WHAT ARCHITECTURE MEANS TO ME I believe that architecture provides vehicles for change, opportunities to transform lives and promote social equity, and serves as a critical component in shaping the diverse, multinational, and urbanizing global world. I value placemaking, culture, and human psychology, continuously acknowledging user interaction, overall architectural intent, and feasibility of cultural and environmental sustainability.

LIGHT STUDIES This project explored patterns of negative and positive space using systems of ratio and proportions. There are three types of rectangles used to compose the structure, with two of the rectangles rotated 90 degrees to create a pattern. Each has the same surface area (i.e. 36 units) but differ proportionally in width and length (i.e. 3 by 12, 4 by 9, 6 by 6). The placement of these pieces according to their width creates an intricate geometric pattern not just on the structure itself, but also on the ground plane when light is projected through the negative spaces.

SITE STUDIES The mapping shows the length of a shadow projected from a tree at five different times of the day in fall. The tree sits at the axis point of a cluster of ellipses, with the width of the ellipse representing the largest width of the tree canopy and the length being the length of the shadow at the time of day. The section study presents five trees from the north side of the site, chosen as the location for the chapel due to its proximity to the sidewalks and density of greenery.

ROOF PLAN The chapel is accessible from a that path leads from the entrance to the parking lot on the northeast side as well as to a sidewalk to the south. Using the same geometry as seen in the light study, it is constructed using a system of geometrical proportions to frame positive and negative space on the roof and ground plane. The chapel is the largest space and receives the most light, while the office and bathrooms are smaller and receive less light.

TERRARIUM 1 Water Filtration System The filtration system uses charcoal, gravel, and sand, substances that naturally filter water. Waste water is poured into the top and runs through the removable canisters, resulting in grey water suitable for the hydration of edible plants (if the water is dispersed around the plant). 2 Main Terrarium The terrarium receives grey water through the onto a hung platform that guides water to the periphery. The terrarium contains a mesh botttom to hold in the dirt, while still allowing water to drain to the last compartment. 3 Water Recycling System Once the water drains through the soil, it will fill into a compartment. When the knob is pushed in, the pressure received from the rubber will thrust the water back up through the tubing. Syringe and Track Construction The bottom system contains a rubber syringe that runs on a track, pushing residual water from the terrarium into the exterior tubing.

THE SYSTEM The circular pods interspersed around the greenhouse are meant to be private, individually rentable gardens that draw water in from the roof. Built using the same system as the terrarium, the water would begin at the top and filter through three stages--charcoal, gravel, and sand--and nourish the plant that would grow in the center of the pod. The rounded shelving is used for gardening supplies and tools. The water then flows from the pods to the communal gardens. 18

MATERIAL MONSTERS: A LOOK AT AGENCY HERE AT HOME 2014 Missouri Exhibit Design by Ziwei Ye, Jade Hubinek, Ailing Zhang, Sam Leder, Ted Bazil, Caitlin Lee is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
From Cargo Collective website: About the Project “... [The] goal is for the exhibition to act as an entrance into environmental justice, allowing viewers to emote within the artwork, empathize with the stories of upward struggles, and start discussions of agency to prevent and reverse environmental injustices.” Exhibition Design “This year’s exhibition design assesses the previous exhibit’s structure and presentation, using this opportunity to expand our sustainable design philosophy and develop methods of translation between design and fabrication. The design-build team considered the following: material sourcing; ease of construction, deconstruction, and transportation; and artwork display in a modular design. Weekly design meetings in February and March were spent discussing concepts, refining the design, and mocking up a module. Throughout the two-week build period, the team spent their time outside of class constructing the eight modules.”

PROFESSIONAL WORK
From www.scdaarchitects.com/architecture/soori-bali
During the summer of 2016, I had the opportunity to intern for SCDA Architects in Singapore, helping with miscellaneous projects located in Southeast Asia, China, India, and the U.S., and assisting with design development, presentations, site visits, interior design and 3D printing.
SOORI Bali Reading Room Interior Redesign Owned and operated by the firm, SOORI Bali is a high end, luxury resort located in the Tababan region on the island of Bali, Indonesia. The Reading Room, located off the main courtyard with a view of the Indian Ocean, was planned to be redesigned and redecorated. My task was to model and digitally construct the specified changes, considering furniture selection, material choice, and built in shelves and walls.
SOORI Bali Wedding Chapel To the north of the resort sits a rocky outcrop, creating a striking silhouette and providing panoramic views of the surrounding ocean and landscape. From this was demanded a wedding chapel or public event space that would both honor the existing terrain and enhance the experience of being there. Iterations and concepts were produced and represented through digital modeling and 3D printing.

BIOFILTRATION OBSERVATORY The Chain of Rocks Bridge situates itself on the north edge of St. Louis, spanning across the Mississippi River. Built in 1930, the bridge was formerly a part of Route 66 and now functions as a mile long pedestrian walkway. Fascinated by the history of the bridge and its context, the observatory utilizes the already existing architecture and plumbling system of the water intake tower. Built in 1913 to help pump water to the treatment plant to the west, the tower stood and ran for many years until water levels rose too high and made it inaccessible. Research indicates that it ran on a hydraulic pumping system, beginning with ports that brought water in from the bottom to the operating room on top. The room holds pumps sending the water through a large tunnel directed towards the treatment facility, where the water is processed and filtered for St. Louis’ drinking water supply. The observatory reinvigorates the historical tower, providing fresh water to both pedestrians and the treatment plant and forging connections between the old and the new. 24

NATURALLY FILTERING PLANT SYSTEM The plants inhabiting the basins were chosen based on their efficiency of filtration, height, and aesthetic appeal. Plant variability creates a dynamic, meandering experience that puncuates the linear horizontality of the bridge, offers views of the surrounding river, and provides a lush vertical greenscape experience.

DWELLING AND FLOOR PLAN The plants and plumbing system would be monitored by a scientist living off the third floor of the observatory. The 400 square foot glass, steel and wooden house contains a standard kitchen, bathroom, and living room on the bottom floor. The second floor bedroom is accessible by an efficiently designed stair-ladder system with built in shelving. The bedroom overlooks the living room and contains the second stair-ladder which brings the scientist up into the operating room. The operating room, similar to the one in the water tower, contains the pumps and intake tunnel that controls the water levels of all the ponds.
29
WATER FLOW SYSTEM The water begins at the bottom of the observatory where it is pumped up from the water tower. It then goes through a series of ponds with each pond situated in a way that they have one oveflowing edge onto the next pond below. This creates a series of gradually cleaner water with the bottom level containing the most filtered, ready-fordrinking water. Each basin would also have a plumbing system connected to the operating room where water could be directed or transferred from pond to pond. The water from the bottom pond would be pumped up to the top floor to drinking fountains that passerby could enjoy clean water from.

Le Facce e Le Facciate Di Firenze was an urban exploration mapping the facades and faces of Florence, Italy, where I studied abroad for four months. The extreme tourism has gradually depersonalized the workers and laborers, making the experience of the city fleeting and impersonal. My goal was to begin to repair the strained relationship between foreigner and native and forge relationships with the people who defined my everyday life. By focusing less on the grandiose architecture and opulence of the Renaissance city, I mapped the places I frequented-- shops, cafes, bars, and the like-- and asked the sales people, in Italian, if I could have permission to take their picture. My experience of Florence turned from one of inauthentic photographic homogeny to an extremely personal, intimate, and distinct understanding of my temporary home.

PARK IN PRATO URBAN FABRICS Spring 2016 Professor Zeuler Lima
Team: Alicia Morris, Lucas Rasmussen, Jade Hubinek, Jack Lynch, Melina Goldman, Jayne Stein, Alexa Greene, Will James, Ciara Hackman, and Kelly Dervarics
In studio in Florence, a team of ten came together to respond to a competition prompt to design a park in the Tuscan region of Prato. The compeition brief was as follows: 1) the area object of this competition, located inside the perimeter of the city walls, represents a large portion of the southwest quarter of the historical center, where the axes of ancient foundations can be easily identified... 2) a park for everyone; an open and lively park, even in the evening... a park that expresses the contrast between contemporaneity and the ancient site on which it will stand... a project area characterized by it’s “void” amidst it’s surrounding context of Prato’s buildings and historic site remnants... connected to the historical city center, yet open through the wall to the greater metropolitan area... 3) the main aim of the competition is to completely rethink the former hospital area, creating an urban park that endows it with a functional and strategic role so as to fully include it in the network of city relations... a place capable of conveying the image of “Prato the contemporary city”... a place that effectively contributes to the social and economic development of the city center... a place also understood in terms of strenghtening the attraction for tourists, which goes beyond the performance of the traditional functions linked to an “urban park”...

Our mission statement: “Our park is designed as a response to the committee’s task to create a space that admires the rich history of Prato while bringing in its current standing as a diverse community enriched by contemporaneity. Within the features of our design, we have created a wide array of multifaceted spaces. The spaces fluidly transition from one to the next to unify all areas of the park with common themes. The programmatic compositions [the pavilion, the café, the elevated terraced seating] create opportunities for a variety of activities for all ages and ethnicities of the Prato community. We believe our park, Il Parco Centrale di Prato, fully functions as a contemporary intervention for the many Prato communities and while underscoring Prato’s identity as a forerunner as an international contemporary city.”`

URBAN TOPOGRAPHIES MAPPING THAILAND Fall 2016, Frank Hu
The disparities between the rural urban areas of Southeast Asia are striking. While enriched with diverse histories and culture, cities are rapidly urbanizing, bringing rural populations and expatriates to new booming centers. What distinguishes this region of the world is its lush landscapes, historical and religious roots, and its distinct national identities. In Thailand specifically, there exists three main areas of “interest�: the Northern, heavily Buddhist influenced, region where Chiang Mai resides, the beaches on the southern tip of the country, and the urban localilty of Bangkok and its surroundings. Each consists of its own elevated landscapes and architecture, prescribing certain cultural and spiritual definitions to natural and aritifcial places. 38

FALL 2016 TEAM WASHU Project Architect: Pablo Moyano Faculty Project Manager: Ryan Abendroth Faculty Principal Investigator: Hongxi Yin Faculty Project Engineer: Tim Michels Student Team: Michael Zhan, An Liu, Tianyi Zhang, Adam Barnstorff, Alicia Morris, Lucas Rasmussen, An Liu, Nitish Bhat, Alex Gault, Kelly Dervarics, Jade Hubinek, and Jayne Stein From project manual: “Team WashU will educate the public about [the] new paradigm of adaptive state-of-the-art net-zero and self-sufficient houses and how it will affect the dynamics of living. The key objective of the team is to develop a prototype with an innovative high performance envelope that adapts and responds to the user and the climate conditions, meeting the social, emotional and physical needs of its residents. The house also will showcase the integration of reliable cutting-edge and proven technologies in an innovative, effective, and sustainable way. The house is contained in a single rectangular volume with a central core. This divides the space in two main areas, a large open public space on the west side and two more private rooms on the east side, where the northern room is the main bedroom and the southern room can be used as a secondary bedroom or a reading/office space. The total area is 968 sq. ft. A building of this kind requires new methods of architectural logic in which all processes of the building (construction, production and management of matter and energy cycles, water and waste, information, new materials, among others) are orchestrated under a holistic approach by integrating the bones (structure), skin (facade) and internal functions (systems) into a single entity.� 41
PRECAST CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION The panelized approach involves manufacturing precast concrete sandwich exterior structural wall panels, a composite concrete roof and floor slabs, framing components, and decking which will be shipped to the building site for assembly. The precast components are assembled in sequence. The windows, doors, pre-cut electrical wiring and chases, lighting track racks, and all exterior finishing are highly integrated with the precast pieces. We will use the dry panel connection system that uses embedded threads and bolts. Therefore, this will make on-site construction much easier. The house will have 32 structural precast components and multiple connecting points. The estimated erection period is about one day for structure and three days for all electrical wiring connections, HVAC, etc. The advantage of this approach will greatly reduce the cost for the contractor and sub-contractors compared to the traditional approach.

SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR The Washu Team chose interior materials that contain high-percentage recycled content, require low maintenance, and demonstrate maximum durability. We have chosen to use an Ebonized Lamboo for the kitchen cabinetry and interior doors, as it is comprised of 90% recycled content, requires low maintenance, and is moderately durable. For our countertops, we chose Ice Stone, a 100% recycled material with manageable maintenance and high durability. The stone is free of petrochemical and plastic resins and is scratch and UV-resistant. Within our central core, we chose Recycled Glass Ceramic Tile as our flooring. These tiles are SCS Certified and comprised of 55% recycled glass. They qualify for LEED and demonstrate remarkable durability and wear-resistance. We walled off our bedrooms with a felt finish to help with the acoustical issues from the concrete. Low Medium High Very High

HYDROPONIC SYSTEM As part of a sustainable lifestyle the house will provide nearly year-round vegetables, fruits and spices cared and harvested by the residents. The design concept of the house is a concrete box permeated by green spandrels that function as a growing platform for harvesting food. We designed a hydroponic growing system for food production, as part of an overall north-south grain strategy, with vegetated roof channels, modular vertical and ground planters watered with tube drip lines. The irrigation tubes are integrated into the vertical pieces and connect to water storage tanks. A rainwater harvesting system collects rainwater in troughs on the south side of the roof. This water is then drained into pipes that funnel down the vertical columns into the water storage tank to be pumped to the plants and the rest of the house when needed.

EAST VILLAGE SENIOR CENTER
Located on the Southeastern tip of Manhattan, the East Village is home to a long history of immigrant enclaves, cultural diversity, and present-day gentrification. Village View, in the heart of the city, offers affordable housing to New Yorkers and is a NORC (naturally occuring retirement community) that does not have a proper community gathering place. Driven by the desire to alleviate issues surrounding mental health and its stigma, I focused on the main issues that currently plague that demographic: firstly, depression and isolation, alleviated by creating publically visible circulation, an open atrium space, a fitness center, and open visibility between all spaces to encourage communication. Problems concerning dementia are addressed with the use of color and wayfinding techniques to create clear pathways, and “soft corners” for gradual circulation. The vibrant light extrustion from the roof serves as a wayfinding beacon for urban sanctuary. The fear of aging, death, and illness is addressed through the engagement of senses--light, air, sound, and exercise--through intergenerational collaboration and focus on communicating with others, and by the location of medical and mental health services on the basement level to lessen stigma and increase patient privacy.

Events in Europe including the Great Famine of Ireland in 1845 and anti-semetic attacks on Jews in the 1880’s and natural immigration patterns brought about extreme numbers of Germans, Irish, Jews, Ukranians, Polish, and Russians to New York City. The Lower East Side became a hub for immigrants, especially for the Germans who coined “Little Germany”, today better known as Alphabet City. They settle in tenement housing throughout the neighborhood, with Ukranian and Polish populations particularly strong in the western part of the neighborhood between 8th and 4th Street.
