NARROW RAISED COMPLEX Given Condition
The downtown Denver site is located between two multi-story buildings. The site is where these two buildings’ underground parking lot driveway is at. Therefore, the site’s ground features such as garage doors, dumpster, and others cannot be removed.
Tasks
Design a series of photo studies to understand the site’s contextual information. Design a private complex for artists or architects who include exhibition area, studio space, residential space, and others without any direct contact on the ground. Design a building that does not touch any existing historic symbol on neighbor buildings.

Use tinted (mechanical) glazing, wall on the central part of building to allow natural light throughout the building. Functional areas such as kitchen, guest room, private office are located on river side of the building where has a view to enjoy and allow natural ventilation & light. Vertical shafts – elevator and stairs - are located on the main street side to have a great view toward downtown and a sun room for winter.

APARTMENT IN THE CLIMATE Given Condition
Design agenda and basic apartment unit layout are given by architectural firm. Based on the agenda, multi-family housing must be designed in “Platform� style of house for more than 250 units. The site and contour information are picked up within Texas, where the contour is not raised up and down that much and have a creek on the north side. Chosen climate is located in zone 6: Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Tasks
Design a climate adaptive multi-family housing based on climate and energy data for climate 6 (cold climate).
Standard units and standard apartment are designed based on the firm’s given agenda to find out energy use, according to location and orientation with E-Quest software. Then, climate information is gathered by Climate Consultant software to analyze climate-adaptive strategies based on Building Energy Code for saving energy in cold climate. 12
13
Each apartment block has covered atrium at the center for having a controlled outdoor space for winter and preventing losing heat during winter. Central atrium space is covered with the glazing roof that is operable for air ventilation and prevention of a heat pocket during summer. Between apartment blocks, outdoor activity spaces such as pool, playground, and outdoor kitchen are located for enhancing quality of family life within the apartment complex.

LIBRARY WITHIN CONTEXT Given Condition
The site is a flat grassless area next to Texas Tech University’s Urban Tech Studio. The Urban Tech Studio is off-campus and re-used building: turning the old fireplace into the small studio building. Moreover, many of near buildings are under historic preservation program.
Tasks
Design a secured public library and exhibition building for “Frist Friday Trails” within historic rehabilitated building sites for school. Design a building that responds to its context and relationship with Urban Tech Building. Solve problem with dust storm and noise from highway right next to the site.

Different types of glazing allow monitored daylight into the building for utilizing natural ventilation and daylight to improve reading spaces for students and save energy. Green roof and perforated/solid wall screen are used to prevent any excessive heat gain through roof and wall. Water feature like the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth is 18
used to reduce dirt from dust storms. This water feature is set up to control humidity for creating more comfortable conditions for outdoor reading areas and allows reflected light to lighten up interior spaces. 19

DIGITAL & MULTI-MEDIA
Digital drawings use a laser cutter to create physical models in accurate scale with detailed lines by scoring on the material for studying actual light effects of the building. The physical model is built up to explore the relationship with neighbor building.
23
The overall design is done with Revit, then detailed features are developed with various software: Revit, CAD, and illustrator enhance quality of details’ presentations.
DIGITAL MEDIA 1 Conversion to Digital Drawings
Understanding printed original drawings, then converting into digital for creating additional 2D and 3D drawing sets.
24 25
DIGITAL MEDIA 2 Modes of Digital Expression
Convert simple physical element and explore its dynamical changes. This physical element is converted into a digital model to analyze how it changes over rotating, repeating, layering, twisting, bending, and so on for producing more complex components.
Simple form elements are transformed through various steps and jointure is added for creating complex component.
Using repeatable geometry and various versions of it based on amount light that can go through them to create a fabricated facade.
