GEODESIC SPHERE
The goal of this project was to create a geodesic sphere of minimal weight that used its facade to play with the effects of light and shadow.
4
Wood, string, and plexiglass were the components used to create this lightweight sphere.
Objective:
GEODESIC SPHERE
5
Black and white plexi triangles were used to create different transparencies and shadows.
A series of string run through the wooden connectors holds the sphere together.

Water Treatment Process Program Concept
FiltrationDisinfectionOdor Control
This project focused on creating an educational facility for the ALCOSAN water treatment plant. The concept of my design was to incorporate the
filtration process used for water and have it govern the layout of the building as well as the environment in which it would sit.
Wall screens protect the south facade from lower sun, while operable louvers on the glass roof control the light emittance for the rest of the building. These
create an environmental filter for the building.

Program Concept
Ground Level
The ground level exhibition space is divided into zones that each house a portion of the water
treatment process, where the visitors can learn about each specific portion.
The walls dividing each zone represent the process being highlighted This allows the movement of a person from zone
to zone to act as a representation of water being purified.
The exhibition space (Light Portion) is the main program of the building, while the other half of the building
houses the secondary program (Heavy Portion).
