COMMUNITIMORE SPRING 2022, REAL-WORK STUDIO

Instructor: Caroline O’Donnell

Located in Baltimore's historic district near Hollins Market, the project hopes to bring opportunity and potential to the neighborhood by attracting new residents and visitors. This 86-unit mixed-use living and educational complex innovatively provides large spaces for residents, students and visitors through a large open deck that promotes a variety of activities. Located on the second floor, the open terrace is connected to the city by large steps, allowing the community to have privacy while increasing accessibility. Here, local residents can celebrate festivals, hold painting exhibitions and lectures; it is also a child-friendly space.

In fact, the building encourages human interaction, with a main corridor that rotates around the building's facade connecting all the public shared spaces on each floor. People easily get to know each other and linger when they use this space.

On the exterior, a suspended perforated panel façade is introduced to bring more passive ventilation and high efficiency, providing a flexible shading system for hot summer days and a dynamic façade with ever-changing panels. At the same time, the facade serves as a giant drawing board that actively expresses art and information visually.

The building itself is intended to be a dense living area that stands out from the current neighborhood by using new materials, colors and styles to bring an air of change to the street. At the same time, the building conveys the concept of community as more than a residential neighborhood, encouraging residents to COMMUNICATIMORE with each other and promoting a better BALTIMORE.

MASSING PROPOSAL 4

A series of massing designs at the very beginning; some common features include public space at the lower levels; spatial connectivity from both sides of the site for accessibility. The residential area on the upper part is split into several blocks to offer space for sunlight and ventilation.

The early proposal A has an open courtyard in the center, which extends to the outside plaza, a more public and flexible space where the ice cream factory is located. A grand hallway wrapped on the outer facade as a circulation connected all the communityshared programs.

The early proposal B used the townhouses along the street as a reference; all units are spread into several blocks. The public space and circulations integrated between residential provide balconies, bridges, and small gardens at different heights.

Starting from thinking about the traditional balcony, it is a spatial medium for one to observe the exterior from the interior. Away from this notion, this balcony folly rethinks the interior and exterior relationship and reverses the direction of visual interaction. Thus, it enables one to see the interior from the exterior from each balcony. Interior does not only mean typically enclosed spaces; instead, it exposes the hidden materiality. Repeating the interweaving typology of the materials is the method of material reuse in this approach. Primary reused materials are wood, concrete, and steel, which are structural elements hidden in the buildings. The folly exposes these materials to the exterior and creates them into various balconies. Materials and balconies are interwoven and make the sequence of views that are interwoven.

2.5D CAIRO

FALL 2021, UNDERGRADAUTE THESIS

Instructor:

Group Members: Haoyuan Wang, Xinhui Zhang

Urbanization in Cairo has encroached upon agricultural lands, forcing residents to abandon farming activities at the site of new commercial and residential developments. But residents should not have to choose between the benefits of metropolitan living in high-density developments and traditional ways of life in low-density farming communities. We propose that a “thick-2D” architecture could support commercial, residential, and agricultural activities in Cairo. Our work responds to the writings of the architect and urbanist Stan Allen, who coined the term “thick-2D” to describe the emergence of mat building strategies in the late twentieth century. Whereas mat buildings have historically been attributed to Western cities, our project will explore Cairo as a test-site for implementing a regionally specific mat urbanism.

DUOMO SPRING 2019, SU FLORENCE STUDIO

Cabrio Wang, Haoyuan Wang

An architecture school is proposed inside the historical Florence city center, adjusted to the SU Florence Villa Rosa, a hundred years old new-classicism villa. Through research on typology of traditional Italian buildings, the prototype of Amphitheatre and Classical Dome gives the inspiration of creating this design that structurally similar to an amphitheater of a multi-layer bucket form of very open and transparent, but spiritually be significant as a dome, which is a reversal to the traditional content and means to be eyecatching, as the Duomo in old Florence.

The building looks entirely open and welcoming to the public, while the public is directed toward a specific spiral ramp runs around the building that does not disturb the students inside the school, until it arrives the roof, where the private and public space meet, where holds exhibition and aiming to increase communication between internal.

Site Brief

Closely attached to the Villa Rosa and other traditional Italian buildings forms a relatively conservative context that the buidling is trying to break through. Surrounding buildings leaves a small open space for the project, while it is a through lot that connects both of the streets, allowing for more engagement into the city’s pubic area. Toward Villa Rosa is a public square park, which usually quite popular around neighborhoods, providing a group of potential visitors of the building.

A Propaganda Machine

Domes have a highly decorated topping to increase their heights as a symbol of their significance. Dome is a propaganda machine to show off its hierarchy to other modest buildings.

Double-shell Dome

A tendency in history is that domes are continuously turning higher, using more complicated structures, like a double-shell dome, that it’s no longer a simple volume.

Interlayer

In a double-shell dome, the space between the outer and inner dome gradually turning from useless to have service programs like circulation or engineering uses.

Domed Space

The domed space has the power to attract all the views from the visitors, which says a spiritual importance of such a space.

Centralized Space

Inside a domed building, the domed space is always the definite central space, and people tend to walk toward such an area. Anything placed directly under the dome would be the most important in this building.

Hierarchatic Buildings

In a medieval town, the doomed building, usually a church, show off the authority of religion and the physical center of the town. Space under the dome is significant spiritually and physically.

A Propaganda Machine

We aims to significant the existence of the institute, attracting local people, also as a symbol towards the future, so it needs to broadcast itself, as a domed buildings did in traditional Italian towns.

An Extended Amphitheatre

Using the baisc form of the Amphitheater, but extracted it into a much higher shape and gradually decreasing in diameter to fulfill our needs.

Divides such form into ten floors to create a basic layering system. Notice that the internal void is bigger on its upper part, opposite to the entire form.

Transfer each layer’s complete circular volumes into a more fragmented one due to each programs’ need in space. Three vertical circulations are placed between the programs.

Rotating Public Ramp

Learning from the spiral stair inside a double-shell dome, added a spiral ramp around the entire structure as public circulation, it is the extension of pedestrian street.

Homeless House

FALL 2018, DESIGN STUDIO

Instructor: Matthew Celmer

Group Members:

A residential complex aiming the homeless and low-income families as primary residents, based on our research on the homeless children, that we found the biggest problem is the failure in education, which leads to a poverty loop. To break such a loop, aiming to the reason of education failure: poor living environment and physical difficulty in going to school, we provide this design of living space and inserted education programs that solve the problem into one building. Additionally, it also houses a public museum/gallery that focuses on the theme of poverty in society, and most related problem with homeless wants to attract attention from society to gain more care to the homeless children.

Site Brief

The Site is a triangular-shaped corner lot in Motto Heaven, Bronx, with two NYCHA complexes on the south side and a small commercial & residential street on the other side. It has the advantage of two facades facing a busy street, so it is a chance to open the groundfloor with public programs to serve both our residents and the neighborhood community.

As one substance dissolves into another, a series of trans-formations rapidly occur. No longer separate entities, an entirely new solution is created from the action. This de-sign approach works in a very similar way, letting the city dissolve into the sea, creating disparate islands scattered around. As these islands form, the first step is pushing in-ward toward the high ground, also known as the old city. Over time, these islands can then work to form a network of resources and communities which utilize vertical ur-banism to provide for its densified population. As needs and desires for the city shift over time, further expansion is made possible through both layered verticality as well as a reclamation of the land left behind.
