N 14 th St

The St. Louis Old North Neighborhood has been known as a historic neighborhood. Within the north side of the city, it is low in density, consist of mostly residential buildings, some retail, educational and cultural buildings, and covered with lots of vacant lands. With buildings separated from each other and vacant lands scattered in between, a civic center to activate community dynamics and create connection is desired.

William Ittner spent much of his lifetime in school typology study. There are certain types of schools he experimented and applied into his designs. He was influential in St. Louis for designing around 50 schools, lots of which have been regional landmarks defined by local residents.

BERLIN IMMIGRATION CENTER 2016.02-2016.05, Architecture Studio Instructor: Johanna Meyer-Grohbrügge

25


Homogenized Space The offices for new comers in Berlin are busy due to the large demand for assistance from the local government to help these people get settled down. Located in the center of Berlin, the project was proposed as an office building, meanwhile it serves as a complex center with multiple other programs. Except for providing services to immigrants, a culturally open gesture is also needed. Based on this concept, the programs were flattened and mixed in spaces that are visually open to reduce the sense of alienation and intrigue communications between different groups.
