SIEN HANG, CHENG [CARL] Hi! I am Carl. I am originally from Hong Kong, but living in Chicago for the time being. I have recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design with a Master of Architecture and a Certificate in Integrated Product Design. I have been in multiple design studios including studios led by Thom Mayne, Marion Weiss, Robert StuartSmith ... just to name a few.
RESUME 2020
After 7 years of studying and internships, I am please to say that I still love Architecture! I am interested in the interlink between formal expression and functional performance of design; exploring the possibilities of how the two could compliment and create an architectural solution that is greater than the its parts. I am currently

Precious Object The building’s envelope creates a iconic structure that emphasizes its presence and importance.
INTRODUCTION The project explores the past and present of La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angles relative to its context and the artifacts embedded in the site. The mission of the project is to unravel the magnificence of the unique geological site and open up the museum to showcase the history that is buried. Our vision for the project is to create a journey that carries people from the present to the past. The new museum interacts with the landscape through a pathway that leads the visitors across the site. Alongside the pathway, visitors can access the tar pits research field and enjoy the pre-historic landscape. The new canopy also provide shade to the much needed Los Angeles climate. People can enjoy the refreshing breeze in the semi-outdoor atrium surrounded by exhibition halls that showcases fossils illuminated by the natural light.
Elevated Journey Elevated entrance curates a deliberate journey of arrival. It heightens the intention of place-making.
In-between Space In-between space between the outside and the core exhibit space acts as a transition in space and time.

INTRODUCTION Residential
Parallel Centro engages with the concentric nature of the city of Madrid, and aims to distrupt the current model by balancing urban dynamism with a new urban center north of the old city. The project deals with the dense urban fabric of the adjecent neighborhoods, and connects with existing networks to stitch the city together. Utilizing the Combinatory Urbanism model written by Thom Mayne, the design deals with an alternative process of urban production mainly invested in generating frameworks of relational and operational systems based on urban activities. The tip of the site is the end of a major spine of Madrid, and is bisceted by the M-30 highway that loops around the city. The design builds upon the extension of the spine and highway as starting point to inform the programatic need and geometric complexity, that ultimately connects the new center to the immediate neighborhoods and the rest of the city.

ECOLOGIES OF COMBINATORY URBANISM Built on 4 primitives, the combinatory model deals with the combination of the 4 elements and how it comes together. The model is not about rationalism, but rather accidents and moments of space that occurs in the layering of frameworks that crresponds to different data sets. This allows unlimited possibilities of combinations with rigor.

The combinatory nature of complex intersections not only applies to the geometric formation of the design, it also inform the programmatic layering. The functional framework can be broken down to 6 layers; 1.) Green Space, 2.) Pedestrian circulation, 3.) Low-rise massing, 4.) Elevated vehicular circulation, 5.) Elevated green parks and 6.) Midrise and High-rise massings. The layers of function is dictated by individual frameworks that gives logic to the operation of each layer. The layers also work together functionally and geometrically when stacked together to create seamless transitions between different tiers of function.

INFRASTRUCTURE Infrastructure is the over-arching component that connects the 3 different districts and to the existing context. Layers of infrastructure includes: axial boulaverds that runs longitudinally, grid like streets that connects east-west neighborhoods, an elevated local transit system and the extension of the M-30 highway. The decision of keeping the M-30 allows existing traffic flow, and also introduce traffic to the new centro.

INTRINSIC MATTER
02 L | Statue of Liberty Visitor Center
PORTFOLIO 2020
Instructor: Robert Stuart-Smith Design Studio 602 | Spring 2019 Collaborator: Hongyu Lin
INTRODUCTION The project begins with the reconsideration of how people perceive the Statue of Liberty from a visitor’s perspective. The new visitor center aims to create a journey that brings visitors from the historic monument to a new structure that best portray the statue from moments of openings for the best unconstructed closeup view. Through studying the complex formal-structural integration in the construction of the statue itself, the structure of the new visitor center aimes to incorporate space and structure through Topological Structure Optimized (TSO) form that molds a wholistic formal construction. The new formal language of the optimized form is further transformed into formal ornamentation that ties back to the TSO research in terms of its patterns and directionality. The combination of space, structure and ornamentation in the project reconfigures our perception towards an integrated structure, which ultimately echoes back to the original ambition of the Statue of Liberty.

STATUE OF LIBERTY The design of the statue is a collaboration between form, structure, constructability and ornamentation in 1886; the project aims to take on the same challenge with the mind of 21st century technologies including computer aided optimization and modeling.

FROM SURFACE TO SPACE The process of design begins with surface form finding through an iterative process in search for an interior moment. The surface goes through the structural analysis to extract information that can use used for surface optimazation and ultimately creating structurally unique spaces.

ORGANIZATION The main massing of the new visitor center anchors at the frontal of the stature, and connects the ground level to the existing pedestal level. The ramp and the grand staircase are the two main circulation between the two level. The form of the grand staircase works with the intrinsic structure of the floor slab and the grometry of the TSO column, creating a flowing staircase that merges with the overall massing.

ORVERARCHING STRUCTURE The bulk of the second level arches over the groud level and cantilevers over the water. The structure that supports the cantilever is composed of reinforced concrete that has structural ribs according to the stress lines, allowing a thinner layer of concrete that is reinforced with strategically positioned ribs. The tree like colomn also supports the arching form and distributes the load to the pilers anchored in the ground.

TECTONIC CONSIDERATION The curvature geometry is excentuated with crisp edges and overhangs that exagerate the geometry. These moments are solved tectonically with consideration on connections between elements and materiality. Custom caps would provide the sharp edges and smooth surface panels. Skylight opening is also considered tectonically to maximise view.

TOPOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION (TSO) The geometry of the spatial coloumn intergrates with the floor slab from the level about. The tree like structure is generated throufh topological structure optimized analysis that understands the loads, and focuses the geometry to deal with these loads.

SPATIAL COHERENCY While providing exhibition and information space to let people understand the background of the statue, the main purpose of the new visitor center surrounds the appreciation and view towards the statue itself. The interior of the new design opens up views towards the statue and also the views towards Brooklyn and Manhattan across the water.

SHIFTING HYBRIDS
03 M | Lower East Side Residential
PORTFOLIO 2020
Instructor: Hina Jamelle Design Studio 601 | Fall 2018
INTRODUCTION Located in the center of trending art and gallery culture, the conventional cinema scene in the Sunshine Theater has been driven to its end. The ‘project’ takes the shell of the Sunshine Theater and repurpose it to become an artist’s hub that aims to solidify the growing gallery scene in the neighborhood. By introducing a new gallery hub, art auction space and residence for artist, the ‘project’ will become the new Art Hub in the Lower East Side that connects existing galleries and create new spaces for exchange of ideas. Anchored on the existing structure will be a 7-stories housing tower with the mix of “artist in residence” and luxury condominiums.

SUNSHINE THEATER | LOWER EAST SIDE The Sunshine Theater located in the Lower East Side, NYC is a historic destination for art and cultural performances for the neighborhood and the greater Manhattan. The theater has been transformed into multiple uses over its history, but all related to art. How and what can be done today to revive the beaten down theater in the reviving neighboehood to bring light back on the building.

SHIFTING HYBRIDS By examining the emergence of form and geometry of organic matters, bats in this case, the project has the capacity to formulate complex geometric instances that informs both the part and the whole. The DNA of the wrapping wings are translated from 2-dimensional diagram to 3-dimensional geometry that informs the massing of the residential component over the theater, and also the individual units that ultimately informs the facade complexity.

TYPOLOGIES The residential building is consist of multiple typologies that is independent to the facade pattern, but the unitization of window panels does hint the combination.

DEFAMILIARIZATION
04 Parkside Relief
PORTFOLIO 2020
Instructor: Andrew Saunders Design Studio 502 [ Spring 2018 ]
INTRODUCTION The project engages with defamiliarization as a trope to enhance the sensation of Parkside by creating an unfamiliar situation when the ‘objects’ found in the neighborhood are transformed into elements that are not as they are usually known. Learning from Louise Nevelson’s sculptures and the Mondrian Grids, the ‘objects’ are used to derive a relief that operates in harmony with existing grids of Parkside. The figuration of the relief begins to interrogate the edges of those grids when the figures spill out of the prescribed grids. The figures begin to operate with one and other through continuation of figures and also the juxtaposition of figures. Euclidean forms are interrupted with linear figures and begins to break through the grid, where the figuration defines their own grid.

AUXILIARY PROGRAM The auxiliary program implemented with the branch library is a bitcoin farm. Such farm is a contemporary financial model that is used to generate capital.
PORTFOLIO 2020 70
BUILDING AS MACHINE The Bitcoin farm also connects Parkside to Philadelphia and the wider context (worldwide) when people from around the region invest in the farm (as Bitcoin investment). Such facility would put Parkside on the worldwide Bitcoin radar, and perhaps creating an efficient model that could be studied from.

INTRODUCTION The project aspires to reinvent a way of life at one of Macau’s prime waterfront extension sites. Since the liberalization of casino licensing in 2002, it has become the main source of entertainment in Macau for both tourists and the local community. Apart from the record high of US$ 45.09 billion in annual revenues of casino gambling in 2013, the city is also responsible for 2.14kg of waste per capita per day, with Beijing at 1.10kg and Hong Kong at 1.41kg (2018). The sustainable waterfront entertainment and residential quarters creates, restores and reconnects the people of Macau to nature through several phases. Phase 1: Installation of rainwater and recycling infrastructures Phase 2: Construction of residential and waste-to-energy facilities using existing frameworks and parameters Phase 3: Construction water park 1 _ Flexible exhibition space
2 _ Short stay accommodation
3 _ Water park facilities

INTRODUCTION The proposal explores the meaning of immigration through a perspective on influence as a foreign apparatus to the norm and the imaginable interaction of the two which results in combining spaces and detaching voids to create light-wells. The architecture embraces the neighboring Italian market by accomodating a covered market place for the existing restaurant & market, as well as providing space for new vendors and culinary studios to train young chefs, house wives or anyone of interest. The residential housing responds to the demographics of the increasingly international neighborhood with large housing units ranging from one to three bedrooms and penthouse units where the foreign profile meets the normative.
