DESIGN MUSEUM
AT DOMINE DE BOISBUCHET The museum at boisbuchet is intended to expand the outreach of VITRA. Allowing their permanent collections to be seen alongside the work produced in their summer workshops. This provides new involvement throughout the campus. Also, the location is a beautiful landscape of Lessac region of France. The design strategy is to build a campus that works as a museum with the display of their permanent collection, featured designer’s work, and the result of the workshops, as well as travelling exhibitions from all over the world. The mirrored beautiful nature and is intended so people who walk on the bridge see people appear and disappear outside the glass ring by being able to see people experiencing the interior walkway.

MIT KRESGE CHAPE L RECONCEIVED NON-DENOMINATIONAL CHAPEL Kresge Chapel, MIT chapel, was designed by Eero Saarinen as a non-denominational chapel. He stated that “It should be conducive to individual prayer and not create and atmosphere on any particular religion. The chapel is a response to the site and the program itself.” The structure has been utilized for a variety of functions and events to this day as he proposed. This project’s objective was to demonstrate the sensibility and integration of new and materials varying from what Saarinen utilized. However with the use of different materials the objective was to reconceive and maintain the initial program Saarinen derived and current day availability of use as a multi-functional space for weddings, concerts, lecture, cafe and activities that can occur inside and outside of the complex.

The buildings structure consists primarily of slender columns that support the steel roof and outstretched overhang of the entry way. In appreciation of nature the overhang functions as a portico consisting of reflective panels as to reflect the surrounding water, vegetation, and natural lighting of the ambient landscape.

DREAM BOXES for VERA WANG BROADWAY, SAN ANTONIO
This project focuses on reconsidering the iconic 1963 Inter-Continental Motor Building by O’Neil Ford to explore possibility of reuse and expansion on Broadway in San Antonito. Its original use, as a car dealership of the first Volkswagen Beetles, makes this building relevant for the memory of the site. However as of today the building is vacant and exhibits exponential decay and neglect. The new design will propose a new iconic identity for the building and its given site. Vera Wang, a New York-based wedding dress designer; is well-known for producing not only her stylish designed wedding dresses and bridal collections, but also her own fashion brand and perfumes as well. Her line of products will feasibly be displayed conceptually such as how the Volkswagen Beetles did within the InterContinental Motor Building previously did in the past.

The existing building is wrapped with panels of glossy black toughened glass, is to represent Vera Wang’s concept, Monochromatic and Simplicity . Even the panels’ color is black, its surface reflects the beautiful site and is intended so visitors will get more attention to the building and will be attractive.

“StoVentec Glass is a ventilated rainscreen cladding system consisting of a sandwich element, thermal insulation, and a stainless steel aluminum sub-construction. This can be mounted onto virtually all bearing walls. The carrier board itself is made of expanded glass granulate, a material that is as light as it is environmentally friendly since it is obtained from recycling glass. With a weight of approx. 30 kg/㎡, the system is light enough to be employed in older existing buildings. The suspension of the 30 mm thick glass modules on the rea side is non-visible. The individual panels are factory-produced according to the individual specifications for simple attachment to the sub-construction on site.” Sto Ltd.

The proposed design will integrate on site a flower shop, café, and bicycle shop as additions to the design’s program. Each box-like structure acts as an additional element that occupies the exterior of the building with the objective of initiating local social interactions and involve environmental elements into the design. The design intent of each of these structures on the site is to create elegance in likeness to Vera Wang’s concept and to invite and draw the attention of visitors to engage and promote new social activities.

COMPL-ENTIAL CONDO DOWNTOWN AUSTIN
Level 7
This site is located within a historic neighborhood of primarily one to story homes. Within the recent years however large complex buildings such as condominiums and apartments have been emerging within the neighborhood. Majority of the neighborhood homes have been altered into restaurants or bars creating tension between the emerging high rise and reaming homes today. This project is to focus on a sustainable community, a multi-family, and mixed-used development in downtown Austin. Also it is to propose a design that will provoke the driving force of more daytime activities in the site such as gym, restaurant, cafĂŠ, and rest space for non-residents as well.

In the process of communicating with the site, space, and circulation efficiently the first and second floor function as public spaces. This is done for the sole purpose of creating daytime activities within the building and neighborhood to utilize. The location of residential units are proposed within the third through seventh floor of the building. Within these floors the circulation spaces are intentionally dark lit so as to allow the hollowed core of the free-formed light well to shed light into the building and function as the structure core circulation.

The structure of the building is largely composed of four elements: cylinder structural columns, steel piping, concrete slabs, and the skin.The foundations and columns create the structural grid of the structure. The free form steel structure aids the building structurally and functions as a light well. Although majority of the building is exposed curtain walls are placed on the west facade to prevent the abundance of light and heat gain into the building.
From the ground floor to the second floor of the building the transparency of the glass facade allows viewers to engage with the interior and exterior of the building. The transparency allows for amenities such as gym, open cafe and restaurants within the structure to attract visitors.

MISSION MEMORIAL PARK AT MISSION CONCEPCION
The Battle of Concepcion is an almost forgotten battle of Texas Revolution. It took place near Mission Concepcion on October 28, 1835, between the armies of Mexico and Texas rebels. The site of the battle of concepcion - today a light. The area where the battle most probably took place is used only for walking and bicycle trails today. The project intends to create a new iconic place for the community, using history and memory to foster identity of the city and the neighbors.

Symbolism of light characterizes this site. Mission concepcion is theatrically illuminated with a sort of divine light in the interior space Multi-colored transparent glass panels are placed in the site and are lined up following a grid-system which connects the mission and surrounding neighborhoods. MEMORIAL
These glass panels are intended to be works of art generating joyful interaction between space, landscape, and people. The various colors and intent of the design is to reinterpret the consistency of abstraction and minimalist style see throughout local art.

DRAWING RHINOCEROS RENDERING The famous zoologist Ernst Haeckel discovered, described, and documented thousands of new species within his lifetime. A piece of his work and documentation consists of a drawing of a diatom, which served as an inspirational piece towards my objective to utilizing organic forms from nature in my 3d design. The project and courses purpose was to introduce fundamental knowledge of utilizing Rhinoceros for 3d modeling and rendering.
