TOWN HOUSE
LOGAN SQUARE, CHICAGO,ILLINOIS
The project is to design for the mixed-use

building of residential and commercial purpose: bookstore on street level plus 3 single
units and a unit for family. The site is a typical
narrow and deep plot at Logan Square, Chicago, where five floors can be realized.
Given the limited width of the site, the design
was developed within the section. To gain
more direct sunlight and chances for ventilation, I break down the site by adding the central courtyard above the bookstore, and add
the light shaft for family unit, which provide
light, air, and visual contemplation.

SPACE PROBLEM
TYPICAL LOT, CHICAGO,ILLINOIS
Initiated by Mies, the course embraced the

idea of structure as an architectural factor;
space as an architectural problem; proportion
as a means of architectural expression; the expressive value of materials; painting and sculpture in their relationship to architecture.
To practice these methods, I was asked to
design a courtyard house for a professional
couple who has a collection of art and enjoys
entertaining.
The final result includes one master bedroom
with bathroom, one guest bathroom, library
with study / guest bedroom, kitchen, laundry
closet, dining and living area, and a one car
garage. The space also consists of two courtyard areas.

BRONZEVILLE
REVITALIZATION
BRONZEVILLE, CHICAGO,ILLINOIS
Bronzeville is a historic neighborhood at south

side Chicago. The golden age for Jazz has
gone, as well as the notorious Robert Taylor
home; but still the area is suffered from the
vacant lots and lack of supplies.
The entire studio was doing the once Robert
Taylor home site. Each group were given two
blocks for masterplan and then zoom in into
one building to develop.
The ultimate aim of all the efforts to revitalize
Bronzeville is creating a community that can
sustain itself economically and be home to
varying income levels.
In collaboration with Melia Barnes
Here on the South Side, the projects were built in historic slum areas, before the demolition started in the 2000s. This only reinforced the invisible borders social, economic,
racial segregating the city and contributing to the problems in poor neighborhoods.
*npr on public housing
Some of the poorest neighborhoods are boxed in by expressways. University of Chicago currently use a large amount of security force to maintain the area.

FRESH MARKET: Complements the site by adding the grocery store which the neighborhood need for a long time.
It can be targeting the vegetables that going to expired in two days so the market could remain a reasonable price.

COMMUNITY CENTER: Dedicated to day-care service and afterschool program.
PHASE III
Once the Obama Library is done, it would cause a huge influence at Bronzeville. Along Garfield Boulevard, a series commercial nodes would back up the service, and meet up with the library.

COMMUNITY CENTER
The cummunity center focuses on providing services
like day-care and studios for kids and adults. The goal
is to let people have a place to gather on daily basis,
which is the most thing this community need.
The public housing program at the end of the community center was intended to housing the workers,
artists or students nearby.The interior was designed as
a communal space, similiar to dorms, which lower the
cost and enhance human interaction at the same time.

INTERIOR NOMADISM
REVOLVING CITY
The nomadic lifestyle is inherently isolating and alienating. Cities are currently
unable to provide a place for nomads may inhabit temporally while retaining
the diversity of spaces a city has to offer. Nomads require a variety of special
conditions on a gradient of permeability, from closed to provide privacy to
open and dense with activity. The mobility of the tourist has rapidly increased
in the modern era and cities are struggling with increasing difficulty to keep
up.
The Revolving City strives to provide a more welcoming urban setting for
nomads, which investigates the interactions between public and private
spaces through the use of visual connections between various privacy levels.
The city centralizes infrastructure allowing the units and landscape to revolve
around these centralized points creating a gradient of privacy levels. From the
most secluded of the infrastructure core to the most public of the landscape.
This allows nomads the variation of a city while remaining nomadic. The
privacy gradient provides an organizational strategy that extends through the
city and creates spaces which blend into each other as the activities do.
Visual connections throughout the city, assists in encouraging interactions of
the inhabitants to engage the nomads in the city regardless of the duration of
their occupation. As the landscape winds through the city it creates a redundant circulation; the main public landscape and
a secondary more private circulation for the individual neighborhoods. Redundant circulation provides a space for more interactions to occur as well as
a choice for the inhabitants.
The prototype transcends itself into a city that contains different urban conditions, which have redundant circulations for each unit to increase interactions
between the inhabitants impartial as to the level of nomadism the inhabitant
holds.
