Program | Affordable Housing & Rehabilitation Center

Location | Turtle Bay, Manhattan

By exploring the surroundings of the Turtle Bay area, the typology of the blocks and neighboring areas are inspiring me to use the language of New York City itself, to explain the building I designed here.

Providing people with a calming place for recovering. Combining the rehab programs with the residents to challenge the traditional boundary between a healthcare facility like a rehabilitation center and the city.

The provision of the Central Park is a sign of environmental injustice. Being proposed by wealthy European immigrants in 1800s, without considering the original Black/African American Community habitats at that location.

How to relocate our green space to make sure based on the vertical structures and the horizontal combination based on the morphological transfers from the inland grids to the waterfront should be reconsidered.

By configuring our site into three layers: History, memory, and energy. This project is more than monumenting existing 3 chimneys, but also to reaveling the historical past, hidden polluted soils as an urban designing catalyst, and regard future energy recylcing as the strategies.

This project is inspired by the f lowing shape of the river. It experiment withtimber’s shape to interact with human’s spaces and the location of the pools in between. Flowing Height is a place welcoming people who are recovering from diseases, travelers of the trails around, to any people who would like to be cured by the nature in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountians.

The shape of the building lead a sequence for visitor experiement this place. From the beginning, visitors are able to learn some historical background of local and the historical bath on site from the exhibition lobby before they really get into the space.

While experiencing this place chronologically, visitors can also enjoy the space vertically through the changes of the altitude. From ponds being digged into the gound, to the ponds that hanging up the top end of the building to enjoy the same feelings similar to mountain climbing.

Location | Fulton Market, Chicago

Located in an district which was previously a industrial area, this hybrid off ice is meant to bring new definitions to the Fulton Market.

Modular and fractal ideas are being used to enable the building to build def iciently. Modular spaces are also created to be used either as offices, labs, or recreational public spaces.

Canyon building shapes helps with wind circulations and improve building performance.

Inspired by the Central Beheer Off ice Building.

The modular system is being applied and the future development of the building.

Color coding is at the meantime being used to estimate the program areas.

With the context of vernacular architecture in the nearby seashore site, this renovation and extension of the airport helped us better understand the impact of climate on design.

Modular design strategy is being experimented here to adapt to the local needs, our team envolved with SD phase of this project and enjoy the process of the designs while conminicating ideas with clients.
