Archipelago baths
AUSTIN, TEXAS Public bathing has been a vital source of leisure and well-being in many cultures. Considering the evolving customs, rituals, therapeutical benefits, and activities associated with public bathing, Archipelago Baths offers various programs. This bathhouse began with an exercise of manipulating a chosen precedent tile. Through an iterative process, themes relating to light, texture, and scalar manipulation helped generate a consistent language throughout the bathhouse. Water serves to divide the space, baths anchor to perimeters, and treatment areas act as the heart of the bathhouse.
The Zaha Hadid Black Quartz tile’s single wedge element offers simplicity; tiles can create more complex connections with neighboring tiles based on orientation.
INITIAL PHASE The initial pool geometries derive from the singular wedge element of the precedent tile. Steps are offset and extruded to create an occupiable topography.

02 bryker woods elementary AUSTIN,TEXAS This kindergarten wing at Bryker Woods Elementary has been designed to create an autonomous learning experience. While employing a “part to whole” approach, learning furniture clusters begin to inform the overall main design concepts. Spaces are formed from reliance on material properties, level changes, and wall interactions. The circulation space gives opportunities for versatile programs determined by the students.
LEARNING FURNITURE With average five-year-old dimensions and interactive heights in mind, the desk underwent an iterative process. In the iteration below, the stool can be notched into the desk and used as a platform to set on top of the desk’s storage portion to create a standing desk. Changing the orientation of this iteration created interesting opportunities for the kids to occupy the space underneath. Students can interact with the desks as they see fit. With dry erase, wipeable surfaces, users can manipulate and engage with flexible furniture.

CIRCULATION
SCALE: 1’=1/4”
The ramp system provokes program use. At the highest point, it becomes a showcase space for students to display their work. At the lower points, the ramp stabilizes and operates as thresholds into the classrooms. The areas in between offer opportunities for other programs and general circulation. Users enjoy the lighting and shadows given off by the colorful glass. light cork: ramp system

03 PALANTIR PAVILION DAVOS, SWITZERLAND Every year, the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is held in Davos, Switzerland. Companies, including Palantir Technologies, use this forum to engage with current and potential customers. It has been a mission to refresh the brand while expanding their client network by promoting trilateral connections. The proposed design should consider the build, installation, and deconstruction time constraints of a temporary pavilion. This pavilion intends to engage users through the implementation of sustainable yet engaging systems. Spaces composed of seemingly simple colors and materials can transform with the application of complex lighting strategies. Lighting is a way-finding tool to guide clients and visitors through the pavilion and a technique to engage occupants and shine a light on all the good Palantir does. The intent is to create a space that leaves visitors with the knowledge that Palantir focuses on connections and security.

ROOM LEGEND
PRESENTATION ROOM The linear lights on the hallway floor gradually grow in length, ultimately enticing visitors to walk through the threshold of the presentation room. The wavy profile and lights sandwiched in between each wall panel of the presentation SECTION OF PRESENTATION ROOM space 3 draw visitors inside. These lightweight, glass fiber reinforced concrete panels allow for the curved form and easy installation during the pavilion’s short construction period. Recessed rectangular lights stretch across both sides of the room, making it appear as if the lights on the wall and ceiling are continuous. 1' - 0" 1' - 0" 1' - 0"
