LongHouse Eli-Whitney Museum Ext.

core studio instructor: Joyce Hsiang Yale School of Architecture 2013
Capturing the framework of the vernacular architecture that first inspired the original Eli Whitney factories that stood on this site, this museum extension is designed as a series of rooms progressing from a lobby and cafe, through the museum’s active and display zones to a framed view of the surrounding environs that make the museum’s site the attraction that it is and allowing the inspired minds of the youth who come to occupy the space to be fully immersed in the water element that was previously the subject of the study space that previously occupied the new structure’s location.

Framing Motion Dance Machine
09
core studio instructor: Joyce Hsiang Yale School of Architecture 2013
As the Highline to which it is adjacent frames views of the city as one follows its path, their motion linearly prescribed, from street to street through the urban fabric, so does this dance studio frame the dancers in their choreographed motions for the viewer. The building’s dark exterior contrasts with the brightly lit studio spaces, directing the focus to the dancers, while elevating them above the din and bustle of the streets and away from the hordes of the Highline. A large, accessible open courtyard at the center welcomes those passing by and draws them in with the suddenly revealed transparency of the dance studios.

Garden House Building Project
013
core studio instructors: Peter de Bretteville, Adam Hopfner, Amy Lelyveld, Joeb Moore, Alan Organschi, team: Jean Chen, Michelle Chen, Kiana Hosseini, Anne Householder, Eugene Tan, Winny Tan, John Wan Yale School of Architecture 2014
The Garden House weaves far eastern traditions of house and garden with the formal qualities of its context to create a contextual, yet unique living experience. Layers of walls, partitions and slatted fences manage the transparency from without and views from within of the various rooms of the house. In between, seasonal gardens, planted according to the environmental conditions of their location, mediate the transition from indoor to outdoor, extending the limited space of the house (800 sq. ft.) through this transition. The low, single story design also accommodates aging and disabled residents, preparing the house for an aging population.

With the complexity of the architectural project, from built form to problems of the city, constantly growing and expanding, it is time that architectural education be re-framed to reflect the collaboration of experts nature of the contemporary architectural reality. This school, proposes, through its spaces and configuration of program, a departure from the jack-of-all-trades architectural education to a tripart specialized curriculum focused around three streams of design thinking: formal, structural and fabrication based. Between its dedicated collaborative spaces, dispersed workshops, open ground plane and ample circulation, the design creates a diversity of stimulating environments for meeting and collaboration.
