In the colony of Tacubaya Mexico City, inhabitants live in a mid to low-level economy with large families including children. In this specific part of Tacubaya, two elementary schools exist nearby with residential housing on the upper floors and commercial businesses on the ground. This building is a two bedroom living condominium, a bike workshop/education center and restaurant that inhabit the lower spaces.

Inspired by the architectural section perspectives of Atelier Bow-Wow, this perspective is aimed to practice the art of line drawing. Specifically examining materials, space, and context, this drawing is a unique method to represent an architectural design project.

This play structure was guided by a narrative and designed based upon that narrative for a an architecture course at the University of Washington. The story is about two childhood friends who grew up and together and wanted to imitate similar experiences they had when they were children, in a built form for other children to enjoy.

This artesian paper mill is designed to respond to the act of making paper. By weaving together elements of the paper making process. A thin membrane wraps around the exterior. The interior structural columns mimic elements of a paper-making screen. The structure concrete floors weave horizontally and vertically to create cohesive sharp openings to allow natural light into workspaces.

Discovery Park Seattle, WA

In an exploration of Seattle’s discovery park, students were asked to design a semi public structure for children to learn and interact with the surrounding area. This building is located 100 feet from the shore and has three main shear walls that each have specific functions. One wall acts to encourage land erosion, one wall blocks the harsh waves, and the third wall allows calm water to flow through and redistribute sand into the sand bar. The top floor is the sleeping area while the lower floor acts as an outdoor classroom and interior laboratory to analyze samples taken from Discovery Park beach.

All of the audio playing behind the female mannequin are sound clips recorded in Mexico City. The clips are recorded and manipulated with audio software in a compilation of sounds. Some of the clips are completely unrecognizable and others are very clear, but every sound has a specific rhythm, which is recorded from the city, looped, and manipulated. The audio is a variation of naturally occurring rhythms that are found in the city. The inspiration of this abstracted piece is derived from listening to the naturally occurring chaotic sounds of Mexico City which make it exceptionally unique.

At Cavanaugh Bay Resort Bar I was contracted to complete decorative branches through a technique taught to me by my employer Robert Sevilla. Robert designed the piece as I fabricated a large branch wall and three pieces above the bar. By using a small round rod material, bending and tack welding into a form, an arc welder is then used to blend the multiple rods together. Upon completion of the arc welder, the form is then ground smooth and wire brushed. Then patina is applied and sealed with a matte wax to protect the finish.

This conceptual project is specifically designed for 4th year undergraduate students, to explore representation methods through a narrative out of the book: How About This by Raymond Carver.My concept is to show visually through space, what silence and isolation means to me in Carvers story.

"Silent now as she looked out at the cleared fields, at the isolated stands of fir trees, at the occasional weathered house."

This architectural exercise is aimed to gather information of a built structure without the use of a measuring tape to explore space in relation to the human scale. Although a hand drawn project, axonometric hand drawn renderings with pencil and paper have become an extremely useful tool to depict accurate portrayals of architectural space when no other tools exists but the naked eye, pencil and paper.

By pondering the majestic qualities nature has to offer, the lens through which we see becomes more attentive, while analysis becomes an extension of creativity. The graphic tools that aid in considerate, thoughtful design are already produced in some form by nature and extraction of that knowledge is art within itself. I've used the practice of these principles to combine a compilation of attributes graphic analysis poster..

1) RAINWATER USERainwater that finds its way through gaps in the PV array and onto building surfaces is col-lected and carried by downspouts to a 56,000 gallon cistern in the basement. Rainwater cur-rently supplies a number of non-potable fix-tures in the building including toilets, hose bibs, and irrigation systems. Once permission is granted, rainwater will be purified through a series of filters and UV light to supply potable rainwater to all of the faucets, showers and dishwashers in the building.

3) AEROBIC COMPOSTINGUsed water that drains from sinks, showers and dishwashers empties by gravity to a grey-water holding tank in the basement. From there it is pumped up to the constructed wet-land located on the third floor terrace facing Madison Street. Greywater is distributed through perforated pipes into this sub-surface wetland, where organisms residing among the roots of the water-loving equisetum and on surfaces of the crushed shale, consume or-ganic matter in this water. This treated greywa-ter then flows by gravity to a planted drain-field located within the sidewalk planting strip along the northwest corner of the building. Any water that hasn’t returned to the atmo-sphere through evapotranspiration is treated even further in a drainfield at the southwest corner, also planted with equisetum. Water trickles through a sandy, compost amended soil layer, then infiltrates into the native soils below through a series of drywells. This entire system has been design to accommodate an average daily flow of approximately 345 gal-lons.

2) GREYWATER TREATMENTUsed water that drains from sinks, showers and dishwashers empties by gravity to a grey-water holding tank in the basement. From there it is pumped up to the constructed wet-land located on the third floor terrace facing Madison Street. Greywater is distributed through perforated pipes into this sub-surface wetland, where organisms residing among the roots of the water-loving equise-tum and on surfaces of the crushed shale, con-sume organic matter in this water. This treated greywater then flows by gravity to a planted drainfield located within the sidewalk plant-ing strip along the northwest corner of the building. Any water that hasn’t returned to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration is treated even further in a drainfield at the southwest corner, also planted with equise-tum.

This entire system has been design to accom-modate an average daily flow of approxi-mately 345 gallons.Ra

This infographic poster was made for the Bullitt Center to easily explain how the water systems perform. The original image was produced by an intern at Miller Hull. I reused images to refine and condense the overall concept into a more cohesive and understanding manner in this 48”x 36” poster.
