while discretized exterior louvers and ceiling light strips negotiated the two formal vocabularies. MetaDesign offered integrated design for the project, including not only architecture and interiors but also exhibitions, furniture and signage. I joined during architectural schematic design, and from concept through aesthetic supervision of the other fields; as design director, as well as overseeing the design I was the primary client and consultant contact.

The 22,000m² Indigo project integrates a flagship for a major car brand with a museum and experience center. Its greatest challenge was the reconciliation of expansive, fluid exhibition zones and optimized showroom and service spaces, and the differing budget and client expectations created by these two programs. Our response was an organic knot at the atrium, radiating out into orthogonal galleries. The programs were unified with a double-helical circulation system,

Lingshui Bay has been designated a next-generation special economic zone. The client planned to purchase only the 20km² offshore shallow-water zone as the development’s central business district, luxury highrise and resort hotel area. Our key challenge for this project was the transformation of the potential liability of the island site into an asset for the central business district. We responded by emphasizing each building’s access

either to bay views or to a central pedestrian park walk, and directly juxtaposing urban concentration with beaches and dense forest canyons. We also focused on several key landmarks at the urban design and building scale. The project’s climax is the nose of the CBD island, reached by a series of cascading plazas. The cluster’s innovation is the hybridization of visual and formal qualities from the Sydney Opera House with the skyscraper typology.

graft, 2013 type: urban design for land bid role: lead designer 1 week / team of 2

During a 2km² masterplan commission for Xishuangbanna, a new land purchase was annexed to the site and Graft was asked to produce a design for the site. I was required to design this project in one week with one renderer. The project’s key concept is the integration of local building strategies with modernist and green principles. The cascading, deeply overhung roof and clerestories of traditional Dai architecture is adapted as a complex-

curvature, solar-paneled surface. Similarly, porous walls and the open ground floor are recast in modernist language as louvered curtain walls and piloti structure. This initial strategy was then adapted to the various typologies — classroom, dormitory, administration, villa — of the program and complex topography of the site.

the potentially conflicting demands of a rigorous contemporary language and adherence to deepest principles of the Chinese sensibility in order to do justice to the extremely sensitive site. For similar reasons we studied making the entire building demountable, and transportation and maintenance methods for artwork in the heritage complex.

Beijing’s Taimiao ancestral temple has been repurposed as the “People’s Cultural Palace” since the revolution. I was project manager for this study on updating the complex’s cultural mission, in collaboration with Arup and Thomas Krens of the Guggenheim Museum. In addition to museum-fitting the main temples, our main intervention was the addition of three contemporary museum buildings in the wing courtyards. Throughout the process we negotiated

As with the Taimiao museum, our National Art Museum of China competition entry attempted to reconcile contemporary and classical Chinese æsthetics, here through the concept of the cloud. The massive 130,000m² program is made to feel scaleless and weightless through lift: placing the permanent galleries in the sky, supported by a cantilevered truss, and raising the pedestrian ground to sink the remaining functions below them.

key to religious buildings, explored here in its tension between orientation and placeholder for transcendence, paralleling religious space’s tension between authenticity and drama. Daylight enters through three main shears, which torque the building to mark off the space as sacred; the triple division also resonates with the Buddhist gamkyil. The main hall cut is then subdivided to illuminate different walls throughout the day, organically manifesting the passage of time.

With two partners, I undertook this commission for a 5000m² luxury resort in Terelj National Park, comprising hotel villas, a service center and attached Buddhist monastery. We provided full coordination of the hotel, SMEP (Buro Happold), and geotechnical consultants. The monastery was the most unusual program in the brief. It was required to serve as a gathering space, collective meditation area, temporary housing for itinerant Tibetan Buddhist monks. Light is often the

cold climate. The original option, shown here, was designed in only two weeks. It is a typological mutation of the courtyard (Barcelona) grid plan: tapering, rotating and shearing create unexpected adjacencies of fabric, from dense low-rise to superblock. The scheme uses sunlight and setback requirements to create single-loaded southeast- / southwest-facing bars.

Approximately 17 km outside Ulaanbaatar, Rising Sun is designed to be a sustainable satellite city of the overtaxed Mongolian capital. Over two months we created a 300-page concept report on two options for this 200,000m² commission, working from urban grid systems down to the level of unit layouts. We collaborated closely with the client for the business plan and with Buro Happold to optimize sustainable factors, including wind, drainage and especially sunlight in the

The client’s primary holdings as a steel manufacturer allowed a light steel frame, unusual in China, with lateral support provided by occasional oblique torquing of the walls. The voided wall could then be selectively perforated by backlit glass, turning it from neutral background to foreground.

The most salient aspect of this competition’s site was the 50m drop to the east, down to the Chongqing golf course. In a kind of wilful misreading of John Hejduk’s Wall Houses, the project builds to this view as the climax of four different visual regimes: the glass box of the atrium, followed by a three–flight continuous stair, a series of inhabitable bridges suspended over the basement pool and gym, and finally a curtain–walled restaurant and bar.

To translate this fluid form to the vertical facades of the adjoining residential towers but minimize cost, a regular interior plan was adopted, but the desired organic silhouette was segmented and assigned to a continuously–evolving balcony system.

made/make architects, 2009 type: invited competition award: third place role: lead designer 4 weeks / team of 6

This competition called for a strip of retail as the interface between the street and the park behind; the client hoped for the atmosphere of a shopping street but asked for multi–story mall density. This conflict was resolved in plan by creating strands of retail, oriented to maximize accessibility, and in section by vertically trifurcating the pedestrian street. This peeling up tripled the ground–floor retail and created a kind of halocline between park and shopping functions.

This mixed–use retail / club / hotel complex was commissioned by Solidere, the redevelopment agency for central Beirut. I participated in exhaustive, iterative designs to optimize the form on a compact, sloped site which presented challenges for frontage, pedestrian access and space use. The plinth optimizes retail space and continuity from the adjacent pedestrian soukh at two levels. The hotel atrium rests on this plinth, ameliorating the
