01 INSIDE ARCHITECTURE January 2022 - March 2022, Individual work Site:Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve, LA, CA, USA AUD-412 Design Studio of March 1 Program in University of California, Los Angeles Coordinator: Julia Koerner Instructor: Julia Koerner Email: juliakoerner@ucla.edu
This studio introduces foundational structural concepts as they relate to issues of enclosure and the environmental conditioning of interiors. The central theme of this studio explores the relationship between order and structure, each disposed to combine with the other to form larger, more complex, compound ideas and forms. The studio investigates ‘the column’, a structural supporting element within building design, from a non-traditional perspective, and explores the conceptual and formal meaning of ‘columns +’. The studio is divided into two assignments and starts with a three week precedent exercise analyzing a chunk of an existing structural system. The following weeks the studio will explore the design of an arboretum, a building for plants.

PRECEDENT ANALYSIS:
Alhambra Palace Of The Lions, photo downloaded from google
The building that I chose is Alhambra Palace Of The Lions, an Islamic ancient building constructed in the mid-14th century in Spain. I focused on the effect to the light of the interior and exterior spaces by different arrangements and density of the vertical architectural elements including pillars, short walls, and long continued walls, which creates a different feeling of the space from closed to open.

TAXONOMY COLUMN +
My idea of column+ is that I treat 4 columns as a unit in a grid, the mergence creates various unexpected roofs and walls for the interior space. The taxonomy diagram shows the different column+ designed for different programs with the structural diagrams showing the supported structural elements for them.

There are two entrances with the main entrance facing Culver Blvd and secondary entrance connecting the dirt trail at the higher level connecting the site with the second floor platform. I placed main spaces such as botanical garden, lab and herbarium at the north, and left assistance space at the south with lower level in height, which allowed the main programs to absorb enough sunlight. In the middle, there are two courtyards designed with cylinder columns, one for living collection, the other for preserving original plants preserved in the site.

This studio is a comprehensive studio including concept design, structure design and facade study with two quarters as its study length. The main topic of this studio is building reuse. It based on reusing and recycling the Silos or shed that the original site has, which is an old concrete factory. In the concept design phase, students are required to study the relationship between new and old buildings, introducing new building by using "onto, next to, or within" status. In structure design phase, students are required to furture develop the design scheme in detail from comstruction perspective, including the building facade study.

THREE SHEDS TWO COURTYARDS:
Our concept is three sheds two courtyards. By adding two "sheds" next to the "original shed" we creat two outdoor spaces -- courtyards winthin them, which increases the visitor's experience. Besides, by activing the ground level, three sheds and two courtyards are blended on the base level, and connected by two circulation corridors on the upper levels.

03 PROTOPLANS April 2023 - June 2023, Individual work ARCH & UD 289.6 / 289.83 Technology Seminar of March 1 Program in University of California, Los Angeles Instructor: Miroslava Brooks Email: miroslava.brooks@aud.ucla.edu
This tech seminar explored the potentials and limitations of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the posibility of constructing innovated architecture drawing/scheme with AI. The course involved the generation of images from Mid-journey and DALL-E2, the text from ChatGPT. Students were required to pick an architecture plan by other architects as their proto plan to input in AI tools mentioned above and genrated images by manipulating input text and imagines. Students need to find out their own way to push forward the outcomes in otder to achieve their ideal image that can be used to further develop as an architecture plan. With the AI as a large part of the workflow, student constructed an architecture plan and built its 2.5D model by 3d printing.

Me: who love to be in a circle shape building? ChatGPT: people who are interested in cultural or spiritual practices that involve circular buildings. Me: what INFJ people love? ChatGPT: 1. Meaningful connections: INFJs tend to value deep and meaningful connections with others. 2 Helping others: INFJs often have a strong desire to help others and make a positive impact in the world. 3 Creativity and self-expression: INFJs may have a strong interest in creative pursuits such as writing, art, or music. 4 Learning and personal growth: INFJs are often curious and enjoy learning about a variety of topics. They may enjoy reading, taking classes, or attending workshops or conferences. 5 Meaningful work: INFJs may feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment when they are working in a job that aligns with their values and allows them to make a positive impact in the world. 27

HOME FOR INFJ GROUP According to the description of INFJ group's preferences from ChatGPT, there are some programs depited such as social area, helping center, art workshop, writing lab, music disco, library, classroom, meeting room. Then I translated the image on the left side into an architectural plan with imagination of people's activities and circulation.
INFJ: INFJ is one of the sixteen personality types in the Myers-Briggs Personality Taxonomy (MBTI), and the abbreviation means introverted, intuition, emotion, and judgment. The archetype comes from Jungian's typological theory of "Introverts with dominant intuition" . (Wikipedia)

September 2020 - November 2020, Individual work Site: U.S. Consulate in Chengdu, China Narrative Architecture Workshop Instructor: Jess Yu from the Bartlett, University College London, email: jiashi.yu.19@ucl.ac.uk
MAGA: Match American Guideline Apparently. From the US-China trade war to the ban of 5G, China seems to be trapped in the cage made by America. America only admits and accepts China when it follows what America wants. However, as a fact, China is special and strong enough to become a new authority. But unfortunately for most of the public they are still eager to match American guidelines, even just superficially. It is located in the abandoned U.S. Consulate building in Chengdu. The appearance of the White House that symbolizes American authority is in contrast with the popular city symbol: Chengdu hotpot.

This studio introduces landscape as a subject and discipline to itself, students work to integrate building, landscape and urban design to the project in novel and projective ways while dealing with site with original Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) building and water & power problem. The studio starts by studying and bringing Owens Lake, the most successful examples of best practices regarding remediation of water-denuded landscape, closer to the city and the citizenry.
