LA BALLENA
Floating Cities’ Promenade
DESCRIPTION
La Ballena embaded the body of the Floating city in purpose to create a full-experience rtyhmic spaces which connected every major programs in Floating City. Moreover, the main objective of the promanade itself is to create an interconnection relationship within every passanger inside the ship. The promanade is designed and articulated according to the program embanded within it. Major program are including stores, main plaza, factory entrance, rest area, restaurants, and peer view. The programs were carefully selected to maintain the independent lives of the Floating Citiy which will sail while producing and manufacturing its own supplies and product. Feather
This unique urban spaces promade is influenced by the organic design and life.

THE MARIACHI CENTER Spring 2014 Inst. Orhan Ayyuce east los angeles community college
DESCRIPTION
Mariachi Center is the public center for the Mariachi communities in East Los Angeles area. The project itself was designed to accomadate the mariachi population in the surrounding area of Mariachi Plaza with a beneficial public center. The concept is derived from the characteristic of Mariachis group (Mexican music group) which often time associated with nomadic, yet interconnected as musicians. These characteristics are often time being carried to their dynamic performance whihc never being limited or even bounded by stages. The concept of nomadic, dynamic, and interconnected bring up a design which provides the mariachis a space to be able to freely move around and perform whenever they want, just like they love to do. Atlhough the modern design would bring up a lot of social issues such as: gentrification, etc. It is believed that this project still could serve its main purpose to accomadate a performing public space for the mariachis and the surrounding societies.

OBJECTIVE
To design appropriate and beneficial community center in the Mariachi Plaza area. There will be a special program which is included to enhance the relationship between the Mariachis and the architectural culture.

PROPULSION
DEFORMATION & TRANSFORMATION
POETICALLY
The beings that once roamed this fertile land had long passed, what’s left is the immortal souls that are only gliding along the jagged land. Once pure, the souls corrupted over time, anxious on what is their purpose after life. They ventrue out the infinite loop that they are stuck in, only to be sacrificed forming the outher shell that protects the few pure souls that are left. The fragile shell withstand enourmous pressure form the velocity of the traveling souls insode that cracked the shell exposing the animus ever so slightly to the would that tehy once roamed.
OBJECTIVE
To design an abstractive compound geometric form based on three significant words which have been chosen individually. The final design has to be able to stand for which words it describing and also express the feeling of its designers toward the geometric form. This assigment will require each students to learn advance rhino skills and master the used of G1 and G2 Tangencency in Rhino. G1 and G2 Tangency are often used by designer to ensure and maximize smoothness and fluidity of digital model. These materials are really important to used in organic design components.

DEFORMATION
This project required a deformal systems or compound which are able to freely attach to a given site. Deformation can be done as the whole system or either as individual component. Twisting, bending, and flowing are the three main commands whihc were used to deform the component/system. The deformed system has to be able to attach to the given abstract site. A smooth connection between the site an the deformed system is required. Several gravity wells can be also found randomly spread out all over the site. The main function of these is to pull or push the deformed components. By forcing it to be pulled or pushed, the deformed system will automatically create a new abstract deformed system. The gracity wells also help to determine the specific location which has to be chosen by students to attached their component.
SITE ANALYSIS
An abstract anti-gravitional site was provided by instructor in a form of mesh. 10 gravity wells/ balls are placed all over the site and students were demanded to be able connect their geometirc forms to the site and also interact with at least three graity wells around them.

MANHATTAN BEACH SELTER Fall 2012 Inst. Michelle Paul Pasadena City College
DESCRIPTION
A 1/16� scale beach shelter created out of white museum board and variety scales of basswoods. The project requires students to do researches on human and animal (especially bird) movement behaviour around the Manhattan Beach. The data later were converted into a movement diagram and student have to create a figure ground drawing (black and white). The figure drawing helps students to create a terain which mimic the huaman and animal movement around manhattan beach. The final model to add a 3-dimensional shelter based on the same figure drawings. The program of this project is mainly a shelter for resting area, also for people to hanging out while enjoying the enchanted Manhattan Beach in LA.
OBJECTIVE
To study human and animal behaviour on a public space / architectural landscape. An initial take off for model making practices in advancing three dimentional parametric form understanding. A successful project will deliver a clear understanding of form in relation with its language and program.
