Film Research Institute | Structures and Frameworks, 2014 Plan Analysis of Spencer Finch’s Painting Air Reflections and Refraction of Light
After analyzing in conjunction Spencer Finch’s Painting Air and Paul Rudolph’s Yale School of Architecture, the overlap of the two projects lies in the ambiguity of the in-between space. The layers of multiple rotating glass panels constantly implies a new space created by the overlays of reflections. Below is a plan analysis of a portion of the piece in describing the phenomenon. The idea is carried in Paul Rudolph’s main exhibition space in the YSOA as edges between one pocket of space to another are blurred through the subtle changes in elevation and partition walls.

GESTURE
The site is located in the heart of Providence’s Jewelry District. The project proposes to occupy an existing parking lot with a film research institute that houses editing labs as well as public programs. Responding to the urban context, the building has three masses each with its own major public service: 1. Cafe - most light 2. Library - less direct light 3. Theater - black box
3
The center is circulation space filled with activity. It is the connective tissue that provides a continuous path from the ground floor to the rooftop stopping at each major public space between the three masses. Working with the existing topography, the slope of the site allows greater sectional qualities and half floors. The ground floor is entirely accessible with three entrances straight into the theater and atrium lobby.

The cantilevered volume that houses the cafe, creates a space underneath to house outdoor screenings. The ground beneath also slopes down to encourage viewers to comfortably lie down while watching the show. The deep cantilever is anchored and held up by the other two masses.

West End Revival | Urban Design, 2013 Boston’s West End has great potential in becoming a pleasant, lively, and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. It currently attracts thousands of people daily as it houses the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). In an attempt to revive the neighborhood and invite more than just hospital visits, the project comprises two cinemas, a multi-purpose auditorium, retail spaces and a variety of residential units. The area chosen for development is at the North Western side as it tackles the mess of the highway infrastructure, the underused T-station, and the missed opportunity of connecting to the bay. In the urban-scale, the project aims to connect two T-stations: the red line’s Charles/MGH Station and the green line’s Science Park Station. A new layer of ground is achieved by creating a program-filled podium as the base of the residential tower. The main layer of ground activity mediates the T-station level and the ground level leading towards the hospital block. To protect and encourage pedestrians in the area, the edge between the project site and the ban of highways is hardened. Vehicles enter and experience the site differently to the pedestrians, as pedestrians are given priority.

The logic of the project carries on from the urban to the architectural scale. The hard edge that blocks the highway translates into the hard edge that has no balconies in the residential units. While, the other sides open up to the public in both urban and architectural scale. The tower is sited on a hard edge in order to protect pedestrians on the podium and gardens. Its slender form derives from curved edge of the site. With respect to the solar path, the faceted edge functions to catch more Southern light of the otherwise North-West facing windows.
10
By providing a bridge from the Science Park T-station directly to the new ground, it allows for more convenient and safer access for pedestrians. The increase of foot traffic will help liven up the neighborhood with hopes to reconnect with the rest of the city.

Aquarium and Lab Design | Architectural Design, 2013 The design project is a 200,000 sq-ft research laboratory and office located by the Providence Harbor in Rhode Island. The program consists of administrative and research offices, laboratories, an indoor aquarium and tidal pool. Taking inspiration from the water, the project aims to create and unite spaces through incorporating water as part of the view or a lighting element. The light qualities necessary for each use dictated the programmatic division and composition.

Light was controlled through a series of openings on the ceiling, walls, and even floors. The roof is the main light filter. It provides shade to spaces such as the labs and offices that requires less light relative to the aquariums and pool. The circulation spine is also granted more light. Overall, the exposed beams create rhythm both in their solid masses and dynamic shadows. Other main lighting elements include the two small aquariums on the second floor. Each aquarium is accompanied by skylights and clear bottoms that allows light to transmit down to the underground laboratories. The detail model highlights the main lighting elements. It demonstrates the role of the roof and the rhythm created by the beams. Similarly, it reveals the lighting condition filtered by the small aquarium, as previously mentioned.

Wood Island Playscape | East Boston Greenway Connector, 2014 Currently a neglected site in East Boston, the Wood Island marshland has great potential in playing a greater part in the East Boston Greenway. The site is located by the marshlands and is tucked next to Logan International Airport, the Blue Line and residential area. The parti of this playscape is that of C-shaped enclosures that frames views to the water or to the sky. Depending on the orientation towards the sun, the overhang of the C-seating varies. It is designed to avoid the summer sun while welcoming the winter sun.

The playscape includes sloped grounds to elevate visitors to enjoy the view to the water, while it houses seating areas and bathrooms underneath to allow occupants to pause and rest. The wooden C-seating transitions from a bike rack into a bench and later into a combination of longer seat and table. view B

Drop the Bottle - Pier 26, NYC | Climate Museum Launch, 2015 The idea of the project includes educating the public regarding water usage and plastic bottle consumption in New York City. The pop-up pavilion will include an exhibition space that takes visitors on a journey of their individual impact on the issue, which will later accumulate to display the collective impact as well.

Sydney Opera House Analysis | Architectural Analysis, 2013 The plan oblique of the Sydney Opera House focuses on the exterior and interior public circulation. It is oriented facing towards the public entrance. The movement of visitors are generally forward and upwards towards the opera house and concert hall. The roofs are cut to reveal the arrangement of the core of both concert halls.
media: graphite on paper
22
Similar to the hand-drafted x-ray drawing, this exploded axonometric drawing focuses on the circulation. This is also oriented in the same manner as the x-ray plan oblique. The halls are exploded to reveal the division of the circulation. First, a visitor enters forward and upwards. Later, a split occurs where one can choose to enter the major hall to the left or the minor hall to the right. Each level of each hall is then exploded vertically. The major roofs are cut along their axis of symmetry to reveal the geometry of the roof and the overall symmetrical nature of each hall.
media: digital media
23
Continued the analysis with the focus to unfold and reveal the spherical geometry of the roofs. The roof shells are derived from parts of the surface of one sphere with a radius of 264 ft. Each roof shell is cut twice along the diameter of the sphere and once more along the surface of the sphere, creating a smaller circle along its surface. From these cuts, half of a roof shell emerges. The other half is mirrored along the smaller circle to complete one section of the roof.
Each shell is mirrored along the center of the sphere. The lines of the ribs are continued along the surface of the sphere to connect the two shell that makes one roof. The 10 roofs are organized into three categories: the major hall, the minor hall and the restaurant. The roofs in each group are then connected at a point. The proximity of the groups is based on the plan of the Opera House.
24
The sphere is then projected onto a geodesic dome, which enables the sphere to be unrolled and represented as a two dimensional surface. The two dimensionality allows the pieces to be rearranged at will. The lines of the ribs are then extended in order to clarify which shell belongs to which pair and they act as guides when fabricating and assembling the geodesic dome.
25
To exaggerate and further explore the relationship between the sphere and the roofs, the 10 roofs were mirrored again totaling to 20 roofs.
