Site Description :An Elementary school located on the corner of Rosemont Avenue and West Temple street in Los Angeles. The site also has a 40 ft. grade that is terraced and very dry. :Design the primary Description center of the school for the student of Rosemont Elementary, while introducing a green program that can relate with the site as well as a learning experience for the student of Rosemont .

Concept :Diffusion change of environment from a high to low concentration. I used the concept of diffusion that cam about from my external reference, the orange, which uses the stem and the idea of diffusion from the peel to the core t distribute nutrients to the every part of the orange.
e o the orange begins with a layer surrounding the seed that develops from the ovary wall of the flower and creates an attachment from the ste to the cor e the seed layer then begins to develop the thicker peel and spongy interior which absorbs and holds food and water then distributed when necessary through diffusion to the cor e after diffusion the core then distributes food and water through the hair cells attached to it onto each s e g ment or

Description : Use of a minimal surface geometry rule set as a basis for the design of architectural space. Development of topological spaces with programmatic and spatial inputs. Objectiv e : Usage of a minimal surface construction rule set as a "conceptual framework" for the design of a pavillion. Proces s : 01. To create BATWING cube begin with BATWING minimal surface tile 02. Mirror minimal surface tile along axis CD. 03. Mirror the created surface and the original sirface tile along axi CD. 04. Mirror the created surface consisti n g of 2 tiles alon

Objectiv e : Usage of a minimal surface construction rule set as a "conceptual framework" for the design of a pavillion.
Create two curves i ntersecting each o ther .
Site : The project will be sited on the footprint of the Villa NM House and will use the basic exterior edge curves of the house as a bounding box. It is suggested that you rationalize the parabolic surface edges (twisted center of the house) of your current model into straight lines so that you begin with a bounding box made up of linear edges .

Description :Design a chair that accomodates a seater person and be approximately 18 inches high. The chair is to be built fro a 48in. x 96in. sheet of unused piece of cardboard.

:Design and engineer a chair out Concept of corrogated cardboard using structur and principles to understand the the weak and strong qualities of the material. Be abl to strategically use the material in tension and compresion. Desig n : The chair is constructed so that the weight of the person is refocused and hel support themselves. Using a folding method, a few cut outs and no adhesive. I folded the material to lock with each other and reinforcing it with triangular cut outs to go i between the negative spaces to support the wei g ht vertical l y and horizontal

Description :Using origami, a process and system that interlocks within itself and create a form. While only using paper no adhesive that can hold itself together and create a functional system that needs each other to keep its form. Desig n : Using a 6 x 6 inch square of paper and folding techniques. Creating a 3 sided form that turned into a sphere. Connectin at the ends of each shape and interlocking by slots that each shape had at the sides The form was able to stay together and support each other as well as itself together with no adhesive.
