PERSONAL STATEMENT I am passionate about art and helping people. I am pursuing architecture as a profession because I see it as a career path where the two meet. Alvar Aalto said, “Building art is a synthesis of life in materialized form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.” The desire to make the world a better place for people to live in has been the greatest influence in my pursuit of architecture as a profession.

7 | CONCEPT

PROJECT STATEMENT Many of us are quick to condemn people who are homeless for their personal failures and inadequacies. Some may even believe that people choose to be homeless. However, the disparity between normal incomes and the cost of housing, make it so that any emergency can leave you on the street. Homelessness is a significant threat to productivity, self-esteem, child wellness, and the human spirit. Environments where people who have experienced homelessness can live, learn and heal are needed in cities to front this issue.

On the West side of Coconut Grove, you will find a community that is diverse, welcoming, and aware of people’s struggles. Although experiencing the negative effects of gentrification, they can also be a model of inclusion and social support. Providing services effectively to this South Florida community in West Grove depends upon a “housing first model,” often referred to as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH).

Chronic Homelessness This is the most well known type of homelessness. Chronic homelessness is defined as being homeless for longer than a year. Many times, people struggling with chronic homeless have something that is preventing them from fighting their way out of it whether that be mental illness, a physical disability or addiction specifically. They are typically older people. Episodic Homelessness Episodic homelessness can turn in to chronic homelessness. It’s defined as a person that has experienced three episodes of homelessness within a given year. After four episodes within a year they are classified as chronically homeless. Episodic homelessness usually afflicts younger people that are fighting health issues or addiction. Transitional Homelessness This is one of the more common types of homelessness. This form of homelessness is defined as affecting a person that is going through a major life change or catastrophic event. Many times when people lose their jobs suddenly and unexpectedly they can face transitional homelessness while they look for a new job. Hidden Homelessness Hidden homelessness often goes unreported. These are individuals that are couch-surfing without immediate prospects for permanent housing. They will often rely on relatives or friends for a place to live. Since they never access homeless support resources they are never included in national statistics.

The lack of adequate care infrastructure for the unhoused is a major problem in American communities. Understanding the gaps, barriers and limitations in this system is imperative to providing homeless populations appropriate care. Analysis have revealed an extremely divided system between provision of health care and provision of social services to undeserved communities. Some solutions in order to provide more adequate care to the unhoused individuals are to provide necessary infrastructure to meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness, such as counseling services, support spaces, communal dining and kitchen, learning center, treatment center, and a clinic. By providing complementary service programs, we aid in their improvement to prepare them to reintegrate themselves back into society.

DESCRIPTION The Thelma Gibson Health Initiative (TGHI), founded in 2000, is a not-for-profit that is dedicated to improving lives in lowincome neighborhoods with programs for critical needs, better health, new skills, jobs, housing and economic stability. Thelma Gibson, its founder, grew up in West Coconut Grove, and for more than 50 years has been a spokesperson and advocate for education, mental and physical health, community leadership, and volunteer community service in MiamiDade County. TGHI owns properties at the southeast corner of Douglas Road and Grand Avenue, and they are seeking additional assemblages to grow their program and provide more affordable housing.

OPPORTUNITIES This location lends itself to multiple opportunities of receiving funding from different sources, like, tax increment revenues, could potentially play a role in the redevelopment of this buzzing intersection. The CRA should coordinate in identifying and facilitating appropriate funding sources, in collaboration with nonprofits and private property owners, thus, accomplishing the goals of affordable and mixed-use housing, improving neighborhood aesthetics, and alleviating gentrification.

13 | MISSING MIDDLE

MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING Thinking of the future, I began by understanding the existing building types, apartments, houses, stores, and institutions that exist today within the site and noticed that there’s a need for Missing Middle Housing. Missing Middle Housing helps solve the mismatch between the available housing stock and shifting demographics combined with the growing demand for walkability. It is primarily about the form and scale of these buildings, designed to provide more housing choices in low-rise walkable neighborhoods. Building different types of housing, will help to increase affordability by providing new ownership and rental opportunities. And building more densely, particularly in established neighborhoods, will also contribute to the sustainability of cities, by putting people within walking and cycling distance from workplaces, schools and other day-to-day needs.

PHASE 1

Living in a world that is constantly a changing environment and considering that the beginning stages of the CRA’s budget is limited, I am obliged to brainstorm for expansions and opportunities that would benefit the homeless population. The first phase involves transitioning an already existing building into the communal functions that would provide it’s residents access to tools and resources that would create a positive impact in their overall wellbeing. The second phase would consist of the initial stage of housing for the homeless, and the third phase would incorporate additional housing to the already existing buildings, thus, providing more housing opportunities to the community.

Communal Functions Community Resource Center

The main objective of this project is to develop a place where housing and greeneries create a platform for the meeting between locals and people without housing. Therefore, actively generating a positive visual contribution to the neighborhood and its surroundings. This goal will be achieved by transforming a vacant lot in West Grove into mid-rise affordable apartments. Followed by the availability of a back alley to serve as a green space for residents to gather and act as a vehicle for the interweaving of the communal areas right across, as well as providing access to the neighboring art gallery and community resource center.

PHASE 2

Communal Functions

The communal areas are designed to help the residents find serenity and purpose again. Offering a wide range of activities such as: community kitchens, dining spaces, offices, open work stations, and support services. Emphasizing the need for help within the community and therefore, improving their professional and social standing and allowing them to take care of their physical and mental health.

MUSIC FROZEN IN TIME ACADEMIC TERM: COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN STUDIO | SUMMER 2021 PROFESSOR: HENRY RUEDA TYPE: COMMUNITY CENTER & DANCE STUDIO SITE: HARLEM, NYC

22 | CONCEPT

PROJECT STATEMENT The project honors the life of Langston Hughes, a central figure in the Harlem Renaissance, by confronting racial, gender and social injustice in the 1930s. New York City contributed to the richness of jazz in many ways. The first piano style to be incorporated into jazz was “Harlem Stride” which was created during the Harlem Renaissance and helped to “blur the lines” between the poor negroes and socially elite negroes.

Today, Harlem is a large and ethnically diverse area, as a result, there has been a need for families of all types in the community to have a commonplace where they are free to express themselves through the arts, such as music and writing. Jazz, has been influenced by many types of music combining different rhythms. My goal is to use techniques found in music composition, such as rhythm, pattern, and repetition and implement them into architectural composition.

COMMUNITY CENTER A community center’s main purpose is to provide opportunities for active living and recreation in a safe, inclusive environment. By creating a positive atmosphere, these facilities become essential to personal health and wellness, thereby reducing reliance on healthcare and other costly social services. The community center offers children, youth, and families comprehensive, communitybased services and support. A cornerstone of the Harlem neighborhood, the center’s community garden and children playground offer kids safe recreational spaces, while the rest of the family enjoy the various event spaces that offer a variety of shows.

30 | CONCEPT

PROJECT STATEMENT Miami Beach offering a variety that goes far beyond sun and sand, encompassing worldfamous nightlife and world renowned art galleries, first-class hotels and second-to-none dining, designer shopping and a unique architectural style that makes it one of the world’s most visually distinctive regions, is filled with squalid character-like back alleys. To revive the setting, looking at the future of living, I thought of how can integration of robotics with architecture allow us to rethink flexible typologies and how would spatial investigations create new artist and exhibition spaces? For a flexible system that changes to create a unique spatial experience in Miami Beach’s back alleys.

40 | CONCEPT

PROJECT STATEMENT Miami, being the second largest city in Florida, is known for its rich heritage and many cultural influences. Arts and culture have been a centerpiece of Miami’s transformation for more than a decade, reconstructing Miami in a myriad of ways, including creatively activating parts of the city that may have once been largely industrial. Deriving from an important part of biological and geological beach process, a seashell, which is composed of a decorative pattern, curvatures, and a natural spiraling form, is what generated the form of my pavilions. The art pavilions include areas of exhibition of the artwork as well

180° Arc Radius

as engaging directly with the water. The pavilions also propose a critical engagement of “ground” so we can envision a topology other than the typical flatness prevalent throughout Miami, taking into account the possible views from the pier. Following the characteristics of the seashell, pavilions were developed throughout South Pointe Pier Park exploring the possibilities that can be derived from the analysis of shell morphology. Thus, generating a series of pavilions showcasing the variations that can emerge from a series of curvatures and twists.

GENERATING THE SHAPE

GENERATING HORIZONTAL SHAPE

Set the first arc on the XY plane

Generate the two arcs on XY

Select the tallest first and last curvature that was created.

Flip plane by 180˚

Draw second arc exactly half of the first arc.

Divide them into 60 and create an arc for each point on the big arc to match the opposite point on the small arc.

Divide both arcs in 60 equilateral

Set the height of each curvature by getting the tangent curve of the initial big and small arc.

Are the points equally distanced? No

Discard points and start over.

Yes

Create arc to the opposite point setting the height to the set variable.

Increase height variable

Pipe each curvature

Focusing on providing the best place for everyone, the use of color on the pavilions was intended to correlate with Miami’s diversity while also enhancing everyone’s experience as they stroll through South Pointe Pier Park. The pavilions are placed corresponding to each curved walkway, surrounding the serpentine mound offering a contrast to the strict linear geometry of the setting. Strategically located so that people can connect through the pavilions and tunnels to get to the other side of the mound.
