 | A pastel drawing for a senior-year project, which is also described on the model-making page. This project combined many very different programs, among them a community center and a cemetary. I physically separated those programmatic elements by this deep sloping channel (an "axis of life and death"), which also served to provide wheelchair access throughout the many-leveled site. Mirrors at the end of the channel served to visually extend the axis into infinity. |
| The community center, as seen from the parking lot. Because the community was very impoverished, it was designed to be economically built with pre-cast concrete, requiring only five re-usable pieces of formwork. The curving roof panels were designed to reflect natural light into the spaces below, while preventing direct summer light from entering the building. |  |
 | Inside the community center. This large space could be broken into many different sub-spaces via a system of moveable partitions. |
