Project Title:
An Artist Dwelling Location: Wavehill, The Bronx, NY Type: Residential; Studio Square Footage: 3,500 sq. ft. Course: Design_3 Critic: Andrew Lyon
Description: The program configuration is formed in a pivoting order, unwinding to lower levels. The most public spaces; gallery and studio are placed in the highest elevations and the most private; studio and living areas are places at lowest level closer to the enclosed/private area of the hill. All pivoting spaces lead to a central spine of circulation. From these spaces, there is opportunity to view and experience landscape from diference vantage points. Gradients of structural and louvers systems emgerge to depict light in an aggregate order.

Tectonic Canopy Location: None Type: Canopy Square Footage:100 sq. ft. Course: Design_3 Critic: Andrew Lyon
Description: The design is made up of two mechanisms, one in where the pieces are short, and dense. The other are more open and are longer, and thinner pieces make up the structure. Together, the two fliter light in an scattered, aggregate and gradational order. Like Antony Gromley’s Could XI, the human figure is illustrated a gradation using perpendicular “T” elements. With this tectonic system, the organization had to seem like an organized mess. Walking through this tectonic canopy, the center of the square is void and a square ring gradates from the center, out. The darkest part of the canopy, is where it imprint onto the ground excavating to a deeper level.

Alamo Colleges Location: San Antonio, TX Type: Administration Building; Conference Center Square Footage: 212,000 sq. ft. Course: Design_4 Critic: Michael Connor
Description: The project endures a hybrid outreach to connect the community and engage the public to an outdorr experience in the presence of the historic Acequia Madre de Valero. The project deals with the hybrid site, the urban side of Broadway Ave and the park. It places the most dense program along the urban edge. *Placed First of 48 enterys in the sophomore design competition at San Antonio College and was exhibited at the AIA San Antonio Office and featured at as student work in the AIA San Antonio Awards banquest in October 2012.

Project Title:
Alamo Colleges School of Architecture & Engineering
Location: Locust St & Main St._San Antonio, TX Type: Academic Square Footage: 34,000 sq. ft. Course: Design_4 Critic: Michael Connor Description: The Won Buddhist Center is a retreat in rural upstate New York, for spiritual reflection and discussion. The property gently slopes toward the west, offering views of the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains. The buildings for the center, which include permanent and guest residences, an administration building and a large meditation hall, are placed in the northern end of the site, set back away from the highway. The buildings are all oriented towards the west and south to maximize view and light, while each building is organized around an internal courtyard. The design concept for the buildings evokes both the tradition of grass roofed houses in Korea and a natural disposition of groups of trees placed along the grassy slope. The buildings are constructed primarily of local woods, and designed to minimize energy use by taking advantage of the natural light and ventilation.
