Working with Professor Yun Kyu Yi.

Performance Testing of a new thermal-sensitive material for shading application Setting up a parametric-controlled shading geometry of mimicking the temperature responding material, and coupling dynamic surface temperature from energy simulation with daylighting simulation.

Evaluation of the value of building performance simulation tools in past five yearsReviewing the past five years’ student works from Building Performance Simulation class, and summering, doing statistical analysis of simulation tools’ usage frequency and specific purpose in each design stage.

StopThe term "border" in general means a stopping point or line, in which one separates from the other.

Constant FlowA loop is the geometry that has no point or end. Everything inside this loop flows like natural components: wind, tide, light, heat, stream, etc.

ExtrusionThe middle is extruded to create a fluent form that considers the functional requirements. The central volume is a mountain shape and the highest point of the island.

SoftenA step further, soften sharp volume into a warm hug to welcome people from city.

Natural ReflectionThis man-made island incorporates natural elements into its structure and environment.

CirculationEfficient circulation has to integrate multiple forms of transportation. Bus shuttle, bicycle and pedestrian lines are above the island surface, with unique and phenomenal views. No public vehicle is able to access to island area.

STRUCTURE BLOW-UP DIAGRAM

Structure is using the bridge cable-hanging structure to minimize the material usage. 30 main structures fame skele-ton, of which is combined of two 36”x18” SHS steels. The connection between main structure and base is pin connec-tion, which could allow slightly movement and avoiding the damages by environment forces. A few arrays of adjustable skin panels are placed for two purposes, which are protect-ing wind turbines from extreme wind condition, and adjust the air flow to help inside passive ventilation.

Natural Ventilation

A natural ventilation analysis was completed for the lower two stories. The existing massing could block the majority of wind and reduce its speed. But the wind in front of the two attachments needed to be reinforced to pass through those entire buildings.

Wind Gates

Partially slanting walls create wind gates, which could change the wind’s direction and increase its power. In doing so, the wind blows through the entire building following a predictable path.

This part of project was originally intended to improve the same space that had achieved LEED v4 illuminance calculations criteria (which requires 75% of occupied area has 300-3000 lux daylighting level at 9am. and 3pm. on September 21st), by using spatial daylight autonomy criteria (which requires at least 55% of spatial daylight autonomy300/50%, and no more than 10% of annual sunlight exposure1000, 250H). After running a few trials, it was noticed that ASE remains at a high percentage, despite of using different shading elements with different spacing and depth, screens with different perforated RAD material, and perforated modeled screens. This raise questions that, is 1000lux as ASE’s threshold reasonable or achievable for this space, and is current annual daylight simulation method accurate while to simulate perforated material. Based on the simulations and researches, it was concluded that a 10% ASE is unachievable for a single space, especially with any direct sunlight exposure.

CAFE LAYOUT CAFE LAYOUTMassing Adjustment

Based on the existing structural frame and daylight condition, two skylights were added to the roofs of the two secondary structures. Additionally, a massing adjustment was made to the main building to solve the daylight problem.

Central Courtyard

A two-story central courtyard was placed on the third floor. This open-to-sky internal courtyard has a few skylights to introduce natural light into the second floor.
