This project design originally began during my graduate studies. I participated in a design competition for Kawneer architectural aluminum building products and systems. For this project, I utilized a perforated aluminum panel system to develop operable façades. I designed a tide driven buoy system that controls the transparency of the east and west façades. Following graduation, I revisited the project and produced a design proposal package for the city of corpus christi. I developed the concept and design in further detail, then produced renderings and an animation presentation.
