THESIS WORKCourse Semester D.ARCH FALL 2009/SPRING 2011
Project Description The development of arts and cultural districts is known to be a catalyst for
revitalization in declining communities. Over time, however, further development can alter the
communitys original identity by driving out artist, merchants, and long-time residents due to
gentrification and up-scaling. The intent of this research project was to explore ways to allow

cultural districts to evolve and respond to changing times, while keeping the components of
its identity intact, through addressing the built environment. A system of self-analysis and
temporary intervention is proposed to be a solution.
Community Self-Analysis : Info-Diagramming System
Information gatheredfor contextual researchis organized by NineSuccess Indicators.
To understand how theinformation affects thebuilt environment, it isconverted to a commonvisual language and laidover a 3D representationof the district to give itspatial meaning.
Like GIS and Google
Earth, this system ismeant to be accessibleto everyone on theInternet as a resourceand analytical tool. Ideally,it would be constantlyupdated as informationbecomes available.
Honolulu Chinatown was used as a site for the Info-Diagramming System prototype.Key diagrams were evaluated derive possible intervention sites.
Temporary Intervention
The interventions are meant to be itinerant, ephemeral pockets ofpublic space that use art and cultural activity to:
Initiate changes in small areas of the district Strengthen the districts identity and local cultural brand

CUZCO, PERU URBAN STUDYCourse Semester ARCH 402 SPRING 2008
Project Description Each student was assigned a slice of the city, which was represented by two
1x8 wood planks held 3 apart by threaded rods. Cuzco during the Inca era was modeled
on one plank, and on the other plank was Cuzco after the Spanish invasion. The intent was
to sculpturally represent the urban condition of the city during both eras. Part of the study
included a site visit to Cuzco.
Weaving is a tradition in Cuzco that has survivedsince Inca times. The two basic components of awoven textile - the warp (vertical strands) and weft(horizontal strands) - are manipulated to representCuzcos urban condition during the Inca era and postSpanish invasion.

fig. 1 During the Inca Era, Cuzcowas divided into two zones
- Hurin Cuzco and PumacChupan. My strip of the
city is where the division of
these zones occurred. Two
different colored warps areexposed over the city blocksto differentiate the zones.
Hurin Cuzco is designated in
yellow, and Puman Chupanin brown.
fig. 2 Running between the planksare strands of blue yarn,
which represent the riversthat have shaped the plan
of the city during the Incaera and still today. Yellow
and red strands representthe traditions, like weaving,
that have been passed down
for generations.
fig. 3 When the Spanish invadedCuzco, they tried to razethe city but found that
the Incan stonework waswell engineered and built
their buildings over the
existing foundations. Yellowand brown warp strands
represent Incan Cuzco, and
the blocks are woven overthe top of it.

HIGH DENSITY HOUSINGCourse Semester ARCH 690 FALL 2008
Project Description By incorporating different systems of interchangeability and space efficiency,
this 825-square foot apartment unit offers flexibility and functionality to its residents. It can
accommodate a range of occupants, whether it is a group of single roommates, a couple, or any
combination in between.
bedroom bedroom living room kitchen bathroom
Flex walls allow the unit to transform from a two-bedroom,to one large bedroom, or one small bedroom. The flex wallsalso allow for the living room expand when company comesover.
To efficiently use every square foot, the space createdbetween the different levels are utilized. Storage is placed indead spaces which dont take up extra square footage.
In this unit, a swing-out window opens like a garage door.When the window is shut, the room is enclosed again, andno separate balcony goes unused.

PAKI PARK COMMUNITY CENTER
Course Semester ARCH 544 SPRING 2009
Project Description The community center was placed on the site to take advantage of its climatic
conditions. The buildings narrow cross-section and placement perpendicular to the dominant
wind direction allow for cross ventilation (fig. 1). The operable windows, which clad the
exterior facades, and interior wall louvers also aid in encouraging cross ventilation. The roof
was designed to respond to the suns changing position throughout the year (fig. 2). The
warm light of the high summer sun is let in because there is virtually no overhang on the
north facing facade. During the winter, when the sun is low, the building is shielded from
direct sunlight by an overhang.re

LEOKU TRANSIT STATIONCourse Semester ARCH 542 FALL 2008
Project Description The Honolulu Rail project has architects and urban planners abuzz about the
future of our communities. Following the mid-term project, which was to design a TOD master
plan around a proposed station in the town of Waipahu, each group member took a building
within the plan to further develop.
Located at the heart
of this Waipahu
community, the
transit station was
designed to be acentral meeting
place for residents
and visitors. More
than just a point
of arrival and
departure, the
station encourages
people to gather
and socialize.
