Projects
Art in Motion
Spring 2022
Art in Motion is a project I did in the spring quarter of my second year. The purpose of the project was to design a parkour park in the existing site Meadow Park, San Luis Obispo. We were also instructed to incorporate graffiti in some aspect of the park. To achieve this, I used art in different forms as the focus for the design of my entire park. I also wanted a space that anyone could enjoy, whether they wanted to use the parkour elements or not. I installed a graffiti sculpture garden and graffiti sculptures in multiple plaza entrances in order to showcase this form of art in the park. I also added a children's play area with smaller parkour elements as well as regular playground equipment in order to introduce them to this sport. There is also a seating area and a tunnel going through the parkour area so any visitor can be immersed in the experience. Additionally, I redesigned the rooftop of the existing building to be an area for local art to be showcased, tying this part of the design into the overall theme.
Imagination Islands
Spring 2022
Imagination Islands is a group project I did in the spring quarter of my second year with three of my classmates. The purpose of the project was to design a children's park in the existing site Meadow Park, San Luis Obispo that encompasses the theme "a world of enchantment." This was the first large project I had worked on in a group. We created the entire concept as a group and then split up the work for various parts of the final presentation. I worked with one other student to create the master plan. I also created the grading and enlarged plan. The enlarged plan included new textures to give a more realistic idea of this section of the park. This was my first experience creating plans digitally, and I am very pleased with how it came out.
Resort on Water
Winter 2022
Resort on Water is a project that I did during the Winter quarter of my second year. We designed 3.76 acres of land on a 32"x 20" model. There was no given existing site. The purpose was to design the entire area with a balance of landform, built form, and plant form. I used sharp triangular shapes to connect the forms in my design. I created a resort in a tropical climate where the built form primarily exists above and around the body of water.
Contouring and Bioswales
Winter 2022
During winter quarter of my second year, I took a course where I first learned how to calculate, interpolate, and manipulate grading plans in order to respond to specific design goals, improve site drainage, and adhere to ADA requirements. I have provided a couple projects I completed throughout this course.
