Atlas for the end of the world Research Project, Ongoing Planet Earth Team: Richard Weller, Chieh Huang, Claire Hoch
Atlas for the Beginning of the Anthropocene Coming almost 450 years after the world’s first Atlas, this Atlas for the End of the World audits the status of land use and urbanization in the most critically endangered bioregions on Earth. It does so, firstly, by measuring the quantity of protected area across the world’s 36 biodiversity hotspots in comparison to United Nation’s 2020 targets; and secondly, by identifying where future urban growth in these territories is on a collision course with endangered species. By bringing urbanization and conservation together in the same study, the essays, maps, data, and artwork in this Atlas lay essential groundwork for the future planning and design of hotspot cities and regions as interdependent ecological and economic systems. 4

This aquarium is a museum of water, not an “aquatic zoo” Inspired by natural phenomena of water erosion and water ripple imprinted in the sand when water found its way back to the ocean, The “Watermark “Aquarium is not only a cultural place where people can peek into the mysterious and fascinating parts of the ocean, but also it offers the intimate experience between visitors and water by resembling the different states of water as it flows though different programs from urban land to the water’s edge along the East River in New York. 12

Visitors is welcomed by a gigantic water tank sitting in the central atrium space with the Manhattan skyline view as the background. The central water tank is the pivot point of navigation in the aquarium. Visitors circulating though different exhibition areas have an unique experience of flowing gradually from deep sea to sunlight zone, even to upland river zone when approaching to the outdoor plaza with direct sunlight. The “Watermark” erodes one solid aquarium architecture to several pavilions intertwined with waterfront park and Marine Research center. It is not only reactivating the water edge, but turns itself into a new nature getaway where visitors and residents can discover and explore organisms from freshwater to marine ecosystems. 16

Watermark the seasons The new NYC Watermark redefines the meaning and functions of an aquarium. It is not only about fish, it is about water. Instead of being just another “aquatic zoo,� it is a civic ground for active human engagement with water. A series of waterfront landscapes optimizes the experiential, ecological, and resilient performances through constructing elevational changes and diverse programming.
18
The park can be experienced year-round: In the spring, the see-through lookout with spring blossoms offer a great view of the Manhattan skyline as well as the industrial pier structure; During summer, you can rent a paddle board or kayak and cruise along the 11th St Basin; Swing back around October for the fall foliage on the riverbank boardwalk; And last but not least, the new ice skating rink in the winter that overlooks Roosevelt Island and Manhattan across the East River.

GROWING CHINAMPA Cuernavaca Railway Park Competition, 2016 Mexico City, Mexico Team: Chieh Huang, A. Huang, C. Lee, Z. KH
A new linear park that grows with Mexico city Growing Chinampa envisions a safer, greener, and friendlier urban linear park that threads through and grows into the 22 diverse colonias touching the Cuernavaca Railway. A series of modular public spaces sized 3m x 12m are assembled together along the train track as “urban chinampas,” which draws inspiration from the one-of-akind agricultural practice that shaped Mexico City in PreHispanic time. The modules set up a flexible framework that allows the city to build its public spaces one “chinampa” at a time, tailoring to local community needs, and bringing the parks right up to people’s front doors. 20
21
As one of the cradles of human agriculture, Mexico City was once a city massively covered and sustained by a food production system of floating chinampas and canal networks.

EVERYONE BENEFITS Vertical Cities Asia Competition, 2015 Paya Lebar, Singapore Team: Chieh Huang, Yu-Han Chiu, Min-Suk Kwon
A NEW URBAN RESERVOIR FOR HARVESTING, LIVING, AND PLAYING The new 410-hectare reservoir and expanded canals is Singapore’s democratic and active water playground for everone to socialize and cool off in the tropical climate. Fully integrated into both the existing and new urban fabrics, these water bodies are designed to function as networks of mobility infrastructure and water capture. They are synthesized into a robust public realm framework, which in turn provides a mechanism to optimize performance and development opportunities for both the Paya Lebar airbase and its adjacent communities. The result is a higher density and increased quality of life for both new and existing residents alike. 30

A NEW URBAN RESERVOIR FOR HARVESTING, LIVING, AND PLAYING The proposal emerges from a simple observation: current height limits due to activities at the Paya Lebar Airbase limit development possibilities in adjacent neighborhoods, concentrating any future density increases only on the Paya Lebar site. In order to allow for greater integration of existing communities with the new development at Paya Lebar, we propose a simple land-swap in the early phases of development whose logic is rooted in an ambition to significantly expand the water catchment capacity and public realm network of both Paya Lebar and its adjacent neighborhoods. 32

FROM THE LINE TO THE REGION The main objective of this project is to propose a spatial structure that “redraws” the Caribbean coast in Colombia not as a coast “line” but as a coastal region, where urban development not only respects but responds to the unique geomorphological, hydrological, ecological, and cultural landscape. 44

Patches of new development will grow around wide openings in the landscape that give space to the delta for water discharge. These openings will be managed through agricultural and agro-forestry projects that will help restoring the Tropical Dry Forest. According to “el Bosque Seco Tropical en Colombia” report, there is 4% of the original forest in the country. This means, the ecosystem would disappear in ten years if not taken care of. The new urban areas need to be connected through a regional transportation system. This rail line has been proposed by foreign corporations and the Metropolis Foundation to transform the region into a development axis. In our proposal, this line has been pushed further back from the coast, in order to promote growth in the available areas, protecting future settlements from flooding and providing space for the ecological connections to succeed. The line will function as a catalyst for investment through T.O.D’s drawing energy from the sea shore into the hinterland.

新しい現実 The New Real “Here; anywhere; everywhere”
Where is the city? Where is technology? Where is the park in 2105? Our answer is here; anywhere, everywhere. In traditional Japanese Zen gardens, a rock represents a mountain, and a field of sand is reinterpreted as the ocean. If our ancestors were able to redefine their world in a garden, can we reimagine our city in a park? Or even further, the city becomes the park? With modern technologies we begin to explore the ability to augment, simulate, and possibly in the future, transcend digital materials into the real world. This raises the question: “What is real?” The film Matrix explored this concept of the real: “What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.” By redefining “real” as experiences, the idea of “park” is also liberated from occupying a minimum amount of physical space with trees and paths that separates itself from the rest of the city. Instead of saving and claiming a piece of “nature” in the built environment for people to escape to, the project is reimagining parks to dissolve overtime as micro landscapes into the city and take place from here, to anywhere, and eventually everywhere. You will no longer feel the need to escape to a park. It will follow you as you jog along the streets, and it will be yours to keep or to share. All of this will happen simply in the palm of your hand. 58

Augmented realities will provide new forms of access to Japanese parks. New levels of education, of culture, of identity can be reappropriated in many locations. This will become the catalyst in empowering all individuals to move through our terrain again; to interact with both the technological world as well as the physical world once again.

A park for every man, woman and child. An avatarlike park. Parks break free from their physical forms and boundaries, they are now defined and grown by experiences. The personal experiences of being in the park can be felt in the palm of the hand, seen by the eyes, explored by its smell and touch. It transcends what we refer to as digital, synthetic or holographic into the New Real: Your park is wherever you are.

IN ACTION The design is to create a series of spaces for people to explore, to reveal the park one piece at a time, making a perception of “more.� By revealing the park one small piece at a time, the intention is to lure one into losing oneself in space, free from the rest of the world for a brief moment, immersed in the dynamic forces generated from the actions, so to re-enter/perceive it not as we see it, but as we imagine it.

URBAN REGENERATION: Foresting Vacancy
Schuylkill River

Urban Design, 2014 North Philadelphia, PA Individual work
Urban Farm Linear Park
HOW TO GROW A CITY SMALLER? “More vacant property than can be filled in Lower North Philadelphia.” -PlanPhilly.com Instead of trying to fill up the “black hole” of vacancy, Urban Regeneration: Foresting Vacancy in Philadelphia envisions a different future for the city of Philadelphia — one that not only embraces, but expands vacancy. With the assistance of a proposed Philadelphia Land Bank, the system accumulates and transforms vacant property as well as under-used infrastructure into an adaptive and productive urban forest, not only increasing the biodiversity of the urban environment, but in the long run, also lowering maintenance costs and balancing the real estate market for the city.

Existing: Sprawling Vacancy
13% VACANCY 10,600 Vacant Lots
Proposed: Organized + Adaptive Vacancy
3RD LARGEST “LANDUSE” Upon acknowledging that there is “more vacant property than can be filled,” the question is no longer “how to fill up the void?” but rather “how to utilize the void?” Under the complex settings, this project proposes a landscape planning and land management strategy that adapts both spatially and economically to a shrinking population.
A PHILLY LAND BANK Unlike a conventional land bank, a proposed Philadelphia Land Bank is set up not only to acquire and manage vacant property but to take them permanently off the market for urban forestry, allowing the population to concentrate in livable areas. By cutting down the housing supply to match the low demand in the area, a balance in the real estate market will be achieved. Once the physical conditions of the areas have been improved and the market structure been restored, the remaining lands in North Philadelphia can begin to recover in market value.

DESIGN FOR THE LOCALS, THE VISITORS, AND THE FLOODS The Four Quarters aims to design a vibrant lifestyle that amplifies the variety of cultural flavors in New Orleans and develop a socially and physically resilient urban environment. By building on existing amenity in and adjacent to the neighborhood, Four Quarters introduces an infiltration park, a cultural hub, and a pop-up plaza full of flexible programs that can improvise according to everyday use and large-scale venues and flooding. This project creates a resilient neighborhood for the locals and a new public ground first for the locals. Visitors will naturally be drawn to this dynamic neighborhood. 82

BThese three new quarters of the city -- an infiltration park for the floods, a cultural hub for the locals, and a pop-up plaza for the visitors -- unite with the existing French Quarter to make a whole. This framework altogether creates a “Newer Orleans” that is both safe and exciting to live in.

CULTIVATING COFFEESCAPE Urban Design, 2014 Circasia, Colombia Individual work
COFFEE’S HOMETOWN Circasia is a small but fast-growing town located in “Zona Cafetera,” the world-famous coffee zone in the Colombian Andes. It was designated by UNESCO a World Heritage Site, as a “Coffee Cultural Landscape.” Cultivating Coffeescape is an urban design project which copes with the rapid influx of growth and protection of the cultural landscape that is being replaced by shortterm lucrative but unsustainable businesses, such as kettle farms. The project proposes a new set of urban organization strategies that promotes interaction between the city and the landscape surrounding it.

GROWING WITH TOPOGRAPHY By creating promenades with public amenties along the coffee fields on slopes and streets that turn the building orientation around facing the natural valleys, the city will grow in an innovative way that utilizes topography and landscape to its advantage, maximizing views and opportunities to engage with the culture and natural landscape. A series of public spaces are designed along the promenade network for both local residents and eco-tourists to discover and immerse in. Future urban growth will then organize itself around the city’s new robust cultural spines. 90

MAKING MUSIC VISIBLE Designed to make music visible, the project is like a music hall, where the buildings are the seating and the landscape is the stage. Hence, the design emphasizes the integration of architecture and its surrounding landscape. While the proposed new business model encourages music start-ups to thrive in lofts blended with mixed uses, the performative landscapes will facilitate the musical activities. 98

BREAKING WAVES By mathematical definition, divergence represents the volume density of the outward flux of a vector field from an infinitesimal volume around a given point. Counter to divergence, convergence is the act of approaching a limit, such as a point or a line. In oceanography, convergence and divergence zones are frequently marked the boundaries of currents, and their position can be used to model the interaction of different oceanic current systems.

PARIS: The City & Its Distractions Visual Essay, 2014 Paris, France Individual work
One-Point Perspective: A Systematic Construction of Space: The “Invention” of Perspective “One-point perspective is a simulation of what the eye sees from a human being, therefore when it comes to natural landscape, it is almost impossible to use one-point perspective to capture the sublimity of nature. Everything is too much larger than human scale and too far away from the viewer that the eye can see almost nothing converging to a single point.” 112
