FUTURE PRIMITIVE HUT Project Type: Zero Dwelling Location: Barcelona, Spain Semester: Spring 2015 School: University of Southern California Professor: Yo-ichiro Hakomori Recognitions: Featured on Rethinking The Future The project aims to provide a net zero dwelling, that eliminates energy consumption and provides solutions with renewable energy. The project is located in Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate that has mild, humid winters and warm, dry summers. The house’s U-shaped typology shape was chosen based on the weather conditions. This typology is selected to create unique spaces in both interior and exterior. The design is modified and stacked to fit the surrounding environment and climate. The area of this residential dwelling is 800 sq.ft, which is a part of a six house community, located on a hillside. The house is designed to accommodate a young couple with an open concept design that creates specious areas. The design is to enhance cross ventilation breathing, this house cools down naturally by taking advantage of the biomass of its submerged structure. The sunken house works with in the ground for cooling in the summers and warming in the winters.

DTLA UBER RESEARCH CAMPUS Project Type: Research Laboratory Location: Los Angeles, CA Semester: Spring 2016 Professor: John Dutton School: University of Southern California The lab design was highly influenced with the play of materiality, where some areas were concealed with solid material other areas were more exposed with glass. Materiality is a major element in the interior design of the lab as well. Each material has its own physical and structural properties that gave a character to the lab, these materials influenced the design, form and construction of the finished design of the lab.

DESIGNING IN THE LITTORAL ZONE Project Type: Site Development for North Beach Village Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL Semester: Fall 2016 Professor: Larry Scarpa School: University of Southern California Sea level rise is inevitable and it will be responsible for changing one of the most vulnerable regions of the state, the landscape of South Florida. Heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding of streets from King Tides all contribute to the abundance of water on the site without proper means to flow back into the water cycle. Constantly in the shadow of Miami, the second most populous city in the region, Fort Lauderale, is is one of the first to be inundated as sea levels rise. North Beach Village’s location on a barrier island, with aging infrustructure, porous limestone geology and dense coastal development make it even more vulnerable to serious destruction if actions are not taken to adapt to sea level rise and mitigate flooding.

Large amounts of impervious surfaces exacerbate flooding in North Beach Village. Large amounts of asphalt allenge the ability to prevent temporary flooding do to rainfall and storm surge. The impervious coverage in the area account for over 75% of the surfaces.

HYDROLOGY
ANALYSIS: SITE CONDITION
South Florida floods three ways, from the bottom, top and laterally. Average rainfall values are aproximately 60 inches per year, but almost 70% of it occurs during the hurricane season, from June to October. The annual king tides exacerbate flooding when salt water seeps up in the low-lying areas of South Florida.

FORM & FUNCTION Project Type: Campus Research Center Location: Santa Catalina Island, CA Semester: Spring 2016 Professor: Andy Ku School: University of Southern California The institute is designed and formed to follow current users functions and movements. The program and building designed aids to ease the process of learning and using the facility. The institute is divided into two separate buildings one for students and one for faculty and staff with a connecting bridge that serves as the interpretive center, gallery and break out space. From any point approaching the site the movement of any user of that space is visible which shows the concept of the whole project wrapped around users.
