KNIGHT SCIENCE COMPLEX This building acts as a gateway to the university as it stitches the campus together and shelters pedestrians from the main street. The arc of the millrace creek and the building form an outside room where students can relax and meet with friends in one of the campus’ most greenest areas

GLENEDEN BEACH WATCHTOWER Along the Pacific Ocean tsunami levels can reach up to 80 feet high in their most deadliest tragedies. In the event of a tsunami visitors on the beach have 15 minutes to get to safety before it is too late. Because traffic jams and disorientation will inevitably happen, the Watch Tower is designed to provide immediate refuge for people to ensure prompt safety.

MASS PLYWOOD TINY HOME In this project the goal was to unite the basic needs of a home in a smaller space around the warmth of fire. The kitchen, the living space, and the bedroom spiral around the centralized wooden stove. The fireproof column that encases the wooden stove has two openings at different heights; on the living room side it sits at fireplace height and around the corner in the kitchen it opens up at counter level to aid in cooking.

TOWN HALL TRUSS A small park called Riverside in the city of Claremont has been awarded outdoor program funding. The city has requested a meeting hall establishment in which the public can come together and organize local sports teams for the youth. The emphasis on outdoors guided the design of the meeting hall as exposed trusses were built with the same trees that are found in Riverside park. People of all ages are welcome to voice their opinion, bring their children, and come hang out. STRUCTURES

HEXAGRID PAVILION A proposal for the Tallwood Design Institute Exhibit evolved into the Tyrannosaurus Rex, a triangular timber grid with stretched waterproof fabric. Six tapered tree-like columns elevate the pavilion at a slight angle. The result was a play of light filtration through multicolored fabrics and the open triangulation of the roof.

MEMBERS
Every member of the pavilion was designed to be routed through a CNC machine so that it can be prefabricated off the site for easy assembly. Members are designed to both fit the CNC as well as into a truck to be transferred to the site. 3 ” t h i c k LV L

GRASSHOPPER
DESIGNED
The model was fully built in Grasshopper through Rhino and then analyzed using Karamba, a Grasshopper plugin which performs structural analysis. Making the entire structure in Grasshopper allowed for the structure to be fully parametric, quickly allowing for changes to be made and instant structural results.
