seeplane: Seaplane terminal Making a building that adheres itself to the airplane was the design’s main purpose. The importance of fomenting the spectacle of the arrival and launch of the sea planes was achieved through the building’s circulation and urban strategy. The building’s landscape design sought to merge the public and private circulations of the building while stimulating day and night activity. An urban strategy is achieved through ramps that connect to the adjacent buildings, welcoming the community to areas of mixed use. The See.Plane terminal was an entry for the DawnTown Miami 2010 Competition. The design was in collaboration with Luisel Zayas, Juan Carlos Baez, and José Parilla.

Burial Chapel: Philo. il For this non-denominational burial Chapel the principal intent was that of the path. The process of mourning was addressed by interpreting the phases that the relatives will go through. The Burial complex complies with a natural wooded area that receives you from the parking area, and then the path leads to the ground tombs and later to the chapel where the belfry serves as the guiding symbol. From that point the user must decide whether Togo up to the sight of life, the highest point within the project or to continue the path below to the sky and provide a physical separation from the surrounding world.

Burial Chapel
tower garden: Stuttgart midrise-mixed use Earl prize nominee spring 2013 Stuttgart was once known for its stud horses and gardens, giving it its present name, which is a combination of the words stud and garden. It is situated in a valley surrounded by vineyards, providing wonderful views from various points within the city and the site. The site is located at a key junction within Stuttgart. A complex overlap can be witnessed within this suburban fabric of fast cars, travelers or visitors to the new high-speed rail station. The city is technologically advanced and environmentally conscious and we try to adopt those values while deliberating on its relationship to the past. The building takes form by growing out of a garden in its truest sense. The exterior and the garden are conceived as a continuous transformation from interior volumes into outdoor surfaces. The surface of the garden rolls down into the civic spaces as well as the exterior.

Building Performance Measures Hotel Mechanical System The heating and cooling system employed for the HVAC utilizes a four pipe system. Two pipes supply hot and cold water to the fan coil units and two pipes return hot and cold water to the heat recovery unit. This kind of system as opposed to a two pipe system allows individual users within each room to change the temperature by two to three degrees higher or lower

The energy consumption was analysed using E-Quest, an energy simulation software. The graphs demonstrate that the energy use closely follows the weather data. The numbers were also compared to similar buildings of its kind in Stuttgart. It was found that the energy use was comparable and sometimes even lower.

native cycle: native American culture center Earl prize nominee fall 2013 The ideation of this proposal for the UIUC Native American and American Indian Studies Complex came along as an exploration of the land. The Native American felt that the land gave them their power and spirit while it also brought them together as a people. In this way the building seeks to be of the earth and for the earth. The connection between the sacred upper word, middle world, and lower world is continually explored through the clockwise circulation and continual framed views of the sky above. In all, the building form and its richness of space is an ode to the curvilinear forms apparent in nature. It celebrates the Native American’s dominion of the land and all of what it entails.

Linkage to Morrow Plots:
The Cahokia were one of the first Native American people to Inhabit the Great Plains Region. They were known for having a keen understanding of the land and manipulating the experience of it as a means of promoting worship.
In terms of rebirth or growth, the spiral represents the consciousness of nature beginning from the core or center and thus expanding outwardly. This is the way of all things.
In the Native American tradition, the direction of the east is the place where Spirit enters. Once entered, the space is inhabited clockwise, for that is the sacred movement emulating the cosmos.
Native American’s mastery of the planting of corn symbolized their deeply rooted connection with the land and its spirit. There is a clear intent to revitalize the understanding of the land through native corn plantings.

Facade Module
Facade Design Corn, also known as Maize, was an important crop to the Native American Indian. Eaten at almost every meal, this was one of the Indians main foods. Native American Indians gave the Europeans corn seed and taught them how to grow corn. Native Americans of New England planted corn in household gardens and in more extensive fields adjacent to their villages. The Iroquois Legend of the Three Sisters Erney, Diana. 1996. Long live the Three Sisters. Organic Gardening. November. p. 37-40. Every child of today should know these three sisters and need them just as much as the little Iroquois boy did. For the little sister is the bean who needs the eldest sister to keep her from crawling along the ground. The second sister is the squash, who has bright yellow flowers and tends to run away across the field. The eldest sister is the corn. Her kernels can be dried and ground up to make flour for bread. When the corn beans and squash are eaten, they provide a very nutritious meal with everything a person needs to be healthy.
