Group Project| Student worked on Transversal Section 1 and 2, South and West Elevation

Program Used: AutoCAD

Analytical Drawing Unfolding Plan Program Used:AutoCADAcademicIndependent

Project Description: Through careful examination of Renzo Piano’s Morgan Library analyze and redraw the plans,sections,and elevations of the project.

Project Description: Use Renzo Piano’s Morgan Library to create an analytical drawing that gives insight into the design of the project.

This unfolding plan of the Morgan Library illustrates a circulation path through the ground floor and gives a sense of spatial quality. The rotations seen indicate a change in direction.

Berkeley Art Museum Program Used:AutoCADAcademicIndependent

Project Description: Through experimenting with solid versus void a design was devised for the Berkeley Art Museum. The extractions of that form became courtyards, provided visual light-ness, and allowed for the entry of light. Program was strategically placed throughout to strengthen the circulation and allow for a public and private experience.

Group Project| Student worked on West Elevation and TransversalSection 1,2,3

Program Used: AutoCADAcademic

Project Description: This case study will serve as an exploration in form and use while adding a focus on assembly. The relationships between materials and con-struction in relation with experience and space. Study and redraw the plans, sections, and elevation of the Newton Library to learn about its tectonic system.

Center for Collaborative ResearchProgram Used:AutoCAD & Rhino 4.0AcademicIndependent

Project Description: The Center for Collaborative Research supports research that bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries. The building is designed to accommodate different possible futures of research. The site should actively instigate participation in from the regional, local and campus communities.

Study Model 2

Project Description: Design a Think Tank that enables the culture found in Berkeley.

The Berkeley Art Center facilitates creativity in music, photography, ceramics, and art. The ground floor plan of BAC breaks the rectilinearity of Telegraph Ave and is inviting to the public. The design of this think tank allows for visual access of the artistic spaces and a split in the program can be seen by a strategic use of offsetting.

Group Project| Student worked on Plan, South and East ElevationRender 1 & 2

Project Description: Design a wooden display case that can be incorporated to the existing concrete planters in front of Wurster Hall at UC Berkeley. The display case must be four feet high from the planter and cantilever three feet.

This simple and functional design serves as a display case and a table. Its strategic location on the planter allows for it to be used by multiple people at any given time. People are able to actively engage with the surrounding environment and the structure.

Project Description: Create a four to six foot steel structure employing a series of steel connections.

This spiral design employs both bolted and welded connections. At the top of the structure a series of steel cables create a nest that allows individ-uals to sit and interact with the structure.

UC Berkeley Wurster Hall Trellis

Project Description: Design a column plan and a hierarchy of beams for a trellis that will help you understand structure as an art form.

This trellis design incorporates the existing archi-tecture of UC Berkeley’s Wurster Hall courtyard. The angle of the beams allows for the transfer of forces throughout the structure and creates three distinct spaces: a swing, an easily accessible sitting area, and a bench.

Concrete Bridge 3’Span

Project Description: Produce a lightweight concrete bridge achieving maximum volume with minimum weight.

By creating a symmetrical design and using tension cables we were able to resist both lateral and verti-cal force. The X-shape of the design combined with the waffling created on the ramps allowed for a decrease in the weight of the project.

Project Description: Employ sustainable and daylighting techniques to design an additional gallery for the Louisiana Museum with climate conditions from Detroit, Michigan.

Our goal was to create a beautiful, naturally lit gallery, whose architecture was derived from the constraints of the climate. To minimize heat loss and maximize display space, a minimal amount of windows were used, having three choice openings in the building to serve three different purposes. A large window on the south façade is used for passive solar heat gain, a continuous clerestory along the east and north sides provides even, diffuse daylighting, and a long narrow window on the north façade of the building provides a view to exterior landscape.
