Located at the intersection of Downtown, Midtown and GaTech, the site acts as a gateway where pulling and pushing of urban forces interwine. Taking advantage of the site's proximity to MARTA station, the existing network is stretched to reach and forge future connections through a multi-elevation pedestrian platform. The platform provides the foundation upon which mixed use developments grow organically and a diversity of activities take place. In an attempt to encourage new graduates and young professionals to stay and come to Atlanta, the urban design provides apartment, office, business incubator and supplementary programs such as retail, restaurant, elementary and high school. As time goes on and the level of mixed use grows, the urban design is expected to contribute to increasing demographic diversity and consequently transform the site into a vibrant urban core.

INTRO The Rugged Corridor River forges a connection from the Opportunity Corridor to the Doan Brook - the former an upcoming implementation of a planned boulevard and the latter an urban stream running silently and hidden through the city. Through urban interventions such as infrastructural plug-ins, landscape enhancements and planning adjustments, the project bridges the barriers that currently hamper public access from the neighborhoods to the nature area.

GROWING NEW TYPOLOGIES
BRIDGING BARRIERS
The proposed Opportunity Corridor would rejuvenate surrounding neighborhoods with more intensive commercial programs, higher amounts of circulation and economic opportunities. With this, the project proposes growing new typologies to accomodate mixed use programs that would transit to the neighboring sites of intervention that connect to the Doan Brook.
The Rugged Corridor River network leverages on site barriers as opportunities from which new typologies, connections and programs are created. A bridge is designed to latch on the sound barrier that runs parallel to the railway and separates the neighborhoods. At certain points it branches over and above the trench of railways to the bank on the opposite, landing in plazas that continue into a softer landscape.
THE RIVER CORRIDOR NETWORK The new infrastructural network - the Rugged Corridor River, stitches together gaps in the site. These connections branch out from the ongoing Opportunity Corridor, weaving through existing neighborhoods and ultimately provide alternative paths of access to the Doan Brook. The existing park is expanded to cover the Fairmount Reservoir site, and is a gradient of softer landscapes to more vibrant, rugged programs and facilities that lead to a transit hub and community spaces occupying underused industrial land.
CREATING A NODE The Rugged River Corridor branches from the existing RTA Station at E.105 Quincy Ave. The station is redesigned, its platform extended and serves as a transit node for the Opportunity Corridor, new footbridge and community hub.
MEMORY AND CONNECTION The Rugged River Corridor brings pedestrian flow through existing buildings that are adapted to hold new community programs. The new community hub at Fairmount Reservoir would contain a library, theatre, market and community centre that serves the surrounding neighborhoods 0'

in China. Thirteen Hongs was exclusively designated to manage international trading and soon became the symbol of fortune. After the Opium War, the Thirteen Hongs district has gone through dramatic changes and nowadays ends up being a fragmental, deteriorating slum which urges design interventions. In an attempt to revitalize the historic district into a place of better connectivity and vibrant envrionment, the urban design recovers historic north-south connections by creating boulevards, infills with affordable housing for working class, implements TOD above new subway station, converts the proposed-to-be-demolished viaduct into a promenade, and redesigns the open space to reinsate the glory history of Thirteen Hongs.

REVITALIZING BLIGHTED COMMUNITY EXISTING BLIGHT Currently, the old community has a number of blighted buildings which need replacement and a demand of public space and parking.
REPLACEMENT Blighted buildings will be replaced by new affordable housing with second-floor landscape connection. Meanwhile, some public space will be created.
PROTOTYPE The typical building typology in the neighborhood is 3- or 4-story narrow width, long depth, back-to-back "bamboo house" with retail on ground floor and residential above.
BETTER CONNECTIVITY The existing fragmented circulation will be improved by forging a pedestrianfriendly network with higher continuity.
NEW TYPOLOGY The proposed infill affordable housing typology will provide retail and parking on ground floor and residential with more livable floor plan. The back-to-back scenario will be changed by putting a second-floor garden in between, which allows for sunlight and ventilation.

Based on building suitability analysis, the master plan envisions an energy self-sufficient island where tourism, fishery, ocean research and military services can thrive in harmony. It aspires to create a model that could be applied to thousands of islands lying far in South China Sea.

THE BAMBOO HOUSE SOUTH CHINA FOLK ART MUSEUM Guangzhou, Guangdong, China April - June, 2012

PROTOTYPE STUDY
As the Cantonese saying goes,”an inch of land,an inch of gold.” Since Guangzhou was the business center of south China for several hundred years, the concept of land value was deeply rooted in people’s mind. Given that in commercial center, land cost was determined by frontage width of land, Guangzhou people developed a type of building with narrow width and long depth to make the best use of land. Ventilation and lighting were sloved by inserting courtyards between rooms. Such type of building is called bamboo house for its bamboo-like shape. I chose it as the form of South China Folk Art Museum because it is itself a masterpiece of South China folk art.

CONCEPT
SECTION A series of sections reveal the traits of bamboo house throughout the museum. On one hand, a space rhythm of void-solid is embodied by the continuous transitons between courtyard and exhibition space. On the other hand, using the wisdom of Guangzhou ancestors, difference of air pressure and temperature between indoor and outdoor space drives mild wind to pass through and cool down the building in a passive way, reducing energy consumption.

CONTEXT
SCUT campus is immersed in lush vegetation while it has relatively few open space to accommodate campus activities. Located at the center of SCUT campus, the cross of the two axes, the site is a place where students hang out frequently. Therefore, I came up with a design which could resonate with the green context and meanwhile provide students with more open space for communication and interaction. Additionally, some details, such as the adjustable blinds, were designed responding to the local climate.
