Architecture + Light & Water Play As an antecedent to the Aquatic Center project, a short project focusing on water, light and body was assigned to study the relationships and interesting dialectics that could be created from them. The investigation of different sites of water and lighting as well as light models were recorded at different times of the day. The recordings were then selected to compose composite drawings to visualize a space that reflect the relationships and dialectics. For further experiment, they were transposed onto the site of the Aquatic Center project.

EDGEWOOD

Aquatic Center Year Three. Professor Akins. Aqua Community Center will be sited in SE Atlanta, south of Grant Park, Zoo Atlanta and along the Beltline. Within this context there is a mixture of residential, public park space, creek that flows from SE direction. The aqua community center will become an interest to many new homeowners and community developers. The design will serve the community by introducing two swimming pools (competition and recreational), theater, laboratory and retention pond. The site will expose its natural landscape features, an exposed creek and filtration plant and the programs will be organized in a NW direction to blend with the direction of the existing chemical science building and filtration creek. Heavier duty programs mainly including the auditorium and swimming pools will be massed together and entertainment and retention pond facilities will be separated to encourage more outdoor activities. Within the design there are retaining walls that gradually die into the earth, giving visitors interesting experiences through the usage of light and water. The walls become a device for circulation dividers, structure, and shading.

Physical Model


The structural walls will become a source of an object that is tangible to the users experiencing the Aquatic Center. People will be able to walk next to and over the wall as well as observe the changes that occur throughout the site in different seasons, depending on how the walls interact with the earth, water and light. To support a large cantilevering pool, glue lam, with the use of flitch beam, is used. Within the design there are retaining walls that gradually die into the earth, giving visitors interesting experiences through the usage of light and water. The walls become a device for circulation division, structure, and shading. Entertainment areas such as restaurants, bars, and social event rooms are spread out on the site in juxtaposition to the water garden for pleasurable views and interactions.

MICROCIRCULATION

Therapeutic Resort Center. Professional Work. Schematic Design. The project is a further expansion to the existing Microcirculation Therapy Centers that are located in Indonesia and Hong Kong. The new therapy resort center will be located in south eastern part of Henan, China which will be a facility center that consist of many outdoor activity spaces in addition to the main hospital body. With the area developing at a very fast rate with high density in Henan, it is an attractive spot to tourists as well as to residents and workers. Microcirculation Center will treat many patients with heart problems, drug addiction and aging issues. The resort center does not only treat patients but provide facilities that guide them to maintain wellness and healthy lifestyle. The therapy center is about bringing out the natural, healthy, clean, and restoring sentiments.

Choosing Farmland

Strips of Farmland

Segmenting and Stepping

Taking advantage of the existing site condition and features was the main design approach. The leisurely open land along the river provides excellent views of nature and makes the project more affordable without having to excavate the land.

Land for Exercising and Pavilions

Placement of Pavilions and Bungalows


Stepping Farmland The purpose of stepped landscape is to accommodate the physical needs of elderly patients and those with disability. Plants will be planted on land according to the height of their maximum growth; the taller plants will be planted along lower steps, shorter plants will be planted on taller, elevated steps to prevent overly strenuous farming activity.

Outdoor Pavilions & Bungalows The simple arrangement of pavilions will mainly provide exercising facilities such as for walking, jogging, biking, fishing, and playground for adults. Bungalows will also be situated for patients to stay while healing. Its close accessibility to these facilities will encourage them to enjoy outdoor spaces as well as for exercising.

23

Bridging (hospital & indoor facilities) The bridge will contain the primary indoor facilities such as hospital rooms, lounge, physio & gym, spa, indoor swimming facilities and rooms for conference, consultation, dietitian. It will bridge the outdoor pavilions and bungalows to the farmlands so the users of the bridge has easy access to the outdoor spaces.

PEACHTREE CORRIDOR Street Design, Development, Accessibility Year Four. Group Project. Professor Green.

Brookwood is located on the periphery of the core of Atlanta. The neighborhood sits between the major urban growth poles of Buckhead to the north and Midtown to the south. The Brookwood Alliance is comprised of the four neighborhoods of Ardmore Park, Brookwood Hills, Collier Hills and Collier Hills North combined with the commercial corridor of Peachtree Road. Peachtree Road serves as the spine of the community and acts as the major north-south point of access. On either side of this spine, the Alliance neighborhoods consist predominantly of single-family detached homes along with low rise multifamily developments. Peachtree is characterized by low to high rise office buildings interspersed with single story retail. The neighborhood experiences a large volume of vehicular traffic throughout the day, driven by large visitor and employment attractors and a lack of access infrastructure in the area. With few roads capable of distributing traffic, it ends up funneling down quiet residential streets. Land values in both Midtown and Buckhead have risen substantially over the last decade, putting serious development pressure on the Brookwood neighborhood. The recent economic downturn is seen as an opportunity to better define the future of the neighborhood. Our group was charged with engaging the community in their pursuit of a coherent vision of the future of their neighborhood. The intent is to take this vision and arm the community with a set of design strategies that can be used in implementing this vision.

Peachtree Road is characterized predominantly by six lanes of high speed, motorized traffic. This character has degraded the street’s ability to adequately serve the needs of the local community. Rather than establishing a coherent framework for development to adhere to, Peachtree has seemingly repelled street-oriented development along its length. The street serves the needs of regional drivers at the cost of local users. It is a street battling for an identity, despite being bestowed with the most well know street names in the city. Problem: The existing Right of Way on Peachtree Street/Road is 80 feet wide. It consists of six car lanes and a sidewalk on each side. There is no buffer between the fast moving traffic and pedestrians, as well as no bicycle infrastructure or any type of vegetation.

Goals: Design a street that accommodates the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users as well as drivers. Design a street that fosters the development of successful neighborhood-oriented retail. Design the public realm so that it can be implemented today but easily adapted to realize the ideal street in the future.

Street Design Based on public surveys and meetings, an ideal streetscape was designed to be applied to the whole corridor. It includes wide sidewalks, off-street bike lanes, tree planting strips, onstreet parking, and a median with designated left turn lanes. The proposed right-of-way is 120 feet wide. After overlaying the 120 foot ROW over the existing Peachtree corridor, conflicts were found with some existing buildings. A strategy was developed to solve these conflicts until future development could allow the full realization of the ideal streetscape. A 70 foot section of the street was set as constant, providing for the median/left turn lane and four total travel lanes. Also considered non negotiable were minimum 5 foot sidewalk widths and the provision of bicycle infrastructure--either on or offstreet. Other elements of the streetscape were deemed flexible and could be sacrificed in areas where existing buildings prevented the realization of the ideal street. 28


The 120 foot ideal streetscape 60/60 ft. Streetscape

The first variable in the narrowing streetscape strategy: Sidewalk widths in excess of 5 feet. Sidewalks can be added along with redevelopment the most easily of all elements. 60/60 ft. Streetscape - 50/50 ft Streetscape

The 100 foot streetscape to be implemented where needed 50/50 ft. Streetscape

The second variable in the narrowing streetscape strategy: Off- street bicycle paths shift to on-street bicycle lanes. Parallel parking is removed to make way for the bicycle lanes. A 5 foot striped buffer is retained for bicycle safety.

50/50 ft. Streetscape - 45/45 ft Streetscape

The 90 foot streetscape to be implemented where needed 45/45 ft. Streetscape

The third variable in the narrowing streetscape strategy: Street tree planting strips. 29

Loud concerns have been raised over an appropriate transition from the high activity, high density Peachtree corridor into the lower density, quiet residential neighborhoods. This stark juxtaposition has also given rise to concern over the form of development along Peachtree street. Brookwood has a character not unlike many neighborhoods that sit peripheral to urban cores along major arterial streets. Existing development rights combined with the pressure of urban growth has led to a precarious situation where neighborhood residents are worried about future redevelopment rather than excited by the benefits it will bring. We aimed at exploring future scenarios where the corridor developed into a truly urban place while be respectful of a low density residential context. Goals: Our strategy strives to satisfy the needs of developers and residents of Brookwood alliance. In order to implement the concepts derived from the precedents and to retain the existing FAR to maintain development rights we came up with a unique solution to the regulation of development which reinforces the vision of an urban oasis. Current Building Height Regulation Existing height plane regulations can be ineffective at regulating height adjacent to single family development. Currently the same height regulation is applied regardless of adjacent residential context and they do not address exposure to light and air along Peachtree Road. The height plane regulations are regulated by the depth of the parcel rather than through some type of comprehensive height plan. Solution: Development Prototypes Brookwood Development Regulations include Single-Family Protection Zone, Vertical Development Zones 1 & II. Single-Family Protection Zone is applicable to any parcel, or portion of a parcel that is zoned commercial. Single-Family Protection Zone measures parallel from the minimum rear setback line, extending an additional 100 feet into the parcel. The minimum rear setback is 40 feet, 20 feet of which is required to be a planted buffer. There is a maximum building height of 38 feet under this regulation.

34

Vertical Development Zone I applies to all commercially zoned parcels adjacent to a “Single Family Protection Zone.” The setbacks of this zone is measured from the center line of Peachtree Street. It sets appropriate maximum and minimum height to the bases and pedestals. To establish a constant street wall, the ground floor is to be built to side property lines. This regulations also deals with providing easy access and reducing visual impact of parking decks that face residentially zoned properties. Vertical Development Zone II is applicable to a “Low Density Protection Zone.” Like that of VDZI all setbacks are measured from the center line of Peachtree Street and all active uses are required along all ground floor levels adjacent to the public streets. It establishes a constant street wall, provide easy access and reduce visual impact of parking decks facing residentially zoned properties. Maximum and minimum height is set to the bases and pedestals. The maximum height will be higher than that of VDZI because of the area’s potential to grow more in density.

Vertical development atop a building base. For appropriate development and to maintain existing FAR along Peachtree Corridor we decided to use vertical development on base to meet the goals. As of now the buildings are lower in height but wide which block light and air from reaching Peachtree Street and single-family homes. By making the vertical development taller and slender, it will acquire the same realizable square footage but decrease building mass relative to Peachtree Street and single-family homes. Height and width of the vertical developments are a trade off for this design evolution.

ACCESSIBILITY Based on Survey Results, Meeting Discussions and Site Evidence, we have determined that overall Brookwood has poor accessibility. Traffic is not effectively managed by the existing infrastructure and it will be difficult for the existing infrastructure to accommodate future development. The quality of the pedestrian environment is low thus discouraging the viability of walking. Also, few households can reach desirable destinations in a short walk. There is poor overall vehicular connectivity, leading to increased congestion on Peachtree Road and on neighborhood streets. Finally, access to mass transit is poor, providing no viable alternative for commuting. Problem Accessibility can be increased in three ways: By increasing the capacity of the existing network, by increasing the amount of connectivity in the existing network, or by adding alternative means of transport other than driving. As we have seen, the street design strategy provides for the addition of a transit corridor running down Peachtree Road in the future. The addition of the Beltline will also add the ability to shift trips away from driving. This section is focused on identifying and categorizing potential future connections should the opportunity arise to make them a reality. Goals: Design Peachtree Street to accommodate transit if desired in the future. Create a database to track all proposed improvements to pedestrian and vehicular street infrastructure. Explore all possible options for improvements in neighborhood accessibility.

TRACE, RECREATE, STRING Installation. Year Four. Professor Dessault.

44

Because Georgia Tech is highly focused on engineering, a discipline researched and studied to achieve complex understanding of science and order, I wanted to provide an escape and opportunity for viewers to create different perspective of these systems of order. The site that I have studied has one hundred and twelve patents displayed that present the Mechanical Engineering departments’ achievements on devices and theories. I represented a contrasting image of the patent, that is displayed on the wall to complete my installation. I took rubbings of the patent plaques, then used sketch pencil to trace the mechanical drawing and reinterpret them as organic forms. To draw a connection between the drawings and patents I strung each drawing to the original patent it was created from. The overlapping and stretching of countless number of strings created an intriguing space.

OCONEE RIVER

Environmental Resource Center. Year Three. Professor Kean. The Oconee River site mainly consists of trees on land and a body of water. The harsh soil is unfriendly for the pedestrians of the site. In order to alleviate this matter and to make a smoother transition between these different forces of nature, a concrete pavement was planted. The pavement will gently slope into the shoreline of the river and continue to extend upward into the earth in different rays. Within this arrangement four building blocks, each containing of different program, will sit. The four building blocks will also has different interaction with the earth and water. First block, an exhibition center, will partially sink; second block, conference/cafeteria will have an access to the outdoor activity along the shoreline; third block, a production resource room will slope upwards from the first floor level to make a green, walkable roof. The fourth block, studio rooms for scientist and artist will be pulled closer to the body of water from the rest of the blocks and elevated for privacy.

The rays of concrete walkway continues to act as a mediator and make the transition experience between the river, earth and buildings smoother. The rays of sloping concrete walkway continues from the shore of the river and towards the east of site, connecting to the street network of the site.

The study models are showing the process of how the topography of the site was implemented in finalization of the design.
