The wall towards the staircase corridor is designed to provide natural ventialtion and passive daylighting. Considering that the corridor is fairly long, the wall with sunlight coming in creates an interesting destination while offers a view to the outside.

NIGHT VIEW
In the day time, the Downtown Economic Assistance Center uses passive daylighting to lighten most parts of the building. At night, the building turns into a positive spotlight. Through the light, it expresses itself as both the landmark of the area and the hope of its clients.

HEALTH CARE CENTER PHASE I ROATAN, HONDURAS | 2012 FALL | GROUP PROJECT Roatan is in a big need of a urgent health care center which led our group to design something which would be cheap, easy to build and also easy to expand if funds become available. The design was completed by a group of vertical studio students; including 2 fifth year students- me and Tonya Stock, and 4 third year students- Eric Dernbach, Veronika Adamova, Alex Taylor, and Sarah McDonald. My major role within the group was as a team leader. I participated in programming, schematic design, and pushed the group toward design development. I produced site plan, plan, elevation, diagrams, and partial of construction drawings for the final design sets.

We established our ground plan on a similar principle. We want to welcome patients and keep them away from stress, fear and bad feelings that usually come with medical procedures. When you first enter the building, you can see the nurse station and a beautiful view of the ocean behind it.

HEALTH CARE CENTER PHASE II ROATAN, HONDURAS | 2013 SPRING | GROUP PROJECT
The design for the east end of the island derives from an original courtyard scheme. It is further developed by 6 fifth year students - Garric Baker, Tracy Ford, Andre Pei, Kelsey Vusich, Veronika Adamova, and me. As the people of the island rely heavily on the bond with nature, the courtyard integration allow for a close connection between interior and exterior. The overall ideas follow a specific set of guidelines given by local expertise, complimented by our team’s own passive strategies and building techniques. I participate in schematic design as well as other team members. My major responsibility afterwards is to produce site plan, plan, elevations, a portion of sections, construction drawings, and diagrams.
The proposed site is located just off the main existing road on the east end of the island, within the district of Punta Gorda. The landscape designated for the eat end project caters towards a more simple building construction, due to its flat nature. Located relatively close to the northern coast of the island, the site will receive a substantial northeastern breeze across the terrain and will provide adequate ventilation.

The program is divided into separate functions and is intended to be built in three phases; medical, community, and apartments. A compact and centralized plan has been developed to allow for the facility to be run by minimal staff and supervision due to low available resources. 30

FUNCTION
Having the medical wing capable of being closed off and kept sterile from the public environment is a must, while providing a sufficient amount of insulation for the only needed conditioned spaces. The community space is the heart of the islanders lifestyle and plays a vital part in the healing process. 31

The research that was made last year stated that the structural properties for bamboo are similar to that of douglas fir, which is commonly used for stud framing in the United States. Unfortunately the downfall of bamboo is its lack of shear strength and a low modulus of elasticity. While a bamboo beam would not be possible, an open web joist would be the perfect application for such a material. Many different structural joint connections were researched last year as well and the best solution was to use fiberglass coated with a poly-resin. Fiberglass was chosen last year because it is a widely used product on the island. Many of the locals make their own fiberglass repairs to their fishing boats. With the help of College of Engineering at Kansas State University, we found that our truss was able to support 6,667 pounds. The two four foot long segments, spaced three feet apart, were subjected to joint load failure at 1,110 pounds. The conclusion after this test was that the bamboo open web joist structure is safe to be used for light loaded roof structure. 47 PROJECT BAMBOO
