FAMILY STRUCTURE
Beyond the prospect of creating an iconic spectacle that represents the livelihood of Charlotte is an underlying need to address the many social issues plaguing cities across the nation. Specific to Charlotte, income inequality, family structure, access to education, social equity, and a lack of geographic racial distribution are all contributing factors to the worst upward social mobility of any major US city. The mixed-use program of this building provides resources to affected communities on many levels. Affordable housing units address a lack of diversification within uptown and offer greater access to necessary resources such as transit, while retail units focus on educating and promoting local, small and minority businesses.

This mixed-use building sits within the larger context of a future transit-oriented development on the western side of uptown Charlotte called the Gateway District. Found in this area of the city are Bank of America Football Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, Truist Baseball Field, home of the Charlotte Knights, Romare Bearden Park and a countless number of bars and restaurants. Within the coming years, the Gateway District will become the main point of entry and departure for visitors to the city and continue to develop as a center for entertainment and nightlife.

HUNTERSVILLE
In 2014, Charlotte ranked last among the 50 largest US cities and Mecklenburg 99 out of 100 North Carolina counties in upward social mobility. Strong correlations were found between where in the city one lives and their access to economic opportunity. While one building does not have the ability to fully correct these issues, both the program and form begin to draw attention to the many factors that contribute to a lack of social mobility in Charlotte.

A skyscaper located off E 6th St. and N. Tryon St. in Charlotte, NC. The Skyscaper is located at the heart of Uptown Charlotte and sits adjacent to the historical Carolina Theatre as an extension of the theatre. The building consists of educational spaces such as a research library and study rooms as well as several performance spaces for dance and theatre with spec office on the top levels. The use of open floor plans encourages the occupants to move through the space horizontally and the organization of the floors encourages vertical movement as well. Due to constraints of the site the south-facing side of the building staggers horizontally and vertically to allow for more space on each of the floors. Also the staggering provides space to introduce terraced ecosystems that create a space for the program to flow out onto but also to collect rainwater. On the street side of the building is adorned with a tessellated skin that filters natural light while also allowing for articulated views of the city.

A Community Center with a coworking space and a fabrication lab located in Noda, Charlotte, NC off of the 36th St. lightrail stop. The focus of the project was to create more green space in Charlotte. However, the location of the site is in direct sunlight so the Community Center is located on the edge of the site adjacent to the street to provide shade to the other side of the site, where the green space is. The building consists of one big volume propped up by two smaller ones to provide shaded occupiable spaces as well direct connection to the green space from the sidewalk. The division of the volumes also allows for multiple entries into the building one from the street and one from lightrail. The smaller volumes are made of concrete to support the bigger volume which consists of glass and trusses which creates a lightbox effect at night.

[ MECHANIZED VOYAGE ] FALL 2018 // MICHAEL CLAPP A Center for Wooden Boats located on Lake Union Park, Seattle, WA and consists of a Boat Craft: Longhouse, Hall, and Learning Workshop, an Exhibition Space, a Learning Center, and Administration and Public Facilities. The project was focused on activating certain components that were scattered around the site therefore, those components were provided with alternative functions to allow those areas to be used and occupied differently than their current use. The focus of this project was on the structure as well as the understanding of the production and history of boats. As a result, the structure for the Boat Craft building consisted of heavy steel wide flanges to allow the transportation of the boats onto the lake while the Learning center and Admistration buildings were timber roof trusses reinforced with steel plates and the Exhibition space was made of open webbed joists. The use of materials was focused on the historical structure used in traditional longhouses as well as the function of the space.

[ REFLECTED MOTION ] FALL 2017 // CATTY DAN ZHANG A dance and meditation studio located on Jackson Park, Chicago, IL. The project was about utilizing the openess and location of the site by emphasizing the views out onto Lake Michigan and towards the Chicago skyline, while having an open floor plan to allow for any type of dance or meditation. It consists of three connected volumes, which border the coast of Lake Michigan, and an outdoor amphitheatre. The use of glass on the exterior adjacent to the lake as well as a reflective ceiling to allow for the occupants to not only see the view onto the lake but also feel immersed in the site.

[ CURRENTS ] FALL 2017 // CATTY DAN ZHANG The project was to create a Shallow relief that combined concepts from two found objects into one cohesive relief. The objects combined in the shallow relief were an ice cube tray and a leaf and focused on the flow and storage of water of each of the objects. It also focused on the reflectivity and translucency and how the flow of water affected that. The project consists of a transparent acrylic box with containers on one side to represent the storage of water and the metal wires going up and down through the acrylic to mimick the motion of water as it hits objects that affect the flow. The attachment of the clear film and mylar are to represent the reflectivity and tranlucency of light hitting the water and the flow can alter it.
