Project by B.Arch student Sara Gonzalez (@saragonzalezarchitecture) for Kristy Balliet's (@bairballiet) Fall 2025 Vertical Studio.

There's still time to apply for Fall 2026! Learn more about Undergraduate Programs at the link in bio.

Housing a youth, senior, and aquatic center, this project explores what the “center” means, both programmatically and geometrically. Drawing from the physics of the spinning top toy, this project utilizes the platonic circle to organize a series of stable centers and a changing edge. A wrapping band demonstrates this juxtaposition by serving as fixed circulation, or moveable seating depending on its distance from the 3 center points it navigates. The result is a grounded building that remains in a state of controlled flux depending on the present need of the surrounding community.

Just sharing a project from my recently concluded Spring 2026 vertical at SCI-Arc: Introverted form: collective void, Thick Ecology and Cultural Urbanism. A national museum imagined as a heavy civic mass and a vast interior carved from within, but also as a model to be handled, opened, pulled apart, and narrated. The physical object matters here. Not simply as a miniature of the building, but as a way of testing what Tafuri described in Piranesi: space as interior depth, structure, and tension rather than image alone.

Watch “Split Diopter 2” at the SCI-Arc Channel link in bio.

“Split Diopter 2” is a documentary centered on the exhibition curated by Jan Tumlir and Reza Monahan (@rezamonahanstudio), presented at the SCI-Arc Gallery in the summer of 2025. A sequel to “Split Diopter,” this iteration takes as its point of departure the cinematic device known as the split diopter, akin to bifocal glasses for the camera, in which a supplementary half-lens allows one side of the image to focus on a nearby object while the other is trained on something farther away, producing an image that is simultaneously shallow and deep, often marked by a visible seam.

Works by Uta Barth, Matthew Brannon, John Divola, Alex Israel, William E. Jones, and Hedi El Kholti form the core of the exhibition, accompanied by a commissioned soundtrack by Eyvind Kang. The exhibition also incorporates a dance work shot with a split diopter lens, choreographed by Brian Golden and performed by Jas Lin, Madison Ostrach, and Euseon Song, as well as a film featuring contributions from Stan Douglas, Lynne Marsh, Patti Podesta, Jeffrey Stuker, and Liam Young.

Register now for Making+Meaning at the link in bio. June 29 – July 24, 2026.

One room at SCI-Arc. Four weeks. A group of students who arrived expecting to learn software and left with something they didn’t come for.

Making+Meaning is a program about contemporary design tools. AI tools. Rhino. Grasshopper. 3D printers. Robotic arms. On paper it reads like a software bootcamp. In practice, the tools turn out to be the easy part.

The hard part is what happens in between. The moment a tool stops feeling foreign and starts feeling like a hand. The moment a room of strangers stops being a room of strangers. The moment a student with no design background realizes she’s designing. None of that shows up in a syllabus. All of it shows up here.

What the students take away isn’t the software. It’s the reflex. The instinct to reach for a tool they’ve never used and start trying. That’s the real curriculum. That’s what four weeks in this room actually teaches.

You can learn the software online. You cannot learn this online. You have to be in the place.

To kick off the Spring 2026 semester, MS in Architectural Intelligence students completed a 6 week workshop with guest advisor @sutherlinsanto. Students developed proposals for a fictional brand from physically prototyping smart apparel, to building out production pipelines for brand design guides and a flagship store utilizing claude/MCP based 3d modeling and 2d media production. The store design uses smart technology to integrate user experience and novel retail ideas.

There’s still time to apply for Fall 2026! Learn more about MS Architectural Intelligence at the Postgraduate Programs 💡 link in bio.

The West Los Angeles Veterans Administration campus has existed in prolonged crisis. Tents of unhoused veterans line the campus perimeter, while the HUD-VASH voucher process advances too slowly to meet demand. Housing is being developed, but slowly, and without supportive services. A burgeoning field of one-bedroom apartments will provide shelter, but lack the VA's intended emphasis on care. Asked to develop a supportive housing proposal for 101 unhoused veterans on the VA campus, this studio poses questions about architecture in a post-war condition. How can the formal organization of domestic functions foster a collective?

Analysis of models for collective living prompted considerations on the meaning of provision. This project proposes the intertwinement of domestic functions (cooking, bathing, dining) with a collective infrastructure. Efficiency in the distribution of utilities (plumbing, HVAC, gas lines, electrical lines) is achieved through planar symmetries. Communal kitchens, dining areas, bathrooms and showers are situated within the perimeters and centers of shared courtyards. Variations of unit types provide multiplicity in shared conditions. The displacement of ritual that would be otherwise private intends to foster collectivism at an intimate scale, resembling something between a house and a dormitory.

The West Los Angeles Veterans Administration campus has existed in prolonged crisis. Tents of unhoused veterans line the campus perimeter, while the HUD-VASH voucher process advances too slowly to meet demand. Housing is being developed, but slowly, and without supportive services. A burgeoning field of one-bedroom apartments will provide shelter, but lack the VA's intended emphasis on care. Asked to develop a supportive housing proposal for 101 unhoused veterans on the VA campus, this studio poses questions about architecture in a post-war condition. How can the formal organization of domestic functions foster a collective?

Analysis of models for collective living prompted considerations on the meaning of provision. This project proposes the intertwinement of domestic functions (cooking, bathing, dining) with a collective infrastructure. Efficiency in the distribution of utilities (plumbing, HVAC, gas lines, electrical lines) is achieved through planar symmetries. Communal kitchens, dining areas, bathrooms and showers are situated within the perimeters and centers of shared courtyards. Variations of unit types provide multiplicity in shared conditions. The displacement of ritual that would be otherwise private intends to foster collectivism at an intimate scale, resembling something between a house and a dormitory.

Watch “Worlds at SCI-Arc: Architecture Unbound” at the SCI-Arc Channel link in bio.

Students arrive at SCI-Arc from across the world, each bringing a different background and perspective on architecture. Michal Larysz from Poland, Liva Sadovska from Latvia, and Luis Moreno from Santiago de Cali, Colombia represent three distinct paths that converge inside the experimental studios of Los Angeles.

Through their reflections, this film explores what happens when architecture becomes a space for freedom and experimentation. At SCI-Arc, ideas are pushed beyond convention, theory meets fabrication, and students are encouraged to question how architecture can shape the world around them.

Moving between speculation and making, the school becomes a laboratory where imagination takes physical form. For these students, studying architecture is not simply about buildings, but about discovering the courage to experiment, challenge norms, and take risks, while remembering if you’re not having fun along the way, what’s the point?

This museum explores how architecture can shape a public experience through light, movement, and layered space.

The design features stacked modular volumes that, when shifted and combined, create a sequence of galleries, public spaces, and a clear circulation path for visitors.

An inverted glass pyramid at the entrance brings daylight to the lower level and establishes a strong visual identity, emphasizing the museum’s focus on transparency, openness, and spatial continuity.

Transparent art storage along the main staircase allows visitors to view stored artworks as they ascend, making circulation an active and immersive experience.

Larger glass surfaces on the upper levels provide abundant natural light, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and supporting sustainability goals.

A mesh façade wraps the building, filtering sunlight, softening the form, and minimizing glare to create a unified architectural expression. It reveals a spatial gradient from an open public ground floor to defined gallery spaces and lighter, more transparent upper levels.

Together, these elements create a museum that is open, fluid, and evolving, with architecture, light, and movement deeply interconnected.
