LA RIVER RESEARCH CENTREProtoype for Radiant Cooling
INTEGRATING the protoype into the LA New Tech Corridor and solving the problem of heat gain in these buildings due to the excessive useage of technology by designing a structure that utilizes water from the river. The pipes that carry water perform both structurally for its form and the building’s energy system through the process of RADIANT COOLING.

BATHHOUSE PAVILIONAdapting to Desert Conditions
The site is composed of two dominant elements, LAND and SKY. The HORIZON LINE is thus a major defining factor. By utilizing a compressive “land” material and a tensile “sky” material that interact in various ways to generate program conditions.

FASHION RUNWAYMove: Folding and Expanding
The site is a space inside a building that requires a fashion runway that incoprates various program requirement through the variation of one design move which is the folding inward of adjacent surfaces surfaces to expand the 2 surfaces to be-come a three dimensional usable space.
