EAST WACKER URBAN COMPLEX In collaboration WITH ANNIE SIT (FALL 2012)
Located at the east end of Upper Wacker Drive, the East Wacker Urban Complex provides amenities for visitors as well as Chicago residents. The design strives to connect the north and south ends of the site as well as its east and west portions. To achieve its first goal, the building reaches over Wacker Dr. using an overpass filled with art exhibits and small food shops. The two towers are connected to each other using cantilevers which contain common functions such as a restaurant, a gym, and a spa. The towers house two different types of hotels: an extended stay hotel on the east and a short stay hotel on the west.

The primary structure of each tower is composed of a series of reinforced concrete columns. These are all moment connected and act as a tube to increase the building’s moment of inertia. To add additional resistance to shear, a concrete core is positioned at one end of each tower. Concrete Columns Steel Trusses concrete caissons Structural Diagram
The two cantilevered bars are supported by 30 ft deep steel trusses. These elements are anchored at multiple locations within the towers in order to reduce the stresses generated at the supports.

East River Aquatic Center
In collaboration with Jordan Tripp (Spring 2014) The East River Aquatic Center is located in Brooklyn, NY and is meant to host the World Swimming Championships. The facility seats 2,000 people and is able to accommodate both swimming and diving events. The main idea behind the design is to encourage an interaction between the neighborhood, the building, and a proposed riverfront park while providing a structure that is both visually interesting and technically innovative. As part of our advanced Structural Planning course, we analyzed and designed the structural system of the building. The main goal was to find a system that not only met the structural requirements of the project, but also worked alongside the architecture to achieve the parti goals. Site Plan
Design the site to relate to the New York grid. Provide a park on one half and situate the building on the other
Raise the nw side to frame the Manhattan skyline while keeping the sW low to relate to the Brooklyn streets
Separate Swimming, diving, and training and derive the building form from the relationships between the three

Structural Analysis The main structural system for the East River Aquatic Center consists of steel trusses that run perpendicular to each other but change in elevation to give the building its distinctive roof shape. Spanning between them are steel wide flanges of varying sizes. An innovative decking system called Kalzip was placed between the secondary members to achieve the desired double-curvature shape of the roof. In order to minimize construction costs and maximize repetition, all trusses and secondary members are optimized. The truss chords are W14x132 while the webs are W/12x59. The secondary members are divided into three groups shown on the next page. METAL STANDING SEAM ROOF MOISTURE BARRIER 6" RIGID INSULATION VAPOR BARRIER STEEL DECKING

Agricultural History Museum (Spring 2013)
The Agricultural History Museum contains exhibits that display the progression of agricultural technology. These include small tools such as the plow and large machines like tractors and combines. The building connects to an adjacent 100 year old grain elevator to show visitors how grains were transported in the past. to better relate to the landscape, the building grows out of the ground with a green roof that connects with the elevator.

TRAVELERS’ Inn (FALL 2013)
The TRAVELERS’ inn SITS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE GEIRANGERFJORD, ONE OF NORWAY’S MOST IMPRESSIVE NATURAL FORMATIONS. DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE KAYAKERS AND FISHERMEN, THE INN HAS 48 SEPARATE SUITES. THE ROOMS include a kitchen, a dining area, a two-story common room, and a lofted bedroom. The south-facing window wall that each building has allows for incredible views of the water. Along with the individual suites, the complex includes a boathouse and a restaurant and lounge that overlooks the other buildings. The materiality of all the buildings is typical of Norwegian architecture: wood and stone dominate the palette. The simple geometric forms are also inspired by the prismatic qualities of both the vernacular and the modern Nordic architecture. Inside the buildings, furniture from alvar Aalto and other Scandinavian designers fills the spaces and completes the experience.

Honduras medical center
In Collaboration with Matthew Barrett, Peter Kao, and Louis Jin (Spring 2012) The region of El Canton houses 1,500 residents who lack access to basic medical services. As part of its mission, Global Architecture Brigades sponsored a competition to design a medical center for residents of the region. The complex will provide vaccinations, medication, and basic health care services to those who cannot ravel to the nearest hospital, which sits over two hours away.
EXCAVATED SOIL
The complex focuses on sustainability and community functions. By using Aggrebind, a binding agent, we proposed reusing earth from the site to construct the retaining wall, roof, and rear building of the complex. The open trussing system allows air to pass through and facilitates natural ventilation. The roofs of the front buildings provide shading and act as gathering spaces which can be used for community meetings, plays, or presentations. USES FOR AGGREBIND

AIRPLANE INSTRUCTIONAL FACILITY (Fall 2011)
The division of spaces within the building is based on their functions and adjacency requirements. The hangar, repair shops, and storage areas form the largest volume. A long linear mass houses the offices, conference rooms, classrooms, and drafting rooms. These two forms are connected by the library and reception areas -- the two spaces which share functions with every part of the building. The hangar is oriented to maximize access to the tarmac, while the office and classroom areas are rotated to take advantage of solar exposure. The library area acts as the pivot around which the form rotates. Thus, it functions as the functional, metaphorical, and physical center of the building.

13TH ARR. GRADE SCHOOL (Spring 2011)
The design of the school was driven by the idea that the classroom is the center of the educational system. Following this premise, similar grade levels are grouped together and stacked in one distinct volume. This mass sits between the administration and playground, and acts as a hinge around which the functions revolve. To give the grade school character, colored louvers are used as shading devices. These elements relate to the neighboring park, which is filled with several kinds of blossoming trees. The louvers are also positioned to resemble a bookshelf filled with children’s books.
