Urban Institute SOMA, San Franscico, CA
The project explores the concept of operability for human-oriented and climate-responsive designs. Operable wall panels create flexible spaces and offer multi-affordances that adapt to the body and space. The human-environment relations are also manifested in the operable facade that responds to the users’ thermal comfort and local climate. Programmatically, The Urban Institute will be the new home for WPA’s 1:100 scale model, which features every building in San Francisco. In addition to exhibition spaces, the building is a conjunction of research workspaces, a public assembly hall, and meeting rooms.

The facade is made from a series of wooden screens that are inspired by the concept of the Moire pattern. In contrast to the East, the Westfacing shading is made from two wooden panels with more control to prevent the western sun from overheating the building.

Rethinking Urban Density Sunset District, San Francisco, CA
In the 1960’s and into the 1990’s, San Francisco down zoned its residential districts into singlefamily neighborhoods on the west side of the city, contributing significantly to the housing shortage. This project transforms the Outer Sunset from a quiet under-utilized neighborhood into a vibrant and diverse urban community with multi-unit apartments along the transit lines at Taravel Street. Designed for a healthy and positive lifestyle, the apartment has a series of public spaces that promotes the sense of community. Further, the apartment responds to the local climate through building orientation and facade development.

There are a complex interaction and layerings of public, semi-public, semiprivate and private space. The goal is to design a private home within a shared context, integrating and separating what is shared and what is private.

Intersections and Voids How does the concept of intersection manifest itself through material means? The project began with constructing an existing intersection from a continuous sheet of foam board. The chunkiness of the material shapes the solid-void relationships, manifesting the intersection of the solids as as voids. The assembly of parts influenced the formal qualities of the structure, creating a sequence of compression and expansion. Here, color is used to suggest circulation. Transitioning from the narrow corridors into grand open spaces, one will be experiencing the intersections of the solids.

Emerson College Morphosis This model studies an exemplary building as a way to learn how other architects have attempted to activate and actualize a set of interests. Through a process of assessment, interpretation, reduction, and abstraction that are absent from documentation, I produced a sectional model. I analyzed the spatial organization, envelope, performance, and structure of the building; and reflected these relationships in the physical model.

Kids Haus This is a three-person group project to design a children playhouse. The structure is designed to windstand 90lb of dead, live, and wind loads. The symmetry in the structure creates a uniform distribution of mass, stiffness, and strength; and allows the structure to undergo lateral and torsional motion when it is subject to seismic and wind loads. During load testing, the structure was able to carry 250-lb before failing at the joints in the base and diagonal bracing.
