01起 HYDE PARK BRANCH LIBRARY

Address:

2205 W Florence Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90043

Instructor:

Andrew Zago

Single work

The library uses Tony Smith’s sculptures - smog, smug, and smoke - as reference. All of them are consisted of tetrahedrons and octo-hedrons, and formed by the repeatation of the units. The method, through which the units develop, results in very special space. After research “Smog”, I use the same tetrahedrons and octohedrons in Tony Smith’s sculpture creat a new sculpture. After that, I made the third one by making some change about the units.

The library also uses the changed tetrahedrons and octohedrons to compose the library. I also use another layer as sunshading board.

All the parts of the library is transformed from the original unit of Tony Smith’s Sculpture. The walls, the transformation of octohedrons, are also book shelves.

The site is beside Richard Neu-tra’s VDL at silver lake of Los Angeles. It is challenge because I have to consider both the rela-tion with tradition (VDL) and with the road behind the house.

Sunlight can reach the garden beside main entrance through light well. Also, the slopes can collect rain for plants in the garden.

I made the ground floor very transparent to make sure people from the street behind the house are able to see the lake in front of the house. However, in order to keep the owner’s quiet life from interrupting, the site is all filled with water, which can also adjust the microclimate.

On the left side of the entrance is the garden. Above the garden is one bedroom. That is the reason the circle windows of bedroom is smaller than the gar-den’s, because the plants in the garden need more sunlight.

On this wall, you can see the reflection of tradition (VDL), but it will never be exactly same. The impression of VDL is shattered and twisted. This is a metaphor of the criticalness of this house.

016

There is also an interaction be-tween furnitures and the figures of the walls. The walls continue becoming the furnitures, which also effect the curvatures of the walls.

MAKING & MEANING

Making + Meaning is a five-week summer program at the Southern California Institute of Architecture that introduces the principles of architecture in a hands-on exploration of spatial experimentation, design methodologies and the creative process.

026

Team member: Yunlong Li, Kevin Chen, and Ryan Ekstrom.

In this final assignment, we are asked to create a human-scale space. Three people should be possible to stay in this space, where we made these three people have three different poses.

FORECLOSED: REHOUSING THE

AMERICAN DREAMNew York MoMA invited five teams to develop proposals for housing that would open new routes through the mortgage-foreclosure crisis that continues to afflict the United States. The project of our team is located in Rialto of California. In the team, My job is making model.

Team members: Kevin Chen, Yunlong Li, Cheng Lu, Qian Xu, Yogi Yoswara.

The purpose of this project was to explore and utilize the advan-tage of a specific type of plastic to create a structural system. Ductility and malleability are the main functions of this project. The curvature of the system is designed in such a way that a network of truss system was developed with the weaving of the plastic. Component act as compression or tension mem-bers and the corners of the curvature behave in such a way that tension is on the outside of the material, while compression is on the inside of the member.

VISUAL STUDY

Team member: Suky Ho, Ryan Hopkins, Yunlong Li, Sergio Sorma-chea.

We try to imagine the future of metropolis and use a cubism way to present it. In our mind, the building in big city will be higher and higher in the future, so the transportation will not limited only on the ground. There will also be transportation underground and between
