SEOUL STUDIO The objective of the seol studio was to o understand the diverse urban patterns wh hile simulttaneusly responding architecturally witthin particcula ar cultural, social, politiccal, and religious pressures. After being almost completely destroyed in the Korean War in 1950, Se eoul has now become a higly contemporary and extremely vibrant city. Because of this, Seoul provides an exciting diverse framework for an urban laboratory to operate within. Analysis of naturral and formal ordering principles, contextual perceptions, and influences of layering systems allows for creative design in both a two and three dimensional capacity. Both navigating through and experim menting within Seoul’s unique ch haracteristics generate inquires into architectural urban insertion.

Site Plan

Exploded Axonometric Roof Circulation Elevated circulation allows for the the ground level circulation to continue further on to an open space risen above the the standard elevated view.

Program Community Center space allowed for social, informational, and cultural gatherings.Madang open space created for community space, open to the whole public such as for events and leisure.

Ground Circulation The circulation throughout the design is designated to create a continuous circulation from all entrances that will allow to experience every proposed space from the below ground floor to a

Proposal A space for the community were gatherings and learning activities may be offered. The madang becomes the center for the various events that can take place in this site.

Diagrammatic Spatial Layers

S1Transverse

Subground

Ground

Above ground

The purpose of the subground level was to make a subtle connection between the ground level public space and the community center. Opening up the learning center with the public space.

The ground level or “madang� space (korean) is a public open space for leisure time and a space for recretional activities. A place to hang out with friends and family, it is a place for the community of Seojong.

Our concept called for a continous circulation and activity, which therefore we manipulated the surface levels to accomplish multiple levels and a place to experience and socialize.


Programmatic Adaptation Ground level

Ground/Subground Activity The community center incorporated a small area for learning and by adapting the “madang� we were able to expand two distinct programs into one and really combine and unite a learning environment.

S2 Longitudinal

The advantage of our design proposal was that we incorporated various acces points in order for the users to navigate freely in the open public community center. We also incorporated a back entry point as an access route from the back alley to the main street of our project.

Additional Event Space Exterior Surface

The second level plane opened up the possibilities to have an extra space that could potentially be use as a lookout experience. As korean population keeps growing with time, the space could be an experience to see how things keep changing and adapting in the community over time.

INTER 2121 HOTEL Located on the heart of Dallas, the arts district has continously been growing as the number of artist and architects seek to improve downtown Dallas. The Dallas arts district is the largest arts district in the nation spanning 68 acres and 19 continous blocks. It is comprised of museums, performance halls, corporate offices, reisdences, restaurants, churches and even a school. The newest addition to the arts distrcit was the recent park project, Klyde Warren Park, which now connects the East and West parts of Downtown Dallas. As an approach to this multi story project, Klyde Warren Park opened up the possibilities to also incorporate a sense of the arts district into the new Hotel proposal for downtown Dallas. Bridging the arts district to the East was a major step to allow for more space to be dedicated to public spaces and expand the urban fabric of the arts district.

Inter 2121 Process: Density Field By recreating a local event, in this case, at my current university courtyard I was able to create a full scale art installation that would allow the participants to engage with a given datum, the density field box. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with light and fabric as a medium to explore a process for design.

The participant was able to interact with the installation as a form of understanding scale and practicality versus theory. Spatial Distortion

The massing strategy became the result of the density field interactions. Applying the results to the mass of a simple box, I started shaping the massing of the Hotel. This process allowed to shape the volumetric spaces and to start experimenting in plan and section. It became an approach to design and discover a process for designing the shape and conceptual notion of the project. As for the landscape of the Hotel or the transitional space from a public domain to a commercial/residential, the same process was applied. Shapes and patterns were gathered from the process and it became a complex organizational system.

BROOKLYN’S FERRY TERMINAL

The Ferry Terminal is located in Brooklyn, New York. As New York is one of the largest cities in the country, the proposal was to think about a Ferry Terminal that not only served as a transportation system but that could also serve as a point for creating and adapting to the non-stop city. In this studio, the journey begin by visiting New York and extract as much information as possible in order to create a design that will adapt to the specific site context. The pier 00 current conditions were old and it became the perfect place to connect the Manhattan area with Brooklyn.

TEXAS TECH COA COMPETITION THE AIA ASSOCIATION IN TEXAS TECH ORGANIZED A COMPETITION FOR STUDENTS TO DEISGN A FRONT DESK. THE COMPETITION HAD A BUDGET AND REGULATIONS TO FOLLOW. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE BUDGET WAS A GENEROUS AMOUNT, WE DECIDED TO ALSO RE-DESIGN THE RECEPTION AREA OF OUR SCHOOL. THE PROPOSED IDEA IS INTENDED TO DESIGN AN AREA THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BROAD RANGE OF DISCIPLINES OFFERED WITHIN THE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE; IDENTIFYING AS A PRECEDENTIAL FORM OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OFFERED WITHIN THE COLLEGE WHICH ALLOWS TO FABRICATE BROAD IDEAS OF DESIGN. THE DESIGN ITSELF WAS THOUGHT UPON IN NOT ONLY CREATING A RECEPTION DESK, BUT ALLOWING A FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE THAT CAN BE RELOCATED IN THE CASE OF DIFFERENT EVENTS OR SITUATIONS. FROM THIS, IT WAS DECIDED TO FORM THE IDEA OF A SIMPLE, FUNCTIONAL, AND AESTHETIC DESK THAT WITH AN ADJACENT STRUCTURE WALL, IT WAS DECIDED TO INCLUDE A SLIDING/PARTITION WALL THAT WILL WRAP AROUND THE BRICK WALL TO AMPLIFY THE DESIGN. BOTH DESIGNS (DESK AND SLIDING WALL) WILL BECOME AESTHETIC AND FUNCTIONAL TO THE MANY USES OF THE COLLEGE, BECOMING MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND MOVEABLE IN ADDITION TO THE FIXED IDEA OF JUST CREATING A RECEPTION DESK.

AS WELL AS FROM THE DESK, THE IDEA OF THE PARTITION WALL PANELS ARE INTENDED TO BECOME ARCHITECTURALLY AESTHETIC AND FLEXIBLE FOR ANY DESIRED REPRESENTATIONAL USE; THEY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED STRUCTURALLY TO CLAMP FROM THE INNER SIDE OF THE PANELS AND BECOME STRUCTURALLY FIXED WHEN ADJUSTED TO THE BRICK WALL. WHEN TAKEN OFF FROM THE WALLS, THEY BECOME ADJUSTABLE TO CREATE SPACES OR BE MOVED TO OTHER AREAS.

INTERVENE_2014 THE ARCHITECTURE BUILDING AT TEXAS TECH HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY POPULATED DUE TO THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT EACH YEAR WANT TO JOIN THE ARCHITECTURE AND ART COLLEGES. HOWEVER, THE COURTYARD, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE BASEMENT LEVEL IS NOT BEEN USED EFFICIENTLY BY THE STUDENTS. INTERVENE WAS A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WHICH CALLED FOR AN APPARATUS THAT INDIVIDUALS COULD ENGAGE WITH AND EVENTUALLY ACTIVATE THE COURTYARD SPACE FOR FUTURE PROJECTS OR INSTALLATIONS. AS A GROUP OF FOUR STUDENTS, WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF HAVING A STRUCTURE THAT COULD BE SEEN FROM FAR AWAY AND CAUSE CURIOSITY BY PEOPLE THAT CIRCULATE AROUND THE CAMPUS. THIS WILL BRING THEM INTO THE COURTYARD SPACE AND MAKE THE PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN THE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE.

DESIGN INTENTION THE MAIN IDEA BEHIND THIS STRUCTURAL SYSTEM WAS TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE PEOPLE THAT WALK AROUND CAMPUS IN A REGULAR BASIS TO GO DOWN THE STAIRS AND EXPERIENCE THE STRUCTURE THAT HOVERED OVER THE STAIRS. NOT ONLY DID WE WANTED TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO WALK DOWN THE STAIRS, BUT WE WANTED TO SHOW THAT THERE IS A COURTYARD SPACE THAT CAN POTENTIALLY BE USE FOR STUDENT PROJECTS OR EVENTS.
