The project started with creating the prototype with the features of lot formation of the South Los Angeles. By using the area that is mostly uniform in size and shape to create a prototype with its ratio, the prototype can easily fit into the existing typology of the South Los Angeles. It also opens the possibility of easy aggregation of the prototype when it is combined to create different types of unit system. Another interesting context of South Los Angeles was the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) usually situated in the rear alley of a block. The most latest housing act of LA, the ADU feature few things. ADUs in Los Angeles are mostly prefabricated structures and they comprise of less than 50% in the single lot. That sums up to maximum 30~50% in one block community. The project assumes to make a community more vibrant and efficient by proposing prototyped module aggregates to form a different types of communities.

The prototyped modules are assumed to be standardized by International Standards(IS) to be easily scalable and transportable. This assumption is mostly because of the docking conditions. However, within the range of its standard, the private module unit can feature differently based on the individual style of living. These prototype can aggregate and create a different features of community. Also it can be disassembled individually to other lots for different reasons and purposes. The prototype also addresses COVID-19 issues which has changed the lifestyle of people not only in the US but worldwide. The module is combined with a CLT built structure consisting of and distributed with semi-private and shared space. The semi-private space acts as a subsidiary area that is separated with private bedroom. The idea derived from the pandemic situation where people needed an extra space to do something out of quarantine situation. According to the Housing characteristics and staying at home during COVID19 pandemic by Grant Schellenberg, people have worked through zoom or in virtuality in their private area. This is the main reason of creating semi-private space as an additional space complying with the globally affected historical pandemic situation which has lasted for two years. Moreover, it also affected in peoples’ crave for private outdoor space where they need direct access to outdoor air circulation.

Localizing waste management to reduce pollution and cost from regional transportation networks. Allowing public access into infrastructural programs to increase awareness of waste issues, creating a public amenity and anticipating the increased densification of the city, where scarcity of ground-level space will prompt public spaces to continue to stratify. With the purpose of inspiring the user to make a change in their daily routines.

New York generates 14 million tons of garbage per year, or 12,000 tons per day. Most is sent to landfills out of state. A 2009 study shows that burning waste is greener than landfills and generates more energy. Localizing waste management reduces pollution and cost from regional transportation networks as exemplified by WTE facilities in Long Island that serve local jurisdictions. Layering public programs onto infrastructural programs increases awareness of waste issues, creates a public amenity, and anticipates the increased densification of the city, where scarcity of ground-level space will prompt public spaces to continue to stratify. This strategy has been employed in downtown Tokyo where a combined WTE and recreation center has managed to clean 99% of facility emissions.

The Structure Parti The project is started with an idea of having a primary system which holds from the ground and then connects it with the secondary system connected with vectors of the original mass. Introduced “Tree Structure” concept in which the building has a solid base and expands into the branches consisting of floor plates and walls 20

Pratt Institute M.Arch Program Spring 2019 Design 02: Interiorities & Contexts Role: Individual Work Program: Educational Institute & Public Playscape Critic: Eric Schoenenberger
The project goal was to design learning environment specifically focused on investigating interiority and massing. Interiority which is understood and represented as to be empty and furnished after architectural consideration is considered as a mass in this project. Specifically, the project focused interiority as one entire form as well as an exterior massing. The first step was to investigate the poche of the precedents specifically on the interior. Since the project was designing maritime middle school in Red Hook, Brooklyn, the precedent in this project focused on it with the relevant context. It started with investigating the interior of various types of vessels to eventually aggregate them into one single form. The aggregation features massing, circulation, occupancy and space of explorations.
The Inside Out The design studio addresses a specific site through its interior. It emphasizes the related conceptual and material impacts of this “inside out” approach. Circulation and its material and spatial qualities are explored through the design of a small building that responds to a detailed ensemble of architectural programs and the multiple contexts of a local institution. The studio worked with a variety of community-based organizations for the purposes of knowledge exchange, allowing to intimately understand the activities housed in their design proposals. Coordinated in parallel with Architectural Mediums II and Structures II, contemporary structural and representational techniques are explored within the studio introducing students to basic ideas of integration and comprehensive design.
