PERSONAL STATEMENT

“The mother [earth] is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul for our own civilization.”

— Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture is...earth. Architecture is wind. Architecture is water. Architecture is fire. Architecture is light. Architecture is the manipulation of these elements for the benefits of our lives and well being, to advance in society, and most importantly to preserve and protect the elements for future generations to come.

As a goal oriented individual, I do not get distracted by the process but rather stay focused on the big picture – the goal.

It is my mission as an aspiring architect, to thrive towards improving living standards of all people and to assure public safety. According to Vitruvius, architects should strive towards the 3 principles of architecture — firmness, commodity, and delight; these might be the ideal then but now architects must also consider sustainability and social/environmental responsibilities.

My designs are my expression of beauty through curvilinearity, explorations of sustainability and biomimicry, and pragmatic functionality. I have chosen to embark this career path to strive for a better future for the public. I believe that my existing skills and experience, together with my commitment to become an architect, and my aspiration for new experiences and knowledge makes me an ideal candidate for this career.

Selected Works This portfolio contains some of my works from architectural studios and curriculum as well as personal artworks and should, to a degree, be an adequate representation of myself.

ST. JOHNS TOWER

Mixed-use Podium + Tower 60,000 sq. ft.

750 Bay St. Development.

Jacksonville ,Florida.

STUDIO OBJECTIVE _To develop a new urban entertaining and cultural center with accommodations and residency by analyzing the city lay out and zoning as well as the flow of traffic through and from the site. _To develop a master plan for the empty site by transforming the existing landscape which then generates four individual but unified sites for allocation of building footprints and public spaces.

STUDIO OBJECTIVE

Bridge Pavilion

_To re-imagine the concept of the architectural surface. Surface is refined and reconfigured for use as a generative device, one that initiates all phases of the architectural argument developing the formal and aesthetic logic, while also organizing the volumetric and programmatic parameters.

SCAD Savannah, GA re-representing the site This particular site was chosen to exploit the potential and activate spaces adjacent to major transportation routes, typically underutilized in cities. The geometric boundaries created by local streets and major routes afford the design of a new building to operate as connecting device, faรงade and symbolic entry to the campus.

This project also addreses the way materials create diverse sensations in space, focusing on the effects produced by materials, textures, and surfaces. Through manipulation of these elements, beauty, ornament, and pattern have found their way back into contemporary design.

New Orleans,Gulf Coast

Bywater District

As New Orleans faces a future in which widespread abandonment is a real possibility,the team has been chosen to design a 20-Unit Apartment Building, a net zero affordable housing building for displaced residents of the 9th Ward and a Community Services Center, featuring community services, a Visitor’s and Green Building Resource Center, an arts and cultural component, and an emergency center. For emergency needs, a rain water harvesting system will collect water (with filtration bringing it to drinking water standards). _Biomimicry as a design guidance.

Architects today seek nature for inspiration and answers to solve design problems. Nature is our mentor, model, and measure. We have to recognize that we are a part of, not apart from, nature. Seeking nature’s advice at all stages of design may allow us one day become one with nature again.

[Biomimicry] is the new design solution for the future, it identifies nature’s blueprints and emulate its time tested phenomena, patterns, and principles and mimicking how living organisms have survived and thrived over the 3.8 billion years life has existed on Earth. Identify patterns in nature and adapt these patterns will help us solve human problems.

we identify the pattern and principle of organism’s design which its functions are to move and store water. It stores water for later use in dry season and moves water out when its full. Base on nature’s concept of moving and storing, we emulates and utilized this nature design as guidelines to our design solution.

Site Section

In animate design, gradient forces are applied as direct abstract analogies for environmental influences, such as wind and water, and contextual phenomena, such as pedestrian and vehicular movements, urban vistas, configurations, patterns and intensities of use, etc. It is the dynamics of forces, or, more precisely, force fields, as an initial condition that produces the motion and the particular transformations of form, i.e. the digital morphogenesis. Objects interact with each other instead of just occupying space; they become connected through a system of interactions where the whole is always open to variations as new fields of influence are added or new relations made, creating new possibilities.
