Vault in Flight

Instructor: Martin Fernandez / Teaching Assistant: Alex Lee

Team Member: Qira Qi, Krisha Mody, Fanshu Xu

2024.08 - 2024.12

Project Type: Storage Bank

Location: 500 Park Avenue, New York City

（Architectural Redevelopment for original Pepsi Building)

Project Scale: 100,000sqft (GFA)

Concept Framework：

Vault in Flight is an innovative storage bank project with an unique feature: a fully drone-operated retrieval and storage system. The design aims to provide efficient, secure, and highly private storage services for those high-net-worth individuals in New York.

My Role：

My responsibilities included conducting the precedent study, designing and modeling various storage drums, creating analysis diagrams, printing and assembling 3D models, and drafting floor plans.

We began by conducting a precedent study on the Johnson WAX Headquarters, HSBC building and Seagram building in NY.

In our project, we incorporated some aspects and reconstructed several elements from these precedents. I particularly draw inspiration from the columns and the capsule elevator of the Johnson WAX Headquarters.

This project is an exploration of spatial forms using MidJourney’s image blending feature. We started by inputting five detailed images of church facades and five images of modern building facades.

After several rounds of image blending, we obtained an image from MidJourney that became our primary source of inspiration. From this generated image, we identified and extracted three distinct design languages:

1.Interlock

2.Dichotomy

3.45-Degree Inclination

Building on these concepts, we developed our own facade design, showcasing our interpretation and understanding of these design approaches.

I was involved in the design, modeling, and rendering of this project.

PROJECT SITE SELECTION

This project utilized Stable Diffusion to generate visuals efficiently. After completing the conceptual design, a very simple Rhino model was manually built. Screenshots were taken from various spatial angles, and Stable Diffusion was then used to quickly produce renderings and add detailed elements. Finally, people were added using Photoshop.

The main goal of this project is to explore how AI tools could assist architects — for example, by generating visual inspirations or producing presentable renderings directly from simple conceptual sketch.

This project is located on the banks of the Qiantang River in the Binjiang District of Hangzhou, China. As per the competition requirements, I was tasked with designing a service station along the Qiantang River, with a total floor area of approximately 2,200 square meters. This space includes retail, exhibition, and children's recreational areas, etc.

Local government has built a whole green park along the Qiantang River to provide space for citizens to run and play along the river. Due to the fact that the entire riverside park extends for tens of kilometers, small buildings need to be built every 3 kilometers to provide space for people to purchase goods, rest, and visit.

Design Development & Construction Documentation & Administration

Architectural Team Member: Qira Qi, Liu Xuefei, Wan Zhenhong, Yu Lei 2021.07-2023.07

Location: Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China Project Scale: 88,826㎡ (GFA)

Project Overview:

This is a 9-Year Consistent School designed to provide education from elementary to middle school, comprising 24 classes for elementary school and 30 classes for middle school. The main structures include 4 academic buildings and 1 combined gymnasium and cafeteria building.

My Role:

I was responsible for the Design Development, Construction Documentation, and Administration of the building labeled No.5 Academic Building, as well as the large outdoor staircase across the campus. The No.5 Academic Building has a total floor area of 8,521 m², with five floors above ground and one basement level, reaching a height of 21.8 m.

• Specific Responsibilities:

1. Developed detailed construction documents for fire zones, evacuation routes, smoke discharge areas, and facades using AutoCAD and Revit, while conducting thorough code reviews to ensure compliance with relevant standards.

2. Collaborated with various stakeholders to clarify design intent and ensure smooth construction progress, making necessary adjustments to construction documents to address unforeseen challenges effectively.

The school comprises 6 academic buildings, a multipurpose building,1 combined gymnasium and cafeteria building.

My Role:

For this project, I was mainly responsible for the Conceptual Design and Facade Design. Since Pujiang County is famous for its crystal industry, we decided to go with the theme of a "Crystal Campus" for this design.

Location: No. 1139 Shifu Avenue, Jiaojiang District, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, China Project Scale: 43,500㎡ (GFA)

This expansion requires four new buildings, including: two dormitory buildings, a canteen, and a scientific experiment building.

My Role:

I was responsible for two 15-story dormitory buildings with a total floor area of 17,419 ㎡. Both buildings are designed with 4-person rooms, with a total of 1,120 rooms.

Specific Responsibilities:

1. Interacted seamlessly with the client to gather student dormitory design requirements and incorporated insights into floor plan layouts, façade designs, and landscape planning using AutoCAD and SketchUp.

2. Prepared high-quality graphic presentations using InDesign, effectively communicating sustainable dormitory solutions that prioritized student well-being, energy efficiency, and long-term maintenance.

3. Coordinated with a professional visualization company to produce high-quality renderings, contributing to thepresentation’s 1st-place ranking in the technical bidding round.

Disadvantages:

1. The distribution of men and women in the three buildings could not be balanced.

2. There is a great impact on the sunshine of the three existing dormitory buildings in the north.

Disadvantages:

1. The body is too large, giving people a sense of oppression.

2. There is a great impact on the sunshine of the three existing dormitory buildings in the north.

1. The plan occupies too much land, hindering the line of sight on the secondary axis of the landscape on the east side.

2. The body is too large, giving people a sense of oppression.

Advantages:

1、The "L"-shaped layout echoes the layout of the original dormitory buildings on campus.

2、The sunlight impact on the three existing dormitory buildings in the north is minimal.

Huashanyuan Facade Renovation

Paramatric Design (rhino + grasshopper)

Critic: Qin Gong

Team Member: Qira Qi, Niu Mengjia

2020.07-2020.09

Location: Bejing, China

This is a renovation project where the original building was an office building. The client wants to transform it into a combination of office spaces and ground-floor commercial areas. They also requested that the existing facade remain as untouched as possible. Instead, the goal is to achieve this transformation by adding a new layer of facade to the building.

Our theme for this project is called "The East Wind Arrives." The building's facade and plaza are designed using parametric techniques to create a gradient effect that follows the shape of a flowing breeze.

My Role: I was responsible for grasshopper scripting for the facade and landscape.

We developed two design versions along the same conceptual direction. Using Rhino + Grasshopper, we utilized curve control lines to transform the façade into a dynamic, flowing sensation, mimicking the effect of wind passing through.
