Project Brief
-Location & Connectivity -Momentum of Economy -Physical Context
WEAKNESSES -Lack of Visual Identity -Consistent Cloud Cover
OPPORTUNITIES -Current Portland Momentum Increasing Cultural amenities -Establishing Iconic Identity Connection to Public Spaces -Diversity of Primary Usages
THREATS -Clear Delineation of Private Space / Eyes on the Street -Balancing of Fitting in or Standing out
Design and Innovation Process Low carbon communities result from the one hundred percent walkable nature of the site. This walkable urbanism allows for more pedestrian and cyclist focused development and less dependence on vehicles. Mixed-use programming promotes non-peak energy use and provides safety to all users. Providing an activated and populated public environment keeps pedestrians safe and happy. The utmost care was taken to develop human scale experiences activated by a variety of uses and homogeneous materials relating the user experience to the greater whole of Portland. Beginning with the pedestrian we developed experiences that vary throughout the city. The project remains within the zoning height and FAR requirements of the city keeping in scale with surrounding context and allowing the project to become part of the whole rather than a singular icon; moreover, the development consists of palatable voids and masses that complement the current city massing.
SITE DETAIL STRATEGY Seeking to establish the Signature Retail District, The Portland Downtown Retail Strategy is the preeminent source for development in Portland’s Central City Retail District. The project is flanked between the Signature Streets of Morrison to the North and Yamhill to the South; additionally, tertiary streets of Broadway to the East (a prominent link between districts) and 10th Avenue to the West surround the tri-block parcel. CREATING A CONNECTION During the site visit, the team located an underused visitor’s center within the Pioneer Square. The design team figured it was a good opportunity to rejuvenate not only project site but also the Pioneer Square by replacing the visitor’s center with an open corridor along with retail strip underground. This opening envisioned to connect back to above ground as it gradually connects back up to the director park extension // meeting with the current urban edge.

EXTRUDE In order for flexible design opportunities; the three blocks were staggered in response to the existing Pioneer Square and courthouse. CONNECTION To create a visual connection through development by the axis between the Forest Park and Pioneer Courthouse. ABSORB To create interstitial openings and connections, masses were scaled and absorbed in order to create connection between the sites. CARVE Carving of the development based upon pedestrian circulation and solar studies; welcoming pedestrians from every direction of the development.

DESTINATION Instead of creating an open ending of the created slope, a glass box was placed at the end of the slope to give sense of destination. RESPECT Old Nordstrom being a landmark of downtown, exterior walls were kept during the process of rejuvenation of the site. DIVERSIFY Theater and retail were inserted between walls of Nordstrom in order for diverse usage of the site. ARTICULATE Following the previous formation of the sites, the mass was given life with the articulation of key design features.

RELOCATION OF NORDSTROM The designers were confronted with the challenge of a valuable box sitting within the existing site. The study showed preference of low natural light within the existing amenity. As a result, it was agreed upon the designers to relocate the Nordstrom underground. However, instead of simple relocation; the designers presented a more celebrated entry to the amenity by offering a glass box at the end of the Director Park extension. With this relocation, designers envision a greater use of the old Nordstrom site that will act as a catalyst for new opportunities for startup retail and other temporal enterprises.

11 RESPONDING TO EXISTING CONTEXT As one the main goal of the design was to connect the design with the surrounding site; it was good opportunity to connect with the two adjacent openings [Director Park and Pioneer Square]. DEFINING THE RETAIL DISTRICT With the relocation of the Nordstrom along an introduction of new local retail the site is envisioned to be rejuvenated with greater pedestrian circulation. ESTABLISHING A PORTLAND ICON Introducing the mid rise-cantilever was an attempt not only to define an urban edge, but also to plant a new image of downtown Portland. As it is envisioned to become a visual entity and a structural masterpiece. CREATING A RESILIENT LIVING As the tower being shaped abnormal to the regular residential not one unit is laid out the same; each unit creatin a unique living throughout the residential units.

SITE ANALYSIS
OPPORTUNITIES Horizontal & Vertical Connections - Green Loop connection from North Park Blocks to Broadway Bridge - Building frontages along the Broadway and Lovejoy Ramps - Views to and from node at raised intersection of Broadway & Lovejoy - East-West connections through the US Postal Service site District Character, Identity & Activity
THREATS Obstacles to Implementation - Need for flexibility to maximize development potential - Cost of moving USPS - Cost of infrastructure and amenities Community Concerns - Density & height - Failure to be inclusive - Lack of job diversity
The Broadway Corridor area is approximately 24 acres and encompasses several PDC-owned properties including Blocks Y and R and Union Station see map on right). Built in 1896, Union Station is an active hub for Amtrak passenger rail; PDC aims to further position and activate the station as a gateway to the city and surrounding neighborhood. On the western half of the area, PDC is in negotiations with the USPS to acquire their 14-acre site, which is also an important anchor to the redevelopment of this area. The Broadway Corridor, and more particularly the USPS site, is identified in the City of Portland’s West Quadrant Plan as a key opportunity site for high density employment and signature city attractions, connecting the Old Town/Chinatown and Pearl District neighborhoods. The Broadway Corridor Framework Plan will serve as the first phase of the planning process for the area. A potential second phase, pursuant to PDC’s successful acquisition negotiations with the USPS, is anticipated to include a detailed master plan, building upon the work completed in the Framework Plan.”

Detailed Usage Plan
The Broadway Corridor, and more particularly the USPS site, is identified in the City of Portland’s West Quadrant Plan as a key opportunity site for high density employment and signature city attractions, connecting the Old Town/Chinatown and Pearl District neighborhoods. The Broadway Corridor Framework Plan will serve as the first phase of the planning process for the area. A potential second phase, pursuant to PDC’s successful acquisition negotiations with the USPS, is anticipated to include a detailed master plan, building upon the work completed in the Framework Plan. The River Union District Blocks adhere to the existing development patterns of the surrounding districts. The block is defined by zero setback facades. Each block includes a variety of scales helping to increase the diversity of street character but also work to provide consistent contextual cues. Each block contains a voided courtyard that is either enclosed on all four sides or opens into a U shape. Courtyards work to reduce noise created by vehicular traffic streets. So as to benefit the most number of people, the locations of these courtyards are placed at points of increased pedestrian activity. Additionally the courtyards increase diversity of privacy options allowing for a smaller scale of open space.
17
RESIDENTIAL The Residential Units never directly engage the ground plane. Either Retail or Office always touch the public street. Rising housing units above the ground increasing safety and allows for diverse mixed use development at ground level. OFFICE SPACE When Office Spaces are included in the block they occur immediately above the retail level or at ground level. RETAIL Diverse Retail experiences increase public involvement Immediate access to local retail is achieved in this mixed use system. PUBLIC SPACE The North Block Extension is a public park accessible from the majority of the blocks.

URBAN DESIGN The process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages. In contrast to architecture, which focuses on the design of individual buildings, urban design deals with the larger scale of groups of buildings, streets and public spaces, whole neighborhoods and districts, and entire cities, with the goal of making urban areas functional, attractive, and sustainable.
Sustainability - Development which meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs - The quality of not being harmful to the environmental depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting longterm ecological balance

The development focuses on “Architectural Problem Solving� with small to medium sized projects. As the project is to develop a existing parking lot located in the Oklahoma State Univ. The Project was divided in to four phase-Site, Space,Structure and Skin. PHASE1_SITE The site phase principally focused on the design and development of the site. Specifically the ground plane, with particular exploration of the issues and elements that shape the surface of the earth in an architectural context. Of note are the landscape and its interaction with the people, program, institutions, environment and other objects, movement and systems to which it must respond. PHASE2_SPACE The space principally focused on rejuvenating diverse set of outdoor activities. Among the principal activities are circulation and gathering for events and performances in music, film, art, and literature. In addition to lectures and other education events for both small and large groups.

Development Model PHASE1_SITE As this phase was projected to be the anchor for the future four phases of the development it was essential to have a simple and bold vocabulary. As a design decision the structural grid of the architecture building across the street was decided to be projected onto the site. With these grid lines, number of partition walls were placed in order to create both guidance throughout the park experience and visual separation within the space in order to create private but public thought out the space. PHASE2_SPACE As the main goal was to create a “Gathering Space” the idea was to create a woven ribbon tying the users. The ribbon being implemented into the projected grid lines from the previous phase; it was considered to be a bold and simple idea. This idea was further elaborated as the orderly chaos; as the chaotic expressed form happened where people came together, That start to draw people’s attention as it can be described as breaking out of the norm.

Project Brief
Sejongdaero_
DESIGN GOALS The goal of this project is to link the site of the former National Tax Service Building to urban architectural heritage and the surroundings that contain various cultural activities. Developing a historic cultural place that harmonizes past, present, and future is the task of the project. As the surrounding historical facilities such as Deoksugung, City Hall, and Hwangu-dan have been the historical hubs of South Korea and create a symbolic cultural scenery. The site located between these facilities could be formed as a public space which inherits the historical atmosphere and reflects a public character of this place. The project will define the role of the site in connection with Sejong-daero district, both on the ground level and in the underground level. The site will be recognized as a linking space that operates as a platform that people can move continuously from ground to underground. DESIGN REFLECTION The proposal envisions the site as a Civic Forum, bringing together the elements of past, present, and future in this place to provide a true community space as a catalyst for future development in the area.

Extensive District Scheme
27 SITE DESIGN SCHEME The site is a key crossroads connecting the east and west of Seoul, and is adjacent to historic landmarks, the palace, city hall, major subway lines, and a main boulevard. Site lines are integrated throughout the building design and expressed on the boulevard through a proposed paving pattern which visually connects the building to its surrounding landmarks. The design also includes a proposed entrance to the subway system, utilizing the centralized location for community access. Place is the culmination of the influence of people, events, and cultural transformations throughout history on a specific location. This site’s strong sense of place - it’s overlapping and interwoven stories reflect the complexity of the history and culture of Korea. We strive to create a space that reflects the layers of influence on this place.

CONCEPTUAL IDEA Conceptually, history is the art of point of view, which is shaped by culture. Simultaneously, culture is established based on the people of a particular time and their points of view. To represent the multiple points of view that shape the history of Korea.
A culture, we employed anamorphic image projection. The concept of anamorphic projections in artistic fields is based on perception and point of view; that a viewer’s input ultimately decides the ‘form’ of what is seen. A chronology of Korean historical events are engraved into the architectural facade, marking layers of time which have shaped the place and the greater Korean cultural landscape. The building displays 8 landmark dates of modern Korean History 1945 - National Liberation Day of Korea 1950 - Korean War 1960 - April Revolution 1980 - May 18 Democratic Uprising 1987 - June 29 Declaration 1988 - Seoul hosts the Olympics. 2014 - The sinking of the Sewol. 2045 - 100th National Liberation Day

STRUCTURE The original column locations and structural footings were maintained for historic continuity. New concrete columns will support a reinforced concrete structure. ENTREPRENEURIAL SPACE This work and office space for young entrepreneurs to conduct business represents investment in the Future. Today’s difficult economic climate challenges young people in Korea with finding jobs and new opportunities to contribute. By provides space dedicated to this young generation, it provides opportunity for them and for future generations. MARKET SPACE The market space represents the element of the past. In Korean history, the market was a powerful place for gathering, sharing information, and economic exchange. This proposal provides outdoor space for entrepreneurs to sell goods and talk with community members, bringing back face-to-face community interaction that is key to maintaining the culture.

DESIGN APPROACH As the site is located in the center of the most historic sites throughout the world; it was essential for the design team to heavily consider the pedestrian and vehicular circulation. To respond to the site a piazza was located in the center of the development in order to create an escape from the busy streets of Rome, Italy. As for the tower mass, addition and subtraction were placed imitating the pedestrian circulation throughout Rome. SKIN SYSTEM MODEL The project being a “vertical museum” the skin design was heavily focused on solving the problem: “the most aesthetically and effective way to control day light”. As a result, the amount of sunlight penetrating into the building was controlled by sizing the rectangular hole of the interior space. This further allowed for easier maintenance of not only the interior skin but also for the glass panels, cables/electrical wires, and the exterior skin system.

ANALYTICAL RECORDING Throughout the undergraduate studies; the idea of design has been emphasized numerously by various professors and mentors. The idea being design is life; we should always be thinking about how we live and how it can be integrated into the design process. As a result it was crucial to keep a journal handy, to record every thought process of the designer. As there are many ways of architectural recording; I have taken the approach of sketching and analytical diagramming throughout my travel.
