COLLAGES

"EMOTIONS" COLLAGE

 Visiting the site was devastating because of the after effects of hurricane Sandy. Observing the site, emotions that were involved were cold, lonely, broken, deserted, and sad.

"PROGRAM" COLLAGE

When i think of filming, i ponder about images that deal with deception, photo shoots, camera, and flow. Also, Panorama pictures, which provides the ability to catch a wide scene in a single photo. When i design the film studios/ hotel i want my guests to experience all of the following at the same time.

"EDGE" COLLAGE

The word "Edge" in itself can be interpreted in many different ways by everyone. When i think of the word edge, the ideas of a waterfront, tip of a building, sharp corners, illusions, a membrane which divides space come to mind.

SAN DEIGO WATERFRONT

Why did i chose this city?

San Diego is a city of different flavors and topography. But it is, first and foremost, a waterfront city. What better way to take in the essence of the city than to take a walking tour of the downtown waterfront. The skyline, saltwater, gentle breeze and colorful sights all lend to a leisurely and interesting walk along the central part of San Diego Bay.

What caused the change of the waterfront?


One of the main reasons for the change at the waterfront was a flood that washed out most of the shore and waterfront of San Diego in 1916. In 1916, after a long drought, the city of San Diego hired rainmaker Charles M. Hatfield as a desperate measure to bring water to thirsty region. Debris of all kinds including broken parts of building, pilled up 20 feet high at obstruction on the beaches at the mouth of the canyons. the 1916 flood wiped out the Old Town bridge that crossed the San Diego river at the western end of Mission Valley. The flooding resulted in complete failure of the both structures; Sweetwater Dam (left) and Otay Dam(right).
