Coastal Construct The two sides of the Harlem River in Manhattan represents our vision of a environmental system that not only facilitates the existing urban fabric to manage water, but also creates a “multi-functional green infrastructure� to celebrate humanity.
Here the park and the architecture is going subtle, land is de�ined by users, excitements are ignited by every citizen. We provide a land that is opening up for possibilities and welcoming everyone. Our goal is to engage the steeply sloped landscape between the city and waterfront in which a network is created for leisure, art, communal activities , agriculture on local plants ,biodiversity and recycle of waste water. Based on a natural system of bifurcation, we have developed an urban esthetic integrated into the natural environment. Visitors to the park engaging the slopes naturally fall into a carefully choreographed display of urbanism juxtaposed against nature and architecture. Academic spaces (education), studios (making), gallery spaces (exhibiting), and landscape (exchange of ideas/generation of new inspirations) are articulated in an arrangement determined by hydrostatic management.
Art and nature is unfolded and mapped on to the entire landscape as independent and yet connected programs. Boundaries of architectures are eliminated and the site is treated as a single artistic incubator nurturing the development of the humanities.

Architecture are designed taking complete advantage of the gradient of the site , run of water in the area and the orientations of the city and the river.
Karbi, Yuet Chan ^ y_u_e_t@yahoo.com.hk
The structural elements of the project are extensions of the landscaping principles and integrate seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
The riversides were fully occupied by foreign fast growing plant species which were brough in half century ago to quickly solve the soil erosion problem following urbanisation along the coast. Here in the park local food agriculture is to be promoted with the erasion of those foreign plant species as local food adapts better in the local air and water. They bring back local animal species and boost biodiversity. Both habitable and esthetically beautiful, the entire complex eciently manages water issues which will provide programed spaces for the foreseeable future.

From an abandoned unused land occupied by foreign plant species, from a steep inaccessible slope cutting the river off from the city, we decided to activate the area so the green can really be enjoyed by the citizens. 17

Architecture disappears when looking from the city towards the rivers. Walking along the coast is like reading the book of American history re�lected by the bridges. Several pyramids join to each other around a dry pond. Interior performance and exterior performance becomes backdrop of each other. Water is being directed to become indoor water feature so to adjust microclimate. Landscape roofs as seating decks spread around the performance spaces as layers of petals.

A Collection of Works THE CITY
Mexico City is undergoing its urbanization under intangible forces - collapse of traditional family structure; raise of individualism; polarization of different income groups; and inevitable densi�ication of buildings over existing urban fabric. The response of architecture to urbanization within such framework is crucial in order to sustain a city with the discourse among social happenings, memories, generations and individuals.
THE APPROACH
Researches on local social structure and trends generate the projection of the future and assumptions for the design, which formed the base of the hypothesis, and was tested on new housing typology as an immediate response to the new urbanism. As a part of the intermediate state of renewing the urban fabric, existing buildings are assumed to be kept and become part of the new building, and characterize the site with constraints and contextual qualities. Generated from the new de�inition of physical “home” – a very basic unit of the society, the design demonstrates the articulation of “home” to form a collective dwelling cluster, of a gesture of the everlasting intermediate state of urbanization.
ON TECTONICS
The design starts from evolving the meaning of “corridor”. It provides functional needs of minimum connectivity between separated rooms, but at the same time having the ambiguity in privacy, openness and unde�ined usages in nature. Out stretching corridors evolve into bridges and gathering spaces, on one hand celebrates an intimate community within the new and old generation; on the other hand emphasizes the importance and privacy of individual units, ful�illing the desire of dynamic equilibrium between individualism and communal intimacy.

Present / Continuous Urbanization Individuals in the first urbanizaton started to set up families in the cities, but humanity change is a non reversable process and people are used to the privacy in individual rooms. So new homes are based on private rooms with corridor and living room as communal space for the family and an outside corridor as communal space with neighbours.

facade of the new development wraps through the old one along the main road.
At the heart of individual’s effort to make sense of experience, to make meaning of life, is the drawing and redrawing of the distinction between self and other. each meaning-making stage is a new solution to the lifelong tension between the universal human yearning to be connected, attached, and included, on the one hand, and to be distinct, independent, and autonomous on the other. The Evolving Self is the story of our continuing negotiation of this tension.

THE THESIS IS TO REVEAL A WORLD OF INTERDEPENDENCY Crisis of the Physical World
Architecture as theatre
Architecture = the way we read space and happenings in relation to the physical body, movements, behaviours, and metaphysical understandings and perceptions.
Indifferent, reductive functionalistic architecture is to be criticized, architecture as theatre will bring back the richness of life and meaning. The theatre as theatre redefines scenarios through bringing users new visions. There will be no show going on but the architecture will function as the show, giving the individuals a never repeating room of imagination, aiming to reveal a new possibility of being or a new understanding of the self to the wholeness. This thesis is rooted in the belief that theatrical narratives can work with architecture’s physicality so to induce the individual to exercise/explore imaginations, associations, meanings, memories, and, eventually, identity, in both individual level and larger scope. The theatre for hypersensing the interfaces is the art which compensates for our uneasy every day.
Architecture can be the media to contain the “extension of the body” and the “extension of the environment”, by redefining the way the architecture acts and creating appropriate setting for different uses. The theatre is happening in this constant definition and redefinition by familiar, yet alienated, readings to environment and happenings around. Performers are the audiences; are the stages settings; are the architecture; are the environment; and situations to be responded to.
Weak material with a weak tectonic, Fiber in/as Architecture
The thesis put focus on researching the nature of fibers - linear, directional, temporary, fragile, responsive, dependent, sensuousness, constantly changing, waiting to be organized and interpreted - instead of the form of loosely laid or weaving strips of elongated materials, fibers can be both structural and selfstanding to create spatial organization and various disposition, giving meaning to a space and at the same time interacting with the users/ being the media between the interactions of users. Further to the study of conveying meanings and creating different settings and possibilities, this thesis also extends the study on the vector characteristics of the fibers to the technical concerns, such as gravity effects on different conditions and materiality. The disposition and layout of the design is a collective outcome of the combination of the giant number of fibers, and each fiber carries social, psychological and physical functions. Fiber architecture should be a mediator of information and amplifier of fantasy.

TESTS ON TECTONICS A weak yet sensitive tectonic is being set into �ield so to create a data processing device of happenings.
Chairs of different height/size/design are included into the system to trigger interaction with children/adults/groups and individuals. Different groups will exert different amount of loads to the �ield and cause different amount of deformation to the well organized regular �ield.

The site is to be understood as two parts:
1. geometrical shape courtyard with low walls around it: more environmental and view factors are triggering the flow of the system 2. rectangular courtyard with architecture around: perceptions of visitors at different levels of the musum complex become the main design concern when setting up the system
