My primary goal with architecture is to create common space for individuals and communities to gather and liberate their minds and bodies. In order to do so successfully, one must understand tectonics and the implications of architectural techniques as well as be aware of social needs and diverse cultures.

CIM - Car in the Mall Interior Urbanism, Winter 2018 Mall 205 is located in East Portland by Interstate 205. This shopping mall used to be one of the key destinations for people to shop and do their daily business. Mall 205 is now slowly dying because of online shopping. This project investigates how the dying mall can be squated in by other architectural typologies and engagements.
CIM critically expands the mall typology by intergrating an online shopping outlet at the mall’s entrance. Consumers order items online and pick up their orders with the vending system at the outlet. A drive-in tunnel responds to the relations between online shpping and an existence of the mall. The extended street brings in the new mall interior experience to the consumers and people in surrounding neighborhoods who like to walk in the mall.

Design Concept Many consumers like to shop for items online due to the convenience of searching and ordering. Knowing that, the mall can engage the new lifestyle by providing an Amazon pick-up station for consumers who desire alternative ways to recieve their packages. The design creates a drive-up tunnel through the mall for consumers to pick up their orders. The formation of the tunnel is inspired by shopping bags. It responds to the idea of capitalist lifestyle.
Conceptual 3D Model Designed with Grasshopper
Skyline Night Time and Bird-safe Architecture, Fall 2017 The design intends to integrate the natural landscape to aid the flow of migrating nocturnal birds through the urbanscape. While the design creates a place for nature, it also develops vibrant lifestyles at night for people. This architecture will integrate into the site as a part of an existing educational district extending from Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), Oregon Rail Heritage Center, and Portland Community College (PCC).
The tower will be a new Portland landmark for people and birds at night. The height of tower at 120 feet, which makes it the tallest building in this district, will help birds on the rooftop feel safe and peaceful through the seperation from the urban lights. The tower also creates a gradient of light from bottom to top to differentiate human space form bird space. The controlled light emission from the building also develops a unique experience in the city.

Bird Safe Strategy
Program Orientation
This project provides dark area for birds and light area for humans by using program-oriented design strategy. Mechanical fins as the skin can also mitigate the light emission from the building during migration seasons by articulating the facade. Furthermore, green light is chosen as a the main light source in the building because it is one of the safe light spectrums for birds. Finally, the curtain wall is designed to be disoriented to birds, so birds will not fly toward the glass wall.
The program is oriented from light to dark where the most public programs begin on the first floor, and programs will be less public on the the top. As a result, the light that is emitted from the building will decrease toward the top floor.

and working on site, people can do local farming at farming tower in the middle for their food and have the same dinning space in the main dinning courtyard in the front.
Trinity Housing Project, Winter 2016 According to the topic of Buddhist economics by E. F. Schumacher, 1911-1977, work is viewed as threefold: “to give a man a chance to utilize and develop his faculties; to enable him to overcome his ego-centredness by joining with other people in a common task; and to bring forth the goods and services needed for a becoming existence.� This concept refers to the livable small community that people can live and work together locally with others. People will meet and learn about each other in the provided courtyard. The courtyard provides space for social activities like creating art work on wood panels and planting food in vertical farming tower. Finally, the first floors provide space for productions and services to fulfill other’s needs and happiness.

Performance Each unit is designed to be as compact as possible; with only main componants that are neccessary to daily lives: such as bedroom, bathroom, livingroom, and small kitchen. Circulation is designed to emphasize the view of the living room and courtyard to be seen when entering the unit. All units have bedroom as lofts to keep units space compact. In addition, all of the large units have an additional bedroom on the unit’s floor.

The project contains 34 residencial units. A living unit obtains average daylight quality of 2 percent where illuminance is at least 28 footcandles. The living unit also has an R value total of 20.9 which means well insulated. Light Wood Frame Structure is simply protected from moisture to exceed 15 percent by using vapor barrier sheet. The building would be very durable. By choosing wood as material, it gives low carbon foot print and pollution while construction.

Reunir Adaptive Reuse, Spring 2015 “Through this fire, the hearth is the enduring ground and dermintative middle the site of all sites, as it were, the homestead pure and simple, toward which everything presences alongside and together with everything else and thus first is.” - Martin Heidegger, Philosopher Fireplace has always been the center for people to gather around. This building takes the concept of fireplace in architecture. The intention is to assemble people in the community with common public activity; such as a foodcourt while the building functions as an office and bike garage for commutors.
This is the historical fire station located in the corner of NW 3rd Ave and NW Glisan St Portland, Oregon. The key of adapting this old fire station is to use a series of steel columns and beams to retain the existing envelop. Steel beams also imitate the old fire station’s beam structure to keep its characteristics. In addition, the new building will juxtapose with the fire station building and create a gathering space for people in the community. The whole building is enveloped with giant red curve structure that does not only aesthetically connect two buildings into one, but it also provides a benefit as a roof and a sound barrier againt the noise from trains since the building is located along the side of train’s track in the North side.

ONE
Urban Infill Project, Spring and Fall 2018
The ONE building is designed to provide a space for displaced communities in Southeast Portland to use as a community center, residential, and performance space. This building will be organized by the non-profit organization, APANO (Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon). The building will include retail spaces, auditrorium, office, and housing for performers.
The design is focused on the courtyard between the main building and the wing for outdoor performances and events. The concept is to unite diversed people from different communities. The courtyard opens up to the street and gives a connection to people and the city. People from the street can interact with the activities like performances, markets, and community meetings in the courtyard.

82nd Ave Development Plan Urban Planning (BPS) 82nd ave. in East Portland has become a part of potential developments along with other main corridors as the city is growing. The main objective of this project is to create a livable city with connectivity, safety, health, economy, and green environment. In a large scale, six different nodes on this corridor are chosen to be centers of development that serve different unique characteristics and purposes on the corridor. Also, these six nodes will be connected with the green infrastrucutre along the corridor. The green infrastructure will provide accessibility through centers of development and open spaces.

Max Station (I-84) / 82nd Ave
The main charecteristics of nodes on 82nd Ave are: • • • • • •
The site across Madison High School node will serve as recreation and education space. Max Station over I-84 node will provide office and hotel space with high rise buildings. Montavilla node will provide a lot of festival streets with local business. Jade District node will serve as center of business as international district. Foster nodes will served as shopping center and the South transportation hub. Springwater Corridor will provide an urban waterfront park along Johnson Creek.

Walking Street Human Scale Connectivity “Finally, in their quest to become more sustainable, cities need to remember that, for the typical pedestrian, the most mundane storefront is still more interesting than the most luxuriant landscape.” ― Jeff Speck, Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time
One of the features to create walkability and livable 82nd Ave is the Walking Street or Festival Street. Walking street will bring liveliness and activities into communities along 82nd. It will provide street life at day and night. When the street has more activities, it will invite people to walk and interact with each others. The walking street does not only create activities and business, but it also increase public safety and health.

Foster South Hub Three-Phase Development Six designated centers along the 82nd Ave will create the new opportunity to make a neighborhood livable for the city growth. The intersection of 82nd ave. and Foster rd. is one of the designated centers that could turn into the transportation hub due to heavy traffic and rapid public transportation. Sidewalk

Hill Park is located on between SW Naito pkwy and SW Harbor dr. This park was once a part of Harbor Drive, a ramp to the Interstate 5. Now, it has become a leftover space after the Habor Drive got replaced with the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The main objective is to investigate the potential developements with great experience and connectivity through the Hill Park where Green Loop Project’s allignment would run through. The Green Loop Project’s concept is a six-mile linear park that connects people to experience Portland’s Central City, so this park will be one of new parks where people will stop by. This project will also turns an underutilized park into a new attracting urban open space. The concept is to make enjoyable human scale connectivity. By using its uneven ground landscape, fun and adventurous design can be used to make unique park.
