Addressing accessibility and occupation of space, the project proposes a new spatial paradigm with “bars” based on an existing site. The site is composed of 2 total different part: a parking lot- the void and an international food market- the solid. The idea is using “bars” to interfere the space of void and solid to make it more dynamic. And the strategy is adding up bars on the void side to bring inside out and carving out bars on the solid side to bring outside in. Besides the form of “bars”, varieties of materials are explored to change the transparency of the space in order to affect accessibility and occupation as well. The project is a miniature of the busy South Grand Blvd where it is located. And being the most active area along the street, the project which includes the original food market, restaurants, games rooms and acting theater provides a gathering space for the pedestrian.

02 The Stage Berlin Visitor Center | Berlin, Germany | Academic Work Instructor: Johanna Meyer-Grohbrügge
This project aims at achieving a new House of Welcome in Berlin. It’s the first stop for immigrants and foreigners who come to Berlin. Functioning as a register center and a cultural center, it will relieve the existing overloaded register building and connects new comers and the city. The project is based on typical Berlin urban feature “platz” and translate it into “stage” where people have specific activities. Every stage is brought to a certain level which creates visual connections. Each floor is a stage that has one main function. People perform one activity while seeing others’ performance on other floors. In addition, a real stage is anchored on top of the event hall. It becomes a public platform which is accessible to everyone in the city.

The project is a collective housing laid at the west boundary of the oldest part of the city of Madrid, beside the recently built linear Madrid Rio Park, at the left bank of the river lined up to the east with the historic royal garden placed at the feet of the Royal Palace. This design is exploring a new model in the value of contemporary ways of living and the implementation of matching soft programs. Given an indicative area of 45.000 square feet, the housing is dealing with the space in housing scale as well as the space in urban and landscape scale. The specialized VOID is infilled progressively in the SOLID, creating a flexible area to allow interacting urban events with residential living.

04 Voronoi Formation Tokyo Olympic Park | Tokyo, Japan | Academic Work Instructor: Nanako Umemoto Teaching Assistant: Hilary Simon
FORMATION - WEATHERED ROCK
The project starts from the earth formation-weathered rock along shore Strait Georgia in Gulf Islands British Columbia Canada. The first step is to develop the future landscape plan of the park base on the formation. And working backwards from long-term proposals towards a design for the Park’s Olympic functions responding to the social and urban issues in Tokyo city.

05 Constantly Moving Children Library | St. Louis, USA | Academic Work Instructor: Sungho Kim
Located in a corner of a residential area, the children’s library faces a church and has a highway on the backside. In the project, reading rooms for children are created by peeling off walls as well as opening the hidden floor space. A long-wide ramp acts as the main circulation and connects the outside and inside space, which enrich the experience for children. MODEL DEVELOPMENT

12 COCA Parking Parking Garage | Axi:Ome | Professional Work Team Member: Jiachang Ye
COCA Parking Garage is designed to become the urban beacon between Delmar and Washington Ave that connects urban and visual corridors and creates public awareness to the new arts campus. The parking garage is developed as an extension of the streetscape with programmatic volumes inserted to create hybrid events of the performance school, public parking facilities and a cafe. The design strategy is to develop elevated and layered ground that loops up through street like events and green spaces that engage new forms of urban experience.

13 COCA Expansion Expansion of Center of Creative Arts | Axi:Ome | Professional Work Team Leader: Jaymon Diaz Team Member: Timothy Scolarici, Mingchen Cui, Wenqian Wen
COCA is an anchor in the urban life of the St. Louis Delmar loop neighborhood. The scale of the proposed addition responds to the neighborhood and also restores the relationship of the curved roof to facade on the eastern edge of the original Mendelsohn building. Stretching out to the natural limits of this urban and suburban site, the proposed plan integrates program spaces of various sizes, including a theater and black box connection and exposes the learning process of arts education to families that support their child’s pursuit of expressive communication through art.
