VISUAL MOCK-UPS OF RETAIL PODIUM FACADE Mixed-Use Development Wuhan, China Professional Project Facade Design 2015-2016
Construction of 1:1 scale visual mock-ups (VMU) of retail podium facade was commissioned by the client to read the effect of design intent and to resolve possible construction issues prior to the actual construction of entire building. In total 3 VMUs were detailed and constructed to understand all the wall types, roof types, and the material interface design of the project. I was involved from the beginning of VMU tender process to the later construction phase. My duties include VMU facade design and development package preparation, tender package preparation, VMU tender selection, coordination with contractors and consultants for completion of construction document, material selection and sourcing, and site visit. The VMUs studied and detailed out the following facade wall types: diamond glass facade, diamond stone facade, stone strips facade with light boxes, shopfront glass facade, aluminum wall facade, glass box facade, and signage wall facade. The VMUs also studied feature roof of the project, including details of and interfaces between skylights, louvers, aluminum panels, artificial turf roof, gutters, and parapet.

RETAIL PODIUM DESIGN Mixed-Use Development Wuhan, China
Professional Project Facade Design 2014-2016
The LEED Gold certified mixed-use development is situated in downtown Wuhan City, Hubei Province in central China. The project spans a gross floor area of 433,000 square meters above ground comprising of a 50m high 6-storey retail podium, a 325m high office tower, and three service apartment towers with the height of 150m, 175m and 200m respectively.

My responsibilities in this project mainly focused on the design development of retail podium roof and facade. The facade consists of 6 wall types, including diamond glass wall, diamond stone wall, shopfront glass wall, aluminum wall, signage wall, and feature stone wall (interlayers of stone strips and lightboxes). During the design development phase I studied the modulation of diamond glass panels and diamond stone panels, the interface detail between different materials, the visual effect of stone paneling, lightbox installation detail, louver arrangement and design, the placement of entrance and exit doors in consideration of fire regulations, the material selection to meet the LEED requirements, and the fine-tuning of design based on material manufactural constraints. The dynamic infinity loop roof evolved as a response to the site’s circulation pattern. The roof form was articulated by looping pattern of skylight, louver, aluminum panels, gutters, and artificial turf. During the design phase I was involved in formulation and fine-tuning of roof pattern in coordination with E&M requirements, water drainage, interior natural light arrangement, and demand for aesthetic qualities.

The project looks into alternative campus design strategies in response to the shifted education paradigm and technological advancement. Traditional typological approach that explicitly delineates spaces based on the assigned programmatic uses was considered designer-centric in this project, which turned a blind eye on users, context, and environment as whole. The project proposed that a successful campus plan should map out resiliency to changes and encourage communication and collaboration. The spatial arrangement should be open-ended for which the users can modify according to their needs, now and in the future. The campus plan in this project was designed to be responsive, and be capable of adapting into the advancing technology, changing programming demands, and unpredictable events.

The unique location of Cornell Tech campus also addresses the issue of designing in response to environmental changes and reconnection to the natural habitat. The design recognizes the fact of sea level rising and maximizes the island’s capacity to absorb and adapt into the changes. The elevated and permeable building design allows for the restoration of natural habitat and intends to integrate the built environment with natural surroundings. The campus was also designed to calibrate and to retain the continuity among the surrounding communities: the established residential community to the north of the island, the Four Freedoms Park to the south of the island, Manhattan to the west of the East River, and Queens borough to the east of the river. The continuum allows the flow of knowledge and the freely adaptive spaces allow the campus to serve as an incubator welcoming all types of possibilities. SANDY JAN

INFORMAL SETTLEMENT FORMAL SETTLEMENT
FARMER’S MARKET
INSTITUTIONAL USE COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL USE
Medellin has a segregated settlement pattern with which the communities are both physically excluded from each another as well as culturally, mainly due to income disparity. The urbanized areas are occupied by wealthy residents who are readily accessible to ample economic privileges and resources, while the low-income population fueled by waves of rural migration to the city inevitably have to settle informally in the areas that are generally inhabitable. Despite in close proximity, the two types of settlement patterns do not share resources with each other. The lack of a more integrative urban fabric further prevents the communication between two settlement systems.

The project, by investigating the distinctive food supply systems servicing the two different settlement patterns – the wealthy urban residents and the resources-deprived informal settlers, proposed strategies to integrate the two food supply chains. The integration allows a more efficient and mutually beneficial food distribution system. More importantly, by altering the food supply chains and distribution routes, the city can automatically weave together the two segregated community fabric and provide venues for cultural exchange. New opportunities also arise so both formal and informal settlement communities can be benefited from sharing economic resources, workforces and public facilities. The project proposed an urban development strategy which pointed out the cultural importance of industrial planning.

Design A Riverfront Hub housed farmer’s markets, retail stores, and public performance area is designed to revitalize waterfront by promoting local culture and local produce. The Hub invites people from center of the city and the surrounding neighborhoods to the waterfront by green corridors and bike lanes. The residential development in this proposal incorporates practice of urban farming, which allows the operation of Riverfront Hub sustainable by the local community. The various scales of outdoor performance spaces are designed to provide showcasing venues for local talent, in this town known as the center of country music. Public space The design promotes hands-on experience of harvesting one’s own food. There are small scale farms that people can visit and harvest seasonally. Restaurants and the nearby market can process the produce for dining and can provide booths for selling the own products. The Riverfront Hub uses local produce and local music talent as catalysts to create a vibrant public space and to promote a healthy living style. Community & Economy The Riverfront Hub provides employment opportunities especially to the residential neighborhood immediately north of Sulphur Dell, where poverty appears to be a prominent social issue.
