Our Project aims to create a redevelopment model in West Suwon that integrates and empowers young university graduates, middle aged, retired citizens and the foreign community with educational components. This model will be located near Suwon station to take advantage of accessibility to Seoul along with current affordable real estate prices. Envisioned as an education corridor, the hub will stitch surrounding fragmented neighborhoods with upcoming large commercial infrastructures to create a holistic urban context. It will also provide different types of housing from affordable dormitories for young entrepreneurs to market rate housing for middle age families and the foreign community Every year, over 300,000 highly educated young graduates compete for employment in South Korea for a limited number of jobs (18,500 jobs in 2014). Our project goal is to create an environment that encourages entrepreneurship among these young graduates to provide services for middle age families and the foreign community in Suwon. These services will include education, research, urban farming and provide continuing education for middle age citizens while helping the foreign community to adapt to Korean culture.

Suwon, as a part of the Seoul metropolitan area, has a crucial location which is eighty minutes by train and ninety minutes by bus to Seoul. Moreover, Suwon’s land price is more affordable compared to other areas in Seoul’s metropolitan region.

What defines Suwon’s character is the high number of young and foreign population.

On a regional scale, 25% of the young population between 20 to 35 years of age and 30% of the foreign population in Korea are highly concentrated in Seoul’s metropolitan area. Since the percentage of those demographics surpass the one in Seoul, Suwon has potential to attract a young and culturally-diverse population, letting the city become a dynamic place.

One interesting phenomenon is that 92% of young graduates are paying for continuous education programs such as language, license and career advice classes. Based on the current need of the younger generation to find a job and other demographic educational needs for continuing their education, our proposal will provide different types of educational programs that can target diverse demographics from young graduates to retired people.

The current context of the site is dominantly low-dense single-family residential areas in

Corridor Plan

As a new guideline for densifying West Suwon, we propose a secondary zoning code in educational purpose combining with existing primary zoning code; Commercial 1, Commercial 2 and Green. Since the combination provides various options for getting an increased Lot coverage and FAR bonus, this secondary zoning system may promote the

participation of private developers to accomplish the educational infrastructures in West Suwon.

Thus a certain percentage of educational donation within new developments will be an opportunity to find the balance between the new commercial environment with the existing neighborhood in terms of its sustainability.

We are not only creating the

additional zoning code as a new guideline but we are also proposing different commercial spaces based on its geographic location.

If the site is closer to Suwon station, more dense commercial uses will be provided in the new constructions, which will be naturally leading the variation of affordability on the site.

BIGGER DARBY 2014 ASLA Student Honor Award A Landscape Approach for a Coherent & Resilient Watershed The Ohio State University 2014 Spring Crits: Sarah Cowles Nick Glase Site: Big Darby, Ohio Working Group: 2014 Spring Stuido

Bigger Darby is a land use proposal for the 84 square mile territory governed by Big Darby Accord in Central Ohio. The Big Darby Accord, adopted in the mid2000s, unites public and private interest to improve watershed protection and provides a framework for future development. Bigger Darby is an alternative, landscape-based approach to contemporary watershed planning that enhance the vernacular landscapes of the Big Darby region, improves the health of the watershed, and provides new development opportunities.

Bigger Darby investigates complementary solutions for the Accord by more deeply examining the context of the site’s rich land-use pattern. Beginning with the simple act of creating ‘ bigger ‘ edges between existing land uses, Bigger Darby speculates how small scale practices, such as rebuilding a ditch or country road, might lead to a broader spectrum of improvements such as improved water quality, habitat for wildlife, more productive farms, welcoming landscapes, a stronger sense of place, and a more cohesive regional identity.

Located on the north shore of the Staten Island, Port Richmond is an isolated community. The neighborhood lacks a local identity and occurred and Port Richmond is today a community in decay.

The project primarily aims at identifying the local assets( built, landscape,connectivity, community and opportunities) of Port Ricmond. It then offers a new synergy to revitalize the neighborhood. We strongly believe that Port Richmond has all the resources is needs to be activated again. The strategy is to link and connect them to create a new vision for the neighborhood. The community is the central element of the project and acts as the main developer and unifier of the vision. From landscape and social infrastructures, to new housing typologies and new job opportunities, Synerge(ne)tic’s goal is to create a new social ecology.

Thus, our vision becomes a process, and in a bigger picture, we can imagine a much more universal approach. From local to global, Synerge(ne)tic emphasizes a new vison for developing communitues.

There are many educational and career oriented resources that currently exist within the Hudson Valley region that are not being utilized to their full potential. In the case of Newburgh; this is largely due to a disconnection between the type of resources avaialable and the residents they are meant to be serving. The existing workforce is generally less equipped to take advantage of higher paying opportunities while a trend of younger, educated professionals are leaving the area to look for job opportunities elsewhere.

The Platform aims to establish a neighborhood of resources that through a unique form of mentorship and exposure to existing resources, will provide residents with opportunities for education, upward mobility and entrepreneurship.

This project was introduced to the studio by the Columbus based Landscape Architecture firm, MKSK. Louisville as America’s Fastest warming City and its tree canopy considered one of America’s Worst. The city government tried to change the site to a high density community to attract people to come and stay. The west waterfront park was proposed to be a destination not only for the residents but also tourists.

My proposal was to connect and expand to create an area that connects the river with neighborhood as well as the city. The main design component was creating a vibrant community with an elevated park inside of the urban forest. Using Mixed used buildings encourage walking in the community and made it possible to always have an eye on the street to watch the community. The central green spine served a central point to place different programs to provide areas for working, living and playing. The west-east was major vehicular traffic routes, while the north-south were major routes for pedestrian traffic. The existing 15 feet high flood wall will be replaced by the elevated park.

WEBBING THE CITY Singapore Downtown

Modularity Exploration The Ohio State University 2013, Spring

Crits: Katherine Bennett

In order to solve the problems caused by global warming issues such as sea level rise and habitat loss, this project focused on proposing solutions for future cities. One solution was to wrap a triangulated module around the mega city of Singapore and turn it into a rain forest. The structure is made of lightweight bamboo which is native to the south Asia. The mesh surface is made of 100% polypropylene, a self-reinforcing polymer which is fully recyclable.

Triangulated structures are assembled on the site allow vegetation and wild life to occupy the space based on the different micro climates.

Bamboo pipes acts as both structure and support for water channels throughout the surface of buildings. These water pipes can also serve as a cooling system for buildings. Pipes are porous to feed plants and animals to grow over and around the buildings.

Liter Of Light Lightening Manyatta by using off-grid street light

Independece Research

GSAPP Spring Semester Team: Huiwen Zhu, Jun Park

Site Location n Manyatta, there are 17 primary schools and 2 secondary schools. Unfortunately, crimes targetting these students have never ceased, and it is expected by the community that such crimes occur due to the lack of lights on their streets, specifically around the schools. For schools locating at Manyatta B, despite its close location to Nyamasari market, its condition is worse.

Installing street lights therefore is one of the most important objectives what Manyatta community is pursuing now.

In this sense, our project proposes to implement street lights, in which, schools will be the showcase, outlets for exhibiting new infrastructure and for raising awareness of the needs of street lights.

However, since not much budget can be provided, new types of low-cost street light development is needed for the community instead of installing a typical street lights with a power grid.

Using renewable energy as the energy source is a great alternative. According to our research, solar energy is considered as the most promising above all others. Kisumu region receives an abundant solar radiation , an average 6800 wh/m with its constant temperature of about 29 degree cecius during the day.

Utilizing the abundant resource at Manyatta, the project proposes to use a solar panel to generate street light.

As for the project phasing, local people will be first gathered and will be learned the steps to create a bottle light. Through this process, ownership will be spontaneously emerged within the community. And this will eventually solve the potential vandalism issues. Once street lights are fully distributed to the community, the next step will be generating a portable light so that peole can use at home for more private use like cooking or studying. When one goes out, this light can also be used as a flash. At this stage, lights become nomadic.

Junshan Lake is located on the south side of Ji’an city.

It is surrounded by Shanluo Mountain and a national forest park. Based on site analysis, the two major elements for design concept were ecology and Eco-life.

Phase I of the park design focused mainly on creating destinations of the city which could provide a public entertainment space for the residents. The area of Phase I was the northern part of the lake, close to the school and exiting high density communities.

The views from the lake were moved towards the city and Shanluo Mountain by creating a series of elevated viewpoints. Junshan Lake Park also offers space to hold public events such as an annual dragon boat competition.

For this project, I participated in the phase I design process under the team leader Yaoyang Sun. I finished the most of the site analysis and renderings with my colleagues.

Data Mining the City Discovering the Hidden “Hot Spots” For HongKong

Python, QGIS, Tilemill

GSAPP Spring Semester Team: Huiwen Zhu, Tzu-Yi-Zhuang, Jessica Chuang, Xiaobei Yang

China tourists in Hong KongIn 2013, nearly 41 million mainland visitors came to Hong Kong, accounting for 75% of total tourist arrivalsMore than half of them came for just one day They contributed 34% to total retail sales in Hong Kong last year The tourism industry as a whole contributed 3.9% to the economy in 2012 As both physical and economical relations between Hong Kong and Shenzhen are getting closer since 1997, and especially after the visa conditions changed for shenzheners, increased mainlanders travelling in Hong Kong. Our project hypothesized that SZers travelling in HK would be attracted by the top ranking hotspots as listed in Tripadvisor, and by tracing the moving patterns of SZers who check-in weibo in those hotspots, we would be able to find where else SZers go beyond those hotspots. By figuring those “Hidden Hotspots”Discovering “hidden hotspots” by visualizing the no. of weibo check-in in those locations We assume that some of the Weibo user will visit these hot places that you could found from internet, such as through TripAdvisor. These user will not only post their comments at these hot places but also some places that you could not find from TripAdvisor. The objective for us is to detect all these data and extract the hidden place behind the fame As shown on the map on the Right, these are the hidden hot spots that we identified with its relative function.

Looking careful at the function for the location, the top two is actually the High-speed Rail Station on the boarder, which is the major transit for people in SZ area to cross over.

Along the rest of the places, we could find amenity function such as House Racing, and Gambling facility.

These are not allowed to TRIPADVISOR 1 facilities open in mainland China, which I think TOPfor20HKRANKING is stimulant local economy HOT SPOT development.
