Internship with ERIC OWEN MOSS ARCHITECTS May 2008- September 2008

During five months working in Eric Owen Moss Architects, I participated in the design team and helped on designing the entry space. I developed digital and analog models for design development and representation. Working on this retail project under guidance of the team, I have greatly expanded my knowledge about modular system design and the thorough analysis during the design process.

01 TEDx Performance Center Project Title: TEDx Head Seventh Armory, New York Size: 500 people Auditorium

BRIEF:

The concept for this performance center is to enhance the audience members experience in three different ways; The first experience is the experience of audience of one, which is outside of the auditorium. The second is the experience in simulcast room as a small group. The third is that the experience in auditorium as a large collective group. We believe each has its unique value to TEDx experience

Auditorium

Simulcast Area

Exterior Of Performance Center

Back of House

Auditorium Large Canvas Stage

1. For TEDx, the stage is our focus; we proposed a compact fly tower to house back of house equipment,

2. We also proposed audience members to enter the auditorium through the back of house, so they can get a sense what it is like to be a speaker on a stage, which creates a sympathy connection with the speaker.

3. In order emphasize the sympathy connection with the speaker, the auditorium and the simulcast floor levels are the same with the stage.

4. Sequence the auditorium and simulcast room to stage as close as possible, so that the audience member can get see speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facial expressions.

5. Base on the shape of the auditorium and simulcast, we propose to wrap a large canvas over the auditorium and simulcast area.

FIRST EXPERIENCE: The TEDx Head The first experience is AUDIENCE OF ONE, which we called, the TEDx Head. In order to allow many people to experience audience of one simultaneously, we project speakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faces onto a public surface at enormous scale and provide targeted audio for a single individual.

The second experience which we also prefer as the informal experience occurs In the simulcast area, we integrate two ways to enhance audience member experience; one is through the technology of Hologram, which it has the ability to see the projected speaker as 3-D virtual image. The second enhancement is to provide three comfortable areas for audience members to view hologram, The living room, the jazz club and bar. The goal is to provide freedom to converse with neighbors.

THIRD EXPERIENCE: The Auditorium

CONVENTIONAL AUDITORIUM

Typically, the way to bring audience members closer is by introducing balconies.

The problem with conventional balcony is that audience members are somewhat isolated, people in the lower level are not aware of the audience member above. 25

PROPOSED AUDITORIUM

We rethink the typical auditorium; the intension is to make the audience members more connected as a collective group visually and physically. 26

Instead of the isolated balconies, we create levels that are connected with circulations and seating

PROPOSED AUDITORIUM

This allows a fluid circulation starting from the stage.

THIRD EXPERIENCE: The Auditorium Audience Of Many

EYE CONTACT CAMERA

The eye contact cameras are designed for the speakers to make eye contacts to during their talks, so that the audience members outside the TEDx Head can feel that they are in an one to one conversation.

ONE CONTINUOUS “BALCONY” The idea of the continuous balcony is only to create an intimate connection with neighbors but also an close proximity with the speaker,

02 Study Of A Bird Flying Behaviors

02 URBAN AVIARY Central Park, New York, NY Square Footage: 1,050,000 sqft Type: Leisure

BRIEF: The idea is to create subliminal experience through rethinking an new typology of skyscrapers in the city of New York. The proposal is to purpose a skyscraper which differs from its tradition housing humans, this skyscraper purposes to house bird and reduce their dead rate. In New York city, birds are in danger due our current technology which make possible for buildings to get taller and glass facade more reflective. Taller building and more reflective glass window endanger birds because birds conceive the reflection of sky on the glass facades of tall skyscrapers as true sky, they were injured or died by crashing into the glass window. The height of the skyscraper is as tall as the Time Warner building and it opens to air which want serve as a home for birds. The skyscraper attractors through a strong beam of light, which will grow at night to the sky. Food and vegetation to create nests are available this building.

PROBLEM: BIRDS TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK CITY

PROPOSAL

(ONE SOLUTION)

(TWO ISSUES)

BIRDSCRAPER

Birds Die From Crashing Into Skyscrapers Windows Over 90,000 birds die every year by crashing into skyscrapers because lights inside the buildings attract birds flying right onto their windows

Bird Injuried after crashing onto window

GREEN

NYC Is The Only Major US City Without A Wildlife Rehabilitation Center The Wild Bird Agency has borrowed temporary space for 8 years , but now there is not enough room for the number of patients. 4,000 calls from people seeking help for distressed wildlife each year and emergency care and rehabilitation to over thousands of birds; most of them were injured from crashing into the dense “concrete jungle”, New York City

A skyscraper without “SKIN” and allows wildlifes(birds) to be the inhibitants.

PROPOSAL

(RETHINK THE TYPOLOGY OF SKYCRAPER FOR BIRDS) What Are Elements That Attract Birds?

Food Source

NO NEED For Facade

NO NEED For Flat Floor Plates

Water

PROVIDES a source of water throughout the building

Nest

PROVIDES a more free form structural system to create a forest alike environment.

Vegetation

PROVIDES secondary structural system allow vegetation and nest to grow onto.

Study Of A Human Drawing Positions

03 MUSEUM FOR CHANG DAI-CHIEN Project Title: New Mountain Face Neijiang, China Square Footage: 50,000 sqft Type: Museum

BRIEF:

Chang Dai Chien is a renown painter in China who has left us an extraordinary and precious ink arts. He has travelled to many continents to archive arts and get inspirations. One of the place he has been to get inspirations was Dunhuang Art Cave in China, where he has solely lived and painted for a couple years. In the Cave, he has produced many of his famous pieces. The purpose for this museum is to provide the very same experience that Chien has experienced during the years he spent in the Art Cave. The spacital paths experience throughout the museum are executed through a study of his drawing positions as he ages. Thus, some sequence of the paths are tilted in the same degree similar to the degree where he drew in certain age of his. His art collections are not just being hung from the ceilings, they are also engraved into wall as hieroglyphics. Architecturally, the building is recessed into the mountain and mediated with the existing landscape and creates and a new face of the mountain for the city of Neijiang.

BRIEF: Fashion garments exist momentarily, being discarded as the fashions change or the garment wares out. Ironically, architecture, despite its inventible eventual decay, are often conceived as monuments which exists beyond temporal constraints. Yet architecture and fashion both provide protection and shelter to the human body, and each has the potential to lend an identity to the people who occupy or wear them. This project focuses on the territory where fashion and architecture share similar fabrication techniques. While fashion fabrication is at a relatively micro scale, architecture makes very similar moves but at a larger scale. This research and design project explores new possibilities of construction techniques from cloth fiber at the architectural scale.

SATELLITE AUTOMOBILE ASSEMBLY FACTORY Pasadena, California

Square Footage: 100,000 sqft Type: Commercial

BRIEF:

Like the assemblage of automobiles, this project’s architectonic is conceived as a kit of parts. The building’s three main programs are the assembly line, exhibition hall and design studio. The building inverts the normally private space of car manufactory to a public, urban spectacle. As such, the public can view the construction of the car – the major driver of today’s urbanism. Finally, the design studios are also connected to the assembly line are, so that design process is visually connected to the car assembly space.

SITE ANALYSIS

2D Drawing Reinterpretation

The project is generated through the interplay between digital and analog model design technique. It starts with an abstract image taken from the site and intensively analyses the image to line drawings. Secondly, the line drawings got laid on top of the existing site to find their unique relationship.

2.5 Dimension analog abstracts were made to seek for the contextual relationship between the image and the site.

Situating and submerging the bath in the middle of lake, it creates a disconnection from society, which allows one to escape from stress and enjoy the calm and quiet space.

Shade Study Throughout a Year

The site is very narrow and between two existing residential units. The site is always under the shadow due the fact it is next to a taller residential building.

Form Studies

The form generated base on the site constraints where lighting is limited.

Adding Square Footage

Material: Channel Glass

The choice of this material allows light to penetrate through.

Subtract Mass

Add Porosity

Lighten The Mass

Window Openings The openings for the windows are articulated to capture the best skyline of the city, but allow cross ventilation to happen.

Elevation Study

Since the site is always being under the sun, the idea is to have to have a translucent facade, which is only solve the lighting problem over a day, but also attain heat gain in this particular environment.
