01 Nested Objects: super-component Tallinn Concert Hall

Tallinn Concert Hall explores the concept of Super-component; independant and yet related.Nested and yet not connected. The massive void from the missing figures dissipates into the mega seams between the components. These seams allow for the vis-a-vis and opportunities to fit services that feed these components as well as connect them.

The micro-figures reflect the overall formation and represent the difference in scale that brings variation in function and meaning.

The micro-figures at the lobby level become the chandeliering Grand staircase, pushing onward the yellow liner.

The Abscence of the figure does not mean the abscence of the Object. The Super-component becomes richer in the traces and imprints left-over by the missing figures. The Figure becomes its virtual voided-self within the maintained vitual envelope.

The Ground as pedestal, recieves the shape of the building object. It mimics the building’s twists but formally differentiates itslef from the figure-based shapes. The Ground Object is nested within the Landscape, where it rests and peaks off as if escavated. The Landscape adds to the objectification of the Ground by the way it wraps around it and the way it lays itself on it.

02 Planar 1.0: Project H.H Battersea London

Planar City 1.o operates in a triple level. The ground is liberated from heavy car traffic. Bike and people are free to move on a new cobble stoned streetscape. This plane is an area full of possibilities. Old industrial buildings and infrastructure formate a landscape of bespoke architectural urban interest. The lack of urban density and the retrofit landscape treatment further enhance the planar flow.

“Here lies the opportunity for developing programs free of restrictions and hierarchies, centers or rhetorical figures ; they are opportunities and programs (to be invented, for the most part) in which the modes and practices of new subject can be developed: activities that enable a tangent topology to unfold.�

-- Areas of Impunity , Abalos & Herreros

Abundant warehouses and infrastructure are turned into areas for art installation and performance. The density of the city is hovering above the terrain vague. Privately owned public spaces create a canyon like landscape through office buildings. On the top a new unusual public domain exists. This landscape is empty from extraneous objects and programs. It rather focuses on the urban view and the interaction with the ground and middle level. In Planar City 1.o the bike has priority. Movement through the three levels is possible through ramps ,bike elevators or ground entrances. The bike uses the continuous surface as open field. NOW it has priority to move and explore freely.

03 ATSnyc: Calligraphy/Pattern/Line/Space American Turkish Society Center New York

From Section to Plan ATSncy adheres to its urban adjacencies in order to facilitate galleries, offices and a cultural center. On the North it carries the lines of the neighboring buildings organizing its program in a horizontal manner. Long weaving spaces rotate, progressively, upwards until they reach the south facade. There, the building becomes vertical with an imposing glass facade which exposes the interior to the lively 25th street. The structure is a three dimensional box-truss system and the exterior surfaces are covered with liquid metal, a type of synthetic mesh material. The nature of the material allows for a light weight facade with unique qualities. During the day the building is an opaque mysterious object, while at night it becomes translucent unveiling its interior to the public.

04 Sound Catalyst: Encounters in Movement Hotel/Residential TriBeCa, NY

The building is a reactive gradient based on sound and time. Public program wraps up and through acting as a sound catalyst while units shift in both scale and length of stay. At the street level public program is acoustically soft and increases as you move up the building, changing from small, quiet retail to a bar/club on the uppermost level. The living units are directly related to the degree of sound; with the longer term units located on lower levels shifting to shorter term units on upper levels. There is no distinction between hotel and residential, only a distinction in time of stay and degree of permanence.

Houston Exchange: Houston Future Energy Institute Gerald D Hines Urban Design Competition 2012

The Houston Exchange project emphasises on creating the PLACE FOR IDEA EXCHANGE. Innovation is born from exchanging knowledge and ideas. Mixing and mingling is designed into the daily work experience. Shaded plazas, covered rooftops, sky bridges and other public/connection spaces form a network of places for people to EXCHANGE. A research institute anchors an urban campus that reinforces Houston’s role as energy capital and CATALYST FOR THE FUTURE OF ENERGY of the U.S. The opposite of a heat island — the bayou breeze and solar site orientation keep streets comfortable for pedestrians.

The beacon aims to address the public safety and public health issues of Philadelphia. As many will say in the local area, “Safety is paramount when exploring the city – especially at night”. So it is of no surprise that at night Schuylkill Trail is vacant , hindered by the lack of light which provides a sense of safety for night recreation. Located at the end of Schuylkill Trail and the beginning of Locust St., The Beacon presents itself. Glowing tubes wind through the landscape, a simple gesture flowing to and out over the river where you can fully experience and engage with the water.

It is here were my proposal engages with more than just safety, but the greater health of the Schuylkill River itself.

Kinect Sculpting: Scanned Space Xbox Kinnect

PART ONE

AXIAL SYMMETRY ‘Kinect Sculpting’ part one seeks to redefine the way everyday, axially symmetric objects can be deformed into unique and interesting sculptures by using the Kinect and accompanying Processing script.

Part one very closely resembles the action of a potter at his Potter’s wheel spinning clay in order to get his desired effect. At this stage, one team member stands in front of the kinect waving in circles while the other team member controls the computer mouse to enable the gesturing to shape the spinning object within Processing.

PART TWO

PLANAR SYMMETRY ‘Kinect Sculpting’ part two deals with objects that have planar symmetry which have also been scanned with the Kinect thereby creating an even deeper connection with the technology. For this portion, the person at the computer is able to use the waving of his or her hand as the way to either sculpt an object inwards or outwards.

Surface Form: inverting

Plastic Lid Assembly

Inverting Between art and trash, the inverting of lids becomes a surface form. Both the fabrication and incineration of our 810 unrecyclable PVC lids produce dioxin, a nasty chlorine gas and carcinogen. On a molecular level, the proliferation of cancer occurs through various mutations of the healthy cells, often with chromosomes inverting positions. We infused this notion of inverting into the surface-form on multiple scales, with discrete units and modules with simple inversions, connections between modules, the transfer of structure from rim to membrane, and the production of both densely packed and voluminous regions. Our surface gives rise to a form that generatively defines spaces and inverts our understanding of the lid itself.

Within the realm of a transit center, the flows of human and vehicular movement are the major dynamic systems in constant interaction with each other. Multiple forms of transportation pass through this hub, including pedestrian, light rail, streetcar, bicycle, and water taxi. The spontaneous interactions between commuters and other modes of transport affect all systems and create the defining core of the transit center. When the human path encounters the transit path, a moment of significance occurs. By examining the length and exit locations of the light rail and streetcar, linear forces suggesting the human passage were pulled across the building. These flows of movement became the location and direction of the main structural members and thresholds, and inform the shape of the architecture.

What is the modern American dream? Big houses and big yards do not seem reasonable in the realm of modern sustainable living. Living style has been changing throughout every city, and the agenda of city planning has also been rapidly changing to respond to the mind-set of more sustainable and dense living. To prevent suburban sprawl and reinforce the sense of communities, Portland maintains an Urban Growth Boundary to handle uncontrolled development and celebrate mixed-used multi-dwelling buildings. The goal of the Mississippi multi-dwelling project is to preserve the American dream while promoting a new style of community living. By providing a high level of visibility in open, private spaces, communication between occupants is increased. To change the traditional living style from horizontal to vertical, societal norms of human interaction have also been redefined. The elevation of height is also an elevation of living style. A new realm of possibilities for the modern community is therefore introduced to the public.

Portland State University | Undergraduate Studio

East-West section

The separation between classes and cultures has infiltrated and undermined our society, creating barriers between people. We interact on the surface but a vital, deeper level of connection is missing. The power of this architecture is to bridge this divide and create spaces that collect and gather people from every corner of the society into a common point. An investigation was conducted of Glisan Street, and a 102-page book was created with each page graphically representing one block of the street.

It is at the intersection of the Laurelhurst and Kerns neighborhoods where the social division is most profoundly felt. Thirty-second Avenue forms an invisible wall that divides the two neighborhoods in all aspects. Unification is needed at this site to bring the community together. To this end, the introduction of a bathhouse at this location will unite the participants through the experiences of the architecture. Water is the elemental component that embodies every individual. It provides the opportunity for users to strip away their old identities and enter a common ground.

Willets Point Redevelopment Project The Willets Point redevelopment project looks to create an international entertainment center on the currently underdeveloped part of Queens, New York. Within the design phase of the Willetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point Redevelopment, I concentrated mainly on creating schematic drawings, models, and renderings. At the same time I had the opportunities to partake in various consultant and client meetings.

SF Golden State Warriors Stadium

AIR HANDLING SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR NON-EVENT MODE AT REDUCED LOAD

The SF Golden State Warriors Stadium proposal creates an landmark stadium and an urban link at the 32 pier of San Francisco. A multi-level podium creates a seamless transition between the city, the stadium and the waterfront.

The podium and the surrounding landscape is infiltrated with retail, commercial and public space. The bowl serves as an translucent vessel which promotes and houses major cultural events. The arena will become a new cultural center for the city of San Francisco. Pier 30-32 are located in a very well connected area of San Francisco. While I was in the San Francisco office I contributed to the preliminary design phase.

BFS Daji Beijing BFS Daji is a mix-use office and commercial project which is located on a historical Hutong site in Beijing China. The project seeks to preserve the historical Hutong buildings and transform the area into a mega retail center. The Hutong building situated in the middle of the site is surrounded by the proposed podium and office buildings, serving as a epicenter and entrance to the entire building complex. The staggered retail podium boxes shifts in transparency and uses as they stack on top of each other to allow program shifts. I participated in full schematic design phase.
