AGRICULTURAL ULTURAL CENT CENTER TRIANGULATION COURSE ALA 225 - Design Fundamentals III DATE Fall 2008 PROFESSOR Juan Brenes-Garcia DESCRIPTION This dry desert landscape is transformed into an aesthetic park, rich with culture and history. This park will be used to bring the local community together and to educate them through interaction with regional agriculture.

This is accomplished through a multi-program site consisting of an agricultural center, a farmers market, a series of gathering spaces, and a system of paths that connect all of these programs together creating a holistic emersion in sustainable agriculture for each visitor.

The site is transformed into a series of fields with varying plants historically grown in Arizona. The produce grown on the site can be harvested by the site’s visitors and/or sold at the farmers market contributing to a more sustainable city.

BUILDING ING DESIGN

DESCRIPTION The concept for this agricultural center was to create a symbolic landmark for this site. This was accomplished through materiality and form. The walls are rammed earth and exude solidarity. The multi-faceted roof reaches out to the surrounding context of the site, reflective of the mission of the center: to bring the local community together to interact with agriculture.

PROGRAM The site design called for an agricultural center & art museum. There will be classes offered to the community featuring topics relative to the region.

CANAL LDESIGN BRIDG BRIDGE PURPOSE The most unique aspect of this site is that the grand canal runs through the southern length of it. There is a rare opportunity here to celebrate water in the desert and reflect on the history of the site. This is accomplished through a pedstrian friendly bridge and a serene path that traverses along the canal.

DESCRIPTION The bridge utilizes a simple structural design and incorporates shade structures throughout it to slow traffic, provide shade and create views over the canal.

Each bridge has two pop-out areas for a visitor to stop and appreciate the beauty of water in the desert.

FORM The bridge form is reflective of the site layout in that it breaks a mundane grid structure through a series of triangulating forms meant to emphasize the landscape.

LOW-INCOME NCOME HOUS HOUSING RE-STITCHING COURSE ADE 321 - Architectural Studio I DATE Fall 2009 PROFESSOR Wendell Burnett DESCRIPTION This project is set in the Harmon neighborhood in Phoenix which is one of the lowest-income communities in the state.

The need for well designed, affordable housing is evident.

The Re-Stitching House takes advantage of an efficient yet very open floor plan and a hybrid pre-fab construction method to lower the building cost significantly.

The design of the Re-Stitching House engages the Harmon community through its outward reaching form and its revitalized front porch that becomes an outside room for interaction.

The interior utilizes an open floor plan to connect the front porch to the back patio that is shared with an effeciency unit at the back of the lot. This connects the families on the lot to each other and to the community as a whole.

WATERSCAPE RSCAPE MODU MODULE FLUID MOTION COURSE ADE 322 - Architectural Studio II DATE Spring 2010 PROFESSOR David Newton ISSUE Our culture - here in the Arizona desert - largely underappreciates water’s essential value for our sustained life. We take it for granted. Water is not valued as it should be.

PROPOSAL This module design seeks to celebrate the beauty of water in motion. There are three distinct concrete modules: floor, ceiling and wall. While each serves a different function, all three are used to transport water from the roof into little pools in the floor when it is raining or being used as a water feature. These modules are combined into a sectional study to explore the effects that a single module with variants can make in a space to celebrate water in the desert.

PROJECT SUMMARY Our studio designed and fabricated two Camera Obscuras for the Scottsdale Arts Festival. The design was led by Jason Griffiths with input from local artist Julie Anand. The team consisted of seven architecture students. I worked in conjuction with one other student on the digital design.

DESIGN These structures are windowless, blank forms of opaque walls that rely on the mystery of a darkened, unseen interior. or.

To heighten this mystery, the exterior is clad in a polished aluminum that reflects the unassuming viewer’s image back k onto himself. This makes the viewer the object of the view, which is further enhanced when he steps inside the Camera ra Obscura and realizes that he was the object the entire time. e.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN A complex parametric definition was created to quickly generate a Camera Obscura of any size or proportion.

This definition also provides bending and cutting sheets for each model that is generated, making it possible for fast yet precise fabrication for multiple variations.

SCREEN N WALL FA FABRICATION THE SPINE COURSE ANP 598 - Fabricating Information DATE Fall 2010 PROFESSOR David Newton DESCRIPTION This screen wall was designed in conjunction with Geoff Olson for the final project in ANP 598.

The concept for this project was overlapping sections - much like the vertebrae in a spine.The design was developed using the constraints of the material as well as of the CNC router. By taking the 4’x4’x6” limit of the CNC router, we first began by drawing a simple line and then bending at every 2’. This process was then repeated - bending the line at every 1’ and was continued for a total of 4 times. These lines became 2” strips of MDF and were then spaced every 1/2” to create a varying level of transparency. These created wall panels that can be configured in multiple different ways to create unique forms each time if desired.

SHADE EAPONOGETON TYPOLOGY COURSE ANP 494 - Parametric Modeling & Scripting DATE Spring 2011 PROFESSOR David Newton PROJECT SUMMARY This shade structure typology was designed in collaboration with Grant McCormick. We were asked to design a performative canopy shade structure that utilizes parametric modeling, biomimicry and digital fabrication for its design.

DESIGN The parametric definition for the Aponogeton’s structure and form is based on the leaf of an underwater plant of the same name. This definition mimics the intricate lattice-like veins of the plant’s leaves in order to create a pipe structure “leaf” that transports harvested rainwater and cools the shade screen from this collected water supply. The vornoi pattern was used to create a plan for multiple, connecting shade structures, each with five of these parametric “leaves”.

Monrovia, Liberia Summer 2010 Engineering Ministries International (EMI) UK Design, Drawings, Renderings & 3d Animation concrete footpaths

PROJECT SUMMARY The Cluster Homes design was part of a large scale master plan for the African Dream Academy (ADA). The large project included a K-12 school, gymnasium, office buildings and orphanage. I led the Orphan Homes design in collaboration with the lead architect and structural engineer.

DESIGN The primary objective for the Cluster Homes proposal was to provide a quality environment to nurture & rehabilitate orphans within Liberia. The design has been driven by this desire and provides a very sensitive and practical environment, in which African Dream Academy can fulfill their vision to love and care for these children.

floor plan perspective

THEORY In war-torn Liberia, many orphans have had very traumatic experiences and will often arrive at this orphan home having withdrawn completely from society.

The concept of the Cluster Housing revolves around the idea that these children need to be carefully nurtured in a suitable environment that will encourage rehabilitation before they can be reintroduced into society. The architecture plays a critical role in this process. The design provides a hierarchy of spaces, with a gradual transition from private to public. As the children slowly become accustomed to their room, their house, their cluster, the group of clusters and finally the school, there will be the opportunity for them to gradually grow in confidence and to develop a new perspective on life.

The goal is to enable them to fully integrate with society by the time they graduate from the school that is also on the African Dream Academy campus.
