WOOD FACTORY Columbia University GSAPP Advanced Studio VI LOCATION: Brooklyn, New York DURATION: Jan. 2020 - Apr. 2020 INSTRUCTOR: Mimi Hoang PROGRAM: Wood Factory PARTNER: Xueqi Hu ROLE: Conceptual Design, 3D Modeling, Floor Plan Drawing, Rendering, Diagrams
Wood as A Metaphor In this wood factory, we’re looking at wood in the waste stream and making wood furniture by wood waste. About 35% of the wood for making furniture and building materials is wasted every year. Most of the wood waste is burned or goes to landfills. In the meanwhile, as the popularity of disposable flat-pack furniture has risen, the amount of furniture taken to the landfill is accelerating. We’re going to recycle different kinds of waste wood in the city and make furniture of them. Inspired by the stacking wood drying method, the factory as a whole can be seen as a stack of several giant wood bars nearby Hudson River, which contains contemporary machine production space and traditional hand-making studio. It deals with wood waste in NYC and makes furniture, the sawdust produced in the process will be collected as a by-product. The factory thickens the coastline of Bush Terminal and builds up the relationship between the waterfront and the community.

PROCESS ANALYSIS The scale of the production space varies according to different stages. Massive space is used for machine production.There are also small studios and woodworking classes for people.Sawdust, as a great deal of by-products in the factory is collected for more uses, such as compost and fuel. 08

Site
Bush Terminal LOCATION Our studio site is the Bush Terminal, which is located on the Brooklyn waterfront in Sunset Park. Built between 1905 and 1925, it was a massive and revolutionary intermodal shipping, storage, and distribution complex. It’s part of a larger mayoral initiative aimed at retaining the city’s manufacturing, known as Made in New York. Our project will reconsider the entire Bush Terminal complex and the waterfront area, and envision a new future for it as a center for new industries.

WOOD STORAGE
Wood Drying Method
FROM WOOD TO ARCHITECTURE For the design concept, we were inspired by the natural form of wood storage. The stacked form creates gaps that allow the air flow. Here, wood can be interpreted as a product, an enclosure and a structure. In furniture systems, universal components and universal joints bring the product variety and extendibility.
FURNITURE SYSTEM
In the early conceptual model, we continued the stacking logic. Wood bars are components tied by the core joint at the center. The core servers as a wind tower, bringing fresh air to the storage space.

RAMBLING IN TIME Baghdad Design Centre Competition LOCATION: Baghdad, Iraq DURATION: June 2018 - Aug. 2018 INSTRUCTOR: Yutian Wang PROGRAM: Design Center INDIVIDUAL WORK
A Timenote of the Architectural Ruins The project finished an architecture which could bear the weight of time on a site blown up in the war. The destruction of buildings by war is often instantaneous, and the pain of unprepared blows brings people time to digest. From the broken wall of the site, I can see that this damage is difficult to erase. However, 15 years later, grass has grown on the ruins. People gather here to chat and have a lively book market around them. The shadow of war is diminishing. These positive changes seem to tell me that time can heal the pain, and the collective memory of the site is unconsciously reconstructed. Since the role of time here is extremely critical, I hope to use it as a pointcut for this design. The way humans travel through time is not like a spotlight, which disappears when swept. The yesterday, the last year and even many years that we have experienced still exist. Therefore, I want to present different emotional attributes about the past, present and future in this building, such as depression, heaviness, peace, happiness, etc., using various spaces to condense these atmospheres. When walking in the building, people may feel like rambling in many time fragments. And stories about sadness, waiting, discovery, surprise are happening in the building.

MAT BUILDING
Site
The fabric of the old city of Baghdad shows the characteristics of mat-building, which means it has obvious characteristics of unit repetition, but organic growth at the same time. Besides, many buildings contain courtyards to adapt to the local climate. Mat-building is a good channel to understand the open space of Islamic cities.
SITE AND ITS HISTORY
The Meeting Point Fracture Main Entrance 1 2

The site is the old Baghdad Governorate Building in AlRusafa side of Baghdad (old Al-Rusafa area), the site lies between Al-Rasheed st. to the north, Al-Mutanabbi st.,AlShuhadaa Bridge and Madrasa Mustansiriya to the east, the Abbasid Palace to the west and Al-Qishla and Tigris river to the south. The partially remaining building fabric on the competition site is what was once the Old Baghdad Governorate Building built in the early 20th century. The Old Baghdad Governorate building was heavily damaged due to the looting and the vandalism in the week that followed the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. The site is currently underused, and have not been properly maintained. The competition site and the skin of the old building are now called Al-Multaqa (the meeting point), where people usually meet before heading to the crowded surrounding areas.

THE CHRONICLE EVENTS IN BAGHDAD A CI TY W IT H R E S I S TA N C E A N D P R O G R E S S Founding(762): In 762 AD, Baghdad was chosen as the capital and named the "city of peace" by the second Khalif of the Abbasid Dynasty. In the center of the city is Mansour's "golden palace," surrounded by royal and prominent people's pavilions and it is also called "Round City".
Capital(1921): In 1921, Iraq declared independence and made Baghdad its capital. By the end of the 20th century, it had developed into a modern city and was the national political, economic, commercial, transportation and cultural center.
House of Wisdom (830): In 830, the Khalif established the national academic research institution "Bait Al-Hikma" (meaning " House of Wisom" ), which gathered scholars worldwide, promoting the development of Arab culture and civilization
Iraq War(2003-2011): Before the war, Baghdad was inclusive and open, confident and calm.The war began in 2003 and lasted more than eight years.During this period, numerous ancient buildings were bombed and the city was badly destroyed. Baghdad lost its prosperity and democracy.
Downfalls(1258&1401): Since 13th century, Baghdad was ransacked twice by the Mongol Hulagu and Timurid armies. A large number of architectural monuments and cultural relics were destroyed. Since then, Baghdad has long been under enemy occupation.
Status Quo(2011-2018): More than a decade after the war ended, life in Baghdad has improved a lot. Although there are still terrorist incidents happening and people's economic level has declined compared with the 1980s, most people still choose to go on living with hope and love.

COUNTYARD AS THE NEW ENTRANCE The secondary entrance is set at the place where the old wall was completely disconnected. Instead of stitching up the gap, I made a small courtyard with local characteristics, where people can enter the building more flexibly. It directly leads to the interior, or to the mian courtyard at the centre of the site, or to the second floor by the stairs. It should have a relaxing and free atmosphere, where the traces of war have just disappeared, fully embracing the new state.

While the original walls were made of bricks, the new walls are made of rammed earth, which changes over time. A path is defined in a gap between the new wall and the old wall.As the radius of the circle changes, the path also changes from wide to narrow. Wide place can serve as functional space, narrow place provides passageway only. Such path looped between newly built walls and remained walls both became notes of time taken for the site. People would feel like rambling in time when wandering in this architecture. It was the sanguine attitude of the locals that gave birth to a renascent building, then the building would record time and give it back to people.

A New Strategy for Co-living The project proposed a new strategy for co-living in the modern city. The number of people living alone in the world is increasing rapidly. The data shows that the number has increased by 55% during the 15 years from 1996 to 2011. In international metropolises, the proportion of such people is higher. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, and the aging trend that is difficult to suppress is one of the points that cannot be ignored. More and more elderly people are faced with the difficulties of living alone after their children’s leaving and their spouse’s passing away. Besides, young people also account for a large proportion of the global one-person households. Due to the rise in global housing prices, buying a house for young people in some countries has become a goal that they cannot achieve. Under such conditions, many young people living alone in metropolises choose to rent houses that are cheap, small in size, and poor in environment. Among the people who live alone, most of the elderly people live in houses they own, while many young people choose to rent. No matter what tenure type it is, they are more lonely than their peers living with others. What’s more, the financial situation of elderly people living alone is not as optimistic as the elderly living with others. In addition, with the increase of age, the time spent by the elderly living alone with their families and their hobbies is not as much as that of the elderly who live with others.

Youth's Narrow Dwelling
38
THE 「HOMESHARE」 Although the reasons for the formation of elderly living alone and youth living alone are not the same, they all experience a strong sense of loneliness. The elderly need the care and emotional sustenance, while young people need life guidance and financial sharing from the elderly. This demand feature increases the likelihood that the two groups will live together. Traditional dwellings are composed of dining spaces, living rooms, bedrooms and other functional rooms, but this form is only suitable for core families. For the elderly living alone, too much spare space is not safe and will bring a sense of psychological loss. For young people, this form does not apply because of their limited economic capacity. In the form of 「homeshare」, the elderly can share the restaurant and the living room with the young , and rent the spare rooms to them. This form links the communication between two lonely groups and is also the communication between generations.

From the basic functional rooms, to the possible residential types, to the residential units composed of six households, I designed a system step by step. With the four residential units with the largest degree of sharing, it forms a huge residential module that can accommodate 48 people. The first and third floors of this module are the same, providing sharable dining and living space. The elderly and the youth all have their own bedrooms to ensure privacy.

A New Type of Market Value In modern society, people are suffering from information explosion. They are trapped in the world of media which consist of loads of online information. Face-to-face communication is largely deprived. By designing an incubator in NYC, we try to find a new type of market value in modern society. The Story Fair is a platform where people can exchange story for story freely and equally to get personal interactions and sharing experience. We first listed seven types of stories and they have their tellers and listeners of diverse features and motivations. Every type of story has many attributes including emotion, privacy and length. They can be translated to the spatial language accordingly, that is atmosphere, openness and duration. In this way, we developed different types of space for each type of story. When people are physically satisfied, what is the next valuable thing we will look for. Since humans are sociable in nature, how we can get more anchored in the physical world when we are slowly detaching ourselves in the virtual world really matters.

MANIFESTO There are 5 space prototypes and we combine these spaces according to the similarity of their properties. The more you go higher, the more the space opens up, when you go lower, the space become more separated. In-between these two polars, the matching space lies. Between the space prototypes are various transitional spaces like corners, stairs, for people to share and communicate.
56
LOCATION
There is a subway station on the site and it has the potential to attract people. The exisiting business is dying, so we decide to transform it to a recording room as the entrance of the market. The building's appearance should be both standing out and integrated to the environment.

RE-THINKING RISK Columbia University GSAPP Advanced Studio V LOCATION: New Orleans, Louisiana DURATION: Sept. 2019 - Dec. 2019 INSTRUCTOR: David Benjamin PROGRAM: Flood Resilient Community INDIVIDUAL WORK
A Re-evaluation of Flood Risk Due to the change of climate, many parts of the world are experiencing natural disasters. Disaster risk evaluation and management is siganificant in mitigating disaster loss.Among all kinds of disasters, flood is one of the most serious ones due to the rising sea level and those low-income communities always get the greatest devastation. The US government should take the lead and cooperate with Climate Design Corps to re-evaluate flood risks. New communities would be created with architects and residents where they become developers and owners through collective action and have a better adaptation to the challenges of flood disasters. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed the majority of New Orleans and Lower 9th Ward suffered a heavy loss. As the climate continues to warm, the risk of flooding in the region is likely to increase. So I developed a multi-level flood resilient strategy: Firstly, the climate design corps work with architects to rezone the area by flood risk based on new map and densify the community. Then they create multi-level roads system 2 main roads to connect basic infrastructures .The Corps will also redesign the existing levee and activate the river bank with a wetland park.

DISASTERS IN LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES Due to the change of climate, many parts of the world are experiencing natural disasters. Disaster risk evaluation and management is siganificant in mitigating disaster loss. Low-income population tend to be at greater risk of disaster and take longer to bounce back from disasters. The reasons of the high risk relate to various aspects. Low-income people are more likely to work in sectors highly susceptible to extreme weather events, and live in houses that are less safe. They have no regular use of technology or enough support to recover from disasters. Among all kinds of disasters, flood is one of the most serious ones due to the rising sea level. In this project, I want to rethink the flood risk in those flooding communities and develop a series of new strategies to reduce the disater risk.
NEW STATEMENT
· As a country responsible for 1/3 of carbon emissions, the United States government should take the lead in developing policy and providing technical support to reduce the impact of carbon-related climate disasters.
OTHER COUNTRIES
· To address inequalities in employment and housing, Climate Design Corps should work with government, architects and communities to develop disaster resilience strategies to help residents adapt to the challenge of climate change in a variety of ways. · The ultimate goal is to reduce the disaster risk of low-income communities.

CLIMATE CORPS RE-EVALUATION The location is Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans. It has always been a poor community. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed the majority of this city and Lower 9th Ward suffered a heavy loss. As the climate continues to warm, the risk of flooding in the region is likely to increase. Rethinking risk is the first step to develop more effective flood resilient strategies. Currently, flood risk of is usually determined by FEMA Flood Map. It shows 3 geographicalparameters: flood zones, flood plain boundaries and based flood elevation. But it doesn’t show any human elements or housing parameters which should be taken into consideration. So I think the Climate Design Corps should re-evaluate flood risk, considering residents conditions such as economic capability, insurance condition and housing conditions such as plan layout and structure stability. In this new evaluation system, each parameter is divided into 3 levels and 3 colors, red, orange, yellow are used to illustrates the flood risk. A new climate design corps flood map comes out. It’s a combination of the site map, the FEMA flood map and the re-evaluation results.

Red people means Climate Design Corps who evaluate the risk and help to counstruct and the black people means residents. With all kinds of public buildings an housing, the area will become a community where residents become developers and owners through collective action.

LOCATION Currently, the site which is near to the Industrial Canal has a low density and a high flood risk, and lacks basic infrastructures. There are 4 steps to solve the problem. Firstly, the climate design corps work with architects to rezone the area by flood risk based on new map and densify the community. Then they create multi-level roads system 2 main roads to connect basic infrastructures. The Corps will also redesign the existing levee and activate the river bank with a wetland park.

SEASIDE BELVEDERE HFUT 3rd Year Academic Studio LOCATION: Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China DURATION: June 2017 - July 2017 INSTRUCTOR: Rong Pan PROGRAM: Village Activity Center INDIVIDUAL WORK
Two Paths for Villagers and Visitors This project created a meeting point where the villagers of Shaojiwan Fishing Village and the visitors come here can communicate with each other. Shaojiwan Fishing Village is located in Zhujiajian Island, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, China. Among the many islands in Zhoushan, Zhujiajian is a large island with convenient transportation, various public facilities and dense attractions. It attracts many tourists every year. Located at the foot of Daqing Mountain, Shaojiwan Fishing Village faces the sea and forms a perfect circle. As the best preserved fishing village in eastern Zhejiang, it has a beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. In the last century, it relied on fishery resources to have a rich and prosperous history. However, due to the vigorous development of tourism, fishery resources are becoming scarcer, and Tsuen Wan is gradually declining. Today it has become a forgotten village, although it is located at the entrance to the Daqingshan National Park, but it is rarely known due to the lack of supporting facilities. This program creates an activity center and observation deck for fishermen and tourists, hoping to enhance the vitality of the fishing village in and attract more people to stop.

THE INTESECTION OF TWO PATHS There are two paths leading to the original site. One runs down the mountain from the highway, and the other connects the site, the fishing village and the dock. In this project, the direction of the two paths at the end is changed, so that they intersected to become the location of the architecture. Among them, the route started from the mountain directly leads to the sea, which can be used as the main path for tourists. And the end of the paths is roated by an angle to form a viewing platform for staying. The other path can be used as a route mainly for villagers to get here from the fishing village or go back home from the dock.The building is not only the intersection of the two paths, but also a place for tourists and villagers where they can communicate with each other. In the selection of materials, grey concrete is mainly used to better integrate the building with the environment. However, the path is confined by white concrete to enhance its advancement and connection. PATHS RECONSTRUCTION

OFF THE GRID HFUT 4th Year Academic Studio LOCATION: Hefei, Anhui, China DURATION: Nov. 2017 - Jan. 2018 INSTRUCTOR: Yan Bai PROGRAM: Residential Area PARTNER: Shuang Chen
Life First, then Space, then Buildings This project carried out a new residential area and landscape design in an old residential area of Hefei city. Due to the promotion of open community policy in China, more and more communities begin to remove the wall and connect with the city. The community is not only a home enjoyed by residents, but also a space shared by urban residents. In the process of urban planning, this idea not only increases the vitality of the city, but also enhances the communication between people. The site where the scheme is located is in a complex situation, with old buildings, serious damage, insufficient supporting facilities and a lack of public space. Considering that it is extremely incompatible with the surrounding urban environment at present, we chose to replan and design. However, the two most core meeting points were retained and connected with the two ends of the site to form the main axis of the landscape. The original public functions of the site were restored in line with the axis layout. In terms of the residence, different styles suitable for different ages are designed, and the height is coordinated with the urban skyline.

RE-THINKING BIM
GSAPP Visual Studies Elective DURATION: Sep. 2019 - Dec. 2019 INSTRUCTOR: Jared Friedman PROGRAM: Lever House Reprogramming PARTNER: Xinglu Zhu SOFTWARES: Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper The Lever House property is currently undergoing a change in ownership due to the financial woes of the previous owner. Many of the larger tenants have already begun vacating the building, with more tenants expected to depart in the next few years. In addition to the financial troubles, there is increasing competition to attract tenants with many other luxury office buildings popping up around the Lever House along with the new developments at Hudson Yards. In this project, we proposed several new programs for the site that can bring in a different mix of tenants, and alter the building accordingly in order to accomodate.

ARTIFACT OR FICTION Love Shield In an era of pandemics, hugging became a luxury. People conduct all kinds of social activities on the Internet, no more face-to-face conversation, no more physical contact. When they feel lonely, they hug trees to overcome isolation. However, love is more than just a few lines on a screen. It needs to be delivered through something tangible. Love Shield can bring you back into the arms of your beloved ones, whether you are partners, friends, parents or children, put it on and feel each other again. The shield is made of a kind of highly stretchable and comfortable membrane material which can block viruses. Gloves on either side (or one side, depending on the need) are available in different materials and sizes. It is an item of clothing that everyone has during the epidemic years, because the desire to touch and be touched is always hidden in people’s nature.
