URBAN ESCAPE finding respite in San Francisco, CA
ACADEMIC SPRING 2016 REVIT | RHINOCEROS | ILLUSTRATOR | PHOTOSHOP
For this thesis project the stressful conditions of the city are observed. San Francisco, the fourth most stressful city in America, would be the location of a new public library that provides moments of respite for the over-stressed urbanite. Design principles address the main factors of stress: the feeling of chaos, lack of control, and deficient access to nature.

The project draws the user from the urban realm and leads them on a path through the building to encounter places to pause, socialize, read, and work, escaping from external mental pressures. The facade system incorporates climbing vegetation to surround the user with the healing effects of nature.

The user experiences the project through a ramp that circulates the entire building. The most public and active programming is located closer to ground level, and quieter, more introspective spaces are at the top. Stressrelieving principles are explored though programming, spatial layout, material selection, views, and environmental qualities. SURROUNDING CONTEXT

SECTION CUT ALONG RAMP 8
The ramp wraps an exterior courtyard that connects the two ends of the path. The main entry utilizes the ramp overhead, vegetation, and rain chains that extend from the fourth level to the first floor entry to aid in overcoming the noise of the street. Users are greeted with a bright and lively atmosphere in the first floor lobby.

The second level encourages social engagement and offers a space for creative classes such as yoga to release endorphins. Stationary bikes on the third floor is another method to release endorphins within the facility. Along the path are places to disengage from circulation with seating and views to nature.

The path terminates at the reading room, a contemplative space under a translucent roof that connects the interior to exterior. A covered courtyard incorporates a water wall and cascading vines to cultivate a calming introspective experience. Upon reaching the green roof, the rain chain’s system is realized, referencing the beginning of the path.

MEDIA CENTER an adapter in Bryan, TX
ACADEMIC IN COLLABORATION WITH CHLOE BENNETT FALL 2012 REVIT | ILLUSTRATOR | PHOTOSHOP
Media words and their connections to each other are illustrated in the image on the left to inform the building’s organization and programming. Programmatic, social, historical and demographic properties of the site are analyzed. The project is grounded by an 11 degree diagonal bar facing the major downtown gateway to Bryan. The northeastern glass volume contains classrooms and offices while the southwestern volume has computer labs, exhibition, and performance space.
MEDIA CONNECTIONS One or both are dependent on the other to occur. One is a type of the other or of the same type. One is a measurement of the other.
SITE ANALYSIS DIAGRAMS
One is the production of the other. One is a component of the other.

screen roof
The detail section is taken at the exterior stair leading to the media room. The stair slips between the exterior mesh facade system and the glass envelope. The screen substructure is strategically placed to leave an unencumbered path. The project concept is reflected in section as the auditorium and skylight cut a diagonal form through the rectilinear block. The materiality of the diagonal bar serves as an extension of the city’s historical context. The intersections of the diagonal bar with the glass volumes is articulated in glass to signify the insertion of adaptable program.

A building programmed for changing media must have the ability to adapt with changing technologies. The diagonal form is designed to receive the media volumes as their specific programs change. The brick diagonal bar remains dominant in plan and section, and is reflected in the building’s structure and system grids.

ACADEMIC SPRING 2011 REVIT | ILLUSTRATOR | PHOTOSHOP
The left-most diagram illustrates the geometry of dwellings from the Late Paleo Indian period as early as 1630 BC to a modern dwelling project by Fujimoto reinterpreting the primitive. A precedent study of Alvaro Siza’s Leca Pools initiates a transitive verb study of three words in various materials. A parti diagram of the project concept is shown on the right.

VIEW ON THE SITE / PARTI
INDUSTRIAL PLANT 26
The existing recreational site is curiously located next to an industrial plant. The area of focus on the site is the existing RV and camping area of the park called the “primitive.� The proposed program yields recreation pools and its relative service functions. Spa pods are designed to lift the user from the toxic environment and immerse them in nature.

The lines between the natural landscape and the built environment become blurred. The east side has a secluded olympic-sized pool and the west side is for public outdoor recreation. The spa pods return the users to a the ‘primitive’ in a secluded and natural environment away from the toxic site the industrial plant created. 29

ACADEMIC A STUDIO COLLABORATION SUMMER 2014 DESIGN-BUILD | ILLUSTRATOR | PHOTOSHOP
SITE DESIGN
Most of the wood seen in these images are deconstructed recycled shipping pallets made available to our studio. The fabric and acrylic were donated, and the masonry stones existed on the site. I was involved with another student in the design of the three fabric panels on ‘the module’ shown, which slide and pivot to allow entry. I also partnered with another student on the construction of the pallet bench shown.

The studio worked together on the overall vision for the triangular site but divided into smaller teams to accomplish various components of the design. In our smaller team of three, we designed and constructed ‘the lantern’ at the culmination point of three of the five points of Five Points Alley. LED strip lighting projected the colors of acryllic ornaments that hung in the center of the fixture onto translucent fabric.

THE LANTERN
36
The same team and I were involved in the conception and construction of the ‘brow,’ which was a landscape element designed to retain earth, provide seating, and create a flat multi-use space for the sloped site. We constructed a fiber-reinforced concrete slab with recessed lighting built into the form work. We glued the slab over a wooden retaining wall that was later faced with acid-treated steel plates.
