01 Tresel - Backyard Canopy Kansas City USA 2012
Space Frame tres•tle/ tres l Noun: A framework consisting of a horizontal beam supported by two sloping legs, used in pairs to support a flat surface.
Tresel is a multipurpose pavilion designed to enhance any backyard. The lightweight structure of the canopy creates the framework of a space that can be inhabited and used much as one would an arbor. The repetition and lightness of the Tresel structure make it an economical way to connect people to the outdoors in a sheltered gathering space. The structure of the canopy is a geometric series of three-dimensional steel-tube trusses that form tetrahedron modules. The Pavilion is created by joining these pyramidal shapes along their geometric axes.

Trestle: Preliminary Space Frame Studies Traditionally, space frames are a typology reserved for large-span applications. Early explorations of "backyard" space frames branched into a simpler form focused around roofing pitches, and a complex version that arose from suburban residential patterning.
Trestle: Variants The negative fabrication consequences of highly irregular modules steered investigation towards the potential of a standardized module. Once standardized limits to the module were established, possible variarions became virtually limitless. When module exploration expanded to elevation as well as plan, the form iterated into structrally intrepid designs.

Trestle: Joint Investigation Regularized modules demand regularized connections. The multi-dimensional, multi-angled connections of a space frame call for highly sophisticated joints. Discovering an elegant, simple solution was not always elegant or simple. The intolerant reality of full-scale joint fabracation was a challenge met with disciplined, iterative experimentation.

02 Sustainability in Permanence Multi-Family Housing Moore, Oklahoma USA 2013
After F5 tornados devasted Moore Oklahoma during the summer of 2013, KU’s Studio 608 began a conversation about what it means to be a truly resiliant community. This mixed use multi family housing facility challenges traditional North American building practices and probes to understand what we value as a community. The site’s location (Moore, OK) allowed us to build across from a proposed expansive park just bellow our site lines to the south. In addition to the park proximity our site is within walking distance of downtown Moore. This unique location propelled us to think about our site as more than just a place where people live and work but as an intersection where the park and downtown merge into one another.

Hybrid Model We began the semester constructing a “Hybrid Model”. A model that isn’t exactly architecture but at the same time retains architectural qualities. The hybrid model became an experiment in material qualities and a study about what constitutes a space. Throughout the hybrid model no forms are entirely enclosed creating a powerful feeling of spacial ambiguity.

Section Model Towards the end of the semester we took what we had learned from our studies with the Hybrid Model and developed a large structural model through a section of the building. The building showcased our ideas about creating ambiguous spaces. We also were able to show our waffle slab structure as well as some spaces designed to house neighbors in the event of a natural disaster.
Changing the Social Paradigm: From single family stick construction to multi amily, multi use resilient construction. Our building will help change how people see shared housing and perhaps how they relate to their neighbors.

03 Denver Art Center Denver, Colorado USA 2014
The site is at the corner of 7th St. and Santa Fe located in the Denver Art Distract embraces most creative arts environments sourcing from mix culture of Mexican, American Indian, Hispanics, etc. Walking along the Santa Fe Street, various urban arts and street arts relate to unique characters of this city and illustrate creativity of local residence. Therefore, I decide to design a community space to expand art literacy by collecting, storing, and exhibiting local arts; to create an interactive platform allowing citizens and visitors to participate. This interaction focuses on not only contents of exhibition, but also architecture itself. This could be achieved by structure, building skin, variable spaces, and physical environment design. The size limitation of our site requests rooms for multi-function, which helps to reduce building footprint, and also open to public event.

Beyond cultural enhancement, consideration of views, fast traffic, narrow sidewalk, local materials, texture, and Climate should be contained as design criteria. I provide sustainable technology as optional solution. Exterior design is also a significant portion in this project. I strive to release the pressure from narrow sidewalk with landscape reform, bringing in visual protection and comfortable pedestrian outdoor space.
