The Quadrangle Rehabilitation project was a group collaboration in the renovation of an existing student housing property. In keeping the existing facade and basic interior structure, this was an exercise in creating a multi-family atmosphere in a once single family dwelling. The scheme focused on creating sectional interest with multi-story units in the existing 3-story structure.

The section of the Quadrangle Rehabilitation project details the inclusion of a new frame-construction facade after the removal of a deteriorated masonry bearing facade. The new western wall faces a small alley-way and park and is clad in a perforated screen to protect the privacy of residents inside and within newly designed balcony structures.

EROSIVE LANDSCAPES

This mylar collage was the conceptual beginnings to understanding the phoenix landscape. It combined the richness in texture and color of the rocky geography of the site as an interpretation of the peak and valley desert landscape. The project ultimately culminated in the selection of a dry river bed as the proposed site - manifested as in the layered void in the collage.

The conceptual massing of the building within the dry river bed in the desert landscape takes form from the necessity to reach up towards the sky in want of moisture. The building was to act as a natural laboratory and perform in the collection of water through both natural downpour and created condensation through an umbrella shaped double skin.

PERFORMATIVE RECLAMATION

The final project for the Master’s of Urban Design was the rehabilitation of an island site in Tokyo Bay. To understand the magnitude of the project scale, the bay as a whole needed to be understood in terms of ebb and flow of tides to be able to create a system of water treatment and cleansing to restore the ecosystems of the site and of the bay at large.

The proposal of an “eco-island� within a bay that consisted of 35% reclaimed land was at first an outlandish proposal convincing the jury that land has equal value as both built form and natural landscape was a difficult task - yet the city of Tokyo yearns for large scale natural interventions: the percentage of open park land in Tokyo per resident is 0.08m2.

The master plan of the reclaimed ecological island worked in a duality of forms within a super-structure of canal maneuvered neighborhoods. In one half of the island there existed organic, bio-mimicry buildings in a harsh angular landscape, while the other half emphasized a brutalist built form in a sculpted, free flowing, agrarian and wetland landscape.

This is the conceptual model for current Architecture Degree Project pursuits. It is a photo montage of a patterned landscape, delving into the understanding of the complexity of patterns within the built fabric of St. Louis, with a focus on the intersection of the old city grid (Lafayette Square neighborhood) and contemporary public housing (Clinton Peabody neighborhood).

The Modular Living project was an experiment in micro-unit housing within the dimensions of two-to-three re-purposed and modified shipping containers. The units aggregated themselves on site with a terraced geometry which lent them also to the exploration of a roof garden community. There was a heavy focus on the re-use of materials to better the liveliness of the site.

THE LIVING BAY: A NEW AQUATIC NEIGHBORHOOD

This urban design project tackled this issues of sea-level rise and the constraints of limited build-able space in San Fransisco. The transition of the existing coastline back to natural wetland forms allowed for the projection of a new pier organized infrastructure into the bay waters, creating an identity for the site and an original aquatic neighborhood.
