Chi-M.A.D.E

- First semester 4th year

- Partner: Ashley Clemente

- Museum, Environment Aware, Education, Gallery, Chicago

Chi-M.A.D.E is a hybrid museum that dabbles in education, environmentalism, and architecture. The museum is set on the southwest end of Lincoln Park Chicago, where it makes use of its immediate surroundings to alter the experience of any individual within the space. Without disturbing the surrounding nature, our museum brings Lincoln Park, one of Chicago’s quiet getaways, to a whole new level of serene nature. Our goal was to create a space that doesn’t distract from the enjoyment of a natural space but inspires people to move through and explore on their own.

To create a smoother transition from exterior to interior, The lobby and education spaces have a slanted glass roof with a swirling shading devise to filter the light to be less harsh. The “branches” of the shading devise hang from a metal trelace and flow both inside and out of the building.

The Woven City

- Second semester 4th year

- Clean Energy, Environment Aware, Education, Farming

Our studio was given the opportunity to be a part of the ‘Seoul 100-year Masterplan Exhibition’ in which Seoul, South Korea is showcasing possible opportunities for the future infrastructure of its economy. Our studio of 14 students worked as a team to invision a new land connection spanning the Hangang river that focuses on the biodiversity of a more humanized megacity.

Traditional Farming

Here we have traditional farming of di erent crops that farmers can maintain. We have

Social Area & Education

On the left side of the South Waterfront, we have an observatory deck where people can look at the bridge. In the other building, we also have a cafe, library, and university research lab. There is also plent of outdoor space to allow people to gather and hang out.

Vertical Farming

Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers using controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth and soilless farming by using less water and space, increasing production, and using AI technology. We can utilize AI technology to monitor and optimize plant growth further by enhancing the e ciency and productivity of these systems. The vertical farming greenhouses go through the top two levels of the bridge.

It is peaceful and meditative on the right side of the South Waterfront. It is built for a solo experience. There are a lot of breaks in the land that allow people to be separated from the bridge. The large forest helps drown out noise from the bridge and makes people feel secluded.

Playscape & Education

In the playscape and education area, we have a gigantic playground greenhouse, a pollination building where people can observe pollination at work, and a farmer’s village. The farmer’s village has a market, restaurants, cafes, retail stores, and o ces for workers.

Factory & Education

The factory has three main areas: manufacturing and energy processing, education, and nature of the island. We make the battery here to power things like the city. We can power our bridge and give some energy to Seoul.

In the North Waterfront area, we have many di erent outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy. We also have six landscapes: forest, gridded tree, owers, grass, prairie, and wetland. All of these landscapes have their own bene ts, none the least being that it helps make the city and people healthier and happier.

Grid Lock

- First semester 5th year

- Partners: Ka Heun Hyun, Will Sanders, Anaiah Thompson

- Extraction, Organizational System, Social Norms, Comfort, Power

In this studio ‘Of Futurity’ I and 3 of my classmates explored the connections within extractivism, organizational systems, and our daily lives. With our project we critically analyzed the innerworkings of our daily life in order to get a better understanding of how and why we as people see the world in an extractive context. We came to find that the method of organization is pivotal to the modern humans’ perspective. This project looks into what has been passed over to show the underlying processes that occur in natural behavior and thought, and represented in models, videos, diagrams, and interactive spacees.
