YOUTH HOSTEL +
Program Youth Hostel & Public Amenities Location Mexico City, original US Embassy Professor Mark Rakatansky Partner
Jorge Otero-Pailos Wenjing Zhang
The project aims to reinterpret old US Embassy located in Mexico City. Through transforming existing language of the building to propose a new interactive relationship between public and private. Diverse arched paces, which architecturally conveys a sense of gathering, are for different public amenities (gym,cinema,gallery and library). The surrounding orthogonal structure is for more private youth hostel space. In this way, the project breaks the hard boundary between visitors and local residents, and spatially encourages not only visual but also physical interactions.

Capsule units line up along the windows, allowing daylight coming through
Curved bookshelf walls shared by people living in youth hostel and people in public library
People reading the book in the hostel can look down to the gallery space below
Facade is being pushed back and forward alternatively to create dynamic in-door vs out-door experiences
Capsule units cluster to form semiprivate cozy gathering space, where people can seat and enjoy the view
Ground floor is seamlessly connecting with the street that brings in food carts, markets and all different groups of people

ONE HOUSE FOR ALL Program Location Professor Partner
Housing Bronx, New York City Eric Bunge Yizhou Wang
The project is challenging the existing housing system by breaking down the traditional way of stacking individual units. The site becomes one single house for everyone. All residents occupy “one big kitchen”, “one big bedroom” and “one big study room” while at the same time owning their private rooms according to individualized needs.

In-between bridges linking kitchens and bedrooms also functions as private living space Central thick wall which functions both as primary structure and shaft for pipes
Shared kitchen and living spaces in the “kitchen wall”
Thin walls that can be easily moved to meet custom needs

Program Art Center Location Bali Island, Indonesia SUPERVISOR Marcin Sepate Wuijoon Ha
In the design team, I was responsible for the design of a special ceiling system for Pandawa Art Center in Bali Island, Indonesia. I modeled the details on computer, and made 1 to 1 mock-up physical model to test the strength and light effect. I also got a chance to design several customized furnitures in the lobby area to correspond with the ceiling particles.

SF BAY AREA RESILIENT BY DESIGN
The BIG + ONE + SHERWOOD team’s vision for Southeastern San Francisco is an Islais Hyper-Creek, a restoration of the natural ecosystem centered around a new, riverine park that addresses risk from coastal and storm-water flooding and serves as an opportunity to bring the existing industrial ecosystem into the next economy.
Program Location
We won the competition and the drawings are published. I was involved in a range of tasks including 3D modeling, rendering, concept diagram making and video making.

WHAT A BORING PARKING LOT!

RETHINK PARKING LOT Program PARKING LOT + MIXED USE Location Roosevelt Island, NYC Professor Phu Hoang
The continuous ramp derived from parking allows for an integrated experience through the building and creates more opportunities for interactions between different activities. Ramps and flat slabs with different scales are organized in an alternating way, providing a variety of spaces for diverse activities. A continuous facade with changing transparency wraps up corresponding to the shapes of ramps, defining where is interior, where is exterior, as well as where is private, where is public. The project is challenging the possibility to break down the traditional physical boundaries that have limited the scope of activities, to eventually realize a micro integrated city system that will enhance the interaction between different activities, relying on technical improvement on delivery and distribution system.
IT IS LIKE A MICRO CITY!
I AM WONDERING WHERE NEXT?
Stepped up library that allows the free movement through the space but also keeps a sense of subtle privacy.
When the facade stops, you can always find a spot to enjoy the great view of the city in an outdoor space.
Auditorium space that can be open or closed up according to requirements of different events. It can be open when there is a free lecture or free concert performance.
You can always find a place to sit down and have a conversation. You can start your firm here by renting a table.
Bar is always here for you to relax and meet with people you never had a chance to know
Bunch of places to eat when you are starving. You can bring the food to outdoor courtyard spaces when the weather is good
You can bike all the way through the building along the biking ramp, passing by the library, gallery, auditorium and restaurants.
You can even walk your dog and have a run on the roof deck, enjoying the breathtaking view of the city at the same time.
Ask some friends to have basketball match during the lunch break on the outdoor grassland
Or you can do nothing but lying down and enjoy the sunshine.

LIBRARY AS A MICRO CITY Program Public Library Location Brooklyn, NYC Professor Benjamin Cadena
A public library should not be a separate building from surrounding city. People would enter into the space without consciousness, maybe on their way home from work or school. The spatial experience is familiar to everyone, just like when you wandering around the streets, entering into a big plaza , walking along a narrow alley or going back home.

PRE - FAB HOUSE
at Pre-fab Home Stillwater Dwellings
Program Single & Multi Family Location Seattle, Los Angeles, etc. SUPERVISOR Matthew Stannard Jana Hungater
Stillwater has developed a prefabricated building system along with advanced tools to streamline the design and building process. The flexible Stillwater prefab building systems can be adapted for homes of any size. More than 20 floor plans and three finish packages are available to be chosen from and to be modified. As the only intern in the team, I had chance to participate in every step included in project development, from client meeting, schematic design to construction. I was completely responsible for the preparation of schematic design drawing set and permission drawing set for several projects.
