Location: Brussels, Belgium. Program: Extension of Palais des Beaux Art + Museum of Performing Arts
ADVANCE DESIGN A [Palais du Beaux Art]
SITE PHOTOS & INFORMATION Palais des Beaux Art, also known as the BOZAR is the cultural center in Brussels that house a multidesciplinary space designed to bring together a wide range of artistic events, from music to visual arts, theater, dance, literature and architecture. The original building is designed by Victor Horta between 1922-1929. The intention of the building was to gather multiple disciplines of artistic expression in the same place. The building is historically and politically important and thus the government is looking for a proposal to extend the BOZAR. The proposed extension has an overarching goal to relate the BOZAR with the community and also to integrate an entrace for the Royals that is located across the park. Hence, the proposal includes how to integrate the building to meet the needs of the community, the Royals and also the performers who will be utilizing the building.

AN UNDERGROUND “MOUNT” OF THE ARTS “Immense and yet almost invisible, overlooking the city and yet buried underground, multiple and yet unified, prestigious and yet open to all...this was how Victor Horta imagined the first cultural centre of its kind to be constructed in Europe, the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts” The original building of the BOZAR is nestled in the heart of Brussels, the current structure of the building is an aging facility that serves as the cultural center for the community. BOZAR is burried 8 floors underground and preserved a significance piece of Victor Horta, the skylights, that illuminate light deep into the building.
ADVANCE DESIGN A [Palais du Beaux Art]
BOZAR is soon running out of space and needs to meet the future demand of its functionality that would bring the opportunity for expansion. The site is pretty unique as the front of the BOZAR goes 40 feet down below the grond level. Also, there is a historical wall along the back of the BOZAR that they are trying to preserve.

This is a circulation space that is loacted on the northern part of the buildings. This space can also be conceived as a reflection space. It is trasparent to draw in the outdoor experience into the space. This space will allow moments for the users to reflect on the city and also to appreciate Horta’s skylights on the large aperture that is on the very right side.
PROGRAMS
ADVANCE DESIGN A [Palais du Beaux Art]
The extension of the BOZAR will host programs that will meet the needs of the performers and also the publics, integrated with the connection to the Palace across the park. These programs includes:

SYMBIOTIC RELATIONS
ADVANCE DESIGN A [Palais du Beaux Art]
Symbiot is a mutually reinforcing relationship between persons who are dependent on each other; a normal characteristic of the relationship between a mother and infant.
24
The concept of the new extensions and also the original BOZAR is an analogy to symbiot. The project pushes for a grand entrance from the street, connecting it with the BOZAR that is burried 40 feet underground. The openness of the ground entrance will draw people into the building horizontally. In the main lobby, you can also experience the circulation vertically along the core of the building. Thus, there is a fluidity of movement outside and within the building.

Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands. Program: Mixused Housing Programs
SITE PHOTOS & INFORMATION Loacted near the center of Rotterdam and the Erasmus Bridge, one of a ports in Rotterdam,The Glashaven. It is a muted port and nowadays a busy street in the center of Rotterdam . The Glashaven was a side port of the Wijnhaven, where three peninsulas surrounded by the water. Our site is the smallest and northernmost peninsula among the three. This Project focus on the development of mix-used housing development, intergrating human sensibity and also thinking about connective function ‘space between the spaces’ between human and also the environment. For the purpose of this project, we assume that all buildings along Wijnkade have burned to the ground. The tasks is to redesign the peninsula from scratch.

THE ICONIC PENINSULA CONCPTUAL MODELS ROTTERDAM is known as the CIty of Architecture. Many new towers have risen and many iconic buildings are designed. The schematic design began with the concept of ROTTERDAM being an iconic destination, this project scheme aim to create another iconic housing that is seated on one of the peninsulas. This sheme offeres an inimitable living experience

FLOATING & NARROW DWELLING TYPOLOGIES As a mean of densifying urban area, narrow houses typology have been used all over the world in order to create maximum amount of dwellings with controlled orientation. Utilizing a plot of area with a controlled accessibility orientation. The scheme of the project considers different aspects of human sensibility including lights, flexibility, social aspects, facade and also communication with the outside environment. These narrow dwellings are then stacked together on this floating peninsula, creating a floating living experience that has view to either the building circulation or towards the city.
LINKING THE ADJACENT AISLE
ADVANCE DESIGN A [The Floating House]
This project scheme doesn’t only push the housing development on a narrow peninsula, we also need to take into consideration the cultural and the built environment within the Rotterdam landscape. This proposal generates several spatial ideas in the neighbourhood, how to link the space of a neighbouring houses. Also, integrating a public space between houses on adjacent aisle. Thinking about the private versus the shared spaces in the neighborhood.

SENSE OF COMMUNITY Rendering of the exterior facade of the projects. The streets are only open for pedestrian and bicycle, thus it enhance human engagement and creating its own community. The long and narrow dwellings allow each unit two have two facades, the exterior facade is facing the main pedestrian steet and also has a view to the city; and the inner facade facing the neighbours that is separated by the vertical stairs that serves as an entrace for the dwellings that is not connected to the ground. This way, the floating house is not only an iconic housing, but offers a social connection for the residence as well as anyone who visit the place. This housing scheme are partially transparent and airy, thus the whole complex may appear to float at night and some lighting may reflect on the water.

This complex is designed to create a unique interaction between spaces and the people. The compact dwellings will enhance the spatial quality of the space, the proximity between the houses will bring people together and create a community for the area. Shared space will be maximized and activated by the neighbouring habitants, as well as the people who come to visit this place.

SITE PHOTOS & INFORMATION

Barcelona, Spain.
Located in La Vila Olimpica del Poblenou, which is a neighbourhood in Sant Marti District in Barcelona. This area was developed in the late 1980s-1990s for the Summer Olympic Games that was host in Barcelona. The neighbourhood around Poblenou district was marked as a residential area, otherwise industrial and also working class district. The urban development of this area follows the rectilenear outline of the Eixample [the extension of the old city in Barcelona].

The aim of this proposal is to (inter)positioning place within a struggling context. This area was once important and lively, yet it is now struggling as it holds no true identity to its relationship with the surrounding context, as well as within itself.
Location: Barcelona, Spain. Program: Library + Civic Building.

SPATIAL PEDAGOGY SKETCH MODELS The library design went through a several iteration, starting on a concept of organizing functionality of a space into a spatial compartments. The aim is not only to create a flexibility of spaces but also to accomodate the needs of the users. The concept of the interior and exterior space depict the idea of “form follows function.� This library is deisgned differently than the traditional library (flatness), meanwhile in this proposal, each floor is discreet in order to adapt with growth and contraction in certain sections that is contained within a single floor.

X-RAY Study of Barcelona
ADVANCE DESIGN B [Barcelona New Library]
UNDERLYING VOID X-RAY STUDY MODELS In the process of studying the design of the library, the contextual characteristic of the site is as important as the disign of the singular building. These X-RAY models on the left side help me to analyze about the existing development patttern of Barcelona. Overlaying the occupied space and other physical information generate the underlying voids that could relate to the future development. Perhaps, the void could potentially intervene with the space within the library to generate a connection between the site and the building.
62
ADVANCE DESIGN B [Barcelona New Library]
INTERVENING THE URBAN VOID
SPATIAL PERCEPTION 1. Interwoven Spaces 2. Cognitive Connection 3. Porous Periphery
The site in Barcelona is abstracted into three spatial perception. The city make me feel that there is a fluidity of movement within the space yet it is tangible. Spaces interweve resulting in a pleasant experience to wonder around the city. The experiantial characters of the space could lead people to become more and more familiar with the environment.
With that, memories come into play when the occupant began to relate with the similar experience. The challenge of this site is, there is a void that is separating the human and the experiential space. Evidence in the lack of inhabitable, urban spaces with the scale and comfort to support integral human activity has resulted in the absence of a place that enhance human interaction within this Vila Olimpica.

RESTRORING FOR THE COMMUNITY SKETCH MODELS Beside having the library as a building in the program, this proposal also have a goal to contribute some partial of the land for the community. Hence, there is a proposal of a civic building that has a market for the residential in the neighborhood to do their grocery. On the top floor of the market, there will be an auditorium and ballroom that can be rented out for public or private event. Also, there are office spaces that can be rented out on the very top floor. This Building on the Northern West will be restored for community purposes.

Housing a public program in the heart of Vila Olimpica will help to solve the “inactive� issue of the site. The site condition and the modern culture will intertwine in the creation on public space and urban landscape, together with a civic building situated within a struggling context to serve the public as a destination within the district in Barcelona. This proposal will also help to accomodate a public university that is located on the West side.

PAVILLION AS SHADES
82
The pavillion plays a significant role in the design of the Barcelona Public Library and also for the urban landscape that is designed for the community. This Pavillion allows more opportunity to provide a gathering space that will enhance a social interaction. By creating a node within the public buildings, places will become better connected in time and space. Establishing a more social form of shading devices will then create density and intensity so that connections with places and culture will be reinforced.

MIN TO MAX Redeinsifying Tampa Heights Tampa Riverwalk Extension
RECLAIMING TAMPA SITE HISTORY & INFORMATION Tampa’s Downtown district has a distinct character and gridion layout yet throughout history the Northern end of the peninsula has remained neglected. The presence of recently completed Riverwalk further examplifies our neglect for this site. Our site is Located at Tampa Heights area, is to the North of Tampa downtown and also Tampa Riverwalk. One trace of character within the city that sets a positive course for a remediation is the Riverwalk. Lacking however, is a background, a pedestrian-friendly framework of interlocking activities that encourage pedestrian to engage in the city. In this project, we are going to zoom in to an urban development around Tampa Heights area and trying to relate it with the landmarks that exist in the area, including 7th Aveue that connects to YBOR and also N Tampa Avenue. Lastly, we are going to extent the Riverwalk all the way to our site.

We began this project by creating a conceptual mapping of the site, abstracting the information that we gathered into a three dimension layers of expressions. This information includes sun pattern, human and vehicular traffic, nodes of the social interactions and most importantly, we have to consider about flooding issue that is crucial for the city of Tampa.
ABSTRACT CONCEPTUAL MAP
PROGRESSION
ADVANCE DESIGN C [MIN TO MAX]
The limitation in deisgn requirements allows for interpretation and reinterpretation of the set to create a variety of outcomes. The result of one solution creates another boundary. The limitations create endless possibilities from which design can evolve; creating the most interesting architecture. Below are the evolution, progression and development or a series of related things.

96
The area between Tampa Heights and Ybor City is sparse aand blightes area wedged amid two major city highways. Standing as fragmented residue of the colliding city grids with the water, the area is lost from the potential that the site has offered. The revitalization plan commits to transforming the current underutilizes district into an energetic destination for living. Recognizing the opportunity to create a unique community that could stitch together the surrounding districts, the proposal reenvision the area as invirogating sustainable vanguard of the city. The urban core reaps the advantages of the greater density and diversity from revitalized community. The multiple levels of affordability in housing enables the plan to better achieve this goal.

My proposal seeks to draw on the existing context and develop connections with a social continuation to create settings for pedestrian movement, interaction and rest. The Riverwalk and the pocket parks that I proposed within the blocks help to establish these connections by using formal qualities within the block tyes to foster environment favorable to the user and responsive to the climate. Also, proportioning a balance of land uses and design elements will enhance the city’s livability while the new programs will create a sustaining community.

The Scale and Density of Barcelona varies as compared to Tampa. The average buildings on a block in Barcelona is about 5-7 stories high whereas in Tampa 2-3 stories high. The walkability of Barcelona proves to be more pedestrian friendly than that of Tampa. In Barcelona, there is foliage on both sides of the sidewalk and it helps to shade the pedestrians during hot weather. The form of the buildings in Barcelona are also used to define the form of the blockwith the facade exteding out of the edge of sidewalk which makes is a pedestrian friendly street. The ground floor of Barcelona is a successful public space to meet, socialize and walk because the street consist of diverse experieces and programs for pedestrians. In contrast to Tampa, the street is less diverse and there is not a lot of proper sidewalk.

The scale and density of the Rockefeller Plaza in New York varies as compare to Tampa.The average building on a block are about 20 to 60 stories high while in Tampa are about 2 to 3 stories high. The walkability of the Rockefeller Plaza proves to be more pedestrian friendly than of that Tampa.Since more of the inhabitant’s of New York live car-free life,the streets are extremely walkable. The ground floor of the buildings in New York are often mixed use,with the top floors being private offices. The program in Tampa is less diverse than New York ,with mostly residential buildings.
