PROJECT: The location for the project is unique in terms of climate and

culture. It has a developed concentration of a diverse, multilingual popula-

tion consisting mainly of French and English speakers. The site, situated

downtown, is a 50m by 80m plot with a heavy influx of pedestrians along

the cross-roads Rue Bleury and Rene-Levesque.

The brief asked to provide library stacks, center for new media, reading/

study spaces, children’s center, teen center, multiple cinemas and gal-

leries, cafe, retail space, administrative offices, and parking and service

spaces. Allocation for the existing public transit by foot or bike was en-

couraged to integrate with the required twenty-five percent of open public

space.

INDIVIDUAL DUTIES: As a teammate, I worked diligently with my part-

ner to produce work with equal contribution. I applied myself in every

design element represented for this project.

DESIGN: The design focus for the mediatheque became an initiative to promote international con-nectivity and emphasize the importance of educat-ing and entertaining oneself. Massing the build-ing into three “zones” allows for a tall sanctuary to store all books and media (zone one), while being divided by a circulation mediator (zone two), from the cinemas and theatrical aspect (zone three) of the building. The use of linear circulation within each “zone” allows for a familiar and repetitive way to navigate the mediatheque. Each program re-sults in easy accessibility through the central spine of circulation.

P R O J E C T B R I E FIowa State Solar Decathlon

‘a’rchitecture has posed a serious problem in the US for the last few de-cades. The energy used, not only to produce typical building materials for a standard suburban dwelling but also the transportation involved with any suburban community threatens a living sustainable environment. We were to design an active/passive solar home according to a proposal submitted for entry in the Solar De-cathlon biennial competition. The main concept for the competition is to INTERLOCK with an existing home by fitting a house design of 800 s.f. on the left-over open plot area. This will become an extension off the existing house, allowing more room for nuclear/extended family to share the plot, ultimately densifying the subur-ban neighborhood. The extension will also produce enough energy to live off the grid with an aim to eventually con-nect back to the grid in order to sell harvested energy back to the city.

D E S I G N

The pre-fabricated unit consists of three modules: living space, dining/kitchen, sleeping space. This design harmonizes the use of passive and active systems while filtering rain water to distribute throughout the house. Using the 1920’s farm house as a jumping off point for the massing

development, a courtyard was formed between the southern modules to allow privacy but also give room for produce to grow on edible facade. A bermed facade becomes thermal mass to insulate and finish the veg-etative look that grows off the house.

PROJECT: I was to design an active/passive solar home ac-cording to a proposal submitted by my studio for the entry in the Solar Decathlon biennial competition. The main concept for the competition was to INTERLOCK with an existing suburban home by fitting a house design of 800 s.f. on the vacant area in the back/front yard. Our team planned to create an extension off the existing house, allowing more room for nuclear/extended family to share the plot of land, ultimately densifying the suburban neighborhood. The extension was planned to produce enough energy to live off the grid with an aim to eventually connect back in order to sell harvested energy directly to the community.

My concept for the proposal was a pre-fabricated unit consisted of three modules: living space, dining/kitchen space and sleep-ing space. This design harmonized the use of passive and ac-tive systems while filtering rain water to be distributed throughout the house. For a precedent, I used the 1920’s farm house as a jumping off point for the program development. A courtyard was formed between the southern modules to allow privacy, which created a duality where it gave space for vegetables to grow on an edible facade. For the north, a bermed facade became thermal mass to insulate and finish the vegetative look of a green fabric woven with lush vine plants.

[Independent studio project]


PROJECT: Paul Bierman-Lytle coined the term “waste equals food” to express the concept that waste from one system should provide food for another. Through the scale of obsolete con-sumer products, I analyzed the disposal of materials and the cycle of material reuse to examine Bierman-Lytle’s theory.The destruction of an object needs to avoid harm on the envi-ronment through decomposing, recycling or reusing. I chose the method of reuse to develop a permanent installation (built mostly from reused material) for the college of design cafe to encourage other forms of reuse. The plan was to transcend the temporary solution set for the paper coffee cup (being manufactured out of non-recyclable material) that ultimately impedes the search for a sustainable approach to drinking coffee.

There is no industrial design product that exists in the market to perform the needed task. Therefore, a creation of a product without a draw from a predecessor requires a unique approach. I began with assemblages of two-dimensional and three-dimen-sional collages in order to construct conceptual ideas to innovate the way the design took shape.

Several mechanical and chemical stages occur to refine bauxite to recover alumina. Multiple passages through filters and heating alumina hydrate in 2,000° F kilns yield a white powder(pure alumina) which is electrochemically reduced to metallic aluminum. 1% of all the energy used in US is used to make aluminum. 6.2 kWH of electricity is required to produce

1 lb of aluminum from alumina. It takes 2 tons of alumina to make 1 ton of aluminum.

Ethylene dichloride(EDC) is heated to form vinyl chloride monomer(VCM). Pressure is applied to VCM, dispersed in water as a suspension, in high pressure chambers at temperatures of 50-70°C. The role of water is to remove and control the heat given off in the polymerisation process. PVC forms as tiny particles which grow and when they reach a desired size the reaction is stopped and any unreacted vinyl chloride is distilled off and re-used. The PVC is separated off and dried to form a white powder.

PROJECT: I was to propose a plan of urban development by using suburban sprawl, monoculture and row-crop development as a point of departure. I was designated a rural site for the master plan, located on the west bank of the Des Moines River outside of Boone, IA.

The master plan densely splayed prefabricated modern style homes made out of switchgrass panels. The landscape encompass-ing each dwelling consisted of tall switchgrass plants laced with a permaculture of edible plants and vegetables. They are specifically grown for harvest on every plot of land while also creating a barrier between individual dwellings. Each switchgrass dwelling consisted of a facade that changed with the season by storing and distributing bales of switchgrass. This was a representation of a local “corn crib” where the volume of harvested crop creates multiple textures and undulating spacial relations.

PROJECT: Design a mixed-use structure in Soho comprised of housing and commercial blocks. Phase one looked abstractly at the volume of the as-signed site by working with a 12-inch cube, mapped to fit site constraints, for interpretation of the existing spacial elements in order to create a massing com-position of the proposed structure.

Phase two looked at an18’x9’ studio interior. I de-signed the interior relating to the idiosyncrasies of the main character in the novel “The Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison. This client-based study investigated the relationship between the needs of the client and the intent of the designer.

The final phase was the thirty-unit residential struc-ture integrated with a conference center, an indoor theater and an outdoor performance stage. My pro-posal exhibited a dichotomy between the outdoor theater and conference center by sharing the two spaces. With the building parti, a wide visual con-nection linked the flux of pedestrians to the local food markets in Soho.

PROJECT: Create a systematic means of alterna-tive transportation using the Chicago River.

The water taxi hub is attached to a parking garage fronted to the river. The screening works at multiple levels: A screen facade to filter all visual annoyances of the car park along the river front; A living wall where foliage grows on the screen to shrink the scale of the city as passengers walk inside the transit hub; An outlet to provide more vegetation in a cityscape.

The hub is modular in design for the prefabrication of multiple hubs to erect and ensure an efficient taxi service the full length of the river.

PROJECT: The Stephanie Waterman Tennis and Whole Child Program provides a service for disad-vantage inner city youth to play tennis for a brighter future. The proposal of a new structure for their pro-gram rests on the site metaphorically as a butterfly. The wings give shape for the function of a tennis court, while the programmed functions (weight room, offices, storage, changing rooms and concessions) align down the middle to create the spine of the structure.

PROJECT: We formulated a design for India Tower to meet the economic, social and environmental responsibilities set forth in the project. The design strived to increase localized density and community connectivity to conform to desired density goals. Pur-suing a LEED Platinum rating, we chose to respect the site by restoring the natural habitat and creating exuberant open space by having a three level au-tomatic underground car park and an underground entrance leading up into the multiple sky lobbies.

DESIGN: We were to provide hotel rooms, long lease apartments, luxury apartments, four restaurants, kitchens, pools and spas, confer-ence/business centers, ballroom, parking and service spaces. The lift scheme required much attention to control the circulation paths to each of these programs.

The central atrium displaced the building core into the three legs of the structure, reinforcing the rigidity of its slender form and grand height. INDIVIDUAL DUTIES: My involvement con-sisted of arranging programmatic divisions for every level and designing layouts for each type of living. I planned the car park configuration, organizing the automatic car lift system and in-tegrating the large spaces reserved for energy systems.

CLIMATE: Mumbai, India presented a challenge with its regional climate con-sisting of constant hot and humid tem-peratures throughout both day and night. Our strategy was to integrate a respon-sive passive and active system that will efficiently and environmentally control the building to optimize performance. Si-multaneously, we had to minimize the increased load on existing district infra-structure.
