INTERWOVEN
A Renovation of Existing Factory
Term Fall 2025
Type Group Work
Location Sunset Park, Brooklyn
Instructor Phu Hoang
Our project establishes a framework for rethinking how architecture can support community health through culturally grounded, bottomup practices. The proposal introduces a renovation that positions the building as a flexible armature rather than a fixed typology— an infrastructure that spatializes grassroots knowledge and allows healing, learning, and daily rituals to take form through use.
By bridging immigrant herbal traditions, communal care, and institutional healthcare, the project aims to cultivate an environment where culture and wellness co-evolve and where the building acts as an operational mediator rather than a prescriptive container. The interlace layout becomes the architectural driver: it generates a series of in-between spaces where programs overlap, transition, and coexist. These interweaving conditions allow activities to expand and contract over time, providing a structural flexibility that reflects how community practices unfold. The armature therefore operates not as a rigid hierarchy but as a spatial gradient that supports multiple forms of learning, production, and wellness simultaneously.

In SESC Pompeia, Lina Bo Bardi reimagined the industrial site as a civic landscape rooted in bioclimatic design and community well-being. The removal of interior walls established four major collective zones—the “Waterfall,” the “Hearth,” the children’s play area, and the library—each encouraging gathering and layered use.
The project’s environmental strategies demonstrate a sensitivity to climate and resource efficiency. Operable windows capture prevailing winds to enable forced convection, while the open vertical volumes allow hot air to rise, generating a stack effect that cools interior spaces without mechanical reliance. These passive systems transform the building into an adaptable climatic container. Equally important is the programmatic logic: fixed cores coexist with flexible areas that welcome “messy” occupations—informal uses, seasonal activities, and community improvisation. This dual structure balances stability with openness, enabling the building to sustain a wide range of cultural and social functions. As a result, SESC Pompeia embodies an architectural ethos where climate, material, and collective life are inseparably intertwined.

The Eastern Herb Store exemplifies an anti-typological approach, rejecting the rigid Western pharmacy model. The elongated ground floor is divided by shelves and curtains rather than walls, and dietary therapy. Lowtech adaptations—fans and natural ventilation—mediate comfort and perception. The result is a hybrid program that is overlapping functions sustain community life through adaptability and cultural negotiation.
The mixed-use block demonstrates diasporic urbanism’s resistance to fixed categories, where commerce and residence intertwine. Ground-floor businesses extend into domestic life, while residents overlook and engage street economies. Constantly revised advertising boards destabilize property boundaries, producing a visible messiness that signals adaptability.

Health-related spaces in diasporic enclaves rarely conform to singular functions. Pharmacies transform into hybrids of commerce, healthcare, and domesticity, dissolving the rigid typologies of Western medical space. In this sense, diasporic urbanism is inherently anti-typological: co-adaptability arises not through prescriptive design, but through lived adjustments that continually re-script spatial meaning.
Block
The design framework is organized through an interlaced system of herb planting cores, community cores, and knowledge cores. These cores are distributed across the existing steel and brick structures to produce a continuous spatial network rather than isolated programmatic zones.
Herb drying overlaps with communal cooking; circulation merges with small learning pockets; climatic gradients generate sensory shifts from warm to cool. Immigrant knowledge grows in this way—through experience, adaptation, and seasonal practice. Architecture here becomes a medium through which sensory knowledge is observed, shared, and practiced.

Garden has been created by human actions, nevertheless the life of plants have a far deeper history than human existence. First the plants grow on the earth, then the human start to interact with them for food, and the technology starts allowing the us to grow plants we want around the housing, garden has been introduced as a private land identification, then the city grow, the urban structure starts to forming public gardening and the towers drag people away from the greens. In this project, we attempted to reestablish the interaction between plant and human existence, presenting a dwelling design based on seasonal shifting and climate.

The configuration of the streets influences and delineates the circulationand the spaces inside the structure, Like the urban fabric of NYC, thehigh-rise complex has many public spaces to accommodate variousrequirements and densities. It also encompasses the interaction betweenprivate and public spaces as influenced by 2Ist-century lifestyles.
The concept presented in Delirious New York posits that seeingcities as spontaneous ordering rather than as well crafted artworkselucidates the tradeoff between the size and organization of urbanenvironments. Inspired by the concept of aCulture of Congestion,” theproposal seeks to provide an alternative design that consolidates andintegrates the current program inside the hotel. The Hotel Relocatingproject emphasizes the integration of guest and local requirements,analyzing the interactions between public and private spaces.

window types and openings are integral to the neighborhood’s architectural identity and cultural heritage, particularly in its iconic brownstones and rowhouses. Reflecting styles like Renaissance Revival and Neo-Grec, these windows enhance the elegance and symmetry of Harlem’s historic buildings. Beyond their aesthetic value, they symbolize the area’s vibrant cultural past, especially during the Harlem Renaissance, when homes with large, welcoming windows served as community hubs. Their design was practical for urban living, maximizing natural light and ventilation in densely built residential spaces.

The Culture of Cogestion suggested that the buildings in dense modern cities, especially skyscrapers, have established its own rules. The buildings are less about the Revolution, but more about the grid and how the exterior and interior, the Imagaginary Metropolis and individal life, and the form and function could met and braid its system.
Rectangular tranparent blocks serve as a connection between private and major public space, which contains program sush as reading area, gallery, and café area.
Vertical circulation has been divided into two parts- one is for the shopping center and public institudes at the lower floors, and the other one started at middle and only servces hotel guests to provide privacy.
Within the grid public space, which happened one between another private dwellings, individual working-studios have been introduced.
Other than ground floor public institudes, the hotel contains two major public program areas, provide area for the freelancers to have meetings or presentations.

The proposal was predicated on the notion that architecture may serve as an ongoing public venue that facilitates citizen engagement within the urban environment. The preliminary study of the project indicated that the proliferation of high-rises in Hong Kong is encroaching onto public spaces and diminishing the city’s walkability, therefore adversely affecting the physical and mental well-being of its residents.
A concept for a continuous corridor is offered to foster a more engaging and healthful urban environment based on the urban fabric. It formulates a comprehensive strategy for a sustainable urban framework, developing new culturally relevant infrastructure across the Central and Western Districts of Hong Kong. An extensive metropolitan structure was established by integrating three distinct rotations among four prominent strongholds. The initiative seeks to provide services for inhabitants of all ages, propose a viable solution for balancing land use and public spaces, and motivate individuals to reassess their lifestyles and their connection with the community.

The Canopy is a project that explores the potential of wood and masonry joinery. By designing a distinctive wall assembly, the wall aspires to evolve into a canopy that responds to local conditions while reexamining the relationship between manmade structures and natural components.
The proposition Attempts to integrate ancient construction practices with contemporary technology focus on minimizing material waste via reuse, while also considering the mechanization of lock production. The Grasshopper script may now control the creation of the blocks, as well as the dimensions and angles of the interlocking components. It might also regulate the area required for this construction, so facilitating room for human activities. Connections with alternative materials would be significant. The concept might provide a temporary space in the neglected urban region. The masonry and wood team might also investigate methods for controlling them under gravitational conditions. Additional materials may be included to realize this concept.

Practical experience is essential in architectural design since it connects academic understanding with practical implementation. It enables architects to directly see the evolution of designs and their interaction with the environment, materials, and users. Architects get insights into the intricacies of site conditions, building processes, and structural issues via practical field experience, which cannot be fully comprehended by drawings or simulations alone.
Following chapter shows the cooperation with builders, engineers, and other designers, ensuring the design concept is consistent with construction realities. It facilitates the early identification of possible challenges, such material restrictions, financial constraints, or unanticipated site circumstances, enabling prompt design revisions.
