Program Living Space, Lobby, Kitchen, Balcony Introduction The project is interested in designing an alternative division between the individual and collective.
30-35 Persons
1 Community
By apportioning each bedroom unit a similar area within a range but allow the protruding face of the form to determine the eccentricity of the plan, each unit is unique. Because of the limitation imposed by microhousing, residents cannot condition their private spaces with material possessions. Therefore, the individuality of the physical space becomes foregrounded.
We divided the act of sleeping and bathing from all other components of a typical cellular unit. The kitchen, dining, study, laundry, and casual spaces are all shared amongst the multiple residents. As a result, we create a fluctuating definition of a “unit,” starting with the single room, to a floor shared by 4-5 people, pairs of floors accommodating 8-10 people, to a larger community of 30+ residents that share balconies and free-planned spaces. With each increase in scale, the average square foot “owned” by any resident increases, creating a connection between the quality of living and the necessity for collective negotiation.

Location Houston Site Area 360,000 square foot Program Research Center, Theatre, Retail, Living Area, Educational Center, Resturant Introduction This project is intended to explore the relationship of subtle formal changes with movement and program distribution.
· Stide is the circulation condition that the project located in the site. It’s the most common form in our whole site. I move the location of these objects and introduce a new object to create new relationship. · The Stroll condition. People cannot go to somewhere straightly, but with more turns. However, all of the roads are still continuous, people just need to spend a little bit more time walking around these volumes. · Then the Wander condition. It creates new type of space for people to stop and talk, which is like a lobby in the middle of walkways. · The Linger condition. It creates a dead end space for people to stop and creates a semi-open garden for people to have. · The Pause condition. It’s a closed space surrounded by buildings. It’s a space which is in the building and creates a courtyard.

The circulation in the project is not just a place for people to move but a moving place for people to stay. The view is related with the circulation and establishes the relationship with the site by view and the location of the people. The inside swirling circulation sews all the floor together to build the continuous experiences for people and at the same time, to build the visual relationshi with Rosario. Views and openings are guides for people who are inside the navigation center, and at the same time, a window to attarct people.

Fast Side
When people live in a city, there are always two different speeds of life. One is the fast speed, like life in Manhattan, which means more convenient transportation, stronger conncetion and more communication with each other. The other is the slow speed of life, which means more privacy, weaker connection with each other, and more pedestrian. The purpose of this project is to seperate this two opposite life styles since if they are put together, they’ll intervene with each other, but at the same time, I want to create common and public areas for people to have better connection with each other even if they live differently. Slow Side
Plan

Section
- “Do you want to live with a person who go to work in the morning super early, and go back really late and keep working every day if you’re a retired person who just want to enjoy and relax?” - “Definitely Not”. Fast side is the Connected box which disconnected by roof garden to build a quiet space for people to enjoy a 5-minute privacy. The slow side is the seperate unit connected by sky lobby at specific location to create a party space for people to have stronger connection.
