CHICAGO INSPIRATION

Object was to create a three-dimensional collage with photos and sketches from Chicago. The collage expresses the inspirations I had from the city. I was inspired by the continuous lines throughout the city and the rhythmic flow in height. In this model, I kept the simple orthogonal pattern that expresses the skyscrapers and the city grid. Each image is divided into segments and blended with other images into a three-dimensional form.

GLASS: able to see through but cannot pass through physically

WOOD: organic (plantlike) details

METAL: beauty and fashion

CONCRETE: main stage/grand staircase

NATURE MATERIALS

Objective was to study and understand Paris Opera House by Charles Garnier and create an abstract model with metal, Concrete, wood, metal, and glass express the idea and the pur-pose of the building. In early 1900s, people were segregated by different class status. High class wealths were the ones that lead the fashion like the today’s media. Garnier created balconies for middle class peasants to stand and observe wealths’ fashion and their social behaviors. In this model, I focused on the idea of observing the beauties out to the stage and to the grand staircase from a middle class point of view. They were able to observe and learn from high class behaviors from the balcony.

SPATIAL SEQUENCE

Objective was to understand the site and to create three different gathering spaces for each spring, summer, and autumn. My concept was “living in agreement with nature” and i intended to cre-ate naturelike spaces that could help people to relax from stressful urban lives. i created each space on differ-ent ground level and surrounded the spaces with hedges to feel more like forest in the space.Living in agreement with nature

CHICAGO VISITORS’ PAVILION

Object was to design a visitors center pavilion located in the daley bicentennial plaza. This pavilion required a visitors center. Mutipur-pose space, cafe, and performance space to welcome the visitors to chicago. The site was located in the lower center part of Daley Bicentennial Plaza. It has a very strong center axis that alignes with the bucking-ham fountain in Grant Park. My concept was ‘cut through the central axis to be transformed between urban and nature.’ I have created a main diagonal path to connect the pathway from BP bridge to Monroe street towards Lakeshore Drive. This diagonal path cuts through the central path on the center part of the pavilion. This pavilion was designed to make a smooth transition flow be-tween Millennium Park to Lake Michigan. The wavy roof form was to connect Frank Gehry’s Pritzker Pavilion to the waves of the lake. The repetitive roof panels and the glass create dramatic light and shadow showing the awareness of the space. My choice on using glass for all my outer wall was to get closer be-tween outside and inside. On the inside, I used bearing walls made of marble stone to segregate public from private and to displace art and informations on the wall.

LIGHT MODULATING WALL

To develop a mood based on a transformation of colors over a period of time. The colors are references to particular emotions they convey. The warm red and yellow colors arouse the senses, and the blue violet colors con-tribute to a soothing and calm feeling. By integrating a diverse form and inter-twining versatile colors in a collective manner; this structure explicitly details change over time. We developed the idea of having two different tones from morning to evening. Based on this idea, we furthur developed our concept by using col-ors that were warm during the morning and calm during the night.

CHICAGO URBAN INFILL

CHICAGO AVE.

“L”

(CTA

)

SITE

PUBLIC PARK

This Urban Infill was designed to redefine what is unique about the site. This site is shaped by one of the main roads: Chicago Avenue and the CTA Train Tracks. Being surrounded by major transportations, this site had different advan-tages and disadvantages from other neighbor buildings. The trains and the cars constantly make a lot of noise and pollutions. The intersec-tion of Franklin Avenue and Chicago Avenue were shaded by the tall massive train track that prevents no living space for the plants. However, the movement of cars and trains made more active and easy for people to visit this site. Inter-section of two streets gave advantage to bring people into the building.

Alexander Calder is an American sculptor who was famous for making mobiles and stabiles. Calder’s artistic-technical dualism inspired me to design my Urban Infill. His weightless Neo-Plasticism sculptures were elegantly shaped and supported by hidden technical ideas. The form of my Urban Infill was designed by the idea of weightless sculpture and the idea of dualism between two opposite styles. Calder’s idea of movement played several parts in my design. On the west side of my building, vertical stairs are exposed to the public and the noise. My second floor of the gallery rooms were elevated in each small masses that create its own private space in the second floor.

Preexisitng places can be found and brought to the present to create new feelings and associations. I used the idea of camouflage, the art of concealment, to impose the feeling of being hidden or protected from the surroundings. By utilizing the horizontal stripe patterns, the spaces disguise one from the outside and limit one’s view. Each space has its own unique idea to explore the landscape. Model 1 disguises one from the land and provides closer views to the lake. the pathway was designed to move out to the lake for people to be iso-lated from the ground even more. Although model 2 has horizontal lines to hide one from another, it’s surrounded by many trees - ver-tical movements that bring people’s eyes up to the sky. Model 2 creates an interesting experience through connecting the exist-ing path and the path that leads to all the spaces. It’s located on a very steep hill and the horizontal patterns create an interesting transformation between the woods and top of the hill.

KICKAPOO STATE PARK FISH HATCHERY

The fish hatchery was designed to educate and to preserve the native fish in Kickapoo State Park. The park has been evolved from a mine to a preservation park. I took the same approach to develop the fish hatchery. From a place where we produce food to a place where we protect and learn about the environment. This fish hatchery focuses on the growth of the fish and when the fish is fully grown, it would be released back to the river and ponds in the park. This is a place where people should began their journey in the park. In the process of designing the fish hatchery, I first started with grouping each pro-grams from public to private. I separated them by using hallway, giftshop, and the restrooms that are used by both public and private programs. I focused on how the visitors would circulate through the space. I designed the public circulation so that the visitors would tour through one way path that leads them back to the entrance w here they started. The visitors would first start their journey from the top floor. THe top floor has the gallery space where people can learn through images and texts, then the visitors would move through the lecture hall where the tour guides can give a brief presentation and take a glimpse at the process room through an opening.

CHAMPAIGN MIXED USE BUILDING

To develop Champaign downtown for people to live, work, and play, I focused on a special connectiveness among the residents in this building and in this area. To provide connec-tiveness, I decided to make com-munal spaces such as a roof garden that provides a place for gathering. Suburbia, unlike the urban environ-ment, has more green spaces where people can engage. I incorporated a vertical garden to intervene the public’s mind that the plants in the ur-ban area are only exist on the edges of the of sidewalk.

CHICAGO MIDRISE MIXED USE BUILDING 1ST PLACE IN GREEN RESCHEME DESIGN COMPETITION

My concept for this building is to en-hance the social environment by creat-ing and maintaining quality of people’s lives. This site is surrounded by few distinctive communities. The Moody Bible Institute is located on the north side of the site and the campus is full of christians students and faculties. On the southwest side of this site, there are many galleries that attract pedestrians with art displayed facades.

After analyzing the site, I wanted to created this building for everyone around this area to occupy by dividing sections for different groups. Also, I de-signed the spaces to be flexible for residents to decide what kind of programs they would like in each space. The layer of the facade contains different purposes throughout the build-ing. It starts out as a bench on the ground floor. From second floor to the top of the building, art displayed LED screen called GreenPix-Zero Energy Media Wall stores energy from the sun during the day and uses that energy to display art at night.

Wilard Airport was named after former University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign president Arthur Cutts Wilard. This airport is especially connected to the Univer-sity for once one of the most busiest airport in the state of Illinois in the 1950s. During site visit, I noticed that the buildings were fragmented and had lack of maintenance. The build-ings seemed unnecessarily scattered apart from one another which could cause more energy consumption. The paints of exterior walls of the buildings were peeling apart and it was rusting the steel parts of the buildings.

This design responds to the rapid increase of demand for highly trained engineers in aircraft mechanics and to meet the enrollment of students from all states and all countries to give them not only the best aircraft manufacturing experience but also the context of this region. I believe that design can transform and enhance the so-ciety and I wanted to transform this site that was once one of the busiest airport in the state into an environment that can help students to become highly educated aircraft mechanical engineers.
