Play / House University at Buffalo Senior Studio, Fall 2019 Instructor: Annette LeCuyer Partner: Yiyu Zhang

PLAY/HOUSE addresses the urgent need for affordable family housing in Brooklyn, also providing both family dwellings and a range of amenities for children. A curvilinear cut through the site forms a public pedestrian path at ground level, flanked by public facility that connects Kent Avenue to the a public garden. On upper floors, three residential buildings are comprised of two-story family units, which can be entered via interior circulation on the lower floor and exterior circulation on the upper floor. The three buildings are linked by curvilinear circulation routes, which also serve as play space for the children on the site, expanding in places to accommodate both quiet and active gatherings. The outer facades of the residential buildings are civic buffers between the private dwellings and the public street, with planted terraces to provide a visual screen as well as summer solar shading.

ECO-MASS University at Buffalo Junior Studio, Fall 2019 Instructor: Randy Fernando Partner: Paul Owusu

This proposal began with a combination of two concept ideas from a study of buoyancy which is based on the learning from building a full-scale physical vessel model. The first concept was inspired by the idea of applying textured material on a walking path to create different walking experiences in a space while the second concept is to support a heavy mass using light frames. In further development during the process of physical modeling, the idea of creating a walking experience using different materials was tested using a variety of materials like wood, fabric, canvas, plastic warp, industrial marine warp, and cement. The concept of supporting heavy mass with light frames was resolved with the strategy of waffle grid using wooden light frames and casting of cement on the top. As an addition design learned from the casting strategy of cement, the heavy mass is reconsidered to become an extension of earth and a fully accessible public park to achieve the design of an ecological system on top of the building.

CONTOUR ENVELOPE University at Buffalo Junior Studio, Spring 2020 Instructor: Elaine Chow

This project investigates the concept of wind to create a wind barrier that blocks heavy wind from different directions to an open public plaza. study of laufmachine that was constructed from layers of cardboard pieces. The idea of contour layers is to create the movement of flow and continuity. As well as positive/solid and negative/ void space. As the project continued to develop, the concept of contoured tectonics and the wind barrier was introduced at the public plaza to achieve an open area of public gathering space with stepping and seating in front of the building. Besides, the perimeter of the first level concaves inward to express the openness of the least wind-receiving direction.

Air flow

The alternating C-flute layers provide spaces for air to flow through to avoid wind resistance.

CHILDREN’S MUSEUM University at Buffalo Sophomore Studio, Spring 2019 Instructor: Jon Spielman

This project investigates the design of a children’s museum located at Buffalo State University, Buffalo, NY, through studies of a variety types of museums and explore the concept idea of “lost and found space.” The scheme initiates with a case study, Memorials to the Murdered Jews of Europe, with the principle of space study in order to gain experience about creating a space that form a scene of feeling in lost. As the project continued to develop, the idea of being lost is established with the repetition of walls in one direction. This strategy created a scene of maze-like space to both control the circulation in the space and programs in the museum.
