jacksonville photography musuem The proposal seeks to revitalize jacksonville. From a visit, I noticed the city to be lifeless while people are at work. The design is meant to bring people through the site and the building through directionality in the ground condition.
southeast institute Analyzing major site conditions, including waterfront and possible hurricane tread. The objective is to create a rational structure, respectful toward the site and the exiting site conditions. Materiality selection is based on a hybrid between steel, as celebration of the industrial revolution, and wood, as the ever existing building.
new orleans community center Oriented towards the radial movement, this pavilion serves as point to draw people into a point of convergence. The shape is meant to guide people into the space..

broughton market The design of the store front is based on the initial context in the historic district in Savannah. Major observation is placed on the surrounding and how the building sits in the site. The program emerges from the need in the historic district of a market place for SCAD students and tourists around the area.
fragmented convergence My inspiration came from a bow tie. My interpretation was to create a dynamic building focusing on hierarchy of spaces. The focal point consisted of two pyramids meeting in a center point and two corridors embracing this experience.. The structure of the skin consists of facets serving as a building envelop.

parametric design By setting parameters through the use of Rhino, Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Revit, the design is meant to create rhythm and movement.
