SURROUNDING COMPANY The majority of the surrounding areas are corporate, malls, and restaurants because it is surrounded by CBD core regions. As a result, the daily flow of people is extremely high, and it serves as a daily gathering place for young people. However, only a small number of young people of this scale dwell locally, with some living on the outskirts of the city due to the high cost of living in the area.

SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

First and foremost, BHDP's office building is in a prime location, and it is surrounded by several notable structures in Cincinnati and Highway. This resulted in an increase in the number of people in the area.

The Number Of Peopel

Duke Energy Convention Center

ENCLOSED INTERIOR SPACE.

INTERNAL GREENERY.

FACADE.

BALCONY.

The interior layout is too tight and there is no open space

Most of the interior is studios, offices, tables and chairs. There are not many green plants

The facade is overly simplistic and similar to the surrounding buildings

No balcony can provide employees with the opportunity to breathe fresh air and relax.

INFLUENCE

Our position is undoubtedly very well connected, given it is one of Cincinnati's main entrances. It is very close to the city center, and it is on the right side of our site. Many people will approach Cincinnati through the Fort Washington Way, which is directly in front of us.

The former BHDP building has a facade that is quite similar to the neighboring buildings, with no prominent points, and I had no idea it was an architectural design firm until I passed by. So, if we remodel it, it will have to be the most visible structure in the neighborhood, and everyone who passes by will remember it.

MASS ANALYSIS

SECTION AND DETAIL Double-deck ventilation and rain-proof louvers

STEP 1 Main Structure of I beam

First of all, the interior space is opened, and the outside scenery is introduced into the interior, so that people who are near the inside can also see the outside scenery. And it can also work on the internal platform, which is a good solution to the situation that is too depressed inside.

Stainless Steel Fixture Ventilation Overhaul Cavity White Spotted Glazed Glass

STEP 2

Medium Gray Backing Aluminium Sheet

At the same time as opening the central space, because more sunlight is needed inside. So I cut one vertically and one horizontally. And some outdoor balconies are designed on the facade, which can make people relax when working.

STEP 3

Because I had to cut some parts, it would be inconvenient for some floor slabs, so I built some sky corridors and improved the streamline for aesthetics.

STEP 4

Finally, aside from the location of elevators and stairs, there is the creation of floor slabs.

SITE ANALYSIS

A. Seward (william) Park and Goudy (william) Square are the only two parks in the area that have children's play facilities, but the features are simple and devoid of design. Because of the large size of Seward, we chose Goudy's smaller park for renovation.

FUN CITY What this collage wants to express is to hope that children can have more of their own happy world in the city. The pink hue is to express the child’s naivete, and hope not to reduce the happiness of children just because they are in the city.

This time we chose Chicago, one of the largest cities in the central and eastern United States. Chicago belongs to the state of Illinois, and it is also one of the most prosperous cities in the United States. With the changes in recent years, more and more candidates are not here to nurture the next generation, because Chicago ranks third in crime rate in the United States, and although there are green spaces or open spaces in the city, there are not enough playgrounds.

B.These two pieces of land are the most suitable for new children's playground in the whole area. The existing playground is far away, so adding a new playground in the middle can better improve the coverage area , and children don’t have to worry about being too far away.

RENDERING

The entire design uses a parametric design, and the entire playgarden is designed to integrate into the entire city, so each amusement facility is given a sense of design.

By splitting squares of different sizes into different shapes with Grasshopper, and creating a frame at the pick line, more special shapes can be created faster to meet design needs

HIVE SWING

ARTISTIC STAGE GENETIC SLIDE I created three sorts of public facilities for the neighboring residents in addition to the primary three recreational facilities.

The first is the stage, which can be used to fulfill the desires of children who want to perform and, secondly, to meet the needs of Street performer. Children can simultaneously play and listen to music in this manner.

FAN CLIMB ROCK

MUSIC HOUSE

Followed by a small music room, the middle part has a Tubular Bell. This space is more enveloping, and children can make different tones by tapping copper tubes of different heights inside and form echoes.

This is a good way to cultivate the child's musical talent.

The third is a small station, which was originally located in our site. So I remodeled it more in line with our playgarden style.

People can play in the playgarden with their children while waiting for the car.

Based on the comprehension of the project and its site, following the expect of ecology and interaction, an inspiration of Green Vally is presented. The "Green Valley" will be the oasis in the crowded city.

For children, the concave green valley is like a harbor, which embraces the children who came here with safety and naivety. And the various landscape in the valley encourages children to discover the nature and the city.

I like to record the trivialities of life with my camera because I often work at Studio and people always ask me what studio is like, so I created this set of works to record the studio and my comrades in my eyes.

Nuevo Laredo train station final semester group assignment, If we have more time on this project, it will be amazing and detail, but I graduated early, so I didn't have chance to continue. The role of the train station is to alleviate the difficulties of Mexican residents to enter the United States, including high-speed rail and the subway in the city of Nuevo Laredo. The design incorporates the undulating terrain around it into the design, and those diagrams was made by me. I really like it.
