1. Studio Work it’s just a bridge over the aquatic center

Community Aquatic Center in Urban Environment of Southwest Within the underused community park the site was set right on the pedestrians’ pathway. By directly overlaying the volume and opening up either side to the main avenue, the lobby and concession area on the ground floor serves as a bridge to allow through traffic over the aquatic activity center down stairs. The pathway was chosen out of several for its location between the competitive activity space (north side with multi-use sports field) and more personal and slow activity space (south side with dog park and senior center.) By maximizing the permeability and visibility of the building volume the aquatic center will serve as the center of interaction for both park visitors and aquatic center users.

1. Studio Work extending the Papago Park Water Loop to the Gateway

Papago Gateway Park: blended urban + park environment 1 merge point: centralizes multiple directions and means of transportation

the park edge and residential zone mediate two zones with landscaped pathsalong the canal

profiles: park tram, pedestrians, cicyclists, office workers directions: the park, the hall of flame, the municipal stadium, the light rail station, SRP and other offices

2 the park edge zone along the street increase the accessible area to the papago park

merge point: city sidewalk of the urban environment and the landscape of the park gradually overlaps key nodes: the lightrail station, the park environment, event spaces, tram station, the municipal stadium, Papago Park

the park edge and commercial zone blend two activities along the water to develop the local identity

activities: access to the surrounding office and facilities, family hang out, public outdoor game viewing, other events


1. Studio Work landscape, water, hill, and the dialogue

Cemetery Garden: place of memory

the landscape had to be quiet yet not mute. not to bother the personal moment yet not absent. without a strong notion of programmatic organization, the landscape had to embrace the delicate moments at the grave yard away from the service spaces. the dialogue between water and the hill shaped its answer. only such a simple gesture could control the complexity of the place of sorrow.

Spring 2006: Philip Horton

after relocating her property to the center of the town, the book binder decided to collaborate with the libraryan to open up the south side of their properties for a public park. throughout the site, indoor or outdoor, it had to be permeable in both physical circulation and information.

2. Design Competition diVert

Flip - a - Strip Competition

diVert: strip mall franchise concept. franchise malls are a community oriented, green enterprise that strengthen local economies by growing locally owned businesses. Branding: the diVert franchise provides a strong brand image, and large group advertising & marketing in order to foster identity and provide consistent expectations. ReUSE: this brand franchise could then be purchased and incorporated into any strip mall. the tenant mix is irrelevant. the typical low boq building form is time tested and accepted. modifications that require additional building area, difficult zoning adjustments, existing false fronts, exuberant canopies, and ad hoc signage add cost and visual difficulty, and are rejected.

2. Design Competition connecting the dots

Canalscape Design Competition

2. boardwalk + sidewalk: city park

The unyielding grid of Phoenix clashes with the geo-historic weave of the canals, chopping the canal system into so many threads. The development which followed the grid isolated and hid these threads as the city grew. When people see the isolated canals behind developments, it is associated with the nearby power lines or dumpsters. At best, people see the canals as infrastructure; at worst, stinking eyesores. To change public perception, it is necessary to create nodes which seamlessly knit the canals and the city together. For these nodes to function, they must be a meaningful interplay between the two systems. It is therefore necessary to design different nodes to best fit each area of the city/canal interface, loosely categorized as urban, suburban, and desert. While the developments shown here are site specific, it is intended that they serve as prototypes for the three types of areas. While varying in scale and program, the prototype developments share common elements to functionally and visually re-link the canals spread across the city. Each development literally blurs the boundary between the canal and the city, which serves as an interface to the canalscape for residents, pedestrians, and cyclists. Earth crust inspired building forms reflect the heritage of the native landscape, and provide maximum site shading. Cool towers act as iconic city landmarks while providing shelter and naturally cooled spaces for public gatherings, dining, and retail. As these developments coalesce along the canal system, the city of grids and threads meshs to form an integrated city fabric.
