ARCH 502 24h Urban Compound Fordham Street

Spring 2014 Professor Mark Wamble The studio required student to base on one case study, developing a new strategy by transplanting the case from its original context to the urban context in Houston. The West university district is a typical community in the city of Houston. The 24-hour compound in this district will be a center for the residents or guests to work out, take training courses, and have meetings and social activities. The program is flexible and the rooms or swimming pools should be changeable to fit different activities during day and night.

I took the tube-like module from my case study–Vitra Haus by Herzog & de Mueron, making the tube self-folded and compressed at its two ends to create a new module. Therefore single-high, doublehigh and triple-high spaces are formed in one module, creating rich space experience. Within this module, indoor and outdoor programs, group and private activities could be reasonable placed. By arranging modules with different widths parallel on the site, I created a porous system in the urban grid of Houston, which connecting the residential and commercial sides on the two sides of the site effectively.

ARCH 503 CIVIC BOUNDARIES Fall 2014 Professor Carlos JimĂŠnez The scheme of Civic Boundaries project is based on the idea that the civic life should achieve smoothly transition between different institutions and should maintain the continuity with the urban condition. By looking at previous geometry strategies for civic building, the project innovated in articulate the existing of different institutions within one singular volume and coordinate their relationship at the same time. The combination of material and the formal language also create different reading in the context of 3300 Richmond Avenue.

ARCH 503 PUBLIC REALM Fall 2014 Professor Carlos Jiménez




The common master framework I worked with other two fellows in the studio suggested a combination of two urban cultures: verticality and horizontality. Under the principle set up by the master frameowork, in order to make these two parts interact with each other in a positive way, the connection of the common master frame work is not enough. This project aimed the densification issue of the super blocks, developing a strategy in which two sets of grid used to determine the architecture on one block. A ground grid and a highrise grid (block grid) determined the orientation of middle rise buildings and highrise building respectively. Lower part the highrise transits its orientation with the growth of its height. By the transition and integration of the grids, the project made the horizontality in a highrise and the verticality in the middle rises possible.
