Architecture to me is a way of life. It is a way to express my ideas through the work of my hand and the use of my skills. I see it as a way to make beauty and change in a reality that needs it more and more. This is a time when change in the architectural landscape is so important in terms of ending sprawl and creating healthier and more sustainable buildings, I believe that architects can be the seed for that change. I believe in an architecture that is inspired from history and that tries to simplify reality with the creation of an understandable modern design. To me it is very important to create a design that keeps in consideration the surrounding reality and tries to fit and improve everything around it. I hope to expand and try to accomplish designs that are inspired from these ideas and that can make change happen.

- Excellent presentation in 2 & 3 dimensional graphics.- Extensive education and incorporation of environmental design.- Effective problem solver through stressful conditions.- Great work ethic and interpersonal skills.

The Dalston Performing Arts Center will be a community music conservatory, dance studio and music production center. The neighborhood is located in one of the most diverse and dense areas in norther London. Dalston is in deep need of a community center that could activate both the immediate spaces around it, such as Gillett Sq. and allow the neighborhood to become a cultural center for the northern London area. The design re-utilizes an existing furniture factory from the 1890’s with the addition of two new structures: a library and a multipurpose performance hall. The main idea behind this development is to create an urban campus or integration of different buildings connected by common spaces that allow interaction and foster creativity and circulation illuminated through the use of a highly glazed enclosure strategy. The idea of a campus is meant to serve as a strategy to break up the building, therefore to avoid creating an impervious monolithic structure that would not allow users to penetrate deep within it and experience all that the academy has to

offer. The program includes dance studios, large and small practice rooms, a large multipurpose performance hall, a music chamber, a library and plenty of student gathering locations that will foster creativity and mixing between the arts to fundamentally merge and work towards the creation of a total work of art.

Within the long list of the academy’s assets the music library, music chamber, and the multipurpose performance hall definitely represent the core and life of the program. The library and the music chamber are stacked in the three pitched roof building. Both the performance hall and the library building follow the same construction methodology: concrete base foundations and CLT for the top floors. Both the music chamber and the main performance hall are surrounded by double walls that host all the utilities and passive ventilation strategies and also offer a great acoustic break.The main performance hall is conceptualized to host as many different performances as possible in order to guarantee a limitless amount of possibilities for the performers and once again foster interaction between the arts.

On April 18, 1906, San Francisco experienced a massive earthquake resulting in nearly 30 fires burning most of the city to the ground. Over the next four days the San Francisco Fire Department tirelessly fought the rage of fire engulfing the city. As a token of appreciation to the heroic fire department that battled this crisis, our design for the SFFD headquarters stands as a symbol of the city raised from the ashes and its fire department that remains an enduring symbol of public safety. The new headquarters, operating as the hub for over 50 of San Francisco’s fire stations, occupies the generously sized Piers 30-32 along the Embarcadero. The design utilizes the separation and partial removal of the main piers to create two distinct parts. The piers distinct form creates a public park alongside station providing unbroken views of the garages and inner spaces of the fire department, as well as spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay. Symbolic of the original piers, the old pilings and supports remain, capped with LED lights to provide dynamic lighting and effects at night. Conceived as a series of timeless masses, the fire station offers a place where firefighters live and work. Between these masses, the garages display the strength and protection given by the San Francisco Fire Department.

The Mohawk is a commercial district situated in the heart of Springfield Oregon. The design intent was to create a center that could function as a catalyst for the neighborhood. The area is really diverse, incorporating single family housing, small commercial and medicare facilities. The goal was to create a design that could serve all of these functions, therefore connecting the neighborhood and create future development around the project. The site was populated by local retail located in very large footprint buildings. In the proposal my team decided to reuse some of the existing structures and design around them to create a highly sustainable design to compensate for the large amount of parking required. The proposal consisted in a small medical campus, that served as an extension of the existing hospital to the south of the site. In addition we added a commercial area in order to diversify the site functions and maintain a higher level of activity constant through out the day.

The IAAF Junior World Championships being held in Eugene in the summer of 2014 mark the first time an international event has been held in Eugene as well as the first time this event has been held in America. Therefore, we wanted to design a pavilion and flag display that would give users a complete feeling of what the Pacific Northwest is like.We decided to centralize our design around designing a master plan for the entire site using a modular pod system so that more or less spaces could easily be added depending on the program. We chose lumber to be the main material for our design because we wanted to use a local material that characterizes Eugene. We focused on finding ways to use lumber so that it wouldn’t have to be significantly altered so that it could easily be resold or reused.The flag display was completely integrated into the pavilion. We designated specific pods to become “flag pods” that would be double the height of the other pods and would have eight flags each. Their height above the rest of the structure combined with the colors of the flags made them become nodes throughout the space. Interactive elements were placed throughout the pavilion to engage users with the space as well as teach them about Eugene and all the competing countries.

[26]

ADDING A STEP TO THE WOOD INDUSTRIES. WE DESIGNED ALL OF OUR PODS IN A WAY THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO NOT ALTER THE WOOD PRODUCTS. THIS MEANT THAT ALMOST 70% OF THE MATERIALS COULD BE RE-SOLD OR RE-USED FOR REGULAR CONSTRUCTION.

[28]

The Master Plan pavilion wraps around the southern edge of the track, connecting the east and west bleachers. The placements of the pods is based on a variable grid. The pavilion becomes a backdrop for the event displaying the countries flag and Oregon’s essence.

This is a master planning project sponsored by the government of Vietnam. It proposes a city for one hundred thousand, which is the expected growth for Qui Nhon over the next twenty years. We were asked to consider various social, economic and environmental concerns and conduce extensive research into these topics before starting the design process. The site is a three thousand acre green field development facing the ocean. The only existing infrastructure is a twelve lane highway built in anticipation of possible expansion of the city. Rising sea levels ad flooding are major issues that we addressed through the use of a large bio-swale that became focal point and major driver of the design.Due to the large scale of the project, we worked in four persons teams and collaborated extensively throughout development and production. Various scales and systems were addressed, ranging from city-wide transportation networks to street sections and sidewalk details.

[34]

The design creates a flexible yet consistent grid, developed in response to green spaces, public spaces, and pedestrian access. A gradient of development will position higher density in accordance with main development areas. There will be an integrated, multi-nodal transit system that responds to existing features, organized around a central hub. The design uses a hierarchy of streets as well as a variable grid, which is integrated into the fabric of the city. Site specific green spaces will link together variations in density,while adopting to climate and weather changes. These systems aim to make visible the treatment of storm and wastewater as well as the production of clean wind and solar energy.

This studio focused on taking a straightforward approach to organiz-ing the building, and then concentrated on developing the scheme. The issues that were stressed include: the context, the site, the struc-ture and the construction. The program is simple; a small field station that would allow UO classes to spend a short time, a week or so, at Depoe Bay to take advantage of this part of the Oregon coast. The building would include sleeping accommodations for 20 students and two instructors; cooking and eating facilities; a lounge; and, a class-room. The structure will be wood frame, which is typical at the water’s edge in Oregon. The challenge was that the site is quite steep, step-ping down the slope from the road to the harbor. It is south-facing and has views of the major space of the harbor.

Enclosures deals with the design of the building’s envelopes.In the course we designed and detailed a wood structured enclosure, an aluminum curtain wall, steel structural systems and a terracotta tile enclosure. The design and detailing stresses the 4 D’s of enclosures: deflection, drainage, drying and durability. All the designs maintain thorough air and water tightness through the use of barriers in strategic locations in the facades.The process of conceptualizing the facade assemblies is dealt with as a design problem and is carried out just like any other project; from the sketch to the final detailed hard lined drawing. All final details have been accurately draw in Auto-Cad.
