Site strategies were noted to seek which features would appropriately display the facade towards the outside community and represent its title based off the surroundings. From this project, the public area and private spaces for individual learning becomes a difference as the building represents a shift from the other to allow spatial quality and interaction at the center. The social gathering use of space highlights the exterior and able to be connected through the threshold. Because the facade exhibits suspension, the spaces of programs to either become atop or suspended within. Hence, circulation was an important moment for individuals to intake as it becomes equal between the enclosed verges and allows individuals to dwell on the outside.

The site was crucial to understand the placement of the structure and how it can function. Through site analysis, the wind patterns and vegetation in�luences the structure. From that angle, structure parallel to the creek to avoid ignoring the creek due to it’s importance. To further inspect how to relate back to the site, the roof planes relies on the surrounded trees so daylighting and natural conditions can come into play. These planes overlap to connect between the main entrance and the pool over the creek. Taking aspects from the site has in�luenced the sense of this project and how it endues the site. 4

Building upon the spirit of California’s new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) laws, and insights gleaned from the precedent studies, design two accessory dwelling units for the Mar Vista lot and adapt the original Ain-designed mid-century single-family home to suit the needs of contemporary users. The proposal must take into account each dwelling’s need for access, privacy, outdoor space, light, and air. The end result will be a proposal consisting of three dwelling units in total: the original Mar Vista house plus two new ADUs. Upon the project proposal I decided to dedicate the ADU units to A single creative professional’s live/work space (illustrator, designer, �ilm industry screenwriter, or similar). ADU 1: Live/work space for a single working artist (painter, studio photographer, or similar). ADU 2: An aspiring actor and their teenage child. As drawing inspiration from COVID and seeking to understand how a live/work scenario would �it within 700 square feet. Each unit became different as the served and servant units �lipped to meet and understand the space.

Focus was to carry the same concept from past projects to design housing according to the site and re�lecting Ain’s design concept within the Mar Vista Lot. To produce the massing, speci�ic lots allow the massing to be around and create public and community spaces in between. For unit aggregation, the ground �loor is accessibility and two-level unit on the upper �loors. These would become double loaded corridors to provide on street approach for the ground �loor and allow horizontal central circulation for the upper �loors. Though limitations for natural lighting are resulted, with the help of private terraces for each unit and fenestration usage will subdue the issue.

This Nuclear bomb Memorial is located at the Yucca flats, which is apart of the Nevada Testing Site. This part of the testing facility was active during the cold war and is the most heavily bombed place on Earth having over 700 tests totaling over 800 nuclear detonations. This amount of testing has devastated the 14-mile-long basin between two mountain ranges leaving hundreds of craters scattered throughout the landscape. The memorial is located in the center of the site bring the viewer face to face with the devastation as they stand on the edge of these massive craters. The architecture of the memorial consists of two main parts, the separated interior spaces containing the program, and the exterior space covered by a canopy system to keep the viewer comfortable and engaged with the site. The Program is broken up so that the viewer is pushed to different parts of the site that each offer a new perspective on the landscape and the craters that fill it. The interior spaces in habits terracotta roof planes that emerge from the ground connecting them back into the landscape while still offering prospect as the viewer looks out over the vast craters. The canopy system spans the length of the site giving way to the program and prospect for the rest of the site, while also allowing controlled light into the space while keeping the viewer out of the desert sun allowing the site to be experienced at its fullest.

FOR THE PAST TWENTY YEARS, SPRINGDALE ARKANSAS POPULATION HAS GROWN DUE TO LABOR OPPORTUNITIES CAUSING A INCREASE IN DIVERSITY AMONG THE COMMUNITY. THE SPRINGDALE BRANCH LIBRARY ATTEMPTS TO CELEBRATE AND EMBRACE THE AMOUNT OF CULTURES IT CARRIES BY; REDEFINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTERIOR AND GENERAL OUTSIDE PUBLIC THROUGH COLOR, FORM AND PROGRAM. THE LIBRARY STANDS AT A HIGH TRAFFIC INTERSECTION IN DOWNTOWN SPRINGDALE. IT HAS A DISTINCTIVE CURVE FORM TO ALLOW CONTINUATION AS IT IS MADE OF METAL CLADDING ON THE EXTERIOR AND TIMBER STRUCTURE ON THE INTERIOR. THE LIBRARY REVEALS ITS CONTENTS WITHOUT BEING DIDACTIC AT THE SAME TIME, IT CASTS THE CITY IN A NEW LIGHT AS COLOR IS USED TO DETERMINE THE PROGRAM LAYOUT WHILE ENCOURAGING PUBLIC USAGE
