1 PLAYSCAPE + ——COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER
The studio aims at exploring the possibility of a new typology of public schools. Starting from the notion of play: 'NON-PRESCRIPTION', we reexamined the relationship between play and education and created an environment that could ensure the efficiency of the both. Insipred by Isamu Noguchi, we believe that an educational space emphasizes imagination will be of great benefit to the learners, especially children. Playground, as a necessity in the life of children, should instead of telling children what to do (swing here, climb there) but becoming a place of endless exploration, of endless opportunity of changing play. We started the exploration of the 'non-prescription' from the very basic architectural elements such as slabs, columns, roofs and objects. We extend their definition beyond architectural field, proposing the floor slabs could be the playground, columns could be rooms and the partition walls of the classrooms could be flexible enough for multiple functions. We also intended to combine two different spatial qualities in order to ensure the most activity efficiency.

Massing Strategy The original school on the site suffers from 3 main shortcomings: awkward layout, insufficient space and the local high unemployment rate. In order to introduce new programs (adult school and its affiliation) and provide enough space for necessary programs of the old institution, we are proposing a new building to both satisfy the needs of children and to help the parents explore their own career possibilities. There are three key programs in this project: children's education, adults' education and community services. We then defined its sub-programs into two categories: the nonprescriptional and the prescriptional.The overall massing strategy is to surround the prescriptional programs with a non-prescriptional perimeter, and then locate the specific program based on its sharing situation.
children education (55%) Including kindergarten, elementary school and middle school
For sake of the safety of children and clear circulation of different groups, we seperate adults and children into different buildings and combine adult education with some social programs.
adults education (20%) Teaching gardening, writing, computer skills and etc.
social programs (25%) Including clothing donations, immigration advice, laundry services, daycare etc.

The Hybrid Prescriptional + Non-prescriptional We put traditional classrooms in the center to guarantee the practice of the routinely school schedule. The surrounding is a series of playgrounds with the flexibility to become classrooms for multiple kinds of curriculums. The changing slope indicates the different activities.

2 COLLAGE CITY ——AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN BRONX Collage City is a housing project based in the Bronx, New York. The housing complex relies on micro-, local- neighborhoods where residents would not only share objects and experiences, but recycling amenities and facilities. The project also introduces 3Rs (Reduce, Recycle and Reuse) to its inhabitants and its neighborhood. It is a critique and response to the American hyper-consumerism that gives rise to problems of unsustainability such as material consumption, material excess, exploitation of material and labor, waste disposal and incineration. Spines consisting of cabinets and shafts face the courtyards, with trash and laundry chutes that are directed into the courtyards. This project aims to create these pools of material goods and labor that answers also issues of maintenance. The project tackles how owning and getting rid of stuff can enhance public spaces on the ground level. People can aggregate in courtyards in special occasions of bazaars, flea markets, and engage in ceremonies of exchange, purchase, and donations, to honor those materials into better uses.The process of interaction becomes beginnings of conversations between families from different demographic and cultural backgrounds and lifestyles.

New York City Block Evolution Collage City takes a critical look at how perimeter blocks boast high density in housing people in land-scarce environments such as New York City, while throughout history, different courtyard proportions are experimented from historic tenement blocks with narrow air shafts, to Ernest Flagg-type Parisian-inspired courtyards, to luxurious Astor-developed courtyard buildings, to contemporary interpretations such as the VIA 57 West by BIG and Mercedes House by TEN Arquitectos. Courtyards allow for natural light and cross ventilation into each flat as a passive strategy to reduce the energy cost, which seems to be a recurring theme in the city’s residential endeavors. Collage City proposes multiple courtyards of different shapes and sizes. The courtyards are public spaces that contain civic programs such as ball courts, swimming pool, and recreational amenities, and transparent laundry and garbage facilities. These interventions become the temporary storage space for abandoned household items and furniture, and display them in attracting opportunities for a second life.

Unit Design
TYPICAL UNIT PLAN
The ‘Thick Wall’ in every apartment creates a space for residence to store their personal stuff as an exhibition shelf as well as a space for the garbage/ laundry/ furniture shafts. There will be exhibition shelves facing each courtyards, so the whole community will become a collection of various races and lifestyles as you see from the courtyards. This kind of architectural design also promotes the sharing between people in one apartment and also sharing between apartments or different groups of people.

Collage City promotes long-term flexibility and re-use. Its curtain wall can be recycled and easily repaired and dissembled, thanks to the multiple courtyard-facing facades. Its courtyards can store maintenance machinery, such as scissor elevators and crane. Its dispersed and large-numbered garage rooms facilitate maintenance and upkeep. Its resiliency during disasters is improved by the courtyards, where parts of a building can be shut down temporarily due to its diversified courtyard typologies. Its courtyards can be re-purposed in face of disasters. By thinking about the Bronx site as a venue for possibilities, used toys and books can be re-purposed from surrounding schools, as well as out-fashioned electronics, clothing, and furniture from NYCHA blocks. The Collage City introduces programs such as food banks, community kitchen, thrift shops, second-hand book stores, and farming that systematizes a flow of resources both within the project and within the district. The perimeter block has more than eight entrances and lobbies, as well as retail and recycling programs along its periphery to engage neighbors.

Newark is abundant with transportation systems, yet the McCarter Hwy becomes the biggest obstacle in the design. It not only splits the site into two pieces geographically but also largely prevents visitors from gainning access towards the riverside. What we propose here is a building that runs horizontally above the highway with a hill-like roof. The roof serves as a bridge between the city Highway Highway ResearchResearch and the Park Park river, while helping facilitate the rainwater collection at the same time. The building also helps separate the itineraries of automobile and pedestrian to ensure the safety of both. Therefore, the formal industrial-like site becomes a warm garden and automatically blends into nature. The architecture becomes the landscape. CONTENT:

6 GROWING ON HILL ——DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE The idea of this project is to create a landmark in line with the nearby central green park on campus – a department building where architecture and nature merge and form a safe environment for students, a super functional and attractive workplace and a green recreational haven for all people in the area.
I can climb to the platform.
The site is on the central hill in campus with easy access to the important facilities such as library, cafeteria and the Tongji lake. The layout of the design is decided by the spineline of the hill and the directions towards these surrounding facilities. The building grows out of the landscaped woodlands, and consistently brings architecture students close to nature both inside and out, to create a healing atmosphere for the students with high pressure. The architectural expression is therefore also based on an organic, soft and humane design. Studios with courtyards and landscaped gardens form a green base for the slim bed wards that rise above the building’s accessible green roofs. A public garden promenade on the third floor, leads into and right through the complex, and makes the building open and democratically accessible to all students in the area: You can follow the path up to the roof and enjoy the view, without compromising the privacy of the classrooms and studios.

7 CITY ASSEMBLY LINE ——INSTITUTION OF CONSTRUCTION IN NEWBURGH
Instructor Studio Collaborator Program Location
Adam Frampton GSAPP Spring 2018 Advanced IV Zhibin Li Institution of Construction Newburgh, NY
Design Strategy Newburgh is a former industrial city, while most of its industry leaving and depopulation happened at the same time in the 1960s. Large amounts of vacant properties were left in the city. With such existing framework of high population capacity and great natural resources, Newburgh has the potential to become a sustainable city with the revitalized Broadway and vibrant waterfront area. The key word of this project is connectivity. We try to reunite the unused resources and reconnect the vacant properties, the Broadway and the waterfront area to create a campus that provides expertise on building construction. From the perspective of urban planning, we identified two areas with a high density of vacancy and developed them into two of the new campuses. School bus will help connecting the two campuses in the city with the one on the riverside. From the program perspective, classrooms and workshops will be inserted into the original vacant buildings, while the waterfront campus will mainly provide construction expertise as well as manufacturing construction products to rebuild the vacancy and infrastructures in the city.

The goal of the workshop is to assess the properties and to explore the potential of a new foam material made out of recycled fly ash. We propose to investigate how it might be used and what type of formwork can be used at the human scale. This was done by casting large-scale elements assembled into a fullscale architectural space.

This project is about orientation. It is really amazing that New York City has such a wide view along the East River, compared with the concrete forest in Manhattan city. However, the interaction between the view and people is weak. The project tries to lead people towards it and to truly experience it. Accordingly, the proposal created serious vaults to orient people to certain directions.

There are three different scales of vaults to satisfy varies kinds of people, both children and adults. In addition, these vaults can create different width of views through rotating or intersecting. When going along the vault corridor, the vaults will orient the visitors towards 9 different views on this big panorama.

Spanning scales from corporeal to urban, work was prodeuced through an iterative process of translation; a feedback loop across analytical drawing and critical material explorations enabling the transformation of concept into organizational, spatial and tectonic systems. Through the filter of death and remembrance in the 21st century metropolis, the studio explored new typologies of scular-sacred space, imagine how our collective mortality may redefine how we build, share and utilize urban public space.
