EDU-CORR CINEMA
A film school located in the heart of the Los Angeles arts and industrial district, Edu-Corr connects pedestrian and bike transit along the 6th St. Viaduct from downtown and Boyle Heights into a campus that links into SCI-Arch. Educational and residential components are joined by a central courtyard, which is shaded by a PV canopy to supplement onsite energy needs. A western facade welcomes the community into the cinematic experience while eastern residences enjoy views out to a railside campus park.

TRIPOLI MEDIATHEQUE
Myriad underutiliized existing structures represent vast potential for renovation and reuse. A study in re-skinning structures yielded technical insight into the construction of cladding strategies, glazing systems and integration of services zones.

MONOCOQUE CANTILEVER
An exploration into the structural capabilites of stressed-skin construction and the manufacturing capabilities of digital fabrication, this study resulted in an ultra-lightweight cantilever that performed extraordinarily well under heavy loading conditions. Bending plywood was wrapped around an interior series of CNC routed ribs, which were held in place by 1/8 wooden dowels. The layering of the plywood was determined by the locations of the tensile and compressive forces present during testing.
