CHOCOLATE X HOUSING

August - December, 2021 Academic Project, Integrated Studio, CED UC Berkeley Supervisor: Simon Schleicher Type: Group Work

An old parking garage in the middle of city center, is to be given a new life. Although the building from the 1920s has aged gracefully and is a real gem with ornately decorated facade, it has long since lost its usefulness. This studio calls for a design that transforms the existing three floors of the garage to be a bright and airy chocolate factory for a small-batch bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker, with the ability to offer factory tours and special dinning experience. In addition to the use of chocolate factory, the new building will be expanded on the floors above with a cost-effective addtion of prefabricated wood elements to create much-needed housing units.

Shifted Balcony is typicalled above two old facades seperately by Taylor and Post St, where every other floor has a balcony in the same location to keep privacy. The balconys therefore also contribute to the shifted pattern of new facade. Corner Window without mullion brings better outside views for residents. A customized piece of furniture placed in the corner provides a space for leisure. 07

Transfer Floor consisting of steel trusses is in between the chocolate factory and housing because of their different layouts of column grid. Meanwhile, the space between truss members allows MEP ductwork passing through. Shafts next to the circulation cores are seperately for air sucking in and blowing out, while bathroom shafts are both also for water plumbing. Circulation Cores in yellow are one for chocolate factory customers and another one for production area. 10


Lightwell & Linear Window is adopted in the massing as the strategy of lighting as well as natural ventilation, which benefits the salon and residential units surrounding the lightwell. 11

MUMBAI RESIDENCE

January - May, 2020 Academic Project, Development & Design Studio, CED UC Berkeley Supervisor: Mark Anderson, Harsh Jain, Eric Harrison Type: Group Work

This is a real project (phase ii) sponsored by the Godrej firm, one of India’s largest and experienced development companies. A well-integrated proposal coordinating three essential componets is to be produced—an overall urban masterplan design for a new extension of a recently built neighborhood; a specificc individual building design for a mixed-used housing structure within the masterplan; and detailed financial studies and development proposal documents realistically projecting the project costs and investment potentials. Architecture students and Real Estate Development Students are grouped to work out a design solution that can be measured and presented of its practicality for construction and positive investment profitability.

Vertical Green Flow in iconic residence is shaped by rotating two-floorplate group with even numbers around point A and those with odd numbers around point B. It functions as outdoor gardens on every two floors with entertainment facility equipped. 19

Green Spine from outside is extended into the interior and ends in the center on the ground floor. The indoor plaza is both shared by residents and visitors. 21


Shared Open Space exists in many forms inside the iconic residence, for instance, the seating area on every floor, the bridge and the central lightwell. 22

PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

January - May, 2020 Academic Project, Structure Lecture, CED UC Berkeley Supervisor: R. Gary Black Type: Group Work

Opposite the west end of Bancroft Way lies an old footbridge above the highway. A new pedestrain bridge is proposed to not only occupy the same place as the old one, but also stretch across the water and lands at the end of Bancroft Way. Architecture wise, the new bridge should allow for multiple modes of sefl-propelled transpor tation such as bicycles, wheelchairs etc. Structure wise, a total load (including dead and live load) of 100PSF is given to be applied onto the bridge for structural analysis and optimisation. L-Shape is taken as the design language, where the deck and tower shape consist of two “L”s. For deck, L’s two arms connect different points on both banks.

SWIMMING POOL

January - May, 2019 Academic Project, Environment Lecture, CED UC Berkeley Supervisor: Luisa Caldas Type: Group Work

Built on a series of environmental simulation and analysis—climate and site, daylighting, thermal and whole building energy, a swimming pool with satisfying indoor environmental quality is to be designed. The site is located at 728 20th Street in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. It is required that the swimming pool has a footprint of 25x40m, while the height of the building is variable. The focus of this project is the roof deisgn and shading methods of four sides. As real projects take strategies of natural ventilation and daylighting seriously, the final design proposal has undergone several iterations based on the results of Diva and RhinoCFD.

TENT X STAGE

June - July, 2017 Competition Entry, Installation Design for Sziget Musical Festival Supervisor: Yun Lu Type: Individual Work

35


Two-uses is the feature of this proposal for Sziget Musical Festival. In the daytime, the membrane installation is used as a rest area with the wavy chair, while it becomes a mini-stage with a halo light at night. 36


Peaks & valleys relatively indicate the highest and lowest point of a tent. The adjacent edge is always the “valley” to keep individuality and privacy of each tent where people can hardly bow down to get through. 37


Different activities can happen synchronously in the tents of different themes, and people can easily visit different tents by entering at the point that allows their heights or bowing down to get through. 38

Now think of the hacted lines existing spatially in a cubic frame with ends evenly distributed on each edge and are retractable. Once apply forces onto the edge, the unstable Lines will be shaped into a certain state to show the influence of the force. 47
