New York City Plan 20 percent of hotels in NYC -- 139 hotels -- are currently housing the homeless.
BUILDING CARE redifining homelessness
Columbia Univerisity GSAPP 2020Fall Advanced Studio - Networks of Care Instructor: Laura Kurgan Site: New York City, NY Individual Work The COVID infection rate and cases in California and New York are rapidly rising. For vulnerable population like homeless people, the pandemic exacerbated their existing conditions and reasons. We appreciate the idea of Ticktin that “Care is an understanding of the condition of life on earth as interdependent and relational, an approach that favors attunement over control.” These three cities are having high homeless rate for years. Some cities have introduced some unusual strategies to address homelessness during the Pandemic. For example, San Francisco are housing homeless people in empty hotels. Some think this is a strategy to keep them inside. New York City has also housing homeless people in empty hotel rooms as of May 2020.

Even though this is an innovative way of utilizing hotels and improving the living condition of homelessness, homeless people need far more than the city is providing. So what additional care do we need?

TOCHIGI CIVIC CENTER Renovated Tochigi Prefectural Hall
Columbia Univerisity GSAPP 2021Spring Advanced Studio - Open Work Instructor: Enriqur Walker Site: Tochigi, Japan Partners: Jishan Duan, Chen xi Dong The project was aimed to renovate the old Tochigi Prefectural Hall designed by Masato Otaka in 1969 and demolished in 2007. The old structures reflected Oatka’s idea of having traditional Japanese form with modern prefabricated concrete and were preserved intactly in the new building as a “heavy void.” We doubled the volume of the pour-in-place part of Otaka and made the solid volume light so that it becomes a ring surrounding the “heavy void” and floating above the site. The old prefectural hall was used to hold administrative offices and a conference hall. The new civic center is not only a market, but an urban connector, a cultural destination, and a gathering place for local people and visitors alike.

Instructor: Ignacio G. Galan Site: Shenzhen, China
The museum of encounters is located near the main entrance of the campus, adjacent to central axis of UCI. The extended progression to the main entrance of the gallery through a hourglass-like portal made by rammed earth growing from the ground. What you will see through the portal is a small California forest made with all different kinds of California woods. This allows visitors to shed the outside world before entering. Also create the resting space for the students and faculties. Within the museum, the dichotomy created by the thick-rammed earth walls for gallery space and glass wall by the walkway with the lightness heighten the view to the California redwoods beyond. Light aperture within the gallery space offer large curve reflectors wash the rammed earth wall with shadow-less light, providing the only light needed within the space throughout the daylight hours.
