HI-STORY PLAZA BOONE CITY, IOWA 01
HI-STORY PLAZA DESIGN STATEMENT
BOONE CITY, IA
This is a SMALL SCALE design, which locats in Boone, Iowa. The design intends to combine several elements in it. Firstly, curves in this design break grid boring pattern in Boone, and control the whole space. Secondly, since history of Boone relates to coal, coal-shape pavements represent coal and treate plan shape; I-beam benches represent rails. Besides, four structures enrich elevation in thid design as well. Thirdly, walls with translucent glass is a introduction wall of boone and its history. elements in this design can make this city distinctive, and create a place for relaxation. furthermore, it's a mark of Boone - not only the form of this plaza, but also elements (ideas and materials) used in this space. These factors can make this plaza more prominent. Rail way Roads Site

Chicago, IL
This is a RESIDENTIAL design,which is located in Chicago. It focuses on middle part of the whole site. Concept of the design is ‘Growing City’. In order to make this design unified with Chicago, some features are borrowed from famous buidings, such as Willis Tower and Marina City. Green roof, which is recommended by chicago government, is also one important component in the project. Not only ideas and concepts, but also plan, sections, and perspectives can tell how ‘Growing City’ realizes in this peoject.

ANALYSIS
Vehicles Accessible to The Site 1. Transportation is convenient, but metra is not close to the site. - CARS are MAIN VEHICLES. 2. Senior center, liarary, art center, and hospital are far away from the site. - Resident should INCLUDE THESE FACILITIES. 3. Green spaces are not enough. - Resident should PROVIDE MORE GREEN SPACES.

This is a park design project. The exsiting park is located in a flooding zone, in Ames, Iowa. Also, it is one park of whole river valley park system, which is all along the South Skunk River. The existing park includes five ballfields and more than 200 parking areas. Since 1. the park is one of the park system along the river, the "water" element - flow line and water drop - were used in the proposed design; 2. it is located in the flooding zone, instead of protecting the site from flooding, proposed design was going to import water in order to creat a unique scenery in flooding season.

RIVER VALLEY PARK SYSTEM
Entrance 13TH ST
ENTRANCE
Two ends of the river park system connect Grand Ave & 13th St. They are entrances of the park system. As a result, the site should be an attractive main entraince of the whole park system.
Entrance
North river valley park as one end should include two entrances. One connects outside, and the other links the park system.
According to the image above, even if the site was submerged under the flood water, scenery was unique and beautiful. Therefore, in the proposed design, the flood water was welcome during flooding season.

Bench Design 19
Bench design DESIGN STATEMENT (Team Work)
The bench project must be built out of at least 80% recycled or reclaimed wood and metal, and this proposed bench was made by recycled wood.
Recycled wood cannot be all in ideal sizes.
P ropo se d be nc h can be made by recycled wood with different sizes.
Recycled wood cannot have the same quality. Recycled wood may not be strong enough to support a bench.
P ropo se d be nc h can have more than four legs, and most wood were not load-bearing components.
Inspried by video game: MINECRAFT
I was working on bench design, digital drawings, and bench making. Except four shop drawings, other drawings were all made by myself.
Bench Design
STRUCTURE LOAD-BEARING: Steel Rods (d=0.375")
FIXATION: Round Poplar Dowels (d=0.375" & 0.75")
Two rods supported other 12 perpendicular rods.
Two thin dowels were inserted into thicker dowels. Fraction can replace gel or nails to fix the bench.
Each individual part of the bench was supported by steel rods, and fixed by wood dowels.

Heights of the bench were the same with standards of seat height (about 18 inches) and elbow height (about 25 inches). Therefore, when one perpson uses the bench, the higher (25 inches) part of the bench can be a temporary table.

ATLANTA, GA
DESIGN STATEMENT (Team Work)
Relinking Midtown is a development that reestablishes a clear network of interconnectivity between Uptown and Downtown, Atlanta, as well as Georgia Tech Institute. The development centers around creating connections on a physical and social level through public greenspace, mixed land use development, integrated residential typologies, and job opportunities. Relinking Midtown seeks to achieve connectivity, diversity, density and sustainability.
