NEW U.S. CONSULATE IN MILAN 2018 JAN - MAY Individual School Project Site: Milan, Italy Professor: Phoebe Crisman

This is a new U.S. consulate building on the site near historical building Villa Francesco in Milan, Italy. The idea behind this design is to create an open and transparent space for the public gather areas without sacrificing the security concerns for the office area, and to achieve such goal while maintaining the respect to the local architectural context. The building and the landscape’s plan are designed around a the circular road system existed on the site, used it as the central circulation axis accross the site that serves as paths for both official and consular visitors. Such axis extends into the building and become the central atrium and public space, with the more solid office space locates on both sides of the atrium and overlook the consular space.


There is a 175-meter-radius road loop on the site, and the site locates on a setor area that conveniently takes 1/4 of the circle. It seems that continueing the circular form of the road into the site and use it as a base for the enclosure and circulation for the entire consulate project is a ďŹ tting starting point. At the center of the site, a segment of the circle is taken out, and developed into the main consular building that utilize the circle for the central atrium space.


The structure for the central atrium space pays its homage to the respectable local architecture traditional form: secular vault structure, which is commonly used on wide range of porticos and cathedrals. Similar concept is also used on Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to create a compelling atrium space coverd by glass vaults.

Official/Staff Entrance Circulation

Consulate has complex requirements for the circulation and security design, and they’re met here while maintaining respect to the central axis. The north side of the sector is best used for visitor entrance due to it’s proximity to the light rail station, so it leaves the south side, which is also adjacent to the main road, to be the official entrance. The back of the setor naturally become service entrance.

Visitor Circulation & Consular Area

The circulation of visitors and officials comes from both sides of the atrium and are naturally separated by offices, multi-purpose rooms and walk ways in the middle, therefore creates interesting circulation routes in the atrium space without sacrificing security requirements.

The elevation of the building draws its inspiration from another Italian tranditional architecture gem: portico. A series of arches forms the portical and gives the elevation a sense of order and elegance, so here I combine its essential idea with the need for east side vertical louvers and create this stainless steel mesh facade system.

With KPF’s Hudson Yard planning project pending to finish, a new troop of skyscrapers will be added to Manhattan’s already crowded skyline. The buildings in the cities are growing higher, reaching to the sky, but everything that connects them: roads, open spaces, green spaces, streets still remains on the ground. Is this really the direction that modern and future city should be developing?

MEDITATION CHAPEL 2017 JAN - MAY Collaborated School Project Teammate: Ziqi Chen Site: Madison County, VA Professor: Ted Jones

This is a small community chapel that locates at a north-facing slope at the foot of a hill near Madison County, Virginia. Our design introduces a central symmetrical ellipse plan that conceptually connects three of the major landmarks around the site: the Labyrinth to the west, the Frame Barn to the east, and two old pine trees on the far front. The structure concept aims to pursue the harmony and contrast between the light and warm vibe of wooden inner structure and a heavy outter concrete shell. The curve of concrete form rises to reveal a open transparent facade to the north front, which brings a breathtaking view across the valley into the building, while the humbly small entrance at the south facade prevents the excessive sunlight at summer. The movable vertical panels inside the chapel creates a bright, open pavalion-like space when it rises, and a tranquil meditative space when it closes.

RIVERFLOW FABRIC 2016 AUG - DEC Individual School Project Site: Sau Paolo, Brazil Professor: Robin Dripps

This is a urban design project to redesign a demolished wholesale market site in Sau Paolo, Brazil. The site perimeter encloses an expanse of approximately 1.8 square kilometers. The research reveals that the river originally had a much different form than today. It used to be dominated by natural form, spread and serperntine through the area. However, in 1950s, the river form is reformed into a straight line as it is today, and gradually became one the most polluted river in Brazil. This design brings the polluted river water into the site via artificial river channels, and develops a entire urban system on top of the new water landscape. The benefits are two ways: the water treatment landscape design helps clean the polluted water from the Tiete River, and the influent river helps define the landscape and urban fabric of the site.

This is a urban design project to redesign a demolished wholesale market site in Sau Paolo, Brazil. The site perimeter encloses an expanse of approximately 1.8 square kilometers. It is part of São Paulo’s industrial belt, which formed along the Tietê and Pinheiros Rivers starting in the late 19th century, with around 4300 residences currently.

We ran a series of physics based simulation using Kangaroo plug-in in Grasshopper to simulate the watershed and water flow pattern on the site based on the building and geographical data. This is the base for the influent artificial river channel route for the design.

FLOODING STRATEGY

At normal season, this area acts as the root filter zone in the water treatment landscape system, and provide river bank wetland space for local residences.

At flood season, the flood retention area provides temporary extra space on the river channel to mitigate the negative impact of the flood.

BOUTIQUE HOTEL 2016 JAN - MAY Individual School Project 2016 Earl Prize Winner and 1st in Student Voting Site: Champaign, IL Professor: Kennedy Hutson

This is a boutique hotel design project that locates at Green Street in Champaign, IL. There is a high-rise apartment building under constructure at west side of the site, together with the 30-story building at east direction, they would blocks a large part of sunlight and viewing angles from the site. However, the north and south direction remains open, and has good views to the Scott Park and two of the most iconic building of campus: Football Stadium and Assembly Hall. All the guest rooms and major functions of the hotel is arranged to be facing only south and north direction. The South side of the building are devided into different layers to achieve the most efficient way of distribution of south sunlight for different functions. Void spaces are created between the guest room layers and are made into roof garden and public functions such as bar, meeting rooms and gym. The roof garden would be able to have sufficient sunlight throught out the whole year. Meanwhile, the north part of the building are all made to be guest rooms

RESEARCH

2016 - 2018



LIGHT LIQUEFACTION 2018 MAY - JUL Collaborated Competition Project Teammate: Ziqi Chen, Shuaichuang Wang This design was selected as Regional Winner for North America in International VELUX Award 2018. Widely regarded as the “opal capital of the world”, Cooper Pedy locates in a desert in northern South Australia. It has 70 opal field and is the largest opal mining area in the world. Due to the harsh summer desert temperatures and notoriously low humidity, the residence chose to live in underground residences that’s called “dogouts” by the locals. Homes, restaurants and churches were carved out below the ground, and it became a major tourism attraction besides its opal industry. However, Underground homes helped with the unbearable heat in the summer, but the extreme lack of water and the general lighting for the dogouts still remain problematic. The intent of this design aims at providing a poetic solution to both the needs for water and lighting in a way that resembles the very nature of what the town is known for: Opal.

Opal

Namib beetle

Disperse light

Capture water

Inspired by the similarity between the microscopic structure of opal and Nambi desert beetle's watter collecting back, we we put small glass spheres that are closed packed together on top of the funnel skylight structure that brings daylight into the underground space to serve the purpose of both collecting water and creating light patterns.


We used a physical based renderer to test out different shapes and structures of light/ water dispenser under different environments, to made sure the light effects actually works as theory described, and eventually we settled on the cone shaped form for its consistency and versatility.

FAUCET

During the night, the acrylic cover at the top of the tube shall be opened. As morning wind sweeps with relatively high humidity across the desert oor, the water vapor condensates and would be locked between the glass spheres, and eventually forms droplets. This process would be continued before the dawn when the sun rises and begins to heat the tube and cause evaporation.


Night

Daytime

During the daytime, the acrylic cover will be closed. The light from outside will go through the glass sphere and water thus diffracted into the colorful beams into the underground. The interior diffracted light environment is very similar to opal’s

PERSONAL RENDERINGS

2016 SEP - DEC

Here are some of the rendering project I did outside of studio works. It mainly consists of two project: rebuilding of Hurva Synagogue based on Louis Kahn's remaining sketches, and recreating the skylight system in Kimbell Art Museum. The models were built in Rhino and the renderings were made in Vray and Thea Render.


HURVA SYNAGOGUE BY LOUIS KAHN Hurva Synagogue is one of most famous Louis Kahn's designs that were never built. As a huge fan of Kahn, I took a investigation into Kahn's drawings and notes, used them to rebuild the 3D model of this building in Rhino, then rendered it using Thea Render.


KIMBELL ART MUSEUM BY LOUIS KAHN This is an independent study project on recreating the authentic lighting condition of skylight system in Kimbell Art Museum by ways of photorealistic rendering. I built the model in Rhino based on the existing drawings and rendered the images in Vray. There are minimum amount of Photoshop involved in the production.



ROBOTIC ARM 3D PRINTING 2017 JAN - DEC Independent Study Teammate: Christopher Wiens Professor: Melissa Goldman ,

This is a independent study project on using KUKA robotic arms for printing of large 3D framing structure. The traditional 3D printing can be interpreted as large amount of 2D printing materials stacking together, while such process could provide relatively accurate result for any input geometry, it’s heavly limited in printing speed and the size of the printer. This project aims at using KUKA robotic arms to direct extrude and draw the structure the lines in three dimensional space, therefore the significantly increase the printing speed, and the size of result can now extend to the furthest reach of the robotic arm. Similar researches are currently ongoing in various of other schools such as ETH, University of Michigan and MIT. However their researches are mostly closed source. This project will be open source and become a foundation for future development for different circumstances of usage in architecture design.

[Python Sequencing Algorithm] Part of the path ďŹ nding sequence algorithm are almost impossible to achieve in Grasshopper, so I incorporated Python codes into the Grasshopper script for this speciďŹ c parts about using the list amount of strokes to drawing any given 2D grid structure.

The results shown in the pictures here have height around 1ft and was printed in less than1 hour, which is signiďŹ cantly faster than normal 3D printer would need to print a structure of similar size.
