freeway city
a new form of a city on top of existing infrastructure
Jae Park advisor: John Enright summer 2019 - thesis
T
he city is a place of interaction. Interactions between individuals, communities, and cultures are what make cities attractive and productive. In order to maximize the effects of these interactions, the current form of the city must be reimagined with even more urban population to accommodate in the future. The new city will be an aggregated form of the current city, using existing building typologies found in the urban setting. By elevating and combining them in different orientations, it will condense the old form of the city into a linear form and create more opportunities for the occupiers to interact with each other as they move along the city. The new city will be autonomous, containing every piece of program that a city needs in order to function on its own, and will not be bound by traditional organizing principals that govern the city such as property lines and the grid. In terms of site, freeways traditionally hadn’t been considered as the site for architecture due to pollution, noise and other environmental concerns but as we develop new ways of moving around the city, for example electric vehicles and underground transportation systems, it opens up possibilities of architecture on freeways. Freeways are one of the largest infrastructures found in an urban environment and these could be repurposed as part of the new city in the future. Los Angeles had been chosen to demonstrate the idea, as it has one of the largest networks of freeways in the world. The new city will be built on top of freeway 110, to solve issues such public housing and introduce a more condensed form of a city where people can interact freely.

exploration of technological innovation in architectural design process
Jae Park, Adam Wells advisor: Casey Rehm fall 2017 - studio
C
urrently the discipline of architecture is in the process of being actively redefined by shifting political, social, technological, and ecological paradigms. In the 2GAX studio students explore the forefront of the discipline, leading the conversation about the next in terms of aesthetic agendas, architecture’s contemporary and future societal role, and the impact of theoretical and technological innovation on architecture’s design and communicative repertoire. The Complex Morphologies studio places an emphasis on advancing formal strategies beyond the current state-of-the-art. Students integrate extradisciplinary techniques and technologies into the design workflow in order to develop innovative architectures that respond to changing societal, ecological and technological contexts. Students’ design work engages issues that range from fundamental morphological transformations through rigorous 3D modeling, to the role of the image and digital sampling in the production of architectural form. These issues are explored through a highly resolved building design.

mixed-use project replacing exiting flower market in Downtown, Los Angeles
Jae Park, Gokay Sapan advisor: Elena Manferdini spring 2018 - studio
T
he project is productively situated between a mid-rise and tower massing, during one of the fastest economic turns that has transformed a low density industrial zone into a highly valuable land for mixed-used developments. These definitions are often relative to context and are relevant here, as the area of the project is in transition from horizontal fringe to a vertical landscape condition. This mixture of expansive market hall and repetitive vertical housing units will be exploited through the deliberate integration of nature, real, implied or fake. This combination will require innovative reconsider of circulation models, hybrid structural systems and an extensive exploration of material and color. Mixed-use buildings trade in programmatic distinction and historically have separated commerce and housing. Starting in the 1970’s the late architect and developer John Portman tested boundaries with grand atriums that created interior vistas and a mixture of atmospheres. The projects blurred the physical and/ or implied line between expansive collective space, intimate units and nature. The section was utilized to offer a dramatic model for mixed programs. In this project we aim to challenge the clarity of these borders to design the spaces of the everyday that are punctuated by curated atmospheres that reinvent, and possibly distribute, the qualities market hall.

great kemeri bog visitor center competition entry
Jae Park advisor: John Enright fall 2018 - vertical studio
T
his proposal for the The Great Kemeri Bog Visitor Center investigates the understanding that the enjoyment of nature is a transitory experience from interior to exterior, as one progresses from more urban areas to the natural environment. In this manner, the project is focused on the movement of visitors from the entry road, through the parking area, and towards the bogs. It is made up of multiple geometries that give a strong sense of movement and directionality throughout the site with its form and landscape, integrating the building with the path to the boardwalk.The geometries suggest a kind of flow that gathers visitors from the parking space, on the east side of the site, then “funnels� them onto the path towards the boardwalk, using soft curves that provide flawless circulation. As the visitors travel throughout the site, these forms would become multiple pavilions, which host different programs, and a mix of pavement and landscape that contain various vegetations. When seen from above, the roofline resembles a crack in the forest, which also emphasizes the flow of circulation with its form. The path begins to organize the program on each side and the project maintains a fairly narrow profile, surrounded by the trees, which further accentuates the directionality provided by the geometries. The parking space is very much regularized for maximum usage of space. The project becomes a part of progression towards the boardwalk by providing a smooth transition and flawless circulation from one side of the site to the opposite.

european velostops competition entry
Jae Park advisor: John Enright fall 2018 - vertical studio
T
he project began with the idea of dividing the public space, the path, from the private, the velo stop, which also provides the views out to the landscape. By putting down a single flat wall, each program pieces are thought to be simply clipped on to a wall and carved out in various orientations and forms to provide different spatial experience and interesting relationships between the programs and views. The velo stop has two distinct sides; on the path side, the wall becomes completely flat, with the fireplace being the only opening in the entire surface but on the opposite side, the carved out spaces create a much more animated form and interactive environment. The wall separates the users of the velostop from the path and provides a private but open space for the visitors. For more program requirements, the wall simply needs to extend out and the same procedures can be repeated to carve out more spaces to adjust to the requirements. There are multiple foldable and retractable systems within the building, which can be used according to the users need. The idea of poche takes place in plan as well as in section and is further emphasized by the use of materials, which are concrete and ipe. Concrete is used for the wall and the ceiling, which are the static elements, and ipe is used for the programs that are attached on to the wall. The simple and subtle design allows for the velo stop to be placed in any parallel position along the path at any point.
