[bio-systems study]
w i n d
A biomimetic design approached was implemented to develop a skin [lattice-work] that was not only based on form, but also helps the building function. The pinecone served as inspiration not only because the highlands of Guatemala are filled with coniferous trees, but also for its structural elements that adapt to its surrounding environment.

[materiality]
Only about 25% of plastic bottles are recycled each year. The bottles are reused as a skin that also collects water and channels it to a filtration system.

COMALAPA | GUATEMALAAdvanced Studio Spring 2013
Design Excellence Award - Advanced Studio
Guatemalas 36 year long civil war and lack of quality infrastructure has caused many to go without clean drinking water. The current water infrastructure does not provide a reliable source of water and currently is not treated to a potable water standard. This affects children who have to spend time transporting water rather than attending school.
This proposed water distribution system will be built using plastic bottles of various sizes to create a skin that will filter water through a sand filtration system. The aqueduct is initially supplied using rain water stored in rainwater cisterns. The water distribution branches of the system serve as a collection center for clean water as well as a community gathering place that will tie to other water distribution branches.

SWIMMING POOL FACILITY| DENVERStudio Partner: Maria Delgado
Comprehensive Studio Fall 2012Design Excellence Muchow Award Winner
Located along the Platte River in the indus-trial RiNo District, this project intends to integrate water within the building and its site. It incorporates a water wall which functions as a natural water filter, a primary structural element and a thermal mass while also creating an experience for the users of the pool.

URBAN INFILL | DENVERStudio II Spring 2011
Located in the Highlands district, this proj-ect focused on designing a house for a narrow site wedged into an existing urban fabric.
The structure is made up of a repeated module that contains both public-private, enclosed-exposed, and service-served spaces. The modules are organized to create privacy and a range of spaces from the adjacent buildings.

Because the building is located deep in the forest, the glass panels serve as a bean to orient the visitor. At night, light will cause the panels to glow.
To decrease the impact of the building on the site, it is constructed of modular components to minimize construction waste. The stair contains a shaft for natural ventilation to help eliminate moisture from sports equipment in the lower level rental area. The main living space is located on the second floor to gain maximum sunlight exposure.

SKYLINE PARK | DENVERStudio III Fall 2011
This design literally and figuratively rejoins something that became separated over time. The edge of the park has been neglected. By emphasizing the park as the shelter, the design establishes the park to read as primary, and the street as second-ary. It does so by creating a visual link within the urban space. Certain design moves draw people into the park and provide a focus on pedestrian access between the two parks.
SHELTERS I T E A N A L Y S I S
SHIFT THE EDGE TO DRAW PEOPLE IN TO THE SPACE
RE-LINK THE PARK
CONCEPT
The continuous material link warns drivers of pedestrians crossing the street. The linear ribbon visually connects the two parks while providing other unique spaces.

To design flexible spaces for a rapidly grow-ing urban population, the design process was a study in fractals. Two primitives started the process by laying out potential open spaces and circulation paths. These primitives were then combined to create a component that offered a variety of grid options.
This component grid was then overlayed onto the site to fit existing site conditions where systems such as parcels, streets, canals, open space, and buildings were pulled out of the grid to create a flexible and integrated city.

URBAN DESIGN CHALLENGE | MINNEAPOLISJanuary 2013
Located in downtown Minneapolis near the Vikings stadium, this design competition challenged multidisciplinary graduate student teams to devise a comprehensive development program for a real, large-scale site. Our team of five different disciplines had two weeks to develop solutions that include drawings, site plans, tables, and market-feasible financial data.

DISPLAY | UC DENVEROctober 2012
Graffiti uses the city as her canvas sharing a temporary message with a mass audi-ence. Graffiti MetaMORPHosis uses a process of transformation to create form. As part of the process, graffiti MORPHS from a graphic pattern into volumetric com-ponents. The components MORPH in a series of generational models. The installa-tion is the result of a study in form-making that creates an interactive experience for an audience to participate and contribute.
