011 Campus Theater is designed for a high profile tech company in Silicon Valley. The theater is used as a large meeting space to broadcast announcements and hold gatherings. The space was designed and engineered for optimal acoustics and visuals. A key design element is the catwalk integration with the staggered ceiling. This is a project completed in 2013 while working at Garcia Tamjidi Architecture Design.

023 The FYA Tower was a project at ZellnerPLUS. This was a project I worked on while at the end of it’s schematic design phase. Over the summer of 2010 myself and a fellow intern and collegue worked on this museum. It was designed for the For Your Art collective. It is a museum that connected the city and the art. It sat upon the purple line of the lightrail system in Los Angeles. The program is comprised of artcades, galleries, cafes and outdoor gardens and outdoor gallery spaces. The visitor would enter either by the subway or the entryway on Wilshire Blvd.

FOR YOUR ART The museum attendees will enter through the street entrance or the light rail entrance underneath. The first floor containing the museum entrance and patrion desk. The diagram below explains the spatial layout. The rest of the museum is meant to exhibit a nature where the museum patron will miander throughout from gallery space to gallery space. Which they may find themselves also in the outdoor gallery areas or outdoor cafe’s. All of these elements work together to create the overall structural and architectural assemblage.

CLOUD SERVER

Cloud Server is an exploration of evolutionary architecture through soci-technological re-examination and imagination. Architecture is the mind/body in space; a concept brought to physicality. From the existence of beings to an action of beings, for beings, the built environment becomes physical. The physical acts on the sense of being. To clarify: “existence-action-reaction� as a self-corrective feedback loop.

Simply Put: Architecture is the mind/body in a given space. It has evolved as the existence of people, an action happening upon people and then the result is architecture as a reaction to the force acting upon people.

Progressing as: Existence
Action
Reaction
Metabolic: We operate with multimodal human senses; our interaction with the physical world is filtered through layers of knowledge and the abundant flow of information and allows sentience. We become the mind/body in space - the human individual and the society in which the human individual lives. Mind/Body in Space: Applying meaning to the mind/body in space thought helps to better understand the loop of existence-actionreaction. Explained as such: 1.We exist as a mind and body - with the associations of “person, needs, and information”. And as beings that are constantly being acted upon by outside forces. 2.We exist in space. The space is transformed due to our reaction to the forces, or actions, being acted upon us - “society, program, technology”. 3.The Loop: Explained above is the idea that we exist as a self corrective system. Where the body will react to the space and vice versa. For example: a person exists in society, needs will influence program, information informs technology. This all returns to us as a self corrective or ever evolving system to futher our existence and efficiency.

The One Wilshire Building is lo200 ft cated in downtown Los Angeles. It is an example of embodied “ether�, with all the connotations of the mind/body (as the global communications/servers) in space. Today we see One Wilshire as the densest carrier hotel of the west coast. A carrier hotel being a building that is retrofitted and dedicated to the housing of servers and internet service providers and hosts.
CLOUD SERVER Taking a look at the existing operations of the building we see the topics to adress. When zoomed in we see just how essential these machines are to our daily operations. There are major cooling and heating factors for an estimated 10,000+ machines.

Creating a ‘hot’ aisle and a ‘cold’ aisle to help channel the air flow. The key is trying to control air flow in order to get maximum cooling and heating effects from the interior operations. By relaying the interior information to the outside air flow we can efficiently inform the interior through the exterior and vice versa.

The design approach is done with the intent of layering and heat retention. We can focus on the machines and their needs as inhabitants and how they influence it’s neighbors in proximity near and far. The building itself creates it’s own ecosystem of machines and it’s own atmosphere of heat. In which we can now use the metaphor of the virtualization and cloud computation to go along with the physical embodiment.
In this we now see the achieved affect of the atmosphere. In architecture we try to achieve an effect alongside and affect. This would be the embodiment of the layered skin system along with the idea of atmosphere in form and function. We are left with this simple idea. That affect and effect will work side by side and in architecture. That technology is the effect while architecture is the affect and both become integrated.
043
Transforming the physical to atmosphere. The skin system becomes the idea of the rest of the building. Dissolving in the heat that is transmitted and steps toward virtualization and atmosphere. Above is one of the earlier iterations that seemed more physical than atmospheric in nature. But what is still represented is the layered approach to act as a heat sink.
This is trying to achieve a state where space becomes architecture and architecture becomes space. Going from physical to idea/ atmosphere and then the atmosphere and space becoming the architecture. The way in which the building exterior is approached is done by gathering all the knowledge previously collected about the building and applied the best solution to have a system that works to make the building efficient

A proposed new factory for American Apparel. The idea is a folding of trajectory. The factory becomes a narrative in the way it operates serially and sequentially. The factory has a circulation that allows the most efficiency in production and human interaction. There are five separate levels in the factory; designed in integrating all levels of production. The hierarchy becomes integrated, from conference rooms and offices to warehouse floors and gallery spaces for advertisement production. It becomes a factory as a narrative for the people who inhabit it.

HOUSING, MEET GARDEN
The housing world meets the gardening community. Bringing the garden and ideas of sustainable living into the home. This project strives to create an environment where the two worlds come together and coexist successfully. The housing units emerge from the garden and the garden over takes the units. Another perspective being the units diving into the garden from the outside community. It is a melding of two different ideas and representations. At one end we have housing at the other we have the garden.

SOLAR DECATHLON
073
SOLAR DECATHLON Students from Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI_Arc) and The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) combine their talents and expertise to participate in the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) 2011 Solar Decathlon. The solar powered house is appropriately named CH:IP, “Compact House : Infinite Possibilities”. CH:IP is an iconic and affordable home that produces as much energy as it consumes during it’s lifetime within the Los Angeles urban fabric. CH:IP will travel from California to find it’s temporary niche on The National Mall in Washington D.C. for the international competition that is the USDOE’s 2011 Solar Decathlon. Where it will compete with other schools internationally.
075
bed bath kitchen live
This diagram is used as a storyboard to help explain the formation of CH:IP. Starting as distributed program. Progressing to the raised floor or program to minimize the footprint. Once minimized footprint is achieved then the rest of the house is shifted for maximum efficiency of program and the southern roof for solar panels.
SOLAR DECATHLON I participated in the Solar Decathlon in the Fall of 2010. I worked within many aspects of the project. Including: - designing of a tension scheme for the exterior - creating the website and social networking for the team - diagrammatic animations and drawings - development of the interior - insulation strategies - working on the design document set

These are screen captures of animations created throughout the semester of Solar Decathlon. To the left are scenes from the animation that described the exterior assemblage. From the development of the frames to the application of insulation and fabric skin.
Above are clips from what is the designed website with proposed animations to explain to the public the architectural concepts behind CH:IP. They explain the initial design moves and interior program distribution.
SOLAR DECATHLON Exterior Construction Diagram
It was a semester long endeavour to create Design and construction documents of CH:IP. Sometimes happening simultaneously due to time restraints. But the mock-up allowed for so many questions to be answered given the time allotted. Us students worked hard night and day to bring the design to fruition. It was an amazing example of group collaboration and team work.
