site plan

In the Fall studio project, we proposed “A cultural / institutional mixed use extension of CUNY, the City College of New York, a waterside Campus plan for the development of the BNY including but not limited to a core structure (or set of structures) with a total of some 50,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet, dedicated to the physical sciences; oceanic,atmospheric, ecological and environmental.

My idea is to generate space comes from two continuity surface which in between the space can develop and transform the room into a library, laboratory, classrooms, and café, etc. Indeed, my proposal was to make exterior tand interior space has no boundary and makes the campus could be a sculpture inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Dynamic Radical City

Thesis Dedsign | 2017 Spring Studio

Central Park, New York, NY

Lot area: 843 acres

Program: Parametric Design Methodology

Instructor: Jason Vigneri-Beane and Thomas Leeser

Thisis a project explores radical changes transforming the surface of the existing city beyond cities. Conceived how to provide a new urban space in an existing high-density city. The idea comes from what is a space and how space defines by function and form. Original research that addresses a compact urban environment and socioeconomic issues.

Space can be generated by two simple lines also space could form by three-point. Indeed, space could be a single unit or as a cluster has organized composition.

By defined the connection between space relation of the interior to exterior, I found an interesting phenomenon which is the unceasing space sequence. The phase makes me have an idea that I could design space and space would rise by a continuity surface topology. This is the first step to develop a space condition by previous research. What’s the next approaching of the infinity dimension.

I apply the unceasing connection in an urban space attempt to reform a city landscape. The basic function in the city’s ground level is for commute or to link point by point. Yet if the ground level has altered landscape form what the city will be? What’s the novel prototype of continuous urban architectural type?

The project suspended for 3 threes long until July 2017 is completed. Built on a hillside, House S intentionally elevates the living space to provide privacy while offering a comfortable outdoor activity

space for families. An undulating wall running through the building defines the exterior and interior, separating the public space from the private. Within the building, the wall encircles the master bedroom and children’s room, forming the two main spaces, private and secure. Between the public and private spaces on each floor, three staggered terraces provide three different lifestyles and settings, enabling the owner and their children to retain their private spaces but also enjoy enriching interactions.
