UNIVERSITY INFRASTRUCTURE Phoenix, Arizona The new university infrastructure in the city of Tempe, AZ suggests a new direction for the university in the near future based on various current university models. The university’s new infrastructure will package an education institution with not only academic research facilities that support students and scholar’s needs, but also provide support for various needs of the next generation of entrepreneurs. In the new university, the graduate school with state of the art research facilities and business incubators will bind together within a single site to maximize a synergy effect created by proximity. The new university infrastructure will also include unique moments in various locations where different program circulation will take place, guided into shuffling spaces in order to increase chances for encounters and interactions. Due to solar radiation in the local environment, most occupiers of the new university will seek shaded areas for their open-air interaction activities. Since the new university is located in the city of Tempe, AZ the environment naturally inherits the greater Phoenix metropolitan area where a vehicle oriented culture condition takes place. Therefore, calibrating the right density within the infrastructure will play a critical role to create micro urban conditions for the new university’s campus ground under Phoenix’s macro urban condition. As the university will grow in the future there is also the possibility for future expansion of the university’s grid into a greater infrastructure system.

GSAPP HEADQUARTER Manhattanville, New York The architectural education experienced huge shift in modes of operation in last few decades. Works produced in architecture school is now largely computer generated and digital fabricated; as students find architecture blogs and websites more convenient way of researching than going to library, what would be the future of architecture school? One thing for certain is that architecture school must offer a new spatial quality to new generation of students. During the research phase of the project, I surveyed large number of students to see what they think about architecture building in Columbia University. The most striking yet expected feedback was that large number of students work their project, research, and paper outside of studio. Virtually, any space could be sufficiently turn into studio with minimum tool. New GSAPP headquarter does not have designated studio space, rather studio is everywhere. Studio space is distributed to other programs in architecture school such as fabrication lab, lecture hall, classroom, library and such. Students will choose their working space according to their needs, preference and interest. This new arrangement will offer a number of advantages over convention method of dividing students by each studio, year and program.

NEW FUN PALACE Manhattanville, New York
in current context. New site which I choose is Time Square in New York City. During 1980s, as part of a long-term development plan Time Square was filled with commercial buildings and neon lit signs. As it became more tourist-friendly attractions and upscale establishments, Time Square is now place where New Yorkers no longer visit. The new “Fun Palace” in Time Square will perform as an outdoor theatre and culture center. By using existing dense commercial signs as backdrops, visitors would use Time Square for dancing, music, drama and fireworks
Cedric Price imagined a new theatre where everyone is an actor, director and spectator at same time. The idea was to build a ‘laboratory of fun’ with facilities for dancing, music, drama and fireworks. Central to Price’s practice was the belief that through the correct use of new technology the public could have unprecedented control over their environment, resulting in a building which could be responsive to visitors’ needs and the many activities intended to take place there. Using an unenclosed steel structure, fully serviced by travelling gantry cranes the building comprised a ‘kit of parts’: prefabricated walls, platforms, floors, stairs, and ceiling modules which could be moved and assembled by the cranes. Virtually every part of the structure was variable. The only fixed element within the Fun Palace was to be the structural grid of steel lattice columns and beams. All other programmatic elements – hanging theatres, activity spaces, cinema screens and speakers – were to be movable or composed of prefabricated modular units that could be quickly assembled and taken apart as needed. The goal of studio was to reinterpret and redeploy of “Fun Palace”

ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING Eaglebrook School Deerfield, MA The studio is about the relationship of theory and practice; the development of ideas with the creative demands a buildings realization requires. The project is to build a new administrative building for Eaglebrook School in Deerfield, Massachusetts. It is an independent junior boarding school for boys. The site is located near to the main entry point on 750 acre campus. The major goal is to create an iconic yet functional administrative building that would give impression to new comers. Program requirements were very precise. Design strategy was to deploy 6 major programs (Department of Business, Admission, Development, Headmaster room, Publication, and Boardroom) in order to create synergy effect by proximity.

BOWERY LIBRARY Bowery, New York The studio explores the techniques of couture (fabric and garment construction) - as techniques in architecture, expanding on the conceptual influence of one field over the other to encompass emergent and traditional tools of tailoring and dressmaking as methodologies for novel structural systems, programmatic models and means of construction in the design of a 10,000 sf library in the Bowery in New York City. The studio operates as simultaneous design of the body/skeleton, and garment/ skin, as a hybridized, unified deep structural assembly. Operations within the organisational logic of the structural skin are fundamentally linked to shifting program and site influences. The architecture becomes reactive to the programs it houses, interdependent parts of a performative system - storage, archiving, retrieving, viewing, and display.
