2. Architecture & Experience - Stargazing Platform Softwares: • ArcGIS
• Rhino
Site Study:
• AI (Illustrator)
• CFD (Simflow) • Lumion
• In Design
The infinity
The site is located in a National Park in Ontario, Canada. This is a large piece of empty land without any nearby development due to its location and its complex landscape.
In the project, we were asked to design a view platform to observe the night sky. This project needed to be highly accessible from all directions. In terms of the program, this design needed to include a small museum where the visitor can access and have the ability to learn more about the night sky.
Site Plan
1:3,000
Design position: Nowadays, most of us live and work in highly light-polluted cities. We no longer have that strong visual connection with the infinity of the universe. From a more theoretical approach: • The universe is what shapes our thoughts. It helps us to shape and forms our personal beliefs. Goal: • Rebuild that connection between humans and the vast universe. • Create a spiritual and inspiring environment where visitors can fully immerse themselves into this rich atmosphere • Embrace the natural character of the site • Design a building that ‘disappear’ from its urban context • Create a building that perfectly blends in with its surroundings • Create a continuous experience without any physical barriers • No boundaries between the interior and its exterior volume and no visible transition from above to below • Increase the comfort level in the building and use its overall structure to guide away from the strong wind.

How to create a ‘shelter’ place in the wild

Design-driven: Protection from the wind:
Using CFD - study how to guide away the strong wind
Using CFD - The form of the building protect the visitors from strong wind
Improved its comfort level 13
Elevation:
The beginning of an architecture journey
A building that blind in with nature - The shape is designed to reduce wind load inside the public space. It is meant to protect visitors from strong wind.
Different experience
Social Interaction
- During different seasons and weathers

Interact with the site during winter 14

3. Compact Living Solution - Future Furniture Design Softwares: • AutoCad
• Rhino
• AI (Illustrator)
• In Design
Personal Project
Limit the material palette to create a strong expression - picture taken right after on site assembly How I used to think about Design in general :
Expression of Form
My new understanding of the design industry after the completion of the project: Thermal Expansion
Expression of Form
Material Connection
Structure
17
Design Intention: • •
This design is driven by the idea of the compact living concept. Due to the large increase in population, citizens are now living in highly condensed buildings with less personal space. In this project, the designer wanted to test out how to create a multi-use space in a small-sized children’s bedroom.
Compact City Urban planning concept:
Idea of traditional neighborhood
Idea of compact city
Create a highly active and diverse neighborhood
Room Condition (Pre - design):
5m
3m
Room is small in size (3m by 5 m)
Site Condition:
• •
Surrounded by load bearing wall - It created an ‘edge’ condition on the wall
Mountain - created a strong axial relationship that corresponds with traditional Chinese culture and urban planning beliefs Site is separated from the rest of the neighborhood 18
Client initial idea:
Problems:
• Destroy a portion of the wall to create storage space
• Decrease the size of the Master bedroom • Unnecessary cost
Initial ‘Plan A’ and ‘Plan B’ proposals - Design according to the client’s wish, but the room will feel a lot smaller in size and quite uncomfortable to live in.
Design suggestion to the client:

Created space for future storage, all the space under the beds can be opened and used for seasonal storage. Reduce the cost of the project
19
Design Process & Materials: • •
Create additional storage space a place that encourages the owner to be themselves and to express themselves
Active area - most daily activity take place
Book storage
Quiet area - reading, resting
Seasonal storage Closet storage

Material & Detail:
Customized hidden handle - Easy to pull and perfectly flat on the surface
Smooth surface finish with careful woodwork
Every hidden door can be easily lifted
To deal with the need for book storage space a mini bookshelf was created where the owner could have quick access to books at anytime
21
End result:
Dropped ceiling is designed to accommodate the HVAC and the lighting system.
High-quality surface finish with gaps for thermal expansion
All the items in this room are made with natural materials.

4. Study of Light Softwares & Media:
The threshold between two world
• Hand sketching
• Physical model
On-going study
Sensory experience with light
How light can change the atmosphere of the space

Light study: The threshold between two world
Study how light can change/ create different atmosphere
Different lighting condition + change in height

5. Study of FormSoftwares & Media:
• Rhino
Simplified expression of the dynamic form
• Revit
• AI (Illustrator)
•I n Design
Study the Voronoi model and think about how this can be applied on building facade
• 3D fabrication
On-going study
3D Printed Model for Form study
Find the right balance between ‘form’ & ‘function’: Expression of Form
Function of Space
Goal for this project: Create a functional space where people can socialize and interact with one another. Examine the potential of its structure and use this form to create a vertical connect in the building, thus creating visual and physical connections from floor to floor.
25
Model Study:
Light and shadow study - Apart from ascetic purpose, How it change the experience inside the building?
What is its relationship with light?
Pattern & Human Scale
26
‘Parti’ drawing and form study:
Common approach for institutional building
•Indoor & Outdoor •Above to below •Connection with site
Connection with major street
Connection from floors to floors
Sectional relationship - Creates connection from multiple levels 27
Facade Study Diagrams:
Light and Shadow Study
Pattern Study:
Relationship with the site - Examine if the elevation pattern fit with its urban context 28
