SELF-DEPENDENT SOLAR MATERIAL STEEL TUBE STRUCTURE THAT HOUSES WIRING FOR THE TRANSFER OF HARVESTED ENERGY CUSTOM MALE AND FEMALE CONNECTIONS STRUCTURAL FRAME FOR SOLAR DEVICE
studio: the grotesque harvesting energy
winter semester 2010
the following research proposes a new energy infrastructure that harnesses solar energy and produces electricity and methanol fuel. the design project seeks a new output for sustainable energy production and consumption through an interconnected network to engage humans with machines in an informative and instantaneous conversation. the depressed urban freeway in detroit, michigan stages a testing ground for the deployment of this concept.

studio: simply housing urban green
fall semester 2010
a multi-family housing project in the douglas neighborhood of chicago, illinois seeks to implore sustainable strategies that creates a cohesive but dynamic housing infill for the neighborhood. the buildings employ living green machines that filter, collect, and disperse rainwater and waste. the south facade contains a terra cotta fin system that assists in diffusing light away and into each unit. a detailed site analysis propsed additional program [grocery, fitness, cafe] supplement the housing to provide much needed amenities to the neighborhood.

thesis landscape syenergy
fall & winter 2010 - 2011
a synergetic and mutualistic environment provokes the architectural discipline to manifest design that promotes ecological, political, and social conflictions in the urban industrial sector. the thesis implores an urban industrial manufacturing facility that embraces an endosymbiotic relationship of a hydrogen energy plant with the tissue of the earth. the goal of the thesis intends to create self sustaining research nodes for the promotion of bio technologies.
