10 40A new THeory on

Housing

The concept of the project

is to rethink urban housing

socially and differently, not as

a large super block but trying

to establish a certain hierarchy

of individual within family,

within community, within larger

community within the city. the

scale with 400 inhabitants instead

of 300 units and break it up into

10 groups of 40 people, using

the abstract cube as the initial

architectural components to

organize the concept. Based on

that experimentation was done

with different modes of stacking

to create connection, circulation,

interaction with the ground

and framing moments of access

and plaza, curates the views and

environmental exposure.one simple

move for each cube that defines

the spatial,formal and social

logics and their connectivity

or separation..one simple move

for each cube that defines

the spatial,formal and social

logics and their connectivity or

separation.

The project seeks to create a space for the

emergence of a public center and shaping

the cultural identity of the place through

providing vibrant public space and program.

Through careful treatment of the site and

blurring the building with nature, the new

gym will provide an environment for public

health and community life.

1. Site

Our project reimagines the site,

situated in an incredible mixture

of rural and urban conditions. The

existing building is an island, sitting

flat on a steep hill, negating its

natural context and isolated from

the larger sport complex. To inte-

grate architecture and landscape,

the project is a series of land

operations that smoothens and

cuts, lifts and sinks the topograph-

ic surface to create a new formal

extension to the landscape.

2. Green River

The Green River is a three-dimension-

al ribbon that cuts through the

building and defines the relation-

ship between interior and exterior.

The Green River operates at multiple

scales - at the architectural

scale, it links and forms the four

entrances at various elevations,

doubling as a promenade and a

jogging track. At the urban scale,

it is a floating green infrastruc-

ture that connects the building to

the public plaza and the adjacent

sports complex.

3. Structure + Program

The building is a layering of pro-

gram, like an onion. The central

volume houses the main multi-pur-

pose gym. The periphery is a ring of

open and public programs such as

daily sports facilities, lounges and

exhibition, optimizing the conditions

of space, light and ventilation,

while all the storage, retraceable

seating, service, circulation and

private programs including office

and changing room are carefully

tucked into a thickened structural

belt.

4. Nature

Integration of architecture and

landscape adds to the public qual-

ity of the building. The building

generously incorporates natural

elements into the gym. The exterior

structural wall is punctured with

large openings framing views and

vista to the mountainous surround-

ing and thickened to house various

gardens further bringing nature

into the building.

5. Community Life

The project seeks to create a space

for the emergence of a public cen-

ter and shaping the cultural identi-

ty of the place through providing

vibrant public space and program.

Through careful treatment of the

site and blurring the building with

nature, the new gym will hopefully

provide an environment for public

health and community life.

Mechanizing

Fabric form

Mechanizing fabric form work is a

study in which Lao Guo and I worked

as a team to create a system where

fabric form can be controlled to a

machine like precision. The task in-

volved creating a Kangaroo script

to simulate the form and than trans-

late that into reality through Firefly

and WeaveBird. To bring what was in

the computer to reality we created

a tower that controlled 4 points on

the fabric like our simulations. The

machine is able to take precise numbers

using in kangaroo and translate them

to reality giving us the desired shape

that was simulated.

Latent Khora is an audio visual

installation that tries to explore the

idea of representing a space through the

sounds it produces. The program that

was written using Processing and Max MSP

captures sound of the space and creates

an abstract representation of that space.

Looking back at the drawing one can try

to imagine a new space, a space that has

some representation of the old one, but

is completely new.
