TREASURE ISLAND
Maker Tower AIMS: This tower studio questions the typical tower typology and explores how a tower can be a method of harvesting.
Creation Station Location: San Francisco, Treasure Island Instructor: Thom Faulders Fall 2014: Advanced Studio; Airborne
INVESTIGATED: The maker culture and efficient methods of moving materials such as conveyer belts, pneumatic tubes, and ramps.
Diagrams and Study Model Different layers in the tower allow for a collaborative environment within the space.
Final Model Using a representative method of modeling, the different layers of the model are shown.
There is potential for different types of stations to exchange a variety of materials. At the same time, makers can peer into other floors to view what others are working on.

The path of the immigrants overlaps with the path of the exhibition to show how the past shapes the present. Their hardships created the freedom we have today, so there is a dialogue between the two.

If you look closely, you can see a steam boat, which we suspect was carrying supplies that would later be transported to the region via railroad. Ah Louis Store Photo: Ah Louis’s store is related to this site not only because Louis was the labor contractor who found people to construct the railroad out to the pier, but also because after the tracks were completed his shipments of goods would come in from the pier. Chinese labor was used in order to build the railroad that connected the pier. Therfore the Chinese immigrants benefited from their construction of the railroad as well, because they received supplies that Ah Louis imported to sell in his store.

CCA Student Housing AIMS: This multi-unit housing studio mediates between the individual and the dense urban context. The studio course required us to use knowledge of the urban fabric to create a plus-program and to transform an existing housing typology.
Shifting the Boundary Location: San Francisco, Mission District Instructors: Antje Steinmuller and E.B. Min Spring 2013: Studio 4; Housing Studio
INVESTIGATED: Linked courtyards construct public gathering spaces for the inhabitants and the neighborhood.
Site Mapping In the Mission District, open spaces are underutilized because physical boundaries such as fences and walls create a psychological effect of an unwelcoming space. Public open spaces exist, but they are far from the site.
Circulation Diagram The circulation shapes the characteristics of these courtyards because they are placed inside of the most social and lively courtyards.
lively quiet Morphology
Open Space Diagram
Different methods of subtraction are used to shift the public boundary into the building.
Four distinct courtyards alternate between being a lively and quiet. Layers of public and private spaces within the units correspond with the activity in the courtyards.

Shifting is used to create open space on the upper and lower portion of the building.
2. Final Model Whenever a space is carved out of the overall form, it uses a different material: wood.

Film Maker and Art Historian Residence AIMS: The massing studio creates a massing that follows one formal logic. Public and private spaces are explored.
Living Together but Working Separately Location: San Francisco, Hayes Vally, Octavia Blvd. Instructors: Matt Hutchinson and Amy Campos Fall 2011: Studio 1; Massing Studio
INVESTIGATED: To create interlocking spaces for two people with different working conditions but a communal living space, wrapping and shifting are used to dictate program and create interlocking spaces.
Models and Drawings Circulation wraps around the programs to enhance them and create continuous spaces. Shifting shapes the privacy within the spaces.
Art Exhibition and Library Center AIMS: The massing studio creates a massing that follows one formal logic. Lighting qualities are explored.
Interlocking Light Location: Californa College of the Arts, CCA Nave Instructors: Matt Hutchinson and Amy Campos Fall 2011: Studio 1; Massing Studio
INVESTIGATED: Using the word ‘interlock’, two separate types of conditions are created: one with minimal lighting and one with abundant lighting.
Models and Drawings The ladder structure is designed as a central point for the brighter space and the darker space to interlock around. It is used as a circulation system, a bookshelf, and a filter for sunlight.
