HYDRO CIRCA Water Treatment Education Center Selected for _‘Pressing Matters’, Publication by UPenn - 2024

This project investigates the informal settlement of Villa 20, located in the southernmost, underdeveloped area of Buenos Aires, Argentina, characterized by overcrowding, flooding, and stark contrasts with adjacent wealthy neighborhoods. Through in-depth research, site visits, and community interviews, we identified the symbolic “wall of disorder” that separates Villa 20 from its surroundings.

Our design intervention seeks to dismantle this barrier by fostering collaboration between the community and external stakeholders. Water, a critical challenge due to frequent flooding, becomes the central focus of our design. By introducing water-related programs, we aim to address infrastructure issues while creating shared opportunities for engagement and cooperation.

[ACCESSIBILITY TO PUBLIC HEALTH]

8

Villa 20 faces significant accessibility challenges, with blocked vehicle routes obstructing safe access to essential facilities such as hospitals and schools. These issues, compounded by flooding and a lack of clean water, have escalated into a public health crisis.

To address this, we propose transforming an empty lot at the roundabout by elevating the motorway, creating a walkable pathway underneath that connects Villa 20 to essential services. Adjacent to the site, we collaborate with a nearby golf course, utilizing its topography to collect rainwater. This water is treated at our facility and returned for irrigation, establishing a sustainable and mutually beneficial exchange.

The facility also includes public showers to mitigate limited access to bathing water. Complementing this is a water station paired with an educational center designed to equip residents with knowledge about water collection and, most importantly, to raise awareness about river health and its critical role in the community.

[RESEARCHES]

10

Our study of Villa 20 revealed long-standing challenges in healthcare, accessibility, and infrastructure. Since the 1980s, healthcare has been a persistent concern, with residents without cars struggling to access medical centers. Surrounding Villa 20 are significant government developments, such as the Lugano complex, indicating potential for site development. However, highways and fences isolate Villa 20, limiting access to nearby resources, including a hospital.

Infrastructure issues, including flooding and water supply failures, exacerbate public health concerns, particularly during mosquito disease outbreaks, as the local health center often becomes overcrowded. We analyzed alternative routes to the hospital, identifying a precarious path where residents climb to highway level and traverse a roundabout. Our goal is to unite stakeholders to create a proposal that improves connectivity, supports public health, and benefits both Villa 20 and its neighboring communities.

FRACTAL FORMA A Tribute to Underrepresented Women+ Selected for _‘Pressing Matters’, Publication by UPenn - 2024 _Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Student Showcase - 2024

The creation of Fractal Forma is inspired by the underrepresentation of females in the architecture and art industries. Our structure draws inspiration from the research work (QR code) of female architects whose contributions have often been overshadowed by their male counterparts. By bringing their designs out of the shadows and into the spotlight, we aim to highlight the diversity and inclusive within architecture while honoring the often-unrecognized talents of minority architects. Through this project, we strive to create a space where their legacies are celebrated and their stories are told, fostering the importance of recognizing female architects within the architectural community.

FRACTAL METAPHOR

20

Addressing architectural disparities, we acknowledge systemic barriers and propose unity through inclusive design practices, collaboration, and ethical considerations. This women center becomes a space to celebrate legacies, fostering inclusivity and representation in the architectural community in Seneca Village. Incorporating the fractal concept, our building symbolizes the architectural world’s exterior glory, reminiscent of a complete structure. However, within this seemingly unified design lies a fractured reality, mirroring the underrepresentation and lack of recognition faced by female and minority architects. The fractal metaphor emphasizes the need to address these internal disparities and work towards a more inclusive and equitable architectural landscape.

GREEN SYNTAX

Sustainable AI Data Center

AI Project integrated generative computational methods, utilizing machine learning algorithms like ChatGPT, Depth Estimation, etc. & other tools like Mid-Journey, Gen 1, Dall-E-2 , Point E, Runway, etc.

This project addresses Philadelphia’s data center shortage by introducing efficient, sustainable data centers, starting with Callowhill. Philadelphia has only 10 data centers compared to over 300 in New York City and 200 in Seattle. The design incorporates natural ventilation, using a ventilation chimney to release heat and reduce energy consumption, addressing the fact that cooling accounts for 40% of a data center’s energy use.

In the design process, communication and training with artificial intelligence (AI) played a crucial role. The initial stage involved editing sectional images, followed by continuous interaction with the MidJourney AI tool and using grasshopper tool to generate the geometry.

The geometry then underwent iterative rounds of shape adjustments and curvature analysis, leading to the final design. Through the process, AI-generated outputs were continuously adjusted and fed back into the AI program.

For example, the exterior skin was developed using the Point-E algorithm, which generated designs based on a combination of Gen 1 video and turntable model videos.

FLEETING FIRMITĀS FIRMITĀS

Reversed Monumentality Selected for _‘Pressing Matters’, Publication by UPenn - 2022

“In Search of a New Monumentality,” a symposium published in the Architecture Review of 1948, HenryRussell Hitchcock defined monumentality as “durability, solidity and large size.” A critical error in Hitchcock’s reasoning is the inherent correlation between solidity and mass. Monumentality is massive, but it does not need to be solid. Instead of stone, brick, or concrete – monumentality can be derived from lightness, density, and scale.

Some initial impressions of water might be that is weak and unmanageable. In fact, water can be strong and stable in different states or applications. For example, when it freezes, as a vapor, or even as a liquid with achieves high levels of coherence. Inspired by the Fairmont water system, which used to supply water throughout Philadelphia, the project followed the characteristics of water - specifically formlessness and lightness - to express monumentality’s intensity and density without perceiving its absolute mass.

[FIRMITĀS]

42

Firmitās is one of the three key principles of good architecture outlined by the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius in his treatise “De architectura,” along with Utilitas (functionality) and Venustas (beauty). It refers to the stability and durability of the structure, with the Romans believing that a building should be able to stand the test of time and withstand natural disasters and the wear and tear of daily use. This principle is traditionally reflected in the use of materials such as concrete, brick, and stone, and in construction techniques such as the use of arches and vaults to distribute weight and increase stability. In this project, the aim is to achieve firmitās without following traditional methods, by using lightweight materials such as thin webs and clean facade materials such as white stucco, and modern construction techniques such as cantilevering and framing.

FIRMITĀS

[SOLIDITY WITHOUT MASS] The use of lightweight materials such as webs and linear elements in a project can create a sense of monumentality by creating a large footprint and expressing the strength and tension of the structure and its connection to the site.

The visual expression of these materials, such as individual linear elements appearing to stretch outwards from a confining web, can create the illusion of solidity and scale, even though each material may appear weightless on its own. The combination of these materials and the interplay between them can create a unique and effective way of expressing monumentality.

[DURABILITY WITHOUT WEIGHT] Monumentality means being grand, impressive, and awe-inspiring. It is often associated with durability and immovability, but it is not limited to structures that are extremely heavy.

A structure can be designed to appear massive and monumental through the use of light materials and architectural design elements such as sunken design, which creates the illusion of weight and gravity, and thus creates a sense of monumentality that extends throughout the site, even from a distance. _013 Section perspective _014 Exterior renderings - sunken deck _015 Exterior renderings - balcony under the webs _016 Physical model photos _013

Red Hook’s history has left a lasting imprint on its architecture, particularly evident in its warehouses.

These buildings feature arched windows, classic red brick exteriors with wooden structure, and spacious interiors that have been integral to the community. On the other hand, the new community that is brimming with love, art, and recreational opportunities merge into the existing community. It offers a quiet, artistic, and inclusive atmosphere distinct from the rest of New York City.

The project aims to introduce the residential units around the existing warehouse building’s perimeter, and strategically places public commons, a “ring” of recreational spaces, nestled within the existing structures, and a wrap that defines the boundary of this shared space. This approach creates an entire adventure hub within the building’s core, while preserving privacy for the surrounding residences. The goal is to draw families and neighbors to the site, expose the art studio to the public, and craft an enjoyable environment for people to discover and appreciate Red Hook’s heritage.

[RING OF RECREATION] Visitors to Red Hook’s transformed community are greeted by a unique blend of historical charm and contemporary creativity. As they approach the arched windows and classic red brick exteriors of the warehouses, they see new unit pods pushing and pulling on the facade, while the wrap leads them to visit inside. When visitors come to the existing event space, they will see the nested system inside the existing structure and how light filters through.

[DEFINITION OF PUBLIC COMMONS] Using the analogy model, the exploration of wrap creates both high and low-resolution spaces. This wrap not only defines boundaries but also offers varying degrees of transparency, ensuring privacy in certain areas. The concept of the wrap structure as a spatial creator or cover is applied to define public commons at specific moments in the building. For example, it serves as a cover for a café, a staircase circulation core with a seating area, or the art studio. The interplay between public commons and the circulation core generates moments where visitors move inside and outside the wrap, navigating seamlessly to their destinations.

Due to the vertical arrangement of public commons and recreation areas along two axes, the wrap and public staircase are positioned perpendicular to the residential circulation core, running from north to south. This layout creates a dynamic interaction between the communal and private spaces while separating the residential and public circulation, guiding residents and visitors through the building in an intuitive and engaging manner. _008 Chunk model, cut away showing public commons

[THREE SIDED FIREPLACE] One of the most striking features of the house is the modern three-sided fireplace. It required several rounds of collaboration with the structural engineer to construct this feature, as it was one of the most complex connection points in the house. The location of the fireplace, below the roof valley, added an extra layer of complexity to the design and construction. This feature required a lot of attention to detail and a high level of precision in order to ensure that it was both safe and aesthetically pleasing.

Addition and Subtraction Our townhouse facades’ design started with a unique perspective—adding and subtracting elements within the original framework, all while considering codes and site scale. This approach revealed exciting transformation possibilities.

Bay Windows and Decks The apartment facade design also embraces this concept. “Addition” represent the introduction of bay windows, while “Subtraction”, as decks were selectively removed for a balanced, modern look.

Japanese Reversible Tea Table

1’-6”

The Japanese tea ritual inspires this furniture-making project. In Japan, the tea ceremony is an essential culture that passes through thousands of generations. The tea table was designed to celebrate the teamaking culture and utilized the Japanese building method - ‘tatami.’

Nevertheless, it instantly becomes a table for daily use when the table flip. It is a design that combines the past and future. The 20-degree angle was well-thought precisely to fit on a human scale.
