CONCEPT

ARLINGTON, VA. MAX. 94F FLOOR: 273,600 SQ.FT. WALL:139,200 SQ. FT.
Total anticipated annual carbon emission is 3,826 tons where the majority emission occurs from electricity consumption [4,465 tons]. The building with 40% glaze will experience high electricity use and cost, approximately 77%. Out of 77%, 45% [$181,791] will be for HVAC system. Also, out of 33% use of fuel, 87% is assumed to be utilized for HVAC system. As assumed, monthly heating and cooling loads are the highest for equipments. Therefore, the Clarendon Mixed Use Building utilized the most suitable natural lights according to the functions. The accessible green roofs on the central building benefit the heating and cooling loads and provide a get away places for people who rather enjoy the natural air conditioning.

Revit Energy Analysis Result

Raised the entire mass to produce the continuous outdoor ground level circulation Big Xpo - The infinite loop circulation Raised the higher sector of the building again to separate public and private areas and to develop a continuous public outdoor space

The development required retail and a choice of hotel or apartment or office, and a special use. Arlington is occupied mostly by young thirties to late fourties who commute to Washington D.C. or somewhere else other than Arlington. Therefore, Arlington is a quiet neighborhood during the day. My goal was to vitalize the city during the day and night. The office and apartment are located at the site to invite people to work and to live in Arlington, which would increase the working population in the town. The art gallery would be the new attraction, not only to the local residents, but to worldwide visitors. 04

LED Wire Mesh System The building with LED wire mesh still stands out clearly since the LED wire mesh is harder to spot out during the day. At night, the LED lights provide a new dynamic facade of the building. Therefore, it allows the building to have multiface.

ROCK HEWN CHURCHES LALIBELA, ETHIOPIA

The light tubes are covered with glass panels that are removeable in case of breakage. The carved rocks surround the light tubes on the ground to create pathways as well as seating areas. Saint Mesqel Lalibela ordered his people to construct eleven rock hewn churches in late 12th century as an attempt to build New Jerusalem Eleven rock hewn churches at Lalibela, Ethiopia have been listed on UNESCO heritage site since 1978. Lalibela is located about 420 miles from Addis Ababa, the Capital of Ethiopia. The tourists continuously visit the site throughout the year to see monolithic churches that are carved out of living rocks. The temperature ranges between mid 70s to low 50s with rainy seasons on July and August. The moderate temperatures allows to blend the exterior and the interior places.

The window mullions are built in the concrete walls. The windows can be replaced by installing sliding rock closures at the bottom of the window.

The integration of traditional monolithic design was emphazised to recapture the essence of UNESCO world heritage site, Rock Hewn Churches. All of seven complexes, one public and six privates, are embedded into the ground and connected with underground pathways which provide chance to feel the life at Lalibela in 13th Century.

Getting to the Travellers Inn

PRIVATE UNIT PRIVATE UNIT

The site is located about 2,000 feet above the sea level. The private units face the South to receive the most day lights. The underground paths are partially uncovered to display the actual routes that connect seven buildings. The underground pathways are indicated with carved rocks and light tubes as the above site model shows. The gorgeous mountain slopes are maintained by keeping the buildings height lows and the scenic views can be enjoyed from the travellers inn. The thirty minute donkey ride from the inn to the site adds the additional excitment during the visit to Lalibela.

Second level [15 ft] 30 minute bus ride from the airport to Lalibela, then transfer to a donkey. Once the visitors arrive at the inn, the public building welcomes them with the lines of coffee and snacks. Once the visitors are assigned to whichever unit they prefer to stay, they walk along the underground pathways lit by the natural lights through the light tubes during the day. All visitors go through them, and they experience how its like to wander underground.

The wide staircase leads stright to the upper level, the most spatial area of the building. The outdoor and indoor cafe seats create a friendlier atmosphere to attract pedastrians and residents. The site is currently used as a parking lot, which is very spatial and accessible by people. The spatial interior was obtained by 20 feet high ceiling at the entrance and 5 feet ceiling incline throughout the building.

MONTMARTRE, PARIS, FRANCE

The goal of this project was to promote Tango lessons and educational information to the visitors and local residents. The incorporation of two distinct areas, a local (Rue Gabriell) and a public (Place du Tertre) communities that are separated by 18 meter slope, was the most significant issue to resolve. The concept focused on creating a bridge to connect the upper and the lower levels of the neighborhood.

The upper and the lower levels are connected by a long starcase on the west side of the building. The building resembles the site by having two different functions, the institution on North and exhibitions on South. These areas are connected by the courtyard bridge. The Tango Institute itself functions as a bridge to encourage the visitors and residents to interact and to mingle between the upper and lower communities. West Elevation East Elevation

TRANSPORT-A-BALL

WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO

Direct Lights - Instead of inserting photoboltaic panels in all walls, the top quarter of the walls are clear glass windows to allow natural lights A ball is easy to tranport and it can be placed either on solid surfaces or in the water. Therefore, the sphere is an adequate shape for the microhouse. The sphere allows a large volume inside with the same width and height, which gives freedom of organizing interior space according to the user.

Full Layers of the Sphere - The rubber umbrella water collector, photoboltaic embedded polycargonated glasses, and vacuum insulation

Triple Layered Wall - For exterior side of the wall, photovoltaic panels are inserted between two polycarbonated glasses. - Vacuum insulation is used to reduce the thickness of the wall by ten times compared to the typical insulation system.

Umbrella Water Collector - Made out of rubber, therefore it can be folded up or down depends on the weather Dual Function Pipe - The outer pipe is connected to the water tank and the center pipe is used as a chimney.

Floor Plan

Space Efficiency
The floors and the polycarbonated glass walls are divided into four pieces, which overlaps on one another to allow the ball to fold into 1/4 of a sphere. The folded sphere has a dimension of 5m by 2.5m, and it could be loaded on the truck and head off to wherever. The fixed furniture including a sink, cabinets, closets, a toilet, and a bed are attached to the adjustable center poll. Therefore, when the sphere is fully folded, the furniture forms a single line. The water tank is located on the bottom of the sphere to provide a stablization. The tripod legs and a ladder allow the Transport-A-Ball to be installed anywhere, seashore, desert, mountain, city, and so on.
