introduction
I have always been inspired by artful design. While learning about landscape architecture, I have continually been inspired by form and interesting geometries present within design. With my background in grading and my understanding of landscape plasticity, I have naturally done well at visualizing landform within my projects, and you will see this in my work here. This portfolio embodies some of my best projects ranging from Los Angeles River site design, to site specific exploration of form and digital fabrication, landscape architecture and urban design with SWA Group, and possibly more radical urban design approaches to the city of West Hollywood, CA.

bridging the gap
03
In response to a day and era where cities fragment human experience with our important ecosystems, Bridging the Gap allows users to take part in informal learning methods of ecological exploration, while also connecting the isolated neighborhood of Frogtown back to the city fabric. In a historically rich river front environment, families and children of all ages can now wander through a reactivated Bowtie Parcel to make discoveries about native Los Angeles River ecology, local geography, and the bioremediation techniques necessary for an existing brownfield.

There are many problems associated with the Los Angeles Region’s traditional habit of sprawl. Due to the lack of open space this habit creates in West Hollywood, here patterns of city-making are transformed by utilizing barren open spaces as opportunity for an enlarged public realm. This process is acheived by promoting vertical density in response to an ever-changing West Hollywood and a projected population growth that is unreasonable under the current housing supply. Group project from Cal Poly Pomona. All graphics and 3D model shown here were produced by me. Design and narrative ideas were part Chris Anderson, Ivan F. Velazquez, Jeff Palmer, and myself.

This studio explored the potential of the former rail yard officially known as Los Angeles State Historic Park, better known locally as The Cornfields. We begun with an intense mapping drawn to combine a spectrum of information gathered from site research. This graphic compilation then informed an exploration of site specific spatial types, which were then digitally fabricated. Individual project.

eco city
25
Eco City, Bangalore, India references Bangalore’s history of being known for its lakes, gardens, treelined streets, and grassy plains. Where courtyards serve as gardens and an internal golf course and green-way functions as a grassy plain. I came on to this project immediately after the competition was awarded to SWA Group for concept master plan on 292 acres + schematic design for phase one. On Eco City we worked through Master Planning, Urban Design, and Landscape Architecture concerns. At a rapid pace and on a team of three, the project was completed in only seven months after the competition. All graphics here were produced by me, however design and planning was a group effort performed by Dhaval Barbhaya, Patrick Sunbury, and myself.
