01.UPSPEEDY HUB "New species of logistic building"
Architecture Studio in 1st Semester 09.2019-12.2019 Instructor: Nate Hume Location: Manhattan, New York, the United States 40°43'39"N 74°00'34" W Architecture Design Site Area: 10300 m2 Team Work Collaborators: Dani Zheng, Gordon Cheng
Design Description: This studio speculates that a new typology can help sustain New York City’s financial global leadership in the world. Large logistic firms cannot solely rely on air or ground transportation with the uncertainty of political pressures that affect the prices of goods and services. New York and other cities need to re-invent existing networks to be able to compete with trade barriers that are cumbersome and willfully destroying the growth of the economy. The future brings with it new opportunities that fuse the building office and cargo transit. To add to a versatile and robust manufacturing agenda in existing networks in logistic system. UPS can gain a better workflow by allowing for new opportunities that extend their networks into facilities that aid in the development of quick prototypes for each point on their network, reducing the cost of shipment internationally and hence making pricing cost effective with a quick turnaround.

02.PRINTINMANIA "Printing machine in urban context"
Architecture Studio in 2nd Semester 01.2020-05.2020 Instructor: Robert Stuart-Smith Location: Brooklyn, New York, the United States 40°44'28"N 73°56'15" W Architecture Design Site Area: 5140 m2 Team Work Collaborators: Jordan Zhong, Youyu Zhang
Design Description: The studio investigate an additive manufactured architecture that leverages material dynamics and novel approaches to temporary formwork in order to produce prototypical scaled building elements. The project explores a new typology for a 3D-printing factory, with the purpose of branding itself both as a leading role in the industry by introducing new manufacturing modes, but also in the community by building a technological culture district. Inspired by Nervi’s structural bay, the building was supported by diamondlike columns that form the space of floors, mezzanines, and valleys. Such spatial strategy realizes the co-working of people and machines under the new-tech context. The exterior was composed of consistent panels and gyroid components which added additional attributes to the facade. Bridging to the adjacent buildings provides more engagement to the area on the urban scale. With an impact on the community, the factory shapes another kind of future for people living in the industrial district by uniting the production and community activities.
3D-PRINTING STORE SCENARIOS
SITE STRATEGY Shapeways is a leading enterprise in 3D-printing industry. Its fabrication space lands in Brooklyn, New York. The project is a renovation connected the community by being an innovation center rather than just a factory. The aim is to promote and brand the enterprise as a local flag-ship store.

PLAN OF CONSTRUCTION
HUMAN PERSPECTIVE The design of elevation uses 3d-printed metal blending in with metal panel. The unit is a normal kind of support infill used in 3d-printing. The element not only brands the building as a flag-ship printing factory, but also adds fun to the original elevation design. Moreover, the 3d printed metal is not solid piece, thus allowing for better ventilation and lighting. Glass glaze on the first floor allows for showing items for exhibition. Also, it makes the building have more accessibility. Though the 3d-metal, light in the factory can penetrated through the atmosphere, making it more interactive in the eyes of people on the street. The transit is minor with detail fading in and out on the white elevation, which maintains a integrated manner for exterior. The three bridges branch respectively to manufacturing lab, printing shop and cafeteria, which correspond to the function on each floor. Entrances on the ground level are designed according to the adjacent buildings in the community, providing the neighborhood with technological education program.
03.UBEART™ CENTER "Uber and art hybridazation"
Architecture Studio in 3rd Semester 09.2020-12.2020 Instructor: Robert Stuart-Smith Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the United States 39°57'34"N 75°09'22" W Architecture Design Site Area: 2400 m2 Team Work Collaborator: Huajie Ma
Design Description: At the mention of urban design, one conjures up images of public plazas, tree-lined streets, pedestrian sidewalks, or rows of houses or office blocks. However, these near-permanent physical attributes of cities are increasingly backstage to more hidden operational aspects of urban environments. So we use Machinic inSites to explore high-frequency building – a temporary occupancy of the built environment that can be rapidly developed through computer vision and machine learning technologies and implemented by additive manufacturing on-demand. Operating as a bespoke tailored infill, proposal speculates on community-led entrepreneurialism, challenging established design and development practices through novel forms of autonomous agency and aesthetic affects.Our engaging to the site is a part of the untouched railway, an unused land of bushes, and an unrenovated parking lot. As Uber has several greenlight hub that are used for providing aids for uber drivers and enable the company to communicate with its employees and the communities. While innercity land is expensive to lease, Uber has negotiated a temporary lease without fees to Philadelphia's rail park district in exchange for providing public outdoor space and a cultural gallery.
BESPOKE TAILORED INFILL The UBEART™ Center is a temporary Uber services center combined with art galler y. A s U ber Center can provide necessary assistance for the drivers, it also become the destination for drivers to engage to local art works. Local artist could express their thoughts in this UBER&ART Center. Either attracting more people to see their works on site or been delivered to more places by Uber drivers.
In relation to site feature with machine vision, we utilized some custom computer vision and multi-agent design methods for generating an initial 3d design from a 3d site scan. We then developed a back-and-forth dialogue between multiple iterations of explicit design by us and machine vision and learning. Our interest was in leveraging machine perception to interpret what we were doing and to contribute further to the design.

SECTION A-A' There are four main functions in the building: art gallery, walkable landscape, uber center and cafeteria. This view shows how the building connects to ground and railway bridge.
MELTING BRIDGE Dynamic motion flows on the exterior facade, Smoothly transit from the rail park to ground level on street side, multi-color gives an heterogeneous reading as a polyvalent object Composed to have swirls outside over the railway bridge. From the view on the street, pedestrains can see the building grow out from the original part with refreshing color and pattern. With bumps and printing detail , the 3d-printed buiding is like melting on the previous structure. Built in proper phases, it aligns with the spread of bridge in its structural layer, while gradually land on to the ground on the near side.
WALKABLE LANDSCAPE The project features a hybridization of landscape and building. Unlike large-scale urban design, this project conjures up images of bars, pedestrian sidewalks, and outdoor stairs in one. In this sense, the building lose a clear definition of inside and outside. Addition of the building transfers the used railway into an elevated park. The Interior and exterior of the landscape ramp generates a refreshing sensing for walking above and under, in which unites the field and landscape, the artificial and nature, the nonhuman and human.
ART GALLERY -1st Floor&Mezzanine The chunk model showing the roof in relation to the interior program space. Since 3D printing would be used for this project, different parts would be prefabricated in factory so that saving construction time on site. The methods for the construction are lenticular printing, it is an emerging technique that contains a color shifting quality. Aesthetics are also impacted by the fact that Machine vision sees things differently, and highlights different features to focus on. we leverage this in the design workflow as is shown in some art works in the renderings below. It results in a design expression that does not maintain established focal points of classical architecture. It is more of immersive and less elemental , more expansive in affect.
UBER™ CENTER -2nd Floor The gallery space under the rail park providing exhibition zone for local artists while the uber center above providing resting space for uber drivers. The railway is going to be a city park according to plans from government. The building could be a important design node in the park for providing services. As is shown in the interior view, the colorful ceiling shimmers differently from different angle when looking above, like walking in an art piece. Lenticular printing uses resin as a material, such advanced design makes the recyclability possible. During the construction, there is no waste. After certain period, the whole building could be paved with park facilities.
04.NESTIMBER "Timber shell constructed by algorithm"
Course Study in 3rd Semester 09.2020-12.2020 Instructor: Masoud Akbarzadeh Course: Geometric Structural Design Python-based Script Structural Design and Fabrication Team Work Collaborator: Yiding Wang
Design Description: The project is designed based on the structural relations in compression-only poly frame. With timber as the main material, the design dig into detail of the node and timber bar to construct a corresponding relationship between the forces and the parts. With the help of equilibrium analysis, this method could be elaborated to double-layer or multi-layer shell. Its parametric characteristics make it possible to apply to all compression-only shell or equivalent structure. The shell can be fabricated by 3-axis milling machine and installed on sites. Started by a single node design using polyhedral funicular structure, the logic grows from point to 2D linear structure(bridge), and finally towards 3D structural shell. Classified every element in python makes it constructed-possible for any funicular form. Using the same method, a myriad of equivalent structural design could be realized as well.
CODING PRINCIPLES

The parametric model is constructed using Rhinopythonsyntax. Assisted by prototype in grasshopper, python files allow for more exlicit expression of its logic and formation. PolyFrame can get the basic information of the node, including vertexs, edges, and faces. To build a parametric model, a series python scripts were written to collaborate in one file as has shown. The relationship of each node could be transformed into the shape of timber structure. The file is universal to all compression-only structure, hence it has its leading advantage over traditional parametric design.

FORMATION OF THE NODE
First, we think about the shared faces of a node, and according to the faces shared by any two of the line, we offset all the boundary lines inward along the surface to determine the direction of the rod.Then we create wooden rods based on these lines and the directions of the wooden rods always follow the directions of surfaces and their normal.And then, center rods are connected in an elegant way.Finally connect center rods with timber rods by wooden bowls. Steps shows all of the components making up a single node.
FUNICULAR ANALYSIS OF SHELL By subdividing a pentagon, a centered figured is formed as the 2D force diagram. Once extruding all the edges to a point selected, a 3D force diagram is composed. Through the cells in 3D diagram, the center of each cell can be found. After con-necting the node, it is easy to get a funicular form perpendicular to the faces of force diagram. Finally, A possible funicular shell fit into this force condition is made .
