proceeded by a lecture, and
an exhibition venue for the collection. it will be a typical infill project, with the choice of three different sites in
downtown la, each sandwiched between two other buildings. the main program will include archives, three
study rooms, a large and small screening room, administrative offices, exhibition space, cafe and garden.
above are a series of process models as my design developed from a building of shifting planes to
a design based off of the presence of the historic la mural located on one of the existing boundary
walls of the site. the glass in these models show the evolution of a gallery that runs along the mural
with two different halves of the building attached to the gallery creating a courtyard in between.
these photographs of the final model show the open gallery, where horizontal circulation occurs, and the vertical
circulation attached directly to the gallery, similarly to how the two halves attach. the mesh facade detached
from the buildings exterior walls is also carried from the front to the interior courtyard and to the back facade.

the back building houses the theaters, a major part of the film industry, and the other holds
the exhibit, archives, and administrative offices, which are a separate part of the industry.
also visible in the sections is how the gallery runs horizontally and vertically through the
project. the elevations demonstrate how the project fits in to the neighboring buildings.

the plans show how the gallery connects the two halves and show how there are different elements that link
the two building halves together. the diagonal patios on the front tower mirror the shape of the theater
and the curve of the study rooms that project out of the front mesh facade hints to the curves of the cafe and
theater. these rendered perspectives explore how the mural is incorporated into the design as the standout color.
project 003FALL 08
low rise developmentas an introduction to high-density, low-rise development, design four dwelling units in a row-house
typology or other cluster arrangement on a typical south pasadena lot. chose a user group with respect to
age, family status, or other characteristics and chose at least two different unit sizes from studio to three
bedroom. requirements include private and common open space as well as one parking space per unit.
above are study models and the final drawings of my town house development. the drawings show how the parti was
to condense four normal lots onto the one lot longitudinally, then shift the units in length depending on neccessary
square footage, and steal space from the unit next door to make larger rooms where needed. the sections show
how vertical shift happens where two units are split level while the others are regular two and three story units.
the end units are loft style one bedrooms and in the middle is a two bedroom and three bedroom units. they
are designed to fit the many life stages of people living in the south pasadena area from singles to families.
project 004FALL 08
mid rise complexthis final project will emphasize the current urban strategies of the los angeles planning department vis--vis
its zoning prioritization of multi-family residential development within a quarter mile of a subway or
light-rail station. use the zoning and code rules to design a mid-rise and medium density housing
development with a mix of housing/unit types and additional support spaces. choose one out of
three sites that fit this criterion, one permitted use, two typologies, and two general support spaces.
my housing development site was mid-wilshire boulevard. based on the areas demographics i chose to design
live-work lofts. the design started with the units on every other layer of a slab building shifting as the city streets
shift along the edge of the angled site. the process models show how it developed from one slab to multiple
slab buildings to slab in the front and cluster of units in the back. this building organization follows the scale
differentiation between the massive buildings along wilshire and the smaller scale residential buildings behind
the site. the smaller cluster of units in the back are organized to look like they dispersed from the front slab.

in the two story unit, one floor is rotated and the walls on both floors are sliced to create one identifiable shape. the
one story unit has the front edge of the sliced parallel to the other angle. these different unit are then shifted front
and back in the structural column grid to make up the slab. the glass front reflects the flat facades on wilshire yet the
shifting creates punctures as do the outdoor meeting rooms scattered throughout the slab as holes from the back to the
front creating a pixilated look. each unit has a private balcony on each floor of the unit, and the linear circulation of the
main hallway of the slab is similar to the linear paths in the back that end in small courts which units cluster around.

there is also a sustainability aspect with natural ventilation and balconies that act as shading devices for the units
below. also the angled roofs are in the ideal direction for solar panels so the building can be more self sustaining.
the section and final building model show the projecting balconies, landscape, angled roofs, and punctures not only in
the facade but in the ground plane. there are shifts in the ground plane where openings to the garage are created for
trees and light and planters are built up from the ground for more vegetation around the ground units. Also the ground
plane is lifted off the sidewalk by three feet by berms to be covered in plants to give green back to the community.
project 005SPRING 09
neighborhood civic centerover the entire semester, design a 20,000 sf neighborhood civic center building, on one of three sites in los angeles
(venice, echo park, or boyle heights). this facility is meant to serve the needs and address the character of the local
neighborhood council district an empowered component of citywide government. this project will be broken into
multiple sub-tasks, yet each will build on the previous assignment to enhance the development of your civic center.
to begin i modelled three different design alternatives for the civic center on the boyle heights site. the first alternative
was based on creating multiple green outdoor areas opening on to the park west of the site. the second, carved
a path from the park to the main street corner and had the coucil chamber as an additive object. the third, and
chosen alternative, gave the most street space back to the community while bring them into the inner courtyard
and all the interstitial spaces. this was based on the fact that boyle heights is a heavily hispanic area and the
most neighborhood activity takes place in the night markets set up on the sidewalks and open spaces in the area.
the design parti was to pull out main programatic elements from the regular structural grid to create a courtyard,
then further breaking down the front facade into individual rooms to open up the main entrance, and finally
wrapping the broken cube with three different skin treatments all furthering the sustainability aspects of the project.

programatically the two main, and largest spaces, are extracted on opposite sides, the social hall on the ground floor on the
park side and the coucil chamber raised to the second floor on the residential street side. one can walk through the social
hall or under the council chamber as secondary entries to the courtyard. the main circulation, vertical as well as horizontal,
was placed in or overlooking the main courtyard to increase its activity during the day. what evolved the most, and is
studied from small to large scale models, are the exterior facades and how they work towards a more sustainable building.
a skin of photovoltaics wraps the roof and western facade of the civic center. certain panels are missing for air flow and
to create viewing windows onto the park. the southern skin is made of horizontal louvers that twist from a level plane
where visibility is needed to an angled plane where visibility is not necessary. the northern facade is mostly glass to let
in indirect light but is also patterend with translucent glass and solid metal panels to define the program within each
separate box. above are the final drawings, renderings, and model of the boyle heights civic center.
project 006FALL 09
city social centerthe project entitled bridge to the future is to become the new social epicenter of saintes, france. historically, saintes
was a central hub of the old roman road system. today the city has grown in area while its population has returned
to its original roman count. this has caused a sprawl that has hindered the development of saintes into a major hub
of the contemporary world. to become a larger part of future france, saintes needs to be recentered. the goal of the
project is to push existing urban space within the city to a higher potential, thereby desifying saintes and returning
saintes to its historic routes along the river.

this new pedestrian gateway will be a destination point in the middle of the city center. denizens, seasonal residents,
and tourists will all come to this central meeting point, partake in both day and night activities, interact together, and
then disperse to other destinations. this project will lead to a rebirth of city life along the river and be a bridge to the
future of saintes.
the building program covers two sites flanking a new pedestrian bridge. the southern block includes a ground floor
indoor market place, a gallery space, a restaurant and a bar/club. the program vertically transitions from day activities
on the ground floor to night activities on the top floors. the northern site has a mixed-use hotel as well as a large green
space to be used for recreation and lounging. the new open space links the cathedral plaza to the hidden square where
ruins from the original roman wall are visible. on the ground floor of the hotel will be a caf facing the new park and a
continuation of retail shops along the river.
PP
the building will link two different architectural time periods of saintes: the renaissance mansions and the small roman
houses. the main urban gesture has the building extend and connect existing street walls to define the new open space
and the streets. the rhythm of large to small is continued through program from one site to the other. the market building
is designed with the aim to bring the act of memory into the experience of the building, each vertical path frames a
different view of the city. a stair atrium creates a void within the building to bring natural light down and visitors up to
view a full panorama of saintes. these paths then dictate the shaping of the floor plates and the exterior.

there will also be new transportation aspects consisting of a bus stop along the new river bus route, a bike parking area
with rentable bikes, and an expansion of the existing underground parking that will remove parking from the cathedral
plaza. the project will also engage the river, adding terraced seating up from the bank to the market. the new bridge will
be wider linking the two sides of the river more effectively, creating not just a circulation space but a gathering space.
the bridge highlights the historic roman east-west axis against the skewed grid of the current city. the layered crisscross
also gives multiple heights and perspectives where one can view the natural landscape of saintes.

the sequence of the views is also important. the first rise gives the user an expansive view of nature in the french garden,
separating him from the dense urban city he just left. inside the gallery he gets a view of the ruins of the roman wall, a
museum in itself. the next vertical change ends facing the original roman gateway, the arc de germanicus. next, back to
nature in its organic untouched state of the flood plains. the final rise links the two main religious landmarks of abbey
aux dame to the west and st. pierre cathedral to the east, which a person can see from almost every point in the city.
the top viewing deck then references all the previous framed views of the city within the full 360 panorama of saintes.
the building as a bridge and gateway to the future of saintes is a link between city and user. the city of saintes is brought
into the building through visions of memory and then the user is able to move outwards with a greater understanding.
open space and transparency clear site lines across the river from st. pierre cathedral to the arc de germanicus while
the solidity of the building determines when and how the user is exposed to the city.
