SPACEPORT LA Antelope Valley, CA
The Spaceport L.A. is a private airport solely dedicated to providing recreational travel into space for the public. Our biggest challenge in designing this building was creating our structure primarily out of wood. We took on this challenge by trying to highlight the use of wood and make the structure the star of the design. The key to the success of our project can really be seen in the details, which we designed specifically based on how the connections would work at each point of transition in the project. This project is meant to convey the possibilities of design when architects truly collaborate side by side with their engineers. Our ability to communicate back and forth as the project progressed gave us the opportunity to design everything from the overall grand idea to the small details that make our project unique.

scientists study the bio diversity of coastal oak wood, as well as a public education center for visitor. The Staffs will have onsite
10
residency at the facility to continuously monitor the environment. While the public can use the facility as an observation tower or

learn about the surrounding species at Rancho Mission Viejo. The 1100 ft 2 facility includes a private quarter, restroom, office, a specimen collection, a public observation platform that provides 360o view for visitors and a private observation platform. The platforms are located at different specified heights to provide unique views for the visitors when they circulate toward the top

BRONCO ARENA Pomona, CA
Bronco Arena began with an idea about movement and circulation. With a goal to accommodate not only a capacity of 20 ,000, but also provide a facility for the community to utilize for a variety of functions. The site is an accessible distance from many core campus buildings and in view from busy streets utilized by the surrounding community. Our design process began with the flexibility of triangulation in structure and architectural design. We developed one folded system of triangles to be repeated, connecting at set points. With structural systems in place, the skin structure is separate from the grandstands and is self-supported.

Material utilization and construction fabrication are another sustainable aspects Fabric Roof System materials become of this project. With the advantaged of technology building more environmentally friendly and energy conservation. The Tessellation panels are constructed from Precast Concrete where concrete is placing in theGlass reusable Fiber Reinforced Concrete Panels molds. This method helps to reduce the wasteful redundancy form marking of traditional cast in place concrete. The main structure system which holds up the entire skin of the arena, is constructed with shop fabrication steel members. Shop fabrication helps to reduce the complexity and cost of the project. In addition, workers also work in a safe and controlled environment. Compression Ring System
Transportation also be taken Tension underRingconsideration within the project. We design System the connections which ease the installation process and help to divide each main support element into smaller sections that fit on the freeway legal transport size trucks. The combination of material utilization and shop fabrication improve the construction accuration and reduce time and money.

This then creates the mat scheme within the building. Furthermore, privacy between the units that are facing each other is enhanced by the perforated metal roof.

WEST HOLLYWOOD GALLERIA West Hollywood, CA
Over the years West Hollywood has become increasingly wealthier. Next to the project site is an eyewear store, Chrome Hearts that sells $7000 sunglasses. Within half a mile of the project site, the London West Hollywood Hotel offers a suite that costs $25,000 a night. This project accepts the reality of the “New West Hollywood� by catering to the 1%. It capitalizes on the increasing spending power of new residents and tourists, offering fewer goods, rooms, and experiences but for higher sums. Still this is West Hollywood. And while people that come here may be rich they want to feel like they are doing good. This project caters to the 1%, but offers ways for them to not feel guilt by finding ways for the to give back to a worthy environmental or social cause.

WALL SCONCE LIGHT Woodwork Hobby
Utilizing the similar concept with fiber optic technology, I apply a clear recycled media which is flexi glass that allows light to reflect and follow throughout the media. In addition I introduce the rotation into the form of the wall sconce to make it more dynamic and aesthetically appealing. In contrast with the crystal clear look of flexi glass, wood layers are being slotted in, to increase the complexity of the design. The light source of this wall sconce is generated by the CREE 60W LED light bulb. The bulb provides an omnidirectional 800 lumens of soft

light. The uniformly distributed amount of light from the light source brightens up the every detail of the wall sconce. In addition, the wall sconce does not only bright up at night but it also becomes an art sculpture of the surrounding environment during the day.
