Description:

based on the diversity of culture of china town, the library is a specialty library where it archives math and science books, periodicals, journals and other finding by professionals. math is a universal language and can be the connection to bring the community together and have fun intelligent talks about the future of science and technology. the program is driven by the main atrium bookcase stacks where the all the program wraps around from. all the spaces are continuous where the circulation is embellished with study spaces and informal class rooms. as you maneuver through the spaces, spaces contract [private] and expand [public] for a controlled feel of a different space. the subleveled auditorium has a private entrance. the lounge is placed near the ground floor and for prevention of noise traffic, the private and public study spaces are placed away enough from the busy cross section of chrystie st. and Grand st.

Description:

the program configuration is formed in a pivoting order, unwinding to lower levels. the most public spaces; gallery and studio are placed in the highest elevations and the most private; studio and living areas are places at lowest level closer to the enclosed/private area of the hill. all pivoting spaces lead to a central spine of circulation. from these spaces, there is opportunity to view and experience landscape from diference vantage points. Gradients of structural and louvers systems emgerge to depict light in an aggregate order.

Description:

the design is made up of two mechanisms, one in where the pieces are short, and dense. the other are more open and are longer, and thinner pieces make up the structure. together, the two fliter light in an scattered, aggregate and gradational order. Like antony Gromley’s could Xi, the human figure is illustrated a gradation using perpendicular “t” elements. with this tectonic system, the organization had to seem like an organized mess. walking through this tectonic canopy, the center of the square is void and a square ring gradates from the center, out. the darkest part of the canopy, is where it imprint onto the ground excavating to a deeper level.

Description:

the project endures a hybrid outreach to connect the community and engage the public to an outdorr experience in the presence of the historic acequia madre de valero. the project deals with the hybrid site, the urban side of broadway ave and the park. it places the most dense program along the urban edge.

*Placed first of 48 enterys in the sophomore design competition at san antonio college and was exhibited at the aia san antonio office and featured at as student work in the aia san antonio awards banquest in october 2012.

Description:

the site is located on main st. and Locust. acting as an architecture and engineering school, the addition to alamo colleges link architecture and engineering spaces together to with double height spaces, mezzanines and a grand atrium penetrating through the whole building in order to have a unified space for both kinds of students. the program is configured in an hierarchical order from sophomore design in the highest floor, freshmen studio following in the fourth floor, and classrooms leading to the middle floors. the building is pushed to the urban edge of main st. and creates a pocket park to give a separation from the residential areas on the west.

Description:

a development to integrate public transportation transform the way people interact on a daily basis is approaching. the project was realized to address the pedestrians coming from the amtrak rail, the street car and other modes of transportation by configuring a mix-use program of commercial, retail and residential; therefore, collaborating ideas with two other projects and reacting to the transportation hub.

Description:

a new movement in texas called for a new facility to habit the roller Derby Girls. this projects as as a catalyst for [re]activating the west-side creeks of san antonio, specifically martinez creek at w. woodlawn ave. inter-ating life, nature, and the roller derby girls through inspired architecture; in designing a container capable of inspiring choreography of movements. in capturing the movements of the derby girls, earth was raised to create a sound barrier of the bouts from the residen-tial area and separating it from the street at gear it towards the creek. the roof captured the movement of the event pointing south towards the southwestern winds and marti-nez creek.

Description:

the design for the “Public art bus shelter” in san antonio’s westside cultural corridor encourages the body to [re]activate itself through architec-ture through an exploration of movement and [re]integrate life and culture in this space.

the bus stop is site influenced. it points to the direction of the bus route . it provides a screena of shade from the southern sun and cools and livens up the area with vegetation.
