DESIGN INTENT: A NEW TV PRODUCTION AND BROADCAST FACILITY FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES WITHIN ITS HISTORIC CORE. The Channel 35 Television Studio project is located in the historic El Pueblo district in downtown Los Angeles; the historic center of the city. This unique project inserts a 21st century digital media program into a series of 19th century buildings - three of the oldest buildings in Los Angeles. Channel 35 will re-inhabit the City of Los Angeles’s first theater (Merced Theater - a 1870 National Historic Registered building) with executive offices and facilities for live TV recording, production, and broadcast distribution. Also, on the ground floor there is a public live audience studio/theater for the use of the surrounding El Pueblo community. Next to the building, we create a new public entry and plaza, a small ‘Zocalo’ for communal public events, marked with landmark elevator tower. The challenges of placing a state of the art digital facility TV Station in buildings constructed in the late 1800s were many. The design strategy incorporated the necessary seismic and building codes requirements. A new structural system is inserted inside the existing historic volumes; the existing thick masonry walls (ranging from 1230 inches wide) act as container and backdrop for new 21st century interventions.

(H)EDGE HOUSE SCRAFANO ARCHITECTS + ELIZABETH GIBB Location: Lot 2 Lambert Lane, Bowser, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada The last undeveloped lot on a site cleared for development in the 1990s. Bowser is small town of 1600 people within walking distance to the beach on the eastern side of Vancouver Island Project Size: 3220 sq ft Project Year: Design: 2015-2016 Anticipated construction to begin 2018 Program: One level single family home with exible bedroom layout to accommodate the family’s needs over time. Design Intent: (H)Edge House exploits a dif cult thin pie shaped site, by subverting the expectation that architecture alone will provide the opportunities for enhancing the site conditions. Instead, the overarching conceptual idea initially engaged the realm of landscape architecture with the simple insertion of a few strategically placed hedges on the site to provide privacy, but primarily to enhance the experience of space, threshold, and view of an expansive meadow on a challenging site.

IN COLLABORATION WITH SANTIAGO TOLOSA & ROMAN CERVANTES JR Land Art Generator Initiative(LAGI) Competition Location: Santa Monica, CA Project Time: May. 2016
OVERSTIMULATION OF AWARENESS We propose to create a wall for the city of Santa Monica. A wall that reflects its current state as a city and where it can go in the future. In a sense, this wall will act like the chalk board in your school classroom. The city of Santa Monica has entered a period of dryness. As a result we have to keep a checklist of all the sustainable actions that we need to accomplish: Flyers & Ads Irrigation schedules Blue, green and black dumpsters Buy local produce or in season Ride your bike to work day ... Too many instructions with an endless list of tasks. We are constantly bombarded with this awareness to take care of the city, which as a result, it becomes an overwhelming experience and a turn-off. Yet, there is no actual element that teaches us in a space- time form. The question then becomes, can we create a wall that teaches us and disappears when it crosses the threshold of overstimulation of endless tasks? Hence, we propose an interactive wall that joins city and nature by place-making a wall that teaches us how generate energy for the city, drinkable water for the environment, and vanishes when overwhelming the pier.
THE JOURNEY
s.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The wall is designed to create maximum effect with minimal means. It functions both, as a solar thermal collector and water tank. The top being fixed with 205 Parabolic Trough sections that measure 2.4 meters (8 ft.) in length and run the entire length of the wall. The mirror arrays track the movement of the sun in a northwest to southeast axis. As the sun’s rays hit the array, the energy is concentrated above them into an absorber pipe. When the pipe, composed of oils, minerals and water, heats up at a temperature of 400°C it’s transferred to the water, producing steam that drives the turbine. The wall measures 500 meters (1,640 ft.) in length and 6 meters (20 ft.) in height. Its annual energy capacity is 750 MWh. The average American home uses 10,900 kWh annually. This single gesture is able to power approximately 68 homes or could be stored in thermal energy modules for later use. Each panel can be manufactured with off-shelf materials for $155 US dollars. Inside of the wall is a Polyolefin mesh, which harvests water from fog. This plastic mesh, a readily and inexpensive material, is able to produce 500 gallons of water for every 6 meters. Ironically, during May grey and June gloom, warm weather transition, more drinkable water can be harvested. Overall, this wall is constructed out of recycled tube steel and mirrored surface panels on plastic. Part of the break water will become flat to the east side of the wall. The land is a composition of organic elements that belong to nature and sediments that create the platform and encapsulates the power generator underground.

IDEA BEHIND THE WALL The wall is a reflection of our everyday life. It mocks us. Plays with us. Teaches us. Angers us. It’s an obstacle that once you overcome it, one discovers mysteries about life. In retrospect, the reflecting surface is the past. The construction of the city of Santa Monica. The present is wall’s core, a mediator that engenders energy and water. Beyond the wall is the future, the displacement of nature. 3
The east side of the wall is composed of mirrored surfaces that upon arrival it incites playful interaction. As one walks along the wall, one realizes that each panel becomes more and more warped, displaying a weird juxtaposition of fiction and reality on the city of Santa Monica. The harvesting of drinkable water allows nature to grow beyond the wall. Making the other side the polar opposite of human intervention and nature rawness. As time passes with the wall, so as the high ocean tide passes over the sand in the beach. The elevation placement and materiality of the wall allows it to vanish within nature. Instead of becoming a separating wall, the wall disappears2to preserve what people want to see. A horizon. 0.5m
