As an undergraduate, I investigated the rates of rural-urban migration or “urbanization,” in the Chinese province of Anhui based on the several social, economic and political factors. The Chinese government has discouraged “urbanization” through the implementation of the Hukou System in which citizens are only entitled to social services within the province in which they are born. It was concluded that the Hukou System has not had a significant impact on rates of urbanization but may have a negative impact on the populaiton’s quality of life.
The graduate thesis, “Soft Body Architecture” was a year-long collaboration between myself and two peers in which we developed a low-cost, minimal waste fabrication system to support contemporary architectural agendas including mass customization and material adaptation. The system itself utilizes a soft formwork constructed of low-density polyethylene manipulated on a CNC laser that is then injected with glass-fiber reinforced concrete. Beyond the technical, the system allowed the freedom to design and develop transitional housing on a steep cliff along the San Diego-Tijuana border based on the contemprary needs of the local demographic.

EAST VILLAGE DANCE CENTERtypology : Dance School and Performance Center | location : Downtown San Diego
THE EAST VILLAGE DANCE CENTER is located in Downtown San Diego that houses a Dance School, Two Performance Areas and a Restaurant. The design process was driven by the programmatic layout of the facility which is conscious and considerate of the various forms and experiences that is dance. The design considers dance in all forms, and most importantly, as an event that connects and brings people together. The design considers the various users. There are Performers and their are Spectators. The design embodies the various experiences when a spectator attends a concert. There are areas of gathering and socializing before, after and even during intermission. There are multiple bars, restaurant, lobby, outdoor patio and an “underbelly” balcony where spectators can gather and socialize in-between and around performances to provide a total experience. Spaces are wide and open to encourage gathering rather than movement and circulation. The design utilizes subtle level changes to carve space with minimal visual disconnect.
A large driver of the building’s design is the location and classification of a Formal and Informal performance area. The Formal area accommodates over 300 seats and provides a private, intimate performance setting. The Formal performance area shares its backstage with the Informal performance area. The Informal area is literally more open to the outside and the rest of the building. A large floor and two long balconies overlook the informal performance area. This area can accommodate for as the name suggests, informal dancing including using the space such as that in a dance club, where the audience are the dancers. The transition between the various programs is embodied by the wood facade. At the quieter north-end of the building, the wooden facade is closed to provide a private setting for the Formal Performance area. As the facade moves south, it breaks apart and morphs into a porous structure that supports the platforms of the Informal performance area as well as provide visual connectivity and a sense of openness to the public.

URBAN CONVEYOR FARMtypology : Urban Farm, Residential & Retail | location : Downtown San Diego
THE URBAN CONEYOR FARM is located on the edge of the Little Italy and Downtown sectors of San Diego. Adjacent to the Santa Fe Amtrak Station, Museum of Contemporary Art and the iconic One America Plaza, it aims to provide an anchor for an unfortunately desselate section of Downtown San Diego. Another goal for this project is to bring awareness and appreciation for the food and it’s production that we as a society take for granted. The design of this building started on opposite ends of a spectrum. One considered the people
and users of the space. An open courtyard area was designated to provide public space as well as provide a buffer between the main towers and the adjacent 500’ tall One America Plaza. The implementation of the urban farm was based on the idea that plants can travel on a conveyor belt in an urban setting to access sunlight, ease the production process and maximize yield. For example, the conveyor belt climbs the west tower during the vegetative state of a plants life where sunlight is of greatest priority. Harvesting and planting are consolidated into a single area to simplify the production process.

HINGE APARTMENT COMPLEXtypology : Residential | location : Downtown San Diego
THE HINGE APARTMENT COMPLEX is perched atop a hill and uniquely stradles an I-5 off-ramp as travelers approach Downtown San Diego. The name is derived from the motion inwhich the parts of building are connect, span and The complex itself has a unique form that embraces the site. The form maintains a dialogue with the off-ramp and takes a position which views the traffic as a spectacle rather than a disturbance.
