OFFERING TO THE CITY Wilderness Retreat Center In Association with The Bobby Brooks Design Studio Public and Civic Buildings In 1917 the 100â&#x20AC;? Hooker Telescope transformed the science community by allowing our vision into deep space. For 30 years beyond, Mt Wilson was the hub of astronomical research and development. As a direct result, Los Angeles developed Griffith Observatory as a celebration of the stunning achievements done at Mt Wilson. Today, Los Angeles has long forgotten the importance Mt Wilson once held. As light pollution clouds our skies, contemporary culture has lost visual contact with the stars. Mt. Wilson is poised at the threshold between two worlds. It is a sanctuary dedicated to the understanding of the universe. The charge was to design a place of offering to the city. What better offering than to produce a wilderness retreat center, open to the public year round, as a place of celebration, commemoration, and entertainment atop Los Anglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous proving grounds. Conceptually, the master plan follows the layout of a galaxy. The hub, which emulates the sublime of an event horizon across a black hole, is the center of activity atop Mount Wilson. The building expands from the earth providing spaces for public enjoyment and stages for entertainment and learning.

Martian Subterranean Habitat In-situ Resource Exploration “The Shire” copyright protected © 2015 In Association with the California Institute of Technology & NASA Keck Institute for Space Studies 3D Additive Manufacturing The Keck Institute for Space Studies at Cal Tech invited a group of students to design a 3D printed habitat for Mars. Our team consisted of a geologist, nano-engineer, aeronauticalengineer, chemist, industrial designer, and two architects (myself). The Martian SHIRE habitat concept consists of a buried partial torus and a ground level domed garage. The toroid contains a 1000 ft2 living quarters. The ground level garage dome is pressurized using Martian atmosphere and temperature controlled such that astronauts may work without a spacesuit. Our concept utilizes construction materials which can be solely derived from in-situ resources (NASA Phase III). The materials are to be manufactured and printed autonomously by a pair of robots: ATHLETE and RoverSimian (JPL). The habitat will be printed with Martian regolith (gypsum clay with subsurface water) and strengthened by plastic (polyethylene or polypropylene). The plastic can be manufactured by extracting C02 from the atmosphere and chemically mixing it with subsurface well water. Further, the plastic is sprayed to line the walls within the habitat maintaining an air tight seal. A thick layer of loose regolith will be piled on top of the structure for radiation protection. All lab materials will be printed and assembled once the team arrives.

California Cabins The Wedge In association with Cal Poly Pomona Graduate School of Architecture State Parks Forward Initiative & The California Department of Parks and Recreation Facade Detail and Manufacturing The charge was to investigate the cabin typology and design a space that would spark interest in the national park system. The state budget crisis of 2011 threatened the closure of more than 70 camp grounds. In response, the State Parks Forward Commission was created to generate cabin proposals to address financial, operational, and cultural issues facing the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The proposal was met through the California Cabins Graduate studio class led by Professor Juintow Lin. Her charge provided that the cabin must concentrate on issues of sustainability and mobility after construction. As an undergraduate student, myself and a fellow colleague (Noel Vazquez), were asked to create a computer model and a set of renderings for the Wedge Cabin. These renders would be utilized in a digial brochure, providing finishing options on the interior and exteiror of the cabin. Our clients would be able to choose from an array of siding, roofing, and decking options. The 145 sq. ft. cabin was built and displayed at the California State Fair as well as local partnerships in the community. It currently resides in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park.

Multi-Family Housing 16 unit multi-family complex 196 s. oakland ave. pasadena ca California Building Code Analysis and Design Documentation The design charge required an analysis of a variety of factors playing into the success of a multi-family housing project. Based upon the project location, Pasadena CA, I researched the predominant firms successful in producing housing in that location. Through the development of a genealogy chart, I was able to compare and contrast hundreds of room layouts. This comparison would become the precedent for the project. The existing demographics in Pasadena illustrated an extensive population of young professionals, who are mobile, well educated, or still in school. They live alone or with a roommate in rented apartments throughout the city. They are born of the transit oriented development age, and are proponents of bicycle culture. In turn, the housing units would cater to this demographic by highlighting a contemporary approach to Southern California living. Each apartment is a considered to be a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;walk-upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; style unit. There are no hallways or elevators, eliminating the motel style approach. In addition, each room has a view in two cardinal directions. Therefore, there maintains an equitable distribution of housing options. Through research, the room sizes and layouts were developed into a quadrant system. The central core of each building houses all plumbing, hvac, and electrical lines, maintaining an efficient and sustainable layout.

A Conceptual Analysis on the Identification and Curation of Artifacts and Elements Case Study: The Barcelona Pavilion: Barcelona Spain: Built 1929 / Reconstructed 1981 Site: The Farnsworth House, Plano Illinois: Built 1951 / Reconstructed 2020

The Barcelona Pavilion was analyzed and deconstructed to generate the design of the Farnsworth House Visitor Center. Interpreting Mies’s original intentions, the components of the Barcelona Pavilion were categorized into elements and artifacts. An artifact is denoted as a material that has been curated for the view and enjoyment of the patron. An element is denoted as any material that is not an artifact. The artifacts in the Barcelona Pavilion include: Green Alpine Marble, Green Grecian Marble, Golden Onyx, Roman Travertine, Grey Tinted Glass, Green Tinted Glass, White Tinted Glass, Transparent Glass, as well as all instances of water. The elements include all other materials including structural components and slabs. The second phase of this process was to determine the rules governing the arrangement of the artifacts and elements. A grid was overlaid across the building based on the datum of three key components: structure, material modules, and water elements. The Pavilion was then unfolded, its elements formed a shape, and the artifacts attached to it holding onto their geometric and material properties. The shape of the Barcelona Pavilion transformed into a machine and went in search of other rare artifacts. The Farnsworth site in Plano, Illinois has transformed over the years. Architects and engineers have struggled to protect the Farnsworth House from annual flooding. In multiple instances, the water level from the nearby Fox River has risen and flooding into the house causing serious damage. Something must be done. January 2018: After careful consideration, the Farnsworth House will be relocated to a site above the 500 year flood plain. It will be placed further East in the location of the current Farnsworth House Visitor Center. The Visitor Center will then be relocated to the original Farnsworth House location, commemorating Mies’s original intention through the addition of a Pavilion. The Pavilion will highlight the flooding issues through the creation of an artificial bay connected to the Fox River. By inviting the water to share a relationship with this new building, visitors may begin to understand the historical importance of the river and the building. January 2020: The Barcelona Machine has relocated to the Farnsworth site to become the new visitor center. Through a series of topological scans, the machine has identified 6 artifacts including the original Farnsworth House, the adjoining pool, the adjoining garage, the adjoining boat house, the tennis court, and the late ‘Barnsworth House’. As the new visitor center for the site, the machine has embedded itself in the property connecting the original 6 artifacts of the site to each other and linking the road with the Fox River. These artifacts snap to the grid of the Barcelona Machine, becoming extensions of the Visitor Center.
