Invisible City // Santa Monica Airport

The Invisible City at the former Santa Monica Airport site is an ecological and urban transformation that would provide high-performance landscaping and increased residential density.

The scheme provides for housing while preserving most of the land surface and enhancing the quality of life in Santa Monica with parks and recreational areas. The housing will be established underground maximizing space and providing a safe environment from natural hazards

such as fire, wind, and earthquakes. Implemented with urban resilience in mind, the underground dwelling saves up to 80% of energy, limits noise, reduces pollution, and maintains consistent temperatures.

This agenda allows the city to move forward to a new paradigm of urbanism, where built forms and land uses are closely integrated with the prioritization of green spaces and people-oriented travel modes such as walking, cycling, and public transit.

Agri-Industrialism // Korea Times

Distribution problems regarding spoilage and costs continue to increase when farms are further away from the metropolis. Furthermore, due to rapid urban development, some spaces are less developed or even overlooked. Folding the farm back into the city to alleviate the issue of distribution is proposed through the following 4 strategies: Analyze found conditions; Occupy found conditions; Reactivate environment and land value;Transform economy. Since it is still a developing farming technology,

hydroponic systems are expensive; thus, the system cannot be a standalone object. Using the rapidly growing developments in Downtown Los Angeles’ Arts District as a catalyst for hydroponics forms a new way of looking at Arts Districts and strengthens the relationship between agriculture and industrial environments.

Archipelago // Hainan Island

The proposed is a natural floating island chain that challenges the ecology of the ocean is explored through the lens of programming and differentiating between passive and active water ponds. We wanted to explore different notions of recreations which the landscape within each island follows a piazza format. The big organizational strategy is the main island clusters and the pedestrian and bike bridges that work as a secondary connection in our island. Each of these islands has mixed-use programs

that are surrounded by anchor points which define the main island identity. Also, there is a gradient from public to private as you navigate from the inside out. The Archipelago is a tourist destination that embraces ambiguity and excitement though natural and augmented landscape. Our project seeks to find a balance between culture and nature.
