This three-week exercise explores the future development of Buenos Aires in the 88% electricity generated from renewable energy source context of climate change and energy crisis. As a team of three, we hypothesize that with the projected increase annual precipitation, Buenos Aires will have a surplus of water resource that is different from most regions of the world. This translates 16% increase from 2010 3,500 kcal to challenges and opportunities that the city will face in the future. In our scenario, 3,159 kcal Buenos Aires will thrive based on the development of the water technology economy in the next 100 years. 50M from increased precipitation 35.3 M 39.3 M The Impact diagrams and renderings shown here are my contributions to 32M the presentation. 28%

This data visualization set is a result of empirical research on Seattle’s housing market in recent years. By overlaying various sets of data, we were able to set different market and demographic factors in relation to one another in order to have a better understanding of what socio-economic forces influence the rate of home-ownership in Seattle city. Program uses include ArcGIS, Tableau, Excel, and Illustrator. Data sets were retrieved from American Community Survey Report 2015, Zillow Research Database, and CoStar Group Database.

THE SPINE - USCG MUSEUM Structural expression with steel Studio project 2016 - Individual work
THE SPINE - USCG MUSEUM
The project is aimed at accommodating the need for commercial expansion into the water front area, while celebrating the s site’s industrial root. Throughout the development’s history of the site, the railroad track running parallel to the port has been the major determinant of the urban fabric here, acting as a “spine” in the development pattern. The building concept employs the metaphor of the spine as a way to embrace the industrial aspect through the use of steel structure.
aspect through the use of steel structure. As part of the US Coastguard facilities, the building houses a public museum and private offices and amenities for the Coastguard base. The public space is currently under-developed, despite the site being within walking distance to major sports facilities and comemrcial development. The lightweight steel structure allows the building to accupy a small footprint at ground level, leaving an open space to activate public activities in the area.

TRAVEL SKETCHES
“One ‘s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” - Henry Miller
DESIGN STUDIO ON VASHON ISLAND, WA The design studio serves as a platform for architecture students and professionals to engage with the community through design projects. The final outcome is a compilation of design proposals at various scales that cultivate the economic and social growth of Vashon Island, which would be under consideration by the authorites and the connmunity. My proposal is to re-use wooden trusses from an old building to be demolished in the vicinity to expand the covered areas of the farmers’ market to accomodate more stalls. The trusses are to be re-inforced with steel cable and chanel for increased structural capacity.
CORNFIELD PAVILION AT ROBERT EDSON SWAIN ARCHITECTS
OTHER WORK EXPERIENCE
As an intern, I provided support and gained experience through working on this residential project. My involvement includes building code research, material research, making drawing set under architects’ supervision, also handling detail drawings of the fence and trellis.
WENZHOU CULTURAL CENTER AT ROBERT EDSON SWAIN ARCHITECTS The design for Wenzhou Cultural Center in China integrates urban planning and architectural design for a complex of a bank, a restaurant, a medical center, and a library. My involvement includes work on the 3D model and revision of orthographic drawing under architects’ supervision.
WINE SHOP INTERIOR DESIGN - FREELANCE WORK My individual freelance work for a client involves store concept design for a wine and fruit shop of 4m x 12m area with a predetermined spatial organization. The client requires an easy-to-build and affordable interior design. The design features built-in shelves in steel and wood with drop-down ceilings that give a warm atmosphere to the interior space.
CELADON CITY DEVELOPMENT IN HO CHI MINH CITY AT RSP ARCHITECTS I was part of a five-member team for the concept design of Celadon City. The project consists of high rise apartment buildings and three-story terrace housing. Due to the dense development on site, the design focuses on arrangement of buildings in terms of views to the park and over-looking issues with neighboring high-rises. Besides, economic factors are considered when strategizing the housing development type that would match the current housing trend.
CAPITAL CITY DEVELOPMENT IN YANGON, MYANMAR The project is a mixed-use development including three apartment towers, an office tower and a shopping mall podium, next to a 3-winged residential tower complex. I was part of the Project team to develop the existing concept design further into Schematic and Construction Documentation phase. My responsibility for this project includes reviewing of concept design drawings, production of working drawings and colaboration with Engineering consultants.
