CYCLING & RECYCLING

A Urban Plaza / Bike Hotspot / City Memorial Academic Work Fall 2012 Instructor: Keith Plymale & Marisha Farnsworth

After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake the damaged Central Freeway in San Francisco was removed and replaced by the surface-level Octavia Boulevard. This urban plaza design aims to adopt the cycling culture of the hayes valley district and to recycle the urban construction wastes to produce a disaster memorial.


The DIRECTION of the post-disaster urban development is derived mathematically and it shows that the renewal process is no longer orthogonal as the existing city grid. Therefore, the local circulatory activities, including cycling, shall be RE-DIRECTED for the residents to conveniently access the new developments.

Local construction MATERIAL survey The co-existence of concrete and vegetation in local construction features the post-industrial urban context of this deisng as well as a growing environmental consciousness in SF. Therefore, weathered reinforced concrete is extensively used in constructing this design to exhibit not only the temporal nature of the urban community, but also a permanent mark of time.


In order to share the orthogonal grid developed for the high-speed automobiles, the existing bike lane design sacrificed agile nature of cycling and it is restraining the bikers to travel in a unnatural linear fashion.

GOODFOOD

A Urban Conjunction of Food Awareness and Education Academic Work Spring 2013 Instructor: Roddy Creedon, Alan Tse

This course has emphasize on incorporating the building climatic performative strategies in our designs. This design of a hypothetical building we are calling GOODFOOD in response to the local good food movement documented in the film “Edible City�.

In order to address the continually shifting set of needs in food production, consumption and research all on one site, these set of program analysis organizes the activites by their spatial momentum to create an evolving infrastructure which support those needs.

One important phase of the design is to create an architectural facade that corresponds to my building performative research made about cross-ventilation. Hence, I proposed this facade design to promote cross-ventilation with the changing porosity of the skin and its adjacent ventilation courts.

FRAMING THE PIER

Berkeley Pier Fish Market

Academic Work Spring 2012 Instructor:Keith Plymale & Marisha Farnsworth

VIEW ORIENTATION

The Berkeley Pier Fish Market is a scheduled weekly, Saturday event that transforms into an occupy-able public facility for the other six days of the week. The experiential transformation along this sequential space is designed to bring the pier to life.

City shores are often considered as the boundary of unban developments. Hence, piers at the edge of the two distinct realm have their complex functions in terms of softening the harsh division and creating a transitionary platform to evoke te semanitc and narrative potential of the site.
