BRIDGE CITY LOCATION: I-35 Corridor DATE: April 2015 DURATION: 4 weeks MENTOR: Prof. Ian Caine DESCRIPTION: Bridge City is a bridge prototype that can happen on various locations along highway I-35 corridor , part of which connects San Antonio to Austin. This proposal addresses issues such as lack of public space, walkable areas, and interconnectivity, particularly in areas of sprawl such as suburbs or outskirt of a city, or areas of in-between two cities where developments are isolated and segregated from each other due to vast amounts of unused land. The idea is to incorporate a variety of programs that are lacking in the surrounding sprawl areas. This makes the bridge a destination for people to go, rather
10
than just a pedestrian bridge. All the programs come together in a concrete shell, which further ties itself to idea of Bridge City as a prototype. In other words the concrete shell with numerous perforations represents itself as an identifiable shape that can appear multiple times along the highway.
11
PROGRAM / CIRCULATION DIAGRAMS STAR-GAZING and YOGA platforms are located on a path that ramps up around the performance area.
CHILDREN’S BICYCLE PATH is an oval path that surrounds the play area and has view both to the highway and the sky.
PERFORMANCE AREA can be used for small concerts, dance, music, or plays, and has view to the highway from the steps.
PLAY AREA includes a space for swing, pentagon, monkey’s bar, and has a circular glass area in the middle where kids can watch the cars passing underneath the bridge.
HIGHWAY-GAZING platform is located roughly in the middle of the bridge and can be accesses through a seperate path that does not get interrupted by other programs .
12
PICNIC AND VEGETABLE GARDEN is located above the cafe for more convenience. The product of vegetable garden can be used in the cafe
MINIATURE GOLF COURSE is divided into three platforms in three different levels to enhance the sense of play. Each platform is connected to the next one through a path in the sequence of golf courses.
CAFE is located under the picnic garden and has glass walls for open views to the surrounding. It serves lunch baskets for people to enjoy in the picnic garden.
BASKETBALL COURT is located on the lowest level of the bridge and has views to the highway.

ARTIST’S DRAWING STUDIO LOCATION: Bluestar road, San Antonio, TX DATE: Spring 2014 DURATION: 8 weeks MENTOR: Prof. John Webb DESCRIPTION: The main concept for the design of artist’s studio is the idea of refuge and prospect. This idea is achieved through spacial configuration and materiality in design. The massive concrete structure serves as a refuge space and the lightweight wooden structure with a large window creates a space for prospect, allowing the artist to express herself. Space configuration diagrams show the progress starting with two colliding rectangles and resulting in two structures contrasting with and complementing each other. Artist’s studio has a total area of 200 sf and is to replace one of the silos located off of Bluestar road by the San Antonio river. A large window opens to the north and has a view of the river. lightshelves on the east and louvres on the west face of the building allow indirect natural light to enter. A shallow pool surrounds the concrete wall on the exterior, along with a small interior garden, give a poetic sense to the cold and massive wall.

CLT MODULAR HOUSING - TREEHOUSING COMPETITION DATE: July 2015 DURATION: 8 weeks MENTOR & TEAM MEMBER: Prof. Taeg Nishimoto DESCRIPTION: CLT Modular Housing is a proposal for Treehousing Competition which calls for design proposals that use wood as a renewable and sustainable material to address issues of global housing crisis. This project proposes an innovative way of using CLT, or Cross Laminated Timber, as a structural element that directly impacts the image of building as a modular housing, and explores the further possibility of precision fabrication and CNC cutting process to produce smaller but precise components that are more easily transported and assembled on site. CLT Modular Housing is a prototype that consists of modular units of 5mx5m squares with rounded corners. Modules can be combines to create different spacial configurations. CLT panels are used as vertical structural elements locked into each other in a zig-zag form, with insulation and exterior LVL finish following the same zig-zag assembly system. All drawings are done in collaboration with Taeg Nishimoto.

UNDULAE - LIGHTING DESIGN DATE: Feb 2015 DURATION: 4 months MENTOR & TEAM MEMBER: Prof. Taeg Nishimoto
DESCRIPTION: Undulae is a series of lighting fixtures made from bioplastic. Bioplastic refers to a kind of plastic made from biodegradable natural ingredients. The ingredients for making bioplastic include starch, water, gelatin, glycerin, and vinegar. Ingredients are mixed and heated to gain desired consistency and then poured on parchment paper while still warm. If left to dry by itself bioplastic will shrink and create unpredictable forms. Therefore it took us many trials and errors to finally be able to create a tubular shape out of bioplastic. Bioplastic
is sandwiched between two layers of parchment paper and held between three PVC pipes and left to dry. The texture of the surface is a result of the crease created by parchment paper when it gets wet. While the middle part of the bioplastic gets the form of a tube due to being held between PVC pipes, the edges have more freedom to create unpredictable undulating forms as drying. Undulae comes in two forms of pendant and desk lighting fixtures.

SONSBEEK PAVILION - MATERIAL PROPOSAL DATE: Fall 2015 DURATION: 10 days MENTOR: Prof. Taeg Nishimoto DESCRIPTION: Sonsbeek Pavilion was designed as a temporary sculpture pavilion by Dutch architect Aldo Van Eyck in 1966. It was destroyed a few months later and rebuilt in 2006 in Kröller-Müller museum in Hoenderloo, Netherlands. It is constructed of six parallel walls with distance of 2.5 meter from each other. This project proposes a different material for this pavilion, ALUMINUM, manufactured through process of EXTRUSION. Three different modules of extrusion profile are proposed. The profiles interlock into each other with slip fit joint method. The extrusions are placed vertically on a concrete slab. Three extrusions form a solid wall that spans about 8 ft. Then the next three are placed with a gap of 3 in. From the previous extrusions. The roof of structure is to be of aluminum sheets .Aluminum extrusion profiles as well as sheets are mirror polished.

JW MARRIOTT iOS APP USER INTERFACE DATE: Feb 2015 DURATION: 2 months TEAM MEMBERS: Rome Hooks, mechanical engineering student MENTOR: Dr. Bing Dong DESCRIPTION: This project proposes a user interface as a cellphone app for monitoring energy consumption of JW Marriott Hotel buildings in the United States. This application is to be used by three groups of Facility Managers, Field Engineers, and Hotel Staff. Energy consumption is visualized for electricity, gas, and water consumption of a building. In addition to being able to monitor the energy consumption of a particular hotel, the managers or staff of that hotel are to be able to see the performance of their peers as a way of being challenged and encouraged to reduce their energy consumption in comparison to their peers.

JW MARRIOTT HILL COUNTRY - RESEARCH PROJECT DATE: Feb 2015 DURATION: 2 months TEAM MEMBERS: Rome Hooks, mechanical engineering student MENTOR: Dr. Bing Dong DESCRIPTION: This project is part of a research project on all of the JW Marriott hotels in the United States with the purpose of study of user behavior in energy consumption of the hotel buildings and proposing solutions for reducing energy consumption by factoring in human behavior, including hotel guests, staff, managers and field engineers. This project particularly studies the performance of JW Marriott in San Antonio, TX by creating a 3D model of the building in Sketch up and Open Studio software and exporting into EnergyPlus software. The first step was to create the geometry in 3D based on construction documents of the building. At the same time different information needed for energy analysis had to be gathered and entered into Open Studio software.
38
Information in Open Studio is categorized in a few categories including three main categories of Construction Set, Space Type, and Thermal Zones. Construction Set includes information about the material used in different parts of the building. Since the 3D drawing had to be precise but simplified, each floor plan was broken into multiple smaller spaces. Space Type includes public spaces, service area, guest rooms, food preparation, and plenum space. Thermal Zone is defined based on HVAC distribution system as well as principles of air flow between different spaces.
