lschan01@syr.edu | +44 07835 224785 | 2 Exmouth Mews, London, UK, NW1 2HT I believe that architecture is a process where design attempts to tackle issues of the current social and physical needs of our times which are are influenced by the tradition and filaments of our past. By pushing through the constrains and conflicting interests towards an ideal balance of practical solution and aesthetic beauty, the arduous journey is what makes it all the more worthy, influential and inspirational.

DEISGN STRATEGIES PROPOSED GUIDELINES FOR USER-SITE INTERACTIVITY
To allow people experience conditions necessary for fish cultivation, these habitats are dynamic and changing according to the different life stages and breeding seasons of the fish. Therefore, our hatchery is reconfigurable to accommodate this need. Fish instinctively seek out crevices as shelter from stronger water and to hide from predators, correspondingly, our structure acts as a reef with various coves, to which independent floating stations are attached. Fishes and humans are integrated and “embedded” within the environment for a seamless educational experience of the fish life-cycle. People are encouraged to experience the river through movement on floating barges throughout the site. Terrain is sculpted to mimic rocky reefs and create surfaces for vegetation to grow. Shallow water is also provided for children to wade and play in. Climate control façades for the building collect solar energy power the filter and bubble system that oxygenate the various hatcheries.

EXPANSION/ CONTRACTION
SPRING Acts as hatchery, close control and monitoring of fish habitats. Expansion of flotation platforms as barrier from high water speeds.
SUMMER Lengthened walkways to accommodate increased visitation numbers. Increased surface area exposure to water and sunlight. Expansion, to create safe harbors with slow water to shelter fish. Solar collection. Flourishing of vegetation. Fish dispersal from the site.
PROCESS SKETCHES:
FALL Reeds and plants acting as protective barriers. Water speed is pretty low. Contraction of the floating components from summer condition.
WINTER Contraction of site into a compact structure. Protection from climate. Temperature control. Increased sheltering of ecosystem

FINAL DESIGN IN SITE MODEL
PROJECT STATEMENT The thesis of this building is that it acts as a mixer, with a finely calibrated layering of people, events and spaces. It is a machine that can reconfigure relationships between people, control and amplify certain behaviors, or increase/ decrease the velocity of human movement. A good mix has a strong rhythm and sends impactful waves through the population, it has points of high energies and peaceful lulls. A diverse mix results in a richer outputs of human interaction and music production. A good mix is antifragile because it adapts to embrace unpredictable events and occupants benefit through the flexibility and fluidity the space. This mix is where the city, students, musicians, and producers to bounce ideas off each other in experimentation and cooperation to enhance music production to the benefit of all.

LIVE MAKE CINCINNATI
SITE PLAN
The proposal for Constructed Landscapes is situated on the site of an existing factory at the edge of what was once the beer district of Cincinnati. Since the 80s, the manufacturing in the area has moved out, and baby boomers moved out to the suburbs leaving behind the empty shells of industrial buildings and a vacant city. However, in recent years, we, children of that generation, has seen a trend of returning to the cities as hubs of creativity and vitality. This project acts upon to this movement, proposing a mixed program of live-work, creating an environment where designers, artists and entrepreneurs can mingle and reactivate the city. In the spirit of the old breweries that populated the area, the roof of this project is acts as a beer garden, where outdoor movies are screened in the warmer months. Public Cccess up the Hill

The proposal is to group existing parking together and then transform the unused lots into green parks. This increases the amount of public space and increase public transport use through a new travel hub. This intervention creates opportunities for increased user interaction & ‘messiness’, thereby activating the locale.
