O1. H U M A N B O N D I N G GSAPP Spring Studio 2017 Critic: Umberto Napolitano Individual Work As Paris is one of the typical European cities that the urban plan was designed and controlled by Haussmann. All the buildings are looking similar with straight and wide boulevards. There exists unhealthy neighborhood relationship. People tend to lose their privacy or own interests. The Project is aimed to provide winding streets in between the block to connect the two boulevards. By doing this, there could be green and plaza inserted to provide people with activities and greenness. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, the concept of the project is to design different types of residence buildings to suit different clients. After that, people could have an identification of their own building and enjoy a more friendly neighborhood relaÂtionship. The facades of the buildings are tend to follow the grid with different transformation to meet requirements from environment and neighbor relationship.

As new technology emerges, security check space could be minimized as circulation bridging land side and air side. Therefore space could be saved to accomplish more attracting programs for waiting people to kill time. Not like traditional airport, this new project provide people with various programs such as galleries, gyms, playgrounds and archive for all types of visitors to satisfy their need during waiting time.

Conceptual Diagram Instead of traditional pancake design strategy for the airport, this project aimed to intervene design method from shopping mall. The main concept is to provide “visual efficiency” vs “spatial paradox”, people could have visually connection of the programs that soothes the mental nerves at the same time walking and experience the winding airport routes with retailers and activities on the side. The new airport is not only functioning the airport, but also provide urban activities like gallery and archive for people to w understand the city.

Short Section I The inner courtyard in the airport connecting roof to ground makes the overall spaces visually interacting with each other. People at the check in counter could have a direct sense where is security bridge and gates that provide people a more efficient circulation guidance. Also, the inner courtyard maintains programs as garden for resting and walking, plaza for reading and cafe, that an outdoor space is revealed.

Short Section II People from waiting area could get access to the center courtyard while people from arrival or check in area could not. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visually connectionâ&#x20AC;? satisfies people â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s curiosity and provide a aesthetic and mental comfort for those who are overwhelmed with waiting and boring. In this new airport, people could not only enjoy various types of activities, but also soothe and meditation.

U R B A N C A N O P Y 2015 Fall Semester studio work Critic: Jungwoo Ji Team Members: Shaohua Dong, Yi Zhi Yew Manhattanism is the one urbanistic ideology that has fed, from its conception, on the splendors and miseries of the metropolitan condition—hyper-density—without once losing faith in it as the basis for a desirable modern culture. Manhattan’s architecture is a paradigm for the exploitation of congestion.” - Rem Koolhaas Wood is already treated as “new concrete” for 21th as one of the most sustainable construction material. This project is aimed to combine market, museum and residence these three programs on the two blocks site next to Essex Street in lower Manhattan, NYC. The overall concept is how to solve transition space because this project challenges the combination of public and private space. And the solution we came up with is to provide different hierarchy of green spaces, like public courtyard, semi-public courtyard and communication spaces.

Museum

Study of museums distributed around new york city. Most museums are located near central park along 5th and 6th avenue.

Market There are various types of markets in new york city. As Essex Street is located in lower Manhattan NYC that this is a mixed cultural district combining people from many places. Therefore, the markets surrounding the site are satisfying people from everywhere.

Residence As NYC is one of the most dense cities in the world, that population are already overwhelmed. Therefore, one permanent request is residence.

Greenness Greenness is always what people are looking for in this concrete city. As there are already parks and public resting space in the city, that private greenness for personal property is what people value for urban life.

Site The site is occupying two blocks at the crossing of Essex Street and Delancey Street.

04. “O N T H E T R A C K” 2015 Spring Basel Studio ETH Instructor: Jacques Herzog, Pierre De Meuron Individual Work In Switzerland, there’s now this semi-urbanism; architecture that’s neither good nor bad, neither urban nor rural, where there’s always something green, but never lush or a lot...As long as most people can live like that and it doesn’t suddenly become too dense and packed in the districts, and in the trams and suburban trains, it’s impossible to change it. - Jacques Herzog Basel city in Switzerland is treated as strategic location in social and geological context as it is the city connecting German, France and Italy. The site is occupying an abandoned lifted rail track once belonged to German for cargo transportation. The site is managed to be residential area with tranquil path filling in trees and shrubs. The overall concept is to preserve the slope of the track without excavation as well as greenness.

Site Analysis The site location is in the residential area which maintains a quiet environment. The Site is about 2km long which is on the slope full of green vegetation. The urban context is various along the site through different section cuts including different commercials and public facilities.

Ground Floor Plan As the site is surrounded by an aged living district, the site is facilitated with various public services as sports ground, schools and commercial merchants. The overall design is elaborated with urban city planning to arrange the path and provide public services to benefit the neighbors. people on both sides of the rail track could cross the slope for both residence and commercials.

Typology I: Courtyard

Typology I: Courtyard This is 55 m2 ,two stories unit typology maintaining a courtyard in the center. The courtyard could allow more sunlight in the house.

Typology II: Green Filter

Typology II: Green Filter This is 45m2, three stories unit typology. There is a green filter space facing the rail track direction to filter most of the noise.

Typology III: Solid Wall

Typology III: Solid Wall This is 35m2, four stories unit typology. This is the highest type of housing with a rooftop garden. Windows on the wall facing the rail track direction is not allowed to be opened for noise control.

05. â&#x20AC;&#x153;B A C K T O W O O Dâ&#x20AC;? 2015 Fall Semester studio work Instructor: Jungwoo Ji Selected Entry for AIA Iowa Convention The overall design is inspired by the innovation use of wood of interlocking system. This pavilion project is sited in Governors Island in New York city as contemporary installation. The pavilion is easy assembling and free of connection parts. All the elements could be transported to the site and installed immediately. As for function concern, the pavilion could provide people with sitting area and recycle wall collection. People could have small performance and exhibition activities in the pavilion.

Recycle Wall The waffle structure wall is used as recycling function for plastic bottles and cans. People could push and insert used bottle wherever they want to. The wall is acting as recycled bottle collection function as well as aesthetic decoration for the site.

Sitting Area

Sitting Area and Bike Parking The sitting area is designed based on humanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different figures. The seats are arranged into different height levels to fit all ages of people. Also, bikes could slip into the interlocking gaps between the wood panel for parking.

The sitting and resting areas are designed into different levels to have various experiences for people to playing with the pavilion. The pavilion is multi-function that people could not only recycle bottles but also interact with wood pavilion.

Interlock Structure The overall structure is concerned as waffle system using interlocking technique. Each horizontal panel has various bayonets in the same size to interlock with vertical ones. This technique use of wood is considered as innovation construction type for wood.
