MULTIPLICATION & UNIFICATION ART GALLERY ADDITION PROJECT 2013 Spring Location: Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg, Canada Type: Option studio design, individual Tutor: Preston Scott Cohen

Geometric Motivation The starting point of the project is to identify a geometric system in the existing building and then take it as the motivation for generating the addition geometry, either by following or transgressing the system. By doing so, the new part of the building will be able to inherit the deep gene of the old one, thus a close geometric relationship generated between the old and the new. The addition area locates at the rear side of the existing building, which has two distinctive triangular tips. The addition takes these two tips and their intersection point as the main geometric motivation, creating a radial pattern that forms the basic plan shape for the addition. Each floor of the addition part follows this basic geometric system while they are interacting with the existing gallery space.

| Unified Multiplicity | Three Types of Spaces with a Unified Facade The basic idea of the studio is to create pedagogy which will address a certain or several theoretical conundrums of contemporary architecture. The pedagogy in this project tries to deal with the relationship between multiplication and unification in architecture, namely how to unify different elements in architecture while still preserving the diversity they have produced. The first task is to compose one faรงade, the geometry of which unifies the following spatial typologies from the ground floor up: semi-urban residual space, cellular galleries and open plan gallery space. The facade should not only unify these spaces, but also manifest their presence. In order to achieve that, the boundary of the floor changes from jagged to smooth while it arises, which generates the unified facade by sweeping these varied boundaries.

| Unified Multiplicity || Parallelism and Radialism Within Spiralism The second task is to add a strong and consistent formal order, a spiral or radial progression, to the building and force it to mutate by meeting other formal or programmatic demands. The mutation should produce composite forms of duality or even multiplicity. In the project, the open plan gallery and the skylight rooftop forms a continual spiral system, which meets different functional demands by mutating between parallel and radial composition. Specifically, the spiral system starts from the gallery space, which follows the radial pattern of the lower floors, then it mutates into parallel steps which merges with the existing steps on the roof. After that the system again changes into radial pattern in order to quickly arise to the skylight rooftop. The whole system ends at the parallel skylight window, which provides the ideal path for the natural light to come into the gallery.

|| Redeployment | Low Entrance Except the unified multiplication, the project also tries to form a close relationship between the old and new. The main solution is to identify either a distinctive or hidden formal element in the existing building and redeploy it in the new building by means of anothÂŹer formal language. One of the formal elements is the existing extremely low entrance. The entrance of the addition adopts such lowness, yet with a new curvy language, which seemingly sucks the outside into the lobby space. This new formal language also tackles the way the building touches the ground when it tries to create the first spatial typology, which is the urban residual space.

|| Redeployment || Monumental Chimney The other formal element to redeploy is the existing chimney. Its monumentality has been largely neglected because of its peripheral location. The new addition and the existing gallery form a courtyard space which surrounds the chimney and enables it to be a centrally dominant figure. By doing so, the monumentality is redeployed with a formal language change from peripheral to central, from trivial to dominant.

ORNAMENTAL SPACE APARTMENT DESIGN 2012 Fall Location: Boston Type: Option studio design, individual Tutor: Christian Kerez

Ornamental Space | Ornamental Structure Ornamental space promotes others while sacrificing itself. The traditional spatial hierarchies vanish, the space becomes trivial. Space frames the structure discrepantly, creating a tension between the feeling of relevance and alienation, the normal structure suddenly becomes unfamiliar and mysterious which visually and experientially dominates, while the space itself fades away into nothing. Ornamental space is a place with no clear direction, no decisive perspective. Everything or nothing could happen, people no longer perceive them as merely users, but more importantly participators, constantly discovering or encountering new moments in the space.

Population Density

Commercial Centers

Brooklyn is the most populous in New York City region, with nearly 2.6 million residents.

By overlapping the dense population centers and the locations of vibrant urban quarters with higher FAR, we could clearly figure out that these two populous areas has the potential for denser development.

Brooklyn’s Belt Parkway acts as a paradigmatic 20th century mobility infrastructure and one of the most significant urban interventions along Brooklyn’s southwestern edge. Conceived of by Robet Moses as a critical link in his larger metropolitan parkway network, the Belt Parkway -- constructed between 1939 and 1941 -- follows roughly 35 miles of Brooklyn's western shore edge from Owl's Head to Whitestone. Functioning as a hybrid corridor, the Parkway integrated vehicular circulation, pedestrian and bike paths, parks and other civic amenities within a singular urban structure. Through this overlay of urban systems, the project was one of the first to frame the urban as a landscape -- providing New Yorkers with the opportunity to experience the picturesque qualities of their city from an urban edge, primarily through the lens of the private vehicle. Today, as New York City at large, continues to renew the city’s relation to the water, the time is right to rethink the role of the “Parkway” in the city and conceptualize a more updated set of relationships between the water’s edge, mobility infrastructures and the city at large. Our site locates on Coney Island, the south end of Brooklyn. It has great mobility, about 30-min of car-ride to the airports in this region. Unlike Manhattan’s vertical urban image, Brooklyn has a feature of great horizontality. Brooklyn was an independent city until 1898, with a distinct culture, independent art scene, and unique architectural heritage. The figuration of Brooklyn is highly influenced by topography. Our site is one of the 7 big open spaces with an area of 55 hectares’, one fourth of the area of Prospect Park. Most open space had already become parks and cemeteries while our site is the last big vacant land that is available for development in Brooklyn.

Figuration

Most open space had already become parks and cemeteries; our site is the last big vacant land that is available for development in Brooklyn.

Open Space System

Adjacent to the Coney Island creek, the site locates in an important location in the large hydrological system. The center of the creek was filled in for construction of the Belt Parkway before World War II.

Block Strategy By studying typical models of urban block typologies in our site, different types of urban block prototypes are used to measure the possibility of our strategies. According to the typical urban block scale on site, we choose the scheme of dividing the 450m x 250m super block into six 145m x 145m blocks, which occupies the ground of each public housing and creates new podiums for vibrant public activities. Existing subway infrastructure takes up a 400m length long side of the avenue, which is available to be divided into three 145m long urban blocks with better pedestrian permeability and more flexibility for embedding new programs. Those super-blocks on site will be transformed into open urban quarters via urbanistic approaches above. More street frontages will be created. Several new public spaces will be created and inter-connected into network. Extending and integrating this urbanistic action into adjacent public amenities would create significant anchor points; bring more pedestrian flows and activities over time.

Masterplan The campus, as one entity, connects the creek and beach. It builds interaction between two riverfronts. By reconstructing wetland, the new park will perform as a machine of processing and purifying waste water. New landforms will reduce the visual effect of belt parkway and provide stages for sculpture and temporary activities. A stripe of urban plazas formed by subway terminal and complex of outdoor theatre, institute and commercial, with wetland plaza and the new performance art park, builds pedestrian connection from the creek to the boardwalk. The linear neighbor park performs as corridor from the wetland to the amusement park. New podiums have different programs as museum, library, artist studio and retail. Galleries and new commercials will convert this corner into a new civic urban space.

Aiming to improve the ability of the building surface to absorb the solar radiation and make the heat evenly distributed on the faรงade, a module is developed to populate on the building surface. The module has four variations with different ability of absorbing the radiation. The facade would be divided into units according to the thermograph that analyzed in Ecotect.The facade is connected by a network of irrigation pipes. The Eco-Surface, therefore, is an integrated system that reflects not only the heat accumulation on the building facade, but also the physical characteristic of the wall. Different ways of fabrication were applied to develop the Eco-Surface, including laser cutting, 3D Rapid prototyping and CNC milling. In the process, the possibility of different materials were also carefully examined in order to explore the potential of the design.
