Intersticity 2012 FALL C-BIP STUDIO GSAPP INSTRUCTOR: DAVID BENJAMIN With new models of more intelligent building design operations emerging, there arises a need to negotiate between the brutal efficiency of computational optimization on one hand and on the other non-quantitative architectural values—especially in complex cultural contexts such as rebuilding the city of Basra. Given the task of designing a tower in a city such as Basra, we developed a position based on the idea of interstitiality, both spatially and conceptually. This new tower will establish a framework that mediates the intersection of the culturally diverse urban fabric of the local city and the new modern development of the Basra Sport complex. Through our methodology that combines collaboration, computation, and intuition, we are able to produce a design that strikes a balance between the city and the new development, between culture and sustainability, and between a more traditional approach to design and one with more explorative possibilities.

Vertical Typologies I 2013 gsapp I
Cities are ever-changing entities. Old and shabby urban spaces are reshaped and transformed day by day to improve the living conditions of its inhabitants, thus working as a social agent. However, new environments created in the redevelopment of the city oftentimes establish a noticeable frontier with pre-

existing conditions, hence not achieving the desired integration and public activation. Located in a peripheral area of Chinatown in New York, the site is placed adjacent to a set of modern buildings that substituted a notorious overcrowded slum. The redevelopment of the area included large parks, massive governmental constructions and high-rise apartment buildings. Consequently, it broke the continuity of uses and volumes of the traditional urban fabric composed of tenements, as well as its scale. Positioned at the border of two milieus, the site includes a large park at one side and extremely dense residential buildings at the other. My strategy proposes to introduce a new blending filter, the “Vertical Typologies” as an opportunity to mediate between the two divergent urban densities. With the inclusion of this new intermediating scale, the prolific set of activities of Chinatown would extend to the new area, at the same time that its congested urban fabric would be alleviated with the new open horizontal and vertical space.

Grid Off Grid 2012 SUMMER STUDIO GSAPP INSTRUCTOR: FLORIAN IDENBURG, JING LIU Modernity has been fostered for 200 years in Manhattan by the city grid. Its illusory rigidity allows for improvised and disordered elements to adhere to the system and the urban fabric. The site of this studio is located Union Square, a public square sectioned diagonally by Broadway, creating a 3 block void full of activities and interaction, but also anomalies and conflicts. The project attempts to use Bio-incubators as a means to explore the nature of autonomy in work and the need to elude the aggressive external conditions of the area. The operative strategy is inspired by the negotiation between the disturbance produced by the existing organization in New York and its work system. Therefore, several types of modulated units, emulating the city grid, compose the proposed Bioincubator. These modules are placed underground, creating a new level of working space, as well as a different elevation for the characteristic vegetation of Union Square. The juxtaposition of the units provides privacy, individuality when desired, in addition to publicity and social collaboration in distinctive areas.

Equipped with the use of the CATIA software, we developed a building component addressed to one or more architectural issues. Afterwards, we worked with elements developed by C-BIP students in order to apply them in our operative strategy.

HORIZONTAL BALCONY
A MULTI-FUNCTION FACADE SYSTEM
Our project implemented a faรงade system based on the adaptation to the existing sunlight conditions, optimizing the passive sustainability. The scheme is composed by an arrangement of louvers that are rotated searching for higher efficiency obstructing sunlight. Therefore, horizontal pieces are place at the South and North elevations, while vertical pieces covered the East and West ones. Enhanced by the development of a shading panel that switch the orientation at the corners of the building, the louver system minimizes the thermal increase of the interior while maximizing the indirect light.

MUSEUM OF URBAN SCAVENGED EQUIPMENTS
2007 THESIS DESIGN TUNG HAI UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTOR: CHUNTEI DAVID TSENG Due to the booming economy, the quickly upgraded living conditions of Taiwanese inhabitants were epitomized by the flourishing apartment buildings. Built mainly in the mid twentieth century, these constructions established a distinctive urban condition at NanJiChang, in Taipei. A new parasitical skin, consisting in low-tech equipment, wraps most of the buildings facades of the mentioned buildings. Composed by cheap materials, the facilities are used as advertising boards, and as extensions of interior living space. This new and floppy envelope caused multiple structural and sanitary problems around the neighborhood, triggering the determination to demolish them in 2005. As an attempt to reminisce this temporary and vanishing urban experience, my strategy consists in enacting its parasitical nature in a new construction, hence weaving two different spatial conditions. Therefore, the envelope of the new building works as an interpretation and a transformation of the NanJiChang urban experience adapted to the new reality.

Happy Life After School 2006 FALL STUDIO TUNG HAI UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTOR: DAVID HONG Design is our response to environment, interaction, social structure and programmatic system. Our ideas are often preconceived and restricted by deep-rooted values in our society. In this project, I attempt to develop a conceptual thinking based on the reaction as an abnormality of a monster. The normalization of the monster to fit in our society and be compatible with society is the logic explored in this exercise in order to avoid the received ideas. Focuses on Taiwanese culture of after-school classes, the project aims to provide an alternative to the distorted notion that people´s success is evaluated depending on all kinds of ranking and certification. There, in the local Cram Schools, the knowledge is condensed and acquired more efficiently than in the official educational system. My approach to the future educational space in Taiwan is a mutation of the Cram School, enhanced by the interaction activities commonly provided by the traditional schools. The new prototype offers gyms as real sport fields, study rooms as real libraries, and circulation as real meeting places. Thus, the enriched and improved Cram Schools become the new real educational methodology for the Taiwanese students.

Urban Pure Land 2005 FALL STUDIO TUNG HAI UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTOR: CHANG XIU LIN Located in a central area of Taichung, the site is surrounded by medium sized apartment buildings developed in the 1950s. The intersection of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taichung Port Rdâ&#x20AC;? defines its characteristic triangular shape, creating a spot of activity concentration, destined to religious services and affordable lodging. The proposed strategy divides the bulky required volume into different chunks designed for each use, rotating them to enable the sunlight to get inside and the vegetation to grow vertically. This division into smaller volumes is a response to the corner condition aiming to blend with the contextual scale.
