The general museum functionality in Taiwan has become an issue due to its lack of permanent collec-tion and limitation on available space. Even with the effort of exhibiting worldwide famous art works, the museum performance often falls short because of overly dense population where general public can-not appreciate any art work at a reasonable distance.

With the new city planning decision, this thesis proposal will challenge the traditional museum’s functionality in Taiwan and further examine what is most suited for an up-coming museum that could potentially lead the nation towards a newer genera-tion.

The Morningside Park is chosen to be the urban landscape for a diverse recreational space/campus facility for the Harlem neigh-borhood and the Columbia campus. The programs mimic the ones at Columbia University including specific sizes for each classroom.The project connects the park to the Harlem neighborhood and the Columbia campus, and it functions as a shared space for edu-cation, entertainment, and public transporting system.

The tube structure is created in Rhino using grasshopper. The form acts as the circulation flow and the structure itself. Due to the large program scale, the cross wire structure performs as a lighter element which also weaves in between the tree-line.

The three-dimensional transla-tion of Chernikov’s drawing becomes a module of scale in the PLAY hotel, used to strip away the quantitative restriction and boundary of the body.

SITE STRATEGY:The Ithaca site has an apparant level change between west and east side.The program (housing/building density) dynamic between the two sides are also noticeable.To enhance our concept strategy, the site itself is also viewed as a “poche space within space.”
