Chi Hung Leung Portfolio by Brandon Leung

2012-2014 Portfolio Southern California Institute of Architecture Chi Hung Leung (323)647-1522 Brandon_Leung@Hotmail.com

Portfolio Introduction After two years studying in SCI-Arc, I gain lots of knowledge about architecture. Before I get into the development of my portfolio and experience with my education, I would like to begin with the definition of Architecture. By defining architecture, we learn that it is an art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. The practice of architecture emphasizes spatial relationships, orientation, the support of activities to be carried out within a designed environment, and the arrangement and visual rhythm of structural elements, as opposed to the design of structural systems themselves (see civil engineering). Appropriateness, uniqueness, a sensitive and innovative response to functional requirements, and a sense of place within its surrounding physical and social context distinguish a built environment as representative of a cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architecture. Therefore, architecture requires students to have a multiple, diverse insight and perspective to come up with a well-concluded design. The SCI-Arc diverse curriculum has taught me lots of things that I need to learn in different areas. For instance, the goals of GS Humanities I were to let students become familiar with the methods by which cultural values are transmitted by societies through their artistic heritage; and learn methods of representation, including symbolism, metaphor and allegory. Students were tasked with making connections between different modes of expression and phases of cultural development. Through the understanding of this course, I realize that portfolio is like an artistic heritage which is a platform for people to exchange thoughts. When I was preparing my portfolio, I put in a lot of efforts to organize courses systematically and show how each project was developed so others will be able to understand them. The course also teaches me the way to connect things through different modes of expression. Therefore, when I was structuring my portfolio, I utilized different techniques to express what I want to convey in each project either by graphics or words. Without taking this course, It would be difficult for me to come up with creative solutions when I was designing the structure of my portfolio. The way my work is represented is also based on the knowledge that I had accumulated in one of the CS courses, Intro to Urban System as well. The format of this course is a historical survey of urban design from the past 150 years, from 1860 to 2010. Urban systems by themselves are singular and limited and are often the responsibility of a specific engineering or social discipline. Therefore, the course emphasizes on the strategic integration of Urban systems as it is the domain of the architect-planner and the bewildering variety of integrated systems will be framed and explained through the lens of this survey. One of the things that I can get out of this class is the varieties of organizational strategies and rigid disciplines. Thus, when I was designing with the way my work is representing, I created a rigid layout to follow and applied certain logics to it. Over last couple semesters, I learned that drawings and models are representational tools to express my designs and communicate with others. Even though the fact that we were not designing realistic buildings yet, I am aware of the importance of the structure and tectonics and I tried to address them as much as I could in each project most of the times. To me, drawings show the details of programs and tectonics of the project mainly while Models focus on the visual rhythm and structural components of the project and its visualization. I also realized that computer softwares such as grasshopper and other CAD tools are essential because it helps students to express different ideas. In the near future, I will utilized the knowledge that I have been exposed to move towards my thesis as each course would contribute a certain degrees of unique, valuable lessons to my insight. I recognize that the needs of absorbing information from cross-media platforms and multi-perspective standpoints, as they are the essential nutrients for students to form a well-thought, distinctive language in my future education.

Project Overview Fire Protection Water Reservoir Location: South Antelope Valley, CA

Individual Project Instructor: Eric Kahn Sep - Dec 2012 If cube is 3D, knot is 2D, and Root is 1D, Knoop is a transitional transformation from volume to line. The figure is anexct which means two similar things separated by a slightly different dissimilitude from each other. All figure and roots are not the same in the knoop project. For example, there is an origin between knot and roots. Following the origin, there are two groups of similar roots. Even though they look the same, they have different amounts of arrayed branches. This project explores the integration between DIscrepancy and Dissimilitude. DIscrepancy refers to The state or quality of being discrepant; difference; inconsistency. It is also an instance of difference or inconsistency: There are certain discrepancies between the two versions of the story. On the other hand, dissimilitude has the similar meaning of disimilarity which means differences. It can also refer to a point of difference.

Project Overview Los Angeles Art Museum Location: Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, CA 2B Studio Individual Project Instructor: Jenny Wu Jan - Apr 2013 The primiary interest of this project is to create a continuous spatial experience that is composed by a folded circulating geture. Through the explorations of parts-to-whole relationship, the museum is composed by five diffierent parts. The architectural form of this museum encourages people to enter the building through its tail, and it will lead people all the way to the top floor of the whole museum. The secondary circulation lead people from the undergraound level to converge with the main circulation in the lobby. The secondary emphasis of this project is to create an architectural from that emerges from the ground gradually. This is why the spatial sequence of the museum starts in the underground level, and ends in the air.

This project explores the relationship between structural morphology and overall building mass and organization in the design of a natatorium located on a pier in The Embarcadero in San Francisco. The proposal for this project is to create a multiplatform megastruture natatorium in order to form a modern, relaxing water pool experience while conserving the historic context of the surrounding environment. The inspiration is the Tokyo Bay Project by Kenzo Tange. Without altering the site, the natatorium is like a floating island that sits on top of the original pier columns so as to preserve the existing cultural context. The programs are located inside the giant A-frames with secondary structures supporting the pools. The beginning and the end of structure are composed by repeating A-frames structures. The middle section of the project consists a series of gathering pools in which the idea was from the gathering hot springs from nature. It also has water slides underneath the gathering pools, with several waterfalls coming off from different pools.

Project Overview School of Music Location: manhattan, new york

Group Project Instructor: Darin Johnstone Jan - Apr 2014 For the concept of this music school project, we used two different morphologies to different the performance spaces with from the typical programs. We wanted to bring out the continuity and the dynamics aspect of the performance space in the music school. THerefore, the theater spaces are connected to each other continuously. The appearance of the external facade came from the internal floor plan datum and the levels of importance. The more important of the internal program is, the more coffers and windows would be attracted to it. Because the largest theater is located at the right half of the music school, The right half of the external facade expresses a very intensed characteristic. This is why the right half of the external facade are appeared to be more dramatic and denser than the left half of the facade. On the other hand, we also want to connect the internal public spaces with the site environment. This is why we chose the combination of windows and coffer so as to support our argument. 40 3B Studio | School of Music

Project Overview City Operations Location: Downtown Los Angeles, CA 4A Studio Group Project Instructor: Alexis Rochas Sep - Dec 2014 Website: http://brandonleung.wix.com/studio4a Description: We looked at the downtown Los Angeles Zoning Map and discovered that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The existing zoning map of downtown Los Angeles is figural and each zone is well segregated from each other. There are four basic zoning which are residential zone, commercial zone, industrial zone, and green space. For instance, green space includes parks and public spaces while residential zone has residential houses, and apartments, etc. We have the idea that each city block even a single building has its own zoning. Through manipulating and redistributing the ratios between different zonings, each one square mile microzones will produce a variety of different results. We Also have the idea that the city wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t behave in a concentrated metropolis, but it could potentially be like a distributed metropolis, in which all of the one square mile microzone samples are all separated from each other.

1D Zoning Zoning describes the control by authority of the use of land, and of the buildings thereon. Areas of land are divided by appropriate authorities into zones within which various uses are permitted. 1D ZONING represents the zoning in ratio percentage. 2D ZONING represents the zoning in area. 3D ZONING represents the zoning in volumn. 4D ZONING represents the zoning changes through time. Time is the fourth dimension.

In a 1D perspective, we focus on manipulating and redistributing the ratios between different zonings.

54 4A Studio | City Operations

2D Zoning In a 2D zoning perspective, we replace the existing zoning with multiple zonings.

VS The Ornamental Dimension

Project Overview Final Project

3A Seminar

Individual Project Instructor:Ramiro Diaz-Granados Sep - Dec 2013 This project produces something beyond surface relief where certain elements begin to emerge from the surface on the brink of detaching itself altogether. This is an ornamental panel that turns into a column essentially. The concept of the ornamental panel is to express the idea of growth and transformations. The panel started with a repetitive pattern in the left at first. As the gradient goes from the left to right, the panel adjusts to the new paradigms gradually. The changes in forms, colors, textures, and sizes are intended to contribute an influence to the original panel. By incooperating multivalence into the design of the ornamental panel, it does not just hold asethetic aspects but it also contains an unique set of values and contents.

We begin with an understanding of basic thermodynamics and climatic conditions of the site. Then, we examine the fundamental issues of passive energy systems as they apply to architectural production and performance. After we compute the physics of the buildin environment, basic environmental conditions and human comfort, we then relocate and renovate the precedent studies in order to improve the thermodynamics performance.

Project Overview Case Study: Raiffeisenhaus Wien.2 Case Study Raiffeisenhaus Wien.2 Tower Location: Vienna, Austria

Vienna, Austria An automated shading system in between the layers of the double facade optimizes thermal efficiency, but can be over-ridden by employees to better suit their preferences.

The RHW.2 Office Tower is the world‘s first Passive House office tower, with its certification coming from three main factors: •thermal efficiency of the well-insulated double facade •daylighting to reduce electrical lighting requirements •advanced mechanical systems

3B Seminar

The tower is only 60 feet deep, allowing natural daylight to penetrate far into the interior from both sides, with the inner layer having operable windows to allow natural ventilation. Occupancy and brightness sensors in each office reduce light and cooling loads, while using local site resources to further reduce costs: about 60% of the heating needs are fufilled from the waste heat of a neighboring data center, and water from the adjacent canal is used for cooling in the summer.

Group Project Instructor: Ilaria Mazzoleni & Russell Fortmeyer Jan - Apr 2014 In this class, we learned how the surrounding environment would have an effect on the building. The environmental factors such as lighting, air circulation and the ambient noise level would have a relationship with the performance-driven architectural designs. In this particular case study, we learned how to use mathematical formulas to figure out the total amount of natural ventilation area, and how it moves throughout the whole building.

In this class, we want to find out whether it is possible to build a residential project that is located very close to major freeways in Los Angeles. Typically speaking, the city of Los Angeles would not allow anyone to build the houses on the lands that are very close to major freeways due to air pollutions heath concerns. We then analyze the environmental data and ran CFD ins order to stimulate a realistic environment and study the relationship between air movement and air pollutions. Based on the environmental research, each of us would come up with a mitigation strategy design, which is verified by the CFD model at the end.

ART A RT D DISTRIC ISTRIC

Today the Arts District remains the home of artists, arts enterprises and many employed in L.A.s film and television industry. The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), resides in the 110 year old, quarter mile-long (0.40 km) former Santa Fe Freight Depot that has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Across the street is a 438-unit apartment complex, "One Santa Fe," that opened in 2014. Designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture (MMA), a Los Angeles based architecture firm.

Area Movement

ART DISTRIC

The Arts District occupies the eastern side of Downtown Los Angeles, USA. Its borders are Alameda Street on the west, the 101 freeway on the north, the LA River to the east, and 10 freeway to the south. The Arts District is filled with older industrial and former railroad buildings. In 1981, the City of Los Angeles passed its "Artist in Residence" or "AIR" ordinance, which allowed residential use of formerly industrial buildings - artists had long used such spaces as living quarters illegally, and the AIR law sought to bring this practice into legality and regulation.

Challenges face the Arts District today, not least of which is the loss of inexpensive lofts to developers who have converted some former loft and studio buildings into condos. Community leaders are struggling to balance the economic opportunities offered by gentrification with the need to preserve the character of the Arts District as a creative community that has made contributions to the cultural and economic well-being of Los Angeles for decades.

DOUBLE-LAYER SKIN DIAGRAM

Rainwater Collecting System & Greywater Recycling System

Because of the very strong sunlight on the south and west facade of the building, we add a second skin onto it. The second skin is a perforated skin with thousands of tubes, in order to reduce the direct sunlight. The second skin not only gives sustainable effect, but also gives a special visual effect with the variety of size of the perforations. These tubes can also rotate up and down, in order to reduce or gain sun light in different seasons. During spring and fall, the tubes stay straight so the reduction and gain from the sunlight is balanced. During Summer, because of the high temperature which is cost by the longer time of sunlight, the tubes are rotated downward to reduce the direct sunlight, so the interior of the building can stay cool. During Winter, because of the low temperature which is cost by the shorted time of sunlight, the tubes are rotated upward to gain the direct sunlight, so the interior of the building can stay warm.

Shanghai is a rainy city, especially in summer. Therefore, we put a lot of rainwater collecting tanks on the roof of the building and also under the ground. The rainwater collecting tanks provides fresh water to the bathrooms, so students can use the collected rainwater to flush the toilet and wash hands. The mastershield collects rainwater for the cisterns which are buried underground. The cistern underground and the tanks on the roof all provides water to the bathrooms and all of them are connected through the pipes, and there are also small tanks in side the walls to store water for the bathrooms. We are also interested in recycling the greywaters from the toilets and sinks, there are cisterns underground to collect the greywater to irrigate the grass and flowers.

ACCESS TO QUALITY TRANSIT

CERTIFICATE

Intent: To encourage development in locations shown to have multimodal transportation choices or otherwise reduced motor vehicle use, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and other environmental and public health harms associated with motor vehicle use. Requirements : Locate any functional entry of the project within a ¼-mile (400-meter) walking distance of existing or planned bus, streetcar, or rideshare stops, or within a ½-mile (800-meter) walking distance of existing or planned bus rapid transit stops, light or heavy rail stations, commuter rail stations or ferry terminals. The transit service at those stops and stations in aggregate must meet the minimums listed in Tables 1 and 2. Planned stops and stations may count if they are sited, funded, and under construction by the date of the certificate of occupancy and are complete within 24 months of that date. Sci arc has Multiple bus stops in the surroundings in less than ¼-mile walking distance, however with the pedestrian bridge proposed, It will induce the students to walk across busy first street. towards south where are located multiple restaurants and cafe shops.

WATER EFFICIENCY Rainwater Management

CERTIFICATE

Intent: To reduce runoff volume and improve water quality by replicating the natural hydrology and water balance of the site, based on historical conditions and undeveloped ecosystems in the region.

Abundance - Rainfall in Shanghai is abundant with 129 rainy days annually. Average annual rainfall is about 1,143.5 mm, placing Shanghai about equal to Vancouver in terms of precipitation.

Requirements : In a manner best replicating natural site hydrology processes, manage on site the runoff from the developed site for the 95th percentile of regional or local rainfall events using low-impact development (LID) and green infrastructure.

Seasonal Variability - The monthly rainfall in Shanghai varies greatly from month to month. Fifty percent of rainfall typically occurs between June and September during what are known as ‘plum rains,’ ‘typhoon season,’ or flood period. During this heavy rain period, average rainfall reaches 590 mm! As well, on an average of three days per year, Shanghai experiences torrential rains, during which more than 50 mm of rain fall in a single day.

Use daily rainfall data and the methodology in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Technical Guidance on Implementing the Stormwater Runoff Requirements for Federal Projects under Section 438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act to determine the 95th percentile amount.

Geographic Variability - The spatial distribution of rainfall in Shanghai county is uneven with urban areas receiving a greater annual rainfall than the surrounding areas. Within the urban region, the amount of rain decreases from south to north.

Manage on site the annual increase in runoff volume from the natural land cover condition to the postdeveloped condition.
