Courtyard Typology Lifted Street Corner Two Continuous Paths Exterior Shaping Regular/Irregular Structure
Located within a historical neighborhood of New Orleans, the project is designed to sensitively address its context. Building width and floor to floor height are influenced by adjacent houses and light commercial complex. As a corner lot, the site offers the opportunity to inspire pleasant public impression approaching from both St. Claude street and St. Roch street.
In the resulted design, the lifted corner liberates the street corner to give the public an outdoor space surrounded by the various programs embedded within the building volume.

LOOP Facade Construction
The interior circulation of the project are two intertwined paths. One path connects commercial elements of the program while the other connecting educational and institutional elements. To maintain continuous activities, sloped floor plates are incorporated with appropriate programs. The roof surface becomes part of the journey as well where vegetation are planted for culinary purpose, creating pleasant platforms for the students and faculty of the institution.
Instead of exposing the diagonal structure, perspective imaginary skewing is applied to the skin of the building. On the utmost exterior surface, glass panels printed with culinary related images are installed where needed. On the inside of the diagonal structure, perferated metal panels applied with inversed images are installed where light control is required.

URBANSCAPE BIO-LINK Team Project, Large Site Planning
Circulation Surface Water Water Purifying System Intergrated SystemCommunal/Private Program
Inherent within the 25-acre site are the objectives of containing flood waters while handling and processing excessive water from the sur-rounding neighborhood. This project aims to bridge the gap between intervention of architecture and preservation of existing landscape.
Through the intergration of a complex water circulation system and an undulation architectural landscape, the project accommodates the required programs and support the communal activities, while preserving all existing live oaks and other valuable trees.
URBANSCAPE BIO-LINK Site Plan and Key Plans
Community Center Plan
The site is divided into four general zones. The north-west parcel of public program is comprised of a restaurant, a community center, a swimming
facility, and a natural pool filled with site-purified water via bio-remediation.
On the north-east corner, two large housing structures are surrounded by existing live oaks, filtering morning light. The south-west corner is
brown- and grey-water storage with a complex biological and mechanical water purification system. The south-east corner of the site houses farming
elements whose prodece serves both the on-site restaurant and the larger community.

LCM Louisiana Children’s Museum, Team Project
Gently placed above the natural lagoon in New Orleans City Park, the Louisiana Children’s Museum (LCM) project aims to intergrate itself with the beautiful landscape while minimizing its environmental impact.
To re-evaluate the common notion of a children’s museum, the building itself, both internally and externally, becomes part of the imaginative journey of various exhibitions. Interactive to the environment and its internal programs, the scales-like skin changes its opacity and its funtion accordingly.
West View
LCM Diagrams and Site Plan
The shape of the building expresses an analogy to the constant movement of a dancer. The active nature of kids is captured and solidified into a fluid architectural form.
When investigated in multiple sections, the form is respon-sive to its external conditions. The lifting and landing of the building shape not only supports itself but also creates dynamic interaction between the building, the pedestrians, and the natural elements.

GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME PERFORMANCE PAVILION
The Guardians Institute: Donald Harrison Sr. Museum and Cultural Center is an outgrowth of The Guardians of the Flame
Mardi-Gras Indian tradition.
The relatively simple program masks the great ambitions of the facilities purpose in the community. Suspended from the ground a large metal sheathed
shell covers an outdoor performance space, an enclosed classroom, washroom/ changing room and support space.
On occasions when the performance is on the ground and in the streets the stage and the oversized stairs become seating for a captive audience. Behind a
double layered surface of white poly-gal is an environmentally controlledclassroom space equipped with counter space, bookshelves and cabinetry for
storage. This space is primarily used for the well- established literacy program and other teaching endeavors of the institute.
Like the Mardi-Gras Indian ceremonial “Mask” the structure is a beacon of inspirational light to the community, in which it exists, inviting all to join in a
celebration of collective culture.
GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME PERFORMANCE PAVILION
Site Plan
Set deep within a double residential lot the structure celebrates the front yard as a community space for gathering. The large performance pavilion celebrates the porch as an outdoor space, not just a transitional space between inside and outside. Its height and breadth is informed by the size of a fully “Masked” chief, which can reach heights of over 8 feet tall.

Sukkah Design is a week-long, design-build program that is held every year for the Jewish holiday Sukkot. As a simple structure built for praying
and festival during the holiday, the Sukkah Lantern Sukkah project aims to provide an isolated sanctuary on the crowded campus.
Beetle_Bus Stop Revit + Adobe, Team Project
The Beetle is a bus stop that is more than a shelter. The goal of its form is to create two diagonally opposite openings for arriving buses on both sides with one simple and continuous gesture.
Parametric constraints are used in the shaping of this design. All adaptable constraints are manipulated to maximize comfort, appropriate dimension on site and general aesthetic.
DANAUS Design and Fabrication
Panels for CNC Fabrication
Bright and stunning, Danaus is realized by various panels that are made of CNC milled dense foam.
This digitally-designed installation celebrates the entrance of the Tulane School of Architecture building. Starting with the perspective illusion of a complete cube, the geometry and size of punctures gradually grow and morph into a more organic and liberated form that eventually fuctions as a pamphlet shelf.
