Life spanned Fourth semester Design Studio Project of Master Course, Office, New York, NY
Shining high-rise building, crowding people, busy New Yorkers... Manhattan, New York is a great playground for architects. Old and new buildings are mixed in this place. Lots of building owners want to rebuild and expand their buildings for profits. Renovation is a good way to rebuild their building and increase the benefit. This project worked as team with Liangying Chen and Yifan He. Our team focused on walking. We found some research about walking improving productivity and has benefits as social gathering aspect. We tried to change people’s working experience and create a new work culture by taking different approach to the common building element ‘ramp’.
Ramp View - Yifan He
Rather than just using walking as a mean of transportation, the ramp provides a better walking experience by arranging things to enjoy on the circulation. It provides a better working environment by maximizing the benefits of walking, which is familiar activity that is good for health and improves work productivity. The reason why we chose ramp is ramp has more benefits for workers. Our team tried to create ramp areas in the project building to maximize these benefits. So we planned these ramp areas as ‘Life area’ compared to ‘work area’.

Our site is located at 63 Madison ave in New York City. This site has a high density of surrounding buildings and the Madison square park located one block away. We can see there are many stores that provide food, so people can stop by and get some lunch around our site. But they provide only few seats for people. And there is only one park within 5-minutes walking distance. Liangying Chen

Empty Nester House Second semester Design Studio Project of Master Course, Co-housing, Buffalo, NY
The project is a co-housing house for people who have all their children independent and live alone. This is empty nesters. They are stressed by living alone in an empty nest home without a spouse. Co-housing will change their purpose of life, income, and everyday life. Introduce new family members for those who need a caring family.
Site Plan
In modern America, a large number of young people are homeless without family care. Due to their parents’ lack of care and ability, they can not enjoy what they deserve. I will introduce an empty nesters house that will provide a good living space for all of them by linking empty nesters with homeless youth in need of care.

Incubator center with Buffalo hearing and speech center Graduate Second-year Design Studio Project, 50 E North St, Buffalo, NY 14203
The site of this project is located at SUNY Buffalo Downtown campus. The project begins by extracting the innovator’s persona. My innovator is Vint Serf, who developed the Internet Protocol, and he has a hearing impairment. This site is the best place to develop and commercialize new communication methods and devices for patients.
Site view
Patients can use the new aids and developers can receive clinical trial data in real-time. Buffalo Hearing and speech center have a large number of patients under 5 years old. Many of these children also have autism. Under the influence of autism, some people have excessively sensitive hearing. The clinic teaches how to alleviate the symptoms of children who have these symptoms and live in harmony with other children when they go to elementary school. Therefore, this project is to design a new building combines the clinic and incubator center.

Chamber of the Time and Spirit Fifth-year Design Studio Project, Recreational facilities project in Taean-gun, South Korea
The resort is a place where people visit for the purpose of recreation and health recovery. Recreation can be written in Chinese characters as ‘休養.’ It means the recuperating body and mind while resting comfortably. The resort also could be interpret as Re(re) Sort(arrange).
It is easily accessible from anywhere in the country, and because of its geographical characteristics, China is so close that it can attract a lot of Chinese tourists. Taean is a place where a large oil spill occurred in 2007, where many people volunteered to clean the oil by hand.
It means the resort could change the thing dark to bright, messy to simple, boring to excited. I defined this meaning as recharge.
As a result of these efforts, Taean has become clean enough to be designated as a national park and is also home to the most famous Manlipo Beach in South Korea. Shinjin island with resort is designated pine forest as a forest preservation area, and there is a segregated beach to the south. There is only one road to the resort area, and when you cross the hill road, you will see a quiet site surrounded by mountains.
Shinjindo-ri is located in the middle of South Korea, and when the soon to be constructed Seosan Airport is completed, all air routes, land routes, and sea routes including the Daesan port are connected.

Innovation Incubator and Communal Living First semester Design Studio Project of Master Course, Incubator center and dormitory, SUNY at Buffalo, NY
This project will design a dorm of mixing different uses in one building to produce a living, working and leisure environment that supports mind-body balance. Principles of inclusive design will be applied through the lens of “biophilic design” to demonstrate how synergistic space for residences, creative production, and wellness can create an interesting architecture and enliven a university campus. Contemporary university environments can be very stressful places, particularly for young adults. Often students encounter social and cultural diversity for the first time when they live on campus. Attitudes and habits of living are learned at this stage of life that can affect health and wellness throughout the lifespan. Foundations are set for life-long learning, nutrition, exercise, socialization, and intimacy.
Indoor view of first floor
A focus on biophilic design is a unifying theme that can provide benefits for a very diverse population, offer a unique experience that will have a lasting impression, improve the reputation of a university and contribute significantly to achieving the ultimate goal of university life the production and communication of knowledge through the fabric of the environment itself. The site for the project will be on the North Campus along both sides of Lee Rd. between the service road and the traffic circle, including the site where the bookstore and the commons are currently located.
