03 Tokyo 2000 Extreme Oscillations ACADEMIC WORK

Fall 2016

Advisor: Ir. Erik Hehenkamp Individual Work Site: Tokyo, Japan Occupancy: Amplified Concert hall Site Area: 1060 sqm Gross Floor Area: 4280sqm

Situated at the heart of AOYAMA and surrounded by high-end shops, the site has hardly public area. A concert hall which could blend into people's daily life would be the first keyword.

In contrast with PRADA building which shining as an individual slogan, Music Docks need to be welcoming and blend into living in an active way.

Besides the constrains of plot and surrounding atomosphere, Earthquake is another key element need to be taken into consideration.

Tokyo suffers from medium size of earthquake from every the other week.

Evacuation and structure safety are of vital importance to the design of concert hall.

At the meanwhile, repair of the building is also crutial regarding to earthquake

The assignment required a concert hall for 2000 people. However, in this design, the task is divided into two part, a concert hall of 1500 audiences and a music bar & disco of 500 audiences. By doing so, the concert halls could meet the needs of bands of different scales and hopefully, reach a higher frequency of usage.

To prelong the evacuation time for the audience in concert halls and at the same time, to prevent the primary structure from damage during earthquakes, a unique structure system is used in the design of concert halls, which itself served as damping system. For service areas, common steel beam-column structure system with earthquake isolators is deployed. Two construction systems are separated down to the foundation.

To make the concert hall energy neutral, a series of active electricity generation methods are deployed. On the facade, a special facade element, Piezogenerator, is used to convert wind power into electricity. At the mean time, these items bring a dynamic look of the building.

04 Youth Hotel Historical Building Renovation ACADEMIC WORK

WINTER 2014

Advisor: Prof. Hongjun Wang Team Work Site: Shanghai, China Occupancy: Youth Hotel Site Area: 1763 sqm Gross Floor Area: 2480 sqm

It is a renovation project of a brickmade house built in 1920s and preserved by Shanghai government. The assignment was to convert three of five building blocks into a youth hotel. Besides transform of the original buildings, new function blocks were also needed as restaurant, reception and public space for activities.

Those buildings are of good conservation condotions. Thus, the design focus on re-organise of the site to link the three buildings as a whole. By rebuilding the mass at the front and converting it to a reception desk and restaurant, the main auxiliary function could serve both the communities and the youth hotel itself. The back park of the three buildings are also linked together by a continuing path communicating indoor public area and outdoor gardens.

At the mean time, by combining food market and restaurant together, the buildings could be entirely used 24/7. Besides, by rotating blocks, public space is carved out, providing space for community activities.

02 Modular and System Commercial+ Healthcare ACADEMIC WORK

Fall 2018

Advisor: Ir. Zuhua Wang Group+Individual Work Site: Beijing, China Occupancy: Commercial, Healthcare

The project was located between the Wangfujing commercial street, the most visited tourist destination, and Xiehe Hospital, the busiest medical centre of the capital. The task of this urban renewal project was to answer two problems.

How to connect the site with the hospital t o c re a t e a c o m f o r t a b l e p l a c e f o r accommodating those waiting patients?

How to organise and mediate those fragmental "left-over" buildings on site and create lively commercial streets?

The designer expanded the existing firstfloor corridle system of the hospital to the site. In this way, the first floor on the site would be dedicated to the patients and their families, while the visitors would mainly experience the ground floor commercial area. Secondly, to meet the different site situations, the designer established a prefabricated "plug-in" system. The basic modular have different functions such as sales, urban furniture, green space and transportation. Various combinations of the basic modular were placed into the location according to existing situations and form a flexible and welcoming space.

01 INVISIBLE BOUDARY Community Renewal: Elderly + Sustainability ACADEMIC WORK

Spring 2017

Advisor: Prof. Lidy Meijers Individual Work Site: Limburg, the Netherlands Occupancy: Residential, Healthcare Site Area: 3088 sqm Floor Area: 1583 sqm Treebeek is a satellite community located at Limburg province. The town was constructed in the 1910s and deeply influenced by the Garden City theory.

With several rounds of expansions, the old Treebeek community is spatially separated from the surrounding area.

Moreover, the town is also struggling with issues such as Aging and depopulation.

In this design, the designer re-thought about the boundary problem and brought elements like sustainability, community healthcare into the shrinking village.

On the left side of the street is the old Treebeek planned and constructed at 1910, while on the right side situated some residential blocks built in 1953. The street view was blocked by partition walls, back gardens and trees. The old Treebeek was hidden behind those fences.

1-1 Section 1:200 Housing Block of Two Directions To break the separation between the new and old Treebeek communities, the designer first removed the back gardens and partition walls and formed two public space divided by a housing block. The inner open area, surrounded by housing blocks became a community plaza. The outer public space was designed as a plaza mainly used by the elderly residents. The designer added some new volumes, including a community greenhouse, a housing block for the elderly and an activity room.

Kangaroo Housing The designer transformed the original terrace houses into kangaroo houses, the ground floor is dedicated to the elderly in the family, and the upper floors belonged to younger generations. The elderly houses were connected to the elderly activity rooms and a community garden, while the top family houses were all faced towards the plaza shared by the community.
