TOKYO VOID

POSSIBILITIES IN URBAN VACANCY Instructor: Jeannie Kim Completion: April 2021 Type: Academic- Undergraduate Thesis

The aging population continues to be a pressing issue in Japan, where the elderly population makes up a third of the Japanese population. Despite this, they are merely the focus of the design. Many elderly populations were either sent to the nursing home or instead living alone. They are often neglected by the city and even result in Kodokushi, which is a haunting phenomenon in Japan in which the elderly are dying at home and remain undiscovered for a long period due to physical immobility and social isolation with friends, family, and society.

Taking a different approach from many precedents, which create an apparatus and separate the elderly population in “utopia”, an urban solution is proposed to reconnect this enormous but forgotten elderly population back to society.

With the special concern of the oddness and temporariness of Tokyo urban fabric, a series of community infrastructure is designed to increase the bond of the community, linking the old and young in the neighborhood and providing some playful and short moments of escape for everyone in daily settings.

The seismic geographic feature has formed a distinct low and dense urban profile of Tokyo. Many of these buildings are relatively small in size, temporary in structure to respond to the unstable urban structure. These qualities make Tokyo result in many small and odd urban vacant spaces. The project finally grounded in the residential neighborhood of Kita city where it has voids in design and possibilities in absence, but most importantly it has the highest proportion of senior citizens among 23 wards of Tokyo, which are the main target of my design thesis.

This mobile container is the main structure of the series. It is an exhibition pavilion, a slide for children, and also a health station for the seniors. It serves as a pop-up center gathering spot that can be easily placed in parks that lack infrastructure and bring a new meaning to vacant lots.More than a physical architecture, the infrastructure is designed with a community support system to achieve a connected community. All the elders in th neighborhood are given a safety bracelet that tracks their health status. When they are in an emergency, the bracelet will send an alert to the central database and activate the center lightbox and LED screen. Once activated, it will flash and send community workers to help.

TRANS-FORMAL RED HOOK BROOKLYN MIXED USE HOUSING Instructor: Ben Krone Completion: January 2022 Type: Academic - Graduate

Red hook is a neighborhood that is vibrant on one side and shares the skyline of New York but, on the other side, is away from the bustling core and allows the growth of the vernacular culture. With the aim to reinforce the cultural identity and historical legacy, the design strengthens the unique waterfront view through the spatial technique of layering and tilting in order to facilitate the proximity experience of seeing and living between residents and the neighborhood. Moreover, the project has reactivated the artistic community and the hidden local talents, such as the glass-making brewery, by transforming the liberty warehouse into a cultural hub that reveals the making process.

The liberty warehouse becomes a mix of commercial, manufacturer, and residential use, where people can do activities of wine tasting and touring the factory. A sense of hierarchy and boundary is blurred with a more integrated and open relationship making the public more common to the audience.

SKIN SCOPE

SUSTAINABLE DATA CENTER Completion: January 2022 Team: Bohan Lang, Shengnan Gao, Yiting Zhang Type: Evolo Skyscraper Competition

In this digital-driven era, data and informationare pervaded and intertwined in almost every aspect of our life. Our personal and work information, shopping habits, are all stored in the nebulous space that people are often not aware of or even know where it is. The data center of the modern-day is always hidden in the unnoticeable corner, and intentionally “undersigned”.SKIN SCOPE was designed to reimagine a new data center of the modernday, rather than a product of to be storage,the architecture becomes the part of the data machinery, vice versa. The public is invited to the visualizing the flow and deployment of the information. Additionally, the project was also aimed to tackle the potential issue within the data center, data security, energy insufficiency, and most importantly raise people’s awareness of the origin of daily consumption.

21

//DATA CENTER WORLD MAP

//REIMAGINATION The two types of data center architecture that currently exists fails to address a solution of the architectural dead space and invisibility from the rest of the world. The retrofit and warehouse design of the data-political atmosphere acts as plainly a storage facility that focuses on data and does not have concerns with the function of the space in conjunction with people and the practicality of sustainability, security and maintenance. In our proposal instead of treating the data as storage, we create a dynamic environment where data is no longer the sole focus, but instead,drawn out acting as a facade element enveloping and dictating the architecture of living space inside, wrapping around and forming a skeletal membrane that pulls the architecture together.

Second, to mitigate the damage done by the heat generate from the data storage, the environment is cooled by the ocean as it is embedded into the ocean’s continental shelf. Additionally, tidal energy is generated at the foot of the skyscraper to further take advantage of business district in Hong Kong, addressing sustainability concerns.

The facade’s changing light and spatial condition are dictated by two systems that are critical in ventilation and circulation using the hot aisle and cold aisle arrangement.However, instead of the typical need for a 7-tile pitch square footage, the design of data storage racks as drawers saves room and further influences the light condition from the exterior facade. As a drawer is pulled out, the light on the exterior skin facade slightly,

OVERLAY MADNESS BROADWAY GLASS THEATHER Instructor: Brian Deluna Completion: May 2023 Team: Yuhang Tao Type: Academic- Graduate

This project explores and redefines the traditional theatrical experience with a focus on the building process, building technologies, and most importantly, the material. In this case, glass tubes and mass timber (CLT) are the primary materials, also shaping the building envelope and design concept.

Situated in a prime location on Broadway in New York, the project seeks to explore the relationship between the city and theater. Using the technique of layering and overlaying of translucent and transparent envelopes to create a unique visual effect that reflects the vibrancy of the urban context of New York. Moreover, I incorporate the light and liveliness of the city as an integral part of the “show.” The translucency of the glass material is designed to reflect and evolve its appearance throughout the changing light and weather conditions, creating an ever-evolving spectacle.

29

//PROGRAM The changes in scale and the layering of massing have also been reflected in the spatial organization, illustrating how people are arranged in relation to actors, programs, circulation, and public spaces.

The areas with a higher interlocking volume of massing are designed to be open and transparent, featuring larger glass tubes with minimal distortion. These spaces are intended to serve as public areas, offering the audience a clear view of the flow and theatrical effects within the theater. Conversely, certain spaces employ multiple layers of glass and smaller glass tubes with more distortion to enhance opacity, providing increased privacy and control over lighting. This

THE FLOATING BOX

CO-LIVING RESIDENTIAL HOUSING Instructor: Victor Perez- Amado Completion: April 2020 Type: Academic

Few step away from the University of Toronto and the downtown financial core, The Floating box is an integrated residential complex that bridge the gap between traditional student housing and the desire of comfort which aim to fulfill different living needs of diverse constituents in the surrounding community, ranging from student and school worker to large family housing.

The floating box is a dual connected residential tower that can accommodate around 350 people. It redefines the conventional relationship between high-rise residents and the public realm by categorizing the residents into five living blocks, where people share the same living habits and can live together within one block without interrupting others. On every five floors, the residents from the different buildings are reintegrated by public sky bridges, which provide communal spaces for residents to interact from different levels and provide a smooth transition of space. The buildings have a moveable louvered system that gives flexibility in adjusting sunlight angles for constituents while ensuring residents’ privacy from the public bridge platform.

CALLOW HILL FOODWAY MARKET Instructor: Brian Deluna Completion: January 2022 Type: Academic

A journey in a city begins with its food. The cuisine of Philadelphia was shaped largely by the city’s mixture of ethnicities, rich history, and culture. Treasured by locals and former residents, Philly is not only the home of the signature cheesesteak. From rich Italian and Ethiopian food, Mexican tacos to the exceptional dim sum in Chinatown, Philly is a colorful and memorable city with all sorts of eating adventures abound.

Departure from studying the cuisine culture and food distribution pattern of the neighborhood, combined with the study of euclidean shapes, a series of patterns and new typologies emerge. The object form study has further translated the graphic into an architectural language and become a part of the facade system.

Like its diverse and sophisticated building envelope, the market is designed to be a welcoming urban leisure place that fuses a mix of programs. It is a place for play, eating, for immersion, where different building typologies.

THE BREATHING MAZE

COMPUTATION ARCHITECTURAL MACHINE Instructor: Maria Yablonia Team: Haiyen Chen, Jianghong Dai & Junjie Shen Completion: May 2020 Type: Academic

“Breathing Maze” is an interactive architectural machine that investigates the topic of “automated space” in architecture.

The machine is able to respond to the individuals’ movements, serving as an automatic spatial divider for the users.

Once the user approach one side of the device, the touch sensor will detect the movement of the user and activate the roller system and accordingly rise down to create a void for potential space, whereas the remaining ones serve as spatial dividers.

The hexagonal pattern’s flexibility is an ideal geometry to achieve a chain reaction, and each individual module allows a dynamic change in pattern. The project thereby provides a possibility to satisfy the diverse needs for spatial configurations, a kind of spatial configuration that breaths with the users.

In this group project, our group formulated the concept as a group. I am mainly responsible for mechanism designs and produce drawings to convey machine movement into diagrams and other 2D dimensional representations.

NOCTURNAL LUMINA FUTURE CITY VISUALIZATION

Completion: January 2022 Type: Schenk-woodman Competition

A series of photomontages and architectural renders serves as a powerful and visionary tool, designed to eloquently convey the future aesthetic and vibrancy of street life in two cities that have profoundly influenced both my identity and my aspirations as a designer: Toronto and Philadelphia.

These two urban landscapes, which have left an indelible mark on my creative journey, serve as the canvas for a speculative exploration of the evolving urban fabric. In my mind’s eye, I envision a future where relentless urbanization and rapid technological advancements converge to revolutionize the very essence of the city street. It becomes a dynamic, bustling nexus, harmoniously blending the commercial and entertainment realms.

73

Toronto in 2046: King Street in Toronto embodies a rich cultural heritage, historically known for its vibrant mix of art, entertainment, and bustling nightlife. Speculating on its future, King Street could transform into an even more dynamic and innovative district. Embracing cutting-edge technology, it might become an immersive hub where commerce and entertainment seamlessly merge, featuring augmented reality displays, interactive storefronts, and dynamic lighting.
