Object for Knowing Mississippi Flyway Interpretive Center
2
project
The design for the object for knowing acknowledges the rich characteristics of the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge and attempts to enhance cognitive experience of visitors by exposing them to the main features of the landscape, wildlife and atmosphere of the site. Playful dialogue between the design and the topography of the site guide visitors to slow down the journey through deep woods and to discover the wonder of panorama of Chautauqua. The experience will remind the visitor of the relationship between human and nature while being surrounded by abundant presence of migratory birds.

Uncharted Waters Xili Hospital
12
project
The idea of integration was the main concept in designing a 170-bed general hospital in Shenzhen. The hospital program includes inpatient care; diagnostic and therapeutic services; administrative and public areas; support services; and outpatient clinics accommodated in approximately 450,000 GSF. The hospital was designed using the FGI Guidelines. Possibilities of Integrating of western and traditional ideas of health were investigated as well as bringing diverse neighboring communities together.

Rise in Red Hook Mass Timber Structure
18
project
Insprited by Michael Green’s Tall Wood, Rise in Red Hook addresses social contexts of the site and the potential application of mass timber in large scale buildings. The proposed residential tower sets a precedent for sustainable compact urban livings in dense residential areas with a hybrid CLT structure. The large-span facility achieved with laminated wood system provides maximum flexibility of wood fabrication arrangement, and at the same time captures opportunity to revive neighboring community which was struck by natural disaster and social transformation through introducing a new industry.

Meshing Edges La Sagrera
26
project
Learning from major linear park development in Barcelona, this master planning project envisions reactivating an urban vacuum through numerous development strategies. Recognizing the colorful socio-cultural context, the proposal for La Sagrera introduces many cultural attractions through pedestrian friendly commercial street, interlocking edges with adjacent park, afforadable housing options for the young and the old. Collage of imaginative visions turns the once derelict industrial site into a vibrant urban space.

34
project
The two intersecting grid systems of site and the expression of geologic forces, which is deeply relates to the discovery of ancient life, governed the design of the museum through flexure and fissure. Along with the display of reconstructed skeleton of T-Rex and numerous archaeological objects, the museum will serve as an educational facility for general public by giving glimpse of how experts prepare, work, and research ancient life. Spaces like the exterior sunken plaza also provide stimulating experience of discovering and excavating replica fossils.

Enhancing Food Security in Haiti Rebuilding Agronomy
40
project
Engaging with a rural community in Haiti, a number of social problems were identified through series of excercises, including creating a city map, interviews, field observations, etc. After proposing a master plan for the town development, a comprehensive solution to address food security was devised to enhance the livelihood of small scale farmers. In attempt to increase productivity and competence of local agriculture in both local and global context, various strategies incorporating education, farmer’s co-op, bamboo construction and low-tech sustainable agricultural model were explored.

Object for Sitting Crafting a New Comfort
project
The Object for Kneeling is an instrument that has a specific intention to be used by visitors to Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge and other urbanites who seek asylum in peace of mind. It is a tool that can optimize the way in which people sit in order to reach a contemplative and tranquil state. The concept of ‘comfort’ is also on debate with this object. Kneeling position, that adjusts spine to its proper S-shape, is especially salubrious for people with lumbago and is widely practiced for meditation. These advantages will facilitate the users to become more conscious and perceptive of their surroundings.

Taking advantage of the stability of a triangular shape, a tetrahedron module was developed and applied to the design of the portico structure. It was then underpinned by intermediate supports to carry compressional and tensile loads from a suspended object at the center of the portico.

Snail Theatre
52
project
In an effort to redevelop an underused public space as a community theater in an urban residential setting, a mindful intervention was made. In the middle of the existing site, an aged tree symbolyzed and signified a gathering place for the community over many decades. To preserve the tree and the identity of the site as communal place, an accessible internal courtyard was inserted at the center of the site while main entry was created by lifting a corner of the theater.

Taking into account that the installations for the venue will be temporary structures on a historic site, removable installations were developed using light walls and path to create memorable experience for the visitors to the film festival.

Distant from main business districts of Paris, in the design of a hotel for business travelers it was necessary to provide an adequate level of convenience and to reflect the exhilarating atmosphere created by the surroundings of Montmartre in order to attract more guests and to enhance the guest experiences. To respond to the existing contexts, site conditions and required programs, it became the main strategy to insert a micro business complex that contains adjustable guest rooms, office area, restaurant and conference rooms. These features were organized through creating a continuous internal organization via spiraling circulation.

Greening Vernacular
56
project
In the design of single bed room units for a residential complex in Tunisia, the principles of traditional Tunisian architecture were adopted and complemented with contemporary sustainable strategies. Recognizing the value of locally developed passive strategies, such as moucharabieh screens, adobe walls and central courtyard, possibilities of fusing modern sustainable technology with Tunisian tradition were explored by harmoniously incorporating solar energy, rainwater collection system, and other passive strategy.

Sensory Mapping
project
A sequential relationship between intuition and concept was explored in this excersice of representing space and time by alterations of visual memory projection through a light filter. By transforming memories, or a record of such, into new stimuli that will be experienced in a different space and time, discrete experiences are generated and diverged from the original.
