Having lived in very progressive sustaina-bility centric architectural hubs--Germany, Dubai, and Singapore--it is no wonder that my design principles and style revolve around sustainability. Each of the places that I have lived in has imprinted on me in different ways in architecture and on my personality. From inspiring wild and organic architecture, to pushing a more progressive and culturally open-minded state of mind, my international upbringing and experiences have helped me to not only connect with people and integrate myself into crowds with ease, but also helped me stand out among my peers due to my different perspective on life.

My love for charity is surpassed only by my passion for community, and creating architecture. Although I feel that it is still early for me to be pinning down my exact design style, a dream of mine is to design affordable and sustainable architecture for the underprivileged people of third world countries, in the future.

Implied Cube PavilionUniversity of Oregon A&AAWinter 2015ARCH283

This webbed structure with opaque light-difusing panels allows its users to experience recluse and serenity, while also feeling connected to the world outside of the web. Although the cubic form of the pavilion promotes a sense of heaviness from a view at its exterior, when inside, it becomes evident how light-weight the construction truly is because of its maliable webbed facade.

The floor of the pavilion mirrors the controlled chaos of the cubed web structure. Triangular planes of different sizes meet edge to edge, creating ridges and dips to sit and play on.

CarvingUniversity of Oregon A&AA

Winter 2015ARCH283

Inspired by flowy wind-carved canyons I created a usable space for relaxation and reflection out of stacked cardboard.

FramingUniversity of Oregon A&AAWinter 2015ARCH283

The concept from which this structure was built was the structurally sound jointed connection between beams--one beam sandwhiched be-tween two beams, which sandwhiched another beam on its other end, and on.

Designer’s HutUniversity of Oregon A&AAWinter 2015ARCH283

A hut designed for the renowned French Architect, Le Corbusier, with the intention of being used as a space for designing, reflecting, and resting, all within the restraints of 640 square feet.

Each of the six studios was assigned a different program to work with. My studio was to design a designer’s hut for Le Corbusier in the Organic Garden at the University of Oregon, using primarily brick.

The weathered and eroding brick walls in contrast with the modern concept of the brick wrapped facade of the hut, complement one-another through brick.The space is highly space-efficient. With a collapsable desk that spans the width of the hut, a curved chair formed off the edge of the table, and shelves that are inset with the horizontal direction of the brick, every square inch has a practical purpose.

Figure GroundUniversity of Oregon A&AAWinter 2015ARCH283

A design derived and extruded from a line composition by American artist, Sol Lewitt. The spacing of the wooden beams becomes more open the far-ther into the communal space of the villa that you go; it is most open at the living room, the heart of the villa. While the only weather protection is a glass prism, the wooden beams laced overtop of the prism provide for optimal weather protection, and allow in a calming dim light.
