ROTATION REVOLUTION

Cinematic View of Civita di Bagnoregio

Cinematic View of Civita di Bagnoregio Columbia GSAPP Advance VI Studio Teamwork with William Kim Critic: Steven Holl + Dimitra Tsachrelia January to April 2019

Derived from the cosmic beauty of ‘rotation and revolution’ phenomenon found in the universe, the project transforms the characteristics of this phenomenon into an architecture language.

Our language stimulates a moment that you first encounter Civita. Planar expression inspired by different revolutions sculpture the views of Civita and its surrounding.

The interpretation of this infinite sensation is translated to simultaneous circular space contributing to the sequence of experience within the project.

Relationship with Civita di Bagnoregio Our proposal would be located on a small plateau, opposite of the ridge that overlooks Civita.

Residing on similar elevation in which, visitors are able to encounter civita with the same eye level at arrival.

Site Plan

Access is available from two different level.The objective to let people naturally come into the visitor center and experience Civita visually before they actually go into the town of Civita.

LA REFORMA CONCERT HALL

Weaving the Old and the New

Weaving the Old and the New Columbia GSAPP Advance V Studio Critic: Mark Rakatansky + Jorge Otero-Pailos September to December 2018

The La Reforma Concert Hall proposes a radical renewal of the old U.S. Embassy in Mexico. New additions for the hall considerately weave through the existing architecture allowing visitors to experience the duality of time that the building inhabits. Three new theatres are inserted into the building, each specific to its size and purpose.

CLOSING THE GLASS LOOP

A Glass Factory... and A Glass Museum

A Glass Factory... and A Glass Museum Columbia GSAPP Advance IV Studio Critic: David Benjamin January to April 2018

This project is a "transparent" glass factory. Serving also as a museum, the factory reveals the inner workings of glass recycling to the public eye. The factory will use cullets collected from NYC recycling plants in its production. The museum aims to provide a space to rethink the importance of recycling glass by placing the visitors inside the unique space created by the actual processes of glass recycling.

CONNECTIVITY HOUSING

Connectivity in Different Scale

Connectivity in Different Scale Columbia GSAPP Core III Studio Teamwork with John Sanchez Critic: Eric Bunge September to December 2017

Creating connectivity in different scales intensifies communication. The L shaped unit is characterized by a triangular patio that provides a link between the two sides of the unit. Patios are positioned diagonally to get sunlight and visually connect to each other.

The patios initiate a "not so private" space, stacking to create a vertical neighborhood and a social community on the faรงade. In the urban scale, by placing clusters along the site, clusters distinguish the space between outside and inside of the housing. Generous openings betweens clusters invite pedestrians to the park. Corner programs like the food market and school bus pick ups are related to the contextual urban programs.

READING LIVING PLANTS

Modular Garden Library

Modular Garden Library Columbia GSAPP Core II Studio Critic: Benjamin Cadena January to May 2017

Reading Living Plants reconfigures the contemporary library as a botanical garden, specializing in plant literature. Book collections are organized by climate zones: warm temperate, desert, and tropical, with each home to its own environmental conservatory.

In this botanical library, visitors learn through experience: upon reading about a certain plant, they can then see it in its immediate context, in the adjacent conservatory.

A flexible modular structure enables stability in housing plant pots and provides ease in changing and replacing them. In walking above, below, and around plants, Reading Living Plants creates a library where plants, books, and humans coexist.

WALKING ON WATER

Connecting River, Park, and Residence

Connecting River, Park, and Residence Columbia GSAPP Core I Studio Critic: Alfie Koetter Decemember 2016

This project aims to connect Alphabet City to the East River and East River Park. Currently, the sole access point for residents is an existing footbridge. In integrating the existing footbridge into the new cultural terminal, residents are now connected to the water.

Within the cultural terminal, stairs are replaced with a system of ramps—equal parts promenade and structure, allowing ease of access to visitors riding bicycles or strolling with their baby.

The ground level becomes a waterfront, intentionally devoid of program, allowing visitors to experience water visually, physically, and emotionally, providing an undisturbed interaction with water.

Subway Station with Light

Subway Station with Light Columbia GSAPP Core I Studio Critic: Alfie Koetter November 2016

Functionally, access to a subway station can be achieved by a single staircase. This project envisions the vertical pathway as staircases enveloped by a series of tilted funnels. Alternative means of vertical circulation is condensed to a single elevator and ramp.

Light wells are scattered throughout, puncturing the circulation funnels at angles of 15-degree increments, providing subway-goers with a variety of multi-directional lighting conditions, depending on the time of day, as they descend.
