The BE.ing Collective
Barbara G. Laurie Student Design Competition | Top 7 Finish Team: Cameron Nayman, Mary Le, Deysy Cruz, Dai Le, Henry Melendrez, Tuyen Le NOMA Conference | Oakland, California
The BE.ing Collective, a place that fosters humanity, justice, and identity for the black community, has a goal to recover East Oakland and become more resilient together. With the form and facade appearing as broken fragments, the Be.ing Collective portrays Black history events weaving together as one central idea -- the disparities that have caused this ongoing fight for change. The healing elements of this proposal aim to empower the community by its programmatic functions. It strives towards excellence and resiliency in an architecture that reflects its vibrant population. Staying true to the core of East Oakland, the Be.ing is characterized by its individuals’ realities and the displaced notion of inequality. Acknowledging, empowering, and preserving the culture is imperative in being together.

Kansas City Waterfront Kansas CIty, Missouri
The Town of Kansas Bridge and the waterfront is currently a neglected area despite its initial design intent to revitalize it. A new proposal to this area needs to encourage more curiosity and exploration, bringing life back to the waterfront. After a series of models and conceptual studies, the new proposal breaks from a traditionally level and axial bridge layout of a pier. This experience enables the visitors to immerse themselves in the landscape by stopping at different viewpoints along their route.

Boone Municipal Airport Richard F. Hansen Prize Finalist Team: Cameron Nayman, Jihoon Kim Boone, Iowa
The Boone Municipal airport’s existing condition of poor infrastructure was a casualty of its low utility and upkeep. With only about 60 flights per month, the potential of this site has not been realized. We explore a new possibility to revitalize the Boon Municipal Airport by introducing a new infrastructure and program. An Aerospace Engineering Center’s proposal introduces a symbiotic relationship between flight aviation (the users) and its design process (the engineers).

The LAX Playground Team: Cameron Nayman, Angie Espinoza Los Angeles, California
Open-air leisure and natural greenspace are strikingly scarce at Los Angeles International Airport. Travelers spend enough time tirelessly navigating the built environment, yet there is no place to take time away from it. As the Theme Building’s historic site lies in LAX’s heart, there is an opportunity to revive the airport’s natural landscape starting at its core. The LAX Playground and Architecture Learning Center offer extensive greenspace (about 150,000 SF) to begin the reclamation of the natural world.
