A VIEW ACROSS THE RIVER TO THE LIFELINE LIFELINE: someone or something depends on or which provides a ESTUARY: the tidal mouth of a river. The Rio Salado being just a means of support. Key moments of intermittent life along the river from storm and waste drainage from surrounding communities.
fragment of what it is meant to be, the lifelines become the new estuary and points where water enters.
CONCEPT:
Re-thinking the way city and storm drainage enters the riverbed, the health of the river ecosystem improves as well as providing a much needed amenity through its latent potential of providing life to the non-existent river. By focusing on rehabilitating the LIFELINES the presence of water + shade draws the community to the river, mutually benefiting both entities. Extending these lifelines into the surrounding communities as ARTERIES it helps disrupt the existing industrial barriers along the river bank and breaking down the hard urban conditions unsuitable for pedestrians. These lifelines become the initial spark for future sustainable development. Existing nodes along the arterial lines engage users along all major points to access and engage the river. Each of these nodes corresponds to the existing urban conditions and encourages future development beneficial for the Rio Salado Ecosystem: Ecology and People.

Thunderbird School of Global Management
In a thriving downtown core, the new structure captures the essence of a spacious suburban campus in an urban, vertical campus in the heart of Phoenix. The central spherical atrium rises four floors, creating visual connectivity across all programs. Passageways aligned to the surrounding urban fabric slice through the mass surrounding the atrium creating dramatic, canyon-esque entryways. On the fifth floor, a lush rooftop garden serves as a communal gathering space and a patio for the Thunderbird Pub that occupies the other half of the floor.

CULTIVATE
CONTEXT MAP
The approach that I am making towards this project revolves around CULTIVATING the existing community by adding infill developments that fit well with the surrounding context. The key elements that I have utilized that help with cultivating are affordability, a sense of community and a good quality of life. All to often affordable housing projects miss the target on providing a sense of community while being affordable. NEXUS will provide this by having community gardens, communal gathering spaces, private backyards and patio spaces. A sense of pride and responsibility will exist at Nexus. The housing units are constructed with a modular system of 8’x16’ and 16’x16’ blocks that could be arranged as a studio/1 story, 1 bedroom/1 story , and 2 bedroom/2 story. The design is very simple, yet contemporary and pays respects to the southwest style.

C-CAST Precast Concrete Cantilevered C-Channels
CONTEXT Phoenix, and by extent the rest of the southwestern United States, was an early innovator in precast concrete building systems, able to cast year round and invent new types of blocking. This research center stands for a new era of precast experimentation, the building itself employing precast cantilevers to extend outward and spread new techniques for a new era of precast building. CONCEPT The form of the project takes a cue from the wings of the current Art Warehouse building, and frees them from their constraints on the ground, allowing the workspaces to stretch outwards towards The Design School and the School of Art. To achieve this structurally, the elements of a crane manage the weight and secure the pieces in the air.

The Industrial Theater THEATER IN THE ROUND The strength of the existing structure’s design is in its central courtyard. The existing courtyard is kept empty so that each wing of the building is able to temporarily take over the center. The courtyard acts as a “stage”; it is an empty vessel for an infinite variety of functions. Our design chooses to superimpose this stage with all of the mechanical components that would be found in a theater: rigging, some operable walls, a hoist, and places from which to view the activity. The new program, which involves design and drafting, is suspended above the old program, which involves fabrication.
A SYNTACTIC SYSTEM OF SUPERIMPOSITION
Each main building element, a truss, a roof, a room, a catwalk, is broken down into units which can be prefabricated and then transported to the site.
ABSTRACT: The economic viability of precast concrete is incumbent upon the reuse of moulds, and hence, the use of repetition in building design.
The rules which govern the repetition of these units create a syntactic framework which can be applied to any existing building;
New projects can be imagined and realized quickly when their main components are pre-fabricated and then reticulated in new ways.
Each unit is designed so that it can be connected (through post-tensioning)laterally to another unit of the same type, or to the larger skeletal framework which supports it.
Our team views this repetition as the basis for a sophisticated, yet simple modular framework through which a new symbiotic program can superimpose and enhance existing structures and the day-to-day activities housed inside them.

existing site conditions : Situated on the coast of Point Loma, California, this coastal habitat belongs to Sunset Cliffs Natural Park.
With its rich ecology and beautiful scenery, the site naturally offers a series of moments, each with their own unique spatial qualities: clearings that vary in size, tunnels formed from dense overgrowth, a complex topography with hills that offer panoramic ocean views, and valleys that provide intimate gathering points.
Currently, this natural park is inaccessible to the community due to heavy runoff and lack of infrastructure.

proposed infrastructure : In a sensitive response to the captivating landscape and existing site conditions, this project provides a fragmented infrastructure that aims to facilitate and enhance the interaction between visitor and park.
Referencing the naturally occuring spaces and views provided by the site, the architecture works in harmony with the rigid topography, materializing as either path, bridge, or gathering point. This infrastructure gestures visitors inward and guides them through the full park experience without restricting opportuny for further exploration.
In this way, the project is not about a rigid program of predetermined events. Rather, it becomes a shared space that enhances and emphasizes what is already there in the hope of fostering empathy and appreciation for the landscape and fellow visitors.

at the beginning of the semester, we were asked to redesign the relationship between public service (dmv) and public space. this project is located in little italy, San Diego with a site that is only 100ft by 100ft. for the project, I decided to open up the public service (dmv) to the public. the purpose of the design is to delete or at least blur the boundary between the public service and public space. essentially most of the design is open to the regular public, even most parts of the dmv.

the platforms can serve as a waiting area for the dmv but also as a hang-out space for people visiting the site. to have activity in all of them I added a coffee place and a daycare on the top platform. this brings activity in the ground as well as in the platforms.

there is a market happening on Ceddar street every weekend. In order to attract people to the site, I allow food trucks to come in and in that way the site becomes an informal gathering space.
