BIOS My name is Zechariah Fung and I am currently a fourth-year student undergoing a Bachelors at the University of Arizona. Besides studying architecture I am a photographer, musician, and minoring in Spanish. The Architecture of a place exemplifies the identity and culture of a place. The unique culture and place of the Sonoran Desert requires a response as nuanced and raw; whether urban or remote, understanding context is to create remarkable spaces that seek not to overwhelm.
TUCSON CULTURE STATION A culture center must carry an understanding of the historical context of the city’s built environment, specifically the neighboring Tucson Station, which served as the city’s main economic nexus and connection point until the arrival of the I-10. The station celebrates local materiality, the economic legacy of the train, and the resounding presence of the Santa Catalinas in the sky. It does not act to serve as a displacement of the existing station and its program but as a complement. The proportion of the form is derived from existing site datums established by traffic flow and the arrangement of the Station’s masses.

The Tucson Culture Station draws upon existing site datums and the existing linear palette to create an extension that celebrates the existing yet suggests contemporary applications within this framework. The frame and partition system allows for flexible layout in a rapidly changing downtown.

A cultural center must embody the values of the place; Tucson, like most American Cities is built around a grid. There is ingenuity and potential within that grid framework and the ‘rivers’ of circulation that bisect them. The site meets at a critical intersection of freight, culture, and business.

UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CAMPUS Building within the wilderness requires extreme care, particularly within the confines of Saguaro Natural Preserve. This Land Ethic requires an phenomenological response to fauna and flora in the same manner as responding buildings and infrastructure in the city. Naturalist and philosophical reading by Aldo Leopold, Jay Appleton, and Gaston Bachelard provide precedent for crafting experience and built response. The design synthesizes this ethical response and the Unitarian Universalists’ ritualistic program.
The design of the project minimizes cut and fill while using raised walkways that seek to preserve and even enhance water flow. The character of the project is influenced by the Spanish missions of the American Southwest utilizing heavy stone or adobe walls in conjunction with heavy wood rafters. The project must be understood in terms of macro and micro forces. The campus is situated within two minor rock outcroppings and one major rock outcropping, this provides an introspective focused campus while taking advantage of the panoramic views towards the north as shown.

GARFIELD BUNGALOW

E. P

St.
The Garfield Bungalow was designed for a young couple looking to start their family. They have chosen to move into the historic Garfield neighborhood, a neighborhood that has seen better days economically but is beginning to see economic revival and rejuvenation. The lot is a Southwest facing corner lot on the intersection of Pierce St. and 9th St. The site due to its location provides an excellent view of the Phoenix skyline yet a demanding heat load. The neighborhood is historic and is home to few of the remaining pre-suburb era bungalows and pyramid cottages that sprung up because of American expansion into the Southwest.
Urban Context
Housing Typologies Garfield was developed between 1883 to 1955 as a ‘streetcar subdivision’ built around the establishment of the streetcar line. The neighborhood is one of the few central neighborhoods that holds pre-50’s historic vernacular architecture. The neighborhood is dominated by bungalows, period revival adobes, and the largest collection of pyramid cottages anywhere in Phoenix. It has seen better days, many of the lots have become vacant, the streets need maintenance and profit-driven design is making their way into the neighborhood.

This home takes from the bungalow’s dominant roof as a giver of form as well and protection against the Sun. As the identity of this neighborhood begins to re-develop, so the family will as well. By building upon the influences of its context and to utilize technology does this house find an appropriate place in the 21st century.
The house retains the overall form and scale of the houses in the neighborhood, the setbacks are aligned, the carport is along the eastern edge of the lot, and the big roof structure is derived from bungalow typeology.
The house is a blank canvas, large wooden CLT trusses with metal brackets provide an opportunity for expansion and inversion. The house’s other features continue along this theme: sliding partitions, lofts with ladder access, revolving screen exteriors, and canvas shades create a continually changing environment. This environment creates opportunities for creative expression integral to a satisfying childhood; the choice of material is designed to invoke comfort and familiarity. Resiliency in architecture is achieved here through flexibility and respect for its context.
DENVER FRAME In the age of rapid urbanization and population growth, the challenge of feeding said growing populous becomes ever apparent as land becomes more and more scarce. In response, the idea of urban farming expands on existing Controlled Environment Agriculture technologies multiplied and automated. Therefore this controlled module is then multiplied into a vertical format, creating green towers within cities. The farm is accompanied with an urban market. The synthesis of a nostalgic and vernacular market and the futuristic cladding of the farm lands at a major intersection in downtown Denver.

PHOTOGRAPHY Photographic monologues, were that source of inspiration during those hot summer afternoons as a child, taught me about void, light, mass, texture, and proportion. The essence of Architecture is to design space by crafting experience, Photography is not much different.
