Good design caters to the aesthetics, but great design caters to all the senses. While architecture is not only great, but it also embodies the ideals of memory, mind, dreams, and goals. It is a timeless piece of art that can be experienced in infinite ways. Coming from a diverse background of various cultural experiences, I have come to believe that architecture shapes identity. We see the world not by the architecture, but the world according to the architecture. There is a power of externalized order that connects memory to the design; where the relationship of the mental self and physical self are forever bound. The challenge as a designer is the ability to be sensitive to the cultures of the world, the continuation to not build selfishly, but to build for the community.

The project focuses on the future conditions of Waikiki, Honolulu. By the year 2050 there will be a 3-foot sealevel rise and the majority of the beach fronts will be underwater. The Ala Wai Canal would be overflowing with seawater - flooding Ala Wai Boulevard. As a result, many hotels will be touching the ocean leaving the original ground floor flooded and damaged. There will be a need for a new system of public transportation because of the difficulty of personal vehicles getting into Waikiki. A proposed route for the rail by 2050 would be through the main Waikiki strip.

Thomas Square is located in a growing cultural and art based community. With the Honolulu Museum of Art, The Honolulu Academy of Arts, and Neal S. Blaisdell Centre surrounding it is a place for teenagers, children, residents, and local businesses to enjoy. However, it has become rundown, inactive, and the local residents tend to avoid the park. This proposed design is to revitalize Thomas Square. Beginning with the analysis of historical traditions and global culture of the original history. Thomas Square has a long history with the Hawaiian Monarchy and the British, where Admiral Richard Darton Thomas gave back the Hawaii land to King Kamehameha II, the park became a sacred representation of the restoration of land. Because of its history, the plan view of the park is a close representation of the British flag. And the fountain became the symbol of social gathering - the premise of the project concept. Adding an interactive fountain and pavilion will allow people to feel welcomed and comfortable in the space rather than neglecting the park.

A group project that incorporated digital form with the built environment. The goal was to create an oasis within the inflatable so people could interact inside and out with just enough translucency to feel safe and enjoy the spaces.
