About MeFrom a young age, I grew a fascination for designing homes; from Legos to virtual videogames. After completing my first architecture design course in high school, I began to explore this new found passion. This led me to pursue an architecture degree from Washington State University. Through my travels, I have enjoyed exploring and studying the way architecture responds in different environments and how design creates feelings and emotions in the human mind.

01 | San Francisco Cultural Center
Surface Architecture: where the form of the building relies on the spaces incorporated inside. This depends on the type of program the structure is formed around. With each space, a different special feeling is applied depending on the structure and design of the room. This idea was the foundation for the design for the Cultural Center in San Francisco.

The spatial complexity is based on a few geometric rules. A membrane between two surfaces is divided into alternating zones: A and B. As the surfaces are pulled apart, two continuous spaces A and B evolve, separated by the curvilinear membrane.
Repeating this process once more on top of the first, two horizontally and vertically
continuous spaces A and B emerge between this one continuous membrane.
In order to accommodate the spatial and volumetric needs the underlying geometric grid is locally transformed while maintaining its global integrity. This emerging grid is one of fluid relations rather than fixed absolutes.
“The Function of Form” by Farshid Moussavi
By strategically designing the locations of each room, it allows to maximize the most benefits to natural lighting and exterior views possible for the viewers inside, while locating the functions (store, bathrooms and gallery spaces) near the center where more privacy is desired.

Multiple catenoids are connected on both the top and the bottom within 10-15 feet with a horizontal floor. This allows access in both the x, y and z axis and creates an unlimited variation with wall designs for different room performances.

02 | The Palouse Plaza
Concept: to create a multi-functional building that connects with the downtown life of Pullman with the constant growing WSU campus. The building draws on contextual connections with the downtown with a yearly farmers market and outdoor plaza while providing a private living to the above residents. The exterior blends the old downtown with a modern, rustic brick and wooden eaves with modern stucco and metal lighting fixtures with setbacks to invite people into the space.
Pullman, WaSpring 2014 | WSU Professor Bashir Kazimee

DESIGN ||The building is divided into three parts; the first being on the main downtown level that contains a farmers market that interacts with the plaza and opens to the streets during the warm summer months. There is also a restaurant that embraces the views of the river and connects to the plaza that allows visitors to sit, play and relax on the stone steps that gradually interacts with the river, depending on the water level. The other section is located on the second level that allows areas for students to take advantage of the designated study areas and to bring in local merchants to sell hand-made food. The third section allows multiple living arrangements, for single or multi-family apartments with a community space to encourage community involvement.
The plaza is for the community to gather and as a farmers market for the summer months. East Elevation

03 | Food & Nutrition Science Center
The psychology of food inspired the design and layout of the F&N Science Center educatorium. Food affects a person’s mental, physical, and emotional state. Thus, the design of the building focuses on the health and wellness of food by providing a psychological experience when entering the educatorium and the incorporation of the green wall is to improve a person’s health.

A vertical garden or a greenwall provides healing e�ects and have shown that patients who have been in rooms with a clear view of greenery have required less pain relief and drugs, as well as recovering much more quickly compared to patients who had direct sight of concrete walls. Greenwalls also reduce stress and provide relaxation; in other words, they feel calmer and less stressed due to less noise and less heat from greenwalls. Greenery have ease physiological and psychological pressures of city life by providing a spiritual and physical connection to nature in which the beauty of the green wall can rejuvenate our minds and physical fatigue is reduced. Lastly, greenwalls improve the indoor air quality resulting in improved physical environment.

The community garden, that functions as the main area promoting an interactiv experience surrounded by the greenwall becomes the central part of the educatorium, similar to how food is a central part of our lives.
The community garden, that functions as the main area to promoting an interactive experience, is surrounded by the greenwall and becomes the central part of the educatorium; similar to how food is a central part of our lives.
THE VERTICAL GARDENA vertical garden, or a green wall, is proven to help reduce stress and to provide relaxation; in other words, the viewer feels calmer and less stressed due to less noise and less heat from green walls. Greenery has eased to physiological and psychological pressures of city life by providing a spiritual and physical connection to nature in which the beauty of the green wall can rejuvenate our minds while physical fatigue is reduced. Green walls also improve the indoor air quality thus resulting in an improved physical environment.
SCREENINGThe outdoor mesh screens are not only used as the green wall but the design purpose was to work on privacy for each room. For classrooms and exhibition, the mesh is lower, mid body section, and the common areas are raised to allow more sunlight into the building.

Site Plan
The main architectural element utilized is the hybrid between the floor and wall. By incorporating this hybrid, it enabled the landscape to meld unto the building and allows a community garden to be used both horizontally and vertically.

LEARN | COOK | EATThe educatorium is designed around the knowledge of food and how anyone can learn the benefits of creating healthier eating options, how different types of food affect your body and in which ways (the exhibition and classrooms) and to explore a hands on learning experience both in growing and maintaining the food (community garden), how to cook and prepare the food (kitchens) and then enjoying the food they prepared.
The auditorium and dedicated study area for the college students are located on the ground level for nearby access to parking and the local bus stop. The design involves the community garden above as a symbol that learning, just like most foods, starts from the ground up.
The top level is dedicated for office and administration with three private housing options that are available for temporary teachers on the WSU campus. Ground Floor

04 | Block 48 Media Tech Center
The design concept was to create a pedestrian-friendly environment while providing a media museum throughout the building. The ground level embraces a community plaza to bring nature into the city to provide a resting and gathering place, both in the plaza and museum, for the community while being surrounded by the local tenant and cafe spaces.
Seattle, WaSpring 2015 | WSU Professor Greg KesslerTeam Project
DESIGNThe design concept was focused on embracing the city life to promote more community involvement. Located in Seattle, the ground level incorporates a public plaza to invite visitors to stop, rest and enjoy the environment with the connection to Denny Park. The entrances to each building is offset from the sidewalk to enhance the pedestrian environment. As the upper floors are occupied by the museum, the ground level is dedicated for the pedestrians with the cafe and tenant spaces for easy in-and-out access. The museum provides multiple Media Parks, which act as communal spaces throughout the building to allow outdoor resting breaks from the museum where people can interact and socialize.
THE SKY BRIDGE As the lower level is split by the plaza, the museum includes a central, transitional area that connects the different gallery venues with the sky bridge and acts as the Amazon lobby for a resting place while allowing the visitor to embrace the view of the city beyond its windows and the plaza below.

The focus on this project was to design a building beyond the design aspect. There was a lot of focus on the plans, sections, elevations and structure drawings including more in-depth drawings such as the callouts, wall, floor and roofing types and the use of exterior materials all composed in construction documents.
