ANGELA YANG AND DAVID KAWAGAThis Live/Work Wood Lab is part of an artist collective located in the heart of Georgetown. It is centered around creating a space for carpenters and furniture fabricators. The space combines the utility of a fabrication lab with the concept of short term
rentals to create a artist residence. It aims to capture the feeling of domesticity and its relationship to flexibility in both life and work. Built on a 10’x10’ grid, the goal was to maximize space and introduce modularity.

Centered in the heart of Capitol Hill, Seattle, “Addressing the Undressing” addresses the propmt to “make Seattle cool again.”
Inspired by the works of Peter Zumthor, this project considers the functionality of such a
service space and the circulation of its users between the gendered wings. Capitol hill is also known for its gender fluidity, thus this bath house is meant to serve the community through gender-seperated days and gender-neutral days.

Hill Block was once a thriving African American community in Albina, Oregon that displaced due to urban renewal for the expansion of Emanuel Hospital. This year’s 2023 Barbara G. Luarie NOMA Student Design Competition prompts
encompassing a business incubator, retail space, community space, affordable for sale homes, and affordable rental housing units. Our teams main focus was generating a space represenatitve of Albina and returning it to its former,
Albina’s Black community was denied homeownership, divested from, and displaced by the construction of the I-5 freeway and Legacy Emanuel Hospital.
Homecoming is a term that brings forward the question of how architects and their designs can help people restore their sense of belonging. Our project, Hill Block’s Homecoming,createspublicspacesfortheentirePortland Albina community. We’ve approached the maximum FAR to provide an additional 44 rental housing units on top of the 100 housing units envisioned by the competition.

As a proposal for a new design-build curriculum and studio space under the University of Washington, this class partners the “design” and challenges of underdeveloped bio materials into the “build” in using materials in real construction as a means to prove its feasibility and
likelihood of replacing mainstream construction products.
This design build studio focuses its area of study on the building methodologies of biomaterials. As a means of “proof of concept”, the studio spaces embrace the natural wear and tear observed over a year.
