Comepared to the U.S embassy in the 1960s and 1990s, the U.S embassy in Amman becomes a representation of transparency.
1960s
By placing all the public program in the plinth which is hovering above the site, a place for cultrual exchange is formed. Beneath the plinth, private programs that have higher security level are hiding in the hill-like buildings.

Exhibition space is lift up to creat a ground floor more open to the public and the waterfront view.

The rotation generates two continuous suface , one for the roof while the other performs as a transformation from landscape to the building itself.
A slight adjustment in the form of two galleries gives the building a integregated form.

URBAN DEMOLISH SYSTEM | Hybrid Residential Infrastructure In Mumbai, India
Site Condition & Hidden Opportunities The chosen site of this project are four blocks standing in the south of Victoria Terminus.An office building owned by the government, a mosque, two elementary schools and some one-story retails are surrounded by high density residential buildings.
A Rethinking of the Urban Activators The idea of the ciity demolish system starts from a rethinking of the urban activators. They are usually the buildings and places that offers platform for collective activities. For example, in the city of Mumbai, they are churches, mosques, temples, schools, theaters, museums, green space in the middle of residential buildings‌ Some of them are own by one institution or just a few people. Some only serves a certain kind of people in a certain time. Compare to the chaos in most of the buildings in this city, these places are actually offering us a new opportunity for further development. This system is to tear down some of these buildings and introduce in high-rise housing project on the same site. And at the same time replace those programs at a higher level. This system is to explore a generic way of housing development in cites like Mumbai, but at the same being adaptive at different situations.
Chaos
Opportunities
Site Strategy | Replacement My strategy for the site is to tear down a mosque, two elelmentary schools, an office building and some retails in the site and replace them at the roof top level. At the same place, six towers are built up: the tower of cars, the tower of bath rooms, tower of books, tower of praying rooms, tower of washing machines, and tower of cargos.
Existing Roof The very narrow gap between the buildings have nearly make a very big continuous roof. And the informal dwellings and the activities like people doing laundry, kids playing games have make the roof a very important part of people’s daily life. The roof is actually a public space in this city.

Main Thermodynamic Concept
MAIN THERMODYNAMIC STRATEGY: Separation between Indoor(shops) and semi-outdoor(circulation) space. Semi-outdoor space is naturally ventilated(buoyancy driven, by main chineney); Exchanger surfaces temper the environment in the semi-outdoor spaces. These Surfaces have four potential functions: temperature control(heating/cooling), moisture control(humidify/dehumidify), Filtration(pollution), acoustic control. These “Exchanger Surfaces� can be material, water or flora. Five Thermodynamic Means: 1. Vegetation, Trees and Shadows, 2. Water Wall, 3. Buoyancy lantern, 4. Thermal Ceiling, 5. Green Filters
