Water Screen
The movement of water inspired the design of the screen system. The water screen’s structure holds 8”x8” metallic panels that rotate with the wind to mimic the liquid’s undulating movement. Consequently, The porous screen reveals and converges different layers of the tower’s structure, and it creates a new dialogue between the interior space, the urban context, and light exposure.

THE CHAPEL
A Space for Devotion SITE
Newnans Lake, Gainesville, Florida TERM Fall 2020 TYPE Personal Work
Architectural poetics emerging from a resilient landscape in order to create remarkable spiritual experience.
Can a pavilion contribute with Gainesville’s community faith? The proposal is to repurpose Newnans Lake by creating a place for worship on top of the body of water. The purpose of the chapel is to serve locals and visitors
to reconnect with the individual through devotion for the spirit and its own nature. The pavilion also looks to respond to the Newnans -

Part of the design includes a horizontal axis as the datum for circulation, both in the plan and section. The linear organi highlights the past of Osceola Park and Hannibal Square. Winter Park once was divided by the train rail until 1967, when i as a join for both sides of the city. For that reason, the glass bridge retakes the social meaning of the train rail by kee connection between the library’s interior spaces.
