Hilltop Middle School UCLA | A.UD Winter 2012 Instructor: Ben Refuerzo Selected to Best of Currents, 2012
Recent research has shown a primary issue facing educators of the middle school grades is student engagement. This project attempts to address the issue through a radial configuration of transparent program elements, revealing all that is happening within the school at a given moment, as well as through a physically engaging topographic environment which will make the experience of attending the school exciting and memorable. A shell structure is conceived as a continuation of the central landscaped hill, folding over itself and forming a large pavilion with an open plaza at the center. Underneath the shell, the program is compartmentalized into bulbous pods, allowing rain-sheltered circulation to happen around them. Each of these pods extends itself programmatically into the plaza, claiming a piece of the landscape as its own and reshaping it as necessary. Above each pod is a perforation of the shell’s concrete panel structure, providing optimal daylighting to the occupied spaces. The west slope of the central plaza is made into open-riser bleachers which provide light to the staff parking lot below and a view of the playing field. While the field is shared by the school and the peripheral housing project, the sectional changes from its sunken elevation and that of the 2nd level plaza provide a visual and acoustic buffer between the two.

Aerodynamic Beam FAIRINGS Technology Seminar UCLA | A.UD Fall 2012 Instructors: Greg Lynn, Eric Leishman Team: Adam Rude, Honkai Li, Hong Chen
This proposed lightweight, super-strong composite bridge is intended for a remote site with high winds in a canyon. It is constructed so that the entire assembly performs like a giant aerodynamic beam, with large carbon fiberreinforced concrete member acting as a top chord, the high-density polymer road deck acting in tenion as a bottom chord, and the fiber-glass composite double shell acting as the beam's web. Using a combination of Finite Element Analysis to determine vertical stresses and Computational Fluid Dynamics to determine aerodynamic properties, an efficient shape was derived which tracks areas of high stresses through it and connects the top and bottom chords. Areas of low stress are left as glazed apertures for light into the occupied pedestrian shell, and the surface is treated with a shark-skin dimpling to reduce pressure drag.

Constructing Envelopes UCLA | A.UD Spring 2011 Tech Core Studio Team: Rachel Lee, Celene Lehrer, Adam Rude Instructor: Heather Roberge Informed by a series of material investigations in drape-forming thermoplastic sheet material, our envelope proposal translates modernist spatial ideas and its geometric structure through a thick envelope of indeterminate depth. This envelope conceives of space as expansive yet contained - an architectural commentary on the potential lightness of mass. Volume is both spatially and visually present without the material weight that volume typically anticipates. The new envelope respects the building’s modernist roots at the existing floor slab lines and column grid and uses curved lines to move between levels along the standard horizontal datums. Individual drape formed plastic panels are formed using this geometry to produce a series of convex, layered panels that expand towards the boulevard. The result pushes the entire envelope outward, expanding the workspaces and lobby of the building. In line with this investigation, custom-made steel mullions support the panels while minimizing sightlines. Horizontal and vertical members are sandwiched between the inner and outer plastic panels. Each has been reduced to their minimum structural necessity, cutting away excess material in a mirror of the panel’s silhouette. The internal view between neighboring contoured panels draws the viewer’s eyes into the envelope, producing an unexpected visual space. The envelope uses two primary thermal strategies. Each thermal system has a technical and aesthetic purpose, while contributing negligible mass. A locally concentrated, semi-translucent, metallic graphic overlay is applied to both the inner and outer panels as a gradient. The graphic intelligently performs through strategic changes in gradient opacity. The amplitude between the two panels varies, based on the inner panels drape. The functional changes in opacity and distance between inner and outer panels obfuscates views between the two panels, blurring the depth between panels and interactions between the two graphic layers. The second thermal strategy employs a mechanized system of insulated air. The inner and outer envelope layers seal at the edges of the building to create a sealed air cavity that becomes an insulation layer. With the use of an actuator, the system can take advantage of stack effect. By opening the sealed package, hot air rises out through the top of the building and is replaced with cooler, conditioned air from below. The interplay between opaque and transparent conditions of both systems creates a functional insulating method that contributes to the overall ideas of material lightness and volumetric expansion.

Summer Internship June - September 2012 Los Angles, CA The work shown here was done as a Professional Intern at Gensler Los Angeles during the summer of 2012. By my request, I worked almost exclusively on a single project, which ended up being the COEX Mall in Seoul, South Korea. I worked under Design Director Ben Anderson on the renovation of the million square-foot retail and entertainment center,. and while I helped on all areas of the project on the production of Design Development documents, my primary focus was the development of the central plaza spaceframe canopy. I collaborated with ARUP and provided my design input on formal iterations and of the canopy and design details of the perforated louver ceiling. I also generated all the geometry, produced many primary plan and section drawings, and built a detailed section model of the canopy over the summer, with a focus shifting between gradient shading effects and spaceframe waterproofing.

Solar Duplex Steel House Studio UCLA | A.UD Spring 2012 Instructors: Barton Myers
This is a proposed lot-split duplex on a typical corner lot in a West Los Angeles residential neighborhood which utilizes the effective two “front� facades of the corner condition to show that doubling the density on such lots is feesible. Each of the units are two story, and wrap themselves around south-facing courtyards with cooling pools at their base. The very open glass walls which wrap the courtyards tilt inward in order to increase the interior living volume as well as passively shade the courtyards, acting as integrated shading devices. The roof is covered with building-integrated photovoltaics, and there is a radiant cooling system within the concrete slabs which uses the cooling pools as a heat sink.

Housing Park Architecture as Urban Landscape Studio UCLA | A.UD Fall 2011 Instructor: Roger Sherman This housing project in an existing industrial park in West Los Angeles integrates a number of programs into its stacked configuration. The first level of the building is occupied by workshops and galleries, a centralized expansion upon the nearby Culver City Artwalk. With a bridge over Ballona Creek, the building also functions as a means of connection between the adjacent neighborhood to the culturally vibrant La Cienega Blvd. The second level is occupied by parking for the galleries below and housing project above and vehicular access to the units. There are two levels of housing above, ranging from small studio units on the noisier, more urban side of the site, to larger family units on the quieter, more natural part of the site. The building wraps around itself to enclose two public courtyards, one a park adjacent to the creek, and the other an event venue for the more urban residents. The roof of the project is a shared planted park, providing the residents with a rare panoramic perspective of the surrounding area. By tiltng the project in section, the park is connected to the parking level, allowing all levels to be accessed from the ground.

Oblique Monolith Divergent ,Monoliths and the Mute Icon UCLA | A.UD Fall 2012 Instructor: Georgina Huljich The monolithic object is rotated so that its orientation to every contextual plane- ground, facade, sky- is oblique. A series of primitivestruncated octohedrons- populate the interior by adhering to the surfaces of the oblique cube and extending toward the interior, flattening their three-dimensional arrangement into a twodimensional pattern on the surface. Due to the orientation of the cubic mass, a hexagonal geometry language emerges in orthographic projections, providing a double reading. While the overall mass is deferential to the context through its orientation, the fragmented parts of that mass express another geometric language independent of the solid and one that aligns them to the context. The oblique mass serves as a holy space which looms in all directions over its surrounding plaza, but maintains a minimal footprint. The prayer space hovers above the entry, and dominates the interior volume of the mass, forcing the other remaining programs to wrap three dimensionally around it and occupy the resulting crecent-shaped space.

Brigham Residence This private residence for a solar energy activist, is a testament that dramatic form and spatial experience can simataneously be environmentally sustainable, to the point of being net-zero energy and LEED-H Platinum. The house's tapering geometry addresses contextual alignments, varying spatial requirements, and passive solar strategies. A solar canopy of translucent photovoltaic panels soars over the roof deck and covers all electrical loads, while a massive concrete wall bisects the building, passively conditioning and exposing itself to all spaces. Locally sourced ash hardwood, adobe plaster, and recycled content countertops were used throughout the interior, and the house employs an innovative water detention system to reuse rainwater for irrigation.

2007 University of Colorado Solar Decathlon House This entry house to the international Solar Decathlon Competition is the prototype of a hybrid site-built/prefabricated production housing method. A systems core, housing the kitchen, bathroom, and mechanical space, is pre-installed and pre-calibrated in an industrial shipping container which can be shipped to a site via the existing worldwide container infrastructure. Once the container arrives at the site, the remaining living, dining, working, and sleeping spaces are constructed around it using local labor and materials in the most site-specific manner possible. To allow the shipping container core to serve as a buffer between public and private areas while capitalizing on its structural capacity, the entirely SIP-framed envelope is conceived as a continuous angular volume that wraps three-dimensionally around the orthogonal container. The solar array and louvered screen mimic this continuous geometry and form a zig-zagging solar-optimized shell that provides active and passive solar heat, power, and shade.

Occupiable Mechanical System The mechanical system was arranged so that it also serves architectural function in as many ways as possible, allowing the most efficient use of space and materials within the 40’ shipping container. In total, the container houses the mechanical system, kitchen, bath, and entry.

This dining table was an investigation into alternative material processes. To enhance the texture in the oak table top, the wood was first torched. Because of variable density in the grain, some of the wood charred, while the rest resisted the torching. With the use of a wire brush, the charred portions were removed, and a textured grain pattern remained. An opaque polymer resin then infilled the texture, leaving a synthetic grain pattern expressed in black and chartruese.
