S.F. GOOD FOOD: EARTH, HEARTH, HEART THE S.F. GOOD FOOD BUILDING IS A AMALGAMATION OF FOOD-RELATED PROGRAMS centered on AWARENESS, APPRECIATION, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH to promote FRESH, healthy and local food production. “EARTH, HEARTH, HEART” traces the production of food from the roof gardens, to the incubation kitchens, and finally to CONSUMERS IN THE FOOD HALL.

SECTION A-A” OF POTRERO HILL LIBRARY
POTRERO HILL LIBRARY: STRIATION a redesign of the existing library, this potrero hill library proposal is based off of the multi-level qualities of the sequence stair as well as the striated, cavernous spatial characteristics of the double negative. erosion of mass in 1-foot striations creates unique spaces with stepped wall and floor conditions to facilitate vertical movement, the storage of books, and wide variations in ceiling heights.

double negative explored the concept of how two or more voids can intersect to generate a third, new space or condition. My double negative drew from the forms of montaged stairs and paths and translated into a stepped model with a cavern-like third space.

ThIS SERIES OF drawings blends sustainability with innovation to explore the RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN form, SPATIAL ORGANIZATION, structure, envelope, and performance THROUGH THE DESIGN OF A HYPOTHETICAL BUILDING SECTION. THE DESIGN INCORPORATES a dynamic facade of tessellated fins that rotate on three axes to open and allow variability of air flow and sunlight.

study sketches
THIS structural design-build IS a ready-to-assemble playhouse with high seismic, wind, and gravitational load-carrying capabilities. The design makes use of triangulated members connected by ring-joints to create an inhabitable climbing structure with an interior and exterior ring of columns that lean in opposite orientations to balance the internal forces created by the cantilevered balcony.

This PRECEDENT study of the FRIEDRICHSTRASSE 40 office building in berlin analyzes the two solar mediation strategies of the spaces that enabled maximum use of daylight while minimizing glare and solar heat gain, complementary to the form and program.

CASE STUDY HOUSE NO. 21
SPLIT SECTIONAL MODEL
the case study house no. 21 was a group CASE STUDY focused on generating plans, sections, and detail drawings in autocad, to understand the structural considerations of design and relationships between building and topography. From the studies, a detailed SCALE representation of the home WAS THEN MODELED FROM BASSWOOD AND CARDBOARD.
