SHIH YU LANG SAN FRANCISCO YMCA
Architecture 100B Studio Fall 2011 | Professor Lisa Iwamoto A YMCA by nature is a hybrid building, consisting of an assortment of program to provide a civic center to the area. The design began In the exploration of energy producing skin that employs a cable and vertical axis wind turbine system . The combination of fixed units operational turbines above, produces diaphanous and flowing skin that reacts with environmental conditions.
SITE The analysis of wind patterns through the city and the site informed the form of the building, which seeks to maximize wind penetration with a void cut in the direction of the northwesterly winds. The cut also creates a central corridor that allows for pedestrians to walk through the center of the block from McAllister Street to Golden Gate Avenue, reinforcing the building as a community link within the city fabric.

PROGRAM Working with the needs of a YMCA, the enclosure varies based on programmatic requirements and activity levels on each floor. Enclosure decreases on each level in accord with the increasing physical activities of the program. The skin system allows for the opportunity to use natural ventilation in the more athletically active areas.

STUDY OF NATURALLY LIT SPACE
Architecture 140: Building Science Energy And Environment Spring 2011 | Professor Chris Benton
The intent of this project is to design a sculpture exhibition space that accounts for the climate of Flagstaff Arizona, and accomodates the light levels necessary for the artwork to be displayed.. The project began with clmate study and shading analysis, followed by light simulation testing.
Building dimensions 24’x38’x15’
Raised roof for floating effect
Thermal mass in response to climate
Thick walls provide shading and window sills act as diplay and sitting perch
DESIGN The gallery is illuminated entirely by natural light from the large ribbon window and clerestory windows. Shading is achieved by creating a deep wall into which the glazing is set back. The thickness of the walls also provides energy benefits by creating a thermal mass to store daytime solar heat gain and dampen diurnal temperature swings inside the building.

EXPERIMENTAL MATERIAL STUDIES
Architecture 242: Elastomers Graduate Research Seminar Part 1 Spring 2013 | Professor Paz Gutierrez | In collaboration with Kate Greenberg
Bloom is a wall system composed of modular cast silicone units, designed to filter light through the opening and closing of a thin geometry. In an exploration of the elastic qualities of silicone, bloom derives its form from biomimicry studies of the movement of morning glories. The design evolved through iterative castings, in order to reach a unit that integrates structure with a dynamic surface membrane.

Process The unit’s range of motion was tested digitally, through parametric scripting, and physically with the attachment of wire and string to the surface membrane. However, the design is intended to function through the application of shape memory alloys that contract or expand in reaction to heat sensors. In practice bloom is an environmentally responsive system. The breathable skin moderates light with the ability to stay open acting as a diffuser while exposed to direct sunlight-or close when not in direct sunlight to allow more ambient light to enter through the openings between the units.
ELASTIC APERTURES EXPERIMENTAL MATERIAL STUDIES
Architecture 242: Elastomers Graduate Research Seminar Part 2 Spring 2013 | Professor Paz Gutierrez | In collaboration with Kate Greenberg, Pablo Hernandez, Chris Lee, Peter Samuelson, Charles Irby, Peter Suen, and Levon Fox
The second half of the research course continued with a larger group collaboration further examining the possibilities of elastomers and 3D printing technology. Inspiration for the wall started with the study of plant stoma, and proceeded in taking advantage of the elastomeric characteristics of silicone. The end result: a wall installation of flexible but durable apertures set in a translucent membrane delicate enough to glow with ambient light.
Process The printer was built by modifying a simple plastic filament printer with a generic silicone sealant tube and pump attachment. Various tests were performed to study the maximum angle of displacement capable for printing with a viscous material. Six cylindrical modules at varying sizes and skew angles were printed, ninety in total across three panels. Based on tests done in the first half of the course, laser cut acrylic was used to create the large molds for the wall pieces. After placing the printed cylinders around plugs on the acrylic mold, a translucent silicone compound was poured around the plugs and left for several hours to cure.

Sigtfold Studio creates a hub for film and projection art as a space for production, exhibition, and living. The building is situated on Albany bulb, a man made peninsula of in-fill conrete and rebar which is home to many gorilla art projects including found object sculptures and graffiti. Sightfold Studio sits on the lanscape as a canvas for film and projected art inviting in curious visitors and providing an inspiring living and working space for three resident artists.

DESIGN The design is informed by the paths onsite and organizes the space into volumes based on program and orientation. The cantilevering volumes and soaring roof planes that unfold create areas for artistic exhibition while maintaining uninterrupted paths and a porosity that invites exploration. As a canvas, the material pallete of the buildings is muted, and speaks to the surrounding terrain strewn with concrete block and steel.

Doubts and Challenges Evolution of Innovation
DESIGN The Innovation Curve embodies the spirit of Silicon Valley - the trials and triumphs of great ideas as they come to fruition. As an office campus, the Innovation curve seeks to inspire with airy workspaces, huddle rooms, and a large courtyard serving as a central social and gathering space. The design challenges the concept of the pure modernist glass box with the powerful gesture of an aluminum-clad curve that slices through the curtain wall.

PROGRAM The form creates a dramatic two story lobby that is puntuated with a circular LED-lit resin panel elevator shaft enclosure, and light panels that stretch in either direction of the offices. The curve slips into the office spaces to envelop the stair, accentuating a linear skylight that ensures daylight spills throughout the interior. Huddle rooms and grouped soft seating are arranged among benching desks to create a flexible workspace that fosters collaboration.

DESIGN Working in the context of an existing office campus, the basic triangular volume of workday is pulled and carved to respond to three key access frontages-the Pleasanton BART train station, a sweeping courtyard unifying the complex, and the main vehicular access, Stoneridge road. The entrances pull in toward the central atrium to draw visitors and employees into the hub of the building.

PROGRAM Auditoriums, offices, and meeting rooms extend out from the building’s center. While the cafe, gym, and main circulation cores are orient closely around the entrances and six story atrium. The atrium, punctuated with ‘idea’ cubes and collaboration spaces, challenges the traditional workplace model and encourages the exchange of ideas and mingling of occupants from different floors and departments.

DESIGN Rooted in the philosophy of third space, creating a welcoming and comforable social place outside of work and home, the millbrae restaurant studies began with concepts for a small sculptural form containing casual indoor and outdoor dining. The designs spring off in directions from the premis of softening and eroding the north eastern corner to open up to the main pedestrian circulation between BART and the rest of the complex and city beyond.

DESIGN Swell mobilities captures the energy and motion of downtown Miami drawing inspiration from the Atlantic Ocean with undulating wave-like forms. Each structure houses a component of Miami’s Green Transportation needs. Folloring the coastal North South Axis and responding to main transportation routes, the site and rippling facade invites both commuters and passerby to enjoy the courtyard and amenities.

EMERYVILLE MIXED USE COMPLEX
Architecture 101 Advanced Studio Case Studies in Architecture Fall 2012 | Professor Darrel Fields |
DESIGN
As a mixed-use complex, Linea presents the opportunity to create a new neighborhood hub in Emeryville, a city transitioning from an Industrial center to a home for new businesses, families, and students. The design seeks to work with site conditions by bridging between two city nodes of activity divided by a railroad. This pedestrian and bicycle bridge creates not only an essential connection, but also enlivens street life and extends park space to the roof of an existing parking garage.
