Tesla Museum Site Plan

EXPERIMENT TO ARCHITECTURE Museum for Nikola Tesla Experiments Comprehensive Studio Spring 2018 Instructor: Sung Ho Kim New York City, NY Individual Work Nikola Tesla has his own street corner in the City of New York, at the intersection of Avenue of the Americas and West 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan. This is where Tesla spent many years feeding pigeons at Bryant Park on his regular route from the New Yorker Hotel to the New York Public Library at the opposite end of the block. This project was developed from an experiment called Tesla Coil, which uses the electrical resonant transformer circuit to transmit electricity.

Tesla Museum Section Perspective

The site is in the south of Bryant Park, which initially occupied by trees. The building replaces the trees with Tesla coils and replicates the geometric of the layout of trees as columns grid. Tesla coils, as the column of the building, take trees back to the site and became part of the landscape of Bryant Park. 11

LIZARD Brewery on the Missouri River Degree Project Fall 2019 Instructor: Adrian Luchini St. Louis, Missouri Individual Work Situated on Missouri Riverbank, this brewery integrates the program of production, recreation, and parking, connecting the Earth City Business Park and Riverwoods Park, and create an interactive space for people living and working there. The linear shape of this building enables customers to see the process of beer production. The east side of this two-story steel structure building connecting to the existing park trail and parking lot, and west side of the building is lifted for the flood protection. Under the floor slab, the land could be a playground, and the roof is also occupiable.

The programmatic idea starts with research on internal interaction. The possible program comes from three parks’ primary programs and elements and recombines them. The brewery is a program which has the combination of all the program needed. A microbrewery has the program of production and business, recreation, and parking.

The project provides a possible solution for the separate and disconnected condition of Earth City, the site context of this project. Symbiotic Interaction came from a natural phenomenon. The program of Microbrewery has been introduced into the site where the intersection of three parks. Through the Speculation of the hybrid space and recycle strategies, it gives a scenario of how the Symbiotic Interaction could happen on the site.

This design is about transcriptions, starting from the speech given by a famous writer, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, in La Merce of Barcelona, the architectural concept was transcript into drawings, and into models, and finally became architecture that could be occupied.

TRANSCRIPTION Housing in Barceloneta International Housing Studio Fall 2017 Instructor: Antonio Sanmartin Barcelona, Spain Individual Work This housing project locates in Barceloneta in Barcelona, face to the beach, and the city on the north. The concept of “Transcription” exists in the process of design. For this concept, Transcription exists in the text, exist in the drawings, which create from the idea of the text, exist in the model which developed from the drawings, and exist in the aggregation from model… 23

CUBE: Room(s)-Chapel

SUN WITHOUT AND SHADOWS WITHIN An Addition to Louis I. Kahn’s Hurva Synagogue Comprehensive Studio Spring 2019 Instructor: Robert McCarter Jerusalem, Israel Individual Work

This project is an “Archive of Ancient Religions,” sited as an “addition” to Louis Kahn’s Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem. For the purposes of this project, it was assumed that Kahn’s design, on which he worked from 1967 until his death in 1974, was build in 1976. The Synagogue, called Hurva, occupies a prominent hilltop site to the west of the Temple Mount and its Jewish holy site of the Western Wall. On the Temple Mount is the Islamic Dome of the Rock mosque. Construction of Kahn’s design for the Hurva Synagogue would have afford Jerusalem a major Jewish sanctuary, joining the existing Islamic and Christan sanctuaries. 29

Plans and Sections of CUBE

First Sketch project is a sacred and secular space within strictly defined volumetric limits: a chapel for one person to meditate and contemplate, a meeting room for two people to meet and gather, and the threshold or transition space between the two rooms.

FORMATION 2020 Tokyo Olympic Stadium

Studio Fall 2018 Instructor: Nanako Umemoto Ryosuke Imaeda Tokyo, Japan Individual Work The basic idea of this project starts from a particular landform on the moon, craters. The topography of this project is developed from craters. The geometry of the pattern is circulating the craters, and some of them overlapped with the contour line. All of the programs located at the bottom of craters. Edges of the craters could provide wind buffer and barrier for sports and activities. There are roofs of steel structure upon the programs in most of the buildings.

Farmland locates in the gaps of programs. Three types of crop, rice, wheat, and beets planted on different parts of the site. Rice grows on the hills along to the contour lines, and wheat grows on the plain, and beets are grown along the roadside. Circulation systems connected all programs, and some bridges connect to the outside for vehicles. After the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, this site could be a sports park for people.

REINTEGRATION OF URBAN FRAGMENTS Renovation of the Hefei Steel Mills Studio Spring 2015 Instructor: Siqing Feng Hefei, China Group Work Collaborator: Huixiang Wang We take the Intervention theory into our project. Intervention design strategy refers to the process of upgrading industrial heritage through new elements to intervene in the old industrial plant, to comply with the functional requirements of recycling and rejuvenate design strategy.

Different kinds of functional spaces guide people to choose their sightseeing paths. The non-sequence leads people to the randomness of an individual’s behaviors, which is also one of the main aims of our project.

RESURGENCE OF THE CITY The Renovation of Hefei Railway Station

Studio Fall 2014 Instructor: Guoyan Zhou Hefei, China Group Work Collaborator: Xiaojun Guo Feng zhou This project is a renovation project, “Publicity” is the fundamental purpose of this urban public space. Because it can provide publicity and achieve open communication, this urban public space will make a magnificent significance. The central circulation square—the center of this urban space—is to help people to organize all kinds of activities. And the commercial space, which near the railway station, also plays a significant role. The evolution of the city is going on with time, but the city like an organism, its updates like fission and regeneration of cells. That is to say, with back and forth constantly, its function and spacial quality continually changing to coordinate the urban development. The development of this area, along with site development and coordinate with the needs of the city’s general development, will have a meaningful impact.
