6 Igualada Cemetery Park
IGUALADA CEMETERY PARK
Igualada, SpainOn the edge of the industrial part of Igualada and the beautiful moun-tainous landscape, lies this magnificent cemetery designed by Enric Mi-ralles and Carme Pinos. Our assignment was to propose an intervention on the site and create a Visitor’s Center as we saw most meaningful. We started with in depth research of the site to analyze the programmatic and conceptual foundations of the cemetery, then moved on to intensive diagramming, and finally started iterations of our proposals. My pro-posal was focusing on a surreal moment I found extremely interesting in the site that I saw let visitors inhabit the space of the deceased. My idea was to bring this experiential corridor into my proposal and use Miralles’ ideas of repetition and rhythm to guide the structure and conceptual nature of my Visitor’s Center.

14 Urban Analysis: New Orleans
URBAN ANALYSIS: NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans, LAThe city of New Orleans is unlike any other. The french-influenced creole culture has stood the test of time and is still the home to many na-tive inhabitants. The culture shock that exists between all the different neighborhoods is truly incredible. Between the devastation that is still present in the Lower Ninth Ward and the lavish homes in the Garden District, there exists a population that would do anything for the good of their city. Our task for this investigation was to do intensive research and inquiry in order to develop our own understanding of the city. From the regional to city scale we produced hand-drawn diagrams expressing our findings with an emphasis on modes of representation. This exercise was extremely successful both in quality of work but also in building personal connections with this wonderful city.

After examining the city at the regional and city scale, we zoomed into the neighborhood scale in preperation for our final studio project. The neighborhood I studied was the Marigny, located just to the right of the French Quarter. It is an up and coming, young neighborhood full of tra-ditional New Orleans shotgun houses and live jazz bars. These diagrams are studies of charactersitics such as transparency within the city block, density of population and accessible vs inaccessible courtyards.

MUSEUM OF THE CITY
New Orleans, LAAfter an intensive study of the city of New Orleans and it’s surrounding region, our challenge was to design a museum within NOLA that would react to all the characteristics we studied and came to love. What stuck with me the most in my investigation of New Orleans was the transpar-ency within the blocks of the city and the breaks in the fabric. The in-triguing part of these voids in the block is the reveal; whether its physi-cally accessible or not, there is always some sort of vegetation or other building poking out from a fence. Combining these ideas with those of my partner, we came up with a dissintegrating system of horizontal lou-vres and strategically placed voids that guide circulation in the building.

28 Architecture + Organism: A Comparison
ARCHITECTURE + ORGANISM: A COMPARISON
New Orleans, LAPhase One of this project began with selecting a plant or fruit that inter-ested us personally, and then choosing an architectural building that re-lated to that plant organizationally, programmatically, and conceptually. I chose to investigate the garlic plant and compare it to the Villa Dall’Ava by Rem Koolhaas. I found many interesting comparisons that spoke to the uniqueness of both subjects. This exercise specifically aimed to devel-op our diagramming skills and our ability to analyze objects other than architecture and then directly relate those back to buildings. It was a very valuable assignment because of the strength it will give future projects and how we represent them diagrammatically.

34 Freret Street Fete
FRERET STREET FETE
New Orleans, LAJust five minutes from Tulane is the up and coming Freret Street, that is home to many new shops and restaurants. We had the pleasure of hav-ing the site for this project be right in the middle of all the commotion of Freret Street. We started this project with preliminary site analysis, as this was the first time we had a real site. We followed that with hand drawn and digital diagrams. This project was to design a public gal-lery that would also hold a bookstore and cafe. My idea for this project focused on the availability of light in the middle of an urban setting and programming my building in such a way as to get the appropriate amount of light in each space. In addition, through the use of skylights and shifting planes, specialized light was able to enter in important spaces such as the gallery and cafe.

This project was the first time we were exposed to digital drawing and diagramming, so the lessons we learned in this project were extremely useful in developing the projects completed later in the curriculum. Also being the first time using the plotter, students started picking prefer-ences between digital work and hand work. I, personally, being more inclined towards the hand-drawn work.

38 Exquisite Object Museum
EXQUISITE OBJECT MUSEUM
New Orleans, LAEntering into our second semester, our first task was to find an Exquisite Object that was kinetically and statically active and produce a techni-cal drawing. Our next assignment was to design an exhibition case for the object to sit in that directly related to its movement and motion. We then had to cut ten short sections through the exposition case and create three occupiable composite sections and use those for the final design of a sequential museum. This project was a good exercise in phasing, as each step led to the next one and formed a beautiful composition. The sequence had to include an entry space, a circulation corridor and finally at least one gallery. This exercise was useful in that it was our first go at form creation, and one of the ways you could generate form from exist-ing conditions.

42 Site as Dwelling :: Dwelling as Site
SITE AS DWELLING :: DWELLING AS SITE
New Orleans, LAThe first project in which we had a client to desgin a building for. Our final task for our first semester at Tulane was to pick a client from a list of three, very picky, professionals. We then had to create a scheme where the home and landscape were completely integrated phsyically and emotionally. We were given a plot of land and complete freedom on how to manipulate it and insert a dwelling. My idea for the project was to start with a series of slices of land and pick one to integrate the dwell-ing into. In the end, the dwelling was completely integrated into one of the slices and fit very nicely into the other slices of land that lowered in elevation down towards the lake at the end of the site. This project was very successful and really got me to love architecture and this school. The concepts generated in this project helped me in the creation of my future projects.

46 Painting Analysis
PAINTING ANALYSIS
New Orleans, LAPicasso is one of the most renowned artists in history and for this assign-ment I had to completely decipher the spacial and organizational strate-gies used in his painting “The Card Player”. It was interesting trying to get into such an incredible painters head. Once we created 30 diagrams that fully described the painting we had to generate a model that three-dimensionally pushed our diagrams farther. My idea for the model was directly relating to the diagrams I created and the ideas of fold, repeti-tion, and parti found in the painting. This exercise was beneficial because of its rigor in diagraming and understanding how a piece of art directly relates to architecture, not only aesthetically but organizationally and compositionally.

50 Architekton
ARCHITEKTON
New Orleans, LAOur first project at the Tulane School of Architecture and our first go at spacial configurations. This project was all about getting our mindset into the conceptual mode. This exploration of space required us to create a small, medium, and large space and the interaction between the three of them. This exercise was extremely valuable in our further tenure in the architecture school as it was our basis to the single most valuable idea, space. The lessons I learned in this project will always be present in my future projects and career in the school.

ADDITIONAL WORK
56 Visual Media
VISUAL MEDIA
New Orleans, LAAlongside Design Studio, we are taking Visual and Digital Media courses to help us explore different medias of representation and production. Our first semester looked at the handling of the pencil and the different modes of representation using lead. Starting with a simple field of lines, to intricate shading, and the use of collage, we experimented with many types of drawings and learned which mode of drawing worked best for each person.

DIGITAL MEDIA
New Orleans, LAAlongside Design Studio, we are taking Visual and Digital Media courses to help us explore different medias of representation and production. We are intensively learning Rhino and Vray along with AutoCAD. These courses are all about experimentation with digital mediums and physical materials. Our main project during the fall semester of 2012 was repro-ducing the Danziger House in Los Angeles by Frank Gehry. Our assign-ment was to reproduce plans, sections, three dimensional digital model, and renderings. This project was a good gateway into digital production and will help in the development of future projects.

64 Digital Media
Our spring semester in Digital Media was focused on Digital Fabrication and using Rhino and V-Ray to represent our project digitally, then using the laser cutter to translate those ideas into three-dimensional physical models. The projects pictured are one in which we had to manipulate a 8” cube as we saw fit, and the next required the use of repetition and the laser cutter to develop a self structured object. Finally, we had to create two renderings of a pavilion we developed on our own.

70 VOODOO Music Experience
VOODOO MUSIC EXPERIENCE
New Orleans, LATulane held a competition this year for the design of the main entrance of the Voodoo Music Festival that is held every year at City Park. Me and a group of three other students put together a proposal that pulled the festival-goers into City Park by peeling the two main walls into an over-arching, flowing overhang. The main idea was to create a pavilion using stretched canvas and use interior lights to reveal the structure at night and use the sun to reveal the structure in the day time. Our emphasis on the structure was in response to the competition requirement of using the supplied truss. Although our team got second, the first place team asked us to help them construct their proposal.

74 BUKU Music + Art Project
BUKU MUSIC + ART PROJECT
New Orleans, LAAfter its inaugural year in 2012, the BUKU Music + Art Project was recog-nized as an extremely successful “boutique” festival, so the plan for 2013 was to make it even bigger. Showcasing the newest electronic music sensations along with a taste of hip-hop and indie rock, BUKU drew a impressive crowd of 12,000 people this year. I was part of the BUKU Art Team that consisted of twelve other students from various schools in New Orleans. We designed and built all the installations for the festi-val with a focus on interaction with the public and a style fitting for the festival. The list of installations included a massive hammock between two shipping containers, inside of which was an installation with recycled water bottles (sponsored by VITAMINwater) and an interactive installa-tion using hand cranks to pump blacklight reactive water from one reser-voir to another. My role was participating in schematic design, creating a rendering, and aiding in the construction of the installations.
