ROMAN CIVILIZATIONS MUSEUM STUDIO: Building Design Studio, Spring 2021 TYPE: Museum SITE: Urbino, Italy

Montefeltro, Urbino was a significant Roman city which thrived due to its proximity to the Via Aurelia, the system of roads that linked ancient Rome to the Adriatic and trade and military contacts with the Balkans and Asia Minor. Predating the Romans, Urbino was one of the Northeastern-most cities in the Etruscan civilization, for precisely the same reasons. There is a surprising amount of Roman material in Urbino still, and excavations of a theater and a villa have been performed in the late 20th century. While material ranges from coins to sarcophagi, altars, to sculpture fragments and inscriptions, the collections are scattered about Urbino and not well interpreted. Many visitors are not even aware of Urbino’s Roman and Etruscan past.

Designing a museum for the purpose of illuminating these treasures though a more thorough interpretation and exposition of them in setting that will be all their own. In addition, will incorporate a collection of 19th century plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures that suffers from a similar lack of clear identity.

River Walk Apartment STUDIO: Digital Design Studio, Spring 2020 TYPE: Residential, Cafe, Art gallery SITE: San Antonio, TX The apartment/mixed use urban building aims to combine three uses into one structure as residential, café, and art gallery for San Antonio downtown/river walk. The concept for this project is a concrete framed structure that can stand by itself as a rigid structure without depending on floors or walls to resist deformation.


Site plan: San Antonio Downtown

Marching cubes Algorithm STUDIO: Adv Design Visualization, Fall 2020 TYPE: Abstract SITE: Unknown

The premise of the algorithm is to divide the input volume into a discrete set of cubes. By assuming linear reconstruction filtering, each cube, which contains a piece of a given isosurface, can easily be identified because the sample values at the cube vertices must span the target isosurface value. For each cube containing a section of the isosurface, a triangular mesh that approximates the behavior of the trilinear interpolant in the interior cube is generated. Proposing a new type of quarantine space or object that addresses one of the unconformities or spatial oddities from 2020. This proposal will be in the form of an architectural images. The image(s) will be filmic in nature and renderings of a parametric model that will act as the new type of quarantine space or object.
