This project explores the identity of Ireland through a facade design, and furthermore investigates in the relationship between public and private spaces in a consulate building. The struggle in this project is to allow light into the offices and at the same time diverts the southern light. An auditorium is situated as an object intruding the atrium, which allows as much light in as possible. Curvilinear panels are hung from the glass roof, responding to the object below. The object is visually floating from street level.

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.

r oa d h ou se on 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?

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.

“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.

shift c o n c ep t u al m o d el AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM | NYC This model derives its concept from the shift in levels and spaces in the American Folk Art Museum in NYC. Wood panels are fixed restricted to shift in three direction in space. On one side, wood panels are fixed; on the other side “movable” panels shift out from the voids. The issue of mass vs. planes is emphasized on both sides of the model

Three major masses were shifted to create three major program spaces. The folding surfaces continued on as a grand stair down to the big public space and out to the street
