Space frames from the entrance are mostly operable window systems which help passive cooling and ventilation. One environmental aspect of material selection that we considered are recycling brickveneers from various locations in California, which brings aesthetic value to the design. Engineering consultant from KPFF help us understand more about cost decisions from structural options in design. Lastly for the purpose of interpreting a relation of scaffolding to our space frames; a small scale sculpture of the scaffolding was introduced on the entrance of the plaza.

Physics free-body-diagram is playing a big role in the overall geometry of the laboratory. Southwest curtain wall’s blending motion and façade are optimized to minimize heat gain during summer, while northeast curtain wall’s blending motion and façade are optimized to maximize radiation during winter for passive heating.

32 Parti Diagrams The site, siting in one of Dubai’s most developed areas--the business district, Dr. Farr and groups of nine designed highrise systems which reinterpreted the sky-scape language from physical and psychological experience. Our change in the cyber world has been moved from personal computer to artificial intelligence and Internet of Things. Nevertheless, networks of buildings could evolve to include physical and psychological interaction between the architectural users. Parti inspiration included a sequential process of understanding depth and motion from sculptor Benvenuto Cellini and artist Hirohiko Araki, then generating collages to help further explore meaning of space. Sketches and parametric integration were used in my design process of abstraction, functional organization, and structural optimization.

38 JOANNES BROS. 1916 FAÇADE (800 TRACTION AVE.)
John B. Parkinson, an architect built this structure in 1916. It started as a coffee manufacturing company. By using inspiration from the idea of the “Leaves” structure by Renzo Piano’s Menil Collection Museum, I purposefully designed a sustainable system which supports air, lighting, and water to the existing building. The existing building has performed a high level of privacy within their window installations. Perhaps this happened due to the fact that it turned into a studio / apartment building in late 70s. This new façade system will take solar energy and turn it into electrical energy, while absorbing C02 and other toxic chemicals. Now this façade create shallowness on space between brick patterns and install our version of ‘leaves’ and water collected panels to support sunlight, air quality, sustainable energy and resources. Then users’ circulating activity can also provide a visual movement to pedestrians.

43 OTHER WORKS
Semiotic Collage A highly decorated Qing dynasty wood beam (a column from the original image) and a less decorated Tang dynasty roof are syntagmatic signified of the past or ancient Chinese culture, ideology, and architecture. From the ground zero, where represents the upholding of our current time, located a modern metallic column and a stair with wood-framing door support the roof. The paradigm of the roof and beam can be the signified of the past, and anything old may need to be changed. A discontinuation or misconnection between a stair and an entrance, offset to the ground zero. This juxtaposition and action of stepping forward create the signifiers to the historic and cultural past with the modernized present.

(figure 1. Dou Gong occupy big portion of Rem Koolhaas’s book collection “Elements: Roof”)
Improbable Collage Cityscape The reading of Colin Rowe’s “Collage City” and Rem Koolhaas’ “Generic City,” both articles inspired architectural design at various levels. Hypothetically, a current Chinese metropolitan is not all about Central Business District as mentioned in “Generic City.” It can neither be building low-rise that fit the contacts of any rare historic site. ‘Dou Gong / 斗拱,’ can be easily found in architectural documents such as “Yingzao Fash / 營造法式,” Liang Sicheng’s “Chinese Architecture: Art and Artifacts,” and “Japanese Ancient Temples and Shrines Preservation Law.” The structural complexity of a Dou Gong on top of a column help elevate one edge of the shingle-roof. The purpose is to merge columns under the interior functional space. In this vision of a city, the eco-system represents both the environmental and financial economy. By merging the two systems, it keeps the natural environment and historic buildings on the horizon and lifting all “bridges” or civil infrastructures to near sky. This imaginary metropolitan will classify the lowest level of the city cost less due to the separation from the functionality of a financial economy. Now, there is potentially less land competition in between homo-survival system and the natural habitat.
