PIUJANG LIFE HEALTH PARK Ennead Architects LLP Shanghai, China
1
In this project we designed a lot as part of a larger masterplan in Shanghai which consisted primarily of office and headquarters spaces. During the pre-design phase I worked with the site survey to come up with several schemes. I took charge of the in-house artistic renderings which complemented the photorealistic ones. I also created the wall type diagrams and 3d models.

SHENZEN TIAN’AN URBAN DESIGN Ennead Architects LLP Shenzen, China
5
This is a masterplan in Shenzen in which the client wanted to completely revitalize the city. A new university has been planned for north of this area. This masterplan is designed to create a new sustainable city, with retail, residential and transportation hubs. I worked on the pre-design phase of this project. I took charge of one design scheme and 3D printing the model.

1221 GATEWAY PROJECT Ennead Architects LLP New York, New York
7
This was a competition against several firms. We proposed some ideas on how to rebuild the plaza at 1221 Avenue of the Americas. We gave them three proposals. Our goal was to make it a more enjoyable and practical space for both pedestrians and retail. I worked interchangeably on different schemes, created a modelo walk through and created the 3D physical model.

HERO PEN OFFICE RENOVATION Ennead Architects LLP Shanghai, China
9
This was a renovation project which I worked on during the conceptual phase. It is an abandoned office building that manufactured pens in the past and will now be renewed with new offices, a public atrium and retail. I worked on the 3D model, in house renderings, physical model, and program planning. 10

US EMBASSY IN ANKARA Ennead Architects LLP Ankara, Turkey
13
This project is a US embassy based in Ankara Turkey. During the Construction Document phase I worked on floor type plans, wall types, and lighting through Revit. Due to the confidential nature of this project I can only show renderings. 14
TAOPU SCI-TECH CITY Ennead Architects LLP Shanghai, China
15
This is a mixed use development in Shanghai. It was the first phase of a masterplan for Taopu. This project focuses on the pedestrian experience using green spaces, bridges, and plazas. In this project I worked on the in-house renderings during the pre-design phase, and created the landscape revit file for the schematic design phase. 16

As Long Island City and the rest of New York rapidly develops, a new skyline replaces the old which attracts many upper-class outsiders. But what about the rest of us, the lower class and those who have always been here? We see our city changing and leaving us out of the picture. We don’t need more condos overpopulating the already crowded city. Instead of Silvercup’s proposal to make this site a tall multi-use condo/retail building, I have designed a Museum. A new source of education for the neighborhood, somewhere to visit and enjoy, next to existing residences and low income housing. Hoping to keep the integrity of this small art community, this adds to the Museum Mile of Queens with PS 1, Socrates Sculpture Park, The Museum of the Moving Image and small galleries in between. With a new arts education center, the school kids of the area have somewhere to go and learn after school.

Horizontal Louvers
In order to expose the structure and to reduce amount of columns, the structural system is comprised of cast-in-place waffle slabs. With a manufacturers like Holedeck, the hvac can be placed inside of the slabs by cutting out holes. By casting small notches on the coffers different components can be added to the ceiling; For example: Hung ceiling panels and track lighting. The skin of most of this building is made of Corten Steel in different variations. Based on the facing side, there are either vertical Louvers for the east and west sun, horizontal louvers on a curtain wall and perforated Panels for the south sun. There is also recycled brick, both as solid veneers and as a screen by removing some bricks.

In New York City there are many kinds of museums; Modern art, Folk art, Regional arts, Moving Image, Sculpture Parks, Science Museums, Natural history Museums. This is a chance to bring a New museum of a specific era. This era connects to the existing building on the site and it is a century that has great significance to Queens history. +6

TORUGART PASS BORDER STATION Spring 2014 Professor Stigsgaard In Collaboration with Man Tung

This project was a student design competition, the “2014 ACSA/AISC Steel Design Student Competition�. In which the professor chose the site and the students would design a border crossing station using steel. The site chosen was the Torugart Pass in Kyrgyzstan.

Structural System
oof
This border crossing is split in several directions based on the direction of traffic and destination of travelers. It is split in a way that will not block views of the landscape and sunlight. Through this enclosure that limits the passage of the public on either side we have tried to create a more controllable and safe crossing than what is currently existing while keeping a tourist friendly environment that engages the landscape.
CONSTRUCTION TYPE
50’-0”
By using a system of Howe trusses for the top floor, this building can have its materials easily transported in this remote landscape. The trusses allow the building to span 140 feet over four lanes of traffic and allows it to cantilever 75 feet for the observation area overlooking the road from China. The bottom floor’s structure comprises of steel Y columns, allowing the top floor’s weight to sit on two points of one column without blocking more sunlight to this public space.

THE FLOATING OPERA
Precedent study Spring 2012 Professor Bagchee
The Floating Opera (Shwimmbad Wuppertal) is a pool in Wuppertal, Germany that has a repetitive structure to serve its purpose. The structure supports the seating and under the seating are entrances. At the center is the pool. This building becomes a delicate bowl where all types of weight are considered. We made study models on the structure and learned the delicate nature of this building. The structure then inspired the Pool House of the next project.
