ABCDEFGof Design Expansion College Pence Hall houses the University of Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Design, located in the heart of campus. But it is neglected due to its building style similar to its surrounding context. Instead of creating a new building that would stand out and make a statement about the college, this project aimed to build a space that will appeal to students from all disciplines, providing services that would fulfill their needs while also providing a specific function for those enrolled within the College of Design. With the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sustainability Council Grant, the project took the opportunity of converting the current site condition of dumpster and services backyard into an urban park which the university lacks. The park would be a designated green space that could provide outdoor space for recreation, socialization, and large fabrication display to boost exposure for those passing by. The park would also be integrated with the building, weaving into the ground level and creating an interior garden under an atrium. As students follow the path from the park, one would be led into the building where there is a passage exposed to the fabrication shop, a gallery displaying student work from the college, and then finally a cafĂŠ and food court that one can use to eat and socialize with others. Within the building, the program is divided into where the ground level holds public spaces, the first floor shared institutional space, and the upper levels a designated space for each major. The basement of Pence Hall houses Industrial Design studio space so that it may be in closer proximity to the fabrication shop while the second floor houses Interior Design and the third floor houses Architecture and Historic Preservation.

Interior Rengering Around Atrium

In order to enhance the environmental sustainability of our project we have made careful design decisions. The south-east and north-west façades are composed of glass-and-perforated-metal double skin system for many reasons. Having the perforated metal panels applied on two long sides of the building and letting the glass exposed on the ends visually enhances the sense of skin. This double skin system remarkably reduces solar heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter by reducing the speed of airflow. The perforation of the metal provides both privacy and openness to the building. The material itself is very economical in many ways as it is durable, light weight, can reduce fossil fuel energy for transportation, be made of recycled material and be recycled.

The south-west side of the building is a glass façade set at a 30-degree angle. This was a solution to reduce the intensity of the daylight entering at a 70-degree angle during summer and allow softer daylight that enters the building at a lower angle during winter. Multiple light wells and atriums around Pence Hall and in the center of the addition allow natural daylight in both the old and the new building. Rooftop solar panels provide on-site renewable energy. The green roof garden helps reduce the “heat island effect.” And the urban park landscape pavement is constructed with permeable material to collect and manage rainwater more efficiently.

Relative Positioning This project was driven by an intention of creating spatial ambiguity using a technique inspired by the artist Felice Varini. For the design process, the technique is further developed from Varini’s method of image projection and paint in order to manipulate architectural surfaces. Utilizing six steps of manipulation, the result alters the perception of the given space and integrated forms into the interior space to create a new landscape while keeping the perceived view from the “aligned” viewpoint uncompromised. Here, the “aligned” viewpoint is the location where the image projection takes place where the image looks undisturbed. The resulting structure provides dynamic and three-dimensional spatial experiences. Later on with a given program of children’s museum, the sculpted space is further trimmed to become suitable architecturally.

Wool Felting The objective was to study different kinds of fabric, discover rules, and apply them architecturally. This project was based on research and experiments of wool felting technique. Translating the discovered techniques architecturally resulted in simplifying the system into basic formation process. The rules were that a primary structure that is in a zig zag manners is created then smaller secondary structural members are packed within the large voids. With the application of color theory, the research resulted into a fashion boutique located on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, the city’s most famous shopping area. The overall space is constructed with varying sizes, spacings, and colors of “wool” elements. The entry facade and space consists of light (short, thin, wide spacings between elements, bright colors). As customers enter further into the space, the elements’ density, length, and thickness increase and the colors become more intense. The floor pattern and color corresponds to these elements. Men’s and women’s sales sections are separated by floor and there is a courtyard cafe in the back where customers can relax, socialize, and enjoy beverages.

Imperfection as Beauty The projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept matured through investigation of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperfection as beauty. By analyzing and observing the phenomenon of tearing, formation rules, geometry and structural systems became evident. Process of self-ordering was the main force that determined the shape of torn openings. This explains why a lot of natural material (planets, bubbles) tends to become spherical and constantly rearranges itself into a more stable state. A brief chaos causes the material to constantly rearrange itself to find the most stable form. When the hollow bubbles get packed, the structure becomes net-like, being more minimal. After the research and experiments, these rules of tearing were applied architecturally from two-dimension to three-dimension The overall structure and parametric form with varied openings seemed suitable for a cafe garden program at a large green space in Piedmon Park, Atlanta, Georgia. The various openings of the structure would provide natural daylight to plants and visitors within.

It is clear: the fiber-supported soft pneumatic structure is lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primitive construction (cells, interior or bone).

Protozoa Safe House This project takes on the ancient interest in the relationship of architecture to Nature, moving from simple description to one of poetic and scientific understanding of living, moving organisms and systems to a poetic design process of chance, re-combinatorics, interpretation, and translation from the Real to the Imaginary to construct new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;creature space-timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; through digital media. From studying paramecium, a type of protozoa, its ability to filter and contain nutrients from surrounding water was discovered. The concept of filtering substances was architecturally applied as a temporary structure for the homeless people. Urban settings are populated with homeless people, an eyesore which our society tries to hide. The structure can be installed on any flat surface, and is made of metal frames and insulating and waterproof fabric.

Courtyard House Located on Marietta Street next to Georgia Tech’s Engineer’s Bookstore, the project consists of three units of courtyard house. Each unit is a consolidation of Louis Kahn’s Fisher House’s windows and visual connection around the courtyard. Private program within the unit is protected with pocket windows and less private program is cased with large picturesque windows. The courtyard (first level) and balcony garden (second level) are surrounded by picturesque windows to emphasize the courtyard’s function as the major servant space of the house. It is suggested to be used as a second gathering space. The courtyard house is designed for the client’s specific needs; master bedroom for the client and his wife, bedroom for two children, and a guest bedroom and ADA bathroom for the occasional visit of the client’s mother.

Courtyard Pavilion This courtyard pavilion project had to fulfill two objectives: activate the dull courtyard space surrounded by classroom buildings and use 3,000 sf of concrete. It is proposed to the Skiles courtyard on Georgia Tech campus. The pavilion is accessible from both the ground level and upper level. The lower part of the structure resembles the theater stairs leading down below ground level, providing open and public space while the upper part includes partial walls providing more private spaces.

CULL Cabinet The name â&#x20AC;&#x153;CULLâ&#x20AC;? comes from the form of the cabinet units which was a result of combining the geometry, grid, and erosion concepts. My intention was to design a multi-functional furniture which provides internal/private storage space, external/public display space, and sculptural interior decoration. The design developed from a cube that has different material on the inside and the outside. The faces of the cube are divided into a 3x3 grid and any of the unit except for the center is eroded either vertically or horizontally. The cabinet units are constructed with maple plywood and covered with cherry wood veneer to enhance the sense of inside outside. The grain of maple wood texture follows the direction of the erosion. Small square holes are placed in the center of each face then painted grey. These holes allow finger space for lifting and opening and connection pieces to hold the cabinet units together. These units provide freedom of arrangements to the users; they can be arranged as a side by side wall, stacked tower, or 2x2 style, and the doors can open out to different directions that is convenient to the user.

Fold + Display Chair The objective of the tectonic design project was to create a chair that exposes its structure, construction, and material while having aesthetics and meaning. The concept of this chair is multipurpose and personalization. When this chair is unfolded, it is a rectangular wooden board that can be painted as a decoration.

Villa Savoye Section Model A section model of a famous International Style villa designed by Le Corbusier located in Poissy, France. The openness of the rural site permitted a freestanding building and the full realization of his five-point program: pilotis, roof garden, free floor plan, ribbon windows, and free facades. The dominant element is the square single-storied box, a pure, sleek, geometric envelope lifted above slender pilotis. The ramps on ground floor and second floor suggest gradual movement from interior to exterior.
