This project required students to reconsider the existing new project in Los Angelas in California. The students need to redesign the site and the building. Our project began with a simple and basic square grid and all the design are based on the diagonal axis in order to show a transion from the urban side to the country side. We created three different modules to represent private employee space, main circulation for the gallery, and the most public space for the auditoriums. Our main goal is to emphasize the transition from urbanism to landscape. Firstly, in plan, we try to use shape corner on the northeast side and soft corner on the southwest side in order to show the transition. Also, two main entrances were designed for people to experience a complex circulation to a simple one. Secondly, the facade of the building were also designed to provide people inside the building a clear idea when they stay in different space. The size of the module is different based on the different space. The cladding system allows people inside the building experience the changing module and the ideas of transition becomes more evident. At the same time, the special roof are designed differently based on each module and opened in various size 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 includes 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.

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

The "HILL" are added for additional private space.

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

The rectangle module is created and spreaded everywhere in design.

The columns are set in the order of the module.

Typology Analysis The relationship between "HILL" and "BOX" is The walls are added to create various funtional space and bring more complex circulation.

The skylights are designed into three types to differentiate the corresponding space down there.

changing surrounded by the grid along the diagonal axis in the site.

Site Model

Attitude The project is designed for people to enjoy the landscape and the architecture at the same time. Both the landscape and the building are set on the grid module. The diagonal Model Photo

axis leads a transiton from urban side to the country side. The site model uses the colored landscape and the arrangement of the landscape shows the ideas.

Close View

The "HILL" is engraved or cut into the box. The intersections become the exhibition area, the private visiting space, the sitting area. The "HILL" shape transform 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 a office building in an existing site in Columbus, Ohio. Our design process first began with how we saw the circulation of people that would suit best. This process lead us to a shacking effect of objects onto another: Market to Gym to daycare/garden for kids to office to rooftop restaurant. The office space is distinguished by a large bendable void that travels all the way through. The core allows for a variation of furniture layout for an open floor plan. The void allows for an interactive space between floors so people can look up into them. The meeting rooms interact with the core on the occasions that it pushes into the void. The exterior texture is based off the precedent "Dear Ginza" by Amano. Our interest in the texture evolved to locating on most of the facades so when people are inside it, it created a porous environment and externally the metallic material gives the idea of ever changing as one walks by it for two unique experiences. At the same time, the natural light can easily come into the building from the porous facade. The big openings are created by the exterior of the facade, creating the free space for people and break the also break the regular module in the plan.

Light/Facade Lights, coming into through the atrium into the interior space, becomes the natural void for the building. The porous facade also bring the natural light easily into the building and create 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 a Plant Research Laboratory on the West Campus in Ohio State University. Brutalism become an architectural language to express the buidling made out of the concrete. Creating the brutalist building is the main idea in the design. By playing with the concrete through randomly created mold and structures, the concrete studies become the important parts in the process. Design starts with an draft exercise. Playing with the wood sticks as the structure in the building and vacumn forming the structure to get the mold. Pouring the concrete into the mold become the last step. Curves and stripes are naturally formed due to the vacumn form in the process. Using this conceptual model as a initlal idea for the building. Making arches and curves though sections and plans in order to mimic the shape of the original concrete studies are most significant throughout the whole process.

Site The site is set on the West Campus in Ohio State University. The site is closed to a main and busy crossroad. In order to respond to the surrounding

architecture,

the

site view of the building is designed to be the rectangle shape. Followed by the foundational design, the walkways are created for people to get to the closed parking space and the nearby building.

Section The concept concrete model is randomly made out of vacuum forming. "Arch" and "stripe" shape are easily caught from the model view. Bringing the idea into the building section, the building is designed to have lots of arch ceiling. Many arch concepts are tried to put into the design.

The space in plan try to emphasize "arch" idea by creating curvy corner.

The plan represents the "stripes" shapes from the concrete conceptual model.

The wall and space created are organized by the grid.

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 the Columbus, Ohio. The project was designed for two small families to live and work at the same time. Seperating the sharing space and the private space for each family is one of the important factors in design process. The arrangement of the walls become an important step in the layout design to separate space. The gardens were randomly created for separate two families’ space and provide private space as well. Shifting of the space become the main idea which went through the whole house. The idea is emphasized not only from the sections but also in the plans. From sections, the arrangement of the openings and the outdoor garden is designed to corresponed to the skylight. In the 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 transform into another different form with special textures not only in physical model but also in the digital way.

ARCH 5590 LIGHTS AND COLORS Ohio State University, Columbus Autumn 2019 Instructor: Kay Bea Jones The specialized research on how light works on the modules of facade. The colored glass was applied to the side of each module so that all modules reflect the colors when they were hit by sun at a certain time of the day.

ARCH 4420 REPLICAS Ohio State University, Columbus Spring 2020 Instructor: Galo Canizares In this assignment, I devised a scenario for replicating a real-world objects. Using photographic techniques, I created a still-life scene and then I replicate the same scene in 3dx Max. The goals are to familiarize with 2D and 3D techniques for replicating real world objects and to begin to quantify the parameters by which something becomes "real" or "realistic".
