Rampiral is a private beach resort development on the North Coast of the Pacific Ocean in Ecuador. During an 18-month collaboration with L+A Arquitectos in Quito, Ecuador I managed the DD and CD phases of this project in preparation for start of construction early 2016. The scope of the project included full site work and landcaping in addition to architectural components for 28 apartments (in 5 buildings) and 6 private houses on the hillside above. We also developed several smaller structures to facilitate public amenities, recreation and on-site staff services. While LEED certification was not yet available in this region, we implemented guidelines for new construction to maintain an environmentally responsible process and product.

721 ADELAIDE PL, SANTA MONICA, CA Adelaide is a modular home designed by Ray Kappe, FAIA, and drawn, detailed and produced by Livinghomes to be LEED Gold. I was the Project Architect on this home, working on it for almost 3 years and managing the project in full. My responsibilities included everything from producing and managing the design documents to sitework and final installation. I worked with the Cities of Santa Monica and Los Angeles to permit the home, as the nature of the property required coordination between the two entities. In responsible charge of the integrated project team I also worked directly with the Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineers as well as Landscape, Solar, and Pool Consultants through design and construction to implement LEED strategies toward certification. Livinghomes also served as the construction manager for the project and I was able to be there often to respond to RFI’s, coordinate consultant work, and maintain that the home was built to the contract documents. .

At Livinghomes we embraced the benefit of modular design’s ability to adapt to different site conditions and limitations as well as budget constraints in terms of overall size and cost of fixture and material selections. In this case, our standard design was shortened and the plan was mirrored to allow for its placement as a second living structure behind an existing single-family home. The client also selected their own low flow fixtures and acceptable materials per LEED guidelines. As in the 44th St home, this smaller variation was designed to meet LEED Platinum standards.

Designed in collaboration with Kieran Timberlake AIA as a lowercost model home for the International Builder Show in Las Vegas (2010) and the TED conference in Long Beach, this project was factory built in Southern California and transported and installed in 2 different locations before its permanent site in Newport Beach, CA. The home consists of 4 prefabricated modules sized approximately 9’x 55’ and stacked 2 wide and 2 tall. Fabrication took 6 months and was installed in 8 hours at each of the 3 locations. The home is now LEED Certified Platinum and includes a 3.2kw solar photovoltaic array which offsets 95% of the home’s energy use, EcoClad rainscreen system and environmental m o n i t o r i n g .

BELLES STREET SAN FRANCISCO, CA
Livinghomes teamed with Kieran Timerlake AIA on this multi-family project in the Presidio of San Francisco to provide a sustainable and viable residential solution in a historically and nationally protected area. The project became the first to achieve LEED Platinum for multi-family housing in San Francisco. I worked under a CA Registered Architect in-office to produce the DD and CD sets for the project. My responsibilities included drawing and detailling architectural and site components, consultant coordination (structural, MEP, and Civil), and material research.

TECHTONIC GROTESQUE: PROLIFERATING POST HUMAN ASSEMBLIES We are post human-our theories tattooed on the flesh of our bodies, stamped and branded, not merely as symbols of aesthetic affiliation, but rather as something dangerously equivalentsymbols of belonging and defiance. And it is this particular paradox-of defiant belonging- that can be so dangerous precisely because the two are now equivalent: futile resistance in an age of unverifiable self-fashioning. Ted Hiebert, ‘The Lacanian Theory’
The understandings of beauty and utility in modern architecture are governed by prejudices of mediocrity in normalcy. Through the proliferation of culturally inadequate nostalgic representations of false histories, we are becoming increasingly severed from our built environment. In order to project dynamic relationships demanded by nomadic formal and functional ephemera, architecture must become grotesque through tectonic irregularity. Through potent vehicles of absurdity, disharmony, and overarticulation, architecture has the ability to deform and mutate into a critical reformation of aesthetics and evolving program. The tectonic grotesque defines architecture through a critique of post-humanism, where the fetish of biologic malleability (in flesh bodies) is imposed onto the reconfiguration of architectural assemblies. We begin to reconfigure our architectural bodies in the same ways that we already reconfigure our own flesh. Furthermore, it describes the strange and intricate behavior of shuffled familiarity through excessive constructs, performative disembodiment, altered aesthetic understanding, and hyper-functional simulations. Through imposed methodological executions of the grotesque, we arrive at an extended architectural body codified by critical exploitations of consumer-culture and evolving program.

The ELEMENT, designed by Marcello Spina of PATTERNS and fabricated at SCI_ARC by select students, can be described as a collective interface, a multiple contact surface sustaining thresholds between adjacent regions, bodies, materials and substances; a segmented space at which independent and disparate systems fuse and interact. While comprising all the qualities of a static object, the architecture of the ELEMENT proposes a finely constructed and dynamic mechanism for spatial modulation. Adjacent flow and patterns of behavior inhabiting its field will modify and adjust according to its material ‘rythmicity’ and its capacity to substantiate sensations. The ELEMENT is the system itself, an aggregate of variant surface trajectories that merge together to constitute an articulated body. I was part of the design team that fabricated and installed ‘the element’ at SCI-ARC. More specifically, my responsibility was to coordinate with the skin team and fabricate the structural shelves using a 3-axis mill and surf-cam s o f t w a r e .
