Flow In-Between We realize that the residents’ need will change over time, we propose the resilient and versatile architecture. The boundary of rooms and units is not fixed, the use of space could achieve its best efficiency. In our proposal, space has no fixed function. All the living space is flowing in between four necessary housing elements: Courtyards as light wells, circulation cores, service cores, and shear walls. The design approach opens myriad possibilities of usage so that we could achieve the best efficiency of the built structure. There is also no prescriptive identical unit in the project, each unit is unique and area of the units can expand or shrink based on changing the family structure. By doing this, there would be less vacant space in the building, the consideration of residents’ changing need would save energy for the maintenance and future renovation.

Micro Community We think the idea of sustainability not only lies in the statistics of the building itself but also in the lifestyle people live. Facing the prevailing culture of consumerism in the US and increasing obesity rate coming with it, we propose the self-sustainable attitude towards living: A lot of things you consume in the architecture comes from the architectural system itself: light, wind, water and food. We encourage people to live close to nature and make use of energy directly from nature, and realize they are limited. We encourage people to walk and to free themselves from the air conditioning. We encourage them to farm and to recycle the waste they produce. We believe through careful architecture design, we can introduce a more sustainable way of living. In that way, the carbon footprint in the community can be reduced by 80%.

Bring Back Domestic-Scale Public Space We transform the traditional large-scale public space into a series of domestic scale front yards and back yards which nourish diverse activities. This architectural move avoids the problem of vandalism in overscale public space and brings back the individuality and the ownership to the residents. The residents are encouraged to maintain their own courtyards and take care of their waste. They are enabled to practice farming in their courtyards and on the roofs. People enter each unit through the roof landscape and walk down a staircase home.

The low-rise architecture and landscape-like structure also advocate the culture of walking which leads to a healthier and energy-saving lifestyle.

Precast Concrete Panel Assembly Sandwiched precast concrete panels are designed to become the mold of the cast on-situ concrete structure so the finished walls can be as thin as possible. Bubble deck is also introduced to the construction to accelerate the construction process. Skylight panels can also work as the structure brace.

Rhythmic Light Wells

Compartmentalization - Individual Study Rooms

Rhythmic walls create large light wells for the bottom floors when some of the floor. The rooms at the top floors enjoy fantastic sky lights.

The fourth floor has connected rooms that allow people to study alone. One room is connected to another. Different chambers will hold books from different topics. People can enjoy wandering in the sea of knowledge.

Pyramid Space In another direction, rhythmic walls create pyramid space with different heights on people’s circulation. Visual connection is create to allow for vertical visual connection. It strengthens the interior porous spatial quality.

Free Plan- Knowledge Sharing The second floor is open as urban boulevard condition. People are encouraged to flow freely and exchange their sparkles and thoughts with other people. Semi-private studies rooms are scattered everywhere. Books are stored at the shelves.

Redefining the Center The binary quality in Philip Exeter library is turned into a spiral motive experience. The centralized image of knowledge is dismantled into self-constructed process.

Mind in Motion Knowledge is never static, so it should be the experience of architecture. This micro-school put the students’ minds and bodies in motion. The traditional auditorium and classroom as the centralized education machines are dismantled into an open canopy for the students to discover. All furniture is movable to encourage self-organization. The school becomes wonderland that allows the students to explore themselves, be self-reflective and cross disciplines.

To See & To Be Seen Theater is about watching. During the period there is no performance. The light-weight floating structure becomes one public platform for people to hang out. The arching structure creates two theaters: it lift the audience as public enzyme for the park. The other half creates converging vision for the outdoor performance.

Shared Memory of Natural Disasters and Lost of Identity

The island has a history of political events and natural disasters. Vieques is ruled by the Spanish and used for sugar cane industry.

It is taken by the U.S and used as US Navy range for bombing test. Tons of bombs are dropped and elicit rebellion from the local because tests damage the ecology of the island and affect the residents’ lives.

RUIN ONE CHECKERBOARD

RUIN TWO FLANKED

Program: Art Platform Objects: Daily Objects

Program: Bench Objects: Existing Furnitures

The ruin is located in the south west of centre Isabel. Everything has been taken away by the hurricane except the ground. The checker board tiles used to be an indicator of inside.

The rhythmical paving becomes the perfect backdrop, which allows local artist and residents to hold outdoor exhibitions on the ruin.

The ruin is located in the north west of centre Isabel. The owner had left Vieques when one tornado hit the house, destroyed the roof and furniture. Surprisingly, all destroyed mattress, sofa, and other objects and their fragments remained in the building and the broken facade becomes the portal to the history. The facade is changed to street bench for local people.

RUIN THREE STONE

RUIN SIX SINGULAR

Program: Community Farm Objects: Tool

Program: Cinema&XR Museum Objects: Toys

The ruin is located in the south west of center Isabel. The house is made of concrete blocks. The concrete looks like stone after the wash of time. The nature has taken over and blossoms prosper here. Large area of soil besides the house is suitable for a community- size field to grow spice and vegetable for daily need. Accordingly, tools are displayed here.

The ruin is the smallest among the seven ruins. The roof has fell during the hurricane and one of the four walls has been missing, which creates the cinematic effect in the ruin. The surrounding is pretty empty so it has potential to extend and server as more interesting purposes for the community, such as open-air cinema.
