AGUA COMPLEX 2028 Could a desalination facility host an audience of 12,000 at the Long Beach venue ?
With Huaiyuan Xie & Zhongqi Fu Fall 2018 Laurie Hawkinson & Alex Mann (TA) GSAPP Columbia University
In 2028 Olympic Games, Long Beach will host sailing races and We are questioning Could a desalination facility host an audience of 12,000 for the venue? We proposed sending these spectators to offshore barges near sailing race areas which has a closer view of this exciting sport. With wind and tidal powered desalination facility, three barges serve as self-sufficient water supply facilities and a recreation park. During races, the barge is anchored outside of the racing boundaries and each of the barge has its own theme: cultivated agriculture barge, consists of greenhouses which targeting to diverse domestic plants growing while giving opportunities for spectators to hang out in the backyard. The bottled water industry barge packages the surplus desalted water and provides to the food courts on the barge. Also, the excess bottled water would be sent back to the city by ferries. It releases pressure of water usage under california drought condition. With the same water system working on the third barge, the aquaculture barge has fish farms and a fish market which aim to provide seafood supply for people. After 2028, three barges will float to reunion along Los Angeles coastline: we give three examples in 3 different locations: floating freely in long beach, embracing into a harbor in san diego or adjacent to a pier in santa monica. When they combine into one, they join into an event hosting place out of city and a gathering recreation complex .

MILKYWAY IN THE CITY Death, Light and Life. The luminious milkyway. Within the passage of time.
With Junru Xu Summer 2018 Karla Rothstein GSAPP Columbia University
Woodlawn’s boundaries are opened. We propose to bring the city to the cemetery, creating a luminous dialogue between the remembrance of the dead and the larger, adjacent community. Memorial space is created to provide a place for all New Yorkers – the housed and the homeless alike. A networked system connects mausoleum clusters. To preserve the limited land of the cemetery, multilevel morphologic spaces are created in response to the exiting environment and memorials. Multifunctional public programs are provided to increase everyday access and services for everyone. The process of biomethanization transforms the deceased into energy materialized as light – a new ritual disposition to honor and cherish the persons they love.

The light produced from the process of biomethanization of human dead bodies could illuminate the cemetery itself. And the life of a person is elongated in the presence of light.

Concept Model The threads interweaving among the needles shows the shine produced by human dead bodies within the Woodlawn cemetery. This elevated gleamy canopy grows into the heart of the old cemetery as time accumulates, which keeps casting light to the neighbourhoods on the opposite,
