The Research studio focused on two different scales in design: Overall master planning at Union Station in Los Angeles, CA where actual competition for the proposal happened recently, and take part of the master plan to further development on architectural quality using sheet logic.

SHEETS:Our interest in sheet logics relies on its ability to capture and reveal the Impact of forces on materials. This property of sheet allows stabilization of material in a steady state, tending to register the way force is resolved within the material. Deploying sheet logics in the design of urban-scale development, we were in-terested in the fact that fabric allows the character of the architecture to be produced by the architectural model. When translated as architectural assemblies, this character can swerve the properties of actual building materials toward those of the architectural model. The circulation paths are applied as a moment of break through sheet, which allows for releasing the excess energy and surface of fabric at their insertion points. The release results in discontinuity along the seam as the excess material detaches from mass and performs as thin gestural elements receiving circulation. The layers of space connect along these breaking points creating sense of depth and volume in space.

MASTER PLAN:Our master plan is a series of linear masses connecting the eastern and western edges of the site. Both ends of each mass are terminated with towers of varying heights and the middle bridges over the train station. The master plan organization creates intervals of day lighting and open space when experienced from the transit spaces below. These voids between masses become the primary site of our project development. The towers are located on both eastern and western ends of the develop-ment where they define the perimeter of development and the roof tops in between. They allow for direct pedestrian access from union station and Alameda Street on the west. This is accomplished by staggering their locations in plan. On the east, the towers align along the north south edge made by N. Vignes street. The bridges are programmed with alternating blocks of parking and retail. Their ends are organized with alternating vehicular entrances and office lobbies to decrease the travel distance between programs and increase adjacencies between parking and destination. This approach can be conceived as a transformation of the retail promenade model into a dense urban condition. The URBAN CANYONS are highly compressed void spaces created between the bridges that organize circulation and provide a coherent aesthetic experience at an urban scale.

This studio focused on the lighting and atmospheric quality of the space while consider-ing the structural, construction and detail part rigorously. The site of the building is located at one part of landscape of La Brea Tar Pit site at Hancock Park, next to LACMA.My intention of the project is to create the atmosphere of fuzziness or fuzzy boundary within the articulated container. By doing this, not only creates the blurred boundary with the different program in the space, the quality of the light in the space will also varies. From the sketch of the imagery which shows my idea of the pavilion, desire of connect-ing both the feature of the site and achievement of the fuzzy atmosphere of the building from my material and light study. By simply adding the horizontal blurry roof, occupies the space below and becomes a floating object from the top of the page park next to the site. Ground is also treated with same language of fuzziness between inside and outside and different programs. For the material, thin structural aluminum pipes are placed in grid and layered in differ-ent number to create different density of fuzzy atmosphere. Vertical members are twice as thick as horizontal members and supporting horizontal members and the class roof.

This studio focused on the experimentation of new single family housing design with the theme of “compression.” Subdivided lot houses as building program, the idea is to take out , deform, and squeeze from and space according to the necessity for the new type of house so that these houses will have unique program proportions as well as the new formal aesthetics.

We have looked at RD 1.5 zoning types (Restricted Density Mul-tiple Dwelling, minimum area per lot 5,000 sq. ft., per divided unit, 1500 sq. ft.) in Silver Lake, Los Angeles to find the cheap value site where has potential for the challenge to make it valuable. The subdivided houses are restricted with specific rules. For example, each house has to be structurally individual unlike the apartment complex; between the units there needs to have 4” gap; depend-ing on the places of the windows, it needs to have 3’ offset from the angle of the window perpendicular to its property lines. So the goal of the studio is to design the compressed house through many types of restrictions.

Our design through multiples of schemes, we first compressed the units skinny to become bar-type form but these bars are shifted and rotated within the lot to gain circulation and maximum outdoor space in each units. Surface of the bar peels off from the ground and from the ceiling to have openings according to the program type, location and relationship with other adjacent

units. Connecting the indoor and outdoor space with this openings of the window and the same flooring treatment at the ground gives residents have the feeling of very narrow space of the house. These bars are compressed even more in minor scales, almost like pinching, creating more convenient aperture for the natural light to come in.

In order to achieve this form, semi-monocoque system, using two thin metal sheets with steel studs in between, is used for the surface of the house and two layers of metal mesh wraps around as a secondary skin system. This material assembly allows to create the smooth continuity of the wall, window opening and the structural support and the visual dynamic moray pattern created by these two meshes.

House needs a good amount of warm light to live comfortably. In this house design, I wanted to experiment and see how day light and artificial light can create an interest-ing light quality through spaces. It’s a little bit of poetic expression but I wanted to get the atmosphere of light penetrating through spaces as if this is forming breezy for-est. The house is also functionally considered with the amount of natural light and the shade, and the privacy for the private room.

This house is design for a Japanese artist single family as imaginary client. The site is facing the beautiful view of the Venice canal. I used glass cladding entirely for the side of the house. I was also interested in some spectacle quality outside-in. Then, I de-signed all the private spaces to be like light fixtures that are as if hung and lighting up other spaces like living room. The material that I was interested in to use was washi, used in shoji doors. So then all the private spaces not only work as light fixtures but also open up to the living room and create maximum light quality.
