Typ.246
This project is a 40 units apartment complex located in 121-139 Brooklyn New York. Before an Apartment, this is a parasite that lives in the site.
Although the site is not located on any major traffic pathway, the traffic accident rate is extremely high compare to any other location in Brooklyn.
Through the graph it appears that there are no supermarket near by the site, people living in the area are having trouble getting goods to their home, especially people living in NYCAH located on the North side of the site.
Everyday there are over thousandth children crossing the road around site, it directly lead to the high traffic accident rate.
There is a huge volume of open space on the South East cornet of the site.
The design of a multiple dwelling extends the issues explored in the parallel wall house project. This problem involves the transformation of the single family unit into both one and two bedroom apartment types. In addition, it requires the investigation of the building section.
How do we able to enjoy tall double heigh space in the clouded city?
This Project involves the exploration of a prototypical living unit. The problem is intended to concentrate on a number of specific issues.
What does exterrior space mean to interrior spaces?
How we make the space “Flexible”?
By Placing the exterrior space in the middle and using the flexible sliding glasswalls, the small town house will be able to have 4 different schemes for different needs.

“From Archipelago to Archipelago”
This is the project for my Design Five urban planning competition and has received the second place during the competition. It is about creating an entire new futuristic flood resilient city on Floyd Bennett Filed Brooklyn. Its goal is to eventually balance the development between northern and southern Brooklyn, giving space for IT industry to grow in New York City and creating a flood resilience system to both lower the damage of flooding in Jamaica Bay and also be prepared for the future water level raising.
When we walk down on the Flatbush Avenue from north to the south, it is hard to ignore that the lack of development between northern and southern Brooklyn. If we keep walking on the Flatbush Avenue toward south, we will get to the Floyd Bennett Field, where used to be a military airport back in the World War II. Many people believe Floyd Bennett Field lies in a land that nothing has ever built on, but the story has completely changed when we found an used iron on the Dead Horse Bay.
Back in the 1900’s, there were 1,500 families living on the Barren Island (Johnson, 2000) which were used to be a archipelago in the southern Brooklyn, but later on they landfilled the place and removed all the residents to construct the airport, Floyd Bennett field. The airport was a Naval Air Station during the WWII, but it became a wasteland because of the completion of JFK.
We decided to bring the history back to this land and make it an important part of New York City. But first we had to solve the flooding issue in the site. As the site lays in the second level flood zone, it has Far Rockaway peninsula on the South side to absorb part of the wave during the storm, however because of the landscape of the lower bay and Jamaica bay, it forms an unique wave direction and wave fetch around the site, which the wave hits the site much stronger from southwestern direction to northeastern direction, meanwhile the other part of the wave travels with low velocity into the Jamaica bay by passing the interval between the dead horse bay and Far Rockaway peninsula.(United States. Army. Corps of Engineers., 1985)
We decided to cut canals into the Floyd Bennett field to let water flow through the Field, by using the knowledge from Fluid Mechanics and concept of Wake Zone to make Floyd Bennett field a big filter so that it changes the direction of the wave to specific ways to lower the damage from storm in the entire Jamaica Bay area, at the sometime, land that dig out for canal can build on top of the existing land so that the archipelagos are prepared for the future water level raise.
We have also considered about make the designed site sustainable by using underwater farming, study has show that crops grow better under water because they don't have to face extreme weather. Another design strategy is that we prohibit personal vehicles to enter the site to keep the site quiet and more space for people to enjoy, but we are providing new sort of public transportation such as Air train and Water taxi in the site. Furthermore, we are also providing the new zoning code such as high green space ratio to keep the site greenest as possible.
In conclusion, the eventual goal of this project is to improve the land usage of southern Brooklyn, to provide space for IT Industry to grow in NYC, and to protect surrounding are from storm and future water level raise.
