GROWING THE COMMUNITY URBAN DEVELOPMENT MIDTOWN DETROIT, 2016 SPRING INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
Midtown Destroit is located in between Downtown Detroit and Wayne State University. It is an area that is not fully oppupied by residents but not as vacant as other parts of the city. With the twe vibrant areas to the south and north, with convenient connection, with a culture of education and art. There is definately a great potential to make the area an active and energetic space again. Instead of treating exsiting vacant lots and large surface parking lots as “place holder”, this design utilized them as great “Form Giver’’ of the design. The “ugly” elements are revitalized to facilitate existing activities such as gallery show, dining , theaters, community garden, recreation and so on. Over time, dark spots are expected to beome the “engines” that drives the city of detroit, which used to be 2

THE POWER PLANT TRANSFORMATION 2015, BROWNFIELD, BEXELY, OH
The Muskingum River Coal Power Plant is one of the large contaminated sites that will be litered within the next ten years in the Mid-west due to the upgrading of Energy. "This plant is one of AEP's largest plants in Ohio with an enormous 1,300 acre area, 1529 MX plant comprised of 5 combustion units." Shutting down such a huge plant means a great waste on infrastructure, a potential pollution source, and hundreds of workers being laid off. This studio is intended to explore scenarios for adaptive reuse of the plant to minimize the negtive effects and make the best of what we are left with. 12

"Topography" and "permeability" are changed by cutting and flipping cardboards.

BOX ECOLOGY Pine Wood/ Chipboard/ Wires/ Metal Sticks Large site design was ollaberated with Andrew Anbarring, Erik Engle, Granlund Kristina L, Zizhen Peng, and Amy K Taylor This model is a representation of my interpretation on void and mass space of three objects. It was then cut into 6 pieces. And the whole class worked in group to arrange our pieces on an imaginary site where a specific amount of water will be poured down every day. We are asked to respond to the dynamic water system
by
changing
topography,
adjusting
permeability, and moving water around. Keeping record of what will be above and below water level was also important. The main goal is to create a system that respond to the ecology. 22
