01 QUINCY WATERSHED Ecological development as a catalyst Urban Studio at Harvard Graduate School of Design Academic Work, 2016 Stephen Gray (Instructor) Description The task of the studio was to analyze various aspects of the urban planning environment in Quincy. Through the analysis, the project focuses on 3 major metro stations that connect Quincy to downtown Boston. Students are to propose an urban design along with an implementation plan in the form of a transportation-orienteddevelopment (TOD). Proposition In the late 1960s, the wetlands around North Quincy were paved over, impairing their function to protect the area from flooding and filtering pollution before entry into the Neponset river. This project investigates the idea of a revitalized wetland park as a catalyst for redeveloping there area with a mixture of uses by increasing the real estate value of the land around it. In beautifying the area and providing a crucial infrastructural function, the idea is to project a vision for its potential for transforming the area into an transportation oriented development and urban office campus. The proposal would begin with State Street Corporation, whose property lies between two parts of the Neponset River Estuary Area of Critical Concern. By highlighting State Street’s profile as a community- and ecologically-oriented developer, the opportunity to rebuild the suburban campus as a more-integrated and dynamic urban campus can yield benefits to both the city, the community, and State Street itself.

Much of the extents of the historical wetlands have been paved over to accommodate industrial and business land use, resulting in damage to the local ecosystem and important part of storm water infrastructure. Since the 1950s, the Neponset River Estuary has been heavily polluted. Only recently have efforts been made to protect the estuarine land and life. This goal of this project is to highlight the opportunity for revitalization as it relates to a larger ecological strategy for Quincy.

02 URBAN REPROGRAMMING Highlighting multi-party, urban interventions in Roxbury Studio Provocation at Harvard Graduate School of Design Academic Work, 2015 Ana Gilbert (Instructor) Description The task of the studio was to engage in urban planning-related analysis and propose solutions to identified problems. The area identified for proposals was Roxbury, Boston which has been subject to racial discrimination in zoning practices and several failed development plans in the recent past. Proposition The thesis holds that through the reprogramming of physical space where boundaries do not permit freedom of movement and a sense of ownership, communities can be built around the exterior, solidifying social networks and allowing networks to expand outside of the neighborhood and for institutional links to be made within. A neighborhood that has this kind of network is less vulnerable and more apt to handle development pressures without outright rejection. From this, networks of spaces and communities may be formulated through sharing of resources and institutional foundations and extensions of services. The community as a unit is integral in the building of a larger group within Roxbury and the city itself that could play a larger and more powerful role in directing development and pooling knowledge and resources within their respective communities.

3 Expanding Interests
School summer programs may be set up to engage school-age children and teens in urban mapping. They could be taught what elements in their community to look for and what to map, for instance: fences, ridges, open space, unsafe features, etc.
Neighborhood organizations can form around an engaging participatory process of small-scale planning. The nearness of the analysis and implementation is important in developing a sense of ownership.
Once possible strategies have been formulated, the implementation process would involve the community volunteers, and other organizational volunteering, in conjunction with support from other organizations to construct interventions as well as develop an organizational structure.
Once an organization is established around maintenance, and a sense of ownership is instilled within the community, other actors may be approached or approach the community to invest in the area. The organization and the reprogrammed community are to form a basis for political and social consensus and unit.

03 FLOOD URBANISM Recoding for an alternative high-density community that will flood with sea level rise Studio Provocation at Harvard Graduate School of Design Academic Work, 2014 Timothy Hyde (Instructor) Description The task of the studio was to analyze and ‘peel back’ layers of urban code in order to devise a new rule-set based on a perceived need. A rule-set for this project was devised based on perceived flooding of an area. A new ground is to be made to allow for flooding below, and program to be spread above the old ground, re-imagining how life may be organized in such a system. Proposition Sea level rise and climate change aren’t just a collective crisis, it is a crisis of the collective. How can we collectively act on our responsibility to these issues? Without a meaningful idea and investment in spaces of the commons, what could compel any individuated person to do anything about it? The following projection poses a practical dilemma (dealing with our flooded infrastructure) as one that is a collective crisis, but highlights something much more serious: a crisis of the collective.

Diagram of ‘New Ground’ and Infrastructure
Flooded Ground
The project on the Gowanus Canal is premised by an anticipation of rising sea levels most notably foreshadowed by hurricane Sandy where waters rose and flooded much of the area. While the proposed construction is decontextualizing in one sense (as a strategy for mitigating or addressing climate change) it also becomes a vehicle for a reconfigured effort of contextualization (i.e. registration or appearance of context) as well as a vehicle for altering social-spatial practices and habits in an effort to reformulate community living in a (projected) congested, urban society. With rising sea levels, the infrastructures that sustain urban life are in danger. It is proposed that the infrastructure be transferred upward to avoid its disruption. With the emphasis on infrastructural reorganization, parameters may be paralleled between utility (maintenance and use) and spatial outcome (integration with circulation and programmed space). By necessitating the overall accessibility of mechanicalinfrastructural maintenance, a space opens up for the parallel adjustment of “social space.” By harnessing the parameters of the mechanical-infrastructural in terms of a kind of efficiency and environmental mitigation, the resulting “social space” and the everyday lived experience of the occupants can be fundamentally altered.

04 LAYERED CITY Studio Provocation at Michigan University, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Raoul Wallenburg Competition Honorable Mention Academic Work, 2012 Nahyun Hwang (Instructor) Description The city is a complex organism made up of layers of historical buildup. The buildings mark the changing regulatory environment as well as the technological values of the time. The project is framed as a social intervention which analyzed the existing fabric and regulatory programming of the city. Using Manhattan as a site, the project proposes urban-scale approaches to project change in specific ways. Through an understanding of history, zoning, and reappropriation, the project looks forward to future conceptual interventions as a method of critical inquiry. Proposition Using the current structure of the grid and blocks, the strategy to instigate future diversity will be to reorganize block interiors according to a new organizational structure. The organizational structure of the existing grid and the new one created will create new zoning relationships. The goal is to increase the interactive interface for increasing multi-use space and pedestrian access.

05 COMMUNITY HEALTH A Plan for Management of Chinese Health in Urban Form Studio Provocation at Harvard Graduate School of Design Academic Work, 2015 Leire Asensio Villoria (Instructor), David Mah (Instructor), Ali Karimi (Partner) Description This academic project focused on the Chinese large-block model and subsequently centered in on smaller-scale strategies in order to improve citizen health. Within the studio, various models were devised ranging from residential aggregation to policy objectives. Proposition As China’s development model of superblocks has outpaced the party-state’s social goals, the Chinese Communist Party has placed its focus back into the community. To increase the capacity of the new community administration model, social programs and amenities will need to enter the block. By dispersing social programs such as party offices, health clinics, and healthy spaces, the community center is aggregated throughout the community, instantiating a physical presence in activated space. With dispersion and the removal of block walls, the administrative capacity of the party may enter daily life and provide much needed social harmony to a ruinous marketized system. The method of aggregation would grow to fill out other portions of the community, crossing borders of the xiaoqu development in order to instantiate and link the larger community within itself. The proposed method of service distribution would become the model for ‘community building’ - in an effort to tie many (dispersed) neighborhoods together in a more effective administrative framework.

Ideal Healthcare Referral System (1) from Local Community
(2) to Community Health Center
(3) to City or County Hospital
If the local community block does not already have adequate health services, the local Community Health Center is located within 10 minutes from every community.
To deal with the local patient load adequately, the Community Health Center is the primary care unit. If a specialty care is needed, the Health Center will give a discounted referral to the resident to go to a city, county or specialty hospital.
The large hospital units provide specialty or more intensive care to those who need it, while chronic and less problematic issues are dealt with at the more-local level in a Community Health Center.
(1) from Local Community
(2) not to Community Health Center
(3) to City or County Hospital
Instead of visiting the primary care in the local Community Health Center, residents prefer to make appointments to well-known or high-status hospitals in the region...
The local Community Health Center is usually not visited or is given to inadequate service as residents prefer to go to a hospital with a higher status, disrupting the referral system.
As many residents vie for an appointment, resources may be wasted and time and equipment spent on lesser issues, or issues that may be dealt with in local Health Centers.
Actual Healthcare Referral System

The community health centers were unevenly placed. Many were located at the edge of blocks while others were located deep within them. The sizes and programming also varied leaving various amenities at an unequal distribution throughout each district. The proposed method of aggregation advocates for a dispersed distribution at the local scale where program may be ‘retrofitted’ into the block and throughout each community allowing for more integration with community functions.

07 TURTLE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY Designing homes from houses, and communities for the Turtle Mountain Tribe in North Dakota *Winning entry for the Turtle Mountain Housing Competition Competition, 2015 Chris Reznich, Justin Kollar Description The competition brief called for a proposal for a housing prototype for the Turtle Mountain tribe in North Dakota. The tribe has had bad experiences with modular housing in the past, and seeks a proposal that is sensitive to its needs. People within the tribe live in a precarious position, economically disadvantaged, and call home an unforgiving environment. In the winter, multiple families often share dwellings for warmth and to save on energy costs. Proposition Our proposal calls for more than just a house, but an integrative solution that combines the house with a ‘hoop house:’ a greenhouselike structure that acts as a heat sink and provides heat throughout the winter offering passive strategies that minimize cost, and an expansive strategy to provide a means for food cultivation and job creation, allowing for a lightening of a significant element of the tribe’s economic precarity. The strategy also takes into account the local ecological context, situating the settlements in areas with little damage to the environment while also taking advantage of superior areas for solar gain. As the houses and hoop houses aggregate, they create communities from block formations. The hoop house becomes the foundational connector of neighborhoods. Originally employed for purely horticultural ends, the thermal modulation can be employed to accommodate innumerable additional communitarian programs. While basic horticultural function scales from single-kitchen vegetable gardens or a grandmother’s flower bed up to production of boutique, value-added goods, the flexible, semi-conditioned interior can be appropriated as cafes, sports fields, swimming pools, indoor parks, etc. Thus, the system can simultaneously provide healthy, fresh produce and free space for an active lifestyle to the larger Turtle Mountain community all throughout the winter.

63 As the primary shelter for the family, the house is also the foundation for productive life. In caring for one’s beloved, the house becomes the home - a sanctuary for belonging and an expression of identity. Yet, rich civic life requires an extension of the independent life beyond the home. In an effort to accommodate this extension, we propose the addition of a hoop house - a simple yet underutilized environmental technology. As an historical cold-climate adaptation, hoop houses use inexpensive and easy-to-find materials to trap heat from solar radiation and slowly release it through cold nights, thus moderating temperatures and extending growing seasons. Consisting simply of a thick plastic film stretched over a modular skeleton and any high thermal mass material (water, vermicompost [exothermic!], and simple biomass are most common), hoop houses are easy to construct, deconstruct, reconfigure, reuse, and recycle. Though virgin plastics have a high embodied energy, the low energy cost of recycling dramatically reduces this value over total lifespan. By coupling the hoop house with a heat exchanger in the prototype wall system, excess heat that would typically be vented to the environment can be harvested in order to raise ambient temperatures in the home, reducing the length of time the home requires active heating. Hay bales, used both as biomass in the hoop house and as a primary insulating material within the prefabricated timber-frame wall unit, becomes a dynamic material. As the site can supply large quantities of hay locally, the material is integral to the entire system. The repeatable wall unit, assembled almost exclusively from materials available on or near the Reservation, becomes a building block for multiple variations of housing forms and extended family arrangements.

10 LANDSCAPE: COLONIZATION/ CULTIVATION Collective Memory and the Politics of the Taiwan Sugar Corporation 台灣糖業公司的地理文化、歷史記憶與政策治理 Research Project at Harvard Graduate School of Design *Penny White Travel Fund Project *Awarded Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies Summer Grant Independent Academic Work, 2016 David Syn-chee Mah (Advisor) Description This project investigates various sites where Taiwan’s sugar industry had operated under Japanese colonial rule and was consolidated into the state-owned Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) under Chinese Nationalist rule. These sites are located within factory districts where land has been redeveloped and undergone planning processes in recent years; preserved in “cultural parks,” biotechnology parks, museums, and artistic hubs. The project has cataloged various sites, landscapes, and surrounding communities around the old sugar factory districts in order to make legible complex political processes and a project of governance through an institutional lens. Furthermore, the documentation highlights the process through which landscapes of production have been transformed into landscapes of culture, making visible the histories of extractive industries, agriculture, and the relationship between the state, concepts of the nation, and its people. The following representations are a portion of the graphic production within the research project, comprised of photographic work, mapping, and diagrams.

The Taiwan Sugar Company (TSC) is the largest landowner in Taiwan. Many large-scale projects undertaken in Taiwan have been built on TSC land. As the governing party shifts, a new agenda for these projects inevitably falls within TSC land and results in various types of projects ranging from museums to ecological and forest parks.

The TSC is essentially a state-owned enterprise where 97% of the ownership resides in the National Government and managed under the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Given this arrangement, the elected government of Taiwan (R.O.C.) is able exercise power over the dealings of the company through the president’s and party’s selection of appointees to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the president’s nomination of the Chairman of the board where the members of the Ministry of Economic Affairs will vote for the position. While realestate development still plays a major role in the company’s dealings, the government will plan much of the development agenda including major projects such as the High-speed Rail, the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, community development, etc.
