Vertical Campus USC Marshall School of Business Satellite Campus Los Angeles, CA
Studio Prof. : Lawrence Scarpa USC Spring 2017 These are two schemes group project designed for USC School of Business Satellite Campus located in the Broadway district in downtown Los Angeles. The district used to be the center of the city in last century, where residents went to ornate movie palaces and theaters, and shopped at major department store and shops. So, the architecture built around the district at that time were high-rise buildings and set right besides each other, facade with fascinating and delicate sculpture. However, as time goes on, less and less people go to the theaters, lots of theaters have been re-purposed or restored. The Broadway now has been occupied by working class Latinos retails, flea markets, etc. The location of our site is just right besides two high rise buildings which built at the golden age of Broadway. As a result, the site is much more compact and crowd than most other places in city of Los Angeles. Therefore, this studio is focusing on the imbalance between a open field sense of campus to the actually narrow and crowded site location. At first glance, the site condition seems more applicable to have a block building filling with rooms, to maximize the use of space in this limited situation. However, it also need consideration of openness, which intends the transitional void between different programs from a real campus. In the
meanwhile, the controlling of people accessibility and security is also another problem that need to be achieved. This scheme starts with idea of vertical street. Vertical street means folding the street into a building. As a programmatic catalyst for its context, in this 250 feet high tower, the avenue is reinterpreted as the major void atrium, the alleys are reinterpreted as patio spaces. Escalators and stairs which throughout vertically in the building that connect a series of horizontally projected volumes reinterpreted as buildings on the “street�, which acting as gallery spaces, classrooms, lecture halls, and residential units. Besides the spatial street idea, the actual circulation weaving in the building also offers new impressions and outlooks to the project and the city-just as in cities no place is like another owing to the diversity of the architecture, changes in solid, in void, in texture. The enclosed nature of those spaces stimulate the environment security and division of privacy. In this building, the four categories people that are public, students, faculties and students as residents, are deliberately separated by physical attachment between programs. In the meanwhile, they still getting a certain level of visual connection in-between the void. 06

Sunlight Studies The sunshine condition through the site indicates that the site is mostly in shadow.The most efficient way to perceive light is to build higher than the surrounding buildings.
Concept Form Studies The diagrams present the basic idea of levitation, porosity and vertical street. Levitation, because of the site locating almost attach to the other two buildings at sides, levitation provides a sense of floating, introduce more open spaces. Porosity, in the sunlight studies of the site, we know there’s merely daylight get into the site. Porosity means reflecting daylight from skylight into the site. The last, vertical street, the street as the central atrium, the alleys as patio spaces in the project. Those are the three main ideas for the project from site analysis. For each idea, there will be a set of six movements to describe the content. These are set as inspirations for the final idea. It will have intrinsic connections to these concepts. 09

The City in the City A Future Tall Building Design for City of Los Angeles Downtown Los Angeles, CA
2018 CTBUH Student Competition
This competition seeks a future tall building design, responses to the greatest challenges of our time, like population growth, climate change, new innovated technology, etc. Our site is based on downtown Los Angeles, the place we most familiar with. Talking about spatial experience, we believe that people’s perception about a city is based on time. When human travel by foot, the city might be within an one-square mile; when we have car, our comprehension of a city become travel time within one hour. Therefore, what if we can get from point A to point B in less than one hour, what will be the new definition of a city? For Los Angeles, the new transportation planning - Hyper Loop, will reconfigure our city. The design is focused on how does the future city shapes architecture and how will the architecture reconstruct the city. Hyper Loop brings people from other metropolitan regions to the center of Los Angeles. As a direct destination, the building will also hold the functions of public area, office and apartment. A high density mixed-use tower is a response to the need and the central-urban site.
Unlike typical mixed use towers, the public program and spaces are organized vertically to create interactions with tower at different levels. All these public spaces become a vertical urban park. This continuous urban park is connected to the vertical transition system that composed by Hyper Loop, Metro Link, Ground vehicles and subways. A city scale vertical street link these urban park and the transition hub together to create a interconnected City node. The park also serves as a buffering space when receiving huge amount of daily population flow. With all systems integrated, the building becomes a connecting point between Los Angeles and other metropolitan region and an extension of other cities: an interconnected Micro-city.

etteruoT aL | La Tourette A Conversation with1956’s Le Corbusier Éveux, France
Studio Prof. : Wesley Jones USC Spring 2018 Thesis
The thesis project begins with a precedent-an existing or historical architectural project, drawing it, researching its history and analyzing its achievement. After a semester of preparation-research, documentation, analysis. We became an expert in all aspects of the precedent. This expertise will be manifest in the discovery of additional new reasons to respect choice, or the uncovering of unexpected flaws that suggest avenues of improvement. In the thesis, we were asked to “found” approach through the research, obliquely discovering an “angle of attack,” “missing link,” or “lever” for critique, or mastering hidden “rule of game” that makes our version beyond precedent’s newly acknowledged imperfect state. The design will improve, upgrade, refine or criticize the precedent, incidentally demonstrating through this works what architecture is, and why that architecture should be preferred. The precedent I chose is Convent de La Tourette designed by Le Corbusier in 1956. It’s a dominican order monastery located in Éveux, France. My analysis starts with the research on contemporary thought about the monastery-what’s the change of monastery’s role in society in history, How’s the monk’s life
transformed through the times, what’s the definition of monasticism from the perspective of modern people and etc. Along with those questions, I got an idea of modern monastery, just like La Tourette is a monastery built to serve monks, serve Lord. The project I’m doing is a new definition of monastery base on contemporary trends, to serve modern society. For the new project, I start from mirroring the form from La Tourette, to have a conversation with Le Corbusier. To discuss the comparison between old and new, past and present, public and private from Le Corbusier’s age to current days.

Concept
Contemporary Monk Instead of traditional monk “retiring from the world,” the contemporary monk remains active in the world. His or her work could be as one does as employment, or could be as monk does as employment. This person perfects his relationship with the Lord in the company of others in the world rather than in a closed environment.
Monastery Role to Community Monastery plays an important role to the neighbor communities through centuries. There’re three major programs. First is scientific center, monks help scientist figure out how people treated certain diseases in history, such as scury. Second, asylum settled in most monasteries, they had infirmaries to treat the monks, travelers, the poor, old, weak and sick. The third program is education center, The monks give class to the neighbor hood kids, such as music, writing, language, etc.
La Tourette is facing to a great view of the valley, enclosed by a forest, and along with the only existed pathway.
My project begins with mirroring. The reflected form presents the respect, balance and contrast to La Tourette.
I’m using a grand stair covers the whole site to illustrate the openness of the new monastery, In compare to La Tourette, people getting into the monastery through a narrow threshold.
New Monasticism There’s a book called New Monastic Manifesto said “We assert that new monasticism names an impulse that is trying to incarnate itself in the new generation. It is beyond the borders of any particular religious institution, yet drinks deeply from the wells of our wisdom traditions. It is an urge which speaks to a profoundly contemplative life, to the formation of small communities of friends, to sacred activism and to discovering together the unique calling of every person and every community.” People who fell called to lives of contemplation and action but who do not necessarily feel drawn to one particular religious tradition or called to the traditional forms of monasticism. In the monastery, it’s like an spiritual journey to experience monk’s simple life. Base on those research, I’m planning to design a new monastery. a contemporary monastery which helps neighborhood in the meanwhile serves La Tourette. 27
The sculptural corridors are preserved from Le Corbusier’s design as one of the ways to circulate between the programs.
In comparison, the similar programs happen in new monastery is located at similar reflected position in La Tourette.
The sculptural curves, bright colors and choice of materiality demonstrates my interpretation and thought on Le Corbusier’s ideas.

Brise-Soleil
Color
Site condition Le Corbusier’s interpretation of sun-responsive architecture took on powerful mytho-poetic dimensions. Brise-soleil is one of the most common shading method that Le Corbusier used in his design. In the new monastery, I’m treating Brise-soleil in different texture of glass to achieve shading effect, to control the amount of daylight into rooms more accurately and flexibly.

Le Corbusier and His Color Palette

Le Corbusier said “Color in architecture-a means as powerful as the ground plan and section, Or better: polychromy, a component of the ground plan and the section itself.” In Corbusier’s design, we always saw lots of bright colors from the ceiling to floor. His theory revolved around three concepts: using natural colors to create atmosphere, applying synthetic pigments for contrast, and deploying transparent synthetic pigments to alter surfaces without affecting how the eyes perceives space. In the new monastery, along with Le Corbusier’s palette, color represents the atmosphere of spaces, illustrates the liveness of the space. Neutral colors fits to more quiet place, brighter colors reflect dynamic of the space.

A Brewery Museum Underground Brewing Experience in City Center Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA Studio Prof. : Rob Ley USC Fall 2016
This project mainly develops a brewery, which contains beer museum, tasting room, production spaces and offices. Furnishing work space for brewing process, in the meanwhile creating an opportunity for visitors having a tasty and joyful brewery experience. The site of this project is located in downtown, Los Angeles, right besides Grand Central Market, near Bunker Hill. The site situation transformed to a great extent in past few years, the Grand Central Market changed from trading low-cost goods to ample food court facing to middle-end customers, especially pairing to the people work on the Bunker Hill. Consequently, this transformation has affected the blocks around the area, from dirty abandoned place to a certain level of business.
Tadao Ando said “I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.� To this project, I start from solving the congestion and uncleanness problem within the district. However, not as general museum design, combining exhibition into solid one piece. In contrast, I come up with to leave the void at ground level, the brewery process are settle underground to help relieving the crowdedness. People grab their food from nearby places, rambling into the brewery forest, maximize the cheerful experience that both brewery museum and beer bring to life.
The studio seeks to look for the issue bringing by the changes in these past few years. At this point, from my research, because of the fast rise of Grand Central Market, the people overflowing, the site in a serious lack of seating and parking situation, which brings more grab and go people other than diners sit around, makes the cleanness and congestion issue in a severe condition. 34

Architectural Urbanism Urban Planning for New Venice City Venice, Italy
Studio Prof. : Peter Zellner USC Fall 2017
As we know, Venice is a small city in northeastern Italy situated across a group of 118 small islands. Due to special location, where the sea, land and sky come together and also because of its unique art and architecture attracts millions of billions of tourists every year. However, just owing to superfluous tourists, rise the expense for living, the restaurants and retails expense goes much higher than live on mainland. In an increasing number of house owners preferred change their homes to Airbnb and hotels, driving up cost of permanent housing, makes the city in a serious population declination situation. In the meanwhile, Venice is also facing sea level rising, pollution and destruction of historic buildings. These serious issue need to be solved immediately. This project will critique and engage the Venetian tourism crisis and de-population trends by creating new forms of urbanism.
The project under consideration will address tourism, transition and also new housing prototypes. In the meanwhile, to investigate an architecture that hovers between new and old, water and land, ground and sky, field and excavation. Moreover, at the scale of the city and it’s infrastructures is also an important elements in urban design which is currently missing catalyst for a imaging new Los Angeles. At the beginning of the project, start with analyzing and designing the urban within a specific geographic or cultural territory in different scale, from a building, to a block, then a city.
To address those issues, this studio is focusing on developing new architectural interventions in Venice. Making large scale urban proposals for the physical growth and the expansion of the Commune di Venezia.
42
This project will develop new architectural interventions in Venice, near the sites of Le Corbusier’s Venice Hospital and Peter Eisenman’s Cannaregio Town Square. Both unrealized, visionary projects. These interventions will critique and engage the Venetian tourism crisis and declining population trends by creating new forms of urbanism as alternative models for growing Venice in 21st century. 43 45
44
Form Development Looking back to history, Le Corbusier and Peter Eisenman both did projects in Venice in 1960s. Le Corbusier began with ideas of Calli and Campelli (means plaza and streets) come up a hospital base on his modular system. Base on Corbusier’s design, Peter Eisenman did
Le Corbusier In Corbusier’s design, the modules are patient rooms. Each room receives an individual cell with windows looking toward outside. In the meanwhile connect with corridors.
Peter Eisenman In Eisenman’s design, he began with three scales-real scale, house scale and model of house scale. Leaving people a sense of absence. He also interested in the evolutionary process of the physical trace left by Corbusier’s hospital.
45
a plaza extending from Corbusier’s hospital. Unfortunately, they both not been built. In my project, concluding their ideas into 100*100 meters field as start point, steps forward to several transformation become my own module.
Current Situation
Planning Development
Due to the research on demographic analysis from past fifty years, it’s easily to find residents lives on Venice has a serious descending situation. The main reason cause this fact is Venice is introducing times of tourists every years causes the issue.
To design this project, I’ve started from two perspectives. One from overall planning, the other one from forms.
Offset from water edge
“A Linear City” provides high accessibility
Goal Therefore, my primary goal is to increase the residents live on the island. In the meanwhile, day trippers decrease significantly, alternate their stay on the land from less a day to short-term stay.
Waterway along the road
Roads and waterway overlapping spot become transition knot
Knot as a traffic hub with a plaza, a ports for boat and public buildings
Around the knot, is mostly offices
Solution How to introduce people live on Venice is the vital issue for this project. The new development should target several elements that original city often missing.
Housing
Institution
Event
Accessibility
Away from the knot turn into private residential.
46
Overall Planning
47
Introducing from old Venice
Program
Venice is a walkable city, green space designed approximately 500 feet apart in old urban planning. New development also borrows the idea.
Institution
Introducing the idea from old Venice city, “Calli and Campelli� means that street and plaza, each two streets intersection point become a plaza into new development.
Commercial
Since Venice is a water transport city, each intersection point, not only have plazas, also need sufficient port space for water taxi loading. More public space closer to larger port, more private space has less boarding space.
Residential
48
Sea Level Rising As we know,Venice is facing severe issue of sea level rising in past years, and the current situation goes worse. The mediterranean will rise by up to 5 ft(140cm) before 2100, in comparison, the sea level has risen by just 1 ft in the last 1,000 years.
Flood
Venice Sea level rising Therefore, in the new development, sea level rise also need to be seriously considered. Making everything floating on the water is a great and audacious solution.The bonded honeycomb system is a way to hold large structures floating over the sea, the building blocks are using this system and the depth of the honeycomb going to be various due to the weight of the building. In fact, lots of oil platform already applied this method in deep sea oil drilling system. Small structures, such as pathways could be hold by styrofoam and tied to seabed. Moreover, the new development also use new clean energy such as tidal energy and wind energy to maximize the advantages of an island situation. The subsurface flow constructed wetland sewage system is using wetland to dispose waste water, from this system, the water could be reused to watering plants. In further filtering process, the water is going to turn into freshwater reusable for household. The building structures above the ground is going to be cross-laminated timber structure system, these structures are much lighter than concrete and steel, and flexible used for all elements of a building(walls, floor, roof), also easy to assemble. 49

“Bridge Berm� To resolve the issue of sea level rising, I’m introducing the Bridging Berm (highlight in orange on this drawing) to prevent from flood water, storms, and other impacts of a changing climate at the shoreline of old Venice island. The method has been first used in Manhattan, NY. A proposed Briding Berm will both protect the area from storm surges and rising sea levels, and offer waterfront access for relaxation, socializing, and enjoying river vistas by the accessible routes on the vertice of the berm.

Mixed-Use Village Retail, office and residential for a small town Bainbridge Island, WA
Studio Prof. : Peter Brachvogel UW Fall 2014
This project is located on Bainbridge Island In Washington State.This development seeks to making a mixed-use mass. From the research to Bainbridge Island, the neighborhood around the site is in a great need of commercial buildings, like retail stores and offices. Due to this reason, my design used two third of spaces for these uses. Moreover, the site is besides a main street on Bainbridge Island, I arrange the programs by their different density of people, from street to back forest, from more to less. The retail stores are nearest to street attract people from street into the site, the residential sited at the farest from the street and nearby the forest at the back of the site, leaves residents a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
cost and also create dynamic rhythm. Moreover, the most important, not as rectangular blocks buildings, I stretched the corners making the buildings diagonal, for the reason, to expand the area of entrance, narrower the functional parts. Likewise, the diagonals always give people a dynamic and vivid feeling, making people like to move from narrow to wide and to narrow, at the same time, creating a harmonious and integral mood of the whole site.
Furthermore, in this project, we are also asked to consider the cost performance and meet the codes of our design on the site. For the walls I mostly applied cement board and wood panels in different sizes to save
