Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, the National Museum of Qatar has an interlocking disks design inspired
by the iconic desert rose.
While working at the site office, I drafted work quality reports and took process pictures for the architects. I transferred MEP from
AutoCAD files into Digital Project (BIM), and was responsible for communicating with contractors for door hardware proposals. I also performed additional tasks for the project manager using Rhino, Illus-
trator and Photoshop.

OvER THE RHINE
13
The 8’ neighborhood model, along with 6 different structures, created an interactive space to engage
the site through view, rest and promenade.
Planes of MDF were screwed on the structural frame, made of 2 x 4s to create spaces within
the 8’ cube. The construction was then bolted on poured concrete to level the model on the ground.
THE PAvILION
16
The diagonals of the model are known for its structural stability as it obviates large columns which
means less load for the foundation.
using a Diagrid concept, a module is tessalated, arrayed and altered to created spaces. variations of detailed units as well as cavities are formed to
push the limits of 3D Printing.
DIAGRID MEMBRANE
17
A diagonal cut is made on material in order to cut the surface of the triangles with a CNC Milling
Machine.
DIAGRID vOID
18
Further exploring the diagrid form and its characteristics,two diagrid columns wrap around to create a
spaceframe structure. Like roots of a tree finding its way into the ground, the design strives to create one-ness into
the forest for a biodiversity research center.
MISBEHAvED TECTONIC
20
Designed in 2011 for a competition, the emblem, Jar Saleh, means “ Good Neighbor,” promoting good relations between the u.S. and Qatar. This logo has b een used on shirts, coins and official
documents.
The rising sun of Qatar welcomes the u.S. to the rolling desert, representing the friendship and
beauty of international teamwork.
GOOD NEIGHBOR
21
A drawing from freshman year of exploring lines, planes and volume to create interesting
spaces within a framed dimension.
