Hello, How are you?
Table --> Public Space
According to the topic of Buddhist economics by E. F. Schumacher, 1911-1977, work is viewed as threefold: “to give a man a chance to utilize and develop his faculties; to enable him to overcome his ego-centredness by joining with other people in a common task; and to bring forth the goods and services needed for a becoming existence.” Buddhist economics’ concept refers to the living small community that people can live and work together locally with others. People will help and interact each other in provided public space where people can develop themselves together by creating art work on wood panels and planting food in vertical farming tower in middle of courtyard. People can produce many kinds of products and services in work spaces underneath their living spaces and fulfill other’s needs and happiness. Buddhist community concepts brings the idea down into a concept of dinning table. Dining table is one of the most important place where families feel greatful to meet and share their experience during the day.

Performance Each units are designed to be as compact as possible. It leaves with only main componants that are important to people’s lives: such as bedroom, bathroom, livingroom, and small kitchen. The circulation is designed to make the view of living room and courtyard to be seen since entering the space. All units have beadroom as lofts to keep units space compact. In addition, all of big units have one more bedroom on the floor level. Daylight Analysis
The project contains 34 residencial units. A living unit obtains average daylight quality of 2 percent where illuminance is at least 28 footcandles. The living unit also has an R value total of 20.9 which means well insulated. Light Wood Frame Structure is simply protect from moisture to exceed 15 percent by using vapor barrier sheet. The building would be very durable. By choosing wood as material, it gives low carbon foot print and pollution while construction.

Flo.A.T. Urban Design (Arch 480) Ecological nature and urbanism nowadays are separated and disconnected. As these two worlds have developed, they have collided because the demand of the land. The collision has caused issues and created unlivable spaces. People in cities are disconnected from nature often because they are scared of nature. However, people don’t like to adapt, so an adjustment in architectural form by developing new culture and artificial nature, so people can experience and approach nature without fear. This design will create connectivity between two worlds: nature and urbanism. This system will also create artificial habitats on the land and in the marine to improve quality of environment and lives. Finally, healthier urbanism will create physical, emotional, and spiritual health. “When water dies, man dies. That is why I am calling for a reform of complete water. Instead of H2O, it is water of a living ecosystem. Complete water is not about purity; it is about interconnection land and organisms, about continuities, about life� - Kong Jian Yu

Experience Portland is the place where its Willamette River is very important to the city, especially its business due to a lot of marine transportation. However, river itself is also causing problems by the result of many human innovations, and one of them is flooding. The design is intended to be a first model of floating river park for Portland to become a living city. It created more space for water mass in river by removing some land at the shoreline. The floating island is creating the enjoyable open space for various activities for human and nature; in such as the Center point as main gathering plaza, boat dock, Woodland Park as habitat tower, the Beach, and habitat wetlands. In addition, this will create the education’s opportunity about habitats all year round. Finally, It will also create connections between downtown and uptown. Then, further more floating park will be developed along the Willamette River.

ASSEMtation Adaptive Reuse (ARCH 382) “Through this fire, the hearth is the enduring ground and dermintative middle - the site of all sites, as it were, the homestead pure and simple, toward which everything presences alongside and together with everything else and thus first is.”
- Martin Heidegger, Philosopher The main concept of this project is Fire. Fire had been discovered since 2 million years ago, and fire became the center of people to gather around. Finally, culture and architecture were developed. Therefore, this building will assemble people in the community with common public activity in such as foodcourt while the building will function as an office and bike garage for commutors.
The key of adapting this old fire station is to use series of steel columns and beams to keep the envelop. Steel beams also duplicate the old fire station beam structure to keep its characteristics. In addition, the juxtaposed building next to the adapted fire station building creates a gathering space for people in the community by using an idea of dining table as center. In a single house scale, “dining table is a place where family gather and pass information.” - Barry Berkus. A building will provide a courtyard in the middle with sitting space and food carts. The whole building is enveloped with giant red curve structure that does not only aesthetically connect two buildings into one, but it also provides a benefit as sound barrier againt the noise from trains since the building is located along the side of train’s track.

SW Corridor Potential Development at Barbur Station

82nd Ave Development Plan Urban Planning (BPS) 82nd ave. in East Portland have been decided and looked for potential development along the corridor as the city is growing. The main objective of this project is to create walkable city to improve connectivity, safety, health, economy, and green environment. In big scale, six different nods on the corridor have been chosen to be centers of development that serve different unique characteristics and purposes on the corridor. Also, these six nods will be connected with the linear loop along the corridor. The loop will provide accessibility through centers of development and open spaces with safety, health, and economic benefits in the result of walkability.
Madison HS / 82nd Ave
Max Station (I-84) / 82nd Ave
Montavilla / 82nd Ave
Six nods on 82nd Ave. will include the big site across Madison High School, the Max Station on I-84, Montavillat, Jade District, Intersection of Foster St., and the intersection of springwater corridor. The main charecteristics of nods on 82nd Ave are: Madison High School Nod will be served as recreation and education space Max Station Nod will provide office and hotel space with high rise buildings Montavilla Nod will provide a lot of festival streets with local business Jade District Nod will be serve as center of business as international district Foster Nods will be served as shopping center and the South transportation hub Springwater Corridor will provide an urban waterfront park along Johnson Creek

The process will be done in 3 phases to create short and long solutions: 1. Improve green space and connection with public transportation. 2. Create attraction or activities along sidewalk while temporary improving sidewalk’s quality. 3.Improve bigger and more expensive development along the corridor.

Walking Street Human Scale Connectivity “Finally, in their quest to become more sustainable, cities need to remember that, for the typical pedestrian, the most mundane storefront is still more interesting than the most luxuriant landscape.” ― Jeff Speck, Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time
One of the feature to create walkability and livable 82nd Ave is Walking Street or Festival Street. Walking street will bring more lives and activityh into many spots along 82nd in the result of the better human-scale condition to walk on the street. This feature will be located on many small or low traffic density streets along 82nd Ave. It will provide street life day and night. The walking streets can be either closed down everyday or weekend only to maximize walkability.

Hill Park is located on between SW Naito pkwy and SW Harbor dr. The main objective is to find the potential developement that Green Loop Project’s allignment would run through with better experience and connectivity. The Green Loop Project’s concept is a six-mile linear park that connects people to experience Portland’s Central City, so this park will be one of new parks where people will stop by. It also creates a new attracting open space for urban life from being underutilized park. The concept is to make human scale connection as it was freeway connection in the past. By using its uneven ground landscape, fun and adventurous design can be used to make unique park.
