RESILIENCY CENTER

San Rafael Community Green House and Food Pantry

The community center in San Rafael, built on bay fill in a food insecure and flood-prone area, focuses on three main aspects of resiliency: seismic resiliency, flood resiliency, and food security. The building a steel frame structure on concrete piles for foundation stability. The steel structure is braced throughout for seismic stability. The building’s general program is divided into two with the greenhouse bridging the general programs on the second level allowing for the food pantry activity to happen under. The building form uses a gable roof typology that optimizes solar gain for the greenhouse.

MAIN STREET

Charlotte Multicultural Center

The Cultural Center considers a relationship with the existing arts district in Charlotte to create an active territory for indoor /outdoor spaces where people can meet, design, and learn about sustainability. The cultural center invites visitors to immediately feel a diverse sense of place created by open plazas, local retail, public art, and cultural activities that connect people with their passions. An atrium running through the building creates a place for social interaction, reflecting the attitude of the main street of the nearby arts district neighborhood of North Davidson.

Program and Building Design

The Eco-Regional Cultural Center is home to a diverse set of programs that include offices, studio space, classrooms, a small auditorium, and a restaurant that has a view to the Uptown district. The variety of applications in the building, as well as the various spatial qualities, ensures that the building will be able to outlast its current program and will be flexible to program changes in the future. The open atrium serves to connect the building and become a place where both occupants of the building and people passing through the site can intermingle. The pockets of resting space within the atrium provide for places where people circulating through the area can stop to relax and enjoy the shade provided by the overhead louver system.

PRIDE POINT

Pride point is an urban design proposal for Candle Stick Point in SF including an archeology museum to be positioned and designed somewhere on the site. The proposal focuses on the lack of connectivity and accessibility throughout the site. Rather than developing a plan that will bring in outside companies and subsequently people into the area, which would lead to the gentrification of this lower-income neighborhood, the proposal focuses on the lack of resources and connection to the waterfront that the current residents face. An infrastructural network is used to connect current neighborhoods to different parts of the site as well as the waterfront. Pop-up shops and start-ups created by people in the local community are designed to appendage to the infrastructural paths. Distributed along with one of the main sections of the network, the history museum creates interventions that disturb the circulation, making the passerby view particular areas of the broader site that are of historical significance to the existing community. These museum installations serve as a reminder for visitors of the site that the history, legacy, and occupation of the existing community are to be preserved.

19 Rockridge Affordable Housing Development

THE RIPPLE

ROCKRIDGE AFFORADBLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

The Ripple is a 100% affordable housing development located on two parcels adjacent to the Rockridge BART station. It consists of two buildings: a 126 unit multi-family building and a 45 unit LGBTQ-affirming senior building. Twenty-six percent of units are set aside for formerly homeless families. Operated by Mercy Housing, the Ripple provides housing for households earning 30-60% AMI, with an average building AMI of 44.7%.

FINDING THE VOIDS

“Finding the Voids” is designed as a microcosm of the city Dallas. Inspired by Perry Kulper, the warehouse treated the project as a free plan, mapping the programmatic spaces throughout the project. While scaled based on area requirements, the occupiable pavilions trace contours through the formal layers of the programmatic relational, structural, and the columnar system to establish its form aesthetic. These business occupancy areas create voids within a dense fabric of shelving units. Conceptually, the pavilions represent the significant monuments/ buildings in the city of Dallas that are voids in the mundane sprawl of the city. The path running through the building is a metaphor for the Trinity River in Dallas, cutting through the grid of the city.

All GENDERS WELCOME

Bathroom Exhibit to Advocate and Inform the Public on Gender Neutral Restooms

The bathroom installation was a group effort of multiple individuals in QED (Queers in Environmental Design) and funded by a CED Diversity Platform Grant. The purpose of the installation was to inform the public on the importance of gender-neutral restrooms. The outside of the exhibit consisted of research of local and global design precedents for gender-neutral bathrooms while the inside displayed student’s experiences with the lack of gender-neutral/ gender accessible restrooms in the CED. The exhibit itself was designed in the size of an ADA complaint gender neural bathroom stall. Leading the design and construction of the exhibit, I made it so that the exhibit was comprised of prefabricated panels that could be easily assembled and disassembled on site.

ALMOST SOMEWHERE

Master’s Thesis: Adaptive Re-Use of Newport’s Gas Stations

The thesis project is situated in a post-petroleum future where most gas station are becoming abandoned and obsolete The project takes the twelve gas stations and creates networks of new programs and resources to help bridge the divide. Paint on the surface of the asphalt, defined by the previous circulation of the car is used as locators, helping to define and identify these new programmatic territories. Three gas stations in the territory in the top right were chosen to be developed. Since all of the sites are designated as contaminated brownfields, the design starts with the remediating the site through excavating the contaminated soil and petroleum storage tanks This territory consists of tree programs: A skate park, a playscape, and a public health clinic. The automobile circulation lines not only act as locators but are also used to carve the site and organize the design’s program.

SKATE PARK

Master’s Thesis: Adaptive Re-Use of Newport’s Gas Stations

The first site, the skate park, uses the old circulation of the car to define the circulatory elements for the skate park. Areas where this doesn’t happen, the site’s asphalt is carved out to expose the ground underneath, allowing for local plant life to populate and reclaim the site. This reclamation is extended to the canopy where vegetation grows on top of and in the canopy structure. The designs look to reappropriate and reuse as much of the existing conditions as possible. The excavation produces a dynamic slope for skating while the recycled storage tank is repurposed into a halfpipe.

PLAYSCAPE

Master’s Thesis: Adaptive Re-Use of Newport’s Gas Stations

The second site, the playscape, related to the skate park through its active associations also redefines the notion of circulation on the site by allowing access to the canopy and creating multiple elements for climbing and sliding. A slide from the top of the canopy made of recycled storage takes goes into a pool generated from the site remediation. The brick structure underneath the canopy is turned into a trampoline, while the canopy’s cladding is cut away to allow jumpers to pass through the structure. Contaminated soil is contained with a lining, and planted over, creating mounds along the site’s edge for children to play on.

PUBLIC CLINIC

Master’s Thesis: Adaptive Re-Use of Newport’s Gas Stations

The third site, the public health clinic, uses the canopy for solar PVs which give energy to the medical equipment. If a user of the skate park or the playscape got hurt, they could quickly access the care they need. The program includes a drive through testing station in pandemic situations, quick general care, and areas for sanitation made from the recycled storage takes. Because healthcare architecture tends to be opaque and daunting, the design through the use of breaking down the brick structure and locating the general care under the canopy attempts to increase the feeling of accessibility.
