FLORIDA RECREATION & STUDENT CENTER
Year: 2021
Role: Conceptual design, architectural drawings, visualization
The aim of this project was to create a recreation center responsive to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 while striving for maximum sustainability.
Consequently, the structure places a priority on outdoor shaded workout areas for individuals and provides secluded study booths for students seeking refuge from crowded environments.
Sustainable design choices encompass a self-shading facade, solar energy storage, natural insulation, and natural air filtration systems. Visual transparency played a key role in connecting the spaces, allowing programs to bleed into each other and illuminating spaces on the first floor with natural lights. Furthermore, natural elements are used as both an air filtration system and a wayfinding element that accompanies the occupant throughout the building.

LATECH CENTER FOR LIBERAL ARTS
Year: 2022
Role: Conceptual design, architectural drawings, visualization
Reimagining student spaces represents a significant stride towards fostering an environment conducive to collaboration and social engagement. It’s crucial for both students and faculty to have areas outside traditional classrooms where they can easily connect. These innovative spaces will revolutionize perceptions of study environments, establishing central hubs for interaction within the building.
The design aims to establish a vibrant flow throughout the building, visually and spatially connecting different floors by elongating the atrium along the building’s perimeter. To add dynamism to the structure, the atrium is pushed inward, altering the building’s shape. Furthermore, the building incorporates a secondary vertical circulation that weaves internally, offering intriguing spatial encounters and distinctive sectional features.
