Self Portrait： think that my mission as a designer and artist is to expand the social impact of the "subjective consciousness" of design, to break the boundaries between architecture and art, and to allow every ordinary person to find inspiration in their lives.

1. Who am I, Where I belong to?

2. What I experienced?

CO-OP SYRACUSE ARCHITECTURE FALL 2022 [OCT. 15 -DEC. 05]

Location: Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans, LA Program: Music CO-OP

At the beginning of the design, I learned from Junya Ishigami’s KIE Workshop that the thin columns symbolizing trees were used to define free space, thus breaking the concept of fixed and rigid space. also learned about Norell & Rodhe’s Nine Room, which uses irregular shapes to represent the shapes of Jewish houses in the past so that people can commemorate the history on a deeper level when they are in the space.

These two points were applied to the subsequent Site research on the Lower Ninth Ward area of New Orleans. explored the reasons for the deep poverty in this area from multiple perspectives, such as history, population, nature and existing planning. learned about the unique local culture and its potential, especially the native nature worship and jazz culture. Therefore, I defined CO-OP as a music space and added the residents’ urgently needed convenience store.

Based on the previous analysis of local houses, defined the main Spaces such as a jazz performance space, live music house, drama box, children’s activity centre and grocery store with irregular shapes. Then I shaped the open free play with the traction line that can make sound along with the wind. The steel structure at the top is defined by different forces according to the layout of the space. The overall building reflects the idea of “originating from nature”. The comprehensive building is supported by the irregular shape of the tree, symbolizing the trees that save people in floods. The traction line pulls the ground platform, and underneath is the purification tank connecting the house and the Mississippi River. To alleviate the poor water quality and improve people’s health.

At the same time, the design across N Claiborne Ave breaks down the wealth inequality and discrimination caused by the segregation of the block. The plan will allow the residents of the whole area to gain their own identity while fundamentally addressing their needs, reflecting the site’s spirit and metabolism.
