PIAZZA DEI CIOMPI LIBRARY &
ARC 401A
Fall 2023
Florence, IT
Piazza dei Ciompi is situated north of Piazza Santa Croce and close to Piazza Sant’Ambrogio. It is a simple little square that was only opened in the 1930s when some blocks in the Santa Croce neighborhood were demolished for renewal. It was rebuilt in the Piazza Ciompi only in 1956, re-using most of the original materials. The Loggia, as it stands today in Piazza dei Ciompi, is formed by nine wide arcades, supported by piers or columns. On each side are eight medallions depicting fishing activities and the sea.
The redesign of the Piazza dei Ciompi and its central fenced garden with the proposal for a new Branch Library + Kindergarten, public piazza, and children’s playground, all intended as a facility for the neighborhood. The project is based on the privacy versus public circulation in the existing piazza. Closer to the Loggia del Pesce, a threshold for people hanging around, the main pedestrian circulation is the main road with stores and restaurants. As one starts to walk toward the end of the piazza, the circulation starts to decrease as it turns to a residential area. The project uses exterior circulation to connect the fluidity of both private and public circulation. The program is planned with the circulation where the library is upfront along the Loggia del Pesce and the kindergarten is near the residential neighborhood. In addition, the building has preserved spaces of the existing piazza. Such as the setbacks based on the street creating a courtyard between the library and kindergarten. Also, the front of the library has a setback from the loggia to create the space of a piazza.

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE ART
ARC 2011A
Fall 2021
Los Angeles, CA
Located in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, the 20,000-square-foot museum for Contemporary Japanese Art connects to Little Tokyo’s historic and cultural fabric. Nearby significant institutions include the Japanese American National Museum (JAAM), the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACC), The Aratani Theater, Noguchi Plaza, and MOCA Geffen. The project is located along 1st Street in a vacant infill lot, surrounded by buildings on both sides. The project site has a vibrant commercial corridor along 1st Street adjacent to the Japanese Village Plaza. The Museum of Japanese Contemporary Art is an anchor for culture and public life and a connector from 1st Street to San Pedro Street and 2nd Street. The museum houses rotating exhibitions of contemporary Japanese artists and serves community resources with programs such as community classrooms, auditoriums, and cafes.
Unlike museums that permanently house a specific artist’s collection, this museum accommodates a variety of art installations, including large sculptures and installations that engage the space, and art typically hung on walls, such as painting and photography. The natural lighting through skylights and windows presents the views of the city and outdoor spaces. The circulation of the curved staircases follows the spatial condition to project a relationship as a connection of natural lighting. The tension between art experience and social activities happens in the lobby, on stairs, in the cafe or bookstore, and in the in-between spaces where visitors can take a break from art and relax.
