  4. 4. ABOUT FACEPartnership with Yifan Wang About Face is a proposal for 105 microunits in the Lower East Side, located on a site that is only 30 feet by 80. We are proposing a building that compounds the definition of the unit across scales through the conception that by sharing components of what would traditionally be a single apartment unit,residents are privy to more square footage on average than if they had a 200 square foot unit to themselves. By this we mean that a unit can be defined concurrently as a single 200 square foot bedroom, a floor of 4 bedrooms, a suite of 8 bedrooms, to a community of 8 floors. At each scale consequent programs are shared amongst proportional groups of people. As a result, instead of each resident only renting 200-250 square feet per person, there living arrangement is defined by 700-800 square feet per person. Thebuildingiscomprisedofthreecommunities that create the about face, switching orientation as the building moves upward. Between each community are two transition floors that act as free planned balcony and event spaces connecting communities to each other. At these moments the buildings density almost completely dissipates as these transition floors create an open clerestory, connecting the east and west lights.

  17. 17. FACADE FICTIONS G Facade Fictions is a project to design a mixed use plan for a 17 acre parcel directly to the north of downtown Houston. This project proposes a form of mixed-use I am referring to as compressed use. By working within the known boundaries and optimizations of the generic housing, office, and commercial typologies, this urban plan deploys tightly packed formations of housing and office. This allows the plan to contract and expand, alternate tall and flat, dense and loose, and creates an urban space that contrasts with the urban simulacra that is often the product of mixed-use design

Low single and double height retail buildings, in contrast create expanses of decompression, challenging phenomenalized conceptions of ur- ban density. There has almost always been a graduated and parallel relationship between building height and density, but this proposal contrasts the high and low conditions in close proximity. 1 = 320 Apartments Townhomes Amenities Parking Lobby Below Grade Parking

  24. 24. A TOWER ON A TOWER WITH A TOWER INSIDEPartnership with Wenqi Chen The premise of this project is ridiculous: to build an olympic housing facility on the eiffel tower for Frances 2024 Olympic bid, while relying on the towers existing structural capacity to support the load and leaving the towers tourist operations uninterrupted. By entertaining the premise of this project, we enter the very pitched and very much alive debates on tall buildings in Paris, the sanctimony ascribed to patrimonious cultural monuments, and architectures pitiful history with olympic buildings. Inspired by scaffolding, we decided early on to design a building that would be disassembled - not demolished. With precedents like the Centre Pompidou, the works of Peter Cook and the Metabolists, we found we had a responsibility to leverage architecture as a speculation on temporality in an effort to first do no harm, while also attempting to gain something spectacular. This contrasts with what one has come to expect from Olympic architecture. This scaffold tower begins just above the second platform (where the best views can be found) thereby preserving the tourists experience of the Tour Eiffel. Secondly, the athletes, as they ascend the interior of the tower, will have a new spatial relationship with the tower as historical artifact, much like a window washer on a skyscraper, or viewing the skeleton of an extinct creature in a museum. Lastly the structure is more a kit of parts than architecture. It can easily be disassembled and reassembled elsewhere for a new function, returning the tower to its original state.

Apartment listings are sure to note views of the eiffel tower even no matter how far or small the tower is on the horizon. But the world renowned tapering silhouette of the tower is only visible from a very small radius. We used this visibility study conducted in person and from google street view, to determine from many vantage points, where our tower on tower could begin, to harmonize with the changing perceptions of the tower as it currently exists.
  27. 27. 1st public deck Existing power generation, water pumps 2nd public deck 3rd public deck We leave the lower decks to operate normally, and draw a simple separation between the tourist public, and the athletic housing above There is a partial thinning in density at the top deck to allow visitors to continue to visit the tower oor, as well as reveal the end of the existing tower, exposing the proportion that cotinues upward in cantilever Using prefabricated units, we compose a tower that increases in opacity and occupancy as it grows. In doing so we expose as much of the existing tower inside Vertical circulation is dispersed to prevent creating consolidated moments of continuous opacity on the facade Shared programs area evenly dispersed throughout the tower. They form bands of glazing on the facade that are split into pieces and shift to break up the controlling rhythm of space created by the housing unit grid. CONCEPT DIAGRAM PRECEDENTS

  35. 35. 3300 RICHMOND The aim of this project is to design a public service annex for the city of Houston including an auditorium, courtrooms, and bureaucratic functions to create a complete public interface. At the same time, there is the ambition to explore the nature of public (civic) space in a city like houston, which is largely known by its dispersed, archipelago-like, private decentralization. Theproposal,then,drawsfromthesurrounding context. Many mid century modernist homes, offices, and commercial buildings mark the Richmond Avenue corridor and can be identified by their lifted forms, freeing the ground floor for covered parking. Additionally they often feature wide-brimmed, flat roofs that create a intimate and shaded relationship with the sidewalk. The contrasts are drastic between these buildings and more recent constructions driven mostly by parking codes and setback regulations. These conditions create the urban sprawl/asphalt desert that so frequently characterizes the generic American urban periphery. This contextual forms versatile ability to modulate the a close private scale and interface with the public domain primed it for reinvention. In contrast to the free plan, this proposal introduces a sweeping circulatory form that drives the plan in conjuction with a regular column grid. FORMAL PROCESS

  40. 40. MUSEUM OF ART OF THE 20TH CENTURY There was recently a high profile competition to propose a Museum of Art of the 20th Century to go on the Kulturforum in Berlin, Germany to join the seminal works of Hans Scharoun and Mies van der Rohe. This project is a response to that brief. This site is concurrently an architects dream and nightmare. It is an incredible challenge to design a museum that responds to such a charged and iconic context, yet the Kulturforum is conditioned by an uncanny vastness - a kind of desolation - resultant from the deliberately non-monumental land form architectures of Scharoun and Mies parthenon-like universal pavilion. Deterred by the legacy of national socialist monumentality and neighboring East German Socialist totalitarianism, it seems the Kulturforum and indeed the 1960s showed the struggle to define a public monumentalism free of the problems of the past. Time clearly solved this problem, as the site is also near Potsdamer Platz which is the Germany capitals emblem of neoliberal iconicity and monumentalism. But as one walks from Potsdamer Platz to the Kulturforum, there is the distinct feeling of exiting of a condition of buzzing urbanity to one of insularity and deference. Oddly, these properties of the Kulturforum are a kind of strength. Each major building of the Kulturforum is specifically attuned to a particular purpose. Scharouns Staatsbibliotek is the nations largest academic library and is not open to the public. Scharouns Philharmoniker explodes with life at concert times but then goes dormant in between events.And Mies Neue Nationalgalerie is less a museum than a highly focused pavilion. Therefore the inherent ambition of this competition to invigorate this district through with a single building is a sisyphean task, compounded by thepossibilityof creatinganarchitectural petting zoo due to the concentration of high profile buildings. It is ironic that this district is called the Kulturforum when one compares it to the Museum Insel, which is far more classically organized,and telegraphs its public cultural commodities in a much more recognizable way. Therefore, this project aims to lean into the archipelago already in the making, by creating a unique, highly specific, and embounded cultural experience in contrast to the consumable, touristic cultural day out provided by the Museum Insel. The program itself demands it, in a way. This is because it is a relatively new notion to conceive of art of the 20th century as an archived, historicized epoch - no longer contemporary, and modern only in designation. The word Modern has acted as an age reversal cream for Modern Art, extending its contemporaneity. The aim, thenof thisprojectisinspecttheinnovations of Modern art on the display of art, and the conventions of the historical display of art.

  42. 42. CONCEPTUAL MONTAGE Art in isolation is very much the format of art in a contemporary moment, one could argue, the sequence of most contemporary art museums reflects this one-on-one spatial arrangment between viewers and the art. I argue this reflects an insistance that the work itself contains any political, social, and artistic response to its present moment. This format, I argue, was mastered during the modern era which can be associated with the explosion of media, formats, and the size of art. This image is an example of how art is often historicized. The contextualized breadth of a cultural moment is often added to the motivations, and ambitions of any individual piece. Isolation is the format in which we appreciate art and the other is considered how we learn about art. This museum is composed as a aggregate of 2 conditions of display: Clearings and Dense Display. Clearings place a piece of art in its isolated format, the format popularized by Modern Art. Dense Display is the greater collection of historicized art. It is an opportunity for viewers to view and investigate art in a format one rarely sees in Modern Art. Additionally, museums rarely display more than 5% of their collections on the museum floor at any one time. This strategy responds to the question of how to historicize the artistic moment that was more self aware of its presentness more than any other - by creating this duality in format.
