AN ECOLOGICAL APPROACH TO SOCIAL HOUSING IN MANHATTAN’S CHINATOWN M a s s T i m b e r M a n h a t t a n i s m s c o n n e c t s t h e c i t y ’s n a t i v e l a n d s c a p e w h i l e p a y i n g homage to the strong cultural roots of Chinatown. The design serves as the connection between the historical ecology and the contemporary demographic. Through the rewilding of the groundscape and the cultivation of the roofscape, these spaces serve as an urban oasis, blurring boundaries of what public space l o o k s l i k e i n t h e c i t y. One of the guiding principles of the design is preserving the multi-generational c u l t u r e t h r o u g h f l e x i b i l i t y.

3DAIT is a research project that focuses on using innovative techniques to create resilient housing for rural Iowa communities in response to the derecho that hit Iowa in 2020. The project utilizes 3D printed concrete to construct the housing units. The current objective/ research focus is to understand how 3D printed concrete parts can form a whole. Looking into details and joints, the goal is to understand how these elements can be joined and sealed, to perform well thermally in Iowa’s climate.
