MURALS & MALTS Because East Austin, Texas is richly artistic, Murals and Malts stands as a beacon for cultivating admirers of malts and local art. The site is framed by public transportation rails that run diagonally on one side. From the train tracks, the design approach formed. Murals & Malts is positioned like a train station with condos like train cars running perpendicular to the station and “switchbacks” as connectivity between condo rows. Within the intersection between the condos and Murals & Malts building, a bar, large sculpture, and interior terraces activate the space. Interior terraces unite the condo lounge with the interior of the brewery for people-watching opportunities of both the art gallery and brewing process. Either end of Murals & Malts is capped with a large looking-glass into the program: The southern face has the art gallery capped with a large painted mural while the northern face showcases the brewery equipment stacked vertically as a brewery “mural.” Likewise, each condo row is capped with a painted mural for providing unique wayfinding and character.

PLAYHAUS In today’s society, the world is plagued by concrete jungles; purging away the color green in its most natural form. This trend has become one of increasing density. Farms turn into subdivisions, playgrounds into skyscrapers, and subsequently nature itself into monotonous grey cities. Focused on bringing nature back at the forefront of Los Angeles, California, Playhaus prioritizes shared, outdoor amenities over privatized, indoor square-footages. Distinct programs are reconsidered into cross-pollinating spaces to densify required programs in favor of sprawling nature. Playhaus redefines relative space as one of increasing playfulness through curvilinear forms and spontaneous spacial relationships all while maintaining density for an everdeveloping city. Playhaus is a new work / life balance housing model for families that considers two parties with contradictory programming needs: working adults and playing/learning kids.

EDUCATORIUM Located on the Texas A&M Campus, the Educatorium is expected to turn over 2,000 students every 30 min. With a program that includes 2 auditoriums and 16 classrooms circulation became a main priority. Internally, the building is comprised of a symmetrically terraced interior that offers a relationship between every floor as well as easy way-finding towards a central circulatory substructure. Externally, the building is comprised of a juxtaposed, asymmetrical staircase that provides circulation with access on every level and panoramic gathering spaces. Advancing the site, context, and surrounding conditions a thorough analysis was conducted. As a result, the site was reconfigured to distinguish pedestrian and vehicular circulation and maintain the integrity of the projects linear elements. The educatorium design utilizes the asymmetrical wrapping staircase as an informal shading structure, allowing the lower half of the building to feel light while the upper half of the building uses vertical fins to feel dense and shade the interior to reduce the overall R-value. As an integrated studio, structure and systems are explored.

LAMENTATION SEPULCHER As a sepulcher—”a monument in which a dead person is laid or buried”—for Martha Graham’s dance “Lamentation,” this sculptural seat encapsulates poses beneath the veil. The seat uses the veil to symbolize hiding from grief juxtaposed by bodily strain that agony elicits. Postures are deliberately arrayed in the composition to archive the wide range of physical expressions and to avoid interference with the dancer. While the hands and feet remain, relating to humanity, the poses are stripped of their identity with the removal of faces to offer introspection for the viewer. The hollowness of the seat represents the material of a veil as well as a soul’s emptiness during lamenting. Color, as iridescent, romanticizes a connection between two colors: black symbolizing grief and purple relating to the dancer’s veil. Drawing from the typology of the dance, the sculptural bench seeks to provide a personal connection with viewers. As a fast-paced exercise, The Lamentation Sepulcher was conceived and completed in a two-week timespan.

INFORMAL STUDIO Contrary to the historical hierarchy of ballet, this ballet studio provides accessibility for all. Rooted in the Austin, Texas community, the studio incorporates a park for gathering. Heavily fortified with local stone, the ballet studio creates a barrier between the noisy road and the serene park. The park delivers a dialogue between the formal performers and the informal community. A large porch links the studio and the park; the porch arranges views into the theater and studios for spectating. Movable seats are supplied as an invitation to stay and rearrange gathering around dances taking place. Guided by candid moments and encounters, visitors are invited by a walking trail that pierces through the building. The trail wraps around the park’s perimeter in a horseshoe layout to direct views inwards towards the studio. With varying proximity to the studio, the trail has benches for a diverse range of engagement. For the dancer’s development, the theater and studios are elevated like a stage, and the patio, park, and trail supply a constant audience.

PROFESSIONAL WORK Re:Build is a competition project that seeks to envision a medical clinic of the future. The Re:Build project is a full-service surgical facility that provides patients the option to rebuild their bodies, lives and well-being. The center incorporates technology such as robotics, 3d-printing software, body scanning and augmented reality that are partnered with one-stop surgical and rehabilitation services. My Responsibilities: • Fully in charge of the rendering process. The task was unusual as there was a minimal software model. Instead, I was given a library of inspirational imagery to compile for each render. 2D imagery was applied through the use of Photoshop and Illustrator to represent a 3D space as a collage.

Art & Photography Art: Art is a driving force for architectural inspiration, but it is also a multifaceted expression I have explored beyond architecture. Art influences the way I see the world; I particularly enjoy documenting my travels with a sketchpad or canvas in hand. With this passion, I enjoy the investigation of numerous types of mediums.
Art | Fall 2017-Current | Oil Paint, Water Color, Colored Pencils, Pastels, Ink Pens, Markers, Graphite Pencils
Photography: Similar to art, photography influences my architectural aspirations. Photography allows me to study the built environment and nature through a creative lens. The discipline of framing shots with specific proportions, angles, and lighting encourages the way I design spaces and visually render architectural projects.
