TRANSFORMATION

Microunit Housing and Hotel
Penndesign 601 Design Studio III

The project is the hybridization of a hotel and residential building in high density urban area of Tribeca, New York city. Public green spaces around the site, ie: St. John and Washington-market parks, work as an inspiration to create new types of vertical garden spaces within the building. Based on the study of Part-to-whole relationship, trying to extract fusing and interlocking, inter-relationship parameters to construct the aggregation of hotel and residential units from inside and out. Vertical gardens from inside and out as public program organize the units and breaks down traditional level-to-level spatial systems, introducing a way to simulate the movement and interaction of people and nature.

Fairmount Dam has played a historic role in making the river humanly accessible and is very close to Center City.

SUSTAINABLE FACADE DESIGN, Miami
Penndesign Environmental Systems
Critic: Chandler Ahrens
Fall 2015

Based on initial case study in first assignment, we are trying to design prototypical façade systems for a generic box building and measure the performance levels through analytical software in the next step. The objective of the design process is to identify performative goals that will be modeled into a parametric façade system.

The site is located in the city of Miami, which features hot and humid in southeast region of United States. The climate condition reminds us to define a dynamic shading and moisture-reducing system. So the whole facade has two functional layer, wchich means shading panel layer and water curtain. When the moisture air pass through the curtain, it will condense because of temperature difference.
