SELF-CONSTRUCTED COMMUNITY HOUSING Year: 2022 Location: Shanghai, China Type: Project Housing Category: Academic Works(Columbia GSAPP) Member: Group with Harlan Luo Instructor: Elias and Yousef Anastas(AAU Anastas)

The project tries to reveal the analogical relations between forms, techniques, territories and materials across time and space. These are notes observing our surrounding architectural world and its relations with its milieu. The notes trace architectural practices to enlighten disregarded lectures of architectural history. My partner and I considered how to apply our non-architectural indigenous customs, so to say know-how, to today's architecture.

품앗이(Pum-At-I) is the exchange of labour in the past agricultural society in Korea. In China, the culture of minorities, have been assimilated to the Han ethnic and architecture despite their indigenous culture. Combining these two ideas, we elicited a self-constructed, indigenous housing typology and applied to Shanghai, one of the biggest cities of China.

Migrant workers mainly live outside of the city.

Even on edge of the city, they live in poor condition.

They have been pushed out toward the outskirts of cities.

In center of the city, dwellings have already been formed.

Construction Manual 1

Construction Process

2

Government cooperates with architects throughout the entire construction process.

Before constructing houses, migrant workers discuss with architects about location, material, structure, etc.

1. Construct structures for migrant worker’s houses, lengthening existing columns.

3

Migrant workers receive construction education. After understanding simple structure and building materials, they start to build. Complex education is not required because structures for their housing are only 1 or 2 level buildings built on existing apartment columns.

2. Build up houses above structures. Others start to plan their housings near by.

4

After training, future residents are put onto the construction site. House is built depending on their situation, such as the number of people, or existing column structure.

3. Continuously constructing, residents have formed clusters to make their own communities.

Vertically expanded areas are used not only for houses. They can also be stairs or community spaces.

At the centre of migrant housings, there are community spaces considering the minorities’ identity.

On rooftops, new residents help each other to settle in a community well, sharing works.

People outside of apartments can also visit community spaces to interact with the residents.

2. THE RAMP

A BARRIER-LESS HOUSING TO CONGREGATE Year: 2023 Location: New York, United States Type: Senior Housing Category: Academic Works(Competition) Member: Individual Instructor: None

This project is related with a competition which aims to design senior housing to help elders break isolation. I believe there are two primary reasons why seniors experience isolation: the absence of programs they could enjoy, and the lack of appropriate places seniors could play in. So, I propose a senior housing in which there are places seniors gather and work together.

Shared spaces could increase the possibility of interactions. With the interactions, seniors move beyond basic isolation.

If spaces are based on individual activities, it is less likely for inhabitants to face others, leading to islotaion.

The more shared spaces there are, the more likely people come across and interact with each other.

Shared Spaces Causing Interaction

There are fifty-six units in the housing, and all-residents shared space is at the second floor.

Typical Plan

On a level, I set up a private place for each elder to ensure privacy.

After, I made series of shared places where the number of shared people gradually increase.

Stacked Plans

Ramp connects different levels so that elders from different levels could interact each other. In the end, all residents in the housing gather together.

Ramp is a semi-outdoor space and faces Frederick Douglass Boulevard, giving a nice view.

Program From bedroom to cafeteria, the number of shared people is gradually increased. The increase helps residents who are not accustomed to sharing with others get used to it.

3. VARICLE

COMBINATION OF VERTICAL MOVEMENT DEVICES Year: 2022 Location: New York, United States Type: Street Intervention Category: Academic Works(Columbia GSAPP) Member: Individual Instructor: Jing Liu(SO-IL)

People used to say how others see ‘community’ is very different from the actual living experience within it. Trying to go deep into the diverse neighbourhood of Jackson Heights, I embedded myself in the community and on the streets to address real worries, matters of concern, and issues that people care for. I focused on the current status of the 82nd street station, which has no elevator, to reinterpret the meaning of the vertical movement devices in terms of accessibility.

Jackson Heights, where people from various cultures are living together, started being developed in early 20th century and is now facing facility aging. The 82nd Street station is experiencing the same problem. In the case of public elevators, it only meet the minimum standards. They are usually considered dirty and designed for the physically disable. The city government has tried to install an elevator to inaccessible stations.

Considering Jackson Height’s condition, it may not be the best choice to install just an elevator. Everyone has different body structures. Also, depending on your day to day circumstances, your physical condition may change. Considering all these aspects, I would like to put a series of diverse devices rather than just one elevator so that people can use the devices according to their current states.

Types of Vertical Devices Varous devices, an elevator, slides, stairs, ramps, and rock climbing, are put in Manuel Triangle, a block away from 82nd station.

4. LIVING WITH THE DEAD

CEMETERY IN THE CITY, SURROUNDED BY MUSEUM Year: 2017 Location: Seoul, South Korea Type: Mixed-Use Building Category: Academic Works(Undergraduate Thesis) Member: Individual Instructor: Yoonkyung Choi(Professor of Chung-Ang Univerisity)

South Korea is a small country with only over 100,000km² in land area. Therefore, there are always debates over the use of the land, and cemetery has always been a category included in the debate. More than 1% of the country land is being used as cemeteries, spread throughout the mountains, destroying not only green area but also the natural landscape. Keeping this problem in mind, I tried to redefine the modern cemetery space.

As a trend of dispositioning dead bodies has changed, cemeteries are still located in mountains around cities.

Protest against a new cemetery

Because of people’s busy lives, the distance between cemeteries and cites is too long to visit often.

Surround the cemetey with the museum

Distinguish the cemetery from the museum in the form of a high tower.

Space between the museum and the cemetery and separate the movement.

Users of the two programs meet at the undergound memorial park.

The museum’s galleries are arranged sequentially along the ramp.

The protruded gallery masses mingle with surroundings with the cemetery tower.

Despite of the inconvenience, people oppose to construct new cemeteries close to cities.

Cemetery as Undesirable Facility When deciding cemetery spots, Koreans have been affected by Feng Shui, which explains an ideal spot of designating a funeral area. It still affect Korean people today. As a result, many cemeteries are related with mountains and rivers. Beacuse of these preconditions, they are usually far from cities, and It takes at least an hour away to get there. The distance is a burden for modern people to visit often. However, people do not want to take cemeteries closer. It is considered an undesirable facility. Considering all situations, I combined a cemetery with a museum, one of the most favorable programs by Koreans.

Disguise by Combining with Museum I combined a cemetery with a museum, one of the programs Koreans generally accept without hesitance and put together inside Seoul. I set up a relationship with a museum to put a cemetery in the city. The cemetery is disguised by the museum. Since view is the most direct stimulus to people, Visual block from outside is the most effective way to minimize repulsion.

Circulations of the museum and the cemetery are separated not to be overlapped. Six galleries surround the cemetery building along a spiral-shaped main path. In the overall form, the cemetery building is surrounded by galleries of the museum. Between galleries, while moving to

the next galleries, the visitors see each other through the façades. Not only the cemetery, the museum also get advantage by acquiring unique characteristic by the cemetery and appealing to people.

5. CARVING MEMORY

ARCHITECUTRAL SPACE AS RECORDING MEMORY Year: 2023 Location: New York, United States Type: Street Intervention Category: Academic Works(Columbia GSAPP) Member: Individual Instructor: Ilze Wolff(Wolff Architects)

Can architecture work as an object that records experience and emotion? If architecture succeeds in recording, it will be intertwined with local identity. Harlem is the birthplace of diverse Black cultures, however, layers of cultures have been erased as time goes by. They are not highlighted. So, I tried to combine the Wax museum’s history with its building. This will create another layer of identity for new generation and recollection for those who experienced the Wax Museum in the past.

Raven Chanticleer, the founder of African American Wax Museum, died in 2002.

The wax museum was closed right after the death of Raven Chanticleer.

Families sold the wax museum building to other person.

People can participate in the intervention.

Wax is used as furnitures used by people.

Current Wax Museum Buillding Intervention Using The Material, “Wax”

316 W 115th Street in Harlem is currently a private residential apartment, but in the past, it was used as the African American Wax Museum. In 1981, Ravin Chanticleer purchased the building and made wax figures of Black Heroes to teach Harlem’s citizens about Black identity. Over time, many forums and tours held in the building disappeared, leaving the building as just another building in the city.

In honor of the wax museum, I presented its history and memories on a porch to commemorate what took place there. Rather than creating an exhibition or museum simply providing the history of the wax museum, I created an intervention that involves the use of wax and provides a place where the public can enjoy it while conveying the story of the Wax Museum.

In addition, some parts of the frames are divided into the half, so a quarter-sized, smaller frames are arranged. With the combination of these large and small frames, the form of intervention is more diverse.

About the wax cases, one side is flat and the other side has edges to hold wax panels.

Apgujeong Rodeo, the centre of fashion consumption in 1990's, has been going through recession. These days, there are already new places that can replace the role of Apgujeong Rodeo. The government is trying to find a way to revitalize the business district. Rather than pursuing a shopping district, I proposed a fashion cultural complex, combining various types of fashion programs to get a differentiated competitive aspect from other regions.

To differentiate from other shopping areas, I put various programs, from shops people can approach easily, to craft rooms which people who are more interested in clothes. Programs start from the entrance facing the main street and are distributed linearly in the order of

program's hierarchy. Because of the shape of the block, the line is folded once. Programs captivating people who are not only interested in clothes, but also those who just want to enjoy cultural life.

There is a subway platform that has never been used officially because of changed plans when being constructed in Seoul. Currently, it is used as a passage to the garage by subway trains.

The government has tried to find a way to transform the platform. I proposed to change this abandoned platform into cultural space open to citizens. Taking advantage of the platform that can allow trains to come and go, programs are changed according to the time zone to match possible users.

WAY OF FORMING SPACE BEYOND CONVENTION Year: 2021 Location: Seoul, South Korea Type: Installation Category: Artworks Member: Individual Instructor: Aeran Jung

There are too much garbages in the world. Some of them are not reused even after the recycling process. Architecture has a similar problem; Tons of construction wastes are being generated. Using remaining materials, I explored irregular spaces that humans cannot easily predict. Through unintended combinations with unexpected materials, possibilities for new spatial forms and functions are explored.

Random Material I used common architectural materials that could be found in the studio.

They all have different shape and scale. Depending on the way to combine, there is an infinite number of possibilities.

Various Space I cut forms in various ways and remove materials inside to see how space was formed. There are various spaces inside the forms and we can envision many activities according to the forms.

Lots of offices start remote working. People felt awkward about working at different places in the beginning, however, were accustomed to the situation as time goes. With accumulation of time and action, people got familiar with space.I envisioned the essence of space and developed a deeper understanding of our spatial experiences and how a space are unfolded over time. So, I made the condition and process for perfect place, the accumulation of time, action, and familiarity, with model.

13. RECO; Imaginary Company That Examines Eternal Life EXPLANATION THE CONCEPT OF ‘CONTINUITY’ Year: 2021 Location: Seoul, South Korea Type: Pavilion Category: Artworks Member: Group with Six Members Instructor: Aeran Jung, Sanghoon Kang

Paradox of Eternity 'Eternity' was the main point from the keyword 'Continuity.' Human being has always desired immortal life. However, we had a doubt about immortal life.

'Would immortality always be regarded as absolute goodness?'

It would be a tragedy living an eternal life, remaining without the choice of death. By founding the imaginary organization RECO, we set the situation that they were trying clinical trials at the laboratory. The object was demonstrating the suspicions and the wariness of the immortal life by assuming the situation.

Scenario In 2021, RECO invented the technology to convert the human consciousness to data into the virtual world, making eternal life possible. They invited volunteers to the laboratory to introduce and proceed a clinical trial. During the introduction, the laboratory suddenly freezed. Monitors showed weird images and paper roll started to unravel, showing morse code. These were messages from researchers who already had been digitized. They realized immortality was not as blissful as expected and attempted to send a warning message to stop this experiment. However, RECO interrupted the researchers because their new technology could bring a remarkable honor and profit. Due to the disturbance, the digitized researchers failed to send the message and took the last resort, putting morse code on the paper.
