Paintings [left] . The richness of cardboard as a painting medium is its history and flutes. The serious of four paintings draw a connection to the multiplicity of the program. Abstract [top] . A space should be molded around the user, defining how and why the space is used. The space should create a whole body and mind experience by taking a phenomenological approach. Landscape Analogue [bottom] . The intervention highlights the natural cycles occurring between the ocean and the rock. Sited on the edge of the rock formation at Spooners Cove in Montana de Oro, the intervention follows the form of the rock formation in plan and the horizon line of the ocean in elevation. The juxtaposition is revealed in various scale and perspective angles.

Reclaim, a dining chair, adaptively repurposes an aged wine barrel. The original purpose of the material, storing wine, enhances the experience of the chair by awaking the sense of smell. The sense of smell is closely tied to a tasting experience. The tall from, at 5’-4�, in combination with a set of chairs, defines the dining area through the visual experience. When seated, the back of the chairs limits visibility.

Located in Tuolemne County at the foothills of Yosemite, Pine Mountain Lake is supported by the older and adjacent communities of Groveland and Big Oak Flats. The Groveland - Big Oak Flats area is a considerable stop between the Bay Area and Yosemite National Forest. The site is located at the backyard of my parent’s property in the foothills of Yosemite. Situated awkwardly on the site, the prefabricated house holds itself as a place of shelter. The backyard has greater potential to be a place to exist along side nature. Crescent Way

Nature’s Elements . Photographs
“The very essence of the lived experience is moulded by hapticity and peripheral unfocused vision. Focused vision confronts us with the world whereas peripheral vision evelops us in the flesh of the world.... Peripheral vision integrates us with space, while focused vision pushes us out of the space, making us mere spectators.” —Juhani Pallasmaa

location . Copenhagen, Denmark The site is an infill project bridging the gap between two story tall colorful row houses and a five story tall brick apartment building. The formal gesture is to use the existing heights to unify the infill, with the intersection creating sunlit circulation. The main materials used are perforated corten, vegetation and glass. Perforated Corten steel is used to compliment the vegetation with its earthy and evolving tones, as well as lighting quality.

Blurring the Edge . Center for Culinary Arts An experience is defined through blurring the edge between the restaurant and walking street. The exterior finishes, corten steel, stainless steel and oak, change with the depth of the building. The design developed by studying the relationship of defined spaces using perpendicular planes.

Gehry’s free flowing forms is contrasted with a twisted cube, allowing the structural form to define the space. The rhythm of the gallery follows a twist around a central gift shop.

Kastrup Søbad Seawater Lido
architect . White Architects
date . 2005
Will you jump? The journey of Kastrup Søbad Seawater Lido consists of a slow spiraling walk. The back wall pulls the user along the path which slowly leads higher and higher into the air, with a diving board at the end. “Will you jump?,” asks the path. Questions like this reiterate that architecture is meant to be experienced.
