The Crystal Eye Of The City Vancouver City Concert Hall

Typology Site Date

Large Scale Public Using Granville Island, Vancouver, Cananda Spring, 2017

Project Information

Design Concept

The Vancouver City Music Concert Hall is the biggest Music Venue and sightseeing building with multiple functional entertainments in Granville island. This new building serves for future of diverse art performances in terms of the city redefining itself as the sustainably musical heaven of Vancouver City. The whole building has three floors: the main concert hall, Johnson Hall has two floors up to the top and fit 780 people in, Jaquelin Hall has single floor with 400 seats. The second floor is communal space for celebrating and interacting that are portable to shape different sizes for diverse groups bringing big events; conference rooms are multi-functional for different events that are welcoming to all.

The building heavily uses glazing as facades and emphasis on acoustics and daylighting which may cause energy crisis. Hence, glazing material choice is the initial to overcome. Whole building is wrapped by Double Pane Low-E Coating to keep aesthetics which combines the advantages of reduced U-Value, SHGC and reflection and maintain high ratio of transmitting to approach green building achievement.

The Goal

A Tale Of Two Cities Master Plan With Museum Project Of San Juan

Project Information

Design Concept

Typology Site Date

The intent of this project is to explore creative design solutions in a complex historical, social and climatological context and to pursue the understanding of the multiplicity of cultural and material factors that informs architecture and urbanism of San Juan. The Master Plans focus on the social, spatial and physical relationship between two very distinct yet adjacent urban settlements, those of the highly structured Old San Juan’s Spanish Colonial urban fabric and architecture; with that of La Perla’s informal, spontaneous, vernacular urban fabric and construction.

The whole project is based on design principles, historical preservation guidelines and regulations, building typologies, relation between private and public spaces and construction methods and materials in relation to local resources and cultural, economic, social and climatic conditions.

Rowing In The Boat The University Boathouse In Oregon

Typology

Boathouse Facility And Research Center

Site

Dexter, OR, US

Date

Spring, 2016

Project Information

Design Concept

The boathouse offering a close connection to the water and expansive views of Oregon foothills to the south. T he boathouse will be used by three separate organizations including: The University of Oregon Club Crew Team, Oregon Associate of Rowers and the South Eugene Rowing Club. Due to the separate organizational use of the building, the space incorporates a multitude of different types of spaces. These spaces include places of academia, lounging, communal gathering, working out and most important boat storage, as it takes up more than 18, 000 of the 26,000 sqft

Along with aiming to seamlessly to incorporate the program into a defined building, the project aims to highlight the relationship between a build form and its landscape. It does so by integrating the slope of the site into the building, through a sloping, continuous roof that provides an occupiable rooftop park and public space. The main concept is to focus on how we look for a more synergized architecture through using combinations of different, yet positive architectural design.

Project Information

Design Concept

This project is about constructing a deployable bridge to connect a house for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids on the cliff. To design a sculptural piece of kinetic architecture that not only adds to the aesthetic of the house, but also safe and simple to deploy. Summer villa owned by a successful entrepreneur and located in a remote forest is well-decorated both internally and externally.

Safety railing will be present to prevent access while the bridge is being deployed and only opened when the bridge is fully deployed and secured to the cliff. Bridge can only be retracted when the guard rails are fully secure with following the international railing code: infill load test, uniform load test, concentrated load test and a safety factor of 2.5. Engineering criteria are able to withstand 100 psf of load and sufficient load combination as referred to in the pedestrian bridge design standard. Mechanical hand crank system is operable from both sides.

Project Information

Design Concept

The design concept branches out to two important parts, people and place. This natural site will host visitors to come and hike around the site, and this is a great opportunity for people to engage with the environment and learn more about climate change from learning center. This goal is that elaborated in the design by which people would experience different atmospheres throughout their journey, starting from the exhibition space, up to the wind tower, down to the micro habitat/wetland, and out into the trail.

From entering in and out of the site, it takes a person out of reality, and to focus on the micro elements on the site become noticeable. Here is a strong gesture that the site wants to be from the place instead of a foreign architecture. The program allows the general public to explore more than just the site and also allows research to be conducted by various functions provided. It’s is a great way for the community to learn the natural environment and danger that would be faced by climate change.

The Marketplace

Business Startup

The Network The Marketplace not only serves as a standalone element, but will also establish the basis for a long term solution. The success of these hubs will spur growth further into the city and will address the issues of “forgotten� space in Amman. As more resources become available, and as refugees begin to establish themselves in the community and workforce, support nodes will be networked further into the city. Again, making use of the city’s abandoned buildings, these nodes will house supportive services to the development hubs in the form of startup spaces, employment information/aid, additional housing, workshops, etc.

These nodes will allow refugees the opportunity to better integrate themselves into new parts of the city, as well as provide an additional point of contact for others. Again, as more resources become available and the need remains, additional hubs will be established throughout the city with the same ability to form a new piece of the network. Ultimately this network of development hubs and support nodes will integrate organically into the fabric of the city allowing for increased opportunities of collaboration between refugees and native citizens

N e tw o

As the refugees become more independent and as resources become more available, new nodes will be renovated to extend the reach of the Marketplace and to the city.

These smaller nodes will contain business start-up space, employment information centers, and housing.

A

.

As the network grows, new Marketplaces will be constructed to service the growing network throughout the city.

When the network develops, a transit system can be developed to service the network.

Service Node

This network of Marketplaces and support nodes will bring economic stability throughout the city through the integration of refugees into the local workforce.

The adaptive reuse of abandoned buildings not only provides spaces for the marketplaces to flourish but gives valuable infrastructure back to the city for future use long after the refugee crises ends.
