ARCH 4410 LA BREA TAR PITS MUSEUM Ohio State University, Columbus Autumn 2019 Instructor: Galo Canizares Collaboration with Jingxiao Zhou

This project required students to imagine a new museum proposal for the existing site in Los Angeles, California. The students need to redesign the site as well as the building. Our approach began with a simple square grid and the design is oriented around the diagonal axis in order to show a transition from the urban side to native. We created three modules to represent service space, main circulation for the gallery, and public space for the auditoriums. Our main goal is to emphasize the transition from building to landscape. First, we try to use the shape corner on the northeast side and soft corner on the southwest side in order to show the transition. Second, two main entrances were designed for people to experience a complex circulation to a simple one. Also, the facade of the building was designed to provide people inside the building a clear idea of when they are in a different space. The size of the module is different based on the different space. The cladding system allows people inside the building to experience the changing module and the idea of transition becomes more evident. At the same time, the special roof is designed differently based on each module and opened in various sizes based on the use of the space.

The "HILL" is restricted by the grid. People feel the "HILL" in the box from section.

Diagrams

The "HILL" is designed within the grid and is entered through the layer in section.

The circulation is designed for people to enjoy a process of simple to complex visiting perception. Everything including the walls and the skylights are all designed for emphasizing the idea. The "HILL" becomes larger and restricted the grid instead. The "HILL" can be a closed space or an entertainment open space.

The "HILL" keeps expending the box and shapes the box in section.

Site Model Analyze the circulation based on the intersection of the soft and rigid forms.

The "HILL" is added for additional private space.

Attitude

The "HILL" is no longer restricted by the grid and becomes the landscape.

The "HILL" is engraved or cut into the box. The intersections become the exhibition area, the private visiting space, and the sitting area. The "HILL" shape transforms into landsape in plan.

The relationship between the building and the landscape shows a clear idea of the "rigid" plus "soft" form.

ARCH 3420 WE WORK TOWER Ohio State University, Columbus Spring 2019 Instructor: Justin Diles Collaboration with Michaela Urteaga

This project needed students to design an office building on an existing site in Columbus, Ohio. We began this project with the question of which circulation would suit people best. This line of thought leads us to a shocking discovery of spaces adjacent to one another; a grocery store leads to a gym, a daycare/garden leads to an office, the finale is the rooftop restaurant beyond the offices. The office space is distinguishable by a large void that snakes through the entire height of the tower. This core allows for variations of furniture layouts in the open floor plans. Also, the void allows for an interactive space between floors so lines of vision are provided to the occupants. Furthermore, the meeting rooms interact with the core on occasion as the meeting rooms are being pushed into the void. On the exterior, a textured appearance is influenced by a precedent, Dear Ginza by Amano. We wanted this cladding system to create a porous characteristic, so that externally the metallic material gives an idea of continuous evolution as one walks by it for multiple unique experiences. At the same time, natural light can easily come into the building from this facade, while still providing some shade. Big openings are created by the exterior facade, creating pockets of interest for people and it also breaks the module in plan. 06

Light/Facade Lights, coming into through the atrium into the interior space, becomes the natural void for the building. The porous facade also brings the natural light easily into the building and creates the porous shadow to inside. At the nighttime, the building can provide a transparent idea due to the porous facade. People can perceive a different feeling when they walk by the window in the building.

ARCH 3420 ENERGY RESEARCH LABORATORY Ohio State University, Columbus Spring 2019 Instructor: Justin Diles

This project asked students to design an Energy Research Laboratory on the West Campus of the Ohio State University. Brutalism became an architectural language to express the buildings made out of concrete. Creating a brutalist project while working with campus program guidelines is the goal of this design. An important step in the design was experimenting with concrete through creating small studies, which later greatly influenced aspects of the formal language. In these studies, the wooden sticks are utilized as the base structure and vacuum forming these sticks helped obtain a greater formal concept. Curves and stripes are naturally formed due to the vacuum forming process. Using this conceptual model as an initial idea for the building. Making arches and curves through sections and plans in order to mimic the form of the original concrete studies is a driver of design in this process.

Site The site is set on West Campus at the Ohio State University and is adjacent to a busy intersection. In order to respond to the surrounding architecture, the site plan of the building is rectangular in shape. Furthermore, the walkways are created for people to get into the parking garage and nearby buildings.

Section The concept of the concrete model is made as a result of vacuum forming. Arches and stripes are seen from the model view as a repeating formal idea. Bringing ideas from the studies into the building section, the resulting structure has many arched ceilings.

ARCH 3410 LIVE WORK HOUSE Ohio State University, Columbus Autumn 2018 Instructor: Andrew Cruse

This project asked students to redesign an existing residential house in Columbus, Ohio. The project was designed for two small families to live and work on the same plot of land. Separating the public space and private space for each family is one of the important factors in the design. As a result, the arrangement of the walls becomes a significant step in the layout to aid in this separation. The gardens are created to separate the two familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; space and provide private space on the exterior as well. Splitting the space became the main approach which is seen through the final structure. The idea of separation is seen not only in the sections, but also in the plans. In section, the arrangement of the openings and the outdoor garden is designed to correspond to the skylight. In plan, the arrangements of the indoor garden and the wall respond to the openings on the roof as well.

ARCH 3410 ERODED BOX Ohio State University, Columbus Autumn 2019 Instructor: Galo Canizares

The purpose of this assignment is to design a box which is "eroded" by entropic processes. My box begins as a regular platonic solid (dough), and through software mechanisms and simulations, it transforms into another different form with special textures not only in physical model but also in the digital way.
