“Re”purpose “Re”claim “Re”design
This project proposes a future hybrid construction typology. It involves the “Re”purposing of an existing landfill site to transform it into a live manufacturing facility that produces a novel building material called “RE”composite. The aim is to “RE”claim construction inert debris, offering an alternative solution to the depletion of finite resources and the substantial amount of construction waste generated in our current era. The ultimate goal is to “RE”design our cities for the future.THESIS
Solar Futures Residence
Solar Futures Residence, located in Woodbury University in Burbank, CA, is a Solar Decathlon build challenge winner named and awarded Most Innovative Construction Technology. It is the first 3-D printed unit in Los Angeles, California. The winning concept relies on the 3D-printed, low-carbon, micro-living campus housing structure fully powered by renewable energy source. The unit manages housing insecurity and global warming by proposing a viable and affordable housing solution.
Enviornmental Exodus
This project is a call to action as a result of sea level rise that affects both costal infrastructure and the Ballona wetlands in Marin Del Rey. As a result, multiple primary structures will take over the ocean as the result of the ocean taking over the land. (Sea enter the land | Land enters the sea). The new structures found in the ocean will now contain the natural wildlife "earth" once did and force an exodus of both wildlife and human presence to shift to the new idea forms of living. -
