01 COMMUNAL TECHNOLOGY C H I C A N O A R T S C H O O L F O R H I S PA N I C COMMUNITY IN EAST LOS ANGELES Spring 2021 Fundamental Studio / Collaboration with Philip Shores Site Location: Boyle Heights, LA Instructor: Luis Pancorbo / UVA The project scope understood the crucial necessity to preserve the traditional activities and keep alive the artistic expression of street murals, local art and crafts, and cultural activities (like the Mariachi's) of Boyle heights. With that, the design takes up the role of infrastructure by establishing a modular system that frames the responsibility to increase the community's capacity to express and manifest themselves. COMMUNAL TECHNOLOGY believes Architecture as Infrastructure; structure is architecture. As an urban infrastructure, this building develops new quality-public spaces and engages the existing urban sequences and flows. As a community building, the design aims to attract more public engagement by designing an interactive stair inside the school. Reaching the maximum area requirement, this building also creates a new public platform in different elevations for the community.

Boyle Heights has significant cultural and artistic manifestations that paint and frame the Hispanic community's history. To avoid gentrification and art washing, it is necessary to preserve the cultural aspect by keeping alive the artistic activities of street murals and local art and crafts. With limited infrastructure and public resources, the neighborhood community seems isolated from other districts. Public platforms in different elevations help to restore the connection and interaction with surrounding resources. 4
An infrastructural building will provide technology, gathering and production spaces that promote art and engagement.

In order to build a consistency with the neighborhood scale, the transparency allows the program inside the building to be our façade, showcasing the production and activities happening inside. These perceptible red circulation volumes are also given a similar scale to the housing around.

This proposal has three main components: structure system, vertical circulation and facade envelope. A basic metallic structural module of 10 by 10 meters, where the module supports infrastructural as to spatial needs of the proposal.

02 COMMUNITY CORRIDOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOCUS ON CONNECTION A N D C U LT U R E D I V E R S I T Y I N W E S T H A R L E M Fundamental Studio / Collaboration with Zihe Ye Fall 2020 Site Location: Manhattanville, NY Instructor: Ali Fard / UVA According to the investigation of the existing functions around the site, we believe that the site has the potential to develop into a combination of cultural creativity, commercial facilities and affordable housing. In this scheme, connection and diversity become the design clues. Combined with landscape design, this COMMUNITY CORRIDOR first connects the elevation difference between the east and the west of the site, forming an internal corridor suitable for walking through continuously. Secondly, this corridor provides a cultural and commercial media shared by surrounding artists and community residents. Open spaces are distributed vertically, which provide a good impetus for artists’ creation and display, and provide opportunities for public participation in art.

Site Analyses and Intervention Site research indicates that this affordable housing program needs to make good use of surrounding landscape and cultural resources. To solve the "dead end" dilemma on the site, the intervention relies on a connection to the surrounding manufacturing district by understanding its community history. 15

03 AC C O M M O DAT I O N I N H U I TO N G A DIFFUSED HOTEL FOR TRADITIONAL VILLAGE R E V I VA L A N D H I S TO R I C A L I N T E R P R E TAT I O N Graduation Project / Individual Work Spring 2017 Site Location: Guangdong, China Instructor: Feng Jiang / SCUT The most attractive but also the most elusive feature in Huitong village is its multi-layer history. Aging and hollowing out phenomena cause decline in Huitong. Idyll tourism is popular among cities these days. However, tourists are more likely to just hurriedly glance over Huitong than find something of a bore. The key to regeneration is to make this hodgepodge of buildings readable for outsiders. A diffused hotel allows economic development while avoiding depopulation and recession in Huiton. Managed and cultivated by its own villagers, this hotel attracts people to explore its profound history.

Decipher Construction Logic: Topography, Housing Types And Modular Size To add another new layer on Huitong, it is important to deduce the process of construction. Huitong village is located in Zhuhai city which is about 11.5km of the Pearl River Estuary. Learning from historical documents, field research, and community engagement activities, Huitong has inherited the constant structure and developed new buildings atop from the former structure.

The old house includes a common area shared with the host and a private bedroom, while the main hall is reserved as it is the core space in the traditional building. The side hall is adapted to vertical traffic space and connects with a common room, a garden, a bathroom and two bedrooms. 31

04 NEW PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AXIS A FLEXIBLE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM BASED ON MOBILITY IN JAIPUR Research Studio / Individual work Fall 2021 Site Location: Jaipur, India Instructor: Maria Gonzalez Aranguren, Pankaj Gupta / UVA The New Public Transportation Axis proposes a systemic, continuous, and sustainable traffic network to benefit both local communities and tourists in Jaipur based on the possible aggregation of modular urban furniture. Now, the lack of an overall transit planning vision exacerbates traffic problems and imposes limitations on urban development in Jaipur. Based on organizing principles of Movement and Place*, this new 13.5km transportation axis is divided into four types according to different road types. The design of flexible modular urban furniture is easy to construct, and replicable. Different combinations of these units can activate a diverse set of public programs.

Movement and Place Strategy Roads are divided into four types based on two elements: Movement and Place. Movement quality, the M, usually refers to the subjective experience of travel time, cost, and traffic mode. And the place quality, the P, includes concerns on built environment, activities, safety, and health. 36
