Architecture through Narratives : Light, Texture, Sequence, and Program

Architecture is an object with a space, which is dictated by both experiential and atmospheric

qualities. I believe that by acknowledging the significance of spatial qualities and activities in the discipline of architecture, one can begin to understand how they form part of a larger experiences in creating and reimaging a sense and life of space. Reflecting my interest, the portfolio demonstrates how the unmeasurable

Yuán [Urban Garden] : Response to the Xiong’s Development Plan

Elevation

“Response to the Xiong’s Development Plan”

Partner : Jose Sanchez Studio : ARC 409, Professor Fei Wang Project Type : Material Research Facility + Public Space Y u á n

Location : Xiong’an, China

Introduction

The project looks at traditional Chinese courtyard houses — common to the Xiong’an — as an adaptive response to its expected development. By inverting the organizational strategy of the Siheyuan homes, a programmatic core is contained within an envelope of green-scape to invite the public into the building. Housed exclusively in the structural remains of the existing building, this perimeter garden serves as a cultural amenity to symbolically represent the preservation of the city’s historic fabric.

The programmatic mass is constructed with a rammed earth, providing a distinct formal, spatial, and structural language sourced from local techniques. In its entirety, the project performs environmentally by completing a thermal mass heating cycle and various passive ventilation effects to regulate interior comfort. By combining distinct and interdependent architectural systems, this project satisfies the rising developmental concerns while presenting itself as a potent cultural and contextual intervention.

Built in Weather : Architecture and Landscape Forces

Point I_Plan

“Light, Wind, and Water”

Weather

Partner : N/A Studio : ARC 505 Project Type : Public Weather Station

Built

Location : Jeju, South Korea

Introduction

To go beyond extracting an ideal climates from a site analysis, the thesis aims to examine architecture’s spectrum as a fixed entity within its context through visualization of its changing landscape qualities. Imagining architecture as a weather station, that can measure, collect, and amplify its ephemeral conditions, the thesis explores an ever-changing space that its essence cannot be captured at one moment. Jeju island was chosen as the site due to its unique landscape forces, regarding water and wind forces.

The site, Gujwa breakwater complex, has even more distinct micro site conditions. As visualizing the landscape context, the analysis demonstrates how existing breakwater structures draws boundaries in the landscape. The thesis believes that pushing the spectrum of architecture’s association with static qualities from hermetically sealed enveloped can raise awareness of the flexibilities and changeability within architecture as a built form in its ephemeral landscape.

Jeju

Island

The site is located in Jeju island, the south part of Korea. The island has wellranged season. Specifically, at the site, a strong wind blows from the northwest, averaging about 5.5 m/s. The tide fluctuates about 8 to 11 ft within a day throughout the moon cycles. Living with the extreme weather condition, the locals developed strategies with local material, a basalt rock, to resist, contain, and amplify the environment. The porous basalt rock redistributes the wind forces to draw boundaries. Tidal Diagram of Jeju

S i t e Map _ Context

The site, Gujwa complex, has distinct micro climates within. The map represents weather terrain within the complex. Along the different infrastructure, including breakwater, port, and windmill, temperature ranges from 14 to 19 Â°C while wind-speed changes from 2 to 20 mph. (The values were measure at AM low tide at waning moon)

The site, Gujwa complex, has varying ground typology. The site has soft and hard ground, providing changing elevations. The infrastructure, such as a breakwater, port, and windmill, interact with water and wind in its own way. The site is, therefore, chosen to investigate varying weathering effects.

Design interventions that measure, display, and amplify the landscape forces are placed along 4 points. Each intervention aims to incorporate its program as an experiential weather station. For example, point I, a pathway to windmill, provides an lounge space for a pool, that spatial qualities keep changing, to push the boundary between landscape and architecture as an entry space.

Site specific conditions, materials, and its effects are then considered in the design interventions to maximize the qualities of landscape forces within the site. Basalt rock is one of the most important landscape and architecture material in Jeju island. Understanding the assembly and construction of the rock were crucial in design process.

Site Map

Design prototype, using site-specific materials, a basalt rock, proposes how an architecture as a fixed entity provide and interact with ever changing space. Different scales of opening and materials are thought through to reflect and amplify weathering forces as shown.

Not only displaying and visualizing the weather forces, programs of the prototype is designed to host varying experiences with the changes of the landscape forces. The light, wind, and water are not just a force to protect and shelter from. By amplifying the forces into experiences with a space, the project believes that the spectrum of architecture as a fixed form is pushed.

“The Plan is the Generator”

Partner : Renatta Ramella, Benedykt Ezlakowski Studio : ARC 408, Professor Kyle Miller R e m i n d e r

Project Type : Research

Location : N/A

Introduction

Attempting to test Corbusier’s third reminder, the plan is the generator, the project explores possibilities of the generation of mass and the articulation of surface by plan. A plan is often used in one plane and one direction. Vertical stacking of floor plates dictates most of cities’ skyline. Even more horizontal projects are mostly an extrusion of a single picture plane. The project aims to step away from these typical methods by extruding plan in more than one plane and direction.

The Project then explores added layers of surface articulation, testing whether the surface element would reinforce the mass or operate separately from it. However, Corbusier’s claim that “the plan is the generator,” merely serves as a jumping point, as the forms of the projects are not solely dictated by any literal plan information. Abstraction, addition, and subtraction of the plan information was also done to generate specific formal and spatial moment in the project.

Studio : Professor Ziad Jamaleddine

the

“Abandoned Mosques and New Threat”

Project Type : Mosque + Marine Research Center

Partner : Helena Ramos

De-fencing

Location : Djerba, Tunis

Introduction

The project looks at the historical defensive roles of the coastal mosques and fortress / Madrasa mosques of the Island of Djerba, and proposes new defensive properties for those deserted structures in the face of rising water threat to the Island. Investigating the process of flood line, the project aims to encourage social and environmental structure of the island to adapt to the new site condition through strategies of land-forming at neighboring scale over time.

Emphasis on the timeline of the environment, construction, and program is crucial. The climate change is based on NASA’s projection at the moderate risk. The process of excavation, refiling, re-planting, and new construction is planned to respond to the gradual climate change threat. The project proposes strategies of land-forming at needing scales to cope with the new threat, both preserving and encouraging the existing and new community.

Defense System There are about 300 mosques (5 types) in Djerba. Among them, the coastal and fortress mosques formed two belts to inform and protect the outside threat.

For the coastal mosque, such as sidi jmur, the intervention starts from moving the site inland for new construction, coping with the flooding timeline. The duration and method of the land-forming intervention follows the flood line. To be specific, once the site is chosen, excavation of adjacent ground and tree happens to prepare for new landscape. Using trees, the frame of mound is fixed. The tree trunk serves to firm the new landscape. Limestone from the neighboring coastal mosques are brought to put wall for needing programs. The key is to re-shape the landscape using neighboring both landscape and architectural materials.

Boundary : An Object to Ground

Object Analysis

“An Object to Ground”

Partner : Spencer Gafa ( for concept study only ) Studio : ARC 207, Professor Molly Hunker B o u n d a r y

Project Type : Youth Hostel + Green House

Location : State Fair, Syracuse

Introduction

From the analysis of a public umbrella, this project explores how an object’s boundary conditions and atmosphere can define a spaces and activities. The research suggests a boundary spectrum as a tool to further understand an object’s boundary. The spectrum goes from implied to permeable to literal boundary. In a low resolution of boundary, the space division is blurred, allowing more free and active movement. In other hand, where high resolution of boundary is, the space division is strong.

Transitioning the analysis of boundary to the actual design of buildings and landscape, the project is developed through the deploying different boundary spectrum zones. Architecture and landscape objects are arranged in order to control the perception of people approaching the site and their flow of movement once they arrive. For example, youth hostel units are hidden by upward mounds and trees to give more privacy. Greenhouse is on a flat grass to be visually and physically exposed to invite the public.

“Light and Space”

Project Type : Outdoor Museum Pavillion

T h e

Location : Syracuse, NY

Introduction

As Juhani Pallasmaa expressed in Sensory Reading in Architecture, “[It is the] moment where vision is subdued and less clear, allowing a space for the imagination to engage”. Lights and shadows are crucial elements in a space because they change and activate the same space in various ways. This short term project explores how lighting can define a space’s function and qualities in a simple manner. Allowing natural light for the exhibitions within a structure grid expect to provide dynamic experiences.

In terms of structure, the organizational grid is directly translated into the waffle slab, in which the spacing between the beams decrease as you go further into the edges. This different spacing allowed puncture of the ceiling to create skylights in very specific places to emphasize the top hierarchical space inside the gallery and the monumentality of the structure. The biggest skylights are featured at the center of the structure, illuminating the central display space.

“Spatializing Surfaces”

Partner : Alex Allen (for concept study) Studio : ARC 307, Professor Britt Eversole

D y n a m i c

Project Type : Co-work + Co-living Space

Location : Downtown Syracuse, NY

Introduction

In a space, the height, curves, and porosity of a surface dictates people’s experiences within. It creates intimacy to openness, coziness to working environment, and unification to division. The project explores how then articulation of surfaces can shape programs and atmosphere within. The articulation is done through sectional to challenge planar experience and question how people move through spaces every 5 fts or 10 fts. Thinking through sectionally allows the project to incorporate the user’s personal interaction with surface with smaller and gradual increments of changes.

The articulations of the surfaces are controlled by the role and function of a program. For example, a work space is defined by more open and continuous surface while a residential unit is defined by more orthogonal and cellularized surface. Curves and niches of the surfaces are used to create more personal and intimate zones within the programs. The degrees of the articulation are then determined by the economic value. For the residential spaces, more expensive units are less orthogonal and cellularized to provide bigger and more free spaces.
