The city of Busan, South Korea is known as the second largest city in South Korea, and has the fi fth largest port in the world. As a major economic infl uence for Busan and the country, the North Port was historically the center of the city. However, the exponential growth in population and economy has infl uenced the city to spread, dissipating the centrality of the North Port. Currently, it is populated with cargo ships and containers, privatizing the waterfront for industry. Since its establishment the cargo queue has increased and the demand for more land has monopolized the North Port. However, the North Port has a fi nite space for storage

and use. Consequently, the continuous demand for additional real estate has forced the cargo shipments to relocate east, along the perimeter of the city. Movement of the cargo industry has opened the North Port for new opportunities, such as reorganizing the port as the city center. The mission is to make the port an international marine tourism hub for the Southeast Coast tourism belt while preserving the global shipping business. There is hope is to re stimulate a now stagnant economy along the water front and to integrate the port development to the former downtown areas.

The wind stock tower is located within the offi ce/commercial district of the new development. Surrounded by a marina, subway station, underground highway, and energy center the project is located within a site surrounded by transportation and energy. The skyscraper created on site marriages the two characteristics by redistributing energy to the transportation matrix. As a generator the tower generates electricity by collecting the power of the wind on site. Once the wind is harvested the skyscraper is able to sustain its own energy demand while excess power is stored for later use and to the surrounding transportation hubs. Though

the process described above, the skyscraper becomes a dependent energy source for the surrounding matrix. Apart from its humanistic character as a provider it also accommodates the surrounding conditions by drawing them into the site. It accommodates the marina though additional water ramps, air traffi c by helicopter pads, the highway and subway station by direct access via underground tunnel ways and parking. In the end, the skyscraper becomes an integrated object to its site while representing the business center as an iconic servant to the city of Busan.

The observational station was designed as an extension of the existing visitor’s center. Its purpose is to reveal Saguaro National Park from an elevated view. Using the height of Red Hill the building wraps itself around its apex, while exposing the red cliff within. Inside, the inhabitants are able to experience the visual panorama of the park and its unique thermal seasons. During the winter the building’s southern portion utilizes the rock wall to heat the space, while in the summer it is used as a dry sauna. On the opposite side, the northern portion is kept cooled year round by hiding behind the mountain.

The existing Verizon offi ce on Speedway has decided to expand their building. The client wishes to demolish the current building and construct a new building on site. The design shown improves offi ce environments by an open fl oor plan and an abundance of natural light by skylights, including a operational shading system along the entire southern façade. Moreover, it is sensitive to the residential neighborhood north of its site in dedicating a quarter of the north lot as a park/buffer zone. Lastly, the atmosphere of the interior is isolated from the bustling street by monolithic walls. The desks are oriented to the north to view the park and indirect sunlight.

The Scottsdale Museum of the West was designed by Jones Studio, a local architecture fi rm. We were fortunate enough to further their schematic designs into a comprehensive construction document. Responsibility was delegated and the digital model shown above was created in Rhino and Revit. I was responsible for the detail drawings and the physical fabrication of the 1:1 detail. I constructed a portion of the undulating facade. The undulation was only possible due to the inherent fl exibility of the Trex board.

The exhibition features seven multi-disciplinary works from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company as well as selected works from Merce’s collaborative effort with other collaborators and architects. The exhibition features a series of music, dance notations, drawings, sketches, and photographs of the performed works. The design of the exhibition space took cues from the inscribed grid of the gallery’s concrete fl oor. ‘Projecting the grid onto a virtual ceiling datum, this grid organizes a new surface- a suspended landscape of nylon strings that hangs between the roof and ground plane.’ (Beth Weinstein) The fi eld of strings undulates in reaction with gravity creating a series of inverted vaults or ‘circulation nodes’ that disrupts the open plane below. However, the placement of the circulation nodes and information panels was determined by the chance operation. This operation is borrowed from Merce Cunningham’s own creative process.
