he pure planar geometry, a rectangular form which returns to the NSEW city grid, spreads in the center to allow light to reach the various programmatic wings. Emerging from the northeast entrance, the primary public paths in Stearns Quarry Park split rising up to the top of the manmade hill and down toward the man-made pond. As the paths diverge and bend, the monastery wedges itself between them, into the side of the hill overlooking the destination pond, creating a private interior amidst these two very public pathways.

Main entrance is accessible from both 2 primary paths, starting at the eastern entrance, which is in the northeast corner of monastery by the guest house. For private access, guest house sets on northeast corner of monastery near the higher path toward hill. The friction point of entry has a guest house, reception area, and a private chapel. And the monastery has a secondary entrance at the southwestern corner of it from the lower path, starting at the southern entrance.

reeds’ garden_ Buffer zone
Sketches for mixing zone
The main church hinges apart from the pure planar geometry of the monastic cloister, opening toward and suspended over the pond. In this split, reminiscent of the split public way, a mixing zone is created – where the monks, the monastery guests, and the general public cross paths, reminded of each others’ daily patterns and communities.
stonewalls allows people and monks to purify mind before going into church as a filtering space.
The effect of this shift from monastery creates the mixing area of interior and exterior communities. This area could be transition zone before church and monastery. A tall grass garden surrounding with

Monks, guests, and public people can meet in the Reeds’ Garden surrounding with stone walls. It is buffer zone and filtering space before going inside the church.

Herbs’ garden_ public interface Public interface is located in second floor and roof of the monastery building. Monks grow the roof herb gardens and they have a store and education space about herbs. So, they work in roof herb gardens and communicate with public people in the store. Considering light capacity, monks operate a green house in the south wing of the roof where has weak daylight. From the upper path, people can access to the herb store. Also, they can visit the monastery building and the church from it. Sketches of Monk’s Cell

“Inventing new forms is obviously not the task of architecture. Architecture (Baukunst) is more and something different. That magnificent word itself makes it clear, the essence of architecture is building and art the manifestation of its perfection.� _ Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, In his Lecture in Chicago

Perspective, Collage
A private residence with three courts_ open plan A ‘professional’ couple desires a residence in the city with ample space in which to entertain friends and to display a collection of modern paintings and sculpture encompassing notable works form Cubism to “Pop Art”. In addition to the usual basic requirements provide a studio or study that could possibly double as an overnight guest facility. This residence sits on a quarter of the Chicago city block. It is determined by simple structure and essential walls. In this open floor plan with 24’x24’ structural bay size, the partition walls defines space,in which behaviours of residents are different by atmosphere of space. Clear glass walls define the boundary of interior space from three courts. The courts connect with interior space and nature, which means daylight, sky, and green from outside. The couple and guests could feel pleasant and elegant inside the house by well organized space.

It is the architects that communicate with people through the architecture. This means that architecture would be a means to convey meanings. Like a poet, architects consider space with clear topic and design a building with ordering meanings. It is important for a poet to implicate meanings without unnecessary things. For an architect, it is also essential to design a space simply because simple design could express contained meanings more strongly rather than complicated one.

Artificial Landscape In Big Sky Mountain, a ski lodge sets near the lift for go-up. It is extremely cold or hot there because of height of mountain. Thus, users desire Spring in Winter and hope that Fall is coming in Summer. Another planet sets in Big Sky Mountain. Visitors feel like that they are on another planet in this ski lodge.

another planet_ artificial landscape The ski lodge is on mid mountain of Big Sky. Skiers active so quickly. They can go through the lodge right away or stop by fast. There are always crowded in the ski lodge. For different users, the ski lodge has distinctive separated circulation. Ground area is for patrol, safety, and loading circulation, which means support part of soil section of artificial landscape. From second floor, skiers and visitors can access directly. They can stay in rest area or go down through the ski lodge.

Restoring the Petite Ceinture
by implementing water storage and treatment system Reconstructing the movement, sight, and stories in the neighborhoods around the Petit Ceinture The traces that were left behind to recall the preexisting movement of trains and the lost stories, which developed through the Parisiens around the Petit Ceinture, suggest a cinematic aspect of the site. The restoring of the linear flow of the train going around the periphery of Paris can awaken the embedded narratives of the neighborhoods. The views that are only allowed through the site’s particiular undergound and above ground level locations in relation to Paris can provide another set of lens to look into Parisiens’ lives. Addressing Paris’s Current Stormwater Storage Problem There is a lack of stormwater storage in the city of Paris, which the water used by the whole city comes from Seine. During its frequently occuring wet periods, the city suffers from excessive amount of rainwater that often fails to reach the five existing water treatment areas in the great region of Paris because the total amount of rainwater exceeds the capacity of these treatment plants. Our urban planning proposal addresses this issue by providing stormwater storage along the site and implements a phyto-plant treatment system to clean used-water, which is collected from the city’s secondary pipes. In result, the purification of the water will encourage the awakening of the Parisien neighborhoods by enabling social activities through architectural programs.

Student housing in the Petite Ceinture The government wants to double the amount of student housing in France by 2020. That’s certainly a positive target, but above all it reveals the glaring lack of housing currently available. Building is already underway but it is no longer just a question of more housing but of better quality. Several recently opened residence halls, particularly those in Paris, have considered the way students live and have catered for new needs in their design. _The articel ‘Logement Étudient’
This project is to solve two problems about student housing and lack of water storage in Paris. By the Petite Ceinture, triangular shaped student housing is settled on the tiny site. In terms of housing design, I struggled to design a new way of living to provide students better living space. At the same time, I suggest a new way of water treatment through the Urban scheme,’Infrastructure as an aesthetic affect machine in urban environment’.
