Learn From The Past To Build A Better Future The G4 team believes that innovative pub lic spaces add value to the community by being engines of ecological and social sustainability. Taking what are often seen as environmental detractors, we synthesize appropriate design gestures that change a negative to a positive. From flood prone depressed areas we have designed an easily replicated floodable development with multiple curated active programs. The unique urban context of the Washington Manor neighborhood was paid special attention with its unique infrastructure and ecology. Programs are tailored to the social and cultural demographics found here. Connectivity and visibility along with iconic design make Estuary Village a desirable home that many generations will continue to know and value.

REGIONAL STRATEGY We wanted to design a method of thinking that can be replicated in areas that have similar flooding challenges to create win-win situations. The cut material taken inland can be used to fill areas along the shore to create horizontal levees. This is a coastal adaptation strategy that can mitigate flooding inland and adapt to sea level rise along the edges.

PLASTERSCAPE Arch 415 - Byoungsoo Cho - Fall 2014 - Seoul, South Korea
This project requirement were to explore and understand the materiality of plaster which would then be applied to building and design strategies. While creating these plaster subjects I found myself following the curves and walking along the plastered landscape. I felt challenged to recreate this feeling through form.
SITE
Seochon is one of Seoul’s oldest districts and holds countless historical landmarks and heritage. Due to its cultural significance and peaceful nature, many artists and writers flock the streets which are lined with galleries and studios. Similarly, in the past Joseon leaders and poets lived in the area. In order to enlighten and replenish themselves, they would often retreat to the bamboo forest where they were embraced by nature.
USERS
CONCEPT Tradition
Business Employees
Writers/ Artists
Local Families
Tired from working in an office and wish to temporarily rest from their busy schedule.
Hoping for a catalyst that nurtures creative inspiration and intellectual growth.
Looking for a safe haven to connect with loved ones and enjoy a peaceful meal.
Modern Needs
Form
Because Seochon is progressively becoming more like the rest of Seoul—louder and busier, the proposed program is to create a modern bamboo forest where business workers, artists, writers, and even families can take a break from their busy lives to replenish themselves. My concept is to connect the tradition of seeking renewal with modern needs and the fluidity of plaster.
MATERIALITY AND FORM EXPLORATION
Plaster subject was created by slightly manipulating a thick pvc plastic into a box mold and using mesh as reinforcement. Gravity allows the plaster to sink into the crevices and harden into smooth, sweeping form--showing the materiality of plaster and pv plastic.

EXPERIENCE Upon entering the site, the user has an option to enter through the concrete entrances created by section cuts of my building or take the curved stairs up to the roof garden. The wider space is flat and allows for various activities such as picnicking, sketching, and reading. From here, the users can take a curved ramp downwards into the building where they are calmed by a pool of water where they can reflect silently. Inside is a quieter space with sunken seating for business meetings or study. Windows neighboring this seating area are easily slid open and closed to allow natural light and fresh air into the space. Although inside the building, users will not feel suffocated, but instead enlightened due to its openair quality. Moving further inside is a slanted wall with holes that allow light to enter, casting an interesting shadow on the floor as the day progresses. Beyond that is a smaller, more intimate space highlighted by a maple tree that changes with the season for those that wish to further retreat from the city. The ground floor outside the building was inspired by the flat areas of my plaster model and is left as an open green space.
THOMAS SQUARE CONCEPT
Arch 341 Fall 2013 W. Meguro Honolulu, HI
Thomas Square is a significant part of Hawaiian history that remains on the island today. The purpose is to reactivate the park through built interventions, programs, and landscape design. My challenge was to reprogram this park to facilitate greater community interaction and education. New programs introduced are a community vegetable garden with a herb wall and a biofiltration ponds for storm-water treatment. In the center is a banyan tree pavilion that draws attention and provokes interaction. The focal and the historical symbol of the site are the banyan trees. My concept is to create a bridge between the past and the present by creating a modern structure that will age in time with the trees. As time goes on, the banyan tree’s aerial roots will wrap around the pavilion, making it grow denser and denser.

PAVED PATHWAYS Circulatory paths were designed as a reaction to the existing routes pedestrians and bikers took through the park. WATER FEATURES The water channel leads the users eye into the park and disappears within the banyan trees. Biofiltration ponds with native plants were introduced into the landscape to reduce pollution and runoff, and to serve as an educational tool for residents

CONCEPT
WATERSHED
“E hele mai ia Ala Wai!” (Let’s go the Ala Wai way!) We would like to hear this as Ala Wai becomes the forefront of public life and another jewel in the crown of Waikiki. We see the new Ala Wai as an integral part of local life, an exciting destination for residents and tourists, all the while being able to mitigate flooding, address sea level rise, and provide ecological benefits. To address the challenges of this area we used six criteria in our design: education, connectivity, increase in recreation, flood mitigation, ecological function, and economic health.
Particularly at risk is the urban core of Waikiki located perpendicular to the meeting point of Manoa Stream and Palolo Stream, an important gathering place of economic, social, and cultural activity.

LIVELY PROMENADE: HOLOHOLO ‘EU ‘EU
The existing Hawaiian tapa paved path and banyan trees are preserved. We are introducing terraced modular planters with native plants and a secondary path. The terraced form of these planters is a flood adaptation strategy that invites water to flow inland without unwanted overflow upland. Planters are modularized for ease of installation, replicability in other areas, and can be stacked to create a barrier against storm and flooding. To create a six-foot sea wall, it would take three of these planters whereas it would take 312 sandbags to build a similar levee.

CONCEPT
For the challenge of designing a rain shelter, we thought it necessary first to consider the meaning of shelter. Shelter is commonly understood to be a place giving protection from danger, but in the Hawaiian language, the word for shelter, Wahi Lulu, can also be interpreted as Place of Calmness. With our design, we sought to create a place that not only acts to protects its users from the weather, but also to embrace the beauty of it. The roof structure is designed to shed rainwater onto the vegetated rock wall to remind the users that although we may need protection from the rain, we cannot forget that it is the source of life. Responsibilities: Design and rendering.
BUILDING COMPONENTS
The construction process of the design incorporates simple wood framing techniques and standard slab-on-grade foundation. The vegetated rock wall follows typical gabian wall construction. Corrugated steel panels will be bolted onto the wood trusses as well as suspended by steel rods. The overall process is simple and could be managed by any contracting group.

RAIN DIAGRAM
Our pavilion makes use of expansive overhangs to shield from both sun and rain. The open plan allows for air to flow freely through the space, maintaining a comfortable environment. Seating is placed to orient the users towards the windmills and the natural open space for convenience of presentation viewing.
