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. 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

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.
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.
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

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 circulation and the spaces inside the structure, Like the urban fabric of NYC, the high-rise complex has many public spaces to accommodate various requirements and densities. It also encompasses the interaction between private and public spaces as influenced by 2Istcentury 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 a Culture 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.

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. The Culture of Congestion suggests that buildings in dense modern cities—particularly skyscrapers—operate according to their own internal logic. Rather than expressing architectural revolution, they are shaped by the grid, where exterior and interior, imaginary metropolis and individual life, and form and function intertwine into a layered, braided system.

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.

Throughout history, the harbor has evolved from a war battlefield to a pivotal hub for international trade, and today, it stands as a significant industrial site. This harbor is distinguished by its deep historical and cultural heritage. This project aims to explore and highlight the site’s dynamic historical progression, using the Brise-Vent Havre as a reference point. The design will incorporate a multi-dimensional approach, integrating time as a crucial element.
The proposal envisions an extension of the Brise-Vent Havre, primarily focused on showcasing the harbor’s history and artifacts. Three spaces are placed based on the Datum, the Brise-Vent Havre. A visitor center contains public facilities will be located on the southern side of the structure, while a movable installation and café will be situated on the northern apron. Each space will feature a specially designed stylobate that reflects the existing structure, enhancing the narrative of the harbor through both architectural and urban design elements.

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.
