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 in the affordable housing to challenge the traditional boundary between a healthcare facility like a rehabilitation center and the city. Project

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.

The shape of the building lead a sequence for visitors to experiement this place. At the entrance, visiors are able to learn some historical backgrtound of local and the historical bath on site from the exhibition lobby before they get deeper into the place.
While experiencing this place chronologically, visitors can also enjoy the space vertically through the changes of the altitude. From pools being digged into the ground, to the pools that hanging up on the top end of the building, mimicing mountain climbers’ feeling.

The Timber materials are being used to represent how the woods are shaping the mountain ranges, which is the most common topology in this site.
The timber inserted with window to give a best view for the tilting rythmn of the wood in different areas of the building. The mounted timber transit from lower down to the ground to the higher up to the water, letting different space volume define the functions of the building. The density of the timber creates the privacy space for different parts of the building in needs.

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.
