W alking, the sole of the foot and the earth briedfly touches. Pausing, lets root in the soil. Lifting, falling, as one foot leaves the ground, the other waits for its return. In the abeyance of walking, we know the road under our feet is both an exile and home-coming. In the accumullation of each small step, we come a long way. We become attuned to our surroundings, and our surroundings become part of us.

Pilgrimage in 21st Century

Each year, over 2.5 million Muslims go to pilgrimage. The huge number of the pilgrims makes the crowd management a big issue for the pilgrimage in 21st century. Merely in 2015, nearly 2000 people were killed in stampede. Another concern of the great scale of the pilgrimage is the appalling amount of carbon emission. The question arises, how to do a greener pilgrimage , both for people and nature?

Hostility between Human and Nature

In the Upstate New York, nature and human are unfortunately against each other. While people mine in quarries, permanently damaging the surrounding environment, nature returns with floods caused by erosion, destroying human habitat.

Upstate Ecological Damage Partnership Study

Islamberg Area Ecological Damage

Upstate Ecological Charity Network

Backyard Pilgrimage, Mobility Heritage, Act of Healing

To deal with the issue is to introduce a backyard pilgrimage that is for both pilgrims and hikers. By wayfaring from one point to the next, people take part in the act of trail-making . The trajectory of the trail is determined by the ecological issues along the way, passing through the quarry, erosion, flood, invasive species overgrown, creek and road crossings. As one picks up the stone from the quarry waste, carries it and puts it into the gabion wall along the creek, grows the seedling and plants it in the barren land, the trailscape becomes the practice of conservation of the land, a ritual in itself, bridging the contemporary nature-religion divide.

QUARRY - MOSQUE IN ROCK

Quarry has significant effects upon ecosystem as it transforms the land ecompletely into barren, and destroys the habitat of any species in the area. Furthermore, it creats a huge amount of waste which composes over 70% of the total rocks it produces.

To reiterate it into a mosque in rock, several cavities is carefully introduced into the construction process of the quarry.

As hikers and pilgrims enjoy the tranquility in the shrine, they pick up a small rock and carry it as they continue the trail -

EROSIVE HILL - NURSERY

With limited vegetation and poor soil condition, the hill is facing the Islamberg is experiencing an issue of erosion.

To address the problem is to build gabion walls on the slope, strengthening the ground. The gabion walls together enclose the space for the nursery.

In the nursery, while rocks are put into the while, seedlings of pine trees are grown and carried to the barren land along the trail -

FLOODPLAIN - BATHHOUSE

As the creek meanders and will move forward at those curving points, structures nearby will face the danger of flood within 50 years.

To limit the destruction, groins are installed, perpendicular to the river bank, limiting the movement. In those groins, bathhouse is framed within the poche.

Here, people with rocks put them into the frames, building the groins -

The sanctity of the trailscape arises through an incremental relationship between pilgrims/ hikers and natural environment. between together form a trailscape

SMALL CULVERT AT THE CREEK AND ROAD INTERSECTION - BRIDGE ON WATER

Undersized and poorly placed culverts degrades water quality via scour and erosion, as well as restrict the movement of aquatic organisms between upstream and downstream habitat.

To reconstruct a safe and stable stream crossings, culvert is replaced with bridge.

In these area, to address the existing issue led by the culvert, including erosion, hikers and pilgrims put rock into the walls and plant seedlings along the bank -

PRIVATE PROPERTY LINE - SHARED REST STOP AND STORAGE

The constraints of property boundaries create a significant challenge to ecological restoration due to limited access.

To address the issue is to reiterate the property line. Rather than a straight, arbituary line on map, it is a curved line based on the site.

As hikers and pilgrims put rock along the path and into the preinstalled steel frames, place for rest and storage is created within the gabion walls -

KNOTWEED OVERPOPULATION - SHRINE

The overpopulation of the invasive species - knotweed, takes off the habitat of other species. To eradicate them, hikers and pilgrims cut the weeds, dehydrate and weaved them into sheets under the roof supported by the gabion wall. After cut, rocks are put on the land in the shape of seats and tables, marking the completion.

Nursery

Islamberg will take charge of growing seedlings in the nursery. The seeds will be planted in September, grow over 18 months, be taken care of by Isamberg, and then be ready to be moved by the pilgrims and hikers to the barren lands.

Within the gabion walls that mitigate the erosion and encloses the nursery, inhabitable spaces for prayer, rest and storage are made with the malleable meshes, which together with rebar and rock compose the wall

Bathhouse

Made of the gabion walls, the groins intrude into the river, perpendicular to the river bank. The insertion of the framework will be done by the construction team, and pilgrims and hikers will fill up the wall with rock later.

The stepped gabions in the ground allow the water to flow into the bathhouse and form a basin where people could abluere and rest around. While the ablution is facing backward Mecca, the prayer on the other end is facing the holy city.

The trailscape is not changes as it goes. Most of the materials, even the waste on degree. As the pilgrims further

materials, except the rebar and mesh for the gabion walls, are from the site, and most of which, are the site. The construction of the site lowers the negative ecological impacts to the smallest pilgrims and hikers carry stone and plants along the trail to the designated destination, they further decrease the affect that construction team could have on the environment.

Closed Cycle of Material and Labor

Walking on the trail, one carries a rock from the quarry waste to gabion walls along the flood zone to repair the ecological damage, while creating a spiritual bathhouse. By wayfaring from one point to the next, the pilgrim takes part in the the act of Trailmaking and Healing.

The trailscape becomes the practice of conservation of the land, a ritual in itself.

T he flow of school is organized through fluctuations in attraction and repellency - bouding and unbounding. Voids allow changes in intensity and scale. With varying degrees of solidity among the boundary of rooms, each space and program has different levels of flexibility. While some are like weeds, actively interacting with the surrounding, others are rock, tough and everlasting. Around these, a river of activity runs through the school, introducing constantly changing scenes. The architectural flexibility reflects a pedagogy where students, teachers, parents, or citizens fully engage with and coontrol their environment as well as experience and understand the surrounding.

Solid City and Its People

Before the construction of city, everything is like in a river, where there is no barrier. People are free. They walk or dance, sleep or read, doing all they could. As city builds, there comes residence, shops, and then government and school. More and more buildings are put into this river like obstacles. They are disciplined and limited at the same time. People are entitled an ideal shape.

Reintroducing the River

To free people from limitation and bring out all potential, the first step is to develop the idealogy that everything, including study, work and life can be changed and reformed by anyone, anything, anytime.

PLUG IN HOME

Collective Housing in Bronx

L ocated in the Hub, the center of Bronx, the project is aimed to build up not only an ever-changing landscape to meet with changing needs and lifestyles of locals, but also offering them a life-long home that could be inhabited for generations.

Bronx receives many immigrant and migrant groups, first from European countries, such as Ireland, Germany, Italy and Eastern Europe, and later from the Caribbean region, particularly Puerto Rico, Haito, and Jamaican. It is a neighborhood of diversity.

The average income in Bronx is low that it contains the poorest congressional district in the United States.

At the same time, it is also a lively neighborhood with a lot of things happening...

The site is in Hub, which is the center of Bronx. In the block, there are 11 existing residence buildings standing on the ground. One is a social senior housing and the rest are all apartment buildings. Other than residence, there are also some commercial spaces on the ground floor and a public building, which is the Bronx Documentary Center.

Vertical Zoning Regulations

Though it may be impossible to predict how the units in the Plug-In House may result in layout, form, occupation, and so forth, a set of vertical zoning regulations is implemented to ensure again overcorwding and grids.

Assembly of Prefabricated Clt Members

The members of the complex, all columns, walls and floors are designed and prefabricated. Before they move in, each resident will receive a brochure of the wall selection and order the members they want.

Home For Generations

The grid system accommodates the needs of multigenerational tenants. The standardized structure, which can host a variety of sizes of additions, can expand or reduce over time, depending on the needs of tenants. A tenant starting a family can rent an additional grid to host new bedrooms, bathrooms, play spaces. The grid offers the opportunity for the tenants to live their life in the same unit with it expanding and shrinking at different age.

T he porject stars with a master plan for St Michaels Indian School sitting in the neighborhood. It follows with a design for the school gym.

While playing basketball is highly valued by the locals, as a break not only of body but also of mind from the motonous life, the activity is given with a sense of spirituality for the community. To celebrate this moment, the design for the gym stems from the myth of the traditional Navajo community. The gigantic building breaks down into a series of small hubs, which together build up a roof that covers the main court and connects all the space together.

School and Village

Ground Floor Plan

The gym spreads out from the central court space to the surrounding auxiliary programs, including meditation pavilion, dance studio, family room and fitness. Rather than one single gigantic creature, community activities is held in a "village of sports" under a collective roof.

The gym sits on the top of the hill, overlooking the campus across the woods. Between the campus and the gym is the running trail that connects the two.

Myth of Creation

The Navajo myth is a beautiful tale that details the emergence of the Navajo people on ocean, blue sky, yellow mountain and red sun did the people come to this land of spirit. four layers of space and finally come to the vertex of the central court, which is also the surrounded with not only their brothers

Reference: Letter of Recommendation for Yuli Wang

To Whom May Concern:

Please accept this letter as an enthusiastic and unequivocal recommendation for Yuli Wang as a talented, team-enriching, and diligent architect.

Yuli was part of our team from July 2019 until September 2019 as an intern. During this period, Yuli greatly contributed to the firm and worked with passion and autonomy on different phases of the design process and various projects such as:

● China Institute New York, USA. Design Development Phase. Worked in the design team of two for the China Institute in New York and assisted the senior architect in compiling a full DD package.

● Chateau Lynch-Bages Winery Pauillac, France. Construction Phase. Matched the construction documents and adjusted them according to the on-site construction photos of the Chateau Lynch-Bages in Pauillac, France.

Yuli immediately met our expectations and demands. Her ability to work independently with great care and accuracy on the tasks assigned to her made her an incredibly valued colleague who could be counted on at all times. She represented the interests and goals of our office and always proceeded in a very responsible and result-oriented manner.

Throughout her internship, Yuli displayed a very positive attitude towards the process of design development, and always demonstrated great enthusiasm, initiative, and flexibility. Highly committed to the projects she worked on and she was often willing to give an extra effort to deliver the best possible result. This enables her to produce very promising and interesting designs.

We appreciate Yuli as a dedicated and important team member and also an always friendly and helpful colleague. Her personal behavior towards superiors and colleagues was always impeccable and cooperative, which enabled her to work as an effective member of a team.

I believe she has all the qualities to be an excellent architect and designer which is why I strongly recommend Yuli Wang for any architectural position. I am confident that Yuli will continue to use the tools and talent that she has to work on impactful and important projects. Her abilities and enthusiasm will surely see her continue in a successful career as an architect committed to becoming the dedicated and skilled professional I know her to be.

Very truly yours,

Rossana Gutiérrez de Lubetsky Principal
