Professional Statement
Language
As a practitioner and a researcher, I believe that a positive design process should be shaped by its unique social and ecological context, as well as represented sustainable values resting on the three pillars of the economic, the environmental, and the social. With strong passion in the field of building technology research and design , my ultimately professional goal is to pursue the above value through lifelong practice and service.

Cultural Residential Complex Design Exploring A New Sustainable Design Paradigm
2016 May Total Area: 300,000 sf Location: New York, NY Latitude: 40.7128° N, Longatitude: 74.0059° W Climate Zone: 4A
Part 1. Project Background and Supportive Theories • Site Information The site of this project is located in Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, NY. The longitude and altitude are 70.0059W, 40.7128N. The climate zone is 4A. The climate condition of New York City is humid subtropical climate. Winter here is usually cold and damp, and the daily temperature in January (the coldest month) is 32.6 oF. Summer here is warm to hot, humid, and daily mean temperature is 76.5 oF in July (the hottest month). The site is surrounded by Delancy St. in the northeast, Essex St. in the north west, Broome St. in the southwest and Sorfulk St. in the southeast. Delancy St. is one of the major driving approach within Lower East Side,
and it is connected with Williamburg Bridge directly. During 1950s, this area became a part of Essex Crossing Development. The historic districts are reserved very well and filled with richness of street life and comfortable pedestrian. The functions of these urban space are quite mixed, which are used as apartments with basic living facilities, culture institutes, commercial buildings, and schools. Towards the southwest and southeast areas are occupied by new developed housing, which are normally more than twenty stories apartment towers with open-area parking lots. Street conditions in these area are lack of sanitized and less friendly.
[1] Research Importance and design intention Since this project is set in a complicated urban environment, there are several factors which need high priorities of design consideration.
Road map &Figure-ground map
Firstly, as survey posted in the Lower East Side Community Development website, local residents have a strong willingness to have a new project shaped by street-scale physical spaces and well fit into the existing historic dimension, rather than an irrelevant modern “big box” architecture. Secondly, in terms of solar environment, several residential towers in the south side bring negative impact to the proposed site and produce heavy shadows through the whole year. Efficient solutions to reduce negative solar impact will be needed.
Block Types
Thirdly, since this project is not only used as housing, but also functions museum and street market, which will be an impressive part for the future development to invite more people in sake of living, visiting, and promoting the local land value, it will be expected to become a landmark of Lower East Side.
Therefore, the design intentions will be: a. Create a friendly spatial conversation with urban context and integration with community character. b. Create a healthy and comfortable environment which will well response to sunlight and climate challenges. c. Create an attractive living-cultural place which will be the prospective landmark of Lower East Side. Also, there are two energy and daylight performance goals: 1) Positively response to the 2030 challenge. 2) Make more than 75% of the space has sDA 300lx value for more than 50% of occupied hours, and less than 10% the space has an ASE greater than 250 hours.

[5] My design tactic—Urban Aspect 1) Be based on a proper analysis of local conditions. 2) Be aimed at simultaneous change of physical fabric, social structures, economic base and environmental conditions_kitnet urban fabric 3) focus on integration of physical quality updated as well as community belongings shaped. 4) Be consistent with the aims of sustainable development.
Part 3. Design Goals, Methodology, and Workflow [1] My Principals I. Be based on a proper analysis of local conditions. II. Aim at simultaneous changes of physical fabric, social structures, economic base and environmental conditions. Sew urban fabric. III. Focus on integration of physical quality updated as well as community belongings shaped. IV. Be consistent with the aims of sustainable development. V. Set clear, quantified objectives. VI. Make the best possible use of available natural, economic, human and other resources. [2] General Design Concepts 1. Sewing fabric: In overall layout, make friendly conversations with different side of orientation with adjacent. a) Bring positive impact from east-north into site. b) Reduce street negative which is from west-south sides. c) Make the east and north part (walkable and cultured neighborhood) and west and south part (open air, high density and height housing complexes) well integrated. (Integrate rather than segregate: By putting the right things in the right place, relationships develop between those things and they work together to support each other.) d) Make street elevation into an interface communicating with context: along Delancey St.----- mesoscale, focus on localization conveyed through an iconic status; along Broome St. and Suffolk St.-----street scale, focus on bringing street vitality into negative space. 2. Focus on integration of physical quality updated as well as community belongings shaped. a) Make market-site center into an engine producing friendly, sustainable, and localization. Street market is the most democratic place. b) Food! and Sun! take Street market as a Local-culture engine (with some open kitchen?). Take sustainable
technologies as a Sun engine. c) Design three city squares--- Market Square, Art (or Museum) Square, and Green Square 3. Adapt sustainable strategies all through 1&2, integrated with orientation, shaded, landscape, energy storage and other passive design technology. Building performance goals • Goals: fit into Ultra-Low Energy Building, and toward Net-Zero Building • Principles: holistic design principles. Green material (CLT), Passive solar orientation, natural ventilation, daylighting, thermal mass, and night time cooling. Most zero net energy buildings get half or more of their energy from the grid, and return the same amount at other times. Buildings that produce a surplus of energy over the year may be called “energy-plus buildings” and buildings that consume slightly more energy than they produce are called “near-zero energy buildings” or “ultra-low energy houses”. Because of the design challenges and sensitivity to a site that are required to efficiently meet the energy needs of a building and occupants with renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, etc.), designers must apply holistic design principles, and take advantage of the free naturally occurring assets available, such as passive solar orientation, natural ventilation, daylighting, thermal mass, and night time cooling.
