In the past decades, Downtown Detroit has fallen caused by serious population decline. Current Hart Plaza as a waterfront city park couldnt play the expected role to stimulate activities.

Detroit Zigzag Park follows specific geometry of spatial layouts in order to create diverse routes and spaces that extend the visiting experience for pedestrians. Detroit Zigzag Park built a new relationship between urban context and park landscape. The gaps and edges created by zigzag could be perfect locations for infrastructures such as fountain, observatory, bikeway, super market, retail, pharmacy, and restaurant. Meanwhile, inner plaza is used for temporary events or festivals. The feature of multiple functions earns the opportunity for public to work here, play here, communicate here, and rest here. It redefines a new generation city park that plays a more important role to energize urban environment.



Manhattan 2111Bold Concept of Post-Sandy Manhattan

2011 Urban Design StudioCritic: Roy Strickland

The concept took the long view 25 to 100 years out and emerged from a set of assumptions. These included decreases in regional climate stability; global decreases in the availability and affordability of oil; increases in Manhattans population; and increasing emphasis on health, education, research, technology and tourism in the citys economy. The team did identify an important constant: the power of the street grid in organizing Manhattans urbanism. It also understood that the concepts capital costs in a city where the new Second Avenue subway line is expected to cost $17 billion would be high but when placed against the New York areas contribution of nearly 10 percent of the nations GDP (as quantified by the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto), would be worth it.

Northtown HoustonMix-used Downtown Development

2012 Urban Design StudioCritic: Douglas Kelbaugh

Houston Downtown is one of the typical central business districts in United States; single land use, strongly depended by automobile transportation. This traditional city pattern causes huge obstacle of sustainable lifestyle.

The master plan proposes large-scale mix-used and recreational development at the north of Houston downtown in order to create a 24-hour vibrant urban environment. Mixed-used district provides over 30,000 houses for citizens who live, work, and hangout here. By introducing Transit-Oriented Development, new bus and light rail system connect houses, park, retails, malls, offices, and Amtrak station, people are easier to access anywhere by public transportation. Waterfront green corridor as City Park physically connects community parks in order to provide recreation, fresh air, and open space for public.

S.M.L.XL Mixed-use TowerBusiness and Educational Center in Taipei City

2008 Architecture StudioCritic: Chun-Hsiung Wang

Mixed-use building is everywhere in Taipei City. Buildings can accommodate diverse unrelated functions such as residence, retail, studio, and office. The lifestyle creates very interesting phenomenon. It is vital, efficient, and free. This project aims to integrate office, market, library, and school into a tower. By separating spaces into four scales (S,M,L,XL), implanting different uses of each box creates a extremely mixed-use building.

The Board WalkBayou Open-Air Recreation District in Houston

Retrofitting West BloomfieldUrban Refill and Mixed-Use Development

2012 Sustainable Urbanism SeminarCritic: Kit McCullough

2012 Hines CompetitionCritic: Douglas Kelbaugh

This site is located at the north side of Bayou River which is weak connection with Houston Downtown. Our plan is to propose mixed-used development that should include affordable houses and recreational riverfront. The Board Walk provides additional value by approaching sustainability. The main ideas include maximizing mobility, incorporating hydrology, celebrating diversity, and supporting wellness.

People looking for housing in Suburban Detroit will prioritize single-family housing, good schools, or proximity to work over environmentally sustainable lifestyles. Since there is short and medium term demand for the suburban lifestyle it is safe to assume that there will be people living in suburban communities for the foreseeable future. In light

of that, this project aims to retrofit suburban communities, such as West Bloomfield, into more energy efficient communities. Additionally, it presents a mixed-use landuse model as an alternative to strip malls and vast parking deserts in hopes that residents will slowly embrace it.

Alabawan Community CenterHistoric Japanese Dormitory Renovation

2008 Land + Scape StudioCritic: Min-Chieh Kang

2007 Architecture StudioCritic: Wei-Shieng Sung

This project concentrates on solving three questions. First, how to design an easy constructed and deconstructed structure for temporary use? Second, how to strategically share space with visitors and local community? Third, how to form an eye-catching elevation that is effective to attract attention of public?

Alabawan is a declined community in Hoping Island. In this case, local government plans to use its building heritage as catalyst to thrive again. The first step is to create a new community center which accommodates diverse functions as library, kindergarten, playground, meeting room, and visitor center. By renovating existing two old Japanese Dormitories, I further design five pieces of walls as structure to separate each space for different uses. Considering sustainability of whole project, applying local materials and construction skills is necessary.
