Memory: A Passage Through Time

A. North-South Elevation
Historically, cemeteries were treated more as parks and places where people could go picnic and spend time with their families living and deceased. Now cemeteries are mostly barren and only visited occasionally with it being a solemn affair. Many gravestones over time have degraded with the engravings no longer visible, and the people who once visited passed on. With this in mind, I wanted to create a design that once again brings life and a sense of remembrance back to this desolate place while still respecting the peace of the past. The large black granite wall with all the engravings of the names of the deceased originally on site serving as a remembrance. The building, offset to the wall, directs people from the lively park to the quiet graves in the west. More could have been done in my design to create a greater sense of connectivity between the two, as I look back on my project. There is still a large gap between what is “living” and what is “dead.”

Public: Connectivity
This project was to design a Department of Motor Vehicles along with a public market, challenging me to question my perception of public services and public spaces. Public spaces and public services are intended to cater to the needs of the people, yet there is a noticeable distinction in people’s attitudes towards the two, the former seemingly less restrictive than the later. I wanted to focus on changing the experience of the DMV as a public service facility into a more interactive and open public space, so that the people using the space can feel as though it is a place for them rather than for the government. The design of a community garden is integrated with the parking so that it may be accessed throughout most of the site and allows for greater interaction with the diverse community around the neighborhood. While the openness of my design allows for more freedom of movement and transparency for the public, I cannot guarantee that it will be the most effective public service facility even if the intention is to give the public a greater sense of place.

Phoenix 2070: Shade City
Set 50 years into the future, this project focused on envisioning the condition of Phoenix in 2070 and creating a city for 5,000 residents. The projected data of Phoenix, Arizona compiled by the class included extreme heat rises up to 117 degrees fahrenheit on average and population increasing up to four times the current amount. My design involved a large roof covering the entire site and supported by large housing towers. This roof is intended to create a cooler microclimate underneath to combat the extreme heat to allow for a more livable environment. The roof also has multiple concavities located over the towers in order to collect and store the large amounts of precipitation during the monsoon season. The raised corridors also allow the residents to travel to different towers and programmatic elements within the spherical units without having to go all the way down the towers before going to another tower.
While the roof is a major design element of my project, I only intended for it to be used as a cooling and water collecting mechanism. I realize that this would be underutilizing the roof that I designed to be 30 feet high. Another purpose to utilize the roof more effectively could be to create an agricultural system within the structure to allow for the residents to be more self-sustaining.

Honors Thesis: Storytelling and Techn
nology in Architecture
Introduction to Project
Initial Schemes and M
For my thesis project, I worked with Professor Catherine Spellman and Professor Claudio Vekstein in my Spring 2019 Architectural Studio 4 class to incorporate my research on storytelling, technology, and architecture into a design for my project. The project is set on the ASU Tonto Creek Camp site and will focus on working collaboratively with other students, faculty, and professionals to create innovative design strategies based on certain project constraints within the three phases of the project. Using film as a technological medium for the storytelling of the studio’s work, I documented, interviewed, and edited a short film that followed the process and evolution of the entire studio throughout the entire design process. Starting from how the story of the site influenced the students designs to the presentation of their designs through their narrative. As part of the studio, I also created a structural model for a renovation of one of the oldest structures on the site. My concept involved the preservation of the timber form while adding an extended patio space towards the east in the direction of the river and the morning sun.
