Diagrams and floor plans

Final Kaka’ako Community Dwellings design.  Programs implemented which influenced the design:  green roof/ grazing deck, vertical farming with plants goats chickens, rain water catchment, SWAC, Harvest Restaurant, Community markets, and solar panels in a tube.  21 units each with gardening space on their lanais.  Solar tubes can be sculptural and can be placed on the commercial building, would have enough space for about 4,500 sqft of solar panels, enough to power all of the units.

Sketch models for the tropical house design.  Looking at forms of seed shells to create walls and interior spaces.  Then introducing lighter materials for the roof and between shell forms.

Concept models and mixed-media piece for the tropical house design, ARCH 342.  Concepts of harmony; creating a balance with self and nature and a balance with materials.

Redesign of theater according to desired program of theater administration and creating a more respected cemetery.

“Garden Crossing”

Pedestrian bridge for the purpose of:

-Bringing people to the University, giving them a more enjoyable experience

-Shape based on site analysis of circulation routes and overall aesthetics

-Alleviates heavy traffic conditions which pedestrians add to in mornings going towards Manoa and afternoons leaving Manoa

-Light flowing form over the site and overall slope

-An appearance of a floating garden when walking across along side treetops and flowering plants on the bridge

No photoshop used, colors from light panels connected to the top of the courtyard at 5:30pm
