quote [It's] odd when you look back at your own work. Some ďŹ lmmakers don't look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot, actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I've done in terms of what I'm going to do in the future, mistakes I've made and things at work or what have you. — Christopher Nolan

to revitalize downtown albuquerque
In our current condition, we harbor talent and send it off into the world. It is not that the University of New Mexico does not have promising students—we simply lack the incentives to keep them within the state. Students who desire larger, more ambitious projects often leave for either coast if they are free of familial obligations. Or they remain in undergraduate programs for 5+ years. Instead of transplanting our talent elsewhere, I propose that we move to a new model of development—we build a partnership with another university within the southwest in an attempt to build a regional research core. We can circulate talent within the region, but still keep it in close proximity to the University—which will lead to more research, more jobs, more incentive to stay in the region, and further growth.

Analyzing the site
to revitalize downtown albuquerque
I began to analyze the site in order to develop form and create the basis for my diagrammatic model. I used circulation as a base and drew upon the most populated areas of the site to see where people were coming from residentially and where they were going for entertainment, leisure, and dining. I proposed a complete re-working of the downtown area in order to re-imagine new boundaries for the art district and create space for new residential homes and a technology district to draw attention from the various labs and companies within the city.

Personal photography

At heart, I am a photographer and there is nothing I enjoy more than photographing still life scenes and architecture. I minored in art studio and focused specifically on developing my skill with cameras both behind the lens and in front of the computer.

Summary When we began our research into MEPV, our first decision was that we wanted to take advantage of the size and flexibility of the solar cells. Our initial idea involved printing the solar cells onto paper in combination with organic, paper thin batteries. That idea, however, was quickly abandoned in favor of developing a solar fabric to be used in tensile roofing, which, eventually could lead to a breathable, wearable fabric. We engaged in a throrough investigation of various natural, industrial and synthetic fibers and fabrics already in use. We also researched PTFE and ETFE films to find a suitable weatherproof, protective coating for the MEPV cells that would also retain the flexibility of the cells without impeding on sunlight intake. Our biggest limitation was finding a fiber that could withstand the temperature of the solder(180C).

“BAPV is Building Applied PV -– it’s a retrofit added to the building long after construction, while BIPV is Building Integrated PV and it means just that -- the architects, building designers, building owners designed the photovoltaics into the skin and roof of the building from day one. ”
Possible smart glass integration was an early idea. Research into solar glass is currently being done at the University of Oxford with various colors.
Applications of MEPV Patterning
Mass Commercial and Residential Use Tensile Roofing
The Solar Glitter (MEPV) comes in a variety of colors and can be applied in various patterns to accomodate branding or logo placement.
Self cleaning, high radiation resistance, and tensile strength of 42 N/mm² (6100 psi).
While polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), sold under the name Teflon, has a higher melting point, it has a lower mechanical toughness than ETFE.
Current solar clothing is not aesthetically appealing and it only generates enough energy to charge an ipod with standard USB voltage.

Known As: Tefzel by DuPont, Fluon by Asahi Glass Company, Neoflon ETFE by Daikin,and Texlon by Vector Foiltec.
“The Water Cube consists of 100,000 sq m of ETFE, (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) a unique transparent plastic which absorbs solar radiation and reduces thermal loss. This is the first time ETFE has been used in China and it is the world’s largest and most complex ETFE building ever constructed.”
Conclusion/Citations In conclusion, our goal was to take advantage of the paperthin size of the MEPV cells. Additionally, we wanted to target not only the commercial sector, but the residential sector as well while stil leaving enough room for further innovation in the future as the technology advances. Therefor, we decided to research the possiblity of a solar fabric and integrating that into either a BIPV or a BAPV tensile roof. Links:
Knowing that there are already flexible solar roofs in development, albiet with limited durability and efficiency, we began to move forward with complete BIVP using ETFE tensile roofing as our base to showcase the possibilities and limitations of MEPV. “Fabric structures vary vastly from other forms of building materials. Their light weight and versatility in shape and structure provides a unique range of dynamic and exciting three dimensional options.

Fabric architecture covers not only complex tensioned membrane structures through fabric engineering but also beautiful and unique fabric sculptures and shade structures.

Having long been used in tent structures, where guy ropes provide tension to the fabric that allows the tent structure to withstand heavy loads, these principles were only adapted to create tensile membrane structures in the last few decades.”

Solar glitter
a collaboration with sandia labs
Woven into tensile roofing structures, MEPV solar cells provide power to stadiums and plazas for events, but they can also allow structures to plug power back into the grid. Currently there are several stadiums in the United States running primarily on solar power. Many of those stadiums generate enough power to provide electricity for thousands of homes in addition to events. The cells can also be woven in to fabrics to provide power for wearable devices. This was a group project and we worked in pairs of three. My group was one of the two who succeeded in providing an idea to Sandia Labs which they felt encompassed the potential of the MEPV.

Emotion and Film
a new library for the people of SF
For the second semester of our third year studio we were instructed to create a library for the people of san francisco in the south of market district. We visited the area over spring break to analyze the site and the city. I wanted to combine film and phenomenology to design an emotive film library which gave the participant the experience of watching any movie in its original intended setting.

CONCEPT:
INSPIRATION:
How were pioneering techniques in film first percieved by the original audience?
Vertigo, by Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo is the perception of motion where none exists.
More importantly, how can architecture be used to preserve, or emulate the sensation first felt that generated the emotion which provoked critics and audiences to place such importance upon certain momentsand scenes in film.
Filmed in December 1957 with location footage of San Francisco, Hitchcock was one of the first directors to take advantage of the dolly zoom, now colloquially known as the “vertigo zoom� to change perception and disorient the audience.
