THEATRE AND WATERFRONT STEPS WITH BUILDING ANALYSIS OF ONE NEW CHANGE & LIVERPOOL ONE theatre |public space |solid & void | third-year fall studio |AA visiting semester program | 15 weeks studio professor: Niara Vegara & Marie-Isabel de Monseignat-Lavrov individual project

This is a 15-week building study and design project in my study abroad program in Architectural Association in London. The building studies focused on the solid and void space of two large-scale mixed-used commercial buildings, One New Change in London, and Liverpool One in Liverpool. I took a special interest in categorizing and visualizing the activity level within the void space, and I brought this concept into my design project, by designing a theater/public steps on the ruins of Princes Landing Stage to revitalize public gathering space in the waterfront of River Mersey, Liverpool.

SITE ANALYSIS

From the site visit and analysis, it is noticeable that walking experience along River Mersey is linear and lacking stopping points. Also, the amenities for cultural activities including cinemas, theaters and plazas are lacking. Therefore, Princes Landing Stage was chosen as the site to revitalizing the waterfront area. The site is currently ruins of heavy timer structure which was used about a century ago. The site’s industrial feature and its relationship with the water become important elements of the design process.

NARROW PLAYGROUND BAITASI COMPETITION 2016

modular housing| community facility | Beijing hutong | Internship |2 weeks project instructors: Chien-Ho Hsu, Xing Liang (in:Flux Architecture) design team: Pam Pan, Yilin Ma, Yanhang Ren, Liangliang Wang

axonometric drawing of programs and activities This is a two-week competition submission to the international design competition, Baitasi 2016: Reinventing the Beijing Courtyards. The competition proposal was done during my internship in in: Flux Architecture at Beijing in 2016. The design idea is to create public space for local residents in Baitasi hutong area and a hostel for visitors to the hutong culture in Beijing. The design team considers the existing building scale of Beijing hutong should be maintained. The plan of the design proposal is about reversing the existing figure ground in Baitasi Neighborhood, which is congested by dwelling units and unable to provide space for social living.

The extra-long treadmill towards the direction of Baitasi Temple and the reflective materials on its side, create a dynamic visual connection and illusion with the cultural and spiritual icon in the neighborhood. The 4.2-meter-by-4.2-meter building unit with replaceable cells could be used for living, barbecue hub, teahouse, offices and etc. The pre-fabricated modules with permanent facilities including bathrooms and enclosures, gives the hutong courtyard unlimited possibilities of social events in the small space.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING CHARTER SCHOOL

education | advanced structure | third-year spring studio | 15 weeks studio professor:Stephen Lee instructor: Jeffrey Davis individual project This is a semester-long project to design a project-based charter school for students from 12 to 14 years old in Hazelwood, Pittsburgh, USA. The building consists of nine studio spaces for all three grades, the common area for meeting and exhibition, and other supporting programs. The design idea is to define the common space as the “stage”, and the studio space as “seating areas“ facing towards the “stage”, to create a multi-level visual connection within the space in order to trigger creativity among students. The project also focused on advanced structural systems. Industrial building elements including big trusses, metal deck ceiling, steel beams and columns are exposed to students, which enables them to have a better understanding of building tectonics. The metal-screen facade is designed with the intention to enhance visual connections from the outside to the inside and vice versa. The size of the punched holes on the screen varies depends on the level of publicness of the programs inside. In addition, the metal screen also allows the yellow-colored trusses being exposed to the pedestrians outside.

ENVIRONMENT, FORM & FEEDBACK

experiential rendering: inside the indoor wetland park

This is a semester-long project of incorporating eco-machines and housing design to create a riverfront housing plus park in Strip District, Pittsburgh, the US. The project started with a closely study of the ecological systems of the site, including wind, sun, water, traffic, history and etc. Also, we did a close reading and analysis of precedent housing project. For this project, we focused on living machine as a core element that structured the whole design. The living machine would transform waste water into clean water through eight steps including anaerobic reactor, closed aerobic reactor, open aerobic reactor, clarifier, constructed wetland, water re-use holding tank, ultraviolet disinfection and storage tank. The aim of the design is to use open aerobic reactor (vegetation tanks) and constructed wetland as architectural elements in housing units to create interesting interaction between nature and people. The design process is about finding the form that would achieve this goal by using various parametric design tools.


We firstly quantified the relationship between the total volume of apartments, open aerobic reactors and the constructed wetland. Based on this, we mapped the apartment buildings, wetland, open aerobic reactors and trees on the site to test the shadow condition and human experience of the design. (images below) Then we continued our form finding by focusing on one module. We proposed a green roof system to place open aerobic reactors on strips that forms the roof of the module. The position of reactors are determined by solar analysis and parametric tools. In this way, the aerobic reactors as vegetation tanks are introduced inside the building. We also studied the different human interaction on the rooftop strips based on the different slopes of strips. (images on the right side)

We tried stacking the modules to create 12-story apartment buildings, using space in-between the modules as public green space. Therefore, residents in the building would approach and interact with nature easily. Then, when we looked back at our site and reconsidered the social aspect of our design goal, we decided to have lower buildings that are more related to the landscape. We create buildings “growing from the ground“, and having landscape weaving with the buildings. apartment building: section

When we came to the urban design phase, we determined that our proposal for this eco-housing project is to create a housing plus park place for residents of the apartments and for people in Strip District by making living machine as the attraction and the focus of this project. According to the site study, there are two major entrance for residents and people in the neighborhood to enter the site separately. In the middle is the indoor wetland park. Two main streets going through the site with open aerobic tanks placed on them. experiential rendering: housing


As the wetland and the reactors need to be kept indoor, there are a dome and a canopy above them. The structure and shading system of the dome and the canopy is designed by parametric tools and based on the solar analysis of the surface area. Eco-machines are used in this project as visual attractions on site, including green roofs on the housing, living machine (including constructed wetland & open aerobic reactors) in the public space, in order to help visitors and residents to be engaged in the eco-system around them.

URBAN AGRICULTURE CENTER mixed-use | urban agriculture | second-year fall studio | 7 weeks studio professor: Joshua Bard instructor: Jennifer Lucchino individual project This project is to design an urban agricultural center in Larimer neighborhood, Pittsburgh, PA, US. Facing the reality of Larimer community, with high crime rate and high vacant lot ratio, Larimer is one of the least developed neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. In Larimer, 40% of the residents live alone. To reduce the sense of loneliness and to strengthen the sense of community, with the belief that nature would bring people closer, the design is to create an urban agricultural center, with buildings grow from the ground, making the roof area become walkable and inhabitable.

The hoop house project is a seven-week project to build a greenhouse for the planting bed in Larimer Community Garden in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. The design idea is to redefine the phrase “hoop house�. We started with modules made of two hoops and overlapped them to create a new image of traditional hoop house. As the planting bed assigned to us is close to the intersection of the two major roads, we also considered this hoop house to be the visual attraction of the community garden to all community members.

site plan


During the design process, we carefully studied the environmental condition of the site, including plants, wind, sun and rain. We designed the structural frame as a detailed digital model in Rhino and constructed it with conduits, nuts and bolts. To create the accurate curvature of the conduit, we made wooden form-works for each piece. The membrane is made of greenhouse plastic. We used heat-shrinking tools to attach it to the structural frame.
