Merging Tubehouses, Emerging Communities Located in Hanoi, Vietnam, this mid-density residential development reimages Hanoi’s vernacular building typology of a tubehouse. While celebrating the traditional characteristics of a shop frontage, internal courtyards, versatile use of internal and external space, dynamic owner relationships, HANOI MULTIGRAIN aims at creating a larger interactive neighborhood by introducing porosity between tubehouses, instead of a dead wall. Given the extremely dense living conditions in Hanoi, not only will this proposal increase efficiency by introducing shared structure, plumbing and drainage between tubehouses, but it also introduces a new network of circulation as well as connected open spaces of different degree to accomodate a wide variety of usage, celebrating the Hanoi way of streetlife. In collaboration with John Hilmes, Shannon Qin

Adaptive Reuse Of Building 18 At Magnuson Park, Seattle Given the current multi-functional condition of the former naval base Magnuson Park, the project reuses an old firehouse into a multi-purpose hub with combined programs of visitor center, sports rental, naval museum and catering facilities as an entry point to guide visitors into the park. Re-generation experiments with the idea of self-sufficiency and green living in urban contexts. Pulling elements from the neighboring P-patch, food and herbs will be grown to support the cafe and educate public. Profits generated will be used to finance naval exhibitions.

A Surface of Urban Common that Blurs Boundaries, West Loop, Chicago Fragmented by barriers in various physical and intangibleforms including fences, privatized demarcation, storage building blocks, surface parking lots, highway and its buffer zones, West Loop, Chicago is a fragemented neighbourhood that lacks sense of community. Urban Interchange aims at delimiting boundary through creation of a walkable and bikable surface that weaves in-between existing transportation infrastructures and buffer zones. The surface starts from the underground Clinton-blue metro station, then passes through three blocks of highway underpass, which are currently used as surface parking lot, then connects to the existing greyhound terminal and bus transit station as a roofscape. It then weaves through the circle interchange and extends to the UIC-Halstead metro station on the east side of the loop where Greek Town and UIC campus is located. Apart from creating a walkway network connecting transportation nodes, this rolling ‘ surface’ aims at creating a common ground for the multiple constituents on site, including local residents, college students, bikers, dog-owners, commuters and tourists to share and interact on.

University-Village Mall Intervention in Seattle Replicating the existing water motif in U-village, the intervention conceptually links the south entry with the rest of U-village with a blue belt of integrated use of art and water features along pedestrian paths. A plaza with interactive water fountain flanked by two additional buildings is created to welcome and invite pedestrains to walk through.Through the re-introduction of the ‘forgotten’ Ravenna Creek back into U-village, a dialogue between the U-village water and creek water is introduced in the plaza, linking the mall to the larger context of the Ravenna neighbourhood.

Demo Garden in Union Bay Natural Area, Seattle As a transition from urban settings to the Union Bay Natural Area, the site serves as an entry point into UBNA by filtering vehicular, bike and pedestrian flow through the visitor center. Not only does the project demonstrate the natural processes in UBNA as a demo garden, it aims at connecting human and water flow into the natural area.

The project re-imagines an empty parking lot as a center that mass-produces biofuel, crops, and clean water. A constructed wetland filters grey and black water for re-use in three algae bioreactors and a network of aeroponic greenhouses. Parabolic solar collectors direct visible light to algae below, while infrared is directed to photovoltaic panels for constant growth. As a self-sustaining system, the algae produces biofuel, methane, and nutrients to fuel crop production and transport which will ultimately allow for greenhouse expansion to the surrounding rooftops.

URBAN REJUVENATION for SULPHUR DELL in NASHVILLE, TN “Flood Harvest” leverages upon the flood-prone riverfront site of Sulphur Dell in Nashville by turning it into a potential for urban development. During a major flood event, a waterfront wetland park, series of pocket ponds and large retention pond are filled in succession to ensure the resiliency of the district. The retained floodwater will be cleaned and treated in the living machine and then harvested to be redistributed to the surrounding area. During the dry season, these landscape features can be used as play, leisure or performance areas. “Flood Harvest” aims to be a catalyst for the redevelopment of other under-utilized, flood-prone waterfront areas in Nashville. In collaboration with Jia Fang ( MUP), Kevin Kan ( MUP) , Lu Chen ( MUD/ MLA) and Xin Miao Yong ( MARCH), with advisor El Hadi Jazairy

PHASING Phase 1 of the project development focuses on unoccupied blocks on Jefferson Street, since they have the maximum height limit in the district. While other blocks are waiting for building clearance and demolition, the first group of blocks will have high-return projects to ensure high occupancy rate and generate early revenue. The first phase includes an eight-storey hotel, and a mix of retail, housing and office spaces to accomodate residents and firms that need to be relocated during Phase 2.

FARMERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MARKET/ RECREATION COMPLEX Located at the lowest point of the site that meets the Music City Bikeway, the new Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market/ Recreation complex is located right next to the major pond that is created to absorb any remaining runoff. This complex serves as both a landmark as well as a water harvesting infrastructure. It takes advantage of the pleasant weather by becoming completely open on the ground floor, allowing both pedestrians and cyclists to move in and out freely. Open courtyards scattered throughout the building will also extend the feeling of the outdoors into the interior of the market, while increasing pervious surfaces for the absorption of rainwater.

PONDS DOTTED ALONG MUSIC CITY BIKEWAY Apart from the first line of flooding defense of the wetland park at Cumberland River waterfront, the second line of defense consists of several pocket ponds located along the existing Music City Bikeway. During the dry season, the ponds would appear as landscaped features of pocket parks dotted along the bikeway. These indentations are not only aesthetic but can also be used as play, leisure or performance areas. With Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year-round good weather, open-air retail plazas offer rest spots along the Music City Bikeway, spaces for peoplewatching, and adventure sports such as rock climbing.
The bikeway serves not only as connection spine between major landmarks in Sulphur Dell, but also as a tributary by concentrating runoff from surrounding parcels of land as well as neighboring districts. When sudden storms occur in the spring, the pocket ponds will fill up in succession as water flows from the wetland park through the bikeway, acting as buffers to slow down the movement of water as it heads inland towards the large retention pond and contributing to the resiliency of the development.
