Vietnam Academy of Natural Disaster
Location: Da Nang, Vietnam Advisor: Karen Lange Year: 2013
Vietnam Academy of Natural Disaster is located right on the coastline of Son Tra peninsula, where it contains a natural rainforest and a rich marine life. With that special location, visitors not only discover the center, but also have a chance to adventure the nature of the site. The campus consists of three major programs: a Simulation Galleries, a Nature Exhibition, and a Research Center. Visitors can learn how to protect themselves and react against disasters by attending at various simulation galleries. They also have a chance to improve their awareness about nature at the Nature Exhibition which would help them understand the relationship between hazards and the importance of supporting nature. The Research Center helps to improve the disaster prediction system and study the solutions to decrease the damages from hazards.

Sunset Gower Studios
Location: Hollywood, California Advisor: Stephen Phillips Year: 2012 The existing architecture of Sunset Gower Studios is a combination of multiple storages and workshops which are disorganized. The campus is separated from the outside by large solid walls surrounding the site. The missing in connection between the studios and the community is a major issue. The significant idea of this project is to resolve this problem: opening private space to public, reconnecting the studios with the community, and providing an additional green space to Hollywood community.

- Sunset Blvd & Gower St: Heavy traffic. - Gordon St & Fountain Ave: Light traffic. - Define the major view of the building.
THE ROBOTIC VOCABULARY
- Re-organize the Studio program. - Split stages into 2 groups: private & public stages. - Add public space into the program.
Two perfect circles: - Expose 360 views for the campus. - Create a closed private space for campus security.
- Cut the public circle to open public space. - Connect the public & private spaces.
SPACE CONCEPT closed space? lack of green space?
how to oganize?
security?
density of land use too high?
add public space & green element
splitting the program
moving stages into underground
raising program up
- Push down & pull up the form to create the views for the courtyards toward the attractive point. - Engage the building to landscape.
