WORK SAMPLES

Spring 2013Infrastructure Planning Studio II (current) - these 3 drawings are progress drawings, a part of the semester project we are focusing on (vulnerability - resiliency). This project wilil be on going until May, 2013.+ Seeing like a State - New Jersey Investigating the transportation network of New Jersey.+ Port Authority City Mapping vulnerabilities and proposing resiliency for a targeted site - I chose to focus on Port Authority on both regional (25 mile radius from Statue of Liberty to the PATH rapid system, a critical link between NJ and NY, even more critical for the growing urbanization of NJ such as Harrison and Newark. + Jersey City base map Created a working base map that consists of various data from GIS shapefiles in order to create layers of different informational base maps. The local focus of Port Authority primarily resides here, at the Exchange Place and Grove Street Path stations.

New Jersey is a departure state, a destination state, a corridor state. Goods are shipped from it, to it, through it. Anyone driving from Interchange 13 to Inter-change 14 on the pike can see it all a major international airport, a container port used by the worlds shipping and rail lines and, of course, a mega-highway-STAR LEDGER.....Rather than increasing our reliance on debt, New Jersey must identify new revenue sources, such as an updated gas tax, that will allow us to begin paying for todays transportation improvements with todays dollars. New revenue sources will allow the safe, convenient transportation system necessary for a healthy economy and sustained quality of life- NEW JERSEY FUTURE.........A New Jersey Assembly panel passed legislation Thursday that would establish a state transportation infrastructure bank to leverage public and private investments to finance capital projects supporting

the long-term overhaul of New Jersey's transportation network -Law360, New York (January 17, 2013, 2:24 PM ET)..........651 of the 6,554 bridges in New Jersey (9.9%) are considered structurally deficient1,717 of the 6,554 bridges in New Jersey (26.2%) are considered functionally obsolete.

New Jersey received $172.2 million from the Federal Highway Bridge Fund in FY2011 - infrastructurereportcard.org...urban planners and infrastructure experts told the New

York Times the shoddy conditions are also the result of state government officials makings shortsighted policy decisions -- often more eager to build new highways than repair existing streets or improv-

ing mass transit, not to mention repeatedly tapping transportation funds for other projects.....Driving on roads in need of repair costs New Jersey motorists $3.476 million a year in extra vehicle repairs and operating costs $601 per motorist.

66% of New Jerseys roads are in poor or mediocre condition.New Jersey has 38,837 public road miles.

New Jerseys highway vehicle-miles traveled in 2009 was approxi-mately 8,299 per capita, ranking it 42th in the nation.

New Jerseys gas tax of 14.5 cents per gallon has not been

increased in 21 years............New Jersey has 407,050 annual unlinked passenger trips via transit

systems motor bus, heavy rail, light rail, and commuter rail.....New

Jerseys ports handled 155.6 million short tons of cargo in 2009,

ranking it 4th in the nation.RAIL......New Jersey has 360 miles of inland water-

ways, ranking it 23rd in the nation.....651 of the

6,554 bridges in New Jersey (9.9%) are considered structurally deficient.1,717 of the 6,554 bridges in New Jersey (26.2%)

are considered functionally obsolete.New Jersey received $172.2 million from the

Federal Highway Bridge Fund in FY2011.....There are 46 public-use airports in

New Jersey....."There's so much of the PATH service either at or below the level of the surrounding waters that, of all of the

transit systems in New Jersey, PATH is among the most vulnerable," - Martin E. Robins, Rut-

gers University s Transportation Center...The PATH represents a

critical linkage that will always need to be

Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ) was established in 1921 as a bi-state district authroity through an interstate compact.

The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey conceives, builds, operates and maintains infrastructure critical to the New York/New Jersey region's trade and

transportation network. These facilities include America's busiest airport system, marine terminals and ports, the PATH rail transit system, six tunnels and bridges between New

York and New Jersey, the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, and the World Trade Center.

For more than eight decades, the Port Authority has worked to improve the quality of life for the more than 17 million people who live and work in New York and New Jersey - a

region that supports 8.6 million jobs with an estimated gross regional product of more than $929 billion.

Fall 2011Infrastructure Planning Studio I+ A campus master plan at the Meadowlands, Secaucus, NJ This project was about creating a campus at our choosing to either take part of the site or the whole site. I chose to

create a hybrid of campus for School of Botany, Horticulture, and Farming while proposing to reuse and reappropriate existing buildings. Additionally, a public recreation is simultaneously created by the water, education and leasing of land systems.


each cell is further subdivided based on .05 mils=264 (city block),to provide familiar walkingdistance for people.

Points plotted from existing access points and intersections.

Points used as centroids togenerate voronoi tessellationas cells (subdivided land).

Fall 2011Infrastructure Planning Studio I

+ Interface with the Machine - Regional


The purpose was to choose an interaction we come face to face in our daily lives. I wanted to investigate MTAs metrocard and see how far it can get a passenger without having to transfer. I have concluded through this short investigation that NYC subway systems/bus is truly a democratic one.

Infrastructure is...2

The Democratic $2going your way!She is canary yellow.She is probably in your wallet.

She is anti-Paris. She says NO to transfer fees from one train to another.

She generously allows you to go anywhere in Manhattan and its boroughs,from Coney Island to the Bronx,from Flushing Meadows Park to the Promenade.

They say laid end to end, NYC Transit train tracks would stretch from New York City to Chicago.This impressive length has no effect on her.She wil let you travel this length and back, all with just one fare of $2.

She debuted in 1994 at Wall street and Whitehall subway stations.

Some were skeptical of her debut,some welcomed her arrival.Whichever side you are on, it is undeniable,she has become New York Citys ICON.

She is the Metrocard, the official New York Citys Subway card.

As you will see, she will show you what democratic subway ride is all about!

This gradient drawing illustrates the different median income level neighborhoods the subway lines go through, from Fulton Street Station.

One can travel from the lowest median income level neighbor-hoods in Manhattan- University Heights ($22,1000) & Highbridge ($27,500) through one of the highest median income level neighborhoods such as the Upper East Side ($178,800) & the Financial District where the Fulton Street Station is located ($140,900), all the way to Coney Island with median income ($46,600).

Fall 2011Infrastructure Planning Studio I

+ Infrastructure system mapping and proposal in Newark, NJ


Newark, NJ was our experimental ground for recognizing vulnerable infrastructure system at our choosing. There is an extreme flooding area in this city, near the Passaic river that is caused by combined sewage overflow. I became highly interested in this long ignored system in this city and proposed a phased intervention to alleviate this problem.

COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOW (CSO) 101Most of the time, combined sewer systems are able to transport all of the wastewater to a treatment plant, where it is treated and then discharged into a water body.

During periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt, however, the volume of wastewater traveling through a combined sewer system can exceed the capacity of the sewer system or treatment plant. For this reason, combined sewer systems are designed to overflow occasionally and discharge excess wastewaterdirectly to nearby streams, rivers, lakes or other water bodies - UNTREATED.

These overflows, called combined sewer overflows (CSOs), contain not only stormwater but also pollutants such as untreated human and industrial waste, toxic materials and debris.

Stormwater may also contain pollutants, including oil, grease and toxic substances, pickedup as rain washes across roads or fields. These pathogens, solids and toxic pollutants may be discharged directly to local waters when it rains, resulting in a discharge that exceeds water quality standards.

They pose risks to human health, threaten aquatic habitats and life, andimpair the use and enjoyment of the nations waterways.

Fall 2012Options Architecture Studio+CCCP (The Center for Contemporary Creative Practice Program) @ the Brooklyn Navy Yard, NY


This vibrant historically rich site called the Brooklyn Navy Yard served asthe overall site for this project. The specific dock was the drydock #2. This building had to creatively reinterpret the growing trend of not just housing art but fabricating/producing art. In my investigation, I ended up changing the program entirely where I aimed to provide a space for the biggest possible art in comparison to the biggest art that has been made in the past century, borrowing the Goodyear blimp to show scale context throughout the drawings.

Spring 2012Comprehensive Architecture Studio+ A mixed-use building in Lower East/Chinatown edge, NY, NY


Considering the diverse site conditions, we were asked to create a mixed-use building. I proposed to create a truly luxury residential building where the residential tower is strictly residential, while connecting the commercial building at critical points. The space between these 2 buildings simultaneously creates a public plaza with dynamic views within this courtyard. Additionally, water features are used to help with cooling during the summer.

Residential:-Since our site sits in between confluences of various neighboring culture-scapes, I want to diversify housing typologies by decreasing some of the unit numbers

while adding more options in terms of square footages in order to attract more potential residents.- Mixed use philosophy will also extend into the residential portion of this building where different unit types will mingle together in order to create unique

opportunities physically and socially.

Commercial:-China has an unmatched history of martial arts that extended and influenced different types of martial arts the world over. There are plenty of conventional

gyms around our site and I thought that would be redundant. I see this site as a new opportunity to introduce and encourage different user types by introduc-ing a different kind of exercise facility. This facility will house Tai-chi,/Tao-ist yoga, and Kung fu focusing on Wushu Kung-fu (think of Jet Li). These different

martial arts that range from meditative to super physical as Wushu I believe would attract and invite diverse group of people, extending beyond the sites immediate surroundings.

- I want to revitalize the street level retail by creating a market place with Asian style food courts at street level. Additionally, during nice weather, the faade could disappear so that the edge between the interior and the street disappears where the interior becomes streetscape.

- Additionally, I want to marry programs to make this building respond to its vibrant culture meaning, the roof of the market place will serve as an exhibition space where artists, martial artists can put on stimulating shows for both the tenants and the public, thus merging the private and the public even more.

-Another goal is to take the street scape of Chinatown where markets continue inside to the edge of the curb sometimes and mix that concept vertically, mixing up the private and commercial throughout the building.

Spring 2011Options Architecture Studio+ A high-rise building in Bryant Park, NY, NY


Nestled between old and new buildings in Bryant Park, while facing the great lawn of Bryant Park, this high-rise building pays homage to what has existed before within this infill space. By injecting lines from critical points, I proposed to subdivide the void where the void becomes fragmented space and the lines suggest structural systems to hold these fragments of voids in place.

Then the envelope components I named slakes (which also have mechanical properties), if miniaturized, one could imagine these components as flakes and they carry an affect of a snake undulating (flake + snake = slake). So with this drawing, it would be appropri-ate to say, its slaking in Bryant Park.
