I choose this task because I wanted to make sure that everyone of us could work with appro-priate plans. I successfully got access to the paper plans version. I then digital them using RHINO and REVIT. I was able to give the students of my section a digital 3D model of the futur building we would be working on for the next part of this assignment.

The existing container on site has also been modified,tobebetterintergratewiththerestof my design. The major changes to it include the construction of a new slab as well as a protective and more aesthetic roof.Another essential aspect of the project is the rain water catchment system that has been added onto the new and existing roofs to collect the rain water. It will be used for watering all the new planters that have been integrated into the project. A great number of benches -8 large ones and 12 Smaller ones- have been strategically placed to allow visitors to have a pleasant area to rest, have lunch or gather. These seats are also public and semi-public areas. The surrounding trees will provide the much needed shade. A few planters have been incorporated to provide a more luxurious and soothing ambience.

HOUSING IN A TROPICAL CITYI was to conceive and design a small housing complex in a typical tropical city with specific pa-rameters. The important thing to consider here is the urban context, and the milieu of neighboring buildings. Since this is a housing of an assembly of residential units, I had to give consideration to the community aspects.

CUBELeK a l a n i M o l i n a / A r c h 4 1 5 / M a R i K i m - J o h n s o nThe downtown location is an asset for this project. The goal is to bring some life

back into downtown Honolulu after 5 pm. It would be like unveiling the center

of the city to let light, life and fun replace the darkness of the place.
