Station Typology Analysis

14th Street / 6th Avenue Station, Manhattan

While some stations share the same typology, each station is in an unique condition and faces different surrounding contexts and therefore makes every

station a distinctive challenge. Solutions often involve

installing new elevators and providing supportive stair

or ramp. The attention the spatial organization in each

station, ADA standard, and how is the addition structure interacting with the environment within is critical.

The new 42nd Street Connector was envisioned to ease

circulation between two high-trafficked stations, 42nd StTimes Square and Bryant Park, via a new underground

corridor configured from “found space,” granting access to four additional trains. The new corridor was developed by

repurposing abandoned track, underutilized infrastructure spaces, and navigating the labyrinth of existing underground areas.

Through the integration of updated technology and new stairways

to the 6th Avenue line platforms, the passageway serves as a

transformative infrastructural

addition, completing the unification of three 42nd Street stations and increasing total access to an

unprecedented 16 subway lines.

An expansive permanent artwork by Nick Cave, commissioned by MTA

Arts & Design, runs 360 linear feet of the passageway, spanning the

Connector’s North and East walls.

Along with the architecture, the

42nd Street Connector engage the

customer in a colorful visual journey and demonstrate the potential for infrastructure to inspire, inform, and invigorate the passenger experience.

The Siza House (Reception House) at Taifong Golf Course is the first major project of Alvaro Siza in Taiwan. The original course has been established for over 30 years and the club house is in dire need of a thorough renovation to serve

the customers. While the renovation of the club house proceeds, the golf course wished to maintain its daily function.

Therefore, a new club house and a temporary reception house are planned out in phases of construction in order to keep the services running and provide necessary support to the players.

The first phase of the

construction is to build the

temporary reception house

next to the original club house.

After the reception house

is completed, the old club

house will be demolished and replaced with a 4-times big,

well-rounded functioning new

club house in place . As soon

as the new club house finishes, it will become the main serving

building for customers, and the reception house will be kept as a supporting facility.

Nestled into the slope, The Siza House has four stories along the Golf Course

approach avenue and embraces the visitors, but only one story where it is level

with the Green. It features exposed concrete, angular cuts, open spaces, and solid surfaces, with shadows and reflections formed by light falling on the building from

above. The Siza House has all the necessary facilities that allow it to run as a full-

functioning club house with changing rooms, shower rooms, dining rooms, and cart parking among other social event venues and administrative offices.

In the context of a very dramatic landscape, the building perfectly blends into its background and set in a

sequence that facilitates the movements that are specific to the game: the waiting, the warm up, the beginning and ending. The hierarchy and overall planning of space relationships were established through careful coordination among the client, the architect, and the golf course management team. Varies spaces are

fragmented into individual geometries, complementing one another while reducing the massing of the building

at the same time. “Nothing is haphazard, nothing is unjustified. The relationship between space and function is

everything.“ as stated by the architect, The Siza House is undoubtfully an excellent incarnation of Form follows Function.

Taitung Art Complex is a project launched by Taitung City Government, aiming to establish a culture park that welcomes visitors to enjoy the intimate relationship with artists and participate in culture events. The government wish to offer

facilities to support and preserve the various form of art from the aboriginal people in the county. Along with the existing performing space, this project offers more opportunities of culture and social events happening in the city.

Taitung is the least developed county in the country, therefore this project strive not to create huge building volume to contain the required program. Instead, the team break down the required program into individual building blocks and

scatter them on the site, in order to create an atmosphere of an art village where visitors and the artists are able to have a closer interaction and deeper understanding of each form of art.

Digital images has become the primary and essential

medium for human to recognize the world. In a digital

image, each pixel contains its own RGB color information and accumulatively construct a recognizable image. This project interpret this mechanism to an unconventional approach of analyzing the urban context by its spatial

properties, and further construct habitable spaces that seamlessly blend into the existing environment.

The methodology pixelate the city into fragments and analyze the properties contained within. Each

fragment is consist of its own spatial properties, which can be recognized as the RGB information in a

pixel. The intensity of “Outdoor Activity”, “Green Coverage” and “Recreation Activities” are chosen to be the three prime parameter and being mapped in gray scale and indicates the intensity of the attribute.

Through previous analysis, several fragments are determined where the property has its highest intensity.

The goal is to fill these fragments into the site and eliminate the heterogeneous vacant area according to

the surrounding conditions. By inserting these space fragments, the construction removes the blank area and make the spacial properties distributed in harmony and blend into the adjacent environment.

The multi-function space is the outcome of an algorithm. This process considers the spatial properties of

the urban fragments and juxtapose them according to their similarities. Instead of visually coherence, the generated space blend into the environment according to the continuous spacial experience.

Architecture has always been digital in terms of quantifing and indexing human interaction with space and program by categories and dichotomies. Elenemtal Procedures argues that architecture can be conceptualized as a

digital composition, where individually significant objects aggregate and compose larger constructs of space and form. By specifying a curation of architectural elements

adn manipulations, Elemental Procedures acknowledges and subverts the significance of thee elements, and speculating on new potentials of architecture.

Elenemtal Procedures intersects the cultural coding of these elements’ functions and organizations

with a digital coding, manipulating the geometry

unrestricted by gravity, physical materiality, solidity, or rigidity, as well as being unburdened by the

preconceived biases of organization and orientation.

Then the designers investigate and interpret

the results, capitalizing on a human’s ingenuity, creativity, and physical understanding.
