orth California Corridor Revitalization
Instructor: Kim Suczynski Smith Planning Studio: Spring 2013 Institution: University of California, Berkeley Location: Walnut Creek, California Objective
The City of Walnut Creek is in the process of re-envisioning the West Downtown area. This proposal aims to take advantage of the opportunity and envisions North California Boulevard as a pedestrian-oriented corridor that seeks to enhance connections and meet the needs of nearby residents, office workers, and BART shoppers.

ar-Free Tropical City
Instructor: Prof. Kai Axhausen Future Cities: Networks and Grammars: Summer 2013 Institution: ETH Z端rich Future Cities Laboratory Location: Tampines, Singapore Vision
Design of a car-free tropical city in Singapore calls for a modular architecture layout throughout the whole project site in order to achieve a heterogenous street atmosphere. Disorderly modeling of units allows for voids and functional spaces to enhance a monotonous grid structure. Urban grammars and transportation network synchronization play a vital part in ensuring the accessibility and urbanity of the new cluster. Buildings, streets and layout coincide with and complement pedestrian movement around the city.
U
.S-Mexico Border Study
Instructor: Prof. Michael Dear Senior Thesis: Summer 2012 Institution: University of California, Berkeley Location: San Francisco, California Research Goal
This research sought to investigate the concept of colonias as the Third World phenomenon of informalities on the edge of First World territories. The journey began in the summer of 2012 when I received the Judith Lee Stronach Summer Travel Scholarship to explore poor migrant settlements near the U.S.-Mexico border. During my travels, I drove along the U.S.-Mexico border through the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to study this phenomenon of underdevelopment.

he invisible Border in San Francisco’s Mission District Instructor: Prof. Michael Dear Senior Thesis Poster: Spring 2013 Institution: University of California, Berkeley Location: San Francisco, California Research Goal
Aesthetic, social and economic differences persist in urban environments despite the presence of any physical barriers. The goal of the research is to identify and visualize the “invisible border,” which hypotheticaly delineates the imaginary line evident in San Francisco’s Mission District, presumably between Valencia and Mission street corridors. Historical research, census analysis, field observations and GIS modeling are techniques used to confirm the hypothesis, that there is an “invisible border,” splitting the neighborhood into “new” and “old” Missions. The “invisible border,” although permeable and dynamic, is an effective barrier, which impedes neighborhood gentrification, cultural assimilation and social fabric disruption.

an Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) Analysis Supervisor: Javier del Castillo Internship Project: Spring 2013 Institution: San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission Location: San Francisco, California Objective
The main goal of the project is to conduct BCDC’s Profile Study based on the permit data available in organization’s GIS database. The posters aim to summarize the organization’s 44 years of accomplishments, show current trends and display data in a publicly friendly format. Also, summary of facts from the Bay Plan and Bay area relevant to BCDC’s sphere of influence are info-graphed for a quick reference.
