REVITALIZE. INNOVATE. COHABIT. EXPLORE. MIXED USE / URBAN PLANNING conceptual design
In Collaboration with Charmian Lui Location: Portland, Oregon The Ford District stands in the remnants of Portland’s industrial history. With run down factories, this part of Portland’s Central Eastside is a post-industrial rust belt in a sense. By applying four design theories -REVITALIZE, INNOVATE, COHABIT, EXPLORE -- the Ford District can transform into a hub that nurtures the growing maker and startup movement.
REVITALIZE The site will stimulate innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship. Utilizing the nearby Ford Building as a catalyst for the two sites, it will incorporate workspaces for makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs; coworking spaces for users and the community; and a startup office. This plan will reinforce the idea of an 18-hour district, encouraging liveliness and vibrancy throughout the day. In addition, the site will incorporate a vertical garden, as the industrial neighborhood lacks greenery. INNOVATE The building will provide workspaces for entrepreneurs, makers, artists, and startups to thrive in via live-work units or workspaces. By providing experimental technology to connect living, working,
and playing, it allows the option to choose a working location that better suits the user’s needs, such as home or coworking space.
COHABIT By creating a community with focus on entrepreneurship, arts, and culture, living in an area with like-minded people will initiate a neighborhood of innovation, exploration, and revitalization. Physically compact and smart density will allow for conveniency and walkability in a transit accessible environment. Residence, place of work, and place of leisure will be in close proximity of one another, along with open spaces for gathering, socializing, and leisure. EXPLORE The liveliness of the two sites will initiate exploration of the buildings themselves in addition to the entire district. The vertical gardens of the Mason Supply site will initiate intrigue to visitors and users of the site to explore the interactive facade. The responsive facade of the Allan Building site will also initiate wonder to visitors and users.

PIXEL HOUSING provides residents flexibility in their living space with the option to add a room at any given time. Its modularity allows for ease of prefabricated construction and additive walls. The stacking of units varies based on sun exposure and provides views to the neighboring north plaza. The plaza provides a retail pavilion and community garden, of which residents can plant and grow produce, and sell to the community. The community center offers an education center as well. This education center helps residents and the community to better their lives through job training, adult education, and afterschool programs

TRIANGULAR CONNECTION FIRESTATION conceptual design
Location: San Diego, CA TRIANGULAR CONNECTION is a firestation and park serving high vehicular traffic area. The site is difficult for pedestrians to access without detouring on a safer route. In order to facilitate pedestrians, a bridge design is integrated into the firestation, branching out to intersections accessible to the site. As there are many health care facilities in the area, the project focuses on health and wellness. The traingle serves as a symbol for fire as well as mind, body, and spirit. In response to the “mind, body, and spirit,“ program elements of the park include an active physical area for the body, a rooftop garden for interaction in regards to the spirit, and a meditation area for the mind. The form of TRIANGULAR CONNECTION begins with a triangle and as program elements are added in, the form expands. TRIANGULAR CONNECTION also includes operable facade system that responds to climate and sun path.

CHOLLAS TRIANGLE FIRE STATION AND PARK SERVES THE CITY HEIGHTS EAST AND REDWOOD VILLAGE NEIGHBO HOODS. THIS AREA IS VERY LIMITED IN OPEN GREEN SPACES YET IT IS SURROUNDED BY RETAIL SPACES. THE SITE IS DIFF CULT FOR PEDESTRIANS TO ACCESS WITHOUT DETOURING ON A SAFER ROUTE. THERE ARE MANY HEALTH CARE FACI TIES IN THE AREA, THUS THE FOCUS OF THE PROJECT IS HEALTH AND WELLNESS. TRIANGLE SERVES AS A SYMBOL FO FIRE AS WELL AS MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT. THE FORM STARTSWITH A TRIANGLE AND AS PROGRAM ELEMENTS AR ADDED IN, THE FORM EXPANDS. THE CONCEPT OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS BASED ON MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT PROGRAM ELEMENTS OF THE PARK INCLUDE AN ACTIVE PHYSICAL AREA FOR BODY, A ROOFTOP GARDEN FOR INTERAC TION FOR SPIRIT, AND A MEDITATION AREA FOR MIND.

NESTLED ECOLOGICAL SPEC RESIDENCE conceptual design
Location: San Diego, CA NESTLED is an ecological spec residence that provides shelter to inhabitants that strive to be sustainable through their living arrangement as well as their lifestyle. It incorporates passive design as well as mechanical systems, such as geothermal heating, graywater basin and purification system, a thermosiphon system, and photovoltaic glazing. The theory of NESTLED was based on how to approach the context of the slope of the site – nestle into the slope, flow with the slope, and float on the slope. The dwelling is nestled against the slope of the canyon via cut and fill, providing thermal heat and cooling from the earth. In addition, nestling creates a sense of privacy from the public from the street level. However, the lightness in aesthetics creates a sense of wonder to those on the public sector looking afar. The shifting and stacking of levels creates a hierarchy of public to private spaces as well as allow for necessary solar heat gain in terms of programmatic spatial arrangement. The circulation flows with the slope hierarchy of spatial arrangement. NESTLED constructed mostly of structural insulated panels (SIP), which allows the home to be well-insulated and solar heat transfer is slowed down. The upper level of the eco-home is of an open floor plan, which allows for maximum ventilation and passive lighting. The mechanical room houses the inverter for the photovoltaic glazing, operational equipment for the thermosiphon system and graywater purifi-
cation system. The entry greets you with large floor to celling windows, which allows users and guests to view eastward to the canyon. A half staircase descends users to the main living area, consisting of the kitchen, main dining area, living room, and an office/study nook. The dining area and living area opens up to the roof deck, which allows for this space to seem larger than it is. This open floor plan allows for maximum socializing and interactions between users and guests. The operable clerestory windows and light shelf allows the interior of the main living area to be naturally lit through day lighting. The large sliding doors allows for maximum ventilation into the main living area. The stairwell descending to the lower level is a light well, encompassed by a photovoltaic glazing on the roof, curtain wall, and windows. This stairwell lets users view the canyon during their journey through the home. A skylight is placed in the lower level, which follows the path to the stairwell, letting day lighting to come into the lower level. The lower level is drastically more private than the main ground level. Bedrooms, closet spaces, bathrooms, and a laundry room are located on the lower level. Large sliding doors allow for maximum ventilation into the areas of repose and opens up to the lower roof terrace.
