Senior Project - Chinatown Vertical Plaza Fifth Year Spring Studio
Duration: 14 Weeks Studio + 15 Weeks Research
This project looks at creating a shopping plaza that caters to different parts of the community depending on the time of day. Located in Chinatown, the project offers a community space where the elderly can socialize in the morning and entertainment programs for younger people to socialize at night. The project would have two levels of community space which would allow for different activities during the day or night. Other programs that fill the project are retail, small restaurants, fast food, and rooftop restaurants. This project takes the community’s daily activities and puts them together in a vertical manner to create a single building that is wrapped with an envelope. The typology of the building will be very different from the typical plaza typology in Chinatown, Los Angeles. The project adapts the plaza typology to be more high density within a small lot. Although there is not a definite typology yet, the courtyard typology, which some plazas use, will not be the typology of the project. Using a courtyard typology limits the size of units that would surround the community space. There is a possibility of using a u-shaped typology where the bottom of the U is facing the streets or a parallel typology that uses the envelope and circulation to cover the community space from being seen from the streets.

Architectural Rites - Coffee Shop Fourth Year Fall Studio
Duration: 14 Weeks
This project started by looking at case studies that had explicitly ritual spaces and diagraming them. Afterwards I looked at what I influenced the ritual spaces and created models it and photographed them. We went on to look at movies where the architecture or the set influenced the mood of the scene. From there, the studio looked into mundane rituals and I selected to look at a coffee shop ritual. I designed the coffee shop using from what I learned from the case studies and movies. I focused on how the person entered the coffee shop, creating a cozy area that have natural lighting and designing a place where you can be in solitude. Within these spaces, I focused on photographing the spaces that are similar to the case studies. These photos I took focused on the daily life of a student going to a coffee shop.

Summer Study Abroad - Urban Design Studio Fourth Year Summer Studio
Duration: 2 Weeks
In this studio, we were tasked with looking for a plot of land in the location given and designing the land to connect with the area. The location was Nanlouguxiang, an area that has a commercial road in the middle surrounded by residential hutongs. Our site was located within the hutongs. We wanted to focus on designing the site and space that would encompass modernity through, community self-growth, cultural preservation, and sustainable development. From these ideas we created design strategies and principles so that we would stay in path with the idea we and that we would not design something random. From these ideas we selected programs that would include our ideas: Commons, Edible Garden, Library, Performance Stage, and Studio. We designed on these programs after we interviewed a few residents of the area.

SITE PLAN/1ST FLOOR PLAN
The prompt of this project was create a multi-family urban housing project that had Type I construction for commercial at ground floor with Type V construction for the housing above. I started this project by making sure the size of the commercial is the correct Sq Ft. After I took the size of the commercial and extruded it upwards. Then I added a side wing to allow for more housing and reduce the number of floors. The width of the wing was half of the with of the commercial plus the width of a hallway. The placement of program was decided by only having two corridors. Looking at Le Corbusier Unite d’Habitation,I used the same method for room which allowed for two corridors. The corner was designed to allow residents in the upper floor to have their own common space without having to go all the way to the bottom floor. The skin of the building was created by taking the roof of the wing and extended it to the tip. After, I folded it to connect to the third floor. I used the angle created to created the other angles around the building.

Mt. Wilson Scientist Retreat Third Year Fall Studio
Duration: 14 Weeks
The prompt of this project was create a place for scientist to have a place to work and sleep that would also be open to the public. The way I approached this was stacking the programs so that the building would not affect the surrounding site. By stacking the programs, I create an area on the top where you can look out and see above some trees. The building form comes from the first exercise where we created a structural tower. What I took from that exercise was the structural from and the circulation. The design follows a module of 4x4. This module was chosen by the size of the site. I took the site and sized it up so that it would allow for that module. This way, the module would allow for use inside the concrete column. From there, the sizes of each deck was decided by taking the module and using it sizing it so that it follows the required program size. The program was decided by how i learned about placing program for a single story house. So what i did was make it that when you enter the building, you are immediately in the public space. Then for the residents of the place, the next floor is the office so that they can work immediately. Also, if they have guests that they are working with, the guest do not have to travel up too far. The reason for the bedroom being on another floor because i wanted the kitchen built into the concrete column and that meant there was no space behind the kitchen.
