    DESIGN CONCEPT_

    SINGULARITY“All is one, one is all”. Each element is a small and insignificant part of a

    huge system, an architecture should be like a cosmos (architecture)

    entirely made up of small and insignificant parts (human behaviors, nature

    conditions, environmental conditions, cultures, arts, lifestyle, and faiths).

  • PROJECT ABSTRACT

    This project is a film school in Pier 90, San Francis-

    co, and the project is adjacent to the channel in the

    harbor. The client is Sofia Coppola, who is a filmmaker

    & cinematographer. Her goal is to make a new kind of

    school that allows for open investigation and experi-

    mentation with the media. The school should be seen

    as a core to SF Bay Area events and lead into Cannes,

    Sundance, Venice and all worldwide film festivals.

    The design process uses the method of deconstruc-

    tionism architecture. The first step is to collect the

    inspiration from the movie Vertigo by Hitchcock, then,

    analyzing some clips and movie ideas to manage the

    inspiration. Clip Perspectives become the original

    idea as a concept to design some conceptual models.

    Second, the photomontage is a product of this pro-

    cess to combine a sort of photo documentary cut,

    sliced and extension of the site or something simply

    seen and documented on the site such as the site

    analysis, elements, and conceptual models. Third,

    the photomontage provides space potentials and

    architecture possibilities, which can transform into

    architectural programs and a connection to the site.

  • PROJECT ABSTRACT

    This project is a Modern Art Museum in Presidio, San Francisco. Forest

    surrounds the site, and it is near a cliff forward to the Pacific. There is

    no any building on the site, and the nearest building is 3 miles away. This

    project uses typology methodology which is created by Rem Koolhaas.

    First, I did research to analyze every type museum in history. Second, I

    found the unique feature of each museum and analyzed their program or-

    ganization. I focused on the museum circulation to analyze the transition

    of circulation from classic museums to contemporary museums.

    By using these research as inspiration, this project is to use an infinite

    loop as the concept to become an art museum.

  • PROJECT ABSTRACT

    The project examines two building typologies. The

    goal is divided into multiple phases that lead to

    structural and spatial development. The two projects

    focus on the design of speculative buildings with

    two distinct conditions (vertical and horizontal) at

    two distinct sites (open and infill). The project ex-

    plores the social and physical construct of urbaniza-

    tion from a systems theory point of view. The project

    pedagogy stresses a process driven design method-

    ology. The goal focuses on the city as fluid urban ter-

    ritories which are materialized by dynamic processes

    and relationships that exhibit emergent properties.

    The project is designed building infrastructures that

    tectonically express innovative structures, material,

    and spatial qualities. As part of the design process, I

    develop building schemes that have interactive zones

    of performance, circulation and information net-

    works, and hybridized program scenarios. Analytical

    diagramming becomes the generator for the design

    outcome in all three projects. Spatial and structural

    development are in response to multiple levels of

    research discovered in the diagrams. The projects

    question and are informed by the local context of the

    sites, program specificity as well as larger global is-

    sues which are discussed from assigned readings. The

    project continuously questions, invent and invert the

    relationship between landscape architecture, interior

    architecture, and architecture design to create a

    holistic environment. It is an opportunity to explore

    the architecture projects as social infrastructure

    implanted with flows of information which determine

    new interface and shape public space inside and out.

  • METHODOLOGY

    The project emphasizes a process driven design meth-

    odology through individually developed rule-based

    techniques. Generative processes are emphasized in

    the development of two and three-dimensional

    drawing and structure-making procedures. Focus is

    placed on inventing strategies to transfer analysis

    into tectonic visualizations that utilize structure,

    pattern, and organization to create comprehensive

    architectural buildings.

    Within both project., there are a series of the key

    may term assign order ned to clarify and narrow

    down modes of analysis and operation. The project is

    divided into specific objectives that describe the con-

    ceptual framework and rules for model-making and

    drawing. This includes clarifying the processes

    of investigation, abstraction, and invention through

    a range of procedures, materials, and techniques.

    Design intent includes a shift from contents to pat-

    terns, quantities to qualities, objects to relationships,

    parts of the whole, composition to processes, hierar

    chies to networks, measuring to mapping. The pro-

    jects respond accordingly to the specific sites of the

    investigation by introducing an architecture that is

    reactive utilizing proposing to either/or/and integrate

    into the context field, occupy the context field or

    transform the context field.

  • BIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS—SEA ANEMONES

    Sea anemones have two ways of reproducing, sexual

    and asexual reproduction. The asexual reproduction

    is lateral fission, and it also called binary fission. The

    asexual reproduction of sea anemones occurs in five

    steps in cell mutation, being triggered, budding,

    fission, fragmentation, and regeneration.

  • The first stage of a prokaryotic cell involves the movement

    of the protein distributed in the interior of the cell. As

    the proteins begin to move closer by waving and shaking

    to the center of the cell.

    The plasma membrane (shell of the cell) begins to

    elongate into an oval shape, and the protein and DNA

    replicate at the same time. This oval shape is the

    second phase of mutation.

    The third phase is when the plasma membrane begins

    to split and leaves the protein in the center of the cell.

    The DNA of the cell splits and pushes towards the outer

    walls of the membrane creating a force.

    The fourth phase creates a “septum” or a wall around the

    two daughter cells. While the DNA is still pushing out-

    wards, the protein is dividing and beginning to re-enter

    the two cells.

    The final stage is when the two daughter cells have split

    with a DNA strand in each cell and the same amount of

    There are a lot of women’s boutiques

    but fewer men’s boutiques in this area.

    This situation divides the targets into

    two main groups (male and female).

    The process shows the transition from

    a large group (budding) to

    two sub-groups (fission).

    This area has a lot of advertising

    billboard which triggers the shoppers

    to notice the benefits of buying a

    specific product. Then, they start

    moving toward their targets (budding)

    and separating from the main group

    temporarily.

    This is the entrance area and the main

    intersection of the flow of people from

    outside the mall and coming down

    from the other floors. This intersection

    is also the main circulation, which

    leads the different group to their

    targets (budding and fission), and

    there are some advertisements which

    influence customers(trigger).

    The basement area is the dining area. The smells

    trigger the customers’ sense of taste (trigger). Then,

    they break into smaller groups in line in front of the

    restaurant (fission). After eating, they join the

    main group upstairs for shopping (regeneration).

    The sub-flows continue to spread

    out into the corridor. When the

    sub-flows get to the stores, which

    cater to a specific gender, some

    of sub-flows change color to

    either blue or red.

    The main flow breaks into

    more and more sub-flows in

    the Westfield Mall. Then

    they spread out to the first

    dome of the Westfield Mall.

    When the shopping flows interact

    with the bio-elements (advertising

    billboard, intersection, escalator,

    and smell), it starts dividing into

    several smaller sub-flows.

    The shopping flow

    merges from street

    to the entrance of

    the Westfield Mall.

  • PROJECT ABSTRACT

    The project is located on the corner of the University of San Francisco.

    There are a lot of residential surrounded to the site. The Site is on the

    steep slope land with several 200’ height pine trees. The Community

    Center includes community facility and Garden. It provides a function for

    citizens to have activities and leisure. The entire project starts from a

    series research of site environment. Then, the next research analyzes the

    garden tools to understand how it makes and how it works. According to

    the research information and inspirations, making a series of prototypes

    test the idea and make it work to the site.

  • PROJECT ABSTRACT

    Dogpatch is a historical and mixed-use area in San

    Francisco. In the early period, it was a heavy industrial

    area. Factories produce ropes, irons, and boat yard.

    These products shipped to Mexico, Peru, China, and

    Japan. In 1867, There was a residential development

    for workers, but their living quality was not in good

    condition. They spent a lot of time in the factory, and

    they got the low salary for the living. Nowadays, the

    Dogpatch is in a new transition in class and land use.

    According to the city planning department, the water-

    front area of the site will be developed to a park and

    beach for wondering and kayaking. The project is

    based on the structure feature to design a surfboard

    & Bike workshop. My idea is to provide a perspective

    which connects past and present for the new tran-

    sition in Dogpatch. The research indicates factories

    use a lot of moment-frame structure system in every

    factory. Therefore, the structure type becomes a

    strong element which can transform the neighboring

    factories and residential to have the new shift in

    application and design.

  • DESIGN PROCESS

    The moment frame structure is created from the

    structure grid, so the spans and spaces are symmetric

    or equal. If there is a program gets into the moment

    frame structure, the columns will appear in the program

    space, and it is the same problem in traditional factory

    type architecture. In this case, I use the program

    dimensions as the primary factor for a structured grid;

    then the programs manipulate an asymmetric matrix

    and try to find the best composition to generate a

    moment frame structure. The structure will automatic

    contain the programs, and there will be no any

    columns in the program spaces.

  • PROJECT ABSTRACT

    California is currently experiencing an extreme weather condition, a

    drought. Despite being surrounded by an ocean, this drought is causing

    a water crisis in both urban and suburban areas of the Bay Area. San

    Francisco has a large prosperous population of 758,000, which is demands

    44 million gallons of water for daily use. Developing a new water re-

    source is becoming an urgent issue for people’s survival. However, the

    environmental conditions of the San Francisco Bay provide a rich resource

    which has not been tapped yet into new water system for San Francisco.

    “The Swell” provides a way to combine desalination facility with California

    style as an artificial landscape in San Francisco. In the middle of 19th cen-

    tury to early 20th century, a California lifestyle is a dream for many people

    ,and

    the “Golden State” is an ideal resort destination. The

    weather is sunny and dry in all year with easy access

    to the ocean and mountains. The image of Californians

    as: laid-back, healthy beach-goers holds some truth.

    This thesis project proposes both a “Surfing Park” and

    a desalination facility. This new hybrid architecture

    encourages people to generate the fresh water

    through surfing.

    The Surfing Park is a combination of three parts: a

    surfing pool, an artificial landscape, and a desalination

    system. The water comes from the bay into the

    surfing pool, and the pool water goes through to the

    desalination process within the artificial landscape.

    The fresh water becomes a water resource for the

    irrigation of landscapes, human use, and public

    green spaces within an artificial landscape (park)

    at Pier #76 in San Francisco.

  • The Bay Area has 7.5 million people, and San Francisco has 852,469 people

    in the city. The Swell provides three functions in the site, desalination

    facility, park, surfing pool. The desalination facility provides technology

    and education functions for laboratory technician and students. The

    park provides public events and leisure activities for citizens, dog walkers,

    exercisers. The surfing pool provides surfing for surfers and exercisers.

    TITLE The Swell: An artificial wave park with desalination facility

  • CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

    “The Swell” activates and transforms abandoned indus-

    trial land in San Francisco’s Mission Bay district into

    an artificial landscape between the bay and the city’s

    edge. This landscape includes a desalinated water

    system, which will distribute clean water to the city of

    San Francisco, a surf-themed water park, and a large

    urban park. By working with the natural assets of the

    site, this project responds to the current drought

    crisis in California by taking back land previously con-

    taminated by industrial use and returning it to the

    city through the limited impact on the environment.

    The drought in California has established the need for

    a new water supply in San Francisco, ideally one that

    doesn’t rely on intensive and harmful interventions to

    the surrounding environment. Because of San Francis-

    co’s proximity to the ocean, desalination, which uses

    reverseosmosis technology to separate the minerals in

    seawater and transform it into fresh water, is a possi-

    ble solution. The fresh water created by the plant in

    this project will be stored in two water tanks on the

    site. These water tanks will supply fresh water to the

    citizens of San Francisco.

    The prevailing image of the California lifestyle includes

    the Beach Boys, sun, and surfing, which is the most

    popular sport on the California shoreline. “The Swell”

    contributes to this lifestyle by including two surfing

    pools that connect the Dogpatch waterfront area to the

    city. The project’s artificial wave machines are set in 2

    concrete piers, transforming the traditional function of

    the piers into entertainment.

    Besides, the park, which is the most important part of

    the landscape, connects the local communities to the

    waterfront area and the bay, while making the desali-

    nation facility and surfing pools part of the

    landscape. The pattern in the landscape follows the di-

    rectionality of the site’s water systems. The horizontal

    lines represent the seawater on the site, and the verti-

    cal lines represent the direction the seawater takes as

    it goes through the desalination process to the public.

    The artificial water landscape has three types of line

    relationships to the site: convergent & divergent lines,

    vertical lines, and zigzag tangent lines. These lines,

    that reflect the urban and natural context of the site,

    provide a system of circulation. The main circulation

    paths for people and water use two actions from the

    water system: diverging and converging. Users coming

    from the city converge at the approach of the site.

    PROJECT 6

    PAGE 1 7 5

    TITLE The Swell: An artificial wave park with desalination facility

  • Then, the landscape makes these users diverge to the

    waterfront area for surfing, the park for wandering,

    the desalination area for education and work, and the

    waterfront for entertainment. For the water circula-

    tion, the surfing pools collect seawater from the canal

    at the pumping station. Then, the desalination facility

    converges the seawater, transforming it into fresh

    water and diverging to be used in the landscape and

    to supply the local communities.

    The Swell provides an artificial water landscape to

    connect the landscape park to the desalination

    facility and the surfing pools in the bay. It activates

    the heavy industrial land and returns it to public use,

    and creating a new waterfront area for the people of

    San Francisco. The Swell provides a geographic

    landscape, water supply, and sports activities for

    San Francisco.

  • PROJECT ABSTRACT

    The project is to design a wall system of a fashion boutique in a three-

    story building, and it has a flat roof and parapet and floor-to-floor height

    of 11’-0” maximum. The wall will be the street facade of a small building

    on a typical San Francisco mid-block lot, 25’ wide with adjacent buildings

    left and right abutting the building. The facade includes; an entry door

    with a canopy; windows, some or all being operable, some or all with solar

    control; and at least two exterior finish materials. From the process of

    this project can learn how to control every part of details. The wall section

    and its related elevations, plans, and details provide a significant portion

    of a completed description of a building. It is a process to prepare to

    develop a high level of competence in the technical aspects of architectural

    design through exploring a wall section.
