DETROPOLIS DETROIT, MI

SYSTEM STUDIO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, FALL 2017 INSTRUCTOR l CRAIG BORUM & CLAUDIA WIGGER COLLABORATORS l TED SONG & AMEE BHATT

Inspired by the intersection of various forms of transit at the New Center Amtrak site, DETropolis strives to encompass this density to better integrate the incoming and outgoing public. The housing project reimagines the horizontality of urban spaces, such as the plaza, street, and park, and how they can be woven into the verticality of the high rise while maintaining their fundamental characteristics. As a result, DETropolis is an interior urbanism providing a full sense of community within its architecture.

The main massing consists of a commercial podium with a plaza and parking structures on the lower levels, two high-rise towers on top of the podium, and a volume spanning the space in between the two towers on the upper levels. The volume in between the towers employs a special truss structure to account for the long span and to be able to support those spaces without any columns within that space. The housing strategy in the Horizontal Neighborhood is family-oriented houses. The intent of the facade is to provide a smoother finish for the alternating balconies in the units. The use of perforated metal panels allow for light to get in, as well as a translucency that brings in color and the slight visibility of the truss structure keeping up the long horizontal span. In the Vertical Neighborhood of the building, a consistency of materials was desired to bring both vertical and horizontal masses together, but to provide additional texture to the otherwise flat curtain wall towers the perforated metal panels are corrugated as well.

Massing by Programs

In American schools, the question of STEM vs. STEAM misses crucial points: More than it reflects a fear of falling behind the rest of the world in training a tech-savvy workforce, STEM promotes and makes official a national suspicion of arts and culture, and despite its protestations to the contrary, the introduction of STEAM feels more like the ultimate eye-roll: a late and grudging acceptance of a non-quantifiable “other.” Too little too late, it’s an institutionalized reinforcement of the artsy kid getting picked last for the [s]TEAM. The project addresses the design of American middle school with an eye of the pedagogy of art education.

SEOUL WATERWORKS MUSEUM

Level 1F Plan

SEOUL, KOREA

THESIS STUDIO UNIVERSITY OF SEOUL, SPRING 2013 INSTRUCTOR l SUN-YOUNG RIEH

Preserved Area

Ddukdo water treatment plant, which was the first modern water filtration plant in korea, has been renovated as dduksum waterworks museum. But it’s not popular enough in the context because of its bad accessibility and the lack of contents of the exhibition. My project proposes a renovation and a expansion of this museum. In the trace of the waterworks industry, the museum has diverse historic elements under the ground. These can be excavated and revealed to people so that they experience ‘the time’ between the past and the present. This proposal is not only about a single building. It is about the entire landscape of historic site.

Re-structuring of the Existing Floor Located in the heritage protection area, this museum is constrained from expanding vertically. Thus, the main design strategy comes from manipulating the floor surface of the existing structure. By removing certain portion of an upper layer of the existing floor inside the filtration structure, a floor slab of the new museum can be overlapped with the old structure. Water Catchment Block

NATURAL HEALING CENTER SEOUL, KOREA

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION STUDIO UNIVERSITY OF SEOUL, FALL 2013 INSTRUCTOR l SUN-YOUNG RIEH + CHUNG-KEE LEE

This project is a result of two separate studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. Based on the project from the sustainable architecture studio in 2012, another semester has been spent to developing the schematic design into the construction documentation in 2013. In the middle of the urban green axis, a natural healing center for teenagers is designed as a part of a small mountain(Kkachi-san) in contrast with the adjacent urban context. Following the basic principles of sustainable architecture, the entire passive design has been developed in response to climatic loads such as wind, air-flow, water, daylight, solar access. Moreover, in order to reduce energy uses, active technologies are widely used in the building.

99 HOUSES—HACK INTO A BURGLAR’S NETWORK DETROIT, MI

PROPOSITION STUDIO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, WINTER 2017 INSTRUCTOR l V. MITCH MCEWEN

Starting from the design thinking based on a refusal to the burglary issue of American single family housing, rather than a typical design process of “problem and solution”, this project aims to propose a series of 99 houses in Fitzgerald, Detroit, which are generated by grasshopper algorithm. A radical, algorithm-driven design idea dismantles the existing subdivision of American housing district and re-arranges the placement of houses so that the houses can have less dark spaces which act as a network for burglars’ circulation. Also, the algorithm creates various sizes and arrangements of windows of each house. The variation of windows influences the vision and the surveillance effect of the inhabitants and dictates the shape of the surrounding houses.

BIGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S RECIPE PERMUTATED TYPOLOGY

GENERATIVE DESIGN COMPUTING THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, FALL 2017 INSTRUCTOR l ERIK HERMANN COLLABORATORS l DANIEL NGUYEN & FLORENCE WARNER

This project attempts to use the methods of permutation and transformation to examine the work of Bjarke Ingels Group. The firm employs a consistently simplistic formal logic in most of its work, using primitive forms and simple formal gestures. By using permutation, we will break down some their more recognizable works into their basic 3D elements. This will give us a BIG specific architectural library of components with which we can use generative design to speculate new building designs. We will manipulate the codes and scripts used in the permutation/morphospace assignments to combine, transform, and rearrange these components. We hope that this method will result in interesting and unexpected new forms; perhaps some of these will result in buildings that are more or less stylistically BIG.

GRIDSPACE RESEARCH ON GRID

REPRESENTATION THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, WINTER 2017 INSTRUCTOR l ERIK HERMANN

Based on a prominent precedent in the history of modern architecture(Block 1 IBA by O. M. Ungers), this academic course of architectural representation explores the possibilities of reinterpretation of grid systems in architecture. The series of design works demonstrates how to understand and diversify the use of grid in architecture by employing various representational techniques such as lineworks, graphic, collage, and model making.

INVERSE SQUARE LAW LIGHTING LIGHTING FIXTURE

FABRICATION THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, FALL 2016 INSTRUCTOR l DUSTIN BRUGMANN COLLABORATORS l KIMBALL KAISER & RYAN TRETOW

Steel functions as the the lightweight medium for perfectly capturing the inverse-square law. As light travels through each green disc, the light becomes equally more diffused while generating a gradient of reflected colored light; amplifying the visual experience beyond a typical point source fixture. A pure, roll-formed and perforated plate steel tube is all that is required to foster the desired lighting condition. The custom linear perforation pattern allows for partial opacity(40%), making visible the reflected glow as well as the dynamic gradiant of lighting intensity acheived via the inverse square law concept itself.

IBM KOREA HEADQUARTERS SEOUL, KOREA

WORKPLACE INTERIOR PROFESSIONAL PROJECT AT GENSLER, JUN 2014-MAR 2015 DESIGN DIRECTOR l K CHUNG (GENSLER)

Yeouido is a large island in the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. It is Seoul’s main business and investment banking district. Located in the center of Yeouido, International Finance Centre Seoul(commonly known as IFC Seoul) has been designated as a new place for IBM Korea headquarters. Changing from technology-based firm to consultingbased firm, the most important goal of IBM Korea’s relocation was to make “cultural transformation by workplace transformation”. From schematic design to construction administration, I was involved in every phase of the project. In particular, I worked on client analysis, concept study, space planning, 3-dimensional design, visualization, finish selection, shop drawing review & etc.

WORKPLACE INTERIOR PROFESSIONAL PROJECT AT GENSLER, JAN 2016-JUN 2016 DESIGN DIRECTOR l PHILIPPE PARÉ (GENSLER)

The concept of the work space of Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang is founded on principles of rational efficiency, yet still aspires to capture the emotional side. One that cares for the individual beyond the work itself. A workspace that is comfortable, delightful, and humane. It’s about an environment that captures all the diverse needs of working and living within the client’s community. In this project, I was involved in all phases of design, which range from the consulting phase to the design development phase. As a designer, I especially worked on 3-dimensional visualization, architectural finish selection and 2-dimensional drawings for bid document.
