The Mississippi Archive DATA CENTER & CRAFTED LANDSCAPE ARCH 704, PennDesign, 2021 Critic: Winka Dubbeldam, Richard Garber Type: Data Center, Growth Landscape Location: Bonnet Carre Spillway, New Orleans, LA Partner: Huadong Lin

New Orleans’ development timeline was used to set dwellings on the higher grounds which are along the Mississippi River. We propose that people need to rethink the previous ways that gradually retreat onto the higher ground near the river. We see this as an opportunity for our intervention, as the large amount of water and sediment that was wasted by discharging to the Lake, could be utilized as valuable assets. Anticipating the transformation process of urban expansion, we propose Bonnet Carre Spillway as a safe location on higher ground for relocating human occupation that demonstrates a sense of urgency for urban retreat.

With the new Data Center hybridized with the existed flood control infrastructure, we are responding to the growth of tech industries that are encouraged in Greater New Orleans region, taking advantages from the natural assets such as large amount of cold water and sediment, and transform the urban void into valuable territory that can assist the expanding of tech and media companies. Meanwhile, encouraging the decentralization process and reform the urban fabric to coexist with nature.

The spillway opens when flooding. As water flows through the pins, the hydro equipment installed under the archive utilizes this advantage and takes water up to the cooling systems. The output of water forms a waterfall back to the river, creating semi-closed loops for water circulation.

After the flood, sediment deposited into the landscape, behind the spillway. Subsequently forms the landscape of slug and sand. Restoring natural habitats for native flora and fauna.

The Mississippi Archive| PennDesign |2021

REFINED ORIENTATION The base of the new hybrid was built on top of the original spillway intake structure and parallel to the river, while the data archives change its orientation and facing the direction of waterflow. The structure underneath the archive would serve as a new intake channel that draw the river water for Hydro Cooling system in the server farm to remove the excessive heat generated by the machine, the water then gets exported onto the rooftops to be cooled down, and in the end, fall back to the river in the form of waterfall to form a closed loop.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN

Data flow is not visible, but it is closely related to the water flow and sediment flow in our project. The water and sediment circulation not only represents the whole building system that is hybrid with the original spillway structure, but also a reflection of the data storage and data flow in the non-human non-visible space.

WATER AS AGENCY Not only does the water become an agency to shape the interior, but it also determines at which location does the water make its appearance on the surface so the atmosphere can assist at cooling down the overheated water before it reaches the human-occupied space, and before it circles back to the river.

The Mississippi Archive| PennDesign |2021

PUBLIC & PRIVATE ARCHIVE The storage of data not only provides opportunities for newly emerged tech companies, but also archives memories of the local. Archives opened to the public enable people to learn the past history and writing their own story. The space becomes interactive and educational, for all residents of the area.

Phase 1-Present

Phase 2-Spillway opened 5 times

Phase 3-Spillway opened > 10 times

RENATURALIZATION BEHIND THE SPILLWAY We studied the renaturalization of the river path and developed a grid pattern for water to flow and for sediment to build up. Gradually over years, the land continues to build up. Over a course of several decades, the sediment will completely take over the land. When the spillway is opened, it will create a fluid dynamic with the waterfall from the building. After the flood, a huge amount of sludge is being deposited, creating a natural habitat for local flora and fauna.

Urban Growth SEMI-AUTOMATIC INDOOR FOOD FACILITY ARCH 602, PennDesign, 2020 Critic: Nate Hume Type: Automatic Farming Facility Location: New York City, NY Partner: Huayu Jin

We are fascinated by contemporary architecture in the city that is not entirely for people. These buildings are important fundamental elements of the urban environment. It intrigued us to ask what are some of these necessary elements for modern society: what is the foundation of our daily lives? What is the groundwork of a healthy society? One answer is superfood, it ties the wellbeing of the society together. We chose to design a growth space for cultivating nutritious food, as well as for entertaining and educating the public about the cycle of planting and growth of vegetables. We particularly favor the hydroponic method, for its efficient, soil-free, and run-to-waste benefits.

The project interested in layered materials that blur the line of real growth and artificial graphic patterns. Masonry broke down as panels creating spaces for the plants to grow, plants packed so dense that it looks like a solid material.

Hidden and blurred by the exterior design and the graphical facade, the densely packed hydroponic central space will only be revealed by the use of materials and the dimmed pink glow light from the facade.

Layered materials blur the line of real growth and artificial graphic patterns. Masonry broke down as panels creating spaces for the plants to grow, plants packed so dense that it looks like a solid material. The building uses materials and openings to create curiosity from the public. The design starts with a stacking method, creating openings at the central atrium space at both sides of the facade to show off the concealed world.

Urban Growth| PennDesign |2020

LAYERED MATERIALS Layed shingles and panels were applied to the facade to achieve a blurring effect. The use of familiar materials in an unfamiliar arrangement will increase public interest in the design.

The hydroponic atrium is hidden from sight and packed densely with plants and vegetables. With plants on both sides of the wall, the inhabitable public space will also gain the same experience of being inside of the lush atrium.

Life On Dam RE-CONCEPTUALIZATION OF COASTAL CITIES ARCH 701, PennDesign, 2020 Critic: Matthijs Bouw Type: Resilience and Managed Retreat Planning Location: Jamaica Bay, New York City, NY Partner: Tao Luo

The project is a climate fiction to live on a dam in a circular city. We draw inspiration from the 60s, and 70s that architecture is changing with time.

Jamaica Bay is a critical area for the inland residents and natural habitat for flora and fauna. The project intention is to simulate the continuous action of retreat and give back to nature.

To protect the inner Jamaica Bay from frequent tidal flooding, we propose a dam for harnessing the tidal energy and creating a retreat opportunity for people. The energy generator is located underground, provides a flexible water storing system, and enables connections with other infrastructure programs.

A living society on top of the dam with a circular solution for their current housing materials and lifestyle. The salvaged building components from breezy.

The building structures also can be transferred and relocated. Clean farming and factories are introduced to create working opportunities.

After 200 years, the sea level will inevitably rise. The dam will remain an infrastructure for generating electricity, and people will retreat inland.

The funding of the project allows the city government to invest for the dam, as well as planning the dam as an opportunity zone as an incentive for public/private equity. The resident will have the opportunity to purchase at a lower price, get free land, as well as taking planning consideration when refinancing their homes.

PHASE ONE-NOW-2050 BUILD In the first 30 years we are building the infrastructure that is essential to the dam, such as tidal turban, underground farming facilities, and community piers.

PHASE TWO-2050-2200 MOVE We took tissues from four places in New York, from a high rise area, to neighborhood scale single family housing, distributed onto the dam.

PHASE THREE-2200 RETREAT The final phase is that after 200 years, the sea level will inevitably rise. The dam will remain an infrastructure for generating electricity, and people will retreat inland.

The project reconsiders the sense of monumentality of the Cherry Street Pier structure. Once a monument to commerce and industry, it already serves as a new cultural landmark for arts and events.

The housing concentrated on unite living, culture and landscape in the context of the water in a dynamic organization that centers the mix of uses around a central landscape element and fishing inlet. The circulation system consists of two different yet continuous paths that encourage the exchange between tenants and locals through the regular events of the pier.

Landshark proposes a cost subsidy opportunity through a built-in flex unit that allows residents to defray the cost of waterfront living with an Airbnbtype sublet framework.

LOCAL MOBILITY RESEARCH Philly is the 5th most walkable large city in the US. Cherry Street Pier is very walkable, therefore, most errands in the neighborhood can be accomplished on foot.

Modern Baroque Archive PENN MUSEUM ARCHIVE ADDITION ARCH 501, PennDesign, 2018 Critic: Andrew Saunders Type: Museum Arhive Location: Philadelphia, PA Individual Work

The project aimed to create connections between the history and the modern.

The design seeks to continuously investigate the body and its movement as it relates to architecture. It takes the existing courtyard and transforms the space into a courtyard-within-courtyards typology, a new approch to Baroque style. The space between the architecture skin and the existing facade became a courtyard, and the central courtyard remains to be a baroque courtyard, and it takes the profile of the building to form a new imprint of the sky view.

The architectural consequences of the space gives the visitor an opportunity to experience the space by the sense of feeling, seeing, and touch. The “wayfinding” context triggers memories of the history. The most important to establish in regard to the architectural consequences is the conditions and the gestures between architecture and the existing museum facade.

Time Square, Time Out REFUGE FOR EVERYBODY UG4, UMichigan TCAUP, 2016 Critic: Ana Morcillo Pallarés Type: Bath Facility Location: New York City, NY Individual Work

The Urban Time Out is a speculative Refuge architecture in the form of bathhouses, designed to provide a space of anonymity. This independent research proposal looked from the history of New York City and the Time’s Square, to the modern social context, enable the use of an abandoned space, namely a gap, to become a space of hideouts. In response of the high social pressure, the inevitably digital mark and track due to smartphones, and the massive amount of information.

The purpose of the Refuge left people to find safe and relaxed, for their identity to be concealed, and their body warmed by the hot water, and the spirit rise by a variety of programs between the narrow gap.

SECTION

Utilizing the gap space behind the billboards becomes important to the notion of anonymity.

Bathhouses and individual saunas provide a space for introspection, while diving in the pool of craziness and showering in a mixed shower provide a space of anonymity. The billboards can be sponsored by commercial companies with a water theme too, which maximizes the effect of advertisement.

Bath Behind the Billboards

WORLD BEHIND THE WORLD The world of the spa/bath will be concealed by the billboards, only showing a strip of the water. To the people in the office building, the interaction between the pool and the office was offered by the vertical window. The top infinity pool allows people to have a view of the Times Square. With the program amplifying the experience and the program providing an interstitial moment, the refuge is out there for every person visiting Times Square that is looking for a moment of themselves.
