WHO I AM
Design Portfolio 2014
I am a passionate designer with experience in architectural design, graphics, modeling, and, rendering. I maintain a healthy balance between creativity and efficiency in all my work. I am currently seeking my Masters of Architecture degree at Washington State University with the emphasis of integrating architecture, technology and the environment into my design. I believe there is always room for growth and I look forward to continuing my education in the design profession. On a side note, I love the outdoors and you can usually find me in the mountains snowboarding during winter or mountain biking during summer, I also am a big Seattle sports team supporter.

Resilient Mangrove Settlement Utilizing A Generative|Creative Process to Rehabilitate Destroyed Coastal Cities Washington State University, Graduate Thesis, Fall Semester 2014 Graduate Committee: Paul Hirzel, Darrin Greichen, and John Abelll Project Type: Master Plan, Urban Planning, Low Income Housing, and Coastal Restoration Software: Rhino, Grasshopper, Photoshop, and Illustrator
November 8th, 2013, the Philippines was hit by one of the largest storms ever recorded. Storm surges, torrential rain, and coastal flooding devastated cities and provinces throughout the Philippines. This Project responds to the impact of natural disasters on coastlines and its community by establishing a generative coastal protection prototype which will stabilize coastlines, revive natural ecosystems, and preserve coastal communities.

| GENERATIVE DESIGN These complex systems of soft infrastructure systems, ecological restoration and urban development are so complicated that creating an algorithm based/computational based design process both help account for all the different informations and is very useful for generating many different solution very quickly that could be tested for validity.

Also a place where I can dump the garbage” “They will keep the grounds clean, do the landscaping, do the security, and have extra income” “A place to call home.

Bicon: Bicycle Icon Tower The design focuses on preserving the existing structure while adding a new bike path and a new icon for Bike Works Washington State University, 401 Studio, Fall Semester 2012 Instructor: Rob Hutchinson and Tom Maul Architects Collaboration Master Plan with: Ryan Rideout Client: Bikeworks Project Type: Adaptive Reuse | Master plan Software: Revit, Autocad, Photoshop, and Illustrator
The up-cycle of bicycle parts-connection to the Burke Gilman trail and green lake through the use of a bicycle path became one of the focal point for development by linking north Seattle community with the use of sustainable transportation system. Also to utilize the transfer station south of our site and incorporate the use of up-cycled materials with in our site. The design focuses on the existing structure such as the wood trusses and joists. The tower will encompass the up-cycle rental program, which allows locals and tourist to rent recycled bike. They have the opportunity to purchase these bikes at a considerable low price.
Step #1 Bicycles damaged or old and unwanted.
Step #2 Bicycles sent to landfill or transfer stations.
Step #3 Bicycles are recycled and sent to Bikeworks.
Step #4 Bikeworks refurbishes and restores unwanted bikes.
Step #5 Bicycles are rented and sold to the community.
Step #6 If renters love the bike they have the option to purchase the bike.

Kinetic Shed: Adaptable Building Skin Changing the traditional static buildings into a dynamically responsive structure to provide optimal performances Washington State University, 403 Studio, Spring Semester 2012 Instructor: Professor Darrin Griechen Project Type: Industrial New Construction Software: Rhino, Grasshopper, Photoshop, and Illustrator
NARA Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance | Western Montana Corridor WMC encompasses the western half of Montana and parts of northeastern Washington and northern Idaho. The purpose is to build a supply chain for aviation biofuels with the goal of increasing efficiency in everything from forestry operations to conversion process. Using a variety of feed-stocks, including forest and mill residues, construction waster, as well as new energy crops, the project aims to create a sustainable industry to produce aviation biofuels and important co-products.

| LIGHT AND AIR Several design decisions were made to design an intelligent building that is capable of monitoring weather, daylight, and occupant use. The system will manage heating, cooling and lighting in dynamic ways that protect the environment and promote energy efficiency. The use of light weight fabric allows light to penetrate in and out of the building to allow an interactive building facade.

Colfax Library:
Rooted Community
Envisioning this out dated library in Colfax, Washington to reflect the landscape and people of the fertile Palouse region. AIA Kawneer Compitition, Fall Semester 2012 Team Members: Ryan Rideout and Arnold Altuna Software: Revit Architecture, Photoshop, and Illustrator We envisioned this dated library in Colfax, Washington to reflect the landscape and people of the fertile Palouse region. The library in Colfax is located in a low income community that is a small farm town in Eastern Washington’s Whitman County. The area relies heavily on the rolling wheat fields directly surrounding the city which has made Whitman County the number one producer of wheat in the United States. This design encapsulates how the life cycle of wheat farming not only dictates everyday life but also visually stimulates how knowledge and community can transpire through the structure.
