Design Statement and Site Analysis
Columbus Innovative Art Museum
To build a museum that celebrates the city’s long engagement with design
Existing Alignment
ISU Architecture 4th Year Studio Work, Columbus Innovative Art Museum, 2012, Columbus, Indiana, USA, Instructor: Rob Whitehead
The Design of Columbus Innovative Art Museum is a response to the Columbus Cultural Foundation’s Soliciting proposals for a new museum dedicated to design for Columbus, Indiana. In order to create a museum environment that integrates the existing urban, cultural context and museum experiences, the museum structure has been aligned to the surrounding building blocks and street grids; The west façade: a continuous double glazed curtain wall, is the main feature of the building. The display-window-like façade demonstrates my design approach of making the museum as a media of “observing and being observed”.

Performing Memories
ISU Apocalyptic Architecture Studio Work, Performing Memories, 2013, Detroit, Michigan, USA, Teamwork with: Xinnan Xu, Instructor: Ziad Qureshi
Architecture of Resistance The amazingly resilient post-industrial city of Detroit has survived and regenerated itself through multiple “apocalyptic� scenarios –inclusive of an ongoing process of general population decline. Through critical research and analysis of prior historic conditions and solutions, combined with an awareness of popular culture and a sensitive engagement of contemporary social and urban issues, we notice that public shared memories represent the identity of a city, and are vital part to keep people united. We intend to bring back public shared memories by creating memorable places combining the past, present and future of the places to initiate more coherent public activities. These places would be connected by different means of network so as to bring in stronger tie.

The Apocalypse & Stategy
The Problem: Social Isolation
Social Isolation
The decline of the city not just leaves behind the decrease in population and abandoned facilities and space, but also results in the lost of the identity of the city but also the public memories.
?
? Expected social networks
A shared public memory is a vital part to keep a city united and vigorous, without which, the bonds between social groups, cooperation between industries, would be weakened; the richness of neighbourhoods would vanish. The compartmentation, fragmentation and homogeneity of the society would be the prelude of the apocalypse.

Strategy: Memorable place making
+ A memorable place that integrates the past, present and future should be made to initiate the coherent events and pulic activities so as to collect shared memories. Means of connections should be utilized not only for places but for industries, economy and neighbourhoods as well. A more flexible, complex and stronger network of public places and activities would bring layers of shared memories, thus awareness of the city would be aroused again.

Reusing the existing vacant structure is part of our place making strategies. By renovating but not demonishing the on site building, a more harmonious gesture is applied. Past memories are overlapped with new programs together with the new functions and events. The existing nodal advantagies of the building is recognized, new means and value have been created.

Michigan Theatre is a media and platform that cooperate with our purpose of integrating the public memories of past, present and future: Past: we retain its original function of performance, facilitate the building with theatre instruments such as projecting devices and stages; Present: we maintain its current usage as a parking garage, both local citizens and visitors can drive in with their cars; Future: we encourage more social activities to happen in this venue, and accordingly recreation programs such as bars, cafe, observation deck and interactive performance platform are proposed.

Brewster-Douglass Housing Projects
Lafayette Park
Eastern Market
Designed by Harley, Ellington & Day between 1935 and 1955, the projects were designated to ”working poor”. The neighbourhood used to have six 14-story apartment towers, two 6-story low-rise blocks that once homed around 10000 people at its peak capacity.
Designed by Mies van der Rohe in1959, the Lafayette Park constitutes the world’s largest collection of buildings. The project has been heatedly discussed and regarded as one of the first example of urban renewal.
In 1891, the Detroit Farmer’s Market was relocated to its present location and renamed Easter Market.
However, due to the poor performance of the Detroit Housing Commission, economic recession and crime issues, the projects eventually fell into disrepair. Two towers were demolished in 2003, and the whole projects were demolished in 2013. The leaders of today’s Detroit suggest that a mixed-use development with transportation to jobs, access to education for children with a mixture of private and public sector investment can help avoid a repeat of eventual failure of Brewster-Douglass.
Performing Memories
The two 22-story apartment towers collaborate with the surounding 13-acre green space making the living community a palce with security and calm in a city that is currently considered the most dangerious in the U.S. The project was designed to house middle-income residents and the property values housing rates still keep high today, which forced many former “working poor” occupants relocated to the nearby Brewster-Douglass housing projects.
The market was declared an historic area in 1977, not just because of its fresh food product, but also because of its existance as a melting pot of rich and poor, old and young, locals and tourists. Today, Eastern Market is still a lively place of the community. People arrive, browse and bargain for what suits their interstes. It is a place with history and memories of color, sound, smell and taste.
