S O U TH PA RK RESIDE N CE This studio focused on the small scale urban environment. This project is a residence/studio/gallery in San Francisco’s South Park neighborhood. The project is derived from a study of framing: framing of the sky by the buildings, framing of the windows on their facades, and the framing of the buildings by the trees on the street. By overlaying the different framing specific programming and organization strategies apparent due to the fluctuation in space.
S U TRO BAT HS CONSER VA N CY This studio focused on topographically intricate sites and different strategies for building in these conditions. The project is a Nature Conservancy located on the historic site of San Francisco’s Sutro Baths. This Project looks at the space above and between built planes as well at the site below and how each space relates to one another through materiality while providing differing experiences.
CH E LS E A HOT EL The focus of this studio was studing of the urban environment. This project is a hotel in the heart of New York City’s Chelsea disstrict and is connected to Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s Highline project.

The project investigates the relationship between public and private spaces and how they can interact both visually and acoustically. It begins to question the experience of staying in a hotel in a busy urban environment by allowing the public to occupy a path that runs through the building adjacent to private circulation and spaces. The public path connects multiple public gathering spaces located on different floors of the hotel.

S E NS O R I U M: D IGITALI SM Body in Spectacle This is an in progress project being done by a group of students from California College of the Arts working with a nonprofit organization called Out Of Site. The organization provides a place for public high school students in San Francisco to investigate the world of visual and performing arts in a free, safe, challenging environment. This semester we are working on creating a float for the Carnival Parade in the Mission District of San Francisco. Carnival is a rich cultural experience where the students will not only have a hand in creating the float, but also to participate in the parade itself, either by joining the dance crew of Sambaxe or the youth drumming core Loco Bloco.

The exhibition and the workshop behind it investigates real-time, agent driven approaches towards design in a collaborative and hands-on way.
This exhibition explores how architects might simultaneously be designers of material as well as form.
The experimental workshop embraces these concepts of nature. Utilizing a system of space filling truncated octahedrons four groups worked in parallel towards competing objectives. Like termites each group had only local awareness, responding only to sensory input from their direct local environment. Where carefully planned and executed lines of action was exceedingly rare the outcome reflected the optimal for each groups design task negotiated through the process of building.
The workshop explored the use of experimental materials in the creation of new architectural space. Material innovation is increasingly occurring around the possibility to meet performance criteria via the design of material, rather than solely through geometric or mechanical solutions. As designed synthetic materials, composites form the basis for this expanded architectural practice, but their use implies a more active role for material in the design of form, outside that of more familiar practices. The final product is an investigation of weight distribution and load carrying abilities of the composite material.
