DESCRIPTION
- P-51D MUSTANG FIGHTER PLANE
The model design had to meet a single requirement, create an interior or exterior space that you personally find compelling. Prior to construction I explored the basic and theoretical concepts of what a space is and how it can be defined. I chose to further explore the collision of simple geometries, emphasizing conditional design, to generate a structure that incorporates the basic ideas of design VOIDS, RHYTHM, and HIERARCHY within its spaces.

DESIGN PARAMETERS ORIGINAL SHAPE Before we began the design process we met with the ThriveLA team and were given a few parameters to work within, starting with the shape of the structure.
SUSTAINABLE
The design should emphasize sustainable systems, behaviors, and long term planning.
WATER EFFICIENT
Though the structure would be placed in the desert the team sought to make an “oasis” by using modern water recycling, harvesting, and generating techniques.
TRANSPORTABLE
The team wanted to make a structure that could be classified as temporary, meaning it must be easy to ship, construct, and take down.
DESIGN PROCESS DIAGRAMS COMMUNITY V. ISOLATION The structure would contain 6 living units in order to keep the structure classified as a single family unit. Our goal was to provide communal gathering and living spaces while also having private living quarters.

PROFESSOR JOSEPH SARAFIAN SCHOOL
Orange Coast College was previously the Santa Ana Army Air Base and airfield. The architecture on campus has been influenced by this history, you must now continue the celebration of this history by designing a museum which will go on campus. Approach the design as if you were telling a story about the history of the site.

DESCRIPTION WASP Cadets At Graduation 1944
WASP Badge
The Santa Ana Army Air Base was constructed during World War II and used as a training and holding base until it was decommissioned in 1946. During its short existence the base trained and graduated over 70,000 cadets. These cadets were engaged in specialty training for air crew members, within the graduated class was the first ever American female fighter pilots nicknamed the WASP (Woman Air Force Service Pilots). I felt the story of the women pilots was one that should be celebrated and memorialized with a structure that captures the essence of these women and the journey they took. My primary focus was to tell their story through the galleries form while allowing the interior space to become defined by the current students at Orange Coast College. The sites function in the past, and still, has been to educate students, prepare them for the next steps of their lives, and send them off to do bigger better things. My design was entirely centered around celebrating the journey of these students, present, past, and future.

Research a given animal and study its physiology. Take an in depth look at its system for thermo-regulation and any unique traits that assist in its survival. Using this research develop a skin system that you will attach to a public library, of your own design, in Joshua Tree, California. Approach the library design in an abstract way (What can a library become/ How can it adapt to modern technology).

DESCRIPTION
DARKLING (NAMIB) BEETLE
The Namib beetle lives in one of the most arid climates in the world, despite this it has adapted to become an extremely efficient water collector. The specific species of beetle I will be focusing on (Onymacris) has a unique Elytra that differentiates it from the other 300+ species of beetle found in the Namib desert. The Elytra (”shell”) of this particular beetle has a mix of hydrophobic (repels water) grooves and hydrophilic (attracts water) bumps that allow it to harvest condensation and convert it to water droplets which then channels to its mouth. This process is called “fog basking” (left image) and is the beetles primary form of thermo-regulation.
GENUS:
ONYMACRIS
LOCATED: NAMIB DESERT, SOUTHWESTERN AFRICA
FOG BASKING DIAGRAM
THE SHELL
VAPOR
The “shell” of the Namib beetle acts as an insulator, water catchment system, and as a highly functional exoskeleton; the goal for this project was to incorporate all of those features into a exterior skin system. VAPOR CONDENSES INTO DROPLET
DROPLETS CONDENSE INTO CONTINUOUS WATER FLOW
LOWER PORTION OF ELYTRON BECOMES HYDROPHOBIC FOR EFFICIENT WATER CAPTURE
WATER CHANNELED TO MOUTH
While fog basking the beetle arches its body and lowers its head to the ground to create a larger surface area for water vapor to catch onto. The shape it takes on is highly effective as an aerodynamic and structural feature while also being a generative water catchment system and large shade structure. Incorporating these as architectural elements would help lead to effective and striking design given the proposed site. Joshua Tree is a high desert that experiences extreme temperature change almost daily while also being prone to high winds and long periods of drought. My design for the skin system was centered around providing sun protection, while still being able to capture sun light when needed, and to create a water catchment system capable of turning the library into an “oasis” within the desert using the Namib beetle as inspiration.
