YEOUIDO CAPSULE MASS HOUSING

100 YEARS IN THE FUTURE CONJUNCTION

WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Yeouido, Seoul, South Korea. Fall, 2023. In Collaboration with Andrew Pucey

Inspired by the Garden City, we envision future collective housing in the future to be a decentralized but closely interrelated network of cities. A network of satellite communities separated with green belts that radiate out from the central city.

Alongside this future, to accommodate this lifestyle, we envision a transportation system that moves around pods of living space where you can do productive things or sleep in transit without the chore of driving as you could set a destination and not worry about it.

Our central city, the hive of pods, is an arrangement of space on an infrastructural landscape. Hive of individual pods which are slotted into a tower of artificial landscape. As it is a garden city, it allows us to counteract high-density housing by adding natural space.

“The city is a living thing, and we have to be part of it.”

-Le Corbusier

CLT POLYHEDRA RESIDENTAL APARTMENT

ON TOP OF ROOSEVELT HOTEL IN SHAPE OF SLANT AND SLOPE

Manhattan, NY, USA. Fall, 2024. In Collaboration with Terry Luo

As part of the ACSA 2024 Timber in the City competition, we were lead to create a residential timber structure on top of the Roosevelt hotel in Manhattan NY. The process started with massing and programming using variations of self-filling polyhedra structures.

While exploring various shapes and structures, we settled on using a trapezo rhombic dodecahedron structure framed with Glulam beams and CLT panels.

Design wise, the architecture consists of three apartments connected in the ground floor surrounded by a veil. The apartments themselves are stacked structures of the polyhedra arranged in a sloped position. These elements combine to allow the users to experience the uniques spaces created by the nature of the structure.

ESF GATEWAY CENTER BUILDING SYSTEMS

ANALYSIS AND DOCUMENTATION FROM INTENTIONS TO FORMAL STRATEGIES

Syracuse, NY, USA. Fall, 2023. In Collaboration with Tony Dai, Corrine Soo

In the Advanced Building Systems class, we participated in a semester long project to analyze, illustrate, and document the buildings systems of selected buildings.

We chose to analyze the formal strategies, the structural system, the exterior envelope system, and the mechanical / electric / plumbing systems of the ESF Gateway Center in the main campus of Syracuse University.

The ESF Gateway Center is a testament to sustainable architecture. Serving as a hub for innovation, it integrates advanced green technologies and design principles. The facility emphasizes ecological responsibility while providing a space for collaboration and learning. Its design reflects a blend of environmental stewardship with contemporary aesthetics and functionality.

Triple glazed windows increases comfort by maintaining the low-temperature di erence between the walls and window glass interior surface, reducing outside noise, and blocking up to 95% of ultraviolet rays.

INSULATED SPANDREL

PANEL FLUSH WITH EXT. FACE OF MULLIONS

Spandrel panels are are commonly used to inﬁll areas of glazing curtain walls or storefronts. ey take the place of thick glass units, covering spaces between windows or doors, concealing unsightly structural elements and building systems.

EPHEMERAL PATHWAY OF OLD BILLINGSGATE

CONSERVING THE MEMORY THROUGH RELICS AND ARCHES

Old Billingsgate, London, UK. Spring, 2023. In Collaboration with Gray Warren, Allison Schwartz

We wish to conserve Billingsgate as a place where memory is captured in both objects and experiences. In this proposal, Billingsgate is reintroduced in the 21st century as a market plaza that depends on the memory of Billingsgate.

What we propose interrogates what we know today to be ‘Old Billingsgate’. In our proposal The building has been destroyed and the ground has been returned to the stone surface that facilitated commerce and cultural exchange in the past. We tasked ourselves with making a memory

We memorialize the arches that appeared throughout history in order to reinforce the public place we have proposed along the Thames.

PENNSVILLE MEDICAL CENTER

STRATEGICALLY LOCATED BY SYSTEMICAL MAPPING OF DEMAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Pennsville, NJ, USA. Fall, 2022. In Collaboration with Botond Horvath

The Pennsville Center is a medical center research project that considers incoming traffic into New Jersey in Post-Roe America. The center is strategically located by the bridge on the lowest part of the river near public transportation options. The site is placed hidden within the woods for natural barrier and views. The building itself is layed out to protect the surgical core and the recovery rooms from outside invaders.

In order to provide maximum comfort the building has been designed for daylighting while the recovery rooms are placed at the most ideal spot. Outside of the building, there are pavilions and walk paths to interact with the surrounding environment. Pennsville Center is a single location among a system of clinics strategically placed locations along the NJ border.
