Master Final Project 2021 Professor Jennifer Yoos
“What if the main ports in the world lost its resources, could developing city pick up the manufacture technology and speed to provide the city’s need? “
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA | 2021
This project is looking at the city Hong Kong and make change on this bleeding pattern of infrastructures. Ongoing trade war, Umbrella
What if one day trade war become more serious, could people in Hong Kong still survive without the imported food? What if one day another wave of pandemic comes, China or other countries are not capable to transport goods, would economy of Hong Kong die? What if the main ports in the world lost its resources, could developing city pick up the manufacture technology and speed to provide the city’s need?
Urban Factory
One of the infrastructures, the free zone was described by Keller Easterling as EXTRASTATECRAFT. The zone is developed drastically from a out-of-way area for manufacturing custom-free goods as a postwar surviving method to a model for thriving city like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai. Easterling did not make a clear statement on whether it is bad or good; rather, describe how this phenomenon evolve overtime.
Revolution in 2014, Extradition Law in 2019 and the pandemic this year has evoked us the problem of over-reliance from the thriving cities to the manufactory in the developing countries (urban-space-to-be).

Urban space has become an instrument that contain mobile and monetized technology. The globalizing world are being displayed through spatial information of infrastructure, architecture, and urbanism with an underlay of some patterns of trading instead of the language of law and diplomacy.

Urban Factory
Self-Sustain Factory Customer • Having entirely different shopping experience than being in a conventional mall by going through workshop, and buying partially tailer-made products. • Opportunity to be contributor to the designs for potential mass production.
Manufactory • Having multiple resource-related factory located in the same building allow sharing recourses, recycle waste from one-another, which reduces cost. • Its developed sustainable facility attract different existing cooperate brand to vest authority in manufactory in this building.
Product Investor • The transperancy of the manufactoring process attract more business and build up good reputation. • As envrionmental protection requiremnets getting more strict in the future, self-sustain manufactory community would be a go-toplace for investors to locate their factory.
Worker • By increasing its community space for workers only allow them to have closer working relationship, as well as increase their productivity • Having office and labotary close to the manufactory also allow faster and more convinient communication from design to manufacture.

This study is to find out which part of the building get the most attention from moving transportation, pedestrian by setting points where most people stops and walks. It turns out that the the intersection between Yi-Wo street and SOGO are being seen the most.Paterson Street is also an essential part of the building as many street performance being held there. It is also a popular pathway for pedestrian to shop. These points are selected because of its threshold change, desnsity of pedestrain or car. Examples are exit of metro station, shopping street, footbridge, tram, etc.

Working environments are essential for workers. Factory in Hong Kong in the past are way too efficiency oriented and neglecting worker’s wellbeing by not providing open area, green space and enough day lighting.

Urban Factory
This model of urban factory is allowing manufacturing, shopping, office space and workshop combine together. Our products in our hands no longer from another country, but by our own people, our own hand. Even if the communist party are blocking all imported resource, we are strong to survive.

Selby Ave. Filling the Commercial Gaps

Selby Ave.
Graduate Studio III Professor Gabriel Cuellar
“The ground graffiti connect the whole street visually and also enable a strong identity for Selby Ave.“
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA | 2020
Along Selby Avenue from Lexington Parkway to Dale Street, there are various local-owned businesses such as Café, barbershops, boutiques, and fitness that contribute to the Selby Avenue community. Although Selby Avenue is filled with local businesses, each store is separated by some residential buildings in between, which are commercial gaps that interrupts the continuity of shopping experience and takes away the visual identity of this neighborhood. To offer a safe, lively, and promotable trading experience for the neighborhood and the merchants, the proposal is to add graffiti on the ground as an agency to bring visual unification to the street.
There are few businesses played important role to encourage social engagement in the neighborhood. They can occupy further to the north, where the metro station located to attract more people to come. The ground graffiti connect the whole street visually and also enable a strong identity for Selby Ave.
31
Selby Ave.
This is a collective graffiti proposal, inviting all merchants on Selby avenue to design the portion in front of their shops. Some newer businesses indicated in orange can also occupy space further to fill in the commercial gaps on Selby.

The graffiti is filled with shops’ names so that people know where they are heading to. It helps businesses to promote themselves, as well as to gain a sense of belonging to this neighborhood.
Selby Ave.
At where most people stopped by for a cup of coffee and even for music Festival, Jazz fest. The graffiti could bring the atmosphere to the next level.
When a commercial Gap like this filled with colorful graffiti, it connects the previous business area to the next one. Pedestrians are drawn to walk further.
39
To unify the graphic in different portions of the ground, there should be a color scheme collectively agree on. Name of their shops are encouraged to paint on the ground for advertisement. Merchants could also change the graffiti every 5-10 years to update the new businesses.

“There are two parts to live/work – living and working. Traditionally, live/work dictated that both activities take place in the same building or unit within a larger structure; however, contemporary interpretations allow for a degree of travel between living and working “
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA | 2018
The client has expressed an interest in a design that encourages a sense of community. This adds a few considerations. One is whether to identify a type of work that will focus the community. Another would be whether to allow non-workers, or non-working families, to live in the community. You must determine types of housing – one, two, or threebedroom apartments, maisonettes, townhomes, lofts, studios – and the mix of each type in the development. Finally, a community may require services such as recreation – workout rooms, swimming pools, etc. - and services such as child care.
Live-Work
There are two parts to live/work – living and working. Traditionally, live/work dictated that both activities take place in the same building or unit within a larger structure; however, contemporary interpretations allow for a degree of travel between living and working – via an
elevator, walkway, or short walk from one building to another. In addition, work may (or not) be separated into two parts – doing the work and engaging with people who buy the work or service.
43
Whatever the back-story up to this point, we are assuming that a nonprofit developer – may be male, female, or a group – has taken up the challenge of providing a design for the site to the north and west of the Art and Architecture Building extending to the boundary of the Tierney parking lot. The non-profit goal is to balance the desire of the city of Minneapolis for maximum density with neighborhood concerns relating to over-building. The neighborhood group has indicated they may be willing to accept a maximum height of seven storeys on the site. The non-profit developer is proposing the foundation of a live-work community that might, in future, continue its extension along University Avenue, between Clarence and Bedford Avenues.

• The proposed church will be located centrally on the site, at the end of the proposed Entrance Drive. Village Clinical and Administration Offices will be located along the Entrance Drive and will be available for use by the public and the residents of the Children’s Village. The Athletic Facilities will be located near the main entrance so the children and public will have easy access to them. • The Children’s Homes will be clustered into 9 individual homes per village. Each home will house 8 children and 1 house mother, for a total of 72 children and nine 9 staff per village. The Master Plan provides for sixteen of these villages, with 4 villages clustered around 1 education classroom pod. The Baby House could easily be accommodated in one 1 or 2 of the individual Children’s Homes located in a Village.
• A masonry wall, entrance gate, and guard house will secure the south perimeter of the property. The east and west perimeters will be secured with electric elephant fencing. The north perimeter will also be secured with elephant fencing but will also include a secondary access point for emergency and maintenance access. • The existing Village Road bisects the site and will be maintained as a private maintenance road from the church to the northern secondary access point. An existing public right-of-way, located to the west of the site, will be used to access the village to the north.
Malaika Childcare Village
• The access to the site will be located approximately midway along the existing public road, in the general vicinity of the existing Village Road. An arrival point / gate will be incorporated into the Entrance Drive, as well as a masonry perimeter wall to the south.
• The agricultural area is proposed on the northeast side of the site. The site naturally slopes in this direction and can serve as a storm water collection point to facilitate water capture and reuse for agricultural irrigation. The agriculture area will include housing for the Agricultural Specialist, green houses, maintenance buildings, sheds, barns, chicken houses, etc.
59
• The public road to the south is expected to be improved at some point in the future. As such, a 60 meter wide Commercial Area along the road has been reserved for future development. A 2 meter high masonry wall is proposed to the north of the Commercial Area to separate the Village area from the Commercial area.

MCV’s vision is to raise up leaders, ensuring that children are exposed to a better way of life. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality of the environment that these children are raised in so that they will flourish and become responsible adults. The MCV village concept is adequate, meets African standards, and is not over-ambitious.

Primary School Classroom Design Rationale Academic education is a key factor in child development. As the saying goes, “knowledge is power.” One of the most important ways to empower children is to educate them, thereby helping them realize their full potential.
62
Malaika Childcare Village
The specific goals of the MCV School Program building include: • To equip students with a basic education, computer skills, and language skills (to include Swahili, English, and possibly Norwegian). Education will be Christcentered and based on Christian values. • To give daily devotions for the training of a generation with spiritual and ethical values. • To motivate children and young people to reach their goals. • To assist children and young people in their homework. • To offer tutorial services in different subjects in order to obtain a better academic efficiency.
While in Kenya, the EMI team visited a unique school concept designed and built through coordination with the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (https://aho.no/en/news/built-kenya-classroom-five-weeks). This recently-completed school project inspired both MCV and the EMI design team. EMI sought to incorporate the curved front wall with light boxes, the open truss roof system, and the creative feel of this new school concept, while also expanding the school building to accommodate more children. In addition to the larger space, EMI sought to make modifications to the Oslo classroom design so as to accommodate simpler construction methods, and create a more cost effective building that would require less maintenance.
