ART + MUSIC PROJECT
The purpose of the Art + Music project was to achieve the satisfaction of enjoyment by providing knowledge of education through innovative design while engaging the natural surroundings with the current landscape. The design concept is based on four major creative goals: An interactive play area, a colorful visual experience, a health and fitness trail, and an educational plant installation. These goals will reflect the intention of learning while playing and significantly benefit the neighboring community as a whole.

PLAYGROUND
COLOR DIS(PLAY)
The theme of the playground is to mimic the coastal dune habitat by providing a visionary experience of how coastal dunes look in Southern California. The main structure of the design is centered around the Play Root structure. The artificial structure is representing the root system of coastal dune plants by creating organic forms that resemble the root network in coastal scrub. This concept helps display the idea that roots are important to the dunes and the surrounding environment, while allowing children to understand how the roots of these plants can help prevent the dunes from collapsing. This will not only educate the children on the importance of conserving these coastal dunes and plants, but will serve as a fun, safe, sustainable play area.
The “Color Dis(play)� area captures two main elements of the site, the sunlight and the wind. By building a sunlight reflective wall and wind respondent wall it will create an installation that focuses on activating the senses, and provide the users with a different viewpoint of how these elements function in the site. The sunlight reflective wall will reflect the light of the sun by the use of prisms that will separate the sunlight spectrum into 7 different colors. These colors will change through out the day depending on the angle of the sun and will create a truly magnificent experience that will help bring more people to the site. Lastly, the Wind respondent walls will contain different colorful windmills spaced within the wall that spin depending on the current wind speed of the area. These windmills will create colorful components both visually and acoustically that will make users consider how these elements can change a persons interpretation of wind.

FITNESS TRAIL The Fitness Trail will have a variety of different fitness equipment along the trail for visitors to use on a daily basis. In the fitness trail, there will be pink marked lines on the ground to help separate the pedestrians on walkway from bicyclists. The retaining walls will have seats built into it for users to use as well as create a barrier to protect the habitat from human disturbance. In conclusion, the fitness trail will have different music instruments built from recycled materials for visitors to play and stimulate their mind. All these features will create a fun and enjoyable environment for visitors while they exercise and will help generate interaction between one another.
COASTAL PLANT POT FITNESS TRAIL MUSIC INSTRUMENTS RETAINING SEAT WALL
The Coastal Plant Pot is a large planting area with a reasonable amount of drop in elevation that will create a natural hill-like area for scenery purposes. In this planting area it will contain lots of coastal shrub plants to construct a habitat for different species to live in. Finally, a retaining wall will be designed as living wall for kids to plant their own coastal plants in, giving them an educational knowledge of how these plants grow in the natural environment. Not only will this teach them how to care for these coastal plants, it will instruct them about the responsibility they have on protecting them in a coastal dune environment.

Implantation location: Maze, bike path Maze: to create a different pattern maze by using the LED lights inside the solar panel. The pattern will be used to provide a more attractive play environment for children and parents. This maze can also help educate families on the concept of conserving power usage. SOLAR PANEL Bike path: The solar roadway systems have another set of small module along the main panel. It contains electrical devices that can be used to determine the pressure on a surface. The electrical device it can sense when children are crossing the bike path and the LED will light up to signal the bicyclists to warn them about pedestrian crossing. LED CELL

LOAD CELL MAIN SOLAR MODULE ROAD Determine the pressure on a surface 250,000 LBS CAPACITY
The maze and bike path project areas will implemented the idea of the use of new solar energy system called the “Solar Roadway”. The Solar Roadway will replace the concrete or asphalt pavements that are found in parking lots, roadways, sidewalks, bike paths and outdoor recreation area with solar panels. The system builds in a hexagon-interlocking module. Each of the module units will have 4 LED cells. Below the LED cell is a green circuit board that control the LED cells so that it can display messages or patterns. And also it monitors the LED cells and report back to a central control system if there are any irregular activities. The solar panel is a major component in the module. The solar panels will convert the sun’s energy into electricity, which will help powering the LED and other needs. The top layer of the module contain a very durable glass that found to be harder than concrete. Both the 3D Finite Element Method analysis and actual load testing at civil engineering labs showed that Solar Road Panels could hold 250,000 pounds and more. In addition, the surface of the module can prevent light reflections that may distract drivers and has traction to prevent slide off.
OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE
The utility cables are going underground that reduce the impact for marine animals. Wind turbines have become one the favorite green energy resources around the world because they can be considered as having zero impact to nature. The wind is free and thus you will never see a fuel adjustment charge on your electric bill associated with wind energy. However, according to current researches, it indicated that wind turbines may not be as green as we thought. The wind turbines generate loud and noisy sounds that may decrease the quality of the park environment for families to enjoy and it may kill birds that accidentally fly into the turbine. Despite the some minor negative impact, it is still an emission-free green energy method. For example, on a scale of offshore wind farm, 350 megawatts of wind energy can generate enough power for 120,000 homes every year. It can also help reduce 1.3 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emission a year. By putting the wind farm at offshore location that may have little environment concern, but it reduce the risk of have a wind farm in land family park area. The wind speed is determined how much energy of the wind turbine can generate. The wind pattern is more consistent than on land. It blow harder and uniformly Offshore winds tend to blow harder and more uniformly than on land.

Tishlini Heights The client for this project is the Transitions Mental Health Association (TMHA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating the stigma related to mental illness and inspiring hope, growth, and wellness for people with mental illness. The project is located on the historic Sunny Acres Orphanage site. It is being designed by TMHA to provide supportive permanent studio apartments for individuals in need in the community. Over three years of consideration by the TMHA Board went into the decision to make a proposal for rehabilitating and reusing the historic building on Bishop Street. With the terms and option to purchase now finalized, our work turns to the details of developing the site as an outstanding example of the intersection of supportive housing and historic preservation in the San Luis Obispo community.

Concept statement: “To give Tisilini Heights and the people another opportunity for an illuminated life.” Mission Statement:
We live in a society where things that look abandoned and in disarray get judged and are usually disliked, but truth is everything that exist has value. The only problem is that people do not know how to cherish their goods and always focus on things that are bad. Just like this abandoned piece of property where there’s lots of broken parts, the majority of people don’t like the idea of putting a rehabilitation center into the surrounding area. If given an opportunity there is a lot of potential for this property to succeed not only benefiting the mentally challenged but the surrounding community. As a designer, I wish to bring out this hidden potential of the property and brighten the people’s eyes with this hidden gem.

In a busy space, there are many people walking and rushing to somewhere. These people all have a destination that they want to get to. Many of them fight so hard for the dream that they want to reach. But in such a busy lifestyle, there’s always that me waiting quietly for that you. Maybe in this busy stream, you have already stood there in front of me but just blocked from me by the crowd.
Everyone has their good and bad days. We all have times that we fail at something. But we should never have times where we give up on ourselves. No matter how hard the obstacles, we can always use our self-will to stand strong and start over again. Every end is a new beginning and every goodbye is a new hello.

SPANISH SPRINGS WINERY The Spanish Springs Winery project is located at Price Canyon in Pismo Beach, California. The location has a nice humid weather most of the time with an average precipitation of 20 - 22% year round. It is surrounded with oak woodlands, grasslands and a steep hillside with lots of open space. This area is placed in a rural setting that is only reachable by motor vehicle through the Price Canyon Road. Within this location there is a large watershed called The Pismo Creek Watershed, which is home to many endangered species like the Steelhead trout, the California Red-legged frog and the Southwestern pond turtle. These factors play a major role in the overall layout and design of this project and will be dealt with in a way that preserves and restores these endangered habitats.
Goals • To provide a suitable developmental plan that can help make use of this valuable site • To enhance the visitors experience with innovative design and scenic ranch view. • To look in the face of the sensitive communities by minimizing the impact to ecology habitats. Objectives 1. Establish a 1,000 sq-ft wine tasting room that is established in an appealing environment. 2. Design a 12,000 sq-ft wine making facility to produce remarkable homemade wine for customers. 3. Create a field of grapevines that presents a dramatic landscape and structure that floats throughout the whole site. 4. Generate an outdoor space, wooden deck, and a barbecue pit area for visitors to enjoy the scenic view. 5. Intensify the storm water control by reclaiming runoff to flow to the irrigation ponds and install a permeable paver system on traffic paths reducing pollution. 6. Construct an area that can minimize the impact to the sensitive communities and reduce disturbance to the native species that lives there.

- Reduce the impact to the habitat area such as the creek swale, grassland, and woodland.
- Provide a credible soils report for a design location verifying that the soils are stabilized and buildable. It must minimize the chances of topsoil sedimentation and erosion.
- Provide a suitable mitigation plan to help enrich the sensitive areas. - Preserve and restore the Pismo Creek so that it can provide an ideal habitat for the many endangered species like Steelhead Trout, California Red Legged Frog, and Southwestern Pond Turtle. - Restrict unnecessary infrastructure to reduce damage to the sensitive plant communities.
- Avoid designing on a 30% slope. It must include a proposal for a building solution and grading solution because the sheer slope can cause topsoil erosion to damage the foundation of infrastructure.

4 The aquatic center is for present day activities. A place where kayakers and land pedestrians can both interact near the water. This central part of the island is provoking and artistic to onlookers. Some components of it are that is partly underground, and is a shelter from hurricane surge.
H2O ASCENSION
The transformation of the island and the castle is designed for the past, present and eventually the future. The island is balanced with history and culture as well as ecological and geographical importance.
Respecting the natural processes of the castle, we intend to leave half of the interior alone. It is filled with different species of plants enjoying the protection of the castle. The roots of these plants are infiltrating the structure so that is why we are leaving the original castle walls, and building a brick facade replicating the original from the outside. The other half of the castle will be scooped out and redesigned in the interior. Using the original archway, visitors can walk through and rent a segway or enter the belvedere.
