SWARM
MAIN AXONOMETRIC VIEW
While Jacksonville, FL is the largest city in the
continental United
States, downtown Jacksonville is stagnant and feckless. There are too many abandoned buildings without enough people to make Jacksonville the great city it can potentially be. Without adding to the built footprint of Jacksonville, SWARM creates new spaces and life to the city. Each modules represents a program that can be altered per use group. The lightweight hexagonal shaped module provides enough space for users to add to existing buildings or create new buildings without occupying too much space.

AXONOMETRIC VIEW OF SITE
Obesity is an issue that has been going on in many countries around the world. most people think of it as a bad lifestyle choice but not many understand that it is an actual mental and physical issues. anyone that would want to be healthier and lose their weight would go to either a health retreat or get surgery if their condition is severe. this project is to create a comfortable space for people to recover or learn to change their lifestyle. if anyone is trying to go to surgery, it is usually suggested that they go to one of the retreats tso that they are able to get to a healthy enough state so that they will be fine for the surgery.
At Lago Del Mis, patients are exposed to the beautiful green mountains of italy. They are exposed to nature and a different culture that what they are used to. Patients will come from all over the world to stay and be part of this retreat and health facility. Patients are taught how to live a healthier life through the multiple classes provided at the retreat. cooking classes, gym sessions and outdoor activites. All the produce provided at the retreat is from the retreat itself. Part of the lesson that the patients are learning from the retreat is how to plant their own food. Understanding a healthier option for their lifestyle is very important at Lago Del Mis Retreat. it is important that the patients feel comfortable at the retreat. With the issue that they are struggling with, it is vital that they feel comfortable in their environment.

Perspect Aviary
PHYSICAL MODEL A
understandning human influence in an architecture is something that all architects needs to learn. This project proposes human interaction with it’s surrounding. Visitors of this aviary not only get to experience the architecture itself, but the surrounding landscape. The architecture emerges from the landscape almost like bird ascending from it’s nest. side from understnding the rchitecture’s reltionship to it’s surrounding, this project lso relte it’s spces to humn proportion. it is importnt to understnd humn proportions to the rchitecture they re occupying. .

revolving artist Museum To revive a dying part of Savannah, a landmark museum would be a good solution to the problem. The design of this gallery is almost a literal representation of it’s purpose. This museum compose of revolving galleries instead of permanent exhabitions. Artists are constantly rotating in displaying their work at this museum. Each visit will be different and therefore the design on this museum resembles such action. The museum imitates the rotation of the artists. It appears as if cubes were tumbling down the site.

Memento Mori Chronotorium
POLYSEMIC A
a chronotorium is a space where time is captured or recorded. We use time as a measure for nearly everyything in our lives from work to age, to global events. We are introduced to time in a linear manner. When calculating moments in our lives, we often turn to the linear timeline as a way of understanding time. You were born and you will die. That is how it is.
What if we could preplan or preprogram what happens to us after we die? Or how we die? If we are able to do so, it would give us a better understanding of time and how it works. In my design, I have explored different ways of how a building can “die.” Through explorations of materiality, understanding the site context and time and space, I managed to preprogram the deterioration of the building parallel to it’s rebirth.

Rädsla
NORTH SECTION
One’s home can be the safest and calming place to be in. Then the question can be what if the place is neither. Would the place still be called home? The design of Rädsla is based upon the basic human fear. It is meant to make others feel unwelcomed and uncomfortable in the space. Only the person that lives there will know the secret corners and private spaces of the “home”. It is designed to appear haunted and unpleasent.

Embodied Evolution: Beyond Origami Embodied Evolution is a student design competition that investigates the fusion between fashion and human form. The contemporary design environment has been influenced simultaneously by the biology of human form and the synthetics of technological innovation. This competition calls for innovative ways for the body and clothing to interface as a single entity. Students will fabricate wearable armor, gear, or prosthetic prototypes that reconsider the body as part of, not separate from, the design environment in which we exist.
