Reimagining Industrial Remnant :Chicago Jazz Bar

Chicago, Illinois Studio7 Instructor : Catherine Wetzel Partner : Shichen Li

This semester I could have a chance to reimagine and repurpose historic architectural remains in the public realm. This project is a jazz bar located at ruined still mill site as part of seasonal music campus master plan. It was great chance to know more about Chicago and lake Michigan area.

Between Walls & Above Reed

One of the features of this site is that massive and linear four independent walls separate the site into five sections. To bridge disconnected barriers and keep the wild vegetation, we decided to design the mass that crosses over the reed. Walls become the entrance to the performance area and access to the other music venues, not breaking the flow of long walls.

Rethinking Historic Preservation :Turn Center(Gun Trauma Center)

Chicago, Illinois Studio8 Instructor : Martin Klaeschen Partner : Shichen Li

We were commissioned to design a trauma center belongs to a church. The church faced two significant problems - Bleak neighborhood and preservation of the historic building, a church. Remarkably, in this desert, the church binds the community together through service, but also provides welfare and protection to community.

Promenade of Consolation

The church without any ornaments and having structurally vulnerable extension and underused sunken first floor made us think about what intervention would be the proper preservation for the existing church. We arranged required programs to surround the church, and then composed volume by playing with rotation and proximity, creating dramatic moments to feel the church building itself.

Live To-Gather :University Housing

Seoul, Korea 2017 Junglim Student Architecture Award Prize Winner Work Partner : Yoohyun Kim, Sunwoo Uk

This competition is about university housing, a dormitory in Korea. Through this competition, I could have a chance to ponder strategical design access based on statistics and critical thinking about psychology and behavior of contemporary man.

On top of that, in the production process, I could also realize the power or big scale interior model.

The young population growth rate is on the steep slope going down. Meanwhile, remote university course is expanding its territory. Therefore, the future university will be the venue where students live together and get trained to co-work with other people by filling up the the vacant classroom with dormitory.

Type 1 : Double-loaded Corridor Classroom In a single room, there exist a wide variety of lifestyles so as different densities.

The concept of the room will be more atomized, dividing living space and study space while at the same time some part of the living will be shared. Once stepping out of the room, living area or space for intellectual interaction appears.

The living area is inserted among lined up lecture halls, creating easy access from room to sharing exchanging space. Lecture halls facing existing corridor have several doors which blur the line between hallway and lecture hall. Each living space is a cluster of the living area going through all floor with spiral stairs.

Type 3 : Cascading Classroom Feature of cascading lecture hall that has hierachy and center will naturally create spacious living room by demolishing wall between two lecture halls. From this centric public space to smaller sharing space and bedroom, densitiy of private life is getting higher. Bedrooms on four sides shares shower rooms which lead to other bedrooms.

Sustainable Life with Industrial Byproduct

:Kayak House

Chicago, Illinois Farnsworth Redux Design Competition Top 10 Honorable Mention Work Partner : Shichen Li

We pondered what material would represent our era and how to live a sustainable life with industrial byproducts, container. In doing so, we arranged containers horizontally and vertically to make use of them as structure and vessel for human life both.

Flexibility of Space

Arrangement of Container

We put fixed programs like the kitchen, restroom, staircase, mechanical room, storage into vertically standing containers with minimum volume. Large space, as a result, gets freedom in structure and function which makes it possible to react to a wide variety of desire flexibly.

Besides, these vertical frames support the floor. However, these columns don’t support the ceiling because horizontally arranged containers take the loads. This creates room to expand upward for future space demands.

Kayak! Time to Time-to-time Pleasure

In this day and age that natural disasters caused by reckless industrialization and development are threatening our lives, we pondered what material would represent our era and how to live a sustainable life by utilizing byproducts of industrialization.

Expansion of Space Meanwhile, walls at horizontally arranged containers are also free from structure, having big openings and windows. These Visual openness creates flowing space, maximizing relatively small indoor space. Doors on containers also become architectural elements, forming ‘indoor space – deck – outdoor space’ to expand indoor living space to outdoor space. A suspended deck is a border between nature and human at the same time media establishing the connection between indoor

space and outdoor space. It is an expansion of indoor space as usual, but the waterside deck and dock for kayak when flooding.

Flooding will be a time-to-time pleasure, not an unwelcomed guest.

Therefore, this house will be a small but big house and will be a house that connects human and nature.

Hommage to Kinetic Architecture :Studio Stool

Chicago, Illinois Alternative Chairs Instructor : John Kriegshauser Individual Work

In this class, I designed a stool, inspired by Pierre Chareau, who created flexible space with brilliant furniture. I saw a stool as one of the minimal devices that could control space.

I approached the design process with that perspective.

Pure Form :Materiality and Fabrication Study

Chicago, Illinois Pure Form Instructor : Catherine Wetzel Individual Work

In this class, I explored the relationship between materiality and fabrication. In this journey, I worked on Soapstone and Alabaster. I was able to find the value of the process and a desirable mindset when doing the design.

"Being different is ... interesting."

- Edward Albee -

The reason I chose stone is that stone is not the material that people use for models because of various reasons like higher cost, difficulty in processing stone. However, I convince myself that it would be a joyful and valuable experience to study the materiality of stone. Indeed, I could figure out the traits of Soapstone and Alabaster by going through dozens of trials and errors. Then I was able to carefully plan the operation method and order, which becomes design itself.

Operation Is A Design.

Making model is not a final product of idea, but a process of design. Not only ideal imaginations are refined by techniques, but also techniques inversely spark new ideas.

Crossing over utopia and reality, this back and forth process itself becomes design.

Nudging Environment :Intervention for Problem of Teenager Pregnancy

Chicago, Illinois Design Communication 3 Instructor : Joel Putnam Partner : Chen Gao, Grace Sugiono, Prim Prattanathumawat

Teenager Pregnancy problem is serious in the U.S. especially Chicago. We analyzed the most concerned area within the city by utilizing GIS data. On top of that, we tried to construct friendly environments to help teenagers in both physical and invisible means and create narratives.

1. Sex Education with Interactive Digital Screen at Kiosk & Quiz for Free Wifi

2. Exercise Park for Social Interactions Reducing Sexual Desire

Target Area Analysis & Following Interventions According to Chicago Tribune, Chicago communities with higher teen birth rates tend to be on the city's west and south sides. Using GIS data, we gradually carved out West Garfield, narrowing down which area is the poor surrounding for teenagers. Then we proposed both visible and invisible interventions.

3. Pop-up Birth Control Clinic & Life Mentoring Program

Why Architectural Moments?

Some people say architecture is trivial, talking that it takes a small part of the industry.

However, architecture manifests itself in everything in this world.

It exists at fairy tales, movies, politics, funerals, loves, everywhere.

I explore and appreciate those architectural moments in life.
