The room
Environmental monitoring station
Architecture begins with the room.
First layer - space for accepting nature
Second layer - space for service appliances
Third layer - space for circulation, like as visual nerves
Fourth layer - space for output, like as a brain
The room redux
Environmental monitoring station
The porch can be easily approached in case that it is easily recognized. I gave it recognizability as adding complex elements. You can see a fusing form which a rolled pattern is coming from solid wall in each side.
One side is consisted of transition about surface. And translucent panels cover some solid wall. The other side is consisted of transition about members. The vertical members which are similar to optic nerves connect with inside and outside. I placed transparent and translucent glasses which function as a filter.

Ferry terminal & Environmental monitoring station
Adjacent to La-Quardia Airport the Port Authority is building a new ferry terminal and water quality monitoring station. They will share the same docking access and other functions along with economy of waterfront space utilization. The programs are intended to overlap and interwoven just as the building will engage and overlap with the natural and structured contexts.
On the bridge connecting Marine Air Terminal with a new building, there are various eyes toward nature. Toward water, land, sky, edge....
The edge in our site has the strong sense of straight line. As breaking down this sense of edge dividing land and water, this new building can emerge toward the water. So we can breath through this gap arising from broken edge.
The previous porch as a transition space is developed to a bridge coming from between two strong solid layers.
