Resume
On top of a MTA train station, under an exist-ing building, this project was to create a place of entertainment for everyday riders to enjoy. The core concept was to bring greenery into a
concrete jungle. This area contain a lot of skyrise buildings, office buildings, and commcial but
not much greenery. The design was presened to the people who is working or shopping in the
area so they have a green area to rest.
The Hidden Jungle
Located inside the Gowanus Canal, on the cor-ner of 3rd avenue and 3rd street, this project
was to renew the area from being an industrial wasteland into a main tourist attraction. The
design was inspired by the existing artist and the industrial industry within the area. The uses in-clude a small art manufacturing plant, an educa-tional area, and a free market place for the artist
to display/sell their work.
The Gowanus’s Art Show
Located inside Washington Square Park, this park installment was created to bring a place for relaxation and a bit of entertainment. Inspired by a tree, this structure lifes the rider up into
the air, inside its “pods” to around the hight of a tree. This provides a new experience for daily park users and an overview of the park for new
visitors.
Washington Park Installment
In the corner of Adams St and Sands St, the purpose of this project is to create a fitness cen-ter. Being able to look pass into the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge, this building is designed to attract daily citizens who uses the Brooklyn
Bridge, College students who’s on a gap between classes, and normal citizens who lives in this
area. Within this building, there is green floor, where plants grown even in the winter, a swim-
ming pool, and typical fitness equipments.
The Winter Garden
Located in the corner of York Street, and Bridge Street, connecting to the 278 Brooklyn Queens Express, this project was to design a dorm for
the college student in the area. The focus of this project was to attract people from the highway, into this school by creating a garden on the roof at the highway level. Seeing “floating trees” and young adults relaxing in that area while driving
on the highway will spark some curiosity and at-tract attention.
