Flooding Problem and rising sea level influence coastal area in New York. Reorganization of coastal highway and new technology might change the transportation system and urban scheme. This project is trying to redefine transit hub and a public culinary art center by connecting landscape, transportation, and people in new flushing center.
Flooding & Strategy New York is a huge coastal city, which will have 9 million residents by 2040. However, climate hazard like flooding impacts the city core. According to the 2050-floodplain, the whole flushing creek area would be influenced by the rising sea level. Highway and transportation system would also be impacted.
Our strategy is to change the complex highway network to a big U protected highway to protect the whole area and release the coastal area to people. Due to the new urban scheme, flushing center will extend to the creek. We create a double X to connect the transit crossing on the river and landscape on the riverside.
Public Culinary Art Plan A culinary Center acts like a resilience center in which different kinds of people can find their own positions. The transit hub is not just a place that people transfer, but a place people meet. People can buy food, cook and eat with others. They can also read and learn knowledge and skills. Up

There will also some loft hotels for teacher and students from other cities.

Terminal for Machines Future Airport Terminal Team member: Yuting He, Shangzi Tu
With the development of economic, the airport will become a station of logistics. Cargo and baggage will become the core rather than people to ensure the efficiency.
Form Research Through the research of Sony Center, we tried to find how the shape controlled by the force and form. We simplified the form with two pure curve and connect them by cables. The balance of the frame and cable is what we want to express in design.

To create more space for machine, we extrude units and connect them at different level. We also add some pattern on the surface to make intersurface more variable

Central Part Rendering Different level connected by volumes of different scale and function. Cargo and luggage travel through the layers in floors and vertical spiral chutes. Storage shelves and maintenance pipeline go through the multi -layer space. The remainder of sapce shaped by the machine system is where people can use and feel the coexisting with machines.
Arrival Level Plan Not like traditional airport terminal, which have huge public space for people. The future terminal is designed for machines. The multi-layer space shape and organize the plan of terminal. People are just participants get involved into the system.
Future Airport Terminal With the development of economic, the airport will become a station of logistics. Cargo and baggage will become the core rather than people to ensure the efficiency. People will be co-existed with objects and can feel the system with the change of shape of space. Different volumes have different functions, such as vertical transport, lighting and baggage system. Lots of layers between different floors make the whole terminal become a whole continuous system.
Departure Level Plan We separate the arrival and departure into two levels and connect them with the volumes, which meet the demand of skylight, vertical transportation and sight contact. People travel through the space, hearing the sound of machines and feeling the operation of system, then become a part of the whole system.
Floating Courtyards Exhibition Hall Individual Work
As the population increased, traditional courtyards which used to provide harmonious life and public center have been destroyed. This project tried to reorganize space according to the scale of HuTong and courtyard to create more connection with original life.

Public Space The unique location and tourism resources attract numerous tourists to Qianmen district every year. However, the site is located in northeast corner of this area and next to a one-way street, which cause nearly nobody arriving there. To enhance its public function, I reserved large area for outdoor exhibition and activities. I considered courtyard as a special kind of intangible heritage, therefore the space for exhibition is abstracted from SiHeYuan pattern to awake memory of harmonious life in courtyard. And the bridge is transferred from Hutong in Beijing to relate different courtyards on the site.

The contradiction between native and floating people in Beijing become more serious than ever before. This project tried to create more opportunities for communication, food -sharing space, as food has substantial function of communication in Chinese culture.
Baitasi district resources & Demography graphic BaiTaSi neighborhood is one of the oldest reserved district in Beijing, therefore, there are plenty of historical sites and LuXun used to live here for several years. The area close to the Financial Street. The coexistence of traditional courtyards and modern building contrast sharply, which also cause high density and diversity of people working and living there. 25767 23953

Occupy the Negative Installation Design Modern city is built on mobility. With the sprawling of Chinese cities, transport infrastructure construction influence the urban space a lot. Urban Viaducts left lots of negative space in cities. This project provides an creative way to re-use the negative space underneath urban viaducts effectively.
Generation & Problems Viaducts are transformed from basic initial prototype of crossing. The viaducts lifted up to guarantee the cross under bridge, but have limited lightness which may cause crimes and sanitation problems. Initial Path

Ways to Occupy There are many ways that we can use the negative spaces under the viaducts. However, people just focus on the benefits it brings to the on-bridge people anf ignore the influence it may cause to people under the bridge. I choose a radical way to occupy the space for revolt.

Floating Tent Space Design Team member: Yuting He, Cuilun Wang, Patrick
Starting from lots of physical models, we find many kinds of space and structure. People love camping to get into nature, but we want to create a floating tent space in the sea.
Assemble Diagram We try to use several compression tent poles to create the form, which can make it become deployable and can be packed into a backpack. With silica gel waterproof membrane, the tent can float on the sea like a boat. The transparent material would let people feel like staying under the water.

Yuting He Physical Models Di Xiao Patrick WithHawley physicalReeves models, we test different material, form and structure. Our first model has crossed arch bottom, which is not stable enough. Therefore, we change the Tsui-Lun Wang shape to four feet and change the laser cut pieces to tubes. We also design and print different joints.
Use of Space The bottom of the tent air-inflated structure and people can sit or lie on it like an air bed. Different height furniture connect to the frame to make them stable. The position of the furniture can be adjusted through the slide on the frame. The tent is also designed for 9 feet to allow people to stand in it,

Spiral Tensegrity Structure Research Team member: Qiaoxi Liu
With the experiment of tensegrity ring, we are interested in this type of structure. We want to get rid of the close circle shape and develop into more three dimentional way. That's why we leave the circle to a spiral shape, so the structure can be extended to more Z-axis.
Prototypes & Plan With Grasshopper, I build the digital model in Rhino and use different sliders to control the distance and length of each layer. We choose one of them to develop the final model. The beautiful of the structure is the perfect circle on a plan, but a spiral shape in three dimensions.
Construction & Details However, when the lift the cirlce up, the structure is not a close shape anymore. That's why we add two pieces which are veticle with tha spiral frame, in this way the wire of each layer can be tied to them and make it a tesegrity structure.
