ART EXPANSION Internship project in B+U Architecture Instructor: Herwig Baumgartner & Scott Uriu The Chadwick Art gallery is part of an extensive expansion of the Chadwick school Campus, a K-12 school with 830 students and 106 faculty, located in Palos Verdes, California. The school’s visual arts program is known for its excellence and breadth, including programs in ceramics, drawing, painting, film and photography, and graphic design. The Art gallery is a 2,000 sqft space which would be dedicated mostly for student exhibitions as well as artists invited to the school.

HEART OF CAMPUS The art gallery itself is lifted off the ground which opens an informal, covered exterior gallery underneath that can be used for sculpture and pottery exhibitions that students walk through. At the same time, the openings and a staircase into the gallery above allow for views into the exhibition space itself. Lifting the gallery also increases its visibility and view out into the surrounding scenery through two large apertures and many skylights.

LINKAGE SPACE Besides its presence to the main lawn we also wanted the gallery to be a linkage space of the campus where student pass through daily moving between classrooms. We designed the gallery both as a destination and as a pathway connecting two sides of the campus. A long continuous ramp snakes through the gallery building and connects the North campus with the main lawn; a shortcut that students frequently take to transition between classrooms. The art gallery itself is lifted off the ground which opens an informal, covered exterior gallery underneath that can be used for sculpture and pottery exhibitions that students walk through.

CUSTOM 3D TILES The exterior gallery can be enclosed with colorful curtains that provide a temporary protection against the elements while they can easily be removed to allow for maximum flexibility of the space. The exterior cladding of the gallery is made out off custom 3D tiles that provide a colorful enclosure and reference the ongoing student work with ceramics that has been at the center of the arts program at Chadwick.

CONCRETE CORRIDOR Internship project in Atelier Deshaus Instructor: Yichun Liu

The project adopts the long concrete wall as a platform for new construction. Significance of being a solid earthwork is assigned to this wall, which also serves as a foundation for a sloping bridge connecting the flood control wall and the wharf and then traversing the wild trees, for an elevated long open corridor, as well as for a resting pavilion.

Cantilevered Space The wharf devoid of coal-unloading is now polished into a roller rink, which makes a close spatial relationship with the cantilevered corridor in short distance. The ground, the concrete wall and the inserted structure are integrated into a new ensemble, where people might choose to linger or pass by as they wish. The former coal wharf is now turned into an urban place for flaneurs.

Single-pitched Roof 25

A single-pitched roof is designed to demarcate the space inside and outside the wall. Faced inside the wall is a garden of solitude in between the gap of the wharf and the shore, and there is also a low corridor on the ground level. Outside the wall is a cantilevered corridor for visitors to overlook at the Huangpu River.

Post-and Beam The slender post-and-beam steel structures act as a series of finders, and they frame out the witnesses of different epochs – chimney of the old gas plant, cranes in bright colors, concrete blocks embedded in mud and washed repeatedly by tide, high-rises across the river, bridges far away – as with the movements of people.

Golden Ridge Upper-cloister

THE ‘NOT’ TEMPLE Internship project in Atelier Deshaus Instructor: Yichun Liu The intention of the design is first implicit in the careful site-selection. In the Cloister, people would also first enter a small courtyard through the forest, then pass a space that is highly integrated with the terrains, and finally, walk out of “the mountain” and enter a transparent and delicate steel-structure Zen hall. Eventually, the view toward the valley suddenly opens, drawing the distant Great Wall inside.

Terrace Typology

The middle part of the building has a 1.6-meter-high stepping terrace, which not only simulates the geometric shape of the terraced farm cultivated by local farmers, but also tries to create a spatial meaning with the dimension of 1.6-mete.

DIFFICULT PYRAMIDS Yiyang Sang Andrew Zago

Andrew’s vertical studio discussed a lot about ‘Ur... Form?’ which stands for a status of form development. Although it sounds like an existence of a temporary art style, it is acutally a transform process that how people took the advantage of those form, in our case, it is the coal breaker from which we took the form and then make them into our own designs.

THE TILT LINES

Breaker Art Piece

TILT LINES ART

In general, the visual system provides an accurate means of measuring the orientation of visual contours such as lines and edges. However, lines presented close together or one after the other in the same location can interact, causing distortions in their apparent orientations. When the lines are presented simultaneously, this effect is known as the tilt illusion, when they are presented successively, it is known as the tilt aftereffect. This artpiece focuses on the tilt aftereffect,

NEW MASSING

After our coal breaker research, I found that when a subsequent line of a slightly different orientation is presented, the most strongly responding units are now the ones with orientation preferences further from the adapting line, resulting in a change in the angle perceived.

INTERIOR CIRCULATION Using tilt lines to demonstrate the position of the windows and generate connection between massing and facade become the concept of my project, as well as the artpiece we mentioned. Different combination of tilt lines and windows create the tilt aftereffect, also bring various complixity to this project, not only facade, but also the interior circulation.

This project is the design, development and documentation practice of the library design that we made in 2GBX design studio. This project locates in downtown, Atlanta. The prospect of the library is to provide suitable service and certain functions for future public reading requirements. Designers choose to transfer those rock-like space into different reading space to fulfill the function needs.

ORIGINAL DESIGN

The orginal design was taken from Lourenco and Phil’s studio design last semester. They used rock as both function unit and primary structure. Also, those rock units penetrate the diamond-shape glass facade in order to get the ideal massing.

ROCK UNIT

The rock unit is designed for relatively more private reading space, which is composed of the floor system, the steel framing system and the facade pannel system. Those units were cantiliverd on the primary beam and cable system.

Puzzle Maker Yiyang Sang, Haozhou Zeng Instructor: Dwayne Olyer The studio begins by looking closely at several 3d puzzles by Hanayama . Those puzzles were then transformed and reinterpreted into a new set of elements (that retain the key connective principles found in the original). Each pair of students developed a number of their own puzzles that informed their architectural development for an Art Museum in Los Angeles.

2D Puzzle This puzzle took the idea of the unique 2D patterns from Hanayama Square with the methodology of rescaleing, relocating and rotation.

3D Puzzle The modified 3D puzzle took the patterns from original Hanayama Square, then developed it in a vertical way by stacking the similar set of grooves on top of each other to form an occlusion system.

Assembly

. The combination method we used in site development was very useful, by blurring the boundary between site and building we create a weird connection between them. Now we are trying to perform the assembly methodology that we got from those puzzle experiments to create the ‘simultaneous install’ process of this project.

Boggie Complex Graduate Thesis The prospect of this thesis project is to develop a super-scale housing mode in Downtown LA by taking the idea of mat-building. Designers began with single units experiments, then dive into neighbourhood-scale community and eventually developed into a post=parametric mat-system complex.

THE NEO MAT-BUILDING

BOGGIE COMPLEX

Graduate Thesis Yiyang Sang and Siyu Zheng Instructor: Andrew Zago The prospect of this thesis project is to develop a super-scale housing mode in Downtown LA by taking the idea of mat-building. Designers began with single units experiments, then dive into neighbourhood-scale community and eventually developed into a post=parametric mat-system complex.

GRADUATE THESIS

GT2020 SC I_Arc

Unit Experiments In the first period of our thesis, we focused on small and single unit developments. We tried to find those ‘unexpected’ and ‘conflicted’ space during the process of transformation and massing tests.

GRADUATE THESIS

GT2020 SC I_Arc

Unexpected Space

Those ‘unexpected’ space provides specific atmosphere to specific residents with different functions. In our opinions, that would not be a limitation, instead it would be the new potential of how housing space could be organized in restricted space area.

GRADUATE THESIS

GT2020 SC I_Arc

Boogie Pattern

Began with Mondarian’s painting, Boogie Woogie, we tried considering those single units as the basic elements that can generate circulation according to the way they composed which is totally different from traditional mat-building’s grid first design logic.

GRADUATE THESIS

Semi-Urban The site lacates in Downtown, LA. As a urban scale project, the housing complex was handled as a semi-urban which was designed to fit in the real city but not damage the original living texture of it.
