NYC East River Aquarium
NYC East River Aquarium Winter & Spring 2017 Location: Queens, NY Team: Andy Chung
Goals: 1. Serve as a recreational hub along the East River waterfront. 2. Create experiences interacting with water as well as aquatic animals. 3. Act as an iconic architecture in the neighborhood with the geometric form. Strategies: 1. Elevate the aquarium up to increase the usable area at the park. 2. Bring in different activities, such as swimming pool, kayak center, event plaza, water feature and pier to attract people to the park. 3. Create an experiential exhibit space extending out to the river. 4. The interesting circulation inside the aquarium gives a journey for the visit to observe the aquatic animals from the top to the bottom. 5. The elevated cube standing out from the plain surface becomes an icon for the aquarium to attract people from the other side of the river. This design project was inspired by NYC Aquarium & Public Waterfront competition in 2016. Since the site is located at the middle of the waterfront park, the aquarium will become the central focal point of the waterfront park. Following the size of the city block, the design is based on 5.5 of 200’by200’ square. The aquarium is decided to be located between the NS & EW axises. By elevating up the aquarium, the area of the park can be maximized. And after pushing the park out to the river, it becomes an endpoint of the EW axis, where serves as a great viewing spot to Manhattan. The aquarium is supported by four giant cores on four sides to free up the corner in the building. Huge cylinder tanks sandwiched by servicing spaces is placed in the center. An elevator is located inside the cylinder tanks to bring visitors up. After reaching to the top floor going through the exhibits, visitors will use the ramps, which circulates around the cylinder tanks, to reach to bottom floor. Along the ramp, visitors will stop at different exhibit floors, where are at different levels following the ramp. The idea is to mimic the experience of observing the exhibit from the surface of the water to the bottom while surrounding by water and aquatic animals.

Reactivate Downtown Connection
Reactivate Downtown Connection Fall 2016 Location: Eugene, OR Team: Andy Chung
Goals: 1. Connect with other city nodes to complete the network in downtown. 2. Enhance the safety in the neighborhood. 3. Provide various unit types for different kinds of users. Strategies: 1. Populate the allies by placing a courtyard and market hall that connect with other city nodes. 2. Instead of focusing the edge of the block, the design focuses on the center of the block to increase the eyes on street. 3. Create 6 different kinds of unit types: studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, special units with double stories, and penthouses. This housing project focuses on connecting itself with the city’s context. Instead of populating the edges of the block, the center of the city block becomes the focal point. By introducing a market hall at the bottom floor in the building, more people will be attracted to gather at the “backyard” in the block. The backyard will serve a public space connecting with the end of the bar district in downtown, also connecting with other public spaces for the neighborhood. The L-shape building allows more units viewing to the park, which enhances the eyes to the park. Crime has been a problem in downtown. By populating the center of the block and allies, it will minimize the shady spots for criminals. Lots of efforts were put in developing livable housing units in this projects. There are studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, special units with double stories, and penthouses. Normal housing only has one side having nice views. For this project, the units at the back side of the building still get to enjoy the view of the backyard and the swimming at the podium.

Seamless- Intergenerational Living
SEAMLESS INTERGENERATIONAL LIVING Winter 2014 Location: Wichita, KS
Team: Andy Chung, Michael Puckett, Johnny beauchamp
Goals: 1. Create an affordable housing for seniors and at risk youths. 2. Revive the existing park and connect to the neighborhood. Strategies: 1. Put seniors and at risk youths in the same building, where they can benefit from each other. 2. Communal Space gives privacy to both users meanwhile enhancing connecting nodes for them. 3. Provide mentor-mentee based programs to increase interaction between users. 4. The two corridors that penetrate through the first floor make the park to become more accessible. 5. Sleeper, dorm style and studio are provided for the youths depend on their independences. This Housing Building is supposed to combine seniors and at risk youth together. The site is right next to the park, where is currently unused in the neighborhood. We created two walkways on the ground floor going through the building in order to connect the front and back of the building. It allows the architecture to be more transparent in the neighborhood. The idea of organization in the architecture is to allow seniors and youths having their own communities on the North and South. And the communal space in the middle creates connecting nodes between two communities. Therefore, the seniors and the youths have their own spaces but not being separated by other community. The second floor has mentor- mentee based programs including career center, computer lab, classrooms, job-training based pharmacy, and a gym. We believe that these activities create more opportunities for the seniors and youths to interact. Sleeper, dorm style and studio are provided for the youth, which is based on how independent they are as they grow up. The more mature they become, the more independent the room they earn.

Sing Tao News Printing Factory
SING TAO NEWS PRINTING FACTORY Oct 2014 Location: 7 Chun Cheong Street, Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, Sai Kung,Hong Kong
Team: David S.K. Au & Associates Ltd. (Joseph Lee, Peggy Louie, Mable Tsang, Andy Chung)
Responsibility: 1. Propose new facade designs for the Phase 3 extension. 2. Prepare submission drawings, tender drawings and construction drawings. The task is to extent 6 to 7 more stories to the existing 3-story high news printing factory for Sing Tao News Corporation Limited. My responsibility is to propose new faรงade designs for the new extension (Phase3). I proposed several design options for the architect to present to the client. I prepared couples of presentable 3D perspectives and elevations for the proposal. I was also assigned to design the layouts for the new extension. In addition, I assisted in preparing submission drawings and tender drawings.

The Carving of Wave
THE CARVING OF WAVE reThinking Competition Jan 2015 Location: Tarifa, Spain Team: Andy Chung
Goals: 1. Create an livable and interesting journey for the surfers. Strategies: 1. Mimic the form of wave to create housing units, wave shades, and division pier. 2. Use sustainable methods to create self-sustain temporary housing units. The conceptual idea behind the Architecture reflects the correspondence between the form of wave and the motion of Surfers as well as windsurfers. I was inspired by the relationship between the nature and human: Windsurfer speedily surfs along the crest of wave meanwhile surfer rides a surfboard below the curve of wave. These metaphors from the organic form of wave become the key inspiration of the design. The project consists of three main areas: Sustainable temporary housing units (Shelters), Wave Shades (Relaxing Spot) and Division Pier (Activities Spot).

The Carving of Wave
Sustainable Temporary Housing Units:
The triangular shape of housing unit is developed from the form of wave. Under the diagonal of triangle is the indoor shelter for temporary living; above that was an angled green space for users to lie down and enjoy the view.The edge is a cistern for storing water from the system of Solar Still. For the Electricity, it is supported by the wind turbine on the edge of the site. Around the housing units is a concrete path that circulates the whole village leading people from the outside to the water. The concrete path is consisted of different forms that are sculptured by wave, providing seating for relax and walkway. In the center of the path, there is a green garden where contain a waste water system to treat the sewage from the housing units.

Wave Shades:
It has an obvious wave-like shape that allows people to feel like they walk into the crest of wave. Several facilities are placed under the shades: changing rooms, lockers and relaxing sports.The wave wall also allows for a break from the excitement of the water activities, where wind blocks and sun shading are proposed.

Division Pier:
The metaphor of wave is utilized in the structure of the pier. Inspiring from the wave, the foundation is made of L-shape concrete letting wood platform to sit on the top of it. The L-shape concrete extends above the platform can create some sitting, railing, wind blocks and diving board. As the one walk along the pier, the one will have a philosophically experience of walking between the waves. In the middle of the path, a swimming pool is provided by the wave blocks of the path.

Corridor & Touchpoint
CORRIDOR & TOUCHPOINT Fall 2014 Location: N Couch St. & N Davis St. in Portland, OR Goals: 1. Connect Chinatown District to the river with two corridors and give new characters to the neighborhood. 2. Create a water touch-point at the end point of the corridor. Strategies: 1. Redesign the corridors with bike lanes, street parkings, planters, outdoor seatings to make the path more vibrant. 2. Introduce more businesses to the neighborhood to increase the eyes on street. 3.The stepping down design at the waterfront structure creates a visual and physical experience of getting closer to the nature. 4. Indoor swimming pool allows people to interact with the water. The corridor is intended to introduce more new elements and characters to the Chinatown District.The corridor will be able to attract people to stay in the district, which makes it more secure and inclusive. Since the street gets wider, it is encouraged to have people stay outside the cafe or restaurants. Cafe or restaurants will enhance the “eyes� on the streets. At night, the whole corridor will become a pedestrian zone where people can walk freely on the streets. The district will become a nightlife area. The touch-point will provide a new way for the residents to visually and physically experience with the water. The bottom floor will be flooded with water as the water rises. The indoor swimming pool with river water will allow people swim safer on the river.The top floor will be an opened deck for people to take rest after partying at the bars/clubs on the corridor.

Water Vessel helps me to learn more about the character of water. I study a lot about the refraction and reflection of water, which are embedded into the relationship between the corridor and touch point.
The Corridor model shows the abandoned buildings and the empty lots, which correlate with the water library as the potential development for the corridor. It summarized the proposed ideas. The site mapping model creates patterns of the buildings between the corridors. The patterns are supposed to map out the height of buildings and the potential sites.

SECOND FLOOR
BOTTOM FLOOR
The whole top floor is an extension of green area from the park. It brings people farther to the river. The green dock provides a new public space on the corridor inviting people to have new experience on viewing the river. The sloped North & South ends allow people to have higher perspective to the city. The middle of the dock is at the same elevation as the seawall, which prevents to disturb the view to the river from Japanese American Memorial Plaza.
The second floor is mainly for gathering. It can be rented for gallery & Exhibitions. And, There will be permanently displaying history of Willamette River in order to educate citizens more about the importance of willamette River. the idea of the design is to have people step down to the water. As the one walks through space by space, the one would step down each platform. The one feels closer to the water as he or she walks to next level.
The bottom floor is a water interaction area. It is consisted with swimming pool, canoe loading and water touch point. Similar to the second floor, the closer the one walks to the North, the lower the platform becomes. In terms of the water level in different time, water may flood over some platforms, and people can get their feet wet on some platforms. Water will naturally define the space as it rises up.

Design-Build Shading Structure
DESIGN-BUILD SHADING STRUCTURE Winter 2014 Location: Orphanage in Titanyen, Haiti
Faculties: Sergio Palleroni, Todd Ferry Team: Andy Chung, Heidi Crespi, Joel Dickson, Josiah Henley, Caleb Roach, Thanakorn Vorapanich, Andrew Deneault, Andrew Durkin, Grace AARAJ, Jackie D, Krestina Aziz, Michael Puckett
Leading by Center for Public Interest Design, we, a group of architecture students from Portland State University, designed and built a porch extension and seating structure for a girl’s dormitory at an orphanage in Titanyen. After a four weeks of designing, we implemented our final design in Haiti with excavating the foundation, demolishing the existing structure, building our structure, and installing the roof and benches. Five triangulated steel columns in concrete foundations hold up the entire shading structure, and the triangulated roof drains the water to one spot in order to collect rainwater.

Installation for OBT Exposed
INSTALLATION FOR OBT EXPOSED Spring 2013 Location: Director Park, Portland, OR
Team: Andy Chung, Candice Agahan, Chris Jones, Ma Xiao
Goals: 1. Create new visualization for audiences to feel the art, complexity, technicality and strength of a ballet dancer. Strategies: 1. Design the stage, benches, wind break, and changing room mimicking the movements of ballet. 2. All the elements of the design were based on the core and limbs of ballet dancing. We regarded the opportunity to design the set for OBT Exposed as a chance to express the essence of ballet through structural form. We realized it was redundant to mimic the movements in ballet that one can see through a dancer on stage, and instead we decided to approach this opportunity as a chance to show what an inexperienced observer watching ballet cannot see. By achieving this, the audience or passerby can begin to understand the art, complexity, technicality, and strength of a ballet dancer, thus overall expressing the essence of ballet. In ballet, every movement stems from the core as if the core is rigid. Because the core stays rigid and engaged while the ballet dancer is moving, the limbs, hands, feet, head, and neck become extensions from the core and are able to move freely as long as the core stays engaged. With this understanding, we were able to take this design opportunity to express the relationship between the ballet dancer’s core and the rest of the body. While designing each component that made up the entire OBT Exposed installation, we made sure to retain the fundamental nature of those certain components. In other words, we did not want to loose the soul purpose of those components (the stage acts as support for dancers, benches act as horizontal surfaces for the audience to relax on, the wind break helps to redirect and block wind, and the changing room acts as a private, comfortable space). Relating to our main concept, we assigned a “core� for each of the installation components, and built up our designs from there.

Benches
Each two-seater bench requires eight 4.5 foot long 2”x2” steel square tubes. Four of the eight tubes are bent at 90°, the other four can range from bench to bench, staying within the specified range of angles which is anywhere from 90° to 30°. The height of the bench should stand 18 inches tall, and the horizontal surface dimensions should extend 40 inches long by 16 inches wide.

Water Collector
WATER COLLECTOR Fall 2013 Location: Tryon State Park, Portland, OR
Goals: 1. Design a intervention with functions and educational purposes. Strategies: 1. Design a structure serving as a water collector as well as a playing structure for kids. 2. The structure contains different usages in different conditions in summer and winter. The Structure serves as a water collector as well as a playing structure for kids. There are different usages in different conditions. In the winter, the rain season, kids can decorate and cover the canopy with vegetation like vines and straw. Therefore, the structure becomes a water collector. The canopy catches the rainwater, and the water flow into the underground water tank through the core. And kids can play underneath the cover meanwhile they can peek into the openings to observe the rainwater system of the structure. In the summer, the sunny season, kids can crawl into the 3’ high entrance and climb up to the canopy by the holes.They can be creative playing on the structure like tightening rope to swing around or lying on the canopy to enjoy the sunshine.
