Willow Way

The design of a Willow way is a means to investigate the incorporation of various technologies. A project collaborated with rigidized metals for silo city. 

An intervention at silo city showcasing coalescence of architecture and landscaping on the structure.  To work proactively and cooperatively through different 
design- build phases of a project to produce ecological interventions at silo city.
Initially, the project was designed by a team in fall 2019 and was hoped to get constructed by the 2020 spring semester, but when the design got finalized, there were still some challenges regarding the construction.


The project has an apparent morphology, but still left certain unanswered this studio gave us the chance to explore and critical analysis about the project. 

In the 2020  Spring, In the guidance of professor Joyce Hwang being part of the studio allowed me to explore testing materials, assemblies, site analysis, and shop drawings. Volunteering in 2020 summer and as well as fall in guidance of professor Nick Rajkovich, I worked as a  volunteer in assisting the construction of willow way.
