Ohio 11,2014-12, 2014 Instructor: Jake Boswell, Katherine Bennett Sustainable Urbanism Design Team: Tian Wu, Shellie Miqbel, Kaitlyn Heskett The purpose of this project was to utilize water as a design agent. Our task throughout the semester was to study water properties, water machines, Columbus city pools, choose a site, and design. The most challenging portion of this task proved to be designing the pools. Currently, Columbus features a variety of public pools, most of which are outdoors and one indoor. Our chosen site was the Griggs Reservoir. Our design focused on a diverse range of water programs not represented in Columbus. The design of our site was composed of three main areas—one above the dam, at the spine of the dam, and below the dam. This site is a space which allows visitors to experience a different swimming environment in Columbus. From the spine of the dam, a bath house was constructed. Columbus does not provide an indoor bath house, allowing the dam to suffice for this lacking amenity. The building offers a variety of pools varying in temperature and size. This plan features water machines influencing the footprint of the building, allowing visitors to experience an artificial waterfall as they venture through the building. There are large water intakes filtering water through a series of sand filters and aeration spouts. The pools are heated by heat coils and generators to minimize costs of electric resources. Excess heat and steam from inside the bath house is moved through pipes to heat the arrival plaza in cold weather. This excess steam is also used to provide water mist on the plaza in hot weather.

Ecological Diagram Extruding from the bath house on the upper level of the dam is a floating pool and a floating dock. These spaces allow for different swimming experiences. People can relax in the main pool and grab a drink from the swim up bar or they could venture off to the furthest swim area to swim laps and dive from the diving docks. Connected to the floating dock is a boat dock. This space is for small boats, such as canoes, kayaks, and row boats. This works great because there is a row team Site 3D Model frequently practices at Griggs Reservoir. FLOATING POOL PERSPECTIVE

This section shows the elevation change through the bathhouse and floating pool. The section features a floating bath with an iternal sand beach. The upper structure rests on the part of thefirst floor with metal tubes. The no swimming zone is divided by the diving deck, which creates the safe swimming area.

These triangle construction looks really cool. Do you have any idea why it’s like that?
Wow!
I heard that they aerate the water from the reservoir so it doesn’t smell weird, and that it actually powers this entire thing! B

This section shows the elevation going through the bathhouse. There is a filter water pond on top of the east wing of the bathhouse, which provides cleaner water for the swimming pool.

Hm... you know, it’s alright. Honey, do you like the exhibition here?
Darling, do you want to watch the outdoor moive on the beach tonight?
To vamp up Columbus Parks, we have introduced a highly programmed walking trail on the lower part of the dam. There will be wetlands, raised walkways, an ice skating rink, an outlook and fishing dock, and connection to an island. The island will have a sand beach with a directed view to a water wall (the dam). The water wall is designed to help with cleaning the water through aeration. This is achieved by constructing a new dam façade protruding outward, allowing water to fall at a different angle and capture air as it falls. This is different from the current conditions because water falling on the dam’s smooth façade does not provide energy. The new façade will have a water screen for showing movies on special nights.
Honey, can you understand the sqwaking without subtitles?

FRANKLINTON ARTS CAMPUS East Franklinton, Columbus, OH 02,2013-04-2013 Instructor: Jake Boswell, Karla Trott Waterfront Development To design a campus combined Arts campus and residentical. Using artistic precedent to effect the site design. Historical Franklinton is the oldest community in the central Ohio located on the east side of Columbus. Presently, artists occupy the abandon buildings reside on this historical site. Redevelopment of this underutilized space need to be done in order to prepare for the removal of low head dams with future art campus. One of the most important aspects of the site is that it is directly adjacent to the Scioto River.

Site Perspective The design concept came from the drawing of Picasso’s. For my site, the most important concept is view-point. I would like to create a space that can be utilized for pleasure viewing of Columbus’s skyline and river. However, this space can also be utilized in a variety of eco-friendly ways. For example, there are two 400 square feet plazas which can serve as a meeting space for yoga, tai-chi, or even for leisure space where people can relax while embracing the beautiful view of the city and surrounding gardens. This layout is displayed clearly in my model. Each building has its own roof garden filled with benches, flowers, and small trees. Secondly, all of the shapes of this site are formed by several overlapping triangles, complimented by a levee in the same triangular formation at the front.
Leading to the levee are many water ways streaming from the gathering space. When it rains, the water ways take water from the incline in front of the levee to two small pools. Additionally, each building also contain water ways on the roof that carry the trickling rain water down the levels of the building to the ground level and into a small pool located at the base of the buildings. Moreover, there is a flat walkway in front of the levee by the river and it crosses through the three roof gardens of the community buildings. There are two main plazas in this space. Generally, they are the fixable space for gatherings, yoga, and tai-chi. When there is heavy rain weather, it becomes two big reservoirs.

Intensification of The Grid Wexner Center Plaza-Design in Detail Franklinton, Ohio 04,2014 Instructor: Karla Trott Design Team: Tian Wu, Shellie Miqbel, Pei Wang & Aminata Seck The design concept for the project was to intensify the campus and the city grid already existing on the site. The design also takes into consideration Peter Eisman’s design concept for the Wexner Center, where he was establishing the distinction between the past, present and future. Our design encourages people to enter the site and explore the unique circulation. The site incorporates the grids into the programming of the space, which will encourage cultural and social interconnections. For this project, I worked throughout the design process and finished the study model. The majority of drawing, including the section and detail documentation,was completed with my teammates.

Jesse Owens Memorial Plaza Proposal Group Proposal- One Day Workshop 03,2013 The Ohio Stadium Design Team: Tian Wu, Franco Manno, Blythe Worstell, Haley Wolfe This is one day workshop of The Ohio Stadium’s Jesse Owens memorial Plaza, nestled beside the Olentangy River and surrounded by various parking lots, is in need of a north entrance to honor its history and alumni track athlete Jesse Owens. The Jesse Owens Memorial is arranged immediately in front of the elaborate exedra of the ‘Shoe,’ making it an apologetic obstacle rather than a tribute to the former OSU athlete. Other concerns, such as safety and traffic congestion, are part of a solution for the site. For this workshop, my teammate and I proposed a site plan to cover all these needs. I participated in the whole design process and finished the site perspective and some collaboration with my teammate.

International Workshop DMZ, From Tragedy Towards Hope Yangji-ri Art Village Planning Location: Yangji-ri,Cheorwon, South Korea 08,2013 Instructor: Young Min Kim, Sang Hoon Lee Design Team: Sangmin Lee, Tian Wu, Thanapun Herunroj This project is done within 10-day International workshop on Urban Landscape at the University of Seoul. Our site, Yangji-ri, is one of a few village located at the north out of the Civilian Control Zone. As a hometown of 79 families, Yangji-ri is nicknamed “Village of migration birds.� During winter, the reservoir next to the village becomes a habitat for over 10,000 birds. The village is very close to North Korea that it was designated as Civilian Control Area and controlled by government and army. It has special building structures designed for propaganda which face the North. Another special characteristic of the site is the Real DMZ project. The contemporary art exhibition was held in boarder area of Cheorwon. The exhibition includes 11 contemporary artist who offered their own viewpoints on the divided reality of the Korean Peninsula. Our design team mainly focus on re-imaging DMZ through art and ecological tourist, based on the special characteristics of the site. The goal for our team was to create a vibrant Art Festival for the community which not only attracts artists, but also tourist from around the world. Rely on the needs of various people, my teammate and I proposed a master plan to cover all these needs. I worked throughout the whole design process and finished a majority of drawing with some collaboration with my teammate.

Sulphur Dell Market District incorporates thriving new corridors connecting the riverfront, the Market District core, downtown, and the neighborhoods beyond. Sounds Street is the most prominent of these new corridors. Anchored by the Nashville Farmers’ Market at its western origin, the Street provides an essential path from the Hope Gardens neighborhood, past Sounds Stadium, to a new food market and Riverfront Park in the east. The Street encourages great exchange between the underutilized Bicentennial Park and planned state museum and library, and the commercial and residential development comprising the heart of the SDMD. With exceptions made for food-vendor trucks, Sounds Street has been designed as a pedestrian promenade, ideal for block parties, live-music events, and large crowds on game days.

Fashion Schau /Angular Fragments 3rd Annual KSA FASHION SCHAU 01,2014 Designer: Tian Wu Stylist & Makeup: Tian Wu Model: Maggie Yin
The Silhouette of Model
The concept for the Schau (German for “show�) stemmed from the Bauhaus costume designs and Beaux Arts Balls of the early twentieth century. Similar to those events, SERVitecture created the Schau around the idea of rethinking fashion architecturally. At the KSA, students are constantly experimenting with new and interesting materials, as well as repurposing everyday objects, in their design projects. Student designers were asked to creatively incorporate the theme centered around the silhouette in comparison to the designs overall expressive form. When I heard the topic of the Fashion Schau was silhouette I decided to play up the curves of the body. As people know, landscape Architect is the designer of the earth, as the clothes designer is the designer of the body. There are two pieces and they mimic the angle of the body. The waist is the thinnest part so I made the design exaggerate the idea. For this Fashion Schau I got the second prize.
