Tertiary Structure

Structural Aquatic Center

This project concentrates on redesigning the existing roof structure of the Texas Tech University Aquatic Center. A new structural roof was to be designed using different construction techniques and materials.

This new design was inspired by the shape and movement of a fish. The outer shape and continuous movement can be seen through-out the interior and exterior of the structure. There is a primary, second-ary, and tertiary structure system. Using a thin membrane which lets natural light inside the space and louvers in the exterior of the struc-ture will let natural ventilation weave through the structure and an open glass surrounding the building to let natural light in the space.

METI School Precedent StudyStudio 3

Year Fall 2010

Level Undergrad

The METI School project was chosen by myself and four other classmates to be fully analyzed both in design and structure. As a group we were to reproduce drawings and a full scaled physical model of the entire project. The proposal for this existing project was to give the rural population a new perspectives of construction, to teach the children how to develop self confidence, and to reinforce their sense of identity.

Revealing the hidden is a concept depicting the unseen of the city into the movement of an acting school. Inspiring the students to project their work into the world, performance spaces are contained throughout the site inviting the public to see and feel the energy of the students. There is a sense of open-ness and introspection both inside and outside of the building, engaging stu-dents with the city and merging the hidden with shown, old with new, and viewer with performance. Project was done in collaboration with Valeira Sierra.

An geometric facility that sustains an artistic environment. This building brings in te concept of transparency, natural light, and elevated landforms. The meaning of transparency is to create a diversion of relations and trying to organize components in a clear way. Spaces are very open to let natural light in. Landforms evolving around the building begin to apply movement throughout the site and create an atmosphere for the people. Both the building and landforms help shape each other. The building is made up of different elevations to define the spaces and let natural light in. There is also the idea of outdoor art display on the landforms. A courtyard is generated be-tween two main buildings (library and gallery), in which there is a specific moment where the two buildings almost come together but are separated by a thin line.

Deans Cup CompetitionPrize 3rd Place

Year Spring 2011

Level Undergrad

First and foremost, this is an ideas competition. There are no pre-conceived no-tions of what ideas on a site-less landscape is, or will produce. Notions of site are typically considered as a-priori conditions within the standard building/site rela-tionship. This relationship suppose a dependency of architecture on a landscape condition. This competitions asks that you question the notion of architectures and design exploration as a process dependent on a given site condition.

Thank You.
