PROJECT 1
ARPENT PARK Baton Rouge | 2014
ARPENT PARK
ARPENT SYSTEM
1st generation
2nd generation
The levee system along the Mississippi River protects people from the flood but also prevents them from accessing waterfront area. The Arpent Park in downtown Baton Rouge attempts to break the contemporary megastructure and connect urban to the waterfront in both experiential and cultural way. The concept of the park is base on the Arpent system, which is the French land subdivision system once used in Baton Rouge. Arpent system divides the land by the extending lines which perpendicular to the river bank. With time went by, the land will be distributed evenly into long strips and gave to the owner’s offspring, but the connection to the waterfront is kept. Later on, the United States purchased Louisiana from French and the land subdivision strategy changed. In one hand, the plan pattern represents the historical transformation of land pattern in this area. In the other hand, the program of the park inherits the program of the plantation which is from the riverfront to the house on the highland, and gradually descend to plantation and backswamp. The levee will stand still to protect people from water hazards, but the landscape design with culture and experience content will lead people to go beyond the artificial concrete structure then reconnect to the waterfront.

The project site is located at Valenzuela City at North of Manila Metropolitan area which is the capital city of Philippines. This area is suffering from Typhoon, flooding, land subsidence, trash pollution, sea level rise, and saltwater intrusion. The objective of the competition is to promote preventive holistic design paradigms that engender the physical, cultural and social resiliencies of Asian communities in light of natural disasters. The intention of the design scheme is to, in one way, implement stormwater management strategies to mediate the hydrologic problems and recharge the underground aquifer. In the other way, a large amount of trashes on the site will be collected, cleaned, and processed as the ground-fill to rise the land which encounters with the dynamically raising sea level. What’s more, community centers and new housing projects will be built to serve the residents.

The project site is a linear strip between the major roads which is known as Neutral Ground and located in downtown New Orleans. With the highly diverse urban situation of the site, the Urban Alchemy is proposed as the concept to reorganize the in-between space. The New Orleans is enduring a depression on the economy. And the Katharina not only unveiled the city’s inability in physical structure but left the social problem unsolved – the trouble in integrating the public cross the line of race and class to achieve a place of common good. The Urban Alchemy utilizes the living process of transmutation and combination of the different elements (history, culture, public life, and recreation) which keep on going changing on the site to make a mixed space. In this progress, the idea of spiritual involvement of people is required to achieve personal improvement. And the goal to make a panacea (which is the pill to cure any disease) for New Orleans is translated into the overall goal to bring people of different color and class together and break the lines to make a common good. Beyond the abstractive elements, the recipe of the alchemy also contains the spatial framework of mobility and public spaces.

SITE ANALYSIS
The north part of the site is dominated by culture and historical destinations which include African American and French culture. The bike lane on this area connects to Laffite Greenway. At middle part is a public-house community named Iberville which is ongoing the rebuilding process after Katharina. Next to that is the medical district with hospital institutions and universities. The CBD, Civic Center, sports fields, and Warehouse District locates at the south of site were developed in the 1960s. From the 1980s, the Warehouse district was renovated for art and commercial uses.

PROJECT 4
CROSS-CRUZAR San Diego-Tijuana | 2018
CROSS-CRUZAR A reform strategy is proposed to improve the existing border which is facing humanitarian and environmental crisis. The space now between the two fences on the border is a Buffer Zone that protects both countries from the impact of the other side. But it also increases the impermeability of the border and isolates the two countries. To change the Edge Effect in a positive way, the buffer zone needs to be transferred to a neutral ground that welcomes the entrance of citizens and immigrants and provides the ground for interfacing. The communication among individuals can enhance the understanding of each other and release the fears of the stranger neighbors. Edges between the program thresholds in the neutral ground will stimulate the thought exchange between diverse groups of people. Moreover, the project will be a conjunction of architecture and landscape. All the edges and patterns will be considered and finally achieve an integrated harmony in the neutral ground. It should accommodate the sustainable design strategies to use natural lighting, clean energy, and water recycling systems. The material will be selected to be economical, environmental-friendly and responsive to dynamic circumstances. The building impact on the existing fragile ecosystem will be minimized. Overall, the neutral ground will mediate the separation of the two countries and embrace the positive Edge Effect. It will open to both sides for reunion and celebration, and form cross-border citizenship, coexistence, interrelationships, humanization, and understanding.

WATER SYSTEM
ENERGY SYSTEM GREYWATER SYSTEM
BLACKWATER SYSTEM
The major environmental system of the Cross-Cruzar consist of energy GREYWATER SYSTEM and water. Because of the climate, the building uses passive heating BLACKWATER SYSTEM and cooling as well as a natural ventilation system. The only exception is the Assembly 2, which is below grade with the occupant load of 200, so two exhaust fans are installed to assist air flow. With the installation of only one elevator and minimal lighting, the building’s energy system benefits from the abundant solar radiation in San Diego. The solar panels can fulfill the energy requirement for the building. Additionally, the extra electricity can be used to desalinate the seawater, which will meet the water usage in this building. The greywater and rainwater will be collected and treated in the constructed wetlands on site. Due to the scale and economic factors, the blackwater cannot be processed on this project. They will be stored and processed in a septic tank system under the toilet. Nonetheless, composting toilets are installed in Threshold 1 to decrease the wastewater.
