Fall 2020, Studio project, Columbia University Design Team: Yuan Liu, Liwei Guo, En-Ho Chan Instructor: Phu Hoang

The studio engages with immigrant communities to learn their everyday appropriations and adaptations to formal systems. Looking at informal system into formal system, and thinking different approaches as climate crsis happen especially during Covid period. Design architecture or infrastructure to support and solve the problem that immigrant communities would face during global health crsis, and other social problems Our project is heterogeneous transit It starts with the reconstruction of the self and the other, followed by the intrusion of heterogeneous culture in social life. The heterogeneous transit starts with the reconstruction of the immigrant's daily life followed by the intrusion of food culture and knowledge acquisition in social life.

As the sea level rises in 2100, some urban road transportation will be cut down. But the current railway system in New york city will be affected less Facing the potential climate crisis, we are working on designing a community center transit to reconnect the food supply chain, supporting Chinese immigrants with their business and life. We hope to replace the long-distance food source from Miami with new transportation, which will reconnect urban and regional community gardens and greenhouses through railways to form a food supply network. Greenhouses will be created on the top of industrial buildings, factories and shopping malls like auto repair and Macy’s that are next to the railway. And our building will distribute cheap cooked food to the other immigrant communities through the railway network

BUILDING SCALE - PROGRAM & CONVEYOR SYSTEM

We start our program with designing a heterogeneous conveyor system Our informal convey system could be regarded as a combination of function and transportation We have two types of conveyor The purple one is the food conveyor and blue one is the book conveyor.

Food conveyor system connects with railway and urban road transportation for food resources loading. The goods from outside of the building will be transported to storage through the food conveyor. Book conveyor system connects the library, language school, and restaurant on different levels through conveyor and book cart. The horizontal book transportation bent in conveyor will also combine with bookshelves where users can choose what they want to read.

SIGNAGE FACADE

The solid part is made of Polycarbonate envelope with internal CLT panel, while the void part is made of glass with steel structure.

In the daytime, the chair and table will be stored away The food carts will show on the building facade to attract consumers on the street, this activities can be served as a dynamic signage. At night, the signage will be lit up. The faint light will come through the transparent material, and the study Room in the box will provide a small and independent space for language learners.

08. VACARE - SCHOOL OF METAPHYSICS AND WAITING ROOM

Fall 2017, Studio project, Iowa State University

Design Team: Aaron Shadlow, Marco Del Rosario Rivera, En-Ho Chan

Instructor: Peter P. Goche

Concept Drawing

Concept mapping

Vacare, meaning to "free from", submerges its users down into the landscape, architecture, and the ocean, to afford them separation from the surronding world. This allows the building to act as a vessel for individuals to reach their own metaphysical state of being. The school was inspired by the works of Josef Albers and his philosophy on how people see: "the cells in an individual's eye respond no to spots, but to bars of light or dark in a particular small region of the visual field". It is understood that shapes are not important, but rather lines and the absence of lines.

Edge and Atmosphere Study

Design was all formed by the lines. Through these lines and absence of lines, diffusing the boundary between ocean and building is the goal. By making series of models, we work out the edge condition and the certain atmosphere inside of school By using water walls and concrete walls to follow the concept inside. And visitors can observe the tidal change from the edge.

Design Team: Yidan Guo, Cole Davis, En-Ho Chan

Instructor: Firat Erdim

This studio creates constructions, drawings, and performances that explore air as matter, medium, site and collaborator. Our goal is inviting people to engage into the park. The installation is made of PVC pipes and plastic bags, and use fute-system and bellow system to create sound and attract people to come to the park People can press it and hug it to make sound, and different lengths of PVC pipes c an provide various sounds

11. CULTURE - CHINESE CULTURE SURVIVAL

Culture grows in the context of needs and demands of people. To set the foundation of a new dynasty, the emperors usually despite the earlier constructions that represents the culture from past generation. Those construction can be living habits, clothing, or architecture.

By using leftover materials from the previous beam, and using the same materials to create a new drawing. It includes how Chinese and culture survived under severe conditions, and continue the culture

"Informed by the history of radical thinking about architecture in the 20th century yet look beyond to the manner of space making that Indigenous Peoples and Black bodies throughout the diaspora have creatively appropriated various aspects of the landscape and built environment to invent new uses, programs, and forms of visibility. Out of necessity and due to the fugitive conditions of life, these modalities have always been and remain agile, transformable,and fluid suggestive of the ways in which such people have moved through space, negotiated the barriers of social, political, and economic landscapes, and reformulated spatial conditions through these very migrations and displacements, improvising new ways of being.

Proposed a design intervention on the escarpment above Paterson's National Historic Great Falls to consider a project for environmental liberation."

The site used to be the home of Lenape tribe and has been through protest, strike, contamination by manufacturing mills and still in danger now, bodies that include people who worked here, ground, water and air were injured. Though the labor condition is getting better than before, working still become one of the problems that caused stress today.

The proposal aims to provide a space for people who got huge stress or damage to repair and rest physically and mentally through individual and private meditation room, and counseling room to release their stress. To understand the history of the site (manufacturing develop, strike) and Lenape history, culture through different exhibition areas

A. Ground

B. Air C. Water

A+B

A: concrete with metal mesh, glaze and stone panel joint

B: water pipes in the concrete with double glaze joint

C: hallway concrete section

PLANS

Man made catastrophe and natural catastrophe increase the great migration and Native American migration. Even in different time period, under race violence and power oppress, African-American start their migration. The contiuning flood, bollwarm catastrophe as a hidden reason that caused the Great migration, the poor living condition forced them to the northern states to find a better job, have higher salary, and higher social level. And northwen industries at a period of lacking labor.

Yellow part used to be Native American living area, grey part is factory area that pollutes surrounding and and affect river, also here used to happen strikes. The river flows to surrounding living area so that affect people health

"Will utilize techniques of looking inward to unlock creative potential in the design of a private house. It will be an experimental house, on a site of your choosing, that will attempt to move beyond the “dream house” to one that embodies a broader range of subconscious actions, desires, emotions, gestures, elements...Students should be prepared to embark on a journey that may fail. Indeed, we will be embracing failure as a distinct possibility. We will be exploring the essence of the creative act, with its origins in the often hidden 'inner child' who is not afraid to do or say things that might be considered ugly or unconventional or even foolish. As Chekhov wrote, 'Don’t be afraid to show yourself foolish; we must have freedom of thinking, and only he is an emancipated thinker who is not afraid to write [design] foolish things '"

It is a way to explore myself. Backing to the beginning to restart and reflect on self again Looking at my contradictory inside and enlarge them. Blending personal, social, and in-between then affect each other. Each room has its own emotion

Enjoy the contradictory Enjoy the uncomfortable Enjoy the reflection
