HAND DRAWINGS Using different kinds of techniques and mediums to practice the hand drawing skills. Even though, nowadays we use different computer softwares as design tools, I believe that we need to know how to produce a drawing in short period of time. We usually sketch out our ideas and thoughts of the relationships between space and people, connection of outdoor and indoor. Sketching is requried in every single step of design process. In my practice, I learn not only sketches, but also the rendering with watercolor, markers, charcoal, ink and chalk.

MODEL MAKING Work House Los Angeles I West Hollywood l California

Fall 2013 l California College of the Arts l Material & Methods l David Maynard

HAND MADE

Understanding the details of the primary elements of the building such as floor, roof, walls and openings of the “Work House� designed by Guthrie and Buresh, our team needed to build a section of the building. Since, the building has rectangular volume, long and narrow, we three members selected the longitudinal section to learn about how work space and living space are interlocking orthogonally formed spaces in simultaneous and multiple containment and release. In model making, we used rockite for concrete and bass wood for plywood and MDF for the foundation.

Exhibition Hall for “Free China” Junk San Francisco l California

FREEDOM

SALING

The Chinese junk boat called “Free China� was constructed for sailing in 1955 by five young men to set out on a jounery. Even without sailing experience, it was successfully sailed across the occean, from Taiwan to the United States. Recently, some portions of the Junk were destroyed and it will not be a good idea to display the junk in outside atmosphere.

ADVENTURE

EXHIBITION HALLS

HISTORIC RESOURCES The site is rich in historical character derived from a convergence of cultural and natural resources, associations with historical events, and distinctive design. The site itself is included in Northeast Waterfront historic district, part of a former maritime and industrial district that has evolved into a vibrant urban neighborhood.

EXHIBITION HALLS RESPONSE: To infuse the building with certain sensitivity, to explore the adventure work of sailing the “Free China� junk from Taiwan to America, to integrate the outside and inside atmosphere, and to prepare the exhibition space for the current usage and the future usage.

-The “Free China” Junk itself have the spirit of sailing in the ocean under the sunshine, the large network roof structure which covers the Free China Junk, allowing natural daylight and also protect from direct sunlight.

-The massive transparent glass wall is designed in the facade of the building, stands dominently along the Embracadero Street. These glass walls’s are operated differently during the Day time and the night time since in the future, the hall will be used as the Exploratorium pavillion.

-The Brick wall is designed for the offices, located on the west, to have a consistency with surroundings and to have privacy.

CONTINUITY With the use of the geometric shape of the infinity , the building itself provides a continuous path in a public open space. With two different inner courtyards: the marsh and small gardens, people can sense the outside atmosphere even when they are inside the building. Meanwhile, it creates the active public space with the combination of 24 hour accessible routes and daytime accessible routes.

Visitors can circulate through different paths: coming down from the top of the slope, going up from the bottom of the slope and the middle pathway, which connects directly to the library. Since, the circulation is the same as the infinity sign, visitors are forced to go around all the program spaces by experiencing outside atmosphere.

Visitors can sense the outside atmosphere even when they are inside the building. Circulating around the building, people also can enjoy the marsh and the activities inside the program spaces at the same time. If they are in the program spaces, they can see the panoramic view of the presidio. In that way, the building provides the horizontal program arrangement which gives clear linear organization, vertical hierarchy of program spaces and diagonal relationships.

WATER IN THE STRUCTURE HOTEL NEAR TOURIST ATTRACTION NEW YORK l NEW YORK

Spring 2014 l California College of the Arts l Studio 2 l Jason Anderson, Eric Bloom, Lian Eoyang

HOTEL The site is located near the High line, New York, which is the tourist attraction, designing the aquarium in the hotel creates a new atmosphere for all visitors. They have a chance to get different experience even though they pass through the hotel by looking up the aquarium or going inside the hotel and experience the outdoor aquarium. Moreover, the sense of water brings peacefulness and pleasantness to the users of the space.

Dividing the main play area, the central core into three sections as swimming pool, aquarium and the waterfall, the hotel will be full of different spatial events and it will become active in both day and night. In that way, more people will come in and enjoy open public spaces which is directly connected to the High Line Level.

The Geothermal water system is treated in the underground and it is used for all four seasons in New York, and water is running through the whole structure of the building including the one which is holding the aquarium and swimming pool. All the structure and trusses are exposed to outside the show the community that how water is essential and treated in different ways.

The whole building is connecting the hotel rooms and the circulation path by using bridge system. There is no actual floor plates running through each floor. Only the back of the building, which is the center circulation area has floor plates. The rest are intertwined with individual sleeping plots and the bridge.

“Any work of architecture that has been designed.

Any work of architecture that has the potential to exist, or that exists, was discovered.

It wasn’t created; our role is to be the discoverer, not the creator.”

Glenn Murcutt.

-Within these two years, I learned about the process of designing and constructing a space, building or an object. In every project, I start from mapping and researched about the surrounding atmosphere of the site. Based on the proposal of the project, I explore about the connection between the content of the project and my study of the site. Relating these two things, form of the building, organization of spaces and circulation are designed.

- I need to more focus on choosing materials, designing new systems to create green environment.
