NYC Medical Archipelagos Academic Work Instructors: Nahyun Hwang & David Eugin Moon Collaborator: Jujie Xu Medical care situation in New York is not only an annoying choice between expensive (private institutions)
and time-consuming (public services), but also concentrated in several medical archipelagos, which are isolated from the other part of the city. By occupying available space in the air in order not to block any existing traffic, this project proposes to bring accessible
health care related facilities to a more open state, create more public sanitation and medical facilities, and connect people who need medical help with medical institutions in different forms of staying. A special high-end hospital hotel with easy access to the Bellevue Hospital, rooftop
gardens, and a very good sunlight will act as a profit organization that can help support other non-profit parts of the public system.

The history of medical living started as early as the 5th century BC. The need of living close to medical help and receiving long-term treatment was the drive of it. Then communities also formed in and around the living spaces.

Hacking Mycelium Web Academic Work Instructor: David Benjamin; individual work The forest not only grows like us, but also communicates like us. Mycorrhizae, the underground network of
mycelium, sometimes also called the Wood-Wide-Web, connects roots of vascular plants, and allows them to transfer substances (carban, phosphorus, water, etc.) and exchange information.

Mycelium can also be used as building material, with a characteristic of flexible forms and high compressive strength. When using mycelium as building materials, we can start to imagine what if we hack into the network and share substances and information with the forest.
Also because we are exchanging materials with the forest, we need to rethink the new urban density not based on factors like transportation, but based on our local supports of material, energy, and productions.

Pollution Warnings between plants
Scenario: Pollution Monitor As toxic chemical travel around the network, plants get the information from each other and prepare themselves
from the attack or cut out the connection. We can use gene-engineered plants to illustrate pollution conditions.

Scenario: Water Maintainance As mycelium has the ability to transfer water to dry areas, helping new-born plants in severe situations, it’s also
possible for human to help maintain the water level in more sever condition of drought or flood for the forest. ZHIHANG FU | zf2183@columbia.edu 646-469-0961

The Imperial Kiln Museum is the highlight of the visit the Jingde County, however, it’s not enough to understand the city. This proposal tries to extend the tour to a 7-min commute extend to include more important spots. The county relies on kiln heavily, and the history of porcelain
making is still being inherited generation by generation. But the modern factories and historical district are separated. The plan is to connect them with shuttle buses and create a walking tour path in each area.

Place for a talk As any other university with a tradition of science and engineering courses, Tsinghua has all the stereotyped places of communication. However, when trying to inspire creativities, these ordinary educational facilities are not enough. Therefore, we intended to create a place for more communication types that fits human nature better. The new communication place's relationship with the old ones in the surrounding would also be an inspiring feature.

Kimbell Museum Study Model
What a thing will look like will not be the same, but what it is answering will be the same. It is a world within a world; that is what it will always be. ——Louis Khan
Kimbell Museum Study The reproduction and abstraction of Kimbell museum provide a direct view into how the outside world is guided into the interior.
Light & Emotions There is an undeniable correlation between Light and Human Emotions. Different approaches of light to people
would trigger different inner impulsions, thus creating places for varies styles of conversation.
Process models. Exploring different ways of guiding light from the exterior world into the interior world. The light
can indicate the universe and the pass of time, and create different atmospheres of emotions.

Density
Mapping Porosity Instructor: Lucien B Wilson Collaborator: Jiahe Chen Role in team: grasshopper programming and animation Porosity is a concept / term that people use to describe urban characteristics in relation to something with physical permeable attributes, perhaps to describe a sponge and
the way in which water easily flows through its pores. The problem is, the term is always described in a subjective way, leaving interpreting it a very confusing task, and may lead to misunderstandings. This project intends to measure prosity quantitatively, and map it onto the map together with other possibly related measurements (density, urban activity).
