Multi-Family Housing West Hollywood, CA Instructor: Dennis McFadden Cal Poly Pomona
A multi family complex that houses 14 units; seven 1-bedroom flats and seven 2-story townhouses. The project began by using the most space-efficient shape for the floor plan: the rectangle. Through the process of placing the spaces within the floor plan, modification started shaping the end result of the floor plan. An important element that helped further shape the building was the use of the balconies and the use of the vertical windows that face the interior of the courtyard. It is a result of the connection between the interior to the exterior through the use of light and its perception by the inhabitants. The complex houses a courtyard, traditional to West Hollywood, thus emphasizing communal space. The facade of the building was designed in order to maximize views of the exterior and the corner windows that were given by the nature of the building’s geometry. The design is a play of having a balance between privacy and communal space through the use of light, which is the core concept of the project and the element that ultimately drove this project to its final stage.

Modular Museum of Art Houston, TX Instructor: Katrin Terstegen Cal Poly Pomona
The Modular Museum of Art displays the works of Pablo Picasso. The museum is designed with a modular system where the arch is the driven concept that solidifies a pre-existing grid. The origin of the project is a distorted grid that emerges from curved lines that are repeated on the x-axis and the y-axis creating similar but not identical spaces on which circulation and designated spaces are born. Concrete is the material that must be accentuated through the architecture and the use of a precast member, where repetition, variation, and deviation is the platform from which to elaborate from. The concept of the museum arises from the use of the arch and its perception within space and the space that it creates through a series of repetition. Apart from the core concept of the arch, a secondary layer of opening is added, to which anticipation and expectation is up to the individual that is to inhabit the space. A combination and/or pattern of apertures and enclosure is a key element to which the presence of the arch is eminent and thus architecturally interactive.

Scientist Observation Space Mount Wilson, CA Instructor: Nadim Itani Cal Poly Pomona
An observation space that functions as a retreat space for scientists and also as a living space. The main concept that revolves around the scientist retreat space is the idea of projection and spatial sensation through the effect of casting shadows and its effect on human interaction with a given space. Through a series of a perforated pattern, the intention was to create an arbitrary pattern that gave the inhabitants a sense of spatial enclosure without been fully closed. The main concept behind the perforated pattern was to challenge the idea of how architecture is seen: the use of a simplistic shape. In this case, a rectangle and a simple floor plan. The idea is to enhance the contrast between abstract patterns onto the simplicity of a straight rectangular wall. It is a play on questioning the interior from the exterior, along with the visuals that the skin creates inside the space.

Mixed-Use Building Mission Hills, CA Instructor: Ian Kay San Diego Mesa College
A mixed-use building containing four floors. The first two floors were assigned for exhibition space, the third floor was assigned for living space, and the fourth floor was to house a studio for the temporary artist. The project was to be located in the area of Mission Hills in what is currently an empty lot. A height restriction of 50 feet was prescribed in addition to a challenge to protect the building from solar exposure. The solution and concept was to play with the functions of a sun shading device and utilize it for aesthetic purposes, thus presenting a modern and functional way of protecting the building from the sun. The form of the building was kept simple, except for the top corner where it was cut to enhance the view. The sun shading device was implemented in a way that it would both protect the building and its inhabitants as well as to give personality and impact to its overall design.

Philip Johnson Gallery New Canaan, CT Instructor: Ian Kay San Diego Mesa College
The project was to convey an architectural statement reflecting the history and significance of the Philip Johnson Glass House National Trust Historic Site. For this project there were no setbacks or height limits. As such, a space was designed to encourage a natural flow amongst visitors to admire the works of art displayed within the building. The approach was to play with the orientation of the building as well as the illusion of a free-standing wall that emitted light at night. Additionally, the configuration of the walls created a natural flow to give direction to the individual within the galley space. The design solidifies concepts of light, flow, and material that further the notion of movement, openess, and architecture.
