P o e t ry Architecture is the presence of a contingent the capturing of a moment a moment in time. Like a shadow elucidates light it is the instant, the moment. This very moment where all is seized is the essence of architecture.

This project was to design and fabricate an all wood stool, having no less than two and no more than three points of contact to the ground. A minimum of two joinery types was required. It is constructed of African Mahogany wood [Sapele]. Visible finger joints are the connection between the seat and legs. The legs are connected with domino joinery. The use of organic shapes and delicate curves expresses the chair with an elegant design, allowing it to function as a bar stool, a work chair, or ornamental art.

END TABLE
Through creative sketching and 3D modeling, a cantilevering end table was designed. While not exceeding 5 cubic feet of space, the table was conceived to remove the minimum of space from the volume of a room. Just as air flows around and through buildings, it flows around and through the objects within. Sometimes we are the objects within, often we are that which flows through. In designing for an innovative furniture piece, one must understand the link between human form and the architectural environment. The finished table is constructed of African Hardwood [Merbau] and frost-white plexiglas.

This project proposes to design new spaces and pedestrian paths throughout an old cemetary without, however, disrupting the visible and undetected graves. This addition consists of new social spaces, seating and viewing areas, storage and a multifunctional indoor/outdoor space for lectures, performances and receptions. This is achieved by a carefully connected assembly of elevated decks and sloping pathways. The intervention consists of five decks which are elevated at two varying levels to accommodate the varying ground slope and control the water flow direction of the rainwater catchment system engineered beneath the decks.

AN INTERACTIVE URBAN INSTALLATION

Located in Copenhagen, Denmark, Block 24 is an inteactive pavillion. It is composed of a number of wooden volumes in which the negative space creates the experience. Placed on an extruded surface, each volume is moveable at the users choice. The pavillion is set on a track system allowing each volume to move a set distance. Thus creating a variation of open and intimate spaces within. The concept was inspires by the Danish Philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard and his theories on humans and time. As we go about our existence, we are always rushing to finish the task that we forget to experience that which is happening now.
Lighting Sculpture Enclosed inside glass is the central illumination point. A lighting sculpture at the heart of the pavillion.
Glass Enclosure The light is filtered and encolsed by semi-opaque glass. This allows for controlled direct and indirect lighting.
Solid Wood Masses + Seating The inner wooden masses are solid wood panneling. They create a more intimate space at the core of the pavillion and provide a unique seating experience.
Open-Pannel Wood Masses The outer wooden masses are open wood panneling where partial transparency is achieved. They create a lightweight and open feel at the outer edge of the pavillion to create experiential spaces and circulation.

This project is a conceptual architectural skin, responsive to various natural stimuli. Through biomimicry of animal print and cell patterns, the skin is adaptive to a specific environment as well as beauty of nature for intimate attraction. Visual and functional cellular forms create a responsive skin in a tropical climate. The radial symmetry of the hexagonal shape allows for pannels to rotate in response to air flow. A variation of sizes allow for ventilation and sunlight control for shading and directional lighting.

ROTATING CELLS Inner cells rotate for shading as solar is the reactor
CONTRACTING CELLS Cell size gets smaller as human interaction gets closer
NATURAL Instructor: Luis Longhi Spring 12 Student Work
MANIPULATION
This project began as a manipulation of an object in nature as inspiration for built form. Using artificial materials, an evolution of forms were created. To find a balance among the natural and build environment, architecture must work with the natural, not against it. A vertical tower emerges from the earth holding to its elements of inspiration. The tower is a residential mixed-use building located on the coast of Miami.

URBAN VILLAGE
Energizing the Waterfront at Kaka’ako on Oahu... Ikehu is energy in the Hawaiian native language. Energy can be directly related to strength and vitality, which is definitively what Ikehu Urban Village at Kaka’ako will symbolize. The Urban Village is endeavoring to transform the site where an abandoned Fisherman’s Warf currently exists. Ikehu will redefine the term Urban Village, creating an atmosphere of progressive, innovative, and culturally responsive urban-island living.

THE PAVILLION
GRIDSHELL STRUCTURAL SKIN
While considering the Ikehu residents, the pavilion creates a shared urban environment in a world-class community. The residents have their own private entrance to the greenroof via the connected sky path that unwinds directly into the heart of the residential space.
GRIDSHELL
Through state of the art security, Ikehu residents will have fingerprint identification technology for any access into the private residential areas. Eilminating the need for carrying a key. The public users are able to access the greenroof by the main ramp at the entrance of the pavilion.
