INTRO

While growing up in Southern California, I have spent countless hours commuting to and from both work and school by an automatic car. This experience of commuting within an intimate space interests me because even though my body is not directly involved with the motion of the car, there are still so many outside environmental factors that influence my sense of movements, energy, and forces. However, this realization was hard to grasp at first because all the vehicles around me were traveling at a relatively similar rate of speed. As a result, my perception of motion was lost because I became part of that movement. What interests me is that I was not aware of this phenomenon until I stopped and noticed the movement contrast to the surrounding environment. This realization forced me to further pursue a study on motion.

Studying motion has helped me realize that the beauty of space is captured when the perception of movement occurs. Film is one particular form of media that highlights this effect and impacts my visual awareness. Made up of a series of individual images and frames, film as a whole gives the viewer the illusion that motion is occurring as thousands of images are rapidly translated into multiple shots of scenes. However, the viewer cannot see the transition between the frames due to the persistent visual effect in which the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the sources have been removed. As a result, the picture or photograph conveys the movement and the possible outcome of the object’s next action. Observing this captured moment in time forces me to imagine and collage the past and future in a different perspective. It forces me to create a mental map of time progression.

Using animation as a drawing technique really helped me to better understand and analyze this different sequences and stages of motion. It not only became a supplemental tool to analyze and to experiment various outcomes of the projects but it also introduced me to a new paradigm of ideas. Particularly, the diagrams of animation strip helped me to observe the motion of an object in that specific time frame. The ability to capture the information into a single image or a drawing has helped me to connect the dialogue between the cause and effect of a system. This concept of animation has certainly had a strong influence on my past research projects. The elastic structures that I have developed in my urban housing projects were an example of a hybrid structural system that provides alternate solutions to San Francisco’s earthquakes. In my thesis project, Nomadic City, animation was used to create multiples of parametric modules based on different surface pattering organizations. As a result, this dynamic of repetition in form and motion suggested that new development of structural framework evolves endlessly. This project had developed as diverse and dynamic mixtures of programs to intervene in a sprawl Los Angeles River. The parametric process with constraints of the urban framework helped me to test out thousands of different program possibilities. My understanding of animation was also further developed to create a conceptual model based on the form and function of a flower, and this conceptual model was later developed as a skin system for the project. Animating digitally and building the conceptual model physically helped me to study the skin system of a building where the variations of apertures were tested and adjusted to meet criteria of external environmental conditions.

Enigmatic Theaters Los Angeles, California

01

Professors Marcelo Spina, Georgina Huljich, Nathan Hume Advanced Design Studio: 2013 Aug - 2013 Dec The locations of three theaters are the result of threeprimitive geometries projected from the central axis that have been rotated into three different axis. These three geometries serve as main a framework for three different kinds of theater programs.

The initial primitive geometries where cones and a cube but have been modified into more obscure geometry to redefine saddle surfaces in between and create a profile surface for the main theater space. By locating theses three theaters into three different corners create central circulation for the public and create another opportunity to augment secondary and tertiary programs to grow out from the atrium.

Epidermal Monoliths The surface of the monolith is treated as an autonomous system and building as an object. The surface of the monolith is characteristically independent that the body is separated from shell like skin. As Machado describes it, “the outer shell form betrays faintly the contours of the instrument while negotiating the regularity of its geometry with subtle cruves, depressions, and protuberances.” And as Paul Virilio’s notes from “Bunker Archeology,” While most buildings are embanked in the terrain by their foundations, the casemate is devoid of any, aside from its center of gravity, which explains its possibility for limited movement when the surrounding ground undergoes the impact of projectiles.

7

Skin Texture Just like an instrumental case where it includes a poche layer of soft material to mediate between its generic geometry and the particular contours of the instruments inside, there are a cavity between the object and the skins of a building. The Openings are hybrid apertures of small openings that create moirĂŠ and noir effect. The patterns are created by taking the contour lines from the outline of primitive geometries where the contour lines form about 6 inches to 1 foot extruded planes. Various different gradients are emphasized by the overlapping of these contour lines to create moirĂŠ and noir effect. There are no direct visual to the transparent openings in a relation to interiors.

Art District Amsterdam, Netherlands Professors: Isaac Kalisvaart (MAB Developer), Alex Garvin, Kevin Gray Bass Studio: 2013 Jan - 2011 May

The master planning project is located in a historical Navy yard in Amsterdam. The site has a condition of being isolated due to privacy, military concern for the Netherlands’ government.

For the proposal, one of the main concerns was to maintain this isolation by creating an Art community. It is a semipublic community where the residents will have an access to private galleries for various events. There are sculpture gardens in between the housing apartments to activate social interactions within the community. During the course, various housing typologies were introduced to study and analyze current Amsterdam urban housing units versus creating new typologies to create more intimate, small green spaces inbetween buildings. The site will be mostly developed by private developers who will maintain the continuity of the language within the community but introduce different qualities of spaces within the community. It is a project that emphasizes new ways of looking at housing units with the relation to the public roads in a new territory. Somehow the project emphasis is on isolation and creation of new community within isolated site.

Convention Center City Boston Bay, Boston, Massachusetts Professors Fred Koetter, Ed Mitchell, Aniket Shahane Collaboration with Matt Raugh Post Professional Studio: 2012 Aug - 2012 Dec

The existing character of South Boston is defined by large buildings and spaces resulting from the functional requirements of the expanding convention center district and transportation systems that anchor the site, and we believe that the massive scale and impact of these parking lots, highways, train lines, convention centers, factories, and bodies of water should inform its future development. Specifically, we see six key locations: The Seaport World Trade Center, the highway interchange immediately to the south, the Convention Center, the Gillette building, and the Fort Point channel. Our proposal further defines these monumental voids, leveraging South Boston’s economic power to create equally powerful urban spaces in a new landscape for the city.

As visitors arrive by rail, they are welcomed to the city by a large terminal where walking straight leads to downtown, and walking right leads you to the east and the south boston convention center district.

The enormous loggia leads directly to the 1000’X600’ channel courtyard. The scale of this space expresses the growing convention districts’ (the city’s) values of commerce and industry (on a global stage), becoming a contemporary interpretation of the imperial city square found in places such as Isfahan, Iran, or the Columbian Exposition of Chicago. However, contrary to these examples, the architecture becomes a restrained background element, serving only to define the monumental void, the (moment of rest within the urban fabric). From this void, the visitor is free to move on to his destination, whether it is one of the hotel rooms that frames this plaza or on to one of the other convention center voids. (or any other destination that south boston may attract.

Diagrams This new city of voids is both functional and ambiguous, to be interpreted and used by a wide audience of both international and local users. Each with a different character, they form a basic diagram/structure for future development of the site.

By addressing South Boston’s large scale buildings and infrastructures with an equally massive approach, our proposal creates for the entire site a masterplan which acknowledges and develops the character of this site, a unique kind of void city that is part of the heterogeneous fabric that makes Boston.

47

The Site The site around South Station is the key public space within this system of voids. Extending existing rail lines directly into the eastern portion of our courtyard, we create a new entrance for South Boston for visitors to the city by long distance rail. Additionally, the courtyard’s location spanning the Fort Point Channel opens new pedestrian connections from the Chinatown and Leather District, as well as accommodates travelers and local commuters from the South Station Bus Terminal, Subway station, and the I-90 and I-93 interchange.

This entrance courtyard’s location at the terminus of the fort Point channel also allows the introduction of water, creating a space that is activated based on differing environmental or temporal conditions. Four different elevations in our plaza’s ground surface allow a 10’ tidal fluctuation to let differing levels of water to fill the center. Much like the changing character of Venice’s flooded Piazza San Marco, these periodic floods generate varying levels of activity and density around the periphery based on what time they occur. The water creates temporary uses such as additional convention space when trade shows such as the New England Boat Show are in town, or in the summer filtered pools can be used for wading and cooling off. At times, the entire plaza floods, forcing the masses of commuters at rush hour to throng the arcades at the edge of the courtyard, while at other times at night the space is entirely empty, left to be crossed by the solitary figure.

The Seaport World Trade Center is a convention center complex which contains 118,000 sf of exhibition space with the possibility of accommodating 3500 guests at one time.

The complex has expanded an associated hotel immediately to the south across Seaport Boulevard with easy access to the world trade center tee station, so we propose a second void at this location composed of support functions for the convention center. The third void we consider to be the existing Boston convention and exhibition center, the largest Convention center in the Northeast bringing over 1.6 million attendees to the city annually. Directly to the south is a proposed extension to the convention center which will nearly double its current size. The fifth void in our system is completed by the back of the Gillette factory, and it creates a more private screened planted courtyard. The sixth void is located at the terminal point of the channel where an older train infrastructure creates an accidental public space.

Nomadic City Los Angeles River, Downtown Los Angeles Professor Stephen Phillips Studio: 2010 Sep - 2011 Jun

Nomadic City is my research project to find out how spaces can be generated and also meet programmatic, circulatory, structural, and service requirements. As a result, the patterning system is introduced as a hybrid version of different methods of folded plates that leads into a complex form. This also introduces dynamic - variety to the space. Secondly, kinetic structures are integrated based on my animation experiments.

This allows the patterning plates to react and respond to the surrounding environment. Thus the overall system is elastic. As a site placement, this small city can walk along the Los Angeles river, as the site never becomes a permanent place. Lastly, investigations on today’s society shows that digital media is always linked to people’s daily lives. The spaces are organized so that the theaters (dependent) are concentrated in the center of the overall layout and the housing and other commercial units (independent) are organized on the outside of the form to be easily manipulated.

Infrastructural City Infrastructural City Founded in 1850, Los Angeles is the epitome of the modern city, a planned metropolis supported by infrastructure. Whereas New York’s grid is for pedestrians and horses, Los Angeles is laid out according to the progressive ideals of the decongested metropolis, planned for the efficient movement of trolleys cars and, later, automobiles.

If the West was dominated by the theology of infrastructure, Los Angeles was its Rome. Cobbled together out of swamp floodplain, desert, and mountains, short of water and dependent on far-away resources to survive, Los Angeles exists by grace of infrastructure, a life-support system that has transformed this wasteland into the second largest metropolis in the country. Historically, Los Angeles’s rapid growth has led to an exacerbated rate of failure. At the turn of the century, the city was running out of water. In the 1920s, downtown was jammed to a degree unimaginable today. By the 1950s the city’s air pollution was probably the worst in the world. What makes our moment distinct is that the remedy of creating a new infrastructure or using new technologies to surmount breakdown is no longer an option.

Also Los Angeles is noted for its architecture, that architecture is almost exclusively single-family homes.

Los Angeles’s skyscrapers are generic its downtown void of any interest except for the fact that it is there. Downtown’s recent redevelopment serves only to make it more generic: run-down buildings remodeled into run-of-the-mill lofts.

Recent attempts to give the city the illusion of a civic architecture also ring hollow.

“The Megastructure is a large frame in which all the function of a city or part of a city are housed...In a sense it is a man-made feature of the landscape. It is like the great hill on which Italian towns were built.”

Maki Mega Structures In the 1960’s for a lot of architects and urban designers, megastructures were the answer to the question left unanswered by the functionalist, modernist city: how to adapt a building (or a city) to unpredictable growth and change. In a way megastructures were the first examples of time-based urbanism. Megastructures were buildings at the scale of a city. In 1964 the Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki defined a megastructure as ‘a large frame in which all the functions of a city or part of a city are housed. It has been made possible by present day technology. In a sense it is a man-made feature of the landscape. the Platonic solids. Four-dimensional “polyhedroids” such as tesseract, the four dimensinoal extrapolation of the cube, could be described mathematically and geometrically, but they could not be built or seen.

Theo Jansen’s Models Theo Jansen, a kinetic sculptor was one of the inspiration for this project. Construction of intricate assemblages of piping, wood, and wing-like sails not only gave result of walking creature, but the process and the delicacy of the construction inspired me to observe the intricate pattern of skeleton assemblage. Using low cost materials to produce such a result of walking mechanism gave life to the notion of kinetic sculpture.

Folded Plates Folded plates distribute loads along the surfaces of a plate and along the seams between the folds, across three dimensions, producing structures composed of surface and linear elements.

Folded plates- When the surface is folded, increasing the depth of each of the folds increases their overall resistance, enabling the surface of the plate to function as a beam.

Folded plate and truss folded plates- Increasing the depth of their folds similarly increases resistance to bending moments, with the inside of the plate’s section cross-braced by a threedimensional truss. Both subsystems can produce a gradually changing section that distributes loads in a way which is similar to structural aternaries, arches or domes.

Kinetic Skin Response The integrated system of aperature technique of camera was used to engender the openings of skin facade. The openings varies from the amount of sun lights you need for theinterior.

The aperature of the openings changes according to sun angles. The openings are governed by the structures that are integrated behind the facade. It is used as differnt variation through out the building system. In here the structures are not only used to support the buildings but are integrated together with the skin to response to the outside environment.

Several expeiments have been done to have the skin integrated with the floor, and overall building system.

Patterning System My precedent study of mega structures help me to understand the different typology to organize my overall program. System that is compromised of different kind of programs, site issues, and how it’s structured etc. I developed pattern system where each pattern responds to a specific program requirement and transform based on the needs. The process I used was addition patterning system rather than sculpting the mass of a volume.

Such an affect gives dynamic resolution to each cross section space but also provides continuity throughout linear layout.

Physical Models I. The overall structures are based on kinetic structures that can be rotated and fluctuate by the internal and external environment.

II. The overall linear structures are based on a plug-in system, where each modules (pattern system)could be added and subtracted on the basis of program requirement.

Animation Experiments Throughout the study of animation, I was experimenting to find out the response of an object. Whether it was a study of skin system or an object mutating, clustering to create a different form, it all started by observing the pattern of the animation. The animation not only helped me to understand the process and progress between the beginning and the ending of the kinetic movement of an object but also the integration between those two stages. The drawings of the animation scroll helped me to understand the frozen moment of that specific object when it was continuously evolving to the next stage. In my Parametric Truss animation, I used grasshopper to observe how series of simple lines can translated into a structure system by adding thickness to x,y,z directions. In my Catastrophic Flower experiment, although my physical model did not exactly replicate the mechanical movement from the digital model, it suggested another possibility for the object to move in a different coordinate.

Also the physical model helped me to understand how gravity will play in role to see how it will be structured. I used both Maya and Rhino program to model and animate this study digitally.

Digtial Diagrams/ Model I have created different versions of the flower skin relation to the structure in the back to create different movement.

Diagrams from the animation of flower kinetic structures.The openings of the surfaces react to the outside environment and translates into the structure components that correspondent to the need.

Physical Concept Model I have used series of rubber band, bass wood sticks and straws to move this flower like opening where it was folding and unfolding like an umbrella. I have started to modulate series of this prototype to create different pattern. During this process some of the openings were larger than the another. Without knowing exactly what this was going to be, it became a solar panel skin system where it would fold in an out to capture the sunlight and provide energy. It is the beginning stage of the modular units that to be created.

Pipe Organ Sanctuary Venice, California Professor Thomas Fowler Studio: 2009 May - 2010 May Industrial technology has left the footprints of the machine parts that created society to engage in the system of mass production, thus making the lives of people not only fast paced, but also has introduced to new ideas of perceiving light and space. The space experience in pipe organ sanctuary allows people to ponder and meditate the mystical quality of light energy before they enter the main worship space.

Site: The site is located in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, right now as an empty parking lot. The site becomes the focal point of diversity, where people share multi cultural views with no real boundary of ethnicity and it is also a place where multiple religious viewpoints are shared. The way my programs is oriented on the site is the result of having a sun shaded area mimic the circulation of one way street. The road that leads to the ocean also leads people into my main sanctuary space.

83

85

Program: The program focuses on the worship space where people come in and out to pray, and meditate. Also two secondary programs, the education and fellowship areas engender another small community that allows people to engage in various activities and share information. Since I thought the worship space was so powerful in terms of spirituality, I left it as a void so there would be no interruption of the light energy that generates this space. The void was created by the outcomes of both the education and fellowship spaces crossing each other. The void also becomes a worship space that is directly connected to the outdoor area so people could access in anytime they want 24 hours a day.

Light Energy

Ligt Space Modulator by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1922-193 ) 120 x 120 cm in size.

Inhabitable Light Space Machine Design Process Sequence

My initial study of kinetic power of Moholy-Nagy’s Light Space Modulator—a mechanically driven rotating kaleidoscope projecting ever-changing patterns of light, shadow, and color allows building inhabitance to observe how light will create space in my project. My process starts off by building a light machine that was built by finding the left over parts from industrial machines. My idea was to observe and capture the projection of light images that are refracted by the fan. The main idea was to spin the fan by rotating the gear manually.

It was interesting to record the phenomenon of using one handle to rotate multiples of gears to let the fan spin. From the images

and the movie clips that I got off the light machine while moving, there were translated into series of images and diagrams. From these diagrams I started to understand the hidden relationship among forms and how these constructive elements were governed by hidden forces. Diagrams became the strong evidence for capturing these light energies. Then these light energies were translated as a wireframes for my digital and spatial manipulation devices.

This was the foundation for developing my overall architectural vocabulary. Those wireframes eventually became the structures for my space. I was letting it expose so the people can see, feel and understand how these hidden forces of light energies would be reflected in reality of my space.

Structural System: I am using steel tension cables to work with my overall steel structure. My steel structure is categorized into three components to balance out my space: The first my primary structure consists of using steel bars at the point where all the tension cables are coming down. The secondary structure consists of tension cables. The third structure consists of using part of my pipe organ system with an infinite numbers of strings and tuning wires that are displayed among the structural system which not only makes the pipe organ to work but it also vibrates and undulates the entire building, allowing people to see and feel the operation of the pipe organ.

In this process, dynamism is embedded in my built work from the beginning, which affords new ways to conceptualize spatial and material building forms.

I have Generated an elastic prototype structure that reconsidered San Francisco’s typical housing and rear yard open space. This design allowed for housing units to be constructed side-by-side to enhance spaces between row houses and provide extensive windows adjacent to garden lots. The public could use pathways between housing where desired, enabling open space and passage between city lots that could be extended up and onto public space on the roofs.

New Library for The Information Age Dallas / Fortworth Airport, Texas Professor Eric Nulman Studio: 2008 Sep - 2010 Dec

A new library for the information age is the result of understanding the relationship between globalization and traditional libraries. The act of globalization is the result of internet access to gain maximum information within short amount of time in any places. As to respond to such a fast paced society, where peoples’ conception of understanding service and time are more valuable than having physical products, my library becomes like a “fast food� place where people are to just grab their knowledge and information through this modular oriented digital library and travel to their destination. My digital library focuses on the system where physical books are strictly limited, but rather the books are stored in digital format where they are contributed through different link system.

Panton Furniture Showroom Copenhagen, Denmark Professor Marc Jay Studio: 2009 Jan - 2009 March

Inspired by Verner Panton’s exploration of color and forms in furniture to link the relationship between human body and space, the goal of this infill furniture showroom is to let people experience that sense of space while they are exhibiting various furniture. The site is located in Frederiksberggade, lot 38 as a perpendicular to Vester Voldgade, one of the major street in Copenhagen. The site is also known as Stroget where it contains the history of being one of the first pedestrian streets since 1962. The transparent double glass façade emphasize the overall of this Panton-derived form and color to attract many tourists and locals around the area.

Inside the furniture store, bright colors of the furniture were emphasized to define the form of the space. The void is used as an atrium. The main staircase that links all the floors together also becomes a passage to view the entire furniture in one place.

To emphasize the form of the interior space, simple glasses were used as a cladding detail.

Joints and details were emphasized in order to maximize the clarity and transparency of the facade image.

URBAN GARDEN EXPO Copenhagen, Denmark Professor Marc Jay Studio: 2009 Sep - 2009 Oct

My first idea originated with my observation how some Danes living in Copenhagen had their own private gardens right outside of Copenhagen to plant their favorite crops. So I wanted to create a garden where people don’t have to drive outside of the Copenhagen but it will be within the main city. The site is located in Norre Voldgade, right next to Orstedparken. It is a temporary pavilion where people around the world have a chance to observe how the urban garden will affect the community and how it will also create another public space for major events underneath the garden. There are many advantages for having this garden: it will provide more greens, the space underneath this garden will serve as a public space for a gallerry, cafe, and a plaza, and it will provide opportunities for people who has limited space in their flats to plant their own crops within the walking distance.

127

129

Each 3x3x3 triangle base is designed to serve as a standard garden lot for people to plant their own crops. Each farmer will have three of this 3x3x3 lots as the person will climb one of the ladder in the center of these gardens. However the base is raised 4m above

Winter Planting Strategy During the cold season each lot will be capsulted with ETFE to keep the heat and allow much sunlight possible

Summer Planting Strategy During the hot season capsules will be opened to allow natural ventilation and create shading for people underneath the capsule

Steel hinge allows to open 180 degree

ETFE membrane Wood panels

Planting Strategy There will be a moveable ladder crane for farmers to palnt their crops above 4m height

Water Preservation The inverse pyrmid shape allows the water to collect in one focal point and carry throughout the underground to be restored and spread throughout other dry season.

There is a main public circulation passage where it serves as a “bridge� to link between the Norre Voldgade and the Orstedparken and people to see these gardnes. The materials of making this modular system will cost both new materials (ETFE) and wood panels as it is a recycling material and easy to assemble and disassemble at the end.

Digital Fabrication Class Yale School of Architecture Professor John Eberhart Collaboration with Matt Raugh Digital Fabrication Class: 2012 Aug - 2012 Dec

The digital fabrication class involved not only using the advanced tools to produce the projects but it also suggests new ways of design method. The class consists of three assignments, which could relate to each other in terms of design process. The first assignment was using a folding technique to create various forms and patterns. Various folds and cuts were made through laser cutter to create the effect. Second assignment was mainly involved in using the 7-axi robot, Kuka to mill the foam on all x,y,z coordinates. The process mainly involved with converting files from Rhino to Power Mill and to DOS operation program. The last assignment involved both milling and plastic forming. The main idea was to mass produce the same object in a short amount of time within the limited budget. At the end, the product involved with the lightings and constructability of translucent panels. The plastic molded panels have high contrast to the existing concrete texture, where the idea of elastic and more rigid materials comes into the overall composition.

Robotic Process step 1 The first step of using the robot involved laying out the foam in a flat surface and secures the base.

Robotic Process step 2 Rough stage and finer stage had to go through in order to mill it more accurately.

Robotic Process step 3 In order to mill on the both sides of the surface, the new frame was built so it could stand vertically.

Robotic Process step 4 The finished mill piece was to be smoothed out manually.

Design Reconnaissance Transparencies Yale School of Architecture Professor Mark Foster Gage Collaboration with Yasemin Tarhan Post Professional Studio: 2012 Aug - 2012 Dec

This purpose of this seminar is to bring in technical knowledge and aesthetic attitudes from different disciplines into architecture.

Our study explores the notion of embedded transparencies as exemplified by the work of the artist Tokujin and tries to create environments that reflect his aesthetic.

Our exploration of transparent materials began by using both digital and physical media. At first, we experimented with intersecting different materials and forms in Maxwell to catalogue the range of possibilities. With the help of photo realistic renderings, we tested how a variety of transparent and translucent materials such as antiglare glass, blue gem, rippled glass, acrylic, multiefrigent, bubbled clear plastic and so on interact with one another. We divided our formal strategy into four categories: embedded rectilinear, intersecting rectilinear, embedded soft, intersecting soft.

At the end of this exploration, we moved away from combining different materials to using a single material to create some of these effects in physical form. We were interested in how the light gets reflected and refracted within the object to not only make it blend with the surrounding environment but also to portray depth within the 2-D surface of the object. For our first physical prototypes, we tried carving out voids and embedding curvilinear forms in a basic rectilinear form. The curvilinear forms were computer generated and then translated into a point system that was then laser cut onto an acrylic sheet.

Process The process involved from laser cutting the acrylic sheets to polishing and gluing the layers together.

149

As our final product, we fabricated a 1’ x 1’ x 1.5”acrylic brick made up of stacked sheets that has embedded curvilinear forms in it. Each layer has a pattern of lasercut dots that was computed in Rhino to mimic the aesthetic of a floating fabric.

These forms both hide and reveal what’s behind the surface, depending on the angle of vision. The individual bricks can be assembled in any pattern to form a wall, stairs, tables, or floors. They can also be translated into a larger scale to create spaces that one can move through.

USITT Competition Dallas / Fortworth Airport, Texas Collaboration with Yale School of Drama Students Competition: 2014 March

The Team Skene+Theatron is committed to fostering an enhanced theatre culture in New Haven, Connecticut. Current institutions in the immediate surrounding include the School of Drama and the Repertory Theatre Company but they lack the supporting facilities required for the students and professionals to unleash their creativity and potential. For our proposal, the collaborative team consisting of students from the School of Drama and the School of Architecture, had gathered to discuss how the 567-seat multi-purpose theatre at the heart of downtown New Haven could become a cultural landmark for a city that would cater for various scales of productions through the adaptation of a multi-use stage.

The scheme proposes a redevelopment of a 46,000 square feet rectangular lot bounded by George Street to the south, College Street to the east, and Crown Street to the north. The team agreed that the theatre should be located at the center of the lot in order to leave sufficient room for trucks to enter from College Street and unload equipment to the southern opening and to provide green open space at the north end that leads to the main entry of the building. The design concept for the new theatre is based on the notion of hide and reveal. A rigid external box embraces the theatre within, and this box is sliced into strips with linear intervals at minimum widths to hide and reveal the theatre according to the angle of view, much like the theatrical performance where house curtain is used to hide and reveal the spectacle.

The Hague U.S Embassy The Hague, Netherlands Moore Ruble Yudell Architects & Planners Work: 2011 Sep - 2012 July

As a designer in the IDIQ team for U.S. Embassy at The Hague, my task mainly involved with producing construction documents.

From creating mock up sets to constantly communicate with the contractors to develop the drawings. I was involved in the project to execute exterior facades, site plan, mechanical and lighting plans, construction details.

Project description from Moore Ruble Yudell website: The new U.S. Embassy at The Hague embraces its new rural setting by blending in with its surroundings; pleasing the local residents and city authorities, while meeting the programming requirements of the client.

A site was chosen outside the city in a rural district of large, privately owned country estates between the cities of The Hague and Wassenaar. The site itself has been a series of athletic fields for 50 years after it was bombed by the Allies in late 1945. It is surrounded by the country’s water canal system that helps to maintain over 40 percent of land area that would otherwise be underwater.

The main office building is maximized to its allowable zoning envelope and then a series of “pavilions” are carved out of the masses to house different parts of the program. The pavilions are connected together by circulation spaces and these wrap around a central service core. The public spaces of the building – the lobby, café and a communicating grand stair between the ground and first floors are all located to be visible from the approach and entrance to the building.

Red brick is the main material and various patterns have been developed to help discern the hierarchy of the various buildings on the site with the office building becoming the most important.

Los Angeles Valley College Performing Arts Center 5800 Fulton Avenue, Valley Glen Steven Ehrlich Architects Internship 2009 May - 2010 May

I was in charge of Building physcial models, digital renderings, worked on Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and site analysis. In charge of a model shop, material library, meeting with sales representatives. Projects include: Los Angeles Valley College Performing Arts Cetner, LAUSD Swimming Pool, Abjua Gate Competition in Nigeria, UC Irvine Performing Arts Center. I have built study models to help further study and visualize the space three dimensionally. The Los Angeles Valley College Performing Art Center encompasses three major theaters. Utilizing Revit, we were able to visualize, measure and try out different alternatives to materials in the building. I also drafted and worked in Revit to build digital models, develop quick sketch renderings, as well as drafting, for the Schematic and Design Development packages.

During my internship at Steven Ehrlich Architects, I have built study models to help further study and visualize the space three dimensionally. The Los Angeles Valley College Performing Art Center encompasses three major theaters. Utilizing Revit, we were able to visualize, measure and try out different alternatives to materials in the building. I also drafted and worked in Revit to build digital models, develop quick sketch renderings, as well as drafting, for the Schematic and Design Development packages.

Physical Model Scale: 1/32�

Actual Dimension: 25X 40�

Materials: Film, Plastics, Acrylic, Chipboard, MDF

As a collaboration, the topography of the physical model was based on the earth survey from the Landscape department. All the buildings were accurately measured and built referenced from the revit model. Materials and the colors were carefully chosen and went through many experiments to be used as a final product.

From the existing Moscone convention in San Francisco, my task was to update the demolition plan to construction document drawings for the renovating meeting halls, convention area, lobby, restrooms etc. I was on the site to measure the existing fixtures and to help redraw the plans, elevations, and details. The overall of the project was to be accomplished within the short amount of time with organized and strict schedule.

Presentation / Publishing Group Media Presentation MORPHOSIS, LOS ANGELES Internship 2011 Jan - 2011 Mar

At Morphosis, I was directly under the Business Development and Communication Department to work on several key projects. I have worked on monograph of Morphosisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent work by Equal Books in Korea, presentation drawings for publications and the website Morphopedia. On monograph, I was in charge of translating text including the essays and key projects in English to Korean. Also I was in charge of archiving past and present work of Morphosis. I have used Illustrator and Rhino to update the presentation drawings, and simultaneously update Morphopedia (Morphosisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Website).

Villa TT Phuket, Thailand WE Architecture, Copenhagen, Denmark Junior Designer: 2009 Jan - 2009 May As a junior designer at WE Architecture in Copenhagen, I was in charge of various task including making physical models, designing and making various study models for the house and Benetton competition, and research for the furniture. The last project I worked on was Villa TT, located in Phuket, Thailand, a potential house for the client. To maximize the affect of the site, three rectangular boxes are oriented in different directions in order to preserve view and the functionality. I helped to build the final physical models as well as various study models. I also helped to build the model in Rhino.

Designing in perfect surroundings asks for a building which gives optimal experiences of the environment.

This is the case with TT-villa which is Situated on a west facing hillside near the sea, among vigorous vegetation which spans from tall palm trees and rhododendron to orchids and lotus flowers. The luxury of the surroundings is the corner stone of this project.

We have tried to create a building where both interior and exterior has equal contact to nature and sea. An inhabitable oasis in the midst of the wild , with the commodities of modern living.

The building site is situated on a steep rocky terrain, between the road on the upper part of the hill and the beach 100 meters below. As a stair, sometimes hovering above nature, sometimes carved into the rock, the building steps down the hill providing interior and exterior access between the arrival on the top of the building and the beach below. Along these paths the layout of the house provides terraces connected to the different functions of the building. Nature can grow unobstructed between the building volumes.

I was part of Doug Jackson Design group to help “ Souper Green” exhibition, at The Architecture and Design Museum of Los Angeles (an exhibition of new architectural work that offers a compelling alternative to the conventional idea of “being green”). I was in charge of rendering the final images from the existing model. The process included regenerating and remaking some of the model parts in Rhino format to working on final images in photoshop.The exterior and interior renderings were done using Maxwell rendering program directly exported from Rhino.
