THE FLOW OFFICE [office renovation]
FALL 2011Instructor: JILL STONERLocation: 400 Oyster Boulevard, South San Francisco
The project attempts to reactivate an existing office building in creating a dy-namic office space: highly flexible and ever-changing.
The new building becomes more porous with new connections established between floors through transparency and shared “floating” volumes. Chang-ing ceiling heights eliminates typical office’s static condition, offering various spatial options for occupants to choose. Shared conference rooms and facilities between the new and the old parts allow for an active intellectual mixing and exchange.

The design of the Bamboo Center for Ecology Education reinforces its mission of a public institution: one that is open to everyone and acces-sible from all directions. Defining space with roof instead of with walls, the Center opens up and invites pedestrians to meander through its wall-less structure, learning about salt marsh habitat and its restoration while exploring the beautiful adjacent natural site.
The continuous structure, where roof and walls are one and the same, undulates and touches ground to enclose private programs or provide structural support.

THE WOVEN APARTMENTS [housing]
SPRING 2011Instructor: RAVEEVARN CHOKSOMBATCHAILocation: Hayes Valley, San Francisco
This project proposes a new strategy for neighboring apartments in densely populated area. The apartments are interlocking to ensure equal access to air and natural light while still maintaining privacy. The same strategy is employed for the placement of public and pri-vate programs of the complex, one that allows the residences access to a public park without letting the public interrupt the residents’ privacy.

LAMELLA-TRUSSED DOMES [museum]
SPRING 2012Instructor: LISA IWAMOTOLocation: Hayes Valley, San Francisco
The project explores the lamella-trussed system as a structural system for the Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco. Consisting of short members, the system allows for long span without columns which provides the Mu-seum with unobstructed exhibition space.
The project plays with layering structural domes to accommodate the many different public and private programs required by the Museum. The facade is also careful designed to be consistent with the structure’s aesthetics while being able to facilitate day-lighting and natural ventilation.

MOOREA, FRENCH POLYNESIA [RESEARCH + SIMULATION PROJECT]
HURRICANE-PROOF AFFORDABLE KIT HOUSE
This is a comfort and design study of the most recent affordable and hurricane-proof kit house produced by the Office of French Polynesian Housing.
A team of 6 architects, engineers, and building scientists work together to analyze and understand the shortcomings of the current design and propose improvements to the next-generation kit house. As part of the simulation group, I worked with a mechanical engineer from Buro Happold to analyze temperature, solar radiation, and air flow levels in different areas of the house, using IES VE as the simulation tool.

TOWN HALLS : A NEW DESIGN TO BETTER SERVE YOU

WE ARE RE-USING EXISTING COMMUNITY CENTERS AS TOWN HALLS
EACH TOWN HALL HAS A SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR YOU
GET INVOLVED IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY POLITICS
RENOVATED TOWN HALLS ARE EASY TO SPOT AND USE
Current community centers are hidden in existing buildings. This system shifts and opens the town halls to better engage the urban environment and provide space for the new functions.
Shen Yang has a distributed system of community centers. However, they provide too many services at the expense of quality.
Existing site condition
Rather than spreading resources thin and providing every service at every location, each town hall will have core functions and a few specialized programs.
The traditional town hall blended community programming with politics and speech. Town halls would hold government meetings and debates alongside social dinners and other community events. Our system inserts this overlap into an existing network of community centers. This concept seeks to bring community and political function back under one roof.

SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES
NATURAL VENTILATIONtall roof facilitates stack e�ect ventilation which naturally draws in cool air and removes extra heat gain through the roof opening
SUN SHADING3 feet overhang e�ectively blocks out summer sun but lets in winter sun
GREEN ROOFplanted rooftop garden adds a layer of insulation and helps reduce overheating in summer
RAIN WATER COLLECTORrainwater runo� is retained and stored for re-use in toilet ush or irrigation
THERMAL MASS2 feet thick strawbale walls and in some cases, surrounding earth of up to 8 feet depth, store unwanted heat during the day and release it at night to keep the space warm

THE POMO NATION’S LIVING CULTURE CENTER
The Living Culture Center promotes the four main programs (art studio, history & preservation, performance, and nutrition center) via a chain of interconnecting structures, each of which aims to bridge the exterior natural elements with a protected interior setting.
The structures are situated to maximize passive heating and cooling techniques and incorporate a strawbale construction method. The green roofs provide shelter and each structure is topped with a diffuse skylight to reduce the artificial lighting load in the space. The choice of structure of the Center is carefully selected to mimic the woven pattern of the Pomo baskets and at the same time, allow for large unobstructed spaces flexible for any type of communal activities.
