Reversed Space Two design approaches (point and line, plane and surface) are used to create a space with two opposite images. A tall and large opening lets great amount of light and air to enter which attracks people, but as people enter, the space gets smaller and surrounding walls are constructed with steep angles. At the end, they have to crawl under thestructure through a small opening to exit.

Picked and pulled planes create different opening sizes that change the perspective of the folly at the entrance and the exit.

Structure for Unsupported Bodies

A wooden structure is made to hold an unstable motion of two people who are leaning against each other back to back.

The form of the structure is designed to only fit into specific bodies.

The structure is made with several layers of thin woods for stronger support.

Reinterpretation of the Space

Using a 10x10x10 space in higgins hall, I created an imaginary space with continuous staircases, where gravity isnt applied.

After constructing the space digitally, I layered the plan and elevations of the space to make3-dimensional drawing.

For an analogue drawing, I attached the plan and elevations as how the space was constructed, and extruded them to express3-dimensional space.

Solid, Void, and Components

Using the volumes which are extrusions of a shape and its variations from the axonometric drawing from a townhouse analysis, a void iscreated.

In the model, the solid and void are reversed due to removal of an exterior solid wall.

Another shape from the axnometric synthetic drawing is used for the components. The shape is folded into 5 different ways creating 5 components. Then, they disperse andinterconnect to each other within the space.

In the model, components had to be shifted due to the weight balance.

Body Motion

In the composite body motion photo, one person is leaping and another is cartwheeling. They start their activities opposite from eachother, and switch sides at the end. There are drawings of composite body motions, leaping, and cartwheeling. The first drawing is geometries that arms and legs create, and the second drawing is lines that connect eachbody joint

a. composite b. leaping c. cartwheeling

Desynchronized Harmoney

A space is designed for two occupants who are derived from the body motions. Leaping represents a ballerina and cartwheeling represents a breakdancer. They have opposite personalities (a break dancer is extroverted while a ballerina is introverted) ,but in the space, they use space harmonically.

A space is composed of 3 floors, which are intersecting floor planes, and each of the occupantuses space diagonally.

The major structure is parallelograms and is same for both of the occupants. However, other details such as wood sticks or glass planes follow the characteristics of the occupants. For example, the break dancers first floor is open to public, connected with the stairs of the public space, wherethat of the ballerina is hidden behind the gate.

c. body motion modeld. body motion drawing e. body motion model diagram

f. hybrid model (parallelogram + body motion)

To navigate through the space, two occupants must go through the breakdancers entrance since it is the only connected space from the sidewalk. The second floor is has a long hallway, which is their communal practice space. The third floor is the bedroom. The ballerinas bedroom faces the street indicating that although she is an introvert, she likes to observe people. The breakdancers bedroom faces the backyard meaning that even though she is outgoing, she needs some privacyof her own.

In drawings, lighter magenta represents the ballerina, and darker magenta represents the breakdancer.

House X Analysis

Using L extrusion, which is a basic geometric system in House X, as a motif, I constructed a drawing that shows the specific moment in the house, which is the collision of the two Lextrusions of each quadrant.

The collision space is shown throughout the rotation from worms eye view to the side elevation of the quadrant.

Sensory Botanical Research Center

Locating on Grand and Chrystie street in Chinatown, New York City, Sensory Botanical Research Center provides not only a space to study nature, but also to see and feel the nature.

The research center is designed in three systems -- multi-funtion, nature and shadow,continuity of the volume

Columns : Columns have triangular structuralsupport system in the corners of its parellelogram shape. MEP takes place insidethe support system. The hole in the center is for exhibition. This is a space for therecent study of botanical speicies. The column also provides seating area betweenthe support system.

Envelope : The envelope on Chrystie streetcarves into the floor planes, allows itself tobe facade and columns at the same time.

Bookstacks : Bookstacks are laid out to workas walls. They create selfenclosingspaces, which become individual study spaces

To create a botanical research center where individuals can experience the nature the fullest, the facades are designed to accordingto the nature in the surrounding.

The facade of Chrystie street is affected bythe trees from Sara Roosevelt park, which is located on the opposite side of the site. Toutilize the casted tree shadows on Chrsytie side, the majority of facade consistsof glass, allowing the shadows to enterinto the building.

The facade of Grand street is affected by theneighboring buildings shadows. Toprevent the nonnature elements from entering the building, the facadeis designed that the most of the facades surfaces arecovered.

To create spaces that are with different levelsbut also continuous open spaces, the floor planes are designed to have gradual changesin size. Higher level floors have open spaces towards Chrystie street which also associateswith concept of allowing the tree shadows. Lower level floors have open spaces towardsthe boudary of the neighboring building on Grand Street, constructing a similar contextuallanguage.

Interactive Kiosk

A kiosk is designed in Higgins Hall 4th floor staircase. This Kiosk has interactive surface wall which performs as a display table, information desk, as well as a sitting area. The surface consists of small ball magnetic units and reacts with the pressure. The tubes inside the wall illuminate different colors of light that change the atmosphere of the kiosk.

scientists dwellings

A research center in Wave hill, Bronx provides classrooms, a gallery, an outdoor garden, and dwellings for scientists. Built in light wood construction, the centers architecture not only harmonizes with the surroundings, but also merges with it through the shadows, materials, and altered topography.

A site was chosen after careful study of shadows of surrounding elements. Each facade of the building is affected by shadows of neighboring trees in different time of a day, as well as getting much sunlight throughout the day. The shadow of the building also affects the pre-existing Glendore gallery, making avisual connection in between.

Using the slope of the terrain actively, the building has corresponding floor levels. This allows the minimum excavation of the site as well as provides separate entries to private and public spaces.

The exposed wooden structure of the building creates fuzzy shadows resembling those of trees. These are shown internally and externally, implying the architectures attempt at providing the neutral ground between artifacts (building) and nature.
