In the history of urban planning, this one of the oldest urban planning system is the most used or adopted system as singular concept. Grid city is not limited to ancient cities but adopted into contempory cities as well. It is not limited to European cities but appearing in Asian cities as well. This gives us a simple fact of grid system. It is flexible enough to be adopted into nearly any types of condition. The idea of this project is generated by the flexibility of grid system. Since the site was not specified in the competition, the project is more about finding a system of composing 4 houses than the actual form or layout of them. Then what is a system making? It has to be a flexible system that can be adopted in lower density as well as high density. Also it has to be a system that allows various possibilities in layout instead of few options. Having a 36m by 36m block for an experimental site, I overlayed 6m grid system on top of it so that the grid became a background of laying out 4 houses. Once I set up a grid system, there is almost no limitation of composition of 4 houses. Not only the compositions of 4 houses, but also the actual forms of houses can be generated from the grid system and this also gives us numbers of options. Just as we follow grid lines from point A to B, there are plenty of routes that lead us to point B. Giving a thickness from the grid pattern, I could make a volume for each house. The density of a block or the volume of each house is defined by number of modules that a foot print of a house occupies. For example, 4-stick house occupies 4 modules of grid and any shape that uses 4 modules is defined as 4-stick house. This simple idea gives us lots of potential in various compositions in density as well as couryard spaces and housing types. Therefore, the public space or semi-public space in each block can have different composition from the other even when they have same density or same types of houses. Of course, you can also achieve same density in a singular block with different house type compositions. This also gives us a possibility of freedom that each owner of the house can choose their own house type and location of it at his or her own will. This unpredictive-ness of the project is another strength of this system. Thus, the grid system that is proposed here can be explained as a field of infrastructure that allows variations, owners’ will, and freedom. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3m_perspective.jpg" width="670" height="345" width_o="850" height_o="438" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3m_perspective_o.jpg" data-mid="5120817" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3m_diagram1.jpg" width="670" height="645" width_o="809" height_o="779" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3m_diagram1_o.jpg" data-mid="5120841" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3m_diagram2.jpg" width="670" height="251" width_o="1000" height_o="376" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3m_diagram2_o.jpg" data-mid="5120853" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3M_Plan_1block.jpg" width="670" height="635" width_o="1000" height_o="948" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3M_Plan_1block_o.jpg" data-mid="5120870" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3M_section.jpg" width="425" height="825" width_o="425" height_o="825" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3M_section_o.jpg" data-mid="5120878" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3M_plan copy.jpg" width="349" height="1134" width_o="349" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1066624/3M_plan copy_o.jpg" data-mid="5120893" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.praud.info/Roots-United http://www.praud.info/following/praud.info/Roots-United Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:05:58 +0000 Praud 2238040 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/100.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/100_o.jpg" data-mid="13664507" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/101.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/101_o.jpg" data-mid="13664509" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/102.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/102_o.jpg" data-mid="13664511" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/103.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/103_o.jpg" data-mid="13664512" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/104.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/104_o.jpg" data-mid="13664514" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/105.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/105_o.jpg" data-mid="13664515" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/106.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/2238040/106_o.jpg" data-mid="13664516" border="0" align="left"/> Client : Roots United Year : 2010 Status : Unbuilt Location : Jamaica Plain, MA, US Program : Retail Interior The concept store for Roots United was developed as an interior pavilion to explore how a single system could become enclosure, display, structure, and ornament.

Its main purpose is to redefine public and private green areas to enhance the sence of community and a better living environment. The new approach is to achieve a hybrid green block that provides infrastructure while still providing private greens and common public greens. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_08_model1.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="921" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_08_model1_o.jpg" data-mid="5105171" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_1101262.png" width="670" height="354" width_o="1156" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_1101262_o.png" data-mid="5105350" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_08_model2.jpg" width="407" height="612" width_o="407" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_08_model2_o.jpg" data-mid="5105194" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_110126.png" width="670" height="314" width_o="1170" height_o="550" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_110126_o.png" data-mid="5105356" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_08_model3.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="921" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063015/PARIS_08_model3_o.jpg" data-mid="5105206" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.praud.info/HYBRID-LIVING http://www.praud.info/following/praud.info/HYBRID-LIVING Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:05:45 +0000 Praud 1061549 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/SP_09_render2.jpg" width="670" height="502" width_o="816" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/SP_09_render2_o.jpg" data-mid="5099867" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-10.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-10_o.jpg" data-mid="12141671" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-12.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-12_o.jpg" data-mid="12141681" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-14.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-14_o.jpg" data-mid="12141690" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-16.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-16_o.jpg" data-mid="12141700" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-18.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-18_o.jpg" data-mid="12141706" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-20.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-20_o.jpg" data-mid="12141712" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-22.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-22_o.jpg" data-mid="12141716" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-24.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-24_o.jpg" data-mid="12141720" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-26.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-26_o.jpg" data-mid="12141723" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-28.jpg" width="670" height="335" width_o="1200" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1061549/Hybrid-book-28_o.jpg" data-mid="12141726" border="0" align="left"/>In Tokyo, self-conscious bad architecture has resulted under the pressure of high density, and increasing land value, stressing programmatic relationships into new typologies. The optimization of under-utilized spaces that results from infrastructure, sports facilities, big box programs, and industrial sites within the city are crucial for the ability to maintain a living city. Current demographics demand for a different type of housing stock. In fast growing cities, there is a continuous flow of a floating population of immigrants and commuters. Also, there is a growing older population that is breaking the family unit. Shanghai has an average family unit of 2.8 members. Housing demands an increasing flexibility. In “Specific Neutrality, A manifesto for new collective housing”, Atelier Kempe Thill suggest the current demand for flexibility from the housing unit, developer, and construction method. It implies that the future housing stock should have a certain neutrality of use that allows for the flexibility and adaptability of the building. By constructing these neutral settings, new hybrid possibilities are created where housing stock could also be offices, retail, and so forth, promoting a metropolitan condition inside the building. http://www.praud.info/HKSZ-PAVILION http://www.praud.info/following/praud.info/HKSZ-PAVILION Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:05:44 +0000 Praud 1063504 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/0000.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/0000_o.jpg" data-mid="13665681" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/00.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/00_o.jpg" data-mid="13665682" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/002.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/002_o.jpg" data-mid="13665684" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/003.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/003_o.jpg" data-mid="13665686" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/004.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/004_o.jpg" data-mid="13665688" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/0005.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/0005_o.jpg" data-mid="13665689" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/005.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/005_o.jpg" data-mid="13665691" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/006.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063504/006_o.jpg" data-mid="13665692" border="0" align="left"/> Project : Hong Kong Shenzen Bi-City Biennale, 2009 Location : Hong Kong, China Selected for installation (unbuilt) Instead of just using the furnitures as they are meant to function, how then public can change, play with, and use those furnitures as they want.Also, a question about whether urban furnitures can provide specific spatial experience, like pavilions, instead of just functioning as furnitures. These two major questions stimulated the idea of ‘urban playground’ To create a field for this new urban playground, 3m by 3m square is proposed with 10x10 Grideon, and bamboo trees are introduced to generate forest-like atmosphere of the field. Slots are integrated into nods of the intersections, which is total 121, and they are used as system that position locations of bamboo trees, which are total 90. The key point of having discrepency between number of slots and bamboo trees is that people can start locating bamboo trees as they want, and the remained field, that do not have bamboo trees in slots, becomes a space for furnitures and other activities. http://www.praud.info/SLIT-HOUSE http://www.praud.info/following/praud.info/SLIT-HOUSE Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:05:43 +0000 Praud 1062559 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/000.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/000_o.jpg" data-mid="13664897" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/004.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/004_o.jpg" data-mid="13664902" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/100.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/100_o.jpg" data-mid="13664903" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/101.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/101_o.jpg" data-mid="13664904" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/102.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/102_o.jpg" data-mid="13664905" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/103.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/103_o.jpg" data-mid="13664908" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/002.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/002_o.jpg" data-mid="13664898" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/003.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/003_o.jpg" data-mid="13664899" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/200.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/200_o.jpg" data-mid="13664909" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/201.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/201_o.jpg" data-mid="13664911" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/202.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/202_o.jpg" data-mid="13664912" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/300.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/300_o.jpg" data-mid="13664913" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/400.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1062559/400_o.jpg" data-mid="13664938" border="0" align="left"/> Project : International Competition Year : 2009 Location : Athens, Greece Program : Student Housing (18 Units) Current urban environment of Athens is very dense, and to resolve this problem, the city is regulating the building coverage ratio as well as height of the building. This results a certain portion of private back yard which is mostly abandoned and has no relation to urban activities. Instead of putting required uncovered area in the back side of building, which most of projects do, Slit House makes a semi-public space in the middle, as a way of designating required open space, to open the back yard of the block. Using this pocket space as a show case and catalyst of this new intervention, built environment of the city can be transformed into a city that has multiple layers of spaces.

Second Place The stations presented is an example of the repetitive system used to house subway stations and exits across the city of Shanghai in order to create a new typology. The building becomes recognizable as a subway exit by means of its architecture rather than its symbols. The structural system used is also a repetitive system that can be adapted and fabricated depending on the scale of the site. Some sites present the opportunity for larger buildings, others allow only for a subway exit pavilion. http://www.praud.info/URBAN-TRANSFORMATION http://www.praud.info/following/praud.info/URBAN-TRANSFORMATION Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:05:34 +0000 Praud 1063336 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063336/01.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063336/01_o.jpg" data-mid="13665407" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063336/02.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063336/02_o.jpg" data-mid="13665410" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063336/03.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/85698/1063336/03_o.jpg" data-mid="13665411" border="0" align="left"/> Project : Pyongyang, in a new era (Research) Article published by MONU (a Dutch magazine for Architecture and Urbanism) As an initial study of "Urban transformation of Pyongyang", the article is focusing on major urban spaces in the city that have strong socialist urban planning characters.

Cities like Boston, Seattle, Zurich, Kyoto, Barcelona and so on, have certain metropolitan qualities and conditions, but are not considered as world capital metropolises. While urbanisms these days mostly focuses on extreme conditions, such as density, congestion, fast growth, shrinking, or even fatality, MINI Metropolis and MINI Metropolitanism focus on built environments of less extreme, more stable, and yet gradually growing cities, and tries to generate various conversations about the future growth of each MINI Metropolis.
