    FUN IS ALWAYS FUNCTIONAL, AND THE FUNCTIONAL SHOULD BE FUN.

    In architectural context, fun implies more than an amusement or temporal jubilancy. It is more an excla-mation mark that comes from the unexpectedness of things.Ohanamite Pavilion is a structure to offer people a viewing station for cherry blossom. In Japan, through March to May, for the cherry blossom viewing, called hanami, many people go out to look at flowers, drink and eat, play game, and even dance under the cherry blossom trees. The Ueno Park in Tokyo, Japan is famous for its cherry blossom trees, inviting Japanese and foreigners to participate hanami. However, the Ueno park houses more than flower trees. It is also a central gathering place for the homeless people in Tokyo, which estimates over 5,000. Ohanamite Pavilion is designed to house those people only except hanami period. The pavilion is open to public in late March and closed up in May, then transfromed to a shelter for the homeless. Yet, the pavilion isnt exactly a nice cozy house. With the ceiling height of 5-5, it is a space tall enough to sit or lie down but not for living in. Desirably, the pavilion would act as a station before the homeless people find a job and proper residence, while providing only minimal protection from outside environment.

    ii. Fun-ctional Trail Design CollagesUrban Intervention on Long Island City_ Individual project by Sooji Jung

    A great building that sustains itself but being used by no one is nothing but an abandoned facility. People find things useful not only because of pragmatic reasons but also for fun. The idea of fun that is combined with technological aspects would achieve truly sustainable architecture. The project FUN-CTIONAL TRAIL is designed specifically to tackle those four elements. Functional trail is an alternative pavement system that alters ground surface of city. The first prototype of Fun-ctional trails is Eco-trail which consists of planting carpet, water system, nutrients pipe, waste management. Eco-trail is to be introduced in an area of brown field or under-utilized public street where vegetation can bring out re-programming of the space. The Second prototype is Play-trail which connects under-utilized spatial resources throughout the city. Instead of designing single playground at a specific location, the play-trail links school, house, public park, and playground in linear path which children can explore freely in protected environment. Based on the site analysis of Long Island City (urban analysis project collaborated with G. Bencivengo, on p.46), Fun-ctional trail is layered over to promote (1) greenery, (2) fun place, (3) industry, and (4) recycling. **To envision the full potential of this project, the mega-structural form of Fun-ctional trail was applied to Manhattans urban grid (p.48-49). It is projected as architectural fantasy, yet the image proposes the humor and innovation of sustainable future typology.

    The ultimate goal of designing Functional trail for Long Island City is to carry this model to Manhat-tan once the system is successfully exercised in this smaller scale site. Expanding the project into Manhattan should accompany corresponding site investigation and public needs. Yet the utopian scheme is studied early on by a means of collage to examine potentials of combin-ing Functional trail into existent infrastructure of Manhat-tan. One of the most important aspects of this project is that the basis of Functional trail is not designed to be site-specific to any designated location. It is more of conceptual system that can be developed in any possi-ble direction according to the projected site. The project FUNCTIONAL TRAIL is an alternative ground surface for the future city, which promotes the idea of direct engagement with people in fun, sustainable, ecological, and productive manner.
