born in the heart of silicon valley, california, ali grew up surrounded by innovation and knowledge. ever since she was a young girl, the idea of architecture appealed to her and she dedicated her schooling to preparing herself for architecture school. now, she is proud to call herself an architec-ture student at california polytechnic state university, san luis obispo and is more than willing to dedicate the rest of her life to what she loves. to ali, architecture is more than just a job, it is a passion and a way of expressing herself in a unique way. when she is not doodling in her sketchbook, she is riding horses, playing music, and exploring the world around her.
From music to modern art to food, San Francisco is known as one of the greatest hubs for the arts. Demi-Glace takes a look into the life of culinar y artists, providing them a place where they can live, study, and create their art all under one roof. The building will serve as an artist in residence, giving new chefs the opportunity to develop their skil ls and learn how to run a real business that they can later give back to San Francisco.
1 Artist in Residence
Site Analysis The site is located on the corner of Valencia Street and 18th Street in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. The Mission District is known for its thriving arts community and diverse population, making it a perfect place for an artist in residence. In my site analysis, I took queus from the surrounding site, drawing lines from windows, building lines, and sun angles to create preliminary 2D and 3D spatial studies

The constant challenge in living in today ’s society involves balancing quality of life with convenience of car, a comfortable, private home, and quick access to city culture. This project is an exploration into the idea of suburban-urban living: combining the perks of suburban living while reducing the negatives: vast land-use, isolation, lack of community, and dependence on cars for transportation. Reno serves as the backdrop for this study, as one of the largest suburban dominated cities in the United States with a great potential for so much more.
2 Suburban Strip Mall
Site Analysis 2The site is located just outside of Downtown Reno at the intersection of I-80 and Stardust Street, currently occupied by an abandoned bowling alley. Just to the northwest of the lot is one of the larger suburban communities, making the site a perfect junction between Downtown Reno and residential living.

The Boiler Room is a music project which began less than a decade ago in London when two friends decided to put on a DJ set from an unused boiler room and stream it on the internet. Today, the Boiler Room hosts hundreds of similar shows worldwide and continues to grow in popularity. This design project aims to bring the Boiler Room to the heart of San Francisco and provide a headquarters for the organization where artists and the public can per form, learn, and interact with each other.
