Analysis Land Art Generator Initiative - 302
Lower Los Angeles River Opportunity Plan - 332L
LAX Dunes - 301
To analyse is the attempt to reveal. I say attempt because of the flexibility with nature. Nature has a habit of adjusting to its surroundings often and quickly but humans hold and continue outdated traditions. To analyse is to find what is needed for a project but the process to find everything is an endless journey. 2

system of for human occupancy. Water has always been known as a barrier to humanity because of its lack of solidity. It creates an experience like no other to have your back to the land and face the ocean, but the walls are still there. Humanity still separates itself from this voided space. Fluid Foundation breaks those walls; it brings the ocean to the ground plane and creates spaces of interaction, and spaces to build upon. A foundation on the ocean.

This foundation gives an experience to the ideals of renewable energy. Most techniques are so non-responsive: windmills, solar panels, hemostats; they are objects utilized for full efficiency with no human value to them. This Fluid Foundation breaks these theories. Bringing renewable energy not only an aesthetic value but creating an experience coupled with the idea.

Opportunity Plan
This is the project I was a part of at AHBE Landscape Architects. I was in charge of collecting, analysing, and displaying this infomation to the office through GIS. For the final display, our two-person team created an opportunity plan for the most neglected section of the Los Angeles River. Taking into account the data below, we found areas that can be improved bus stations, vacant lots to parks, suggested bike paths, additional access to the LA River, and areas strictly for ecological development.

LAX Dunes This was a study of not only the direction of wind surrounding the Los Angeles International Airport but the spread and distribution of particle pollution in the area. The purpose of this project was to study a system surrounding LAX because the site of the project was the El Segundo Dunes, west of the airport. This project was used as a basis for the final design because of the intangibility of this danger. The goal of the design made in the end could be used as a method in controlling these dangerous systems. A type of kit of parts that can be used in other sites of similar conditions.
Legend: The design intent in creating this map was to express these complex systems with a single diagram repeated throughout the map. Each detail in the diagram has some significance, from the distance between the dots of the radii, which is the comparative size of the two types of partial pollutions studied, to the

Design Analysis The second phase of the quarter was to create a map of the specified site. This map shows the potential of movement in sand and water, the potential dispersal of seeds based on densities of vegetation and topography, and densities in the habitats from vertical structures and high human occupancy. This map was used in the third and final phase of the quarter to understand the natural forces in the area and try to control the uncontrollable. Similar to the first phase, this map was created using three types of diagrams repeated throughout the area. The final result of this created these pockets inside the site of either high activity or not, this was the idea for the final design. Creating these pockets to

Perhaps the most threatening aspect of habitat restoration sustaining the El Segundo Dunes is the accelerated rate at which we ignore the natural effects that are occurring in this environment. These conditions have had a strong impact on the formation of these dunes; littoral drift, wing pattern behaviors, and human interaction. This design does not see an issue, it see opportunities in which ecosystems could evolve naturally. This kit of parts is a method for a new form of restoration, a design of potential outcomes to bring out the natural benefits that come with the natural forces being implied to the site such as the ocean, the wind, and the human occupancy. This non-site specific method is more of an experimental landscape, to reshape the ideas nature from a pristine environment to a fluid, ever-changing plane.

Experimentation Owens Lake: Lake Of Failure - 303
Oculus - 401L
CPP Lanterman Restoration Site - 403L
The word experimentation means the action or process of trying out new ideas, methods, or activities with the expectations of discovery. This is usually seen as a scientific term but in design it is to push for change. To question what is know and find other unique answers and processes. 14

The Owens Lake project was a topic that tackled the issue of dust mitigation in “dead lakes”. Currently, Owens is in the process of a decade long project that will reoccur every cycle directed by the design. The design is efficient but lacking in human experience and ecological awareness. The topic studio took this as an opportunity to create an analysis of the ecosystems in play on the site and how to create a parametric design that reacts to these systems.

Owens Lake Analysis / LA303L Estevan Castaneda, Antonio De Jesus, Ryan Lawson, Kevin Lei, Alexa Miranda,
The final design of this project was to create a plan that would not only evolve with Owens Lake but to be a system which can be repeated infinitely. One aspect we wanted to duplicate was the edge condition that existed in Owens Lake currently, the approach my team took was to create a series of mounds that would deform and manipulate according to the water. As time went on, the mounds would become collection basins to benefit the existing ecosystems. The product of this project was a video presenting our analysis, machine investigation, and our implementation plan. The video was a group effort and I was in charge of the animated aspects of the short film which were any amount of text shown and the mapping scene. The QR code on the right will show the video if scanned. 16
Oculus Process In this studio, the class worked with the Walk Disney Imagineers with the topic of freedom and what it means to people. The way I approached the topic was to show the beauty of freedom through the depiction of memories and having the choice to follow a dream. With the earlier projects, I tried to tell a story with each. First were a set of postcards where I told a story about a man trying to follow his dream despite the challenges of life getting in the way. The second was a deconstruction of an item that represented this freedom. I chose a calendar because not only does it let someone plan for the future but also works as a sort of diary of events from the past.
Design The site was Liberty Island in New York City and the design itself was made to build on this idea of temporal memories. Building moments in the landscape that stand out from the rest. To create a landscape the evokes different emotions thus triggering different memories.

CPP Lanterman Campus Analysis Introduction This was the last studio for my bachelor degree classes at CPP and it was a restoration of a historical asylum near the Cal Poly Pomona Campus. The class started with studies done on other colleges and their design, then creating an analysis of the site, and finally a redesign.
Phase 1: College Studies The first stages being the study of different university campuses, my team studied two other schools in California which were UCLA and Caltech. Two schools with opposite scales, circulation, and transportation systems.
Phase 2: Analysis of Restoration The next stage was the analysis of the site which we covered very throughly but we were more concerned with the concept of “restoration� and what that meant to architecture and landscape. The next two pages is an article I wrote on the idea of restoration and how two-dimensional the concept is. That the idea of restoration has so much potential but it is often wasted because the idea is centralized around the facades of buildings. The next two pages also express the passion I have in writing and how I hope to continue to 19

CPP Lanterman: Questioning Restoration
Approaching the project from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about preservation in architecture, our group took this as an opportunity to challenge the traditional methodologies of architectural preservation. These traditional methodologies consist of preserving the structural integrity and facades of historical buildings, not taking into account the spacial attributes in buildings and the landscape outside. Our goal was to give preservation a new lens to look through, not only considering the facades but the area as a cohesive space with its solids and voids. The three methods we actively implemented onto the site are additive restoration, subtractive restoration, and adaptive restoration. Each one celebrating pieces of restoration but reforming the spaces for modern function and cohesive experiences. The first method is addition restoration. This method is to simply add on to the buildings themselves, which is implemented in the ENV section of our project. Most of the existing infrastructure remains in this area but the additions are placed to emphasize the connections we want to create. The plaza is made up of four large buildings; three are being made for the three design majors in the ENV college: Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning, the fourth is programed as the main hub for all ENV majors. The additions to these sections are made to be spaces where multiple majors intersect and interact; either studio spaces or lecture halls. Even though these additions change the entire function of these spaces, the previous infrastructure facades remain intact so the space can continue to be marveled at. previous infrastructure facades remain intact so the space can continue to be marveled at. The second method implemented onto 21
the site is subtractive restoration, which is implemented in the Film District. This method consists of physically cutting into a building and adding to the subtracted void as a result; on a list of historical buildings and made pretty for pictures. To keep the old buildings would keep a scale not fitting for a school, so the restoration approach we did propose was the restoration of the landscape. This area was full of aged trees and made the space a beautiful experience, thus keeping the landscape and destroying the architecture is a stance on the significance in historical landscapes in contrast with historical buildings. The final method, adaptive restoration, is keeping the same exterior of the building but adapting the interior and landscape to better fit modern activities. Similar to traditional restoration, this method celebrates the beauty of the architecture but also include the interior and the landscape surrounding the façade. In the past, Lanterman was a place that people who were mentally unstable or considered mentally unstable were put for the rest of their lives. Away from their families and away from the public. The treatment they would do on these patients were seen as necessary back then but now, the practices are seen as barbaric. Practices such as lobotomy and sterilization. Later on, Lanterman evolved into a type of retirement home but this does not hide the cruel history of the site. This is the history that should be acknowledged and shown with “historicalâ€? restoration. And if this cruel history is not wanted to be shown, then should be taken and transformed. This is the main problem with historical restoration; simply the lack of history. With our approach on the project, we chose to evolve the views of restoration into a third dimension. Breaking the walls to tie the inside and outside together for an experience that can be better articulated and manipulated for people.

CPP Lanterman: Restoration Site
The final product of the Lanterman Restoration site was a combination of methods that challenged the idea of restoration in design yet still creating a beautiful extension to the Cal Poly Pomona Campus. The approach we took was somewhat
controversial since the class instructor was on a historic restoration board, so we needed to convince not only the instructor but the jury to really challenge these ideas at their core. To provide evidence that this idea can truly benefit the area, we provided statistics to show it was economically beneficial but also showed how we unified the different spaces through spacial programing. The design expressed that even though this method was a critique on restoration design, it would create the individuality among each college through its spaces. This project was awarded an Outstanding senior design award by the Department of Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona.

Implementation Urban Voids of los angeles - ASLA
San Fernando Stormwater Mitigation Plan - EGR 499
Long Beach: Sea Level Adaptation Plan - 402
Implementation of project is usually seen as the literal placing of a project to a site but implementation can also be mental. Projects have the possibility to inspire, to teach, to question and to shape the mentality of designers. To show that people must be looking critically at the world and challenge today’s norms. 26
Urban Voids
Schoolyards
Streets
Parking Lots
This was a PPN, Professional Practice Network, for ASLA I was apart of. It was part of the Planning and Landuse area of the PPN’s and from this I was partnered with G.V. Chang who is a lead designer at the Sausalito SWA office. The project was an investigation on three types of space with underutilized or miss used spaces, or in this case Urban Voids. The investigation was on schoolyards, streets, and parking lots because of their abundance in any urban city. The theory with this project was to fix the smaller details or perceptions of a city to create a much larger impact, instead of one big event or project to try and rejuvenate the city which ends up being a failure. This whole presentation is available online on the ASLA website. 27
Pecha Kucha Presentation This is the presentation I gave to Cal Poly Pomona for a Pecha Kucha, a presentation were the presenter has 20 second each slide with 20 slides.
Street Culture This diagram was to show how the buildings of a city work like walls to a room. The people and the ecology keep cities alive.

San Fernando Stormwater Mitigation Plan The San Fernando Stormwater Mitigation Plan was a year-long Engineer Senior Capstone class that focused on building leadership. I was recommended for the class by my Department head, Andrew Wilcox, and later was accepted to the class. The team I was a part of was composed of two civil engineers, a chemist, a business major, and myself a landscape architecture major. Our project was a proposal for the city of San Fernando to place BPM’s in the city to help the pollution levels in the area and save money for the whole city in pollutant fees. The team collected to slopes of each street in the city using the HydroCalc system and analyzed how much of each pollutant there is in what specific location. The end of the year was to the proposal of two bioswales by the two major streets to catch most of the runoff. As a result, the city would have cleaned about 12 million liters of runoff a day and the $15,000 daily pollutant fee is completely eliminated for as long as these implementations are functional.

This project was a collaboration with AHBE studio to produce a plan that could mitigate the coast of Long Beach from sea level rise. This was the first phase which was the analysis of the site. Separating the analysis to Risk, Value, and Potential. We observed what the current urban realm, the invisible patterns of the ecosystem, and the reach of sea level rise for the next 100-years. I was apart of the ecology team and what we discovered was the edge condition that the shoreline is a ideal habitat for most life in Long Beach.

Habitat Connection Diagram: This diagram was an investigation on the avian, vegetative, and insect life in the Long Beach ares. The names in the circles are the names of the avian, vegetative, and insect that were sighted in the area. This graph was used as more of a collective
example of the life on the existing site, and not an inventory to find a specific bird or insect. Some connections that were found were the many bird main diets were either seeds from vegetation and beetles of all kinds. 32

This was the site worked on in my team. An area on the west side of Long Beach. This site was chosen because of it’s different levels of sea level rise in such a short amount of time and it is a combination of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. The initial plan for this site was to create a series of iterations to create a plan that would not only fit this specific site but any area of a coastal city with similar conditions.

long beach:
100-years to the future
This is a quick glimpse at the future of Long Beach with this plan. Long Beach has saved the residents by relocating them and once infrastructure was adjusted, Long Beach has evolved into a completely new city. The buildings that would be altered would be compromised from the flooded water so a bonding agent would be applied. This simple adjustment would eventually become the hubs for new growth vertically and horizontally. With the second story building not completely destroyed from the ocean, they are used as the pillars to elevate a new datum for Long Beach. The areas lifted have many possibilities to be used for farming seawater crops and fish. Areas that ocean farm are rare but becoming more popular, with an area where the ocean and life is so easily accessible, this has possibilities to be a new area for research. As this new datum is created, a new type of transportation system utilizes the previous streets through a series of tunnels. This idea was actually thought up by Elon Musk of Tesla, which I think is brilliant, so I decided to fit this system in this future resilient city. This is the scenario of the Long Beach that survived, not a Long Beach that was washed away and forgotten about.
