The Grand Canal, known to the Chinese as the Jing– Hang Grand Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the longest canal or artificial river in the world. Starting in Beijing, it passes through many cities of China, which also links to the Yellow River and Yangtze River. The oldest parts of the canal date back to the 5th century BC, but the various sections were first connected during the Sui dynasty. The site is located on the eastern area of Beijing, between the 4th and 5th ring road. South of the canal provides office complexes and to the north inhabits residential apartments; the canal being the division of the two districts. The project is a masterplan of the entire 3.5 waterfront, including the redesign of five existing bridges with the proposal of a sixth. Our design focuses heavily on pedestrian and bicycle circulation, allowing users to enter and interact more with the proposed masterplan. I was responsible for the redesign of the fourth and fifth existing bridges, drawing inspiration from nature, and the rich history of the canal with traditional Chinese construction. The design was created through Rhino and Grasshopper.

bridge 4

The fourth and fifth bridge draws inspiration from traditional design, whilst maintaining a modern style. Bridge 4, also called “The Classic of Canal”, is designed with modular elements which is similar to that of traditional construction of boats. It serves as a passage way for trains. There is a platform that allows pedestrians to occupy just below the top. Bridge 5, dubbed “The Dance of Canal”, draws its smooth and organic forms from nature. The bridge becomes heavily utilized during rush hour for many pedestrians. It becomes the main route for getting across the canal because of the nearby metro station.

Within the Shenzhen Poly Theater, this 300-capacity theater is located in the cultural and commercial center of Shenzhen, China. The 2,100m2 renovation includes the main lobby exterior and interior, the outdoor rooftop, a multifunctional lounge and the main performance space. This space embraces a variety of genres and functions, including world renowned acrobatic performances, dances, music and theater. It will also serve as a laboratory for cross art-form experimentations and new creations. Within each journey of the space, the interior starts to hint to the user that they are occupying a world unlike earth. The design language introduces bio-organic forms inducing an unworldly feeling. Starting from the entrance lobby the cave-like cladding allows the user to feel as if they are bound ward to an unknown world. Up through to the rooftop, curved stacking platforms shows signs of a Babylonian idea world. As the audience approaches the interior of the main theater the forms start to become more tangible hinting to the creation of a fantasy planet. My design scope focused on the lounge/bar area. The 735m2 multifunctional space is designed with the intention of showing a fantasy like world. The prefabricated laser cut aluminum panels mimics the form of a flower and the floor follows shape of the geometry. 13

Within the theater space, we divided the space into two floors, with the first floor containing the lounge and the second floor containing the main theater space.

The space is multi-functional for various purposes: afternoon cafe/tea, evening dinner show, and night time lounge. The concept of the design is driven by prefabricated aluminum panels and is integrated with the existing column structure grid of the building.

The Beijing Ideal Building is located in the high-tech industrial and commercial center of Haidian District, just on the inner edge of the 4th ring road. This mixed-use 22 story building is split into office and residential. With floors one to seven for office use and the rest residential. Our renovation only covers up to the seventh floor, where the offices will be located. The project is split into multiple phases. The first, second, and seventh floor are within the first phase, and the remaining floors are part of the second phase. The building’s façade is also part of the first phase. My design scope covered the entirety of the seventh floor. The concept was to create a tech environment to promote a healthy and comfortable work space. Although the space was quite short, 2.4 meter tall, the interior was designed to make the space feel taller. 23

25


The renovation contains two phases: the facade, first floor, second floor, and seventh floor are part of the first, and with the remaining 4 floors belonging to the second phase. Our design intent is to create a tech and industrial feel to the exterior and interior. The language of the facade continues through into the interior to give the relationship a stronger connection. The facade is created with lasercut aluminum panels which are made offsite and assembled onsite. The perforations of the facade create a dynamic visual upon the existing building.

7th floor total area: 1,585m2

6th floor total area: 1,585m2

2nd floor total area: 1,740m2

Within the interior, the spacious and modern design helps emphasize the tech and industrial concept. 1st floor total area: 1,900m2

Materials such as the wood and concrete flooring, white paint, and the black metal frames allow the interior to feel more modern and dynamic. The concrete blocks are placed selectively nearby the entrances of the elevator and offices. Within the blocks are blue resin boards to offer more of a tech and industrial look.

I assisted on the design and drawings of the elevator and facade panels. Once the design was set, I prototyped a 1:1 scale of the panels and coordinated with the fabricators. Each pattern was created in Grasshopper and met the requirements of the fabricators.

Located on the northeastern 4th ring road in Beijing, the continual exterior form of the Red Vicutu Flagship Store works a sculptural focal point for consumers. This continual form continues to the interior and gently reveals the spacious 350sqm commercial space. Drawing inspiration from classical architecture, the interior geometry performs a continuous movement guiding the visitors through the space. Multiple arches standing almost 3 meters tall alternates in size and orientation creating a continuous, gentle space which becomes a sculptural interpretation of classical architectural colonnades. Within the arches, the sculptural pieces inhabit three different seating zones all including fitting rooms, a 3D printed sculpture area, and multiple custom designed product display areas.

Located within the sixth floor of the Lido Orient Financial Center, this 155m2 atrium design encourages a peaceful and serene space for its workplace. Taken inspiration from Japanese zen ideologies, the space utlizes natural materials to evoke a calm and rooted feeling. Users are able to interact with the space whilst taking a break from their duties at the office. The zen garden is placed in front of the large open windows, which frames the view to the city skyline. I oversaw the complete design of the western atrium from all phases of design and construction. The west atrium is modeled with Rhino and Grasshopper.

The west atrium, also called the Zen Atrium, gives the user a moment of rest from their day. All the natural materials including the natural outside light invokes a calm and serene space. Multiple seating areas are placed in front of the sand garden directing the users to the view of the cityscape outside. The sand garden stimulates a more reflective moment for the user and connects themselves closer to nature.

PENTHOUSE BEYOND, SEE 5/RESTORE (E) DOWNSPOUTS TO (N) ROOF DRAINS, SEE ROOF PLAN

Rising 39 stories, this mixed-income, mixed-use development will consist of a 540-unit luxury apartment tower adjacent to a 462,000 square foot office building that will be the new home of the San Francisco Planning, Building and Public Works Departments. The residential tower will include 55,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail with twenty percent of the residential units for affordable and low-income households. In addition, the owners will salvage the front portion of a historic Coca Cola bottling plant on 11th Street and Mission Street and revitalize it into a retail space. I was brought on by Y.A. studio in October 2016 to assist on the 1500 Mission project. For the first few months, my scope of work was focused on the salvation and restoration of the historic Coca Cola building (historic significance included its art deco design and its importance to the city of San Francisco throughout the years). My work included accurate 3D modeling of the building, structural coordination with structural engineer firm Structus Inc, the design of the proposed spaces for future tenants, bike parking layout, and site demo permits. The building is currently under demolition based on these documents and permits. The project is currently in construction and it is estimated to be completed in May 2020.

coca cola building - basement level 54


The remaining months of work were on the residential portion with HKS Architects. From there, my scope of work was focused on basement levels, and the first level. My scope of work included the design of circulation for pedestrians and for the parking facility (basement level 1 and basement level 2 which included automobile parking and bike parking).

This project is an interactive L.E.D. public artwork on the south and east facade of the Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Data Central was in collaboration with the Social Media Workgroup (SMW) and the American Institute of Architect Students - University of New Mexico Installation Committee (AIAS - UNM). The design is based on the idea of movement from the nearby traffic. Because the facility is located on two very active streets near the university, the intent was to capture that movement through the placement of the L.E.D. strips. There are twenty strips on each glass plane that incrementally rises in slope to visually represent the movement of the streets. The installation of the project consists of multiple 3D printed modules that I designed for the attachment to the window sill and the L.E.D. strips. There are two types of modules: one module is designed to be a place holder at the end of the aluminum “C” channels and the other module determines the angle of the L.E.D. strips.

The use and experience of space under the pivots is ever changing.

1063

1000

10

1151

Residents live in a space below a diverted river. This diversion brings water through a carefully balanced series of clay pivots. Like the natural landscape, they form a continuous surface which creates the opportunity for flexible program above and below. With the pivots, the second landscape emerges and shifts in tune with the rhythms of natural forces.

960

1052

1041

1050

GA

1066

Different configurations of pivots can create a continuity of water flow and occupiable surface, as well as complex light conditions. Within the pivot mechanism is a water source which feeds into the clay bed. The clay gains weight until it topples the balance. The water source does not humidify the clay bed again until it has returned to its original flat position.

GB

1110

The Second Landscape is a self-sufficient architectural intervention that capitalizes on the forces that come from the environment. How can water and clay alter the spatial and environmental conditions of a commune, so that the experience of living is optimized to the rhythms of nature?

A simple device such as a pivot operates like a visual scale for understanding weight changes. Although the absolute change might be very small, the geometry of the pivot amplifies it visually. How can the intervention harness the power of a river source, and also be reactive to the amount of sun exposure, the ambient temperature, and the wind conditions?

Placing the pivoting machine in a variety of small-scale environments with different characteristics, we can then extrapolate information on a larger scale. Even a simple residential environment has complex conditions of humidity, sun exposure, air flow, and water debit. Parallels can then be drawn between the local environments of our experiments to specific natural environments.

What if we could change the relationship with the citizen and the natural environment? What if we could change cities’ landmarks? By 2050, 70% of world population will be living in cities, what will the icons of a city be by then? Santa Caterina Market in Barcelona, designed by architects Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue in 2005 is still one of the most popular icons of the city. The food market is a host to many Catalans and tourists alike year-round. The essence of the market is the design of its notable cover. Our proposal is to transform the market into a living urban farm. This is a system that will evolve through time. Local produce from the area can be grown year-round from the solar energy that comes from the photovoltaic panels. The umbrella-shaped devices contain the panels that harvests the energy and is designed to fit above the roof. Each photovoltaic panel is able to track the motion of the sun, always following its movement, so that it can receive maximum sunlight.

87


santa caterina market in 2050

The roof of Santa Caterina has a surface area of 40,000 m², which we propose to utilize for energy. The urban farm will grow local produce and each type of vegetable has a distinct growing condition. The urban farm will grow local produce from the area. Each type of vegetable has a distinct and unique growing condition. Produce can be grown year-round because the urban farm has enough energy to outsource. radiation analysis of the roof

We created a prototype for harvesting solar energy. The prototype uses 9 (2 volts each) solar cells which are controlled through Arduino. Each cell is designed to fit seamlessly onto the 3D printed servo-motor modules. Within our Arduino code, we have designed it to track and follow the motion of the sun as it moves through the day. The energy that is generated from the cells are then converted to generate power.

Its vertical structure grows from the waste and compost that the farm produces. It is a symbiotic process in which the compost is the energy for the structure and for the produce. This aims to reduce the carbon footprint of conventional farming and product distribution. Within the vertical structures, there are artificial microclimates adapted to each produce, so they can grow year-round. As a result, the benefits of this cyclical system allow the market to be self-efficient. The community can harvest from the structures whilst replenishing it with waste that it produces.

How is privacy perceived by the public and to the NSA (National Security Agency). In a way, self-reflection is privacy. It is what we are and how we display ourselves. We tend to manipulate our image by blending in with society and change how others perceive us. We are hesitant to show our most intimate information to others and because of this we manipulate our image to fit the needs of society. The project allows society to perceive how privacy is displayed publicly and privately. It is located within the downtown area of Albuquerque, New Mexico across to the Civic Plaza. The architecture creates a thin barrier within the volumes defining public and NSA. The mirrored volumes manipulate our image of what is there and blends itself within the site. It is only in the interior of the space where the public is allowed to enter those volumes and essentially reach into the sock drawer of the NSA – where the most private information is stored and is ultimately disclosed.

101


102


We have hidden things in our home to protect what is important to us. For example, we can hide our most private entities within the house, such as the sock drawer. What makes the sock drawer such a private condition? The banality of the socks hides what is really there allowing people to perceive what is on the outside, but not what is within it.

Today, we have the potential to track movements of anyone at any given time. In the era of digital surveillance, tracking has been enhanced by the creation of stronger technologies from location-detecting smartphones to facial recognition cameras. During this time of pandemic uncertainty, data restrictions are being overshadowed by multiple governments in the name of public health. As a result, public spaces become restricted territory to all citizens. How can we reconnect the relationship of the locals to iconic spaces during this pandemic? Many popular places around the city has lost its functionality since COVID-19 lockdown. Tourism has halted because of the lockdown, and thus the remaining populous are citizens of Barcelona. The design intent is to create urban landscapes near iconic buildings spaces on data related to pedestrian movement. These urban landscapes can reconnect the citizens of Barcelona to the iconic spaces. The objective is to utilize image tracking technologies by mapping human activity in the city through computer vision and machine learning algorithms through Python. We want to re-iconicize the unnoticed.

Building Engine explores geometric/topological spatial systems through computation. This process is created through basic iterative logics of standard components through Grasshopper and the plug-in Anemone. The algorithm finds the most compatible connections for the components to which it creates a much more complex system. Based on the user defined parameters, the components aggregate to a much larger sequence and the connections become much more specific and meaningful. As a result, the iterative growth of the assemblies demonstrates a unique compositional spatial system. The design produces an architectural project at the urban scale. Through process of iteration, the production of components informs the geometry and topology across many diverse scales. Therefore, a coherent geometric assembly emerges from the growth process.

Each component has a specific handle (sender/receiver) location. The location determines the relationship between the three components. As the assembly grows, the algorithm adherently places the components to a specific order. The combination is called the heuristics. The possibilities of the heuristics are reliant on the number of handles. The connection paths is a production of the end result. As the aggregation is finalized, the paths connect and thus forms a circulation path. This is created with the Shortest Walk component in Grasshopper. Ideally, the shortest path within the system can be determined and used to inform architectural qualities.

In this modern era, our lives are split between the physical and the digital. RPS (Responsive Panel System) aims to bridge the pair together by creating an interactive facade. With the use of Arduino, the system allows for the control of external reaction based on light and temperature. Through multiple sensors, the facade will react by initiating a simple dialogue between the environment and machine. RPS is a fully functional system that is modular and is controlled with Arduino. It aims to operate on data synchronicity and reacts to find the most optimal settings. Two outer modules will react according to a light sensor, while the inner module will react according to a temperature sensor. The sensors calculate the optimal conditions within its environment and will trigger the motor to adjust the panels. As the panels open, the system receives more light and releases air to adjust the temperature.

They adjust accordingly to the optimal balance of light and temperature withing the body. The gear system is connected to the NEMA-17 motor. We wrote a code in Arduino that calibrated the start and end position of the motor. A single motor is able to control one module through a square rod. Two gears are attached to the square rod and they are then connected to a horizontal rail that will either push or pull the panels.

Genetic optimization explores and focuses on a heuristic process through an algorithm. The aim is to optimize the design so that the total area of sunlight is maximum. The amount of sunlight inside is controlled through the height of the roofs in the design. Using the Grasshopper plug-in, Ladybug, the environmental analysis defines the context and allows the sunlight to interact with the roofs. With the aid of an evolutionary solver such as the Grasshopper plug-in Galapagos, the fitness value of the roofs position and amount of sunlight is maximized. The iterative process begins to record all the data that the algorithm generates until the most optimized parameter is calculated.

Symbiote explores live physics simulation through the Grasshopper plug-in, Kangaroo, as a main engine. The project is to build a simple geometry where the user can interact with the inputs such as attractors, sliders, functions and time to transform it to a more complicated object in space. With the aid of interactive physics simulations, the digital materiality and real-life behavior acts as a form finding protocol. It starts as a simple mesh geometry that is brought into a space where it can be easily modified. Then the set of behaviors are defined in the base geometry is deformed. The deformations can be analyzed based on data visualization. As a result, the forms are recorded based on the optimal structure.

Parametric Skins is a project that aims to decode the logic of complex facade systems, analysing, and defining the computational processes behind them. This is a computational case study of the Multi-Story Car Park by CJCT Studio. This car park is located at the University of Leeds. The panels are able to change its shape based on parameters that are defined in Grasshopper. The angles of each corner can adjust to its environment by folding. Within the panels are perforations. The quantity can increase or decrease based on its functions. The panelised façade is essential to the environmental aspect of its context. With the perforations on the panels, the building strategizes to focus on maximum passive ventilation combing with natural lighting. Each panel is angled in a specific way preventing light pollution while generating a fluid and simple pattern.

The project explores new fabrication techniques through the relation between the computer and the machine. Through the course, we design through the capabilities of three digital fabrication tools: laser cutter, CNC milling machine, and 3D printer. With these machines, our task is to develop modular components in various scales of architectural elements: a tile, a surface, and a panel. From digital to physical, we explore the possibilities and limitations of how we design and communicate the connections between the two systems. We begin with basic designs that we fabricate for prototyping. This informs us the necessary changes for the next prototype. Through the laser cutter, we design through quick prototyping. The performance by privacy for this project demands to develop a geometry that explores a variety of density, openings or elements that allow or prevent lines of sight. Using the CNC, we can design for a better acoustical environment. The project is an exploration of absorption, reflection and manipulation of sound through varying textures and designs. A lamp can be an extension of architecture that creates a direct relationship between a space and its inhabitants through light. The particular challenge is the creation of a complex pattern that incorporates light filtration through repetition and variation with the 3D printer. 155

The cones are made from High Density Foam and they allow for the absorbtion of sound. Its hard surface and porous properties can deflect sound waves. The base is made from EVA Foam, which is a much softer material than the HDF and can absord sound waves. A combination of the two materials can be used to decrease sound levels while absorbing it. The sound waves reflect through the cones and delfects the waves to the soft base. The techniques used to CNC are a combination of horizontal roughing (for cutting away as much material as possible) to parallel finishing (a finishing that is smooth and clean). By using a 12mm flat mill bit, we reduce the timing of the mill in the horizontal roughing stage. The next stage is parallel finishing which we used a 6mm ball mill. The textures that are created on each material is a the result of its properties and the drill bit used. The cones have a ridge-like texture, while the foam has a rug-like texture.

The particular challenge of this project is the creation of a complex aggregation patterning that incorporates light filtration through repetition and variation. To this aim, we explored computational tools that allow for parametric design of the elements. The geometrical pattern allows different penetrations of light. The undulation of the surface manipulates the light as it enters through the structure. The material is white transparent ABS filament. Light is manipulated as it enters through the patterned surface because of the materiality. A soft illuminancy is visible because of the properties of the filament.

Bar chairs have a certain elegance in the way we interact with them, through their shape and height. This elegance is influenced through the design by having a smooth and curved form. The three foot rests below the seat allow users of different heights to rest their feet. This bar chair is constructed of 16 gauge cold rolled steel. It was designed in Rhino and then exported into the CNC Plasma Cutter for fabrication. All the pieces are hand bent and the perforations in the seat allows more control when bending the steel. In the end, the pieces are MIG welded. This was my first time working with metal and welding. Through this project I learned about various metal properties, connections, and techniques.

This project is located on top of a natural rock formation called El Morro near the city of Grants, New Mexico. The program is a sanctum sanctorum – a very private or secret place. It is a place for contemplation and understanding. The project aimed to help our understanding of architectural fundamentals such as tectonic and stereotomic elements. We began by creating conceptual models demonstrating basic architectural elements through our concepts. Furthermore, we were tasked with a hand drawing of our concept with graphite on 72’’ x 24’’ stonehenge paper. For the final, the architectural drawings are hand drafted. The final model is constructed out of clear acrylic, basswood, and rockite. These materials are metaphors of the elements to my concept. The acrylic visualized the ethereal sky, rockite visualized the dominance of the earth, and basswood as a medium for what is in between.

The site is located within the proximity of the Pepsi Center (an arena for sports) in Denver, Colorado. The approach on the project examined the massive amounts of people that would wait in line to enter the arena. By examining their movements, this project creates a diversion to the groups of people there and attracts them towards the site. By creating danger based on the three rules of flocking (separation, cohesion, and alignment) the collective human instinct would guide them towards the site. The program is a fight club that engages in violent behavior, which in this case, attracts the bystanders near the site.

Flocking behavior is a natural instinct exhibited by a group of birds. When birds sense danger they will react and alter their behavior. The project explores the same concept, but through humans. The premise of the project is based upon the collective behavior of humans. The architecture questions what it is like to experience a violent space and explores how we interact within it. I researched human flocking patterns and used that data set to generate the form of the building.

The site for this project is located in an unlikely art mecca in a desert city called Marfa, Texas. Visitors are attracted to the unique vibe and ambiance that the city offers. The design of the building is influenced by the studies of tourism throughout the city. I began to research movements and patterns of people throughout the year based on popular locations. The creation of the density maps visualizes the dissipation and accumulation of visitors through each season. This led to the development of the concept: temporality. Human experience is temporal when you are in that moment; much like the temporal experience of the visitors. Through more analysis, I began to correlate temporality through the performing arts such as dance. I started to experiment with the movement of smoke because it is synonymous with the movement of dancing. Each motion is temporal and never stagnant nor static. Architecture can embody the same experience.
