MOVINGSCULPTURE

Basswood dowel model, hand-made

for DSIT 29: Design Process.

MOVING SCULPTURENotation Drawing

ConceptPhase I

Consistency in pattern and

envisioning a series of forms that

overlap to create a completely

evolved form that imitates the

movement notations.

The model was created with dow-

el models exactly as the notation

drawing above and oriented in a

way that created a visual move-

ment without actually moving,

and then connecting them.

MOVING SCULPTUREConcept & Inspiration

Phase II

This is phase II of the Mov-

ing Sculpture project, where

the original X-RAY model is

cladded with museum board

to create surfaces. These

surfaces are to allow the form

to have a structural quality, all

while maintaining the illusion

of movement.

HOUSE OF RITUALS

HOUSE OF RITUALSEast & North Elevation

Phase III

The space is intended for the

rituals EATING, SLEEPING, AND

BATHING. Located offshore

and above the water, requir-

ing water transportation for

access. The linear organization

of space is based off the idea

of elevated ground plane. The

movement throughout the

space suggests a linear fluidity

and continuity that is relative to

the oceanic setting; the planes

are arranged in an elongated,

linear pattern.

All spaces are framed by CAGE-

LIKE STRUCTURES, providing

stability in an unstable environ-

ment and also the dowels are

creating angled wall planes

to separate different parts of

the house. In addition, the

framework has continuous

dowels protruding from it,

puncturing the ground and

overhead planes, allowing

for an ocean inspired sense

of fluidity. The intense

angles allow for a balance

between organic and structural.

bookstore Location & Concept

Objective: Design and mod-

el a bookstore / retail space

and living space in an ex-

isting building, utilizing the

two levels and entrances.

Inspiration will be drawn

from phase 1 of this proj-

ect, highlighting NOTATION

DRAWING of the HUMAN

BODY, creating shapes and

orienting them in such

manner that would produce

an object that accomadates

various positions of the body.

LEAN, SIT, LAY, PERCH.

The Models and notations

to the right demonstrate the

various ways the notations

could be oriented to create

a beautiful form which suits

the desired body positions

and geometric sculptural

elements desired.

Inspiration: Industrial Jurassic by

RAAAF Architects.

The materials and the design/

shape of the pod itself is very

organic and representational of

my inspiration. The POD shape

takes for as a large salt mound.

From a distance, the pod has

a grainy visual texture derrived

from the tessellated pattern.

Netherlands

Elevations of 3D printed Salt tiles, done

in Illustrator for DSIT 103: Interior Ar-

chitecture Conceptual Design Studio.

The tiles have simple, geographic

representations of the TOPO-

GRAPHICAL landscape features

of SALT MOUNDS in the Nether-

lands. The Netherlands is half

below sea-level, so there is an

abundance of salt and moisture

that goes into the landscapes.

AGRIPODElevations

SALT MOUNDS are very sparat-

ic and unpredictable when it

comes to form, shape, color,

land ocation. The mounds

in the Netherlands are what

inspired this AgriPod shape and

tile design. The geometric extru-

sions represent the mounds and

their size and the holes in each

of the tiles represent the general

shape of a mound at its base.

SJSU GALAConcept

The ELONGATED original design

create a tunnel-like structure in

which people can walk through

or occupy in the area in between

the open atrium. Structure is to be

made from 3D PRINTED METAL

with perforations, and have various

colored tube lights within the “tree

trunks” for illumination.

The design challenge was to create

a space within the student union at

SJSU that is utilized by the exsting

students and uses, in it’s dining,

study and transportation hall. The

existing architecture has to be co-

hesive with the design. The design

drew inspiration from TREE ROOTS

that drape or create a CANOPY.

SJSU GALAStructural Section

The ANNOTATED SECTION provides

clear insight into its intended use

and how it functions as an art

installation/design. These hollow

tree trunks, conjoined to create

a canopy allow a unique experi-

ence to be had, especially at night

when the structure can be in full

illumination. The design allows

for indirect connections between

people and creates a mood that

any event could call upon.

Instead of a dining space, I designed

a structure that was meant to be

walked through like a tunnel or

mingled within. This 3D printed

metal structure is meant to be

enjoyed and set a mood. Each

“tree trunk” have a hollow core and

are meant to be perforated with

glowing lights shining through and

giving the existing space in which it

is located, a different aesthetic.

DESIGNER PROFILE

Born and raised in San Jose, CA,

attended a local montessori

school, and then Willow Glen

Middle and High School. I have

always drawn and painted

abstract, colorful things and

really fell in love with abstract

expressionist art, so I made sure

I was always enrolled in an art

class. I had dreams of becom-

ing an artist my entire life, but

it was not until my junior year

of high school that I dreamt of

becoming a designer.

As I progress in my interior

design studies, I am realizing my

strengths and design aesthetic

that make me unique. Having

ambition and a desire to succeed

in what I want for myself as I

mature is what is driving me to

push myself and my designing

capabilities further.

Since I am interested in various

art and design fields, I have taken

electives such as film produc-

tion, color, sculpture, and 2D Art.

These classes furthered my skills

and provided me with additional

knowledge that is not offered spe-

cifically in my BFA Interior Design

major. I wish to apply all that I have

learned from my art and design

classes and my future projects.
