LA CENTER for PERFOMANCE ART Los Angeles, California
The Los Angeles Center of Performance Art building is a mixed use black box theater space. It has 3 theaters of varying sizes, as well as multiple cafes, shops, sitting areas, and outdoor plazas. The building is located adjacent to Pershing Square, one of the most popular green spaces areas in downtown Los Angeles, with multiple terraces overlooking the space. The concept of the building was shifting the theater spaces in and out of main structure to get floating theater spaces as well as maximizing the shade underneath the structure while minimizing the footprint of the building.

Latin America Contemporary Art Musuem Buenos Aires, Argentina
In this museum design project, the concept was to have a vortex inspired staircase throughout the central core, while having the exterior facade mimic the same patterns with light. The light released into the building will act as a guide throughout the building, leading from staircase to staircase, and
floor to floor using translucent steel panel floor plates to emit light. While using the light to navigate throughout galleries, the residual spaces from shadow to shadow are used for bathrooms, closets, conference rooms and classrooms.

Torrey Pines Gliderport San Diego, California
The Gliderport project was set in San Diego, California, above black beach. The concept of the project was reflective of what I felt was the most prominant feature of the sight. For the large crack in the terrain, I decided to “stitch” the site back together using both circulation and seating areas as outdoor space. The project was designed to be a destination for tourism, dining, viewing, or just leisure. The project has multiple levels, each moving closer to the cliff, while rebounding back and forth across the creviced terrain.

Community Development Master Plan San Diego, California
The community development project was developed as a three generational style private complex. By incorporating a bus stop, child development center, as well as a small public office building which can be used during the day by seniors, the need for leaving the site becomes minimal. With high density as well as mini private and public green spaces located throughout, this community is reflective of and inspired by Pueblo Ribera in La Jolla, California.

Additional Works Dis-assembly Project
Students are asked to pick a mechanical object, they must then dis-assemble the object to document all individual pieces. Students must then make a 3d Representation of the object as well as build it back to working conditions. The project serves as a learning exercise to help students learn new programs and ways to represent work.
Additional Works
Temporary Housing Mini-Project
Additional Works Morphic Box Study
During this Project, Students began with a 12” x 12” x 6” Styrene Box. Then melted the box with a heat gun and using multipe techniques both with objects as well as distance and temperature settings, formed a parametric shape. Students then must document and present the shape using contours, color, shadows and lineweights.
