Runway // Thesis

The runway on Alameda Point works as a filtration machine using bioremediation and rearranging land to create a levee to protect the site from sea level rise. The Environmental Interpretive Center and Research Facility will illustrate the process of cleaning and restoring soil, water, and habitat over the next fifty years. Sectional experiences of the site consist of a series of moments that reveal the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over, under, and adjacent conditions amongst the changing landscape.

Rhythm // Vector Field Interaction

What if there are multiple nodes in a project site that can activate and encourage more intensified interactions? What if the nodes make it easy for bicylists to dismount their bikes and engage in an event? This investigation, expands and explores the existing conditions of how people change status from being a pedestrian to being a bicyclist. The conceptual proposal addresses the green areas around the site, and the bicycle, and jogging routes in Embarcadero.

Shifting Environment // Shifting Dunes

The edge is not a defined line; it is not static either. It grows and changes as rapidly as nature itself. Dunes that grow out of the sea have a specific sequence and pattern, unique to a particular site and its orientation. In other words, these environments are dynamic; sometimes they are visible and sometimes they are hidden between the evolving plant varieties spreading rapidly by the runners and interacting with the environment. The nature that grows in the dunes eventually creates the city.

Grotto // Film Archive & Outdoor Theater

The assigned site is located at Kenmore Square, an extremely visible and heavily trafficked area situated at a 6-point intersection on the edge of Boston Proper and the Fenway. Moreover, the site serves as a transportation node with a subway station underground. Thinking about the flow and movement and how the existing site has no focal point, the main intention is to use a continuous surface to create interior and exte-

required programs and the specification for the square footage, I cut rectangular pieces of foam core and cut them into strips with different widths. Then, by folding them along the site, I created many cave-like spaces that are connected to each other by the continuity of the strips. For instance, some of the narrower strips become stairs or ramps that are between the wider strips (the cave-like spaces).

Craft // Personal Work

As a designer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been inspired and intrigued to learn about other disciplines such as product, fashion, and industrial design. I see architecture as a much broader spectrum which allows you to think far beyond only designing a building. This chapter consists of a series of personal enrichment works that allowed me to explore different disciplines within art and design through hand drafting, and experimenting with different materials for making models.
