THE LOSS / MEMORIAL FOR LAND SUBSIDENCE FALL 2015 ADVANCED DESIGN STUDIO: IN MEMORIAM INSTRUCTOR : SCHERI FULTINEER, ERIC KRAMER SITE: BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

BECOME AWARE OF THE IMPACT, STOP, AND TAKE THE ACTION TO CHANGE There are many areas suffering from land subsidence in the United States, and everywhere around the world. It results in the loss of land, property, and lives. It is also believed that half of the sea level rise in Boston is caused by land subsidence. This memorial aims to call attention to this often hidden issue, and to provoke visitors to consider the importance of stable land. The site is located along the Greenway between downtown Boston and the harbor with the I-93 underneath. It is a suitable place for the memorial of land subsidence to emphasize the serious damage in critical area and the related issues of sea level rise. The Memorial has two layers to embody the concept and synthesize the whole experience vertically and horizontally. The path is underneath a surface, making it a tunnel, which is interrupted by two huge holes with the exposure of I-93 and the Bedrock, indicating the subsidence. The location and surroundings physically put people into the land, and represents the inexpungible destruction on earth. The upper surface with landform and grass is visually connected with the site to show the continuity of land and awareness, and in order to intensify the sudden drop of the ground. Showing the bedrock is a direct sign of how much land we may lose and the consequent impact of sea level rise. The site has different levels of noise and the contrast between noisy and quiet emphasizes the loss of land and provides chances for contemplation.

THE IMPACT BETWEEN GROUNDWATER, SEA LEVEL, AND LAND SUBSIDENCE Land subsidence is caused by over-withdrawal of groundwater and inappropriate development practices, which has adverse effects both regionally and globally. It is believed that half of the recent sea level rise is caused by land subsidence.

SITE PLAN WITH CONTEXT AND CRITICAL GEOLOGICAL CONDITION The site is one of the parcels located along the Greenway. An artifact of one of the largest earth moving infrastructure projects of the late 20th century, the "Big Dig," the Greenway is a linear surface park that connects Boston to its harbor. The site is located in a highly manipulated coastal area with landfill and artificial structure included. The hazards associated with sea level rise and the possible damage from further development raise questions about the balance between stable and unstable surfaces. This highlights the importance and urgency of dealing with land subsidence.

VERTICAL EXPERIENCES FROM SURFACE TO DEPTH The upper layer works as a stable surface continuous with the surrounding land, intensifying the visual connection but physical disconnection to the main path underneath. It is a journey from an unstable surface to a stable place. The path and material strategies force people to be close with the land, see the inscriptions extracted from the reports by USGS, and feel the vertical impact caused by gravity. YI NING ELAINE KU 14

FROM CONCEPT TO PROPOSAL The project emphasizes a sequence of feelings in its visitors. Based on site analysis, concept diagrams, and study models, the proposal aims to embody experiences that stimulate a sense of provocation, realization, and aspiration. The concept model, which is based on the charcoal drawings, studies the emotional transition stimulated by the change in elevation, unstable ground, the deep gap, and the discovery of the stable land. The proposal simplifies the concept and emphasizes the visitors' shock and fear as they pass by the huge holes. This shock and fear is also intensified by the stable surface and descending path.

SUBSIDENCE: INEXPUNGIBILITY The exaggeration of scale in depth is intensified by the contrast of shade and light, openness and enclosure, and coldness and warmth, which are revealed at the highest edge of the surface. During this journey, people experience critical moments of being close to the edge, seeing the walls, harbor, and the bedrock, and emphasizing the tension and interaction between lands. Moments designed to cause people to look down and forward are intended to emphasize the connection between the inscriptions and the physical environment. The overlooking of the cut and harbor remind people of existing subsidence and sea level rise.

FROM SURFACE TO DEPTH: REORGANIZATION AND CONNECTION The surface is visually connected but physically disconnected with the path, emphasizing the unstable ground underneath. The inscriptions are carved into retaining walls made of cor-ten steel and flamed finished granite, and can be seen when moving from central Boston to the harbor.

PATH: DESTABILIZATION, DISCONNECTION, TRANSITION The disturbance of the path extends the time to feel a sense of silent shock. The descending path forces people to be in the land and see the inscriptions extracted from the reports by USGS. The inscriptions explain that this global issue has affected areas of the nation roughly the size of New Hampshire and Vermont combined.

PATH: DESTABILIZATION, DISCONNECTION, TRANSITION The light illuminates the path and guides people, intensifying the blackness, depth, and the inexpungibility of the subsidence. Marks inside the holes indicate the change in elevation of land subsidence and related sea level since 1925. When looking from the other side, people perceive the dramatic change made by the cut. The texture of the walls is more natural and unconstrained, extending the continuity of land as well as releasing form and emotion. 27 YI NING ELAINE KU

TRANSITION / PHENOMENON STUDY IN RISD FARM FALL 2014 DESIGN PRINCIPLES INSTRUCTOR : SUZANNE MATHEW SITE: BARRINGTON, RHODE ISLAND

By analyzing the major thresholds, which are around the ridge and the forest, it is possible to explore the potential phenomena in the site and enhance the intensity of the experience. The most interesting threshold is on the top of the hill. The narrow and shady path could direct people to the ridge. Then, there is an open lawn, which is framed by vegetation without blocking the view of the bay. The goal is to create a gate that provides a transition from dense human activity to natural woods and wetlands. The position of the gate is near where the land begins to slope, creating another transition of topography, and emphasizing the compressed feeling one gets when walking through the gate. The outdoor classroom is perpendicular to the light at 3 o'clock, so it will stay the brightest area. The classroom is framed by stone walls and seats, providing spaces for people to sit. The short stone walls on the lawn become a transitional area, which could frame and direct the way. The stone has both natural and artificial qualities, and therefore could represent a balance of different types of land use. The quality of vegetation enhances the sequence of closed and open spaces and invites people to pass through. Trees with dense leaves and low branches are planted as a grid, creating a darker space and a strong sense of direction. Across the ridge, trees with loose leaves and high branches provide an open space that people could gather around. The sounds created by vegetation and strong wind could attract and guide people. By inserting the phenomenon of light, sound, and wind as a new threshold, the movement of people is changed by these tactile sensations.

THE EXISTING TRANSITION IN THE SITE The site has a strong spatial transition from the road to the bay. The geological condition changes from the urban context, forest, to the marsh. The change of elevation, openness, and vegetation are complex in the target area and guide people to discover the site, providing opportunities to influence the physical movement of people by introducing phenomena as new transitions. 31 YI NING ELAINE KU

THE STUDY OF UNDERGROUND CONDITION The hydrology and soil conditions underneath the ground are hard to observe, but both have a lot to do with the visible landscape. The study of the soil layers and bedrock reflects the elevation change on the surface. The hydrological change responds to the types of the vegetation and moisture above the ground. The understandings of these spatial qualities reveal the characteristics of the land, providing information for proposing new transitions. The models aim to represent the soil and moisture with changes in density and texture of materials. The section shows the openness and thickness both above ground and below ground.

Hydrology transition The water will flow faster from the top of the hill to the lower places. It will be collected in a wetland in the southern area.

Topographic transition The ridge blocks the view from both sides, which contrasts to the open hilltop. It also has a lot of potential to encourage visitors staying and gathering. The speed of walking is slower when climbing up, and faster when going down. The narrow and shady area also accelerates the walking speed of visitors.

SITE PLAN WITH LIGHT

Vegetation Transition The vegetation along the road works as a buffer, and the trees before the slope imply a direction. The forest blocks the visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; view and lines a big transition to a wetland area.

THE PHENOMENA The phenomenon of light at 3:00 pm at the end of October could work together with vegetation, generating similar sequences of light and dark spaces as closed and open spaces, and attracting people to the classroom. The quality of vegetation intensifies the sequence of closed and open spaces. Trees with dense leaves and low branches are planted in a grid, creating a darker space and a strong sense of direction. When people enter the site from the arrival point, they will be curious about what will happen beyond the ridge. Across the ridge, trees with loose leaves and high branches provide an open space for people to gather around. The shrubs are trimmed in a curved line that creates a more interesting space but also functions to guide people in a specific direction. In addition, the sounds created by the shrubs will guide people back to the parking lot. The wind is very strong in the existing site, and the new land form and vegetation will create a space with less wind where people can linger more comfortably. 37 YI NING ELAINE KU

THE INSTALLATION The installation at RISD Farm tests the scale of this proposal in real space in order to understand its relationship with real people. Curtain, pipe, and rope are the main materials used to represent the landform in the proposal. The elevation of land was increased to direct peoples' movement. Using what we learned from this installation as an example, we were able to refine our own design with more reasonable considerations of dimension and scale.

WEAVING / DESIGNING FOR THE TIDAL CHANGE IN BOLD POINT PARK WINTER 2015 CONSTRUCTING GROUND INSTRUCTOR : ADAM E. ANDERSON SITE: PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

The goal of this project is to interweave the park and its surroundings, giving people the opportunity to go up and overlook the whole scene, and also to go down and be embedded in the environment. Based on study of the relationship between the park and the hill, and using the technique of carving, a big platform facing the water is installed. The platform aims to repeat the rhythm of the topography. Another lowest point is designed to emphasize the change of elevation. It also can block wind and people's view when entering; therefore people won't notice the water at first glance. Then visitors can walk on the two geometric paths, which work as main circulation in the site. The shape is inspired by the view from the hill and to the water. One path climbs up to overlook the whole view, and the other goes down in order to walk into the site and be enclosed by the water. The project is designed to highlight the tide, and the landscape would be changed by tide due to different elevations. Water will fill up various areas during a day, emphasizing the passage of time and the presence of nature. When the tide is low, people could stroll on the beach at the edge of the park, and the middle area could work as an open space or amphitheater. But when the tide is high, the water would fill up the middle area, creating a pool. The beach would also be underwater, and people could walk on the the path enclosed by water, experiencing the amazing view. The section model shows the details of the contrast between the pavement area and the soft edge.

WATER, LANDFORM, VIEW, AND THE SITE The site is located along the water and includes a dramatic change in elevation from the hill to the waters' edge. The water flow and the tidal change result in unique moments in the park. The view from the hill at the southeast corner of the park and the view toward the water make the proximity of the site's surroundings much more clear; this has the potential to connect the site more strongly with the city of Providence.

THE CONCEPT: CLIMBING UP, GOING DOWN The new topography intensifies the existing landform, encouraging people to explore the higher elevation of the site and be enclosed by the water. The two geometric paths work as the main means of circulation in the site. The shape responds to the view from the hill and to the water. The path divides the site into smaller spaces for various activities, making the park a vibrant and active place. The soft and hard materials reflect different qualities in the site, encouraging people to live with environment and tolerate intense activities respectively.

YI NING ELAINE KU 46

THE PROPOSAL: LIVING WITH THE TIDE The project is designed to highlight tidal activity, and the landscape would be changed by tidal activity as well as the varying elevation of the land. Water will fill up various areas over the course of a day, allowing visitors to feel the effects of time and nature. When the tide is low, people can stroll on the beach at the edge of the park, and the middle area will serve as an open space or amphitheater. But when the tide is high, water will fill up the middle area, creating a pool. The beach will also be underwater, so at high tide people can walk on the path through water, experiencing the amazing view. The conjunction of the pavement area and soft edge emphasizes the contrast between artificial and natural. The intersection of materials on the platform performs as a transition between soft and hard, released and constrained, which can be seen in the plan and sectional model. 47 YI NING ELAINE KU

THE DETAILS: THE PATH The path slopes down, and the water will surround the whole path all the time. There is a door to prevent water from flooding the path at high tide. The windows on the wall work as frames to guide visitors' eyes. The change of water level also works with the varying elevation in the site, as well as landscape and planning strategies, in order to create versatile, vivid experiences.

CONTEMPORARY EMERALD NECKLACE / THE PLAN FOR SEA LEVEL RISE SPRING 2015 URBAN SYSTEM STUDIO INSTRUCTOR : ROBYN REED SITE: BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

The goal is to connect water, people, and districts, transforming the southern waterfront in Boston into a district with cultural and artistic vitality. There are many museums, studios, and cultural institutions around seaport districts, providing the chances to integrate them for more opportunities in the site. The strategy is to use landform to divide the seaport areas into districts, letting water come in and pass through different areas. Each zone will have a proposed center with particular functions but all related to cultural activities. Transportation is also critical to link the zones. In order to develop a healthy, green district, a continuous bridge is proposed with more vegetation, which is suitable for walking and biking, as well as a new light rail system. The bridge passes through the major commercial streets, centers, and offices, satisfying the needs of communication between the different areas . The vacant land and parking lots are renovated to be green space for flooding and recreation, serving as the gardens for communities. Another essential transformation is the use of the convention center. The plan is to provide more opportunities for the public to use it, but still keep enough space for exhibition. The new spaces include classrooms, retail stores, and meeting rooms. The spiral design around the convention center is continuous and changes in elevation, and is inspired by the New England Neptune, which is the state shell of Massachusetts. Using these spatial qualities, it is possible to embed smaller spaces with various functions to enhance the artistic atmosphere, including an outdoor theater, a water stage, graffiti walls, etc.. By bringing water in, and pulling people out, this contemporary emerald necklace not only connects the east and west sides of Boston, but also builds its own identity.

SITE ANALYSIS

THE POTENTIAL IN INNOVATIVE DISTRICT: ART AND CULTURE The site is huge, mainly made of artificial fill, and lacks aesthetic qualities or a cohesive identity. But there are many artistic and cultural institutes, organizations, studios, and museums nearby, indicated on the diagram by high (red), medium (orange), and low (yellow) intensity of activity. This provides opportunity to distinguish the district from the rest of the city, and at the same time satisfy the spiritual needs of people in public spaces. 53 YI NING ELAINE KU

YI NING ELAINE KU 54

THE NEW LAND USE This proposal divides the area into islands with different functions by introducing water, which responds to existing land use. The biggest change is the transformation of the industrial zone into design firms, green spaces, and new communities, because the industrial zone is mostly abandoned and destroys the appearance of the district. Introducing the water and the consideration of cut and fill in the area not only provides chances to be closer to the water, but also forces people to think about and adapt to life after the sea level has risen.

THE FIVE ISLANDS The green spaces not only increase the pervious surface, but also become a buffer zone when the sea level rises, keeping the primary zones working normally as five islands. The zones are connected with the community centers and designed with different capacities and functions, serving the visitors and residents in individual ways. In order to function better as the sea level rises, the first floors of the buildings are mainly parking areas, while the main circulation for walking and biking is elevated. In addition, a light rail system is proposed to encourage a more sustainable lifestyle. 2100: 3~6â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2050: 1~2 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; YI NING ELAINE KU 58

THE SUBLIME / CREATING THE FEELINGS OF SUBLIME WITH NATURAL PHENOMENA SPRING 2016 THESIS PROJECT STUDIO INSTRUCTOR : SUZANNE MATHEW SITE: L’ENFANT PLAZA PROMENADE, WASHINGTON D.C.

Landscape can make a huge impact on emotion through human movement in space. To use Washington D.C. as an example, the sublime is a significant spirit in the city, especially at the National Mall. But the sublime which is present at the existing monumental environment is not intimate or conducive to spending a long time there. This investigation discusses how to stimulate intense emotional impact by intriguing the sublime, by being conscious of our unconsciousness, and by realizing humans are part of the powerful nature. The first phase focuses on gaining an understanding of what the sublime is through exploring the general definition and ideas of the sublime from culture and nature – both indicate the importance of light in spaces. The research on the characteristics of light inspire the proposed sublime that is revealed by phenomena. During phase 2, the further study of the sublime in art, music, and poetry is aiming to describe the spatial qualities required in order to create the sublime, as well as define the existing and proposed sublime based on site analysis, particularly looking at the spatial transition, openness and compression, light and shade, frame and view. A proposal is generated responding to the previous research in phase 3, testing the effectiveness of revealing the sublime in the site with spatial manipulation. By changing people’s movement mentally and physically, emotion can be influenced to encourage rethinking of the relationships between the environment and individuals. The main goal is to open and understand the possibilities that landscape can have intense influence on emotion by experimenting with specific spatial qualities as they correlate to mind, eyes, and body.

HOW HAS LIGHT WORKED TO AFFECT THE SUBLIME IN PRECEDING CASES?

EXPANSION OF SKY INTO SPACE THROUGH CARVING TESHIMA ART MUSEUM Design: Office of Ryue Nishizawa Location: Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan Construction: 2010 The light is blocked by a huge white smooth surface emerging from the ground. Two oculus are the only sources of light. They provide access to the sky above and the outside word. The white material is like a canvas, reflecting a faint image of the surroundings when light passes through. This also blurs the boundary between the oculus and the sky, seducing people to contemplate and keep gazing. The journey begins in the woods. After traveling the length of winding path around the groves, the small entrance to the museum is revealed. The dark and compressed space emphasizes and exaggerates the overwhelming power and volume of light, and inspires feelings of sublimity. People go through mystery, confusion, and finally, hope.

REFLECTION, REFRACTION, PULVERIZATION THROUGH FILM PATH IN THE FOREST Design: Tetsuo Kondo Architects Location: Kadriorg Park, Tallinn, ESTONIA Construction: May 2011 The trees block the light and fracture the image of the sky, which provides the process of reconstructing the images by perception enhanced by the elevated path winding in the groves. The elevation change creates another rhythm to experience the space.. The force to look up created by the light from the sky , the process of walking without destination, the silence except the noise of wind, the isolation in the forest, as well as the intermittence of light and shade, form the journey of “zen”. Viewers can feel calm and be immersed in the powerful wilderness while walking, slowing down both mentally and physically.

MUTATION THROUGH TIME PATH IN THE FOREST GRACE FARM Design: SANAA, OLIN Location: New Canaan, CT 06840, USA Construction: 2015 This huge farm is located in the suburban area between Connecticut and New York. The shelter is like a river emerging from the ground, integrating with the landscape. The fluid form casts an artistic, interesting shadow at different times of day, emphasizing the fluidity of light and time. The form and transparency of the glass enhance the movement of body and eyes.. Besides the spectacular mutation of the light created by the structure, the landscape also facilitates the accumulation of the experience by the change of landform. After strolling around, people can reach the highest place of the landform, and the light is exposed suddenly, magnificently, and sublimely. LUMINANCE, TONE AND COLOR THROUGH MATERIALITY MARYHILL OVERLOOK Design: Allied Works Architecture Location: Goldendale, WA, USA Construction: 1998 The journey starts with a narrow path down an alley of trees, obscuring the rest of the cemetery except the entrance, creating the mysterious sacred feeling of the sublime. After entering the cemetery, there is a long and narrow path perpendicular to the entrance path. The opening and windows along the walls collect the light and become a guide to lead the visitors. The rhythm created by the compressed tunnels, slots, and openings, guides visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movement and leads people to the final destination, the family church. The space is quiet and humble but the composition is like a strong symphony. The square openness on the roof in the family church is the climax, representing the hope and bliss from heaven. The whole arrangement leads people from uncertainty to the acceptance of death. The peace at the end suggests the love of life and the gratitude for being part of the environment. PROCESSION OF EXPERIENCE THROUGH MOVING BRION CEMETERY Design: Carlo Scarpa Location: Via Brioni, 28, Altivole TV, Italy Construction: 1978 The journey starts with a narrow path surrounded by the allee of trees, hiding the rest of the cemetery except the entrance, crating the mysterious sacred feeling. After entering the cemetery, there is a long and narrow path perpendicular to the entrance path. The opening and windows collect the light, becoming a guide to lead the viewers. The rhythm created by the compressed tunnels, slots, and openings, forms sets the movement and leads people to the final destination, family church. The space is so quiet and humble but the composition is like a strong symphony. The square openness on the roof in the family church is the climax, representing the hope and bliss from heaven.

NATIONAL MALL

SITE: L’ENFANT PLAZA PROMENADE SOUTHWEST WATERFRONT

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE The existing sublime in Washington D.C. is mostly created by the emphasis on axis, compelling large scale, monotonous material, and spatial arrangement. The new sublime aims to use the ideas expressed by the art, poetry, and music of the Romantic period. The sublime will be evoked through intangible experiences and phenomena with reference to natural landscapes. The site is the area surrounding L’Enfant Plaza Promenade, the Smithsonian Castle and the Southwest Waterfront, which is going to be a new project called The Wharf. This space can serve as a connection and transition between the Mall and its surroundings with different spatial dimension and qualities. The ultimate goal is propose a site within which one can feel the sublime: in this case, the power of the city, the connection with the city, and the link between the past and future in Washington D.C..

WHAT DOES THE SITE PROVIDE? The unique physical and spatial characteristics of Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Enfant Plaza Promenade are beneficial in creating a strong transition through space and evoking the intense emotions of the sublime. Therefore, the proposal aims to use these advantages to stimulate particular feelings and associations by manipulating light, views, and senses. YI NING ELAINE KU 74

FRAMING AND CHANGE OF AWARENESS The focus of the visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness along the promenade is essential to this proposal, and changes based on the frames created by structures, buildings, and changes in elevation, which is shown to be important in the research. Washington Monument, the Capitol, and the old railroad are exposed at various points, revealing the memory and history of the city. This spatial and experiential transition of eyes, minds, and bodies through space creates the same sense of the sublime discussed in painting, music, and poetry. YI NING ELAINE KU 76

PAINTING

MUSIC

PAINTING • Framing guides the eyes find the sublime moment or feel immersed • The upright, aerial, and panoramic viewpoint expand the space in different directions and create the sense of beyond measurement • The horizon determines the proportion of sky, conveying different levels of vastness and transcendence • The arrangement of light and the accompanied elements create atmosphere and can be associated with human desire

MUSIC

WANDERING OF EYES INTRIGUING THE EYES WITH FRAMING BY ELEVATION, PHYSICAL STRUCTURES, AND LIGHT/SHADE 1+2 Dark foreground emphasizing the light in distance 3. Middle ground with the most intensive light 4. Background with blurring horizon and diffused light

WANDERING OF MIND CREATING THE SUBLIME VIA FRAMING, EXPANSION OF SPACE, DIFFERENT LEVELS OF OPENNESS, AND RHYTHM OF LIGHT AND SHADE 1. Beyond measurement: compressed space forces the visitor to look down, and the framing of view empha sizes the infinite distance 2. Obscurity: the confusion of judgment with the changing position of body, the pause before revelation 3. Suddenness: the shock of sudden exposed light 4. Magnificence: feeling in awe when overlooking the distanced view

• • • • • •

The catastrophic longing, blurring the distinction between pain and pleasure End and endless, stasis and infinite movement Pain and pleasure are intertwined and can’t be concluded Purposeful purposelessness Linger at a point right before a moment of fulfillment or revelation, making tension but also giving respite ‘Infinity’ can’t really ever be coming. The music/ emotions/etc will never end

POETRY

POETRY • The sublime takes the viewer from the world of sense to where it reveals the invisible world • The foreground frames the indeterminate distance and seems telescopically to focus attention • Move the objective surface of well-defined foreground to the shapeless atmosphere and space of far distance • Stressing the subjective perceiver, not the perceived object • The infinity, ambiguity at the end

WANDERING OF BODY ASSOCIATING WITH CHANGING VIEWPOINTS, EXPANSION OF SPACE, AND IMAGES PERCEIVED 1. Intimate feeling and touching of the ground remind the visitor of his or her childhood curiosity 2. The contrast of light and shade guides the visitor’s movement and can be associated with a feeling of horror and being lost in nature. 3. The light above from the sky carves out the darkness, creating an intense spiritual and divine feeling 4. The panoramic view and the wide horizon provide transcendent feelings and a sense of tranquility

LAYERED MODEL OF LIGHT

THE SPECIFIC MOMENTS OF LIGHT INFORM THE CONCEPT It has been shown that light has a lot to do with the sublime. This proposal responds to four particular times in a year. The shade and brightness created by different light conditions creates unique spatial qualities that affect people's awareness and movement, as well as stimulating feelings and creating atmosphere.

THE MANIPULATION OF ELEVATION, FRAME, AND PHENOMENA The manipulation of elevation, frame, and phenomena aims to intensify the visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sense of separation from daily experiences spatially and spiritually. The manipulation and quality of each moment are addressed separately, but can be understood synthetically as a sequential journey to being conscious of the unconsciousness. The goal is to reveal and enhance the sublime in the site by repositioning people, changing the positions of their bodies, influencing the speed of their movement, and activating the spaces using specific manipulations of light. 85 YI NING ELAINE KU

EMERALD / DESIGNING FOR THE LUXURY APARTMENT (UNDER CONSTRUCTION) DECEMBER, 2012 -JULY, 2013 DESIGN: OLD FARMER LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE CO. CLIENT: CATHAY REAL ESTATE SITE: KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN WEBSITE: http://www.mo-ss.com/web-design-work/cathay-red/r13/index.html Participating in site analysis, concept development, mainly responsible for schematic design

To emphasize the unique characteristic of Kaohsiung, which is located in southern Taiwan, water and greenery are used as main elements interwoven in space. The ultimate goal is to reinterpret the image of emerald with tropical plants suitable for the climate in southern Taiwan, to reflect the vivid personality of Kaohsiung people, to provide the precious "green" in city, and to create a space associated with luxury due to the innate quality of emerald. In addition, the geometric shapes and the fine textured materials make the whole design more polished and urban. The different layers and elevations are designed to harmonize public and private spaces without any solid walls. The main challenge in the first floor garden is how to deal with public space in this private project. By changing the elevation, arrangement of vegetation, and the angle of flowerbed, the view and movement from pedestrians is blocked in order to ensure the privacy of residents. The water feature in the entrance plaza, which contains commercial spaces, is a focal point and separates customers and residents. The design of the roof garden is also based on the same concept as the first floor. Because the space is divided oddly by the central building, a lot of effort is made to define these spaces for different activities. The glass wall makes it easier to control circulation but ensures the beautiful view. The furniture is designed like sculpture or public art, and is cohesive with the pavement and other facilities. The texture design and the form of the pool reflect light and show different colors shining through water, enhancing the concept of gemstones. The whole design of the roof garden is about being young, modern, and comfortable.

The city is 2,947.62 km2. It is the second dense city with a population of approximately 2.77 million. The Port of Kaohsiung is the largest harbor in Taiwan. The Kaohsiung Rapid Transit was launched in 2008. Kaohsiung is located within a degree to the south of the Tropic of Cancer. The climate is tropical, with monthly mean temperatures in the range of 19.3 to 29.2 Â°C (66.7 to 84.6 Â°F).

B FROM BUSTLE TO TRANQUILITY The site is located along a busy road that provides convenient access but lacks the comfortable private space of a residential area. The study and analysis both aim to figure out how to separate the public area from the private zone but still be open and accessible. This can be achieved by using the west side as the main entrance with a featured waterscape to guide people in, and turning the east side into a backyard garden with various small spaces and rich vegetation.

THE TROPICAL PARADISE By using the shape of pyramid to create a landform, visitors will associate the site with the idea of a valuable gem. The form is made cohesive through waterscapes, flowerbeds, and a garden wall. The details including elevation and view are well considered. Through the horizontal section, it is clear that each pyramid with plants has different heights and shows different sides. The planting plan responds to the tropical climate in the site. The rich color and dense vegetation not only create a unique atmosphere, but also block the view to and from the area, creating an intimate space with thoughtful arrangement and layering.

THE SPECTACULAR The design of the roof garden is also based on the same concept as the first floor, using the geometric shape of a pyramid to represent gemstones. Because the space is divided oddly by the central building, a lot of effort was made to define these spaces for different activities. The infinity pool can be connected with the Heart of Love River, which is the biggest attraction for residents. The glass wall makes it easier to prohibit residents from entering pool area during winter time, which is helpful for maintenance but also maintains the beautiful view. The BBQ tables and other seats are designed like sculptures, and are cohesive with the pavement and other facilities, making the space both artistically appealing and practical. The textured design of the pool bottom reflects light and shows different colors shining through water. The spa pool is like a diamond embedded in the infinity pool. The whole design of the roof garden is young, modern, and comfortable.

TOPO / STREET FURNITURE DESIGN SPRING 2014 FURNITURE DESIGN STUDIO (V-TECH) / INSTRUCTOR : RON KEMNITZER

The intention is to integrate street furniture with landscape design, making the furniture more interesting and attractive. The inspiration came from landform, and the goal is to represent the topography with the bench. The final product is a combination of bench and bicycle rack. The number of seats and the arrangement are dependent on different conditions of the site. The design was first intended to be constructed out of metal, which would have the illusion of movement, like a ribbon. But considering the difficulties and amount of time, the final plan was modified as a base box made by wood with metal ribbon attached on to make better support. Although the final product limited the usage of metal, the free from and rhythm of the metal parts still captured the key shape of the original concept. 3D MODEL
