ABOUT Currently studying at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and pursuing a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree, with a minor in Real Property Development from Construction Management. With a background in the fine arts, I strive to bring the ordinary to life in new and engaging ways.

Some say good design is invisible, but where is the fun in that? When everyone has the same tools, it’s up to the individual to manipulate and use them in a different way. Reality is meant to be bent, warped and constrained to fit our fundamental needs and desires. I believe we must re-imagine, re-intrepret and re-spond to the way individuals think in order for design to move forward.

Amused by the playful, the insightful, and the future; I find myself to be a forward thinker.

AP Art Concentration 2012

4� x 4� Acrylic on Canvas Concept: Study of color and light through visceral memories Concentrating on the intricacies of form and qualities of light, I created a series of deeply rooted memories using acrylic. This visual collection, is part of an ever expanding library of thoughts and moments that constantly stream through my mind.

Miniature in scale, yet complex in emotion and personality this random assortment of images attempts to encapsulate myself.

RETREAT

An ESCAPE for Cal Poly

McKay 06

Project: Campus Enhancement 2014 Mission: Create a retreat for students and faculty, overlooking southern main campus; interweaving land and built forms.

Skills: One of my first holistic landscape designs, this project was a process of evolution. Developing ideas form goals and objectives to diagrams and hand sketches. I ultimately created hand drafted grading plans and sections, to inform the construction of a 20 scale physical model; to reinstill the integration of land, built and plant form.

REVISE, ENHANCE & RE-CREATE

Winter 2015

CAD and Digital Media Communication LA 431-01 | Beverly Bass

Utlizing my new skills with AutoCAD I took a look back at some of my earlier projects and found many sketches and concepts that could be further refined if only they were digitized. Therefore this project became a study of skills, techniques and use of a variety of different media to revise, enhance or re-create past work, for my portfolio.

PROJECT: Park & K St LA 435 - MARTIN FLORES - 2014

Concept:

Art, culture, education and entertainment working in perfect unison, to create a new vantage point, destination and “Artery� for the ever expanding network of East Village in San Diego.

Goals & Objectives:

Improve accessibiltiy between vehicular, public and pedestrian transportation - Plan a complete stree system along 12th avenue - Provide an efficient way finding system for pedestrians and existing MTS rail lines throughout the block

Create New public useable space for the community

- Construct a public structure for utilities, restrooms and shade - Supply sufficient street and gathering spaces for high traffic use

Connect pedestrian traffic with adjacent San Diego Main Public Library and the city fabric

- Establish a distinct entrance for library users on East side of park

Enhance public safety

- Properly light park for night time use - Establish open space, to deter from theft and sense of closure - Design with accessibility in mind, ADA and emergency personnel accessible

Utilize ground and sky place for vantage points from adjacent high rises - Extensive public art installation

Maintain outdoor public interest and promote community growth - Highlight sustainability and self-sufficient practices, as means of education -High efficiency building, with grey water practice and management - Provide open space for public gatherings such as farmer markets and community events - Engage users with interactive element (ie. lights or water feature)

Existing & Proposed Development

Parking & Recreation

Existing Development

Proposed Development

Currently the site is surrounded by useable dead space found in the form of large concrete parking lots and little recreation zones. But with the implementation of new recreation centers such as a new downtown football stadium and 14th street park, the increase walk-ability and users to the area would be tremendous. In turn this removal of concrete parking lots would also diminish the strong Heat Island effect that currently is an issue for the area.

Proposed Development

Housing & Mixed Use Pulsate: The “Artery” Park of East Village 10 Currently no bordering housing or mixed used space surrounds the site, but proposed development would change that. The addition of Ballpark Village, a 37 story mixed use building south of the site would draw new users to the library and its adjacent sites. Proposed development of 320 apartments to the west of 13th St, would be a direct change in the amount of users the site would recieve once move in has begun.

Site

To the west and north, scattered commercial and industrial sites currently are in operation. Places like the Mission as San Diego breakfast favorite, stands at the corner of J St and 13th. With new proposed construction, many of the existing industrial sites would be removed and replaced with mixed or single family housing. But with this new development, commercial sites would find more economic growth and a larger client base.

Utilizing the sites proximity to some of downtown San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest attractions and newest residential editions, I structured the site with a strong cross axial circulation.

Connecting residents with admendities and recreation, Pulsate would become a transitional space for the diverse demographics within East Village. While providing natural elements for relaxtion, such as open lawn and bio-swales for runoff collection, the site currently resides as a dead zone in downtown, informally being a place for homeless to congregate. Therefore, activating the space and as a throughfare would demote people to stay and lioter.

Interactive Lighting Consisting of over 200 light posts and benches Pulsateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest feature comes from the use of a linear zig-zagging light path that winds through the park. As a throbbing heart beat for the city fabric, the park becomes alive as the lighted path radiates out from the MTS trolley tracks that intersect the park.

Being LED this lighting feature has the potential to be a variety of colors, and patterns. Such as blue for the when the Padres win a game and fan make there way home from the game a block away.

ESCALATE

A Memorial to the Evolution of Drawing

McKay 24

McKay 25

Project: Memorial LA 402 - David Watts - 2015 Creating a memorial in response to the article Death of Drawing by David Ross Scheer. I for saw the change from hand drawing to digital drafting as an evolution of process rather then something that has a beginning and end.

Expanding off of this theory and into materials and forms I strived to create a transitional experience in a highly traversed area, known as Escalate.

As a way of capturing the rapidly expanding network of technology that is slowly consuming our lives and world of drawing; Escalate strips down the basics of drawing history into four distinct design elements.

Line + Shapes + Planes + Forms Constructed on the facade of a brutalist concrete wall, Escalate addresses the sites context through the utilization of the grade change and journey the individuals to the site take. Using the theory of evolution, Escalate attempts to address every element of growth, as one builds on each other. From paint to wood, wood to stone, stone to metal, and metal to glass, the materials that make up the memorial address not only elements of design but the evolution of raw materials used in technology.

Evolution of Form + Materials Reading the space, left to right like a book or timeline; one can see the visual transformation from line work to 3D forms emerging from the concrete wall, raising over their heads.

General Notes: 1. Posts and beams are mahogany for deep color.

2. Joints, shown in side elevation, are all dovetail to allow for horizontal sliding and removal.

3. Modular design allows for interchangable pieces, i.e. remove beams and replace with shelving.

4. See joinery detail for joints and connections.

5. See light detail for lighting features.

Project: Design Implementation

2014 | Group Members: Nicholas Kong, Jolie Leung Challenged to create an outdoor piece of furniture, our team decided to design and construct a 7 foot tall kinetic wall/garden screen. Constructed of wood, this massive joinery project needed to provide ease of movement between parts, therefore is comprised of 28 dovetail joints and one inch beams.

Design: Modular and kinetic, our wall was intended

for various uses and platforms. As a sort of do it yourself kit, we envisioned our wall being sold and manufactured on the basis that the owner can change its functions and appearances for their uses.

Details: Together our team planned every detail

out before construction commenced. From elevations, sections, plans and joinery details we created construction documents for every aspect.

Construction: Working side by

side our team spent tideous time and effort hand crafting every element.

Sanding, cutting, planing and staining we created a completely functional, and highly admired wall for the student showcase.
