The Project is located at the Baruch Housing, lower east side of Manhattan. The main idea of the project is to create a new sustainable facade system, which includes all the building systems, produces energy for the whole building, and still keeps the transparency of the facade. By doing so, the building not only can save the ceiling space, but also save the energy consumption. For the program, the main idea is to introduce a new program for the neighborhood, in order to bring more people.

My idea is to connect the two existing residential buildings with a new office building in the middle. So the three buildings become one large mix-used building. And the parts connect the three building will be both the indoor green space and the buffer zone for the building.

CONCEPT The concept begins with idea of "city within the city" from Oswald Mathias Ungers, the design tries to bring the urban sequences of the city into the project, by creating two courtyards.

THESIS STATEMENT The biggest problem of the state-controlled children’s education in the People’s Republic of China is that the system focuses more on the method of education rather than learning of children themselves. Thus the children are lack of internal motivation to learn. Moreover, the typical education in China tend to isolate the students from the neighborhood, lacking a chance for students to really interact and experiment hands on with new knowledge. However, this problem aspect can be overcame by learning from the western pedagogical strategies, such as the Montessori Education. For this educational approach, the primary goal is to stimulate children’s internal motivation to learn. Children have more freedom to make decisions. What are they going to learn? Where? When? And How?
strategies could rely on architectural tactics which produce the following effects. The school itself becomes a part of the urban infrastructure to connect the school community with the neighborhood, which allows children to have more interaction with its surroundings and the society. Also, within the school, minor learning space is added to create a framework within which children can use to develop their own meaning of learning. At the same time, informal learning spaces are created to extend and enhance children’s learning experiences outside the classroom boxes. In this way, I contend that the school as a learning institution and the architecture that gives it spatial form and urban presence both act as a critique of current practice.

Haidian District is one area full of different educational institutions including the world-known universities such as Peking University, and Tsing-hua University. There are other colleges such as the China Technology School of Astronomy, the Technology Institute of Engineer, the Beijing Film Academy and so on. The convergence of different college campuses provide Haidian District a healthy precedent condition for positive learning atmosphere.

SITE SELECTION My proposed site will be situated between Tsing-hua University and Peking University. (As indicated in the next page.) Both Universities have their own School of Education. My proposed school can become part of the universities, used as an experimental learning environment. Moreover, there are several existing elementary schools, which can be used as comparisons to my proposed design.

CONCEPT Through the use of digital, simulation and analog technology, this project address the issue of air quality in NYC while simultaneously exploring the resurgence of public infrastructural architecture to reduce energy consumption, re-mediate environmental degradation and harvest and distribute energy. The basic scheme of the project is a tower with a giant open on the top. The footprint of building butts up against Canal street and Varick Street with the major Filtration system existent her because of the prevailing winds. Open plaza or garden space is placed facing the research facility and near the basketball court near 6th Ave. The placement is created to mimic the park near canal and to increase greenery within New York City.

SUSTAINABILITY Form breaks part since it is void and to allow for visual connection. Angles to smaller roof print so that green spaces receive sunlight. Bulk up footprint of building to accommodate program and air cleansing system. Create facades that pull outsiders into space facade. Push in to decrease footprint which allows for more green space and existing paths to be untouched.

A FARMER'S MARKET (also farmers market) is a physical retail market featuring foods sold directly by farmers to consumers. Farmers' markets typically consist of booths, tables or stands, outdoors or indoors, where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, meats, and sometimes prepared foods and beverages. They are distinguished from public markets, which are generally housed in permanent structures, open year-round, and offer a variety of non-farmer/producer vendors, packaged foods and non-food products. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers'_ market> 1
In the same stand, different products are put together. Every product is compared to each other.
In the same market, different stands are planned one by one. Every stand is compared to each other.

Onodaga Creek is treated as the seperate lines of Syracuse downtown and rural area. People from two areas enjoy different life styles. Two parts are in comparison. Similarly, the site is divided into two parts by Onondaga Creek. Each part can represent one of the urban and rural areas, and juxtapose to the other. 2
