MACHINE OBLIQUE LOCATION: Hollywood, California TYPE: Film Production Tower DATE: Winter/Spring 2014 ADVISOR: Stephen Phillips_LA Metro Architecture occupies the potential to create invigorating spaces, a paradigm of the translation where culture meets public responsibility. Machine Oblique is a mixed-use film production tower, which promotes the idea of creating interstitial spaces that allow a public event to be continuously observed from the street level to the inner workings of a high rise. As a series of truncated extrusions, Machine Oblique explores the reinvention of the main core circulation of a building as the pushpull notion of the form, thus redefining the workspace and encouraging interdisciplinary interaction between neighboring offices. The core is surrounded by an interwoven atrium centralized within office and private program spaces. The building in its entirety becomes a machine of public and private circulation, with the core’s duality in function in serving as the main structure as well as a theatrical display of circulation inside and out.

SPIDER ON MY RIGHT LOCATION: NYC, New York TYPE: Museum & Transportation Hub DATE: Fall 2014- Spring 2015 ADVISOR: Tom Di Santo_Bachelor Thesis Spider On My Right is a design concept example of how an object-oriented design approach can facilitate a reversal productive-destruction for architecture through its repurposing and adaptive reuse. The thesis argues that architecture’s role in matching the unpredictable fluctuations of society’s expansion and contraction is seldom successful due to its nature of permanence. The conventional significance placed on the constructive process of architecture neglects the importance of its eventual destruction, as its use no longer suffices the city’s demands. Designing beyond the intended building lifespan is a practice of socially responsible design, considering the dichotomy of addition and subtraction within architecture. A building that can no longer fulfill the demand of repurposing its programmatic and structural functions creates a toxic presence and ultimately renders its use obsolete.

INNER OBJECT Most private space within, facilitating special event gallery or temporary art displaces aside from the permanent collection
RIGID Functioning as a kit-of-whole in which the unit itself is fully contained with surface, structure, and space. Can be dissasemmbled to be reappropriated elsewhere but still remain in tact. Reliant on structural joint.

RED 40 LOCATION: Port Tonic, France TYPE: Art Gallery & Residential DATE: Summer 2013_Studio Ticino ADVISOR: Tom Di Santo COLLABORATION: With Ben Pennell Red 40 is a proposed remodel that brings together the community of Port Tonic France to exploit a blending between the art and the artist along the Mediterranean Sea. The natural hierarchy of the Port Tonic hillside lends itself to a variety of imposed views as you progress to the central art gallery. Along the hill slope, an avant-garde extrusion wraps around the existing structure. Red 40, a parasitic form that intrigues one to follow its path, navigates one throughout the spacious double floor art exhibitions. Inspired by the work of Roy Lichtenstein, the simplicity of the color red hints at the circulation path throughout the art space with a dramatic outdoor staircase. The contrast between the existing structural shell and the inorganic red extrusion create a suspenseful definition of passage in which accents of red compliment the subtle concrete.

SIX PACK LOCATION: San Luis Obispo, CA TYPE: Digital Fabrication Installation DATE: Winter 2015_Cal Poly ADVISOR: Jeff Ponitz & Dale Clifford COLLABORATION: With Trevor Larsen & Nick Taylor Through an exploration of developing architectural assemblies as a means to regulate environmental comfort with oilbased phase-change-materials (PCM) with exceptional thermal properties, SIX-PACK allows user flexibility with interchangeable tiles of various PCM volume combinations. The individual unit is fabricated through a thermoforming process using four mold sizes. Once molded, the tiles can then be organized in an unlimited number of ways with heat, light, and airflow consideration to maximize the benefits of PCM. An aluminum bracket attaches each tile module to the primary vertical structure, securing each module independently from the next. Several prototypes were developed for installation in Cal Poly’s 2015 Solar Decathlon House.
MODULE DETAILS MATERIAL Phase-changing material (PCM) absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night. Plastic containment are thermo-formed to specifiable volumes and aesthetic performances
CONNECTION Waterjet cut aluminum sheets folded with a lasercut MDF jig for precision angles. All friction fit to allow easy replacement and customization

PENN WHARTON EXHIBIT Contemporary Architecture Practice
TYPE: Professional, Exhibition DATE: Summer/Fall 2015 HEADED BY: Ali Rahim, Hina Jamelle, Rodney McManus, and Nicola Beck ROLE: Design, Fabrication, Image Curation, and Project Delivery “Chinese Architecture Practice: Past, Present, Future” is an exhibition design led by CAP at the Penn Wharton China Center in Beijing showcasing the historical background of the university and its architectural developments including a display of local and foreign firms such as Zaha Hadid Architects and Tongji University among others. From conceptualization to fabrication and its final assembly, we worked in a variety of mediums to accomplish a cohesive design. The display elements were composed of ½” milled MDF panels attached to back-lit printed acrylic sheeting displaying information and renders of each firms selected work. The inner structure consisted of “Burkhardt Leitner Pon Systems” for easy assembly and storage. Custom furniture and podiums for displaying models were fabricated as well for the exhibition.

For the drawings and diagrams done for projects in progress: The Main Museum, Los Angeles (Tom Wiscombe) and a VIP Client Project in Beijing (Contemporary Architecture Practice), both involved presentation quality of the current design proposal for Schematic through Design Development. Both involved an understanding of building codes and working with structural engineers of their respective locations. Throughout the different projects, an understanding of how our conventional means plans, sections, and perspectival renders communicate design and intention to the client and public was further explored.
