SALINIUM

383 bleecker st, west village, new york city | fall 2018

The brand name “Salinium” is based on the story of Icarus and incorporates elements typical of the ocean - foam, salt, and water. Products of the brand include a foam wash, bath salt, and salt scrub. The store itself consists of a series of blackened steel slats infilled with walnut wood, undulating above to create the effect of a cave or a wave. These portions begin to protrude from the wall to create places for product display (which are lit by salt backdrops). Throughout the store is tape lighting that follows the contours of the wall undulations. Warm, dim lighting throughout the body of the store contrasts with cooler, intense light at the back of the store, where a cast-salt wall and sensorial display sit. The project aims to allow for sensorial experiences at a central salt tub (featuring the brand’s salt product) and two sinks for foam wash and salt scrub testing.

SOCIAL HOUSING ciudad miguel aleman, mexico | spring 2016

Ciudad Miguel Aleman is a town of Mexico which sits across the US border from Roma, Texas. As the city is expected to grow with the development of new jobs, social housing aims to accommodate families that would potentially take up residence within the city. The individual family unit focuses on the idea of wrapping where specific program is continuous along one edge, allowing family gathering to take place in the pocket which remains - the adjacent facade becoming a curtain wall. Openings for the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom wrap the corners like its associated program. The conglomeration of units allows patio and outdoor spaces of individual units to face each other - to encourage interaction between residents while complexes bridge over and across one another to allow for inter-unit connectivity amidst the density of the housing project.

ONION CREEK CINEMA + DRIVE-IN de valle, texas | spring 2017

The Onion Creek Cinema aims toward the idea of objects within a landscape. These objects form from planes that cut and fold up from the ground to house program. This program includes that of cinema and a drive-in experience while also incorporating dining, performance and exhibition spaces. Structurally, the buildings within the landscape incorporate a rigid steel frame system to resist vertical loading (which includes a green roof system). Laterally, the buildings aim to resist loads through a system of shear walls and cores. This exploration of structure focuses on the main building of the site in particular, which sits the farthest to the north and closest to the main access road. Concrete and steel constitute the structural materials of the project. The former is utilized in the foundation and shear wall systems, as well as in floor slabs. The latter is utilized for the primary framing system and also serves to reinforce concrete.

SOCO BRANCH LIBRARY

south congress avenue - austin, tx | fall 2015

South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas acts as an axis that runs through the city, incorporating retail and residential areas that stem off of it on either side. The South Congress Branch Library aims to act as a community within a community, subtly inviting pedestrians from the street front and funneling them into the library complex. The library incorporates a children's interactive area as a secondary program, encouraging a place for the young on a street that previously focused its attention toward adults. The Branch Library also includes an auditorium, assorted stacks, a roof lounge, meeting rooms, and nook spaces on the ground floor - this alluding to the idea of a canyon below that extends upward and between conditioned areas.

PANTIN ARTICULÉ paris, france | fall 2017

Through the project, the city is theorized as becoming more and more like an instant city, where there are more temporary events - thus, the project works on scales of time. The project attempts continuity of Park de la Villette in Paris, France. The northern part of the site is densified, creating a vast open park landscaped with structures that allows different programs with different scales of times (10 hours/5days/a month/6 months/a year/10 years). Within the project there is fragment of leisure/ culture and working spread every where which activates the void in between them. The project, then, incorporates the ideas of a field condition, a stepping slab, and the tower. At the ground, temporary structures are implemented for culture/leisure activity. The podium then incorporates working program while the tower begins to host living units. Project in collaboration with: Kaylen Parker and Danielle Ndubisi of UT Austin; Roland Fontaine, Laure Mouly, and Côme Rolin of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de ParisBelleville.

EUROPEAN TRAVEL STUDIES fall 2017

Produced throughout the duration of the European Study Abroad program at the University of Texas School of Architecture, these sketches speak toward the experience of the city, of the idea of place, and the abstractions of art, time, and emotion influenced by spacial qualities. Each sketch alludes to a moment of pause within an urban fabric, exhibition, or a work of architecture. The development of these sketches allowed for critical thinking and a connection between the intuitive mind and how the world influences it within an individual. These line-work drawings are testaments to an evolving ideology over the course of a five week period.
