Inspired by the fear of being average… This thought is what keeps me working all day and night, “passion” a drug that is stronger than caffeine or love. Living in constant worry of your work becoming irrelevant and “old” not physically but intellectually, and yes I ask myself, why I can’t live like a normal 23 year old girl living in Los Angeles? Because I’m not normal, I was raised in Tijuana, Baja California and I had the opportunity of studying at a place like SCI-Arc that cultivates mad scientists, were we forecast the migrations of culture. Tijuana is in need of architects or a young and foolish hero that is willing to take that position and to project images of what the future might become. My ten year vision is to acquire professional working skills from my future work place and bring back the tools and assets back to my hometown, a true hero’s journey.

Performing Arts School 5A Studio Fall 2018, Ming Fung Collaboration with Ning Lui Yi Our project located in Colombia, Bogotá is called programmatic joinery; we use this metaphor of joinery to represent the exchange of ideas within a school. A joint is defined as something that is common to two or more involving a united activity. We began our project by doing spatial studies of wood joints, through the acts of hinging, meandering and keys. Although the joints express seamless boundaries from the exterior giving the contradictory impression that the project is a whole, in reality the interior is composed of interlocking parts. The programmatic strategies of wood joinery offer new ways of interactive exchange within the context of learning and education. For our formal studies, we drew inspiration from pre-Colombian jewelry and specifically the Tairona symbols that adorn them. The distinctive gold work is an ancient tradition from Colombia, where the tribes wore animal creature pendants as a form of worship.

Implementing spatial studies of wood joinery and formal studies of pre-Colombian jewelry, in our Performing Arts school we created a unique hybrid program that encourages cross-disciplinary interaction between the disciplines of dance, music and visual arts. In terms of tectonics the skin is derived from the brushed unfinished gold leaf texture. The various components in our building are given different materials to help distinguish them. Transparency is defined based on program needs were skylights and glass walk ways create feature moments of our public building. In Conclusion, the school we have designed is a metaphor for collaborative learning as many joints fit together to create one whole.

A Stranger’s Body 4B Studio Spring 2018, Jakob + Macfarlane
Tour Pleyel is a current project that is being restored in the district of Saint Denis, Paris, France, one of the tallest towers in the district. This tower is to be utilized as a central metro station, office and hotel space hosting speciďŹ cally the 2020 Paris Olympics. The Olympics has many pros and cons towards the host of the current city. Some of the negative impacts caused during the Olympics is the residue left behind once the event is over leaving a burden towards the city afterwards. The projects constructed for the Olympics are only meant to host the masses of people but once the events are over the Olympic buildings are too expensive to function and maintain. The restoration for this project will consist of restoring the tower towards its original condition besides adding a second skin to the bottom half of the tower adding on more program.

Tour Pleyel is a liminal subject that foregrounds an intimate connection with a foreign body. The foreign body creates uncanny thresholds with connecting bridges to spaces and voids that look into ruination. Where ruin alters and intensiďŹ es the aesthetic relationship between nostalgia and modernity, a strangeness that lures one in rather than alienates it. Where the archetype boundary of a site is not where something ends but begins the typology of the ground is challenged and manipulated through the skin taking the viewer through the vast central void.

Berkeley Museum of Art 3B Studio Spring 2017, Jenny Wu Collaboration with Randall Zaragoza Emerging figures, producing organization and hierarchy contribute to; part to whole relationships both formally and organizationally within the Library constraints and requirements. The initial exercise begins by designing primitive volumes based of scale less lofted volumes derived from lines from space. Aggregating and Boolean union and/or difference multiple self-similar volumes and setting up two different relationships from each volume such as interlocking, nesting, distributed, centralized and stacked. Furthering the implications of the volumetric figures a cropping box was strategically placed on the scheme based on the bounding box of the site. The linearity of our figures imposes the directionality of North to South. The site grounds are manipulated with the reflection of the figures, producing pedestrian flow.

The interior articulation is produced from the affecting geometry of the emerging figures produced in the exterior. In addition, to the conventional structural grid, differing from the window slits. In section, the affecting figures suggest private program versus non-affecting exterior figures suggest public program, contributing to solid versus void program spaces. When studied through plan view the program spaces are viewed as open spaces with no barriers. The building is divided into two parts with an atrium in the middle section. Natural ventilation is provided through the use of skin perforation allowing the building to easily bring cool air flow and hot air out into the void space allowing it to stay at thermal comfort. The seams engraved in the exterior produce windows or openings in which they break the linearity of the building. In addition, the window slits produce diffused natural lighting contributing to the ecological lighting system.

Berkeley Museum of Art 4A Design Development Fall 2017, Scott Uriu & Pavel Getov Collaboration with Sarah Caracamo Further developing the Berkeley Museum of art, through the investigation of issues related to the implementation of design: technology, the use of materials, systems integration, and the archetypal strategies of force, order and character. Rethinking how we can envision and communicate design in innovative ways which exceed the design object itself. In addition, with reviewing basic and advanced construction methods, analysis of building codes, the design of structural and mechanical types, the development of building materials and the integration of building components and systems.

Precedent Diagrams
The Scottish Parliament Enric Miralles The windows on the West side of the building is an important element that make this building special such as utilizing and manipulating material, scale, and form. The scale and form of the windows on the West Elevation are estranged from the façade questioning flatness and depth while creating shadow. The exterior of the window provokes depth to the façade, while the interior function is a seated corner desk. The material of the window and the intricate tectonic offset unifies the depth of the window, by mixing natural wood, aluminum and glass.
Transformation of Massing figure The Scottish parliament window was skewed and transformed through the use of scale in height and width, rotation, and manipulating planer surfaces to curved surfaces. Rotation was compared and contrasted through Boyle Heights pitched roof rotation, the rotation goes from smallest to largest on the rotated roof surface. Scale is emphasized through use of width and height, the height of the massing figure emphasizing on the rotation of the roof.

Parti Diagrams 1630-1636 Pleasant Ave Boyle Heights 90033 With the manipulation and estrangement of material, scale, and form studied from the Scottish Parliament. Comparing and contrasting it with the context of Boyle Heights, finding itself the center of simple rooflines and symmetrical windows. With hidden interior walls brought up by human necessities made out of impromptu bath curtains. Questioning, the rotation of the roofline, the height per floor as well as the maximum height restrictions. While the exterior provokes in total six pitched roof unit homes, the interior is split into only three units, boundaries derived from tectonic shifts manipulated from the exterior. In addition the interior questions the horizontal traditional layout, were moving throughout spaces vertically is essential.

In addition, with sampling and manipulating height, area and roof rotation. Using and manipulating common building materials and common hispanic colors such as in the following context. Materials such as porcelain tile found in Marachi plaza, standard brick in La Monarca Bakery, and blue staggered shingles in a standard home next to the site. Texture mapping is used as a camouflage mechanism used to blend in with the area. Possible defense mechanisms to stop riots, protests, against the neighborhood due to gentrification.

Context Diagrams Traffic Studies
Several sites that would generate a speciďŹ c crowd would be: Mariachi plaza, La Monarca Bakery, and the duplex housing on the north and east side. The majority of the people would be families with kids, Mariachi plaza would bring many children in the neighborhood since it is mainly used as a playground. NB oyle Av e

In addition with, East 1st Street being a heavy traffic street, and the Santa Ana Freeway, this type of traffic can be used to an advantage for the triplex housing bringing buzz and positive popularity to the Boyle Heights community.
