This project investigates the spatial hybrids that defy traditional programmatic disciplinary typologies in the built urban environment. The West Chelsea area in NYC is a special zoning district with the High Line is next to the site. We (as private developers) propose am entertainment complex combining two major components: sport and aqua. With the high line park being converted from train rails and people coming to exercise on the train tracks; hydro-gym is a multi-leveled sport facility surrounding with an giant aquatic volume penetrating through the building. The form has edges of extrusion that emerge/ meet at one line and the other side where the edges are rotated and diverged. this form performs as a module that is repeated, rotated and stacked together. Then three squared extrusions are cut and subtracted off the overall form in different orientation. These squared cuts become voids that performs as the aquatic elements in the building.

The site is located in a steep slope between two pin points: Piazzale Michelangelo and Porta San Niccolo, with the former being transformed into a giant parking lot and the latter, used to be a city gate and has been transformed into another parking space. There is a long promenade between the two pin points; however, the promenade is often disturbed by roads and cars. While an urban issue being addressed, I propose a micro units housing that could help resolve the problem. This project proposes an elevated promenade that connects the two pin points, providing a continued undisturbed views of the city as one travels up or down. Car traffics will be separated from the pedestrians; and the public travelers will also be separated from private housing users. This is a formal project that analyzes the site. A strip, performing as a wall that separates the units and the long corridor, curves and turns at major “hinges� and eventually inserts in to the slope. A flexible folding skin that could open to the exterior and becomes a shading device; and also folds inwards to provide voids that frames the city from Piazzale Michelangelo.

02| “street in the sky” ROOSEVELT ISLAND | NEW YORK CITY INSTRUCTOR : ELIZABETH KAMELL This is a housing project that locates on the east side of the Roosevelt Island, facing Queens in New York City. This project analyzes the streets in a social sense. People interactions and social events occur in the streets. This project brings streets up in the sky; in other words, streets, long endless corridors, are being elevated up connecting the major social spaces. Then packages of residential units are arrayed along the “street” and form double-loaded corridors. Each package has a entry area that the “street” extends into. In the end, series of residential blocks are then connected with corridors and form a network of social events.

03| roa d h ou se o n I - 9 0 INTERSTATE 90 | MONTANA STATE INSTRUCTOR : ROGER HUBELI Interstate 90 runs across the United States, linking from Seattle , Washington to New York State. The site of this project is located along I-90 in Montana State where two contrast types of land textures and systems are met: the irrigation fields and the rocky mountains. One is a human made system, forming large clusters of circles on the land; and the latter is resulted from natural transformation of the site, where water travels down from the mountain ultimately forming the dendritic patterns on the landscape. The road house performs as a rest stop on the highway that responds to the landscape. The program of the road house consists of gas stations, convenient stores, and parking spaces for trucks and cars. This project explores the duality of the landscapes of the site and acts as a water collecting and draining structure. The structure is constructed in various combination of the modules. The design of the module is a combination of both the irrigation and dendritic patterns. The module also has slopes and slots that allow water to flow down into the ground. Finally, What patterns would this proposed structure create to the land?

By drawing and tracing over them, the underlying systems of forms, angles, and symmetry. The drawing is then abstracted into series of diagrams that ultimately describe the structure of the drawing. Furthermore, 2-d and 3-d projections are abstracted and produced from the analytical diagram.

05| e r o d e d b oat h ouse ONONDAGA LAKE | SYRACUSE | NEW YORK INSTRUCTOR : ROGER HUBELI The site is located on Onondaga Lake of Syracuse; it is a polluted lake since the salt industry was operated by it. This project focuses on the geological evolution of area around the lake. Little drumlins are formed when glaciers “scratch� away the ground. This project is an experiment and expression of the erosion occurred around the site. Stones collected in the area are stacked to form an enclosed space that is independent and close to the shore. Little voids and spaces are carved inside the mass for the views and With the polluted water hitting on the stone, the stones would be gradually eaten and eroded away. Erosion of stones occurred from rain water dripping from the roof and lake water.

A vertical zone is created by the multiple usages of tubes which created flexibility, variety and lightness. As traveled up in the zone, one can sense the relationship with the surrounding especially the interactions between the people live there. By letting people up in the air, a relationship is created between the seeing and to be seen. And the use of transparent tubes would create a interactive shield between them. Tubes are loosely stretched on the elevation facing the annex so people could stretch them open. Moreover, the tubes could be used to collect and carry water to the plants. Multiples of inventive ways could be produced by the flexibility of the tubes. Seating areas and plantings could be places on the plates hung from tubes. This zone is occupied vertically by the plants and people.

75 _ ONGOING THESIS
American Trucking Industry Advertisement 1950
+ | p r i vat e r o o m o n th e w h eel The American highway is nationly used for commerce and commuting, but it creates diverse lifestyles as well. The cross-country highway and road trip are deeply rooted in the American psyche, supported the vast Federal Highway Network and the rapid growth in ownership of automobiles by American families since the 1940s, establishing a sense of freedom in their mobile lifestyles. Other highway users have less control over their daily routine. Truck drivers spend a majority of their times on the road, while the remaining part of their day is spent sleeping in fixed truck cabins or eating at all-night truck stops. This thesis reconsiders the truck stop along the U.S. freeways, by studying the transport network at multiple scales, including truck drivers’ daily routines and their live-work practices. The truck stop’s narrow focus on providing limited and costly services to truck drivers, constitutes a missed opportunity to re-conceive of such infrastructure, as well as the truck cabin itself as flexible and transitory. Connected by the existing American highway network, these infrastructures should not only better address truck drivers’ needs, but can promote a transitional lifestylebased on mobility. This thesis proposes the truck stop as a core element of a future instant city designed to create a new transient dwelling lifestyle.
