CIRCUS SQUARE PARK PAVILION
ABOUT THE PAVILION The columns are designed in three various sizes to represent the three social classes. The smallest columns on the left represent the lower class, middle columns represent the middle class, and the largest columns represent the high class. The arrangements of the columns are smaller to high class with the middle class in the between. The middle columns are designed to be in different lengths to signify the unstableness of the middle class because they always have the potential to either become poorer or wealthier, so it is considered as unstable. The bigger columns are given more room because they are viewed as always being comfortable or breathable unlike the smaller columns that are grouped together really closely and look a bit less uncomfortable than the other columns. The colors of the columns are chosen to be soothing and not exaggerated to compliment the works of Barcelo as his paintings are often made with similar color tone. The roof of the structure is bent upwards in an uplifting motion on the bigger columns side to compliment Barcelo’s work and to get a message across about the higher class are well better off for themselves and seem to always be getting wealthier whereas the lower classes are stable on the flat side of the roof structure because as a contemporary artist, the main message he wants to represent in his work is about the current issues in society. Becuase of how spacious it is, this structure is a multi-prupose pavilion. It could be used to organize a small rendezvous, wedding reception, or a picnicwith the marble tables provided. As mentioned earlier, the pavilion could become a great use for guests visiting various festivals that are held at the park.

CIRCUS SQUARE PARK PAVILION
BOWLING GREEN CIRCUS SQAURE PARK PAVILION The site is located a block from downtown Bowling Green in the Circus Square Park. The sun moves from East to West. The site I chose is the flat land on the back corner of the park. There are two ramps for ADA shown with arrows that can be accessed straight from the two parking lots shown.It is surrounded by historical buildings like La Gala and SKyPAC. The site is also surrounded by one-way road and have two parking lots. Once every year, the park hosts an event called the International Festival, so having a pavilion in the site could provide shelter for locals who attend the festival to get away from the sun or rain.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
The site is located withih 3 school districts: South Warren, Rich Pond Elementary, and Rockfield Elementary. The site is also located on Nashville Rd., which is a very high-traffic road. This means that the building has the potential to be seen by many passersby. The library provides a children’s area, adult’s section, computer access, and a coffee shop. The design concepts and philosophy for this project is: “the future of a library is too unpredictable, so the aim and concept for this project is to design ahead of the future.”
PUBLIC LIBRARY
BOWLING GREEN SOUTH SIDE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The library creates a sense of community by providing a safe space for students and locals to utilize the services provided by the library whether it would be the occasionally exhibitions, book rentals, or computer access. The building’s structure is space frame. This allows the me, as the designer, to design the building in an irregular shape. Space frame buildings are also very durable and capable of holding up heavy loads as the exterior of the building is made of concrete.

THE FLOW CONDOMINIUM
THE FLOW CONDOMINIUM
THE FLOW CONDOMINIUM The site is located in Louisville, KY. It is really close to the Kentucky YUM! Center. The site is approximately two blocks from the riverfront. The design concepts and philosophy for this project is: “We are flowing into the future of architecture.” Flow in this case is linked the movement of water un and down the river nearby and that is where I came up with the design of the shape of the building. The idea of the design was created in order to have something new, unique, and futuristic. The reason behind designing something futuristic is because the city of Louisville is filled with industrialistic architecture that fact would literally make the building stand out, and the site is located very close to the campus of University of Louisville where many college students may need a condo to buy that is luxurious enough. The building’s structure is space frame. This allows the me, as the designer, to design the building in an irregular shape. Space frame buildings are also very durable and capable of holding up heavy loads as the exterior of the building is made of concrete. Each floor of the condo has a different variety of apartment sizes. There are one bedroom apartments, two bedroom apartments, and three bedroom apartments. To the left is the 5th floor plan. This floor features 2 one bedroom apartments, 2 two bedroom apartments, and 1 three bedroom apartment. The three bedroom apartment takes an entire side of the building and wraps around the front and back of the building to give the resident the best 180 degrees view of city of Louisville.
The Green Biophilic Garden Since the location of the site was downtown Louisville, there was limited green nature around. The idea was to turn the space in the building into a nature sanctuary for the condo residents. Doing such, would give the residents the feeling of having their own backyard, their own walking trail, and their own spot to relax and enjoy nature.

CITY HALL PARK CENTER
HOME FOR THE ARTS The project is a street art and cultural center that serves as an exhibition hall to showcase local artworks made by various no name street artists. The intentions and purposes for the project are to provide a safe environment and opportunity for street artists to showcase their work. It is true that not all architectural designs have a deeper meaning to it. However, for an art gallery where the keys to the success of having beautiful art, are creativity and the opportunity to express it. By creating such platform, historic areas of the cities can be preserved and kept safe from the graffiti artists. The design and ideas for the construction of such building is developed through intensive research and the study of several similar structures. The location for the site of this building was chosen in Los Angeles, CA with flexibility to design an innovative building form. The green biophilic design implemented into the design to improve creativity and provide green sustainability. An art studio was also provided to create opportunities for those who visit the gallery to be educated about street art.
