Royal Caribbean × ArtCenter

Experience a vibrant Caribbean island with stunning jungle exploration and a relaxing tropical atmosphere. By incorporating different types of experiences on the island, for example the forest, beach, and ocean, our project aims to cater to a wider range of interests and ages. By doing so, we can create a more diverse and inclusive vacation experience for everyone on the cruise. For this project, sponsored by Royal Caribbean, we were given a space on the ship to redesign. The main space we were given to redesign was the dome of Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas.

KONAMI: GAMIFIED SPORTS GYM CONCEPT

One of the leading reasons for people to opt out of exercising is the lack of motivation and achievements. With the help of Konami, my project aims to promote the importance of physical health among the average Americans through changing traditional games into an exercise activity, which helps motivate and engage people to play the newly inclusive gamified sport.

JOSHUA TREE: OASIS OF MARA VISITOR CENTER CONCEPT

CONCEPT · INTERPRETIVE ENVIRONMENT · VISITOR EXPERIENCE

The redesign of the Oasis of Mara Visitor Center creates an immersive experience that connects visitors to Joshua Tree's history, wildlife, and desert ecosystem. Designed to resemble a large greenhouse, the building showcases native desert plants while symbolizing conservation and blending with the surrounding landscape.

The concept of layers guides the design. As visitors move through the building, each layer reveals a different aspect of Joshua Tree—from its geology and native vegetation to its wildlife, cultural history, and the Oasis of Mara. The architecture becomes a journey of discovery, inspiring visitors to understand, appreciate, and protect the desert environment.
