Looking directly adjacent to the historic mansion, we called upon the gabled roof typology to start to sculpt the large masses as well as accounting for solar orientation and prevailing winter/summer winds. These drastically peaked roofs began to divide the units as if the roof were the interior walls themselves.

Left: Vehicle circulation on ground floor Right: Pedestrian access to the complex Energy and Sun Model
Site Context The project site is a very important one because of its node-like location in between Downtown and East Detroit, and its position at the entrance to the popular Belle Isle. The framework of the plan includes expanded parks and green open space, green ways, streets capes, and various property developments. Our project is an extension of this development and aims to achieve the same components by adding new dedicated bike lanes to connect to the new Beltline Green way, as well as a public elevated green space to overlook Belle Isle.

Our project is classified under Type IV Construction, with using CLT as the heavy timber requirement for the roof, floor, and interior bearing walls, while the exterior walls consist of a 2-hour noncombustible assembly. CLT was chosen by our team because of its ability to seclude carbon, its renewability as a material, its aesthetic as an exposed structure, as well as it’s lightweight. Our walkable valley will operate on a separate structural system of two-plate concrete and 16” x 16” square concrete columns. This is due to its heavy dead load of earth, water, and snow, and unpredictable live load of pedestrians.

The very construction of The Valley eludes to our environmental strategy. Cross-laminated timber is a renewable material and the specs will call for cradle-to-cradle certified lumber as well as sourcing from a manufacturer no more than 700 miles from the project site. The face brick that is covering all the exterior walls will be reused brick from the existing site if possible, or sourced from a manufacturer who sells recycled bricks. Our environmental systems will be taking full advantage of our steep gabled roof by collecting rainwater through an integrated roof drainage system. This rainwater will then be pumped to an underground water storage tank, which will then be used as needed for our radiant floor heating/cooling system as well as plumbing fixtures.

Experienced record low in 2012, the surface elevation of Lake Michigan and Huron has risen over 3 feet since then. Meanwhile, the last 5 years have also been historically the wettest in the region. Integrated with population research from phase 1, we reasoned that residents in different scales of coastal settlements react differently to this climate change trend. We zoomed into upper st Lawrence river because we are interested in exploring an unproven site. In addition,the chart at bottom right reveals a positive correlation between the water level increment and the damage to coastal infrastructure. 178.0

Upper: Study of Incremental water level Lower: Water-relevant Design Strategies
Echoing previous research, we speculate that the dams would eventually show signs of failure due to the inability to regulate waters in Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River; the joint decision by Canada & the USA to eventually decommission the dams would be inevitable. An extrapolation of the flood levels in our last decade over the next 100 years has revealed a dramatic increase in water levels 2120. Additionally, contemporary evidence indicates that no regulation plan could mitigate any of the floods while the dams could no longer regularize the floods happening in Lake Ontario. Map of Pre-existing water-related infrastucture
- Moses-Saunders Power Dam The dam created Lake St. Lawrence and is part of a larger project called the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
- Long sault Dam
- Eisenhower Tower
The dam supplies water to two adjacent power stations. Aside from providing significant amounts of renewable power, the dam regulates the St. Lawrence River and affords passage for the navigation of large vessels.
The Eisenhower locks are part of a system of locks along the st. Lawrence Seaway used to raise and lower shifts from the Atlantic Ocean to the level of the Great. Lakes. built and opened officially in 1959
- Iroquois Dam The Eisenhower locks are part of a system of locks along the st. Lawrence Seaway used to raise and lower shifts from the Atlantic Ocean to the level of the Great.
In our final phase, we are examining the portion of St’ Lawrence river that straddles along Quebec, Montreal and New York, right at the heart of Long Sault dam, and Moses Saunders Dam. We have zoomed into three zones on site for analysis, as each of them reflect the emerging citizen’s attitude and softer cohabitation strategies in response to adverse climatic changes. The fictional narration of our citizenship is defined by the shared solidarity of the citizens who chose to remain and adapt to the geopolitical and climatic changes along St. Lawrence River. Opposing this would be the camp that can be characterized as those who chose to Retreat (repel, resist).
2030 - Existing bridge flooded
2030 - Hazards to the bridge
2060 - Existing bridge flooded
2090 - New infrastructure established
2120 - Extensive adaption to worse climate change
The catalog mainly consists of the people who are on-the-water, like the fisherman and the carrier, the related industries to serve their activities, the people currently working for the dam, and the people from the indigenous reservation in that area. We are speculating the transition in the roles of these groups of people.. The people in the remaining group are basically divided into 3 departments: the fishing group, which is the most important industry in the region as the decommission of the dam enriches the local aquaculture; the service group, who runs the living related industries like restaurants, schools, and the fishing equipment stores; the third group are about the maintaining the infrastructure as well as daily detect the dam decommissioning influences.
Structure Evolution of the habitants on Site
Site 1: Incremental Cohabitation In the face of unprecedented floods, the design speculates the transformation of a completed flooded city of Cornwall, Ontario. The plan provides flood resilience and an urban framework for communities of the remains to build incrementally and progressively. The dikes are designed in a grid formation that branches in its connective network. Through an active system of livable and navigable basins, communities could construct their livelihoods through cohabitation strategies with water, such as floating agriculture islands, constructed wetlands, amphibious houses, and boat transportation systems

Left: Transportation system detail Right: Location at site
Site 2: Akwesasne Eco-tourism Landing themselves on the regional spotlight in the 22nd century, the Akwesasne region has emerged as a popular destination to many population migrants and travelers for its unique lifestyle and landscape. Communities are connected by a series of footbridges that further extend into the river as a bay. The map consists of a range of touristic activities organized by the Akwesasne indigenous population, such as entertainment leisure, food businesses, and water sports activities. As the water level changes dramatically, the port is constructed to allow boats to hang vertically and adjust to different water levels.

The Big Bend Oiio Studio New York, Proposed Kuala Lumpur Signature Tower
Earlier apartments weren’t technically supported to elevate as high from the ground as later commercial buildings. However, as nowadays transportation has been greatly developed, it is in general feasible to propose much higher residential buildings. Hypothetically, if something could be designed to stuff the empty yet expendable space upon existing lower buildings, it shall profoundly solve the shortage of popular metropolitan land.

A Sequenced House - Lakeside Pavilion Light-material-concentrated architectural studio - Critic: Kris Mun Given the project prompt to consider about a possibly light material system to build such a resort, I started from contemplating the definition of ‘Being Light”. A light structure is one done with minimal elements and therefore requires high-standard geometrical rationality.
Lounge on the top level
Staircase structure on in the center of the building
Starting with an ordinary 90 degree wood angle, towering to possibly highest level, as shown in the diagram above, this ‘natural’ structure governs the constitution of the entire building and implies potential spatial unique quality.
