"In architecture there is a part that is the result of logical reasoning and a part that is created through the senses. There is always a point where they clash. I don't think architecture can be created without that collision."
-TADAO ANDO
PIONEER CEMETERY

SPRING 2013 DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS IV: PIONEER CEMETERY | 1 SEMESTER
This project focused on the renovation of the historic Pioneer and Military Memorial Park in downtown Phoenix. Rigorous research was done on the site and the history of the pioneers of Phoenix many of whom are buried at the site. The project called for the renovation of the burials as well as the inclusion of a historical records office and exhibition space.
New Cemetery Existing Cemetery Railroad Tracks
Concept
Lineer North / South path from new cemetery to exisitng.
Create seamless public front streetscape.
View from West Madison Street
Expanded walkway will recreate the path the immigrants buried here once walked.
Sustainable planting to be used throughout the site.
View from South 13th Ave.
Burials will then be united through this path that holds everything in place.
Tombstones to include compass to indicate direction of region each immigrant migrated from.
View from South 15th Ave.
Create different levels of topography to engage users.

OF DOMESTICITY |
2 WEEKS
Before starting the multi-family housing project students were asked to design an ideal floor plan or space that could later be implemented in the design of the multi-family housing complex. The design of this floor plan was inspired and made specifically for an art collector by making the space both suitable for dining as well as an art gallery. The project seeks to weave together both a dining and an art gallery consecutively to be enjoyed. The fusion of both makes up a unique complex dining that welcomes activity and involvement within the space. The development is characterized by the interrelationship developed through the weaving of dining and art. It is through this development that the home owners can enjoy the best of both experiences without sacrificing space for a separate art gallery room. Within this hybrid space it was kept in mind that the kitchen should be hidden as to not distract the users from the overall experience of dining and art. By hiding the kitchen, the dining room helps to frame a view of the terrace to also have an indoor and outdoor relationship. Another important detail was to incorporate a radiant cooling system within the wall. This system would be used to store wine bottles which would be a re-interpretation of a grape vine. The different colors of the bottles stored along the wall would become part of the overall art gallery experience. The glass pivoting doors help to serve multiple functions, they welcome the outdoor space inside as well as bring in dynamic lighting elements throughout the year. The overall experience of the space becomes unique and suitable for up to six people to enjoy.

1120 East Apache Blvd, Az is an area that is currently going through a transitional phase. To help this site move towards a positive direction an architectural interpretation of the area was made to rejuvenate and bring life back to this outcasted part of tempe. The project seeks to bring life back to the site by designing a multifamily housing geared towards the specific needs of college students. The fusion of both modular units with an emphasis on openness helps to allow the design become a part of the site. The design is characterized by the interrelationship developed through the massing diagrams and how to achieve an open welcoming design for everyone to experience.

SPRING 2014 ARCHITECTURE STUDIO II: GRAFTING
MATTERS | 2 WEEKS
Before beginning the adaptive re-use project in the Bario Libre of Tucson Arizona we started the grafting matters assignment by thinking about different words like juxtaposition, insertion, and weaving. These words would later influence ones decision within the adaptive re-use approach. With this in mind we selected an object which had to be of natural occurring materials, I chose the pan flute and wanted to take the approach of turning a hex atonic into a heptatonic design and becoming modern western scale by completing the modern addition of the flute.

MASSING
To help this site move towards a positive direction an architectural interpretation of the area was made to rejuvenate and bring life back to this historical site. The project seeks to bring life back to the site by designing a youth center geared towards the specific needs of the teenagers in Tucson. The fusion of openness as well as a central corridor linking both old and new buildings helps to allow the design become a part of the site.

By using a rectilinear form it will help to maximize the use of both North and South light for the building.
This studio focused on fire stations and how to design according to a facility that would be in operation 24 hours. This was the first studio that the professor wanted collaborative work done with the students and so groups were formed that consisted of 2 to 3 people. I was grouped with one other person. The site was located in south phoenix and after much research it was found that the area was in need of a landmark, something the community can look up to and have an appreciation for. We focused our design according to that approach but also kept in mind that this facility needed to be as efficient as possible being fire fighters are not only responding to fires but EMS calls as well and each second could be the difference between saving a life.

For the west shading device we incorporated a perforated screen shading system which will block the sun but still allow a view towards the community and public areas.

The south also uses the same system as the west however we also played with the idea of adapting an enclosure that would shade all the windows of the dorms located on the south yet allow breezes to pass through giving those spaces natural ventilation.

FALL 2016 ADVANCED ARCHITECTURE STUDIO I: FACADE
1 SEMSTER
During the fall semester of the first year of the Masters of Architecture program I was challenged with an adaptive re-use project and how to properly design an envelope that would not only adapt to meet each residents needs but also be able to provide relief from the harsh desert sun as well as create opportunities for framing views towards different landmarks in the valley. Camelback Mountain, Piestewa Peak, and Downtown Phoenix Skyline were just a few of these key landmarks that were closley examined while designing the facade for 1 East Camelback BMO Harris bank which was being renovated into private residences.
