Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer patients typically suffered with memory, memory being one of the most severe impairments of the disease, thinking, and behavioral issues, because of the deterioration in cognitive function. Elevating the emotional state of a resident through interaction. Due to the cognitive decline, people with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to deal or manage with the built environment decrease overtime. Architecture can help place the patient in a state of mind that would make symptoms less severe and even slow down the progression of the disease. Dementiafriendly driven facilities can help and optimize a patient state of mind.

Site Details The site is a hypothetical one that is underdevelopedTXETNOC and located at 5141 Lone Pine Canyon road, just east of Wrightwood. The rationale for the site selection is based the principle that views to nature provide a IMPLYon MOUNTAIN fundamental therapeutic value, a semi-remote site can optimize the potential, yet the facility is in close proximity to a population center with emergency services.

Anchoring Centralized program spaces can act as anchor points.

Evoking interaction through movement.

Anchor points will provide moments of captivation and fascination. Interaction through a space.

Physical Activity will provide a slower decline and make impairments less severe.

Allowing residents to make a connection with a space will act as a visual cue to provide an alert sense of orientation and interaction.

Physical Activity studies suggest direct benefit to brain cells by increasing blood and oxygen flow to the brain. Activities will also help patients deal with anxiety and depression.

Adaptive Re-use of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abandoned Big-Box Stores for Church Big-box stores promise convenience and jobs for suburbs and small towns, but have a mixed reputation with designers and citizens. Later, when their super-sized occupants leave: a giant empty structure is leftin their wake, which can be difficult to reuse unless a similar retailer takes its place. Over the past few decades, one such institution seeking to take advantage of the qualities of these mega-structures has been the protestant church. Project is an adaptive re-use of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abandoned big-box stores for church. Design strategies include the adaption of the abondoned typology towards humanized space intended for worship, community nurture, and outreach. Design research will also informed towards design strategies.

Top 3 Spaces

Light Simulation Boxes Time The beauty of light during an entire day. Goal is for light and time to be one and the same. Spaces are not to have “privileged moments”, instead experiences allday.

Space Goal is to experiment with the loss and recovery of light in darkness. People can also have the opportunity to improvise, creating a sense of discovery.

Filter Goal is for glass to take the role of a veil rather than to reveal. We are to make glass divert and delay light rays, creating glowing and delay light rays.

Mass Goal is to balance light in a space and to manipulate material so light can reproduce different effects. Creating multiple glows and intensities.

DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY Reuniting Broken Community

The Villegas STEAM Academy is about serving and bringing the Casa Blanca community together. It has been fifty-one years since the last school in Riversideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casa Blanca neighborhood closed. Since then, the kids of Casa Blanca have been sent to schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; miles outside the city. The school programmatic orginization will provide a sense of community. The school

will not only unite the community it will also be a connecting point between the Villegas Park on the Northeast and the newly constructed Sgt. Salvador J. Jara Casa Blanca Library on the Northwest of the school site.

The environmental mission of the project is to reduce the carbon footprint and to begin to restore the local environment. Through smart design, PV energy, reuse of greywater, passive strategies, and carbon absorption, the building will be able to sustian itself.

SHAKESPEARE THEATRE FESTIVAL Location :

Riverside, CA - CBU Campus

Type

Outdoor Theatre - Group Project

Instructor :

Professor Duemer

Date

Spring 2018

The Shakesperean festival is a summer event that gathers the community and students which offers an experience every year. Currently, this program is missing a home, our design provides a flexible home that will accommodate the theatre and create opportunities for other events. Our proposal is the resolution to reactivating a space that promotes flexibility and an experience for students and faculty. The phenomenal experience of this theater becomes noticeable as soon as the user(s) pass through the arched way into the begining of the theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey.

Phenomenal Experience Phenomenal Experience The phenomenal experience of this theater becomes noticeable as soon as the user(s) pass through the arched way into the begining of the theater's journey. The tunnel/trellis path gives people a natural daylight show in which they experience the openess of the outside into a space that becomes narrow as you advance and it re-opens when the journey is completed, revealing the theater and its merging density with that of the earth.

San Antonio, Texas Thesis Project Dr.Niermann Spring 2020

Formulating aesthetic principles for the design of an urban soccer stadium

This thesis explores the necessary conditions for the successful design of an urban-embedded stadium. Specifically, this thesis studies the way that aesthetic design principles (order), urban contextualization (fit), and human scaled design (place) are differentiated, ultimately proposing a set of design principles for the design of an urbanembedded soccer stadium. Finally, this thesis seeks to apply these identified design principles to the design of a new MLS soccer stadium located in downtown San Antonio, TX.
