01 Reveal the Private | Urban Design Studio

1st Year in Graduate School of Design 2017.02-2017.05 Independent Work Instructor: Moshe Safdie, Jaron Lubin

Project Information Site: Hudson Yard, Manhattan, NYC Area: 8700 m2 Design Description This is a collective effort to answer one question: whether a newly-conceived spine can be a generator for a city that primarily consists of high-rise towers? The central spine, which divides the site into 10 blocks, is an extension to the existing High line. Individually we design a skyscraper connected by the central spine that not only satisfies the private developer but also contributes to the public life in the city. As an office tower, it is lifted above the ground to encourage freely 24-hour pedestrian flow. And the lower volume of the tower is revealed to the public through an atrium. If high density is the new urbanism, skyscrapers have to be integrated into the street life and the institutional image should be minimized.

Form Generation Side core + Lift tower Side core is put to the north to maximize the sun exposure and allow pedestrian flow underneath.

Accessibility Direct link to both the park level (-6m) and High Line level (7.2m).

Stacking The building is retreated to allow sunlight. There are multiple floor plates to accommodate various companies.

Public Spaces The stacking tower is separated by public spaces in-between.

Atrium Atrium is introduced to allow sunlight and facilitate visual connection between the public and the private.

Project Information Site: Sunset park waterfront, Brooklyn, NYC Area: 28.5 hectares Design Description The existing waterfront features privatization by industry and separation between industry and residential. From our perspective, light manufacture, and all other related industry shall not stretch themselves as barrier between the city and the water, but should be integrated into daily experience at neighborhood and urban scale in the 21st century. What we proposed is a twoface working industry waterfront which ensures the publicity and uses waterfront as the showcase of industry. The physical coexistence of residential, manufacture, entertainment and open spaces generates both production and social capital.

Project Information Site: DASHILER Blocks, BEIJING, P.R.C Area: 326 m² Design Description: In the Society of the Spectacle of Guy Debord (1967), he asserted that "In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles". During the process of socialization (Solitude - Social Group - Local Society), humans gradually become spectators of all the images that the society produces. The true peacefulness can only be found in a space like the ancient caves, a place with the least trace of human production. The original goal of the design is to review the process from humans as spectators to meditators. Considering the site location, it becomes a circular gallery that evokes visitors' introspection of the demolition and construction of the old town.

Human as Spectators "All that was once directly lived has become mere representation." "Culture becomes more than a commodity." Guy Debord

The mass construction and sprawl of metropolitan makes people fanatical but alienated from sober introspection. As social animals, humans are in constant contact with each other and thus influenced by each other. In such chaos, meditation can be found only when left alone.

Projection Projector Faced with a society of spectacle, architects’ role is similar to a projector.

Circulation The space reveals three forms of human existence and materializes them into three overlaped layers.

Traditional Courtyard House A clear spatial structure with increased privacy exists in traditional courtyard house. Wood structure houses, courtyards, plants are considered to be the spirit of traditional life, thus kept and transformed into the projection as a memento for what has been lost.

enclosure courtyard wood-structure house

Existing Condition Compared to the historical texture, lots of additions, legal or illegal occupy courtyard space.

Architects choose what to project based on our judgement, and make it into reality for people to experience. To manifest the double role of human beings (spectators and meditators), visitors spiral inwards from Local Society (City) to Individual (Solitude).

Project Information Site: An open space in Tsinghua University, BEIJING, P.R.C Area: 1450 m² Design Description: The topic of this studio is "Stage for life", which calls for attention on relationships among people, daily life, architecture and nature. Each student is supposed to create 9 characters and a space with multiple function including studying/working, sleeping, entertaining and meeting/social. For me, the routine and mundane life of ordinary people just like you and me has great value. Architecture adapts to, accommodates, and activates way of living. My characters are all typical people within Tsinghua University. They are brought here and start to perform their daily life. Arcadia is a stage for this "reality show" and hopefully, one that promotes more possibilities for living.

Research into building material, tectonic and design methodology. 4th Year, 2014.11-2015.1 Collaborator: Jackie Yong Leong Shong, Junran Yang, Lanqin Wang, Yixin Zhou, Chan Linq Chyi Role in team: Group leader Main work in group: Scheduling(30%), Testing(25%), Fabricating(20%), Drawings(30%) Instructor: Professor Terrence Curry First prize in Tsinghua University's “Form & Space” Design Contest 2014

Project Information Site: -1st floor of Department Building Area: 5m² Design Description: Unlike the usual method that architects start from function or aesthetics judgement, this studio calls for attention to tectonic the poetics of construction. The studio required us to build a project within a 2.4m cube, inviting comfortable sitting for 4-5 people. A pair of adjectives describing spatial experience was chosen beforehand as guide to material and joints selection. Also, sponsored by Häfele Hardware, we were encouraged to explore creative expression of their products. After the construction, our project was left like an ongoing experimental installation in the new Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University. Students just love it and they define its usage in their own ways.

Edge - Affordable Housing | Preterm Study 2016.9 Collaborater: Fengqian Chen Main work in group: mapping, axonometrical drawing Affordable housing in New York City has been shifting from large public housing compounds to various incentives for developers and recently inclusive zoning. This project explores how the physical edge of affordable housing interact with social edge such as income and education level.

Household Income Comparison

Edge - affordable housing

Year 2010

Year 2000

the hard physical edges of large public housing compound form barries to the mobility of social edges (the income changes are relatively stable within these edges); however, the soft clusters of other affordable housings are more flexible to be included in social changes.

Education Level Comparison Year 2010

the education level below high school in public housing remains relatively high during 10 years, while it declines within other affordable housing clusters. if we see education as social ladder to the upper level, the people in public housing are relatively trapped in the hard social boundary.

Average Age Comparison

the average age remains stable within other affordable housing clusters, while it is fluctuating within public housing. fluctuating age in some way suggests that the residents remains relatively stable, which means less social mobility.On the contrary, stable age means people moving in and out a lot.
