YEAR:2007A Head Start school represents the impetus for education in the human spectrum of knowledge. Centrally located within a neighborhood diverse in terms of race, age, and cultural background, the aim of the project was to set the stage for the convergence of neighbors from these differing backgrounds. People that may have nothing to do with the building suddenly become a tertiary user group penetrating the interior, interacting informallyinformally as they pass through the building into the park and across the neighborhood

My thesis is a critique of the current architecture of Beijing and its inability to transfer the values, rituals, and social programs of traditional domestic architecture into a rapidly changing contemporary context. Through translating the courtyard house a new model for dense domestic space can be created that maintains the salient qualities of the type and in its communal environment, while responding to the new verticality of Beijing.to the new verticality of Beijing.

5 residential clusters occupy the site, each operate as a porous block with a large central green space. Micro to macro, defining the parameters for the units themselves helped shaped the scale of the building, in turn defined the overall proportions of the blocks and the dimensions of the interstitial space. The clusters help to define long linear strips of public park that are crisscrossed with paths, playgrounds, and hiking trails.

The project consisted of four food and beverage programs dispersed throughout a newly constructed hotel in Beijing. My responsibility was the design of the new Maki Japanese restaurant and its relation to the adjacent lobby space. The concept for the space was based around the idea of a wooden box that expands and contracts to create varying levels of privacy and intimacy. DinersDiners are presented with the warmth of raw wood in a setting that has the feel of an urban Japanese sushi bar.

A simple proposal for pavilions set within a cultural park, whose design harks back to the culture of train travel of a by gone era. Large expanses of glass block set in a subtle curving concrete form, allow light to pour down all the way to the basement level. While subtle hints of the rich history of the site are exposed on the street level, materials that relate to the culture of train travel are expressed in the pavilion and revealed as their occur throughout the site. revealed as their occur throughout the site.

A heightened sense of luxury is created by focusing on using high end materials on well placed tactile surfaces. the chairs and select walls were covered in leather AND fine grain wood, while mirrors were used to make other surfaces recede and multiply the scale of the space.and multiply the scale of the space.

This allows the site to remain open as a park for the general public, while the event space can operate efficiently and out of site. Sunken plazas are used as breakout space for the wedding parties, letting natural light into the wedding halls.

Studying abroad gives anyone an opportunity to dive into a different culture and experience a totally new learning environment. For the architect, it’s a chance to see the buildings that you have studied in great detail in great depth from afar. Sketching is a way of truly studying a building and expressing your perspective on a given space. Most of my sketches express a diagramtic approach or spatial exploration.diagramtic approach or spatial exploration.
