Individual Work Instructor: Danielle Choi Site: Charles River, Boston, MA. U.S. 2017 Fall Harvard GSD, STU1111 This design creates three distinct sequences of experiences that connect urban with water: A widening path between buildings, leading one to a returning journey of the hollow bridge.

A series of enclosed gardens to an open waterfront that cascades gently down to water.

A linear route that culminates at the bridge to nowhere.

The overlaying of linear sequences and spaces creates multiple spatial qualities within the park. An inverted courtyard carves out a more private space from the hollow bridge. Meanwhile, it communicates with other spaces at different levels on each side with different boundary conditions. The double-edged waterfront enables people to engage with water of Charles River in a safe shallow pool.

Land-form Study of Piazza del Campo

THE CITY HALL PLAZA Three Squares Individual Work Instructor: Francesca Benedetto Site: Cityhall, Boston, MA, US 2017 Fall semester, Harvard GSD, STU1111 This design re-imagines the role of city hall plaza as a public plaza in a playful way. The three squares in the plaza are based on land-vform study of the Piazza del Campo. They challenge the geometry of the City Hall that takes a dominant role in shaping the form of the plaza. The three squares are connected by a continuous surface that allows wander and derive. The topography of squares enables spontaneous activities and events: the directional surfaces within squares create points of gravitational force. The edges of squares serve as seating. To soften the hardness of the city plaza, trees are introduced as another layer- a new nature framed by hard-paved plaza in the urban environment.

THRESHOLD ARCHIPELAGO In collaboration with: Kira Clingen, Zoe Holland, Ui Jun Song Instructor: Sergio-Lopez Pineiro 2018 Fall, Harvard GSD, STU1211 What does public space look like when the basic elements of enjoying it are threatened by climate and sea level rise? Under the changing rate of the rate of change, what kinds of new understandings of the temporal and spatial scale of changes can be developed?

This project employs three climate sensitive pathogens as agents in the design of urban form. It proposes a new set of climatic tipping points for these pathogen populations and the everyday experiences that they threaten.

PORT-PARK Individual Work Site: Jijiazui, Wuhan, Hubei, China 2015 Summer Wuhan is my hometown. Yangtze River cuts through Wuhan,

citizens as it connects the two parts of this mega-city divided

by Yangtze River. The river is the ‘neighborhood’ for destitute markets. In summer, people engage with a wide range of activities related to water: swimming, boating, rafting, diving, etc. The river becomes the playground for people. However, a continuous line of retaining walls bound the river.

The site is a shoal at the intersection between the Yangtze River and one of its tributaries - Hanjiang(Han River). The design envisions the area as the congregation of various activities related to the river - the people taking ferries, workers and

of engaging with water. Responding to the changing water activities relying on the season, weather, community size, number, etc., pools serving various functions are proposed adopted in other areas along the river.

FLUCTUATIONAL FLOOD FIELDS Timed Spaces Research: In collaboration with Xinyi Zhou Design: Individual work Course: Instructor: Alex Wall 2019 Spring, Harvard GSD, STU1212 Accessible to all types of users, transportation infrastructures embody the most universal type of collective realm in the city. program needs, they do not raise a sense of place.

Could infrastructures become new types of public places that allow people to appropriate them in different ways?

This project imagines infrastructures as timed spaces – spaces of multiple identities and would become public when they are appropriated.

indeterminant conditions: vernal ponds, river edges, wetlands, pools, etc. They accommodate different uses and imaginations.

Temporal Patterns

Four types of temporal patterns and exemplar phenomenons in Boston are mapped. These mappings reveal the multiplicity of temporal scales and patterns in physical environment, introducing The four patterns establish four frameworks for four sited designs. Tthe Fluctuational Flood Fields is the one of the largest scale- the territorial scale among the four designs.

Transforming lines This design transforms the current edges - the passives boundary lines - into spaces that brings the communities together. Three major boundary lines the inaccessible edge next to two communities, and the inconspicuous entrance. These boundary lines are re-designed into an urban boulevard, a sloped promenade, and an entering plaza. Visual connections between spaces are established by “deep lines“of trees park, only spaces for walking, resting, and wandering off.

Entering Plaza

Transforming the neglected corner of into an entrance plaza that brings people in and serves neighboring communities, the topographical division becomes a public space.

Birches are pioneer species in primary successions. They rapidly colonize open land, fast grow, short lived. Colonizing through root sprouts, the original planting grid and edges are soon diminished by new shoots. The new “lines” of trees establish a spatial dialogue within the park at a the large scale.

DESCRIPTIVE LAND-PROCESSES Modelling geographical processes Individual work 2020 Summer Credit: coding advice from Pine Wu Climate warming in regions of ice-rich permafrost in Arctic can result in widespread accelerated permafrost thawing, which displaces trees from their vertical direction as they grow, causing the formation of drunken forests. The silent, slow process of tilting of each individual spruce takes place through a time span that escapes immediate perception of difference. It raises a new kind of awareness of climate change: that it is not a threatening state to be reached at certain point, but a perpetual state of change. The boundary between individual life and a specie’s life is not clearly delineated in plants’ lives. The forest also points back in time - to the distant, remote past back to the inception of the specie. The contrast between geological time scale and anthropogenic time scale is manifested in the tension of the tilting force.

This project experiments with computed forms that transform according to certain set of rules, in order to simulate the evolution of the new Arctic landscape. It hopes to measure, interpret, and represent what would be impossible without computational power.

INQUIRING “RESILIENCE” BERGER PARTNERSHIP Research Internship Work Advisors: Jonathan Morley, Matt Martenson, Jennifer Montressor 2019 summer Berger Partnership What constitutes the common understanding of “resilience” in landscape design; what constructs the knowledge base for designing “resilient” landscape; and how to apply these to a issues – the South Park neighborhood in Seattle? This design research is comprised of three parts: theoretical framework, boundaries, looks into different spatial-temporal perspectives, and examines sea level rise at a more nuanced scale.

Excerpts From Research Report

GRADATIONAL RECIPROCALITY In collaboration with: Hiroki Kawashima, Qiaoqi Dai, Xinyi Zhou Instructor: Sawako Kaijima 2019 Spring, Harvard GSD, SCI 6359 This is a full-scale wooden pavilion project exhibited in the backyard of GSD on May 2019.

This project investigates the potential of reciprocal structure system, in which all the structural members rely on/interlock each other. The structure design is composed of the following

safety assessment with one-to-one interlocking joints model.

The different depths of the structural members are based on of the forces.

The designed form interacts with the existing canopy on site, which also serves as a structural element. In translating the 1:5 scale model into 1:1 scale pavilion, we had to switch from laser cutting to CNC milling. The different fabrication method and change of scale required us to take into consideration

Temporality is inherent in the in-between space.

To approach the temporary states in different times of a day, in different days, rainy or sunny, in different seasons, mild or extreme, To reuse it is to approach it

TECTONIC CONSTRUCTION Individual Work Instructor: Emily Wettstein 2017 Spring, Harvard GSD, VIS2142 This project is based upon a score of the temporal void in ice. The morphology of an ephemeral void is captured in another material through the process in reverse. In this 2D tectonic reconstruction, the intangible form is abstracted into material.
