Washington High School, located on the SE side of Portland, has been void of its intended use since 1981. This project was intended to explore both the development and historic preservation side of repurposing this building recently deemed a local historic landmark. My main goals were to allow for a mixed, diverse community within the one complex while maintaining the central place of gathering for the neighborhood, allowing for a more active commercial street, and providing spaces for new emerging businesses to thrive.

CONWAY ReDevelopment Scheme
Looking at the Conway Development site, keeping in mind the goals of the developer and the context of the Slabtown district, I wanted to provide a space that would meet the requirements of a successful public square: Service to COMMUNITY, Generating SOCIAL Life, Support CIVIC Engagement and the ECONOMY of the Neighbourhood. Therefore my square has retail spaces on all four sides, providing for a variety of scales of businesses, including corporate, small businesses owners, and public open market space. The two civic buildings that anchor the square are the Community center on the ground level and the elevated Community Theatre across. Offices and Residential on the upper floors support the developers need for revenue on the site.

Therefore my square has retail spaces on all four sides, providing for a variety of scales of businesses, including corporate, small businesses owners, and public open market space. The two civic buildings that anchor the square are the Community center on the ground level and the elevated Community Theatre across. Offices and Residential on the upper floors support the developers need for revenue on the site. My building is a midrise residential segment between the public square and park, a prime real estate location. I wanted to take advantage of the views and connection between both by creating a through unit. This lead to a Corbusian-model section, with two main circulation corridors and units that wrap up or down and around the corridor. The circulation towers provided unique opportunities for efficiency apartments. The mix of widths of apartments as well as different unit types, allow for a range of tenants to occupy the building, creating a more diverse pocket-like community, with shared common spaces and amenities. The rooftop allows for shared garden beds, as well as event space and outdoor patio. While below the ground floor supports a large restaurant and bar, shop and open-air market.

Goose Hollow Urban Design AnalysisThis was an Urban Design study to explore how we could increase the density of the neighbourhood to allow for future population growth in the city. Our solution was to appeal to the students and workforce housing markets by building up. Empty lots currently used for parking will be replaced by buildings. Parking would be condensed into four story structures, encouraging people to walk down the streets thereby activating the new commercial development. The ground floor will house the most commercial activities and restaurants, keeping the historic district connected functionally to the JELD-WEN field and the Lincoln high school activity buzz. This growth would allow for a more viable model for growth and more vibrant community in Goose Hollow.

lincoln high school, being one of the main programmatic features of the goose hollow neigh-borhood also acts as its own mini-sub district, however the high school turns its back to the neighborhood facing the unsightly I-405.
lincoln high school
goose hollow currently houses two religious insti-tusions for the neighborhood. these churches are catalysts for people of the neighborhood to congregate in a public environment.
religious institutions
the oregonian and other buildings such as the volkswagon building are landmarks in the community creating a structure that the neigh-borhood can strongly relate to. these buildings are important places for the community and holda historic reference to what once was.
the oregonian
jeld-wen field is the programmatic feature that notonly takes up the largest foot print, but brings in the most pedestrian traffic. the field and its adjacent parking structure are its own entity providing a one stop shop for a game and a gym for the neighborhood to use

"Urbanism is always made from places that are mixed in uses, walkable, human scaled, and diverse in population; that balance cars with transit; that reinforce local history; that are adaptable; and that support a rich public life." Urbanism in the age of climate change bu Peter Calthrope
Group: Jesse Alvizar, Haley Blanco, Grace Aaraj Professor: Gerry Gast
The historic district, while rich in Character and history, seems to fade in substantial buildings the closer it gets to Lincoln High. We are proposing some higher density mixed use buildings around the Max line, while filling in the surface parking with new midrise development further South. Taylor Street will become a pedestrian only greenway with small park blocks inbetween the intersecting streets. As this street is less of a main traffic road, it is the perfect opportunity to create a place where workers, residents, and the neighboring high schoolers can come for a break.
Historic districtproposed urban development
To revitalize this part of 21st street, many of the existing warehouses are going to be repurposed for more commercial and everyday uses while keeping with the scale of the neighborhood. These new developments are going to be mixed use with active storefronts relating to the street. Some of the large surface parking lots in the area, that do not create a friendly walking environment will be sites for new buildings. A space will be cleared in between two existing buildings to create a new, active restaurant cooridoor. This will serve as a new nightlife area for the residents living in the apartments to the West as well as spill over from games. Lighting and greenery will be added to the street direct-ly adjacent to the feild to allow for a safer feel for pedestrians. This overall improvement will accomo-date more interaction in the area and promote economic growth . Bringing in density and new buisi-ness will bring more people from outlying areas.

Urban Infil & Densification Urban Infil , Densification & Green Space
In this project, set in Paris, France, I wanted to create a different experience for the children as they went through their day in primary school. I created a plan as a sort of village, in which each “municipal” had their own distinguishable building. The classrooms were paired together by grade, and stacked in a procession throughout the site. The initial entrance to the space leads to a formal “administrative” courtyard, which allows all the public programmatic spaces to border. The students can meander through the space to process further into the informal or student courtyard in which all of the classroom units face. This almost urban sort of design allows not only for pockets of green spaces and natural light to enter all rooms in the building, but affords the children both the freedom and responsibility to travel from one building to the next and physically witness the ascension as you progress from one grade to the next. This model will make them more aware of their surroundings, expose them more to nature throughout the day, and give them a sense of maturity and control of their daily lives.

This semester long capstone project aimed to test all aspect of our architectural education that we had learned thus far, including site analysis and development, programming, design, structure, and internal systems. The site was located in Savoye, Illinois. I drew my initial design concepts from the prevailing site forces and airport runway design. I wanted to create a cohesive and concise plan that afforded easy access and circulation while keeping the public, quieter spaces separate from the louder mechanical spaces. So with the circulation I provided both a central spine connecting all spaces to one another but also a crucial divide for the building’s needs. Each programmatic space responds to its most prominent sight force, with the classrooms benefitting from the North light, the large hangar roof slanting to collect rainwater, and the offices designed with louvers to optimize sun shading. The largest spaces are the shops and hangar which require high ceilings and thick walls to contain sound and allow for industrial equipment and storage. The structure systems for each programmatic area vary to further enforce the separation of space and use.

When designing a new sustainable home model for the Midwest Chapter of Habitat for Humanity, we wanted to find a reasonably inexpensive and versatile form of building that would withstand the extreme weather flux. We decided on structurally insulated panels or SIPs to provide both the strength and insulation needed to hold up against Midwestern winters. This also helped us stay within $100,000 construction budget as well as the 1,070 sq.ft. limit. To make the layout most efficient we came up with a utility core which centralizes all water usage to an island in the middle of the house that divides the house into its private and public spaces. By keeping all plumbing in this central wall we simplify the construction process and allow for maximum storage on the outer walls.

Our site is in the residential neighborhood of Champaign, IL, just North West of the main University of Illinois campus.
Typical lot sizes in Champaign county are 50’ x 160’ with a front set back of 25’ and side set backs of 6’.
Champaign is located in the Midwest region, with high winds from the NE and an average mean temperature of 50 degrees F.
The city of Champaign has access to an expansive public transportation system, as well as a slew of parks and recreation.
The design radiates from a utility core which includes a shared plumbing wall and central HVAC system for maximum flexibility and efficiency. The core creates a clear division of public and private space within the home, with the main living area being on an open plan which benefits from southern solar gain as well as space efficiency. The design can be easily reoriented around the core, making it appropriate for multiple lot variations.

Creating the house using SIPs allows for a rapid construction process and great flexibility in the planning of future homes. Because the panels are premanufactured and lightweight the house could be constructed in a single day, as well as expanded to meet the needs of larger families. The house and window placement can also be easily rearranged to adapt to the solar and lighting conditions of each lot. The exterior would be finished with an adhered vinyl paper that would weatherprood the house and make for a durable yet customizable facade. Adding PV panels to the South facing roof would reduce the energy cost and make for a more sustainable home. We designed the gutters to lead to a rainwater catchment system that could potentially be a water cistern underground that feeds our centralized plumbing or serve as irrigation to the planted vegetation.

The goal of ZEROs is the design of a residence that keeps its occupants healthy and comfortable at minimum cost. There are an infinite noperation, but only a few that achieve net zero in a cost efficient manner. Using ZEROs is very simple, but the results are not. A complex array of decisions must be made, as in the actual design and choose input data related to the house location, structure, costs, comfort & ventilation control, and house equipment.

The House Settings worksheet also contains iindentify whether or not they are maintaining a healthy indoor environment as well as an energy efficient residence. Three worksheets provide detailed results information. The House Output sheet is a matrix of output data showing thermal, lathe year. Note that there are many interactions among a home's appliances, people, and comfort conditioning systems. For exthe winter in northern locations, while increasing the air conditioning load during summer conditions. The Thermal Energy andetails for each month of the year, allowing one to observe the annual trends in energy flows through a house. Can you design a net zero home? We think you can.

A competition to rebuild Joplin, MO after the tornado in 2011 challenged us to develop a concept home with the prompt of “essential dwelling” within 1,000 sq. ft. limit. My landscape architecture partner and I decided it was crucial for this new home to meld landscape and living in order to create a restorative environment for the users. With that in mind we developed a scheme that incorporated views throughout the house and created an efficient but comfortable home. The structural system of insulated concrete panels will help to resist the strong winds of the tornado region. Built in furniture allows for maximum storage and the stacking of program allows for separation of public and private spaces. With the East-West orientation of the city, the two-story house allows for a shaded northern garden, where the bedroom and living room windows are located. The major window on the West, street-facing facade allows a permanent connection to the community and the East, garden-facing facade creates an intimate yet spectacular view to the backyard. These three major views allow for a constant connection to nature and openness in the space.

SAFE BOX| LOOK AFTER YOUR TREE AND IT WILL LOOK AFTER YOU!OUR CASE
•January 2010 - Teresopolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil•Major floods, mudslides and landslides caused by torrential rain•More than 400 people died and over 1000 people lost their homes•The majority of deaths and destruction happened in the favelas built on the hillside illegally and where the living
conditions are very poor•The hillside is the only place these victims can build and they will move back there as soon as possible, even if the
ground is still unstable •The people living in the favelas improve their house over time in function of their ressources and the amount of time
they have been living on their site. From a simple, one room shelter, their home will transform into a two story house
OUR INTENTIONS AND CONCEPT•Stabilise the ground by planting trees and vegetation•Show the inhabitants how to build a stronger structure for their house with the material we give them by building an example of a house around a tree•For every house that is built a tree must be planted•The people will have to learn how to live with the tree and use it in the architecture of their house•The house must evolve and grow with the tree in strength and size, the house must not grow faster than the tree’s roots•The more the tree grows the more it will offer them protection, stable ground and stable foundations. So to be safe the people need to look after the tree

This 1 week intensive project allowed us to work in collaboration with French students to solve a natural disaster issue. My team chose the mudslides in the Rio de Janiero area of Brazil where we focused on the low class housing called favelas along the hillside in the city Teresopolis. With unstable ground and an immediate need to rebuild, we proposed a system of replanting to prevent future landslides as well as providing the people with a more stable solution to their existing building methods. We devised a system of building on piloties to allow for future rain fall and mudslides to avoid damaging the home and integrating the house around a tree that will stabilize the ground beneath the house and provide the family with shelter, safety, and security.

Sketching is a valuable tool that helps one better understand the built and natural environment around them. One can easily pass by a building and overlook the details or underestimate the design. Sketching requires the viewer to carefully observe the object in all dimentions of complexity and perspective.

After my Junior year, I had the privilege of partaking in a volunteer trip to Honduras with a local school chapter to help build an elementary school. This new school would serve children in 15 surrounding communities. We were able to receive hands on site experience, work with the lo-cals, along with doing physical labour. I helped level land, mix cement, tie rebar, lay CMUs, and build up columns.

Working with Locals Building up Wall Rock Fill
AiS allowed me to team up with two local architects as well as a second grade teacher in NE Portland. Together we came up with our own lesson plan to teach the kids about community and the impact buildings have on the environment. In conjunction with the teacher, we facilitated discussion about what pieces are necessary to have a successful community. Outside of the classroom we created a base with 8 individual model pieces that could be removed and worked on by each student group. After discussion and deliberation on what buildings should be in our community, each group was assigned a building type and proceeded to work in teams to create their individual model. Once the students finished, we helped with group presentations and prompted further discussion on how to connect the buildings with means of travel. Overall, it was a great experience and I was surprised to see the overall awareness that most of the students seemed to have about social and building issues.
