CAPP STREET FLEX BLOCK U RB AN D ESIG N S T UD I O Mission District, San Francisco, CA \\ How can public schools relate to public space in the face of private development? Divided by moveable walls and subtle elevational shifts, a simple series of planes are connected to accomodate a set of distinct and flexible public territories—an elementary school, subway station, private residential development, and commercial retail spaces. To push back against gentrification processes while embracing private development, the entire city block is treated as a dynamic hybrid space to accomodate a multitude of civic identities and activities centered around public use. Mass agave plantings and light colors reflect the unique ecological character of the Mission District’s relatively warm and sunny condition.

QUARRY SHORES SECOND
PLACE
20 15 VER T ICAL C I T I E S A S I A C OM P E T I TI ON Paya Lebar Air Base, Singapore \\ How can 1 square kilometer sustainably house 100,000 people? A quarry is phased to become a water catchment which serves Singapore with locally sourced sand, water, and urban character. The concept is inspired by Singapore’s history of rapid development and consequent loss of 80 percent of its mangroves in the past century. The proposal is illustrated by a sectional series to emphasize the dynamic and ever-changing future of Singapore while questioning its production of nation, culture, and land. In collaboration with Micaela Bazo, Kasey Elliot, Miles Stemper, Jason Palaez, Yasir Hameed, Grace Witanto

COMBUSTIBLE
LANDSCAPES
Puente Hills, CA \\ How can designers incorporate the urban process of combustion with the wildland urban interface? To rethink fire within a broader urban system of combustion in the landscape, this project reframes combustible landscapes through fire simulation modeling, land management planning, and site design for an Outdoor Museum of Contermporary Combustion. The proposed museum bridges artifical and natural modes of urban combustion through spatial story-telling along a trail in the Puente Hills of Los Angeles County. The museum serves as an interface between local residents and the combustible landscape. Advisors - Louise Mozingo, Marco Cenzatti, John Radke

OCEAN BEACH PLAY WALL FIRST
PLACE
20 16 T H O M A S C HUR C H M E MOR I A L C OMPETI TI ON Ocean Beach Sea Wall, San Francisco, CA \\ How can historic infrastructure be retrofitted to serve contemporary public needs? The Ocean Beach Play Wall offers a series of playful reimaginings with reference to the historic Ocean Beach Playland. The wall is retrofitted to support active play and kinetic motion—slide, skate, swim, and bike! A limited materials palette of wood, steel, concrete, and soft grasses is employed to play off of the unique ephemeral atmosphere of fog and cold winds of Ocean Beach.

PETALUMA TRANSIT STATION ECOLOGICAL
DESIGN
STUDIO
Petaluma, CA \\ How will sea level rise affect the future of urban waterfront development? The design proposes a series of connected open spaces consisting of playful elevational changes. The grading concept accomodates sea level rise and storm surge projections while introducing continuous mounds and ramps on shore as an experiential change in what is currently, for the most part, flat terrain. The result is a community-centered transit station that houses skate ramps, ADA accessible pathways, grass slopes for play, and a rooftop garden that is connected to the ground plane via a terraced amphitheater. The tacit playground is a place for community members to engage with the serious future of sea level rise in a playful and positive way.
