ENDEAVOUR NOSE BOOLEAN AND PANELS
UNROLLED PANEL SYSTEM
This proposal for an Endeavour museum utilizes the space outside the California Science Center and houses a collection of research materials, prototypes, suits, and other new technologies developed by NASA. In addition to the shuttle the museum holds other aircraft and documents developments, progress, and breakthroughs in the aerospace industry. The overall design of the museum mimics the look of the Endeavour, using a similar panelization system to create shells that respond to the needs of the museum.

Panels hinge away from the shell to let in natural light and are also used to shield aircraft and art pieces within from direct sunlight. They further act as a way to create a sense of suspense throughout the museum due to how they hide certain portions of the museum when seen at different angles.
The Endeavour acts as the centerpiece of the collection and is the heart of the museum. It is embedded into the ground plane, with half of the shuttle visible at eye level and the other half (including the wings) located underground so that vistors can view the shuttle from a bird’s eye perspective
Neiman Marcus Falconry Companion designed by Richard Wrightman Design, Ken Hooke, Alexandra Llewellyn, and David Linley, commissioned by BespokeGlobal
The trunk holds the other items of the collection and fits perfectly into an Escalade. Created with oiled walnut and fine full-grained leather.
The falcon transport case is designed to keep a falcon comfortable while being moved. It follows the design aesthetic of the trunk.
Richard Wrightman’s signature Chatwin Chair easily deconstructs to fit inside the trunk and is lightweight.
The folding table is lightweight and also comes apart to fit within the trunk. It comfortaly serves 4 people or 2 people engaged in a game of Backgammon on the beautiful board designed by Alexandra Llewellyn.
This spa is placed near the Zzyzx Research Laboratory to build upon the existing community of Zzyzx. It’s placement on a hill offers a vantage point to view the beautiful Mojave Desert horizon and integrates its many SITE pools into theCONTEXT landscape itself. The form is inspired by rattelsnakes found in the desert and the scale pattern and sensuous curves are used for aesthetic purposes as well as practical purposes. The scale system is used to direct ’s natural attraction to cold surfaces. All the curves facilitate water to be concentrated in the ground and be used at a later time in the hot desert.

LA RIVER RETAIL CENTER Utilizing the embankment on the LA River between Broadway and Spring this project creates urban intrigue by creating a retail corridor flanked by gathering spaces for shoppers and making river observation spaces along its eastern facade. An open shell is used to protect the site from the environment as well as engaging the local wildlife of the river, predominanatly birds, to interact with the structure. The shell attracts birds and becomes a spectacle for shoppers without disturbing them.
