In a project about wind, I of course felt it necessary to know where it was going. So I decided to create this map of the wind direction and speed through specifi c points in the North Pacifi c. I found the data to make this map from aviation charts. But that did not give me wind data on a scale close enough to my site in Northern California.
My next stage was document-ing wind patterns in specifi cally Marin. The weather channel’s website was perfect for that. For two weeks, I recorded the wind speed and direction onto a spreadsheet and created graphs of the wind vectors.

MECHANIZED METROPOLISMUNDERGRADUATE THESIS ROME-CORVIALE. BERKELEY 08
This thesis studio was based on the study of a one kilometer long, six story tall high density housing unit in Rome, Italy. My project was about the system for allocation of living space, in this once socialist build-ing, now moving towards a technologically advanced, capitalist Europe.
For me it seems only natural that the architecture of circuit boards meets the architecture of buildings. With the potential provided by robotics, they can speak back to a building’s occupant in a very unique way. The spatial quality of one of the units in the Robotic Corviale has the abil-ity to optimize the size and the placement of the walls to whatever the occupant decides. This means that a bedroom would expand its walls the second somebody walks inside. Unnecessary walls disappear and Desired walls materialize with the response of a computer. The con-cept of inside and out, public and private literally spills into each oth-er with motors and solenoids splitting the exterior walls. The func-tions of this building are only limited by the imagination of its residents.

For the design of this boat house, I stud-ied the movement of a rower’s clothing as it reacts to different forces. From those ini-tial studies, I came upon t spaces, all react-ing to the program in the same manner of my original site analysis and rowing studies.
With the freedom allowed me from the con-cept studies and by refining these nuanc-es, I ended up with many unintentional effects. -

THE WILDERNESS CITYW/ IF ARCHITECTURE, UC BERKELEY
IN 2008, I PARTICIPATED IN A COMPETITION WITH A TEAM OF PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS AT BERKELEY TO DE-SIGN THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO 100 YEARS IN THE FU-TURE, 2108. WE IMAGINED A CITY COMPLETELY RE-BUILT TO CONDENSE THE BAY AREA’S COMPLIMENT OF URBAN SPRAWL INTO STRINGS OF SUPER-STRUCTURES AND AIRBORNE PLATFORMS WHILE RETURNING THE LAND TO NATURE. ALL THE FUNCTIONSOF CITY, HOUSING, BUIS-NESS AND CIVIC SCPACES WOULD BE CONTAINED WITH-IN THESE 2000 FOOT TALL SKYSCRAPERS WITH A FOOT-PRINT SMALL ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR THE RESTORATION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA’S LONG LOST WILDERNESS.
