ReFront Retrofitting Facades
Product Architecture
Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, 2023-2024, Team Project Tutors: Stefan Bassing, Marios Tsiliakos
ReFront provides an end-to-end integrated platform designed to enhance facades while improving energy efficiency. Utilizing 3D printing and circularity principles, it simplifies retrofitting for stakeholders. The platform employs image segmentation and Deep Learning Generative AI to analyze structures and generate 3D-printed facade systems from user images. This approach enhances aesthetics, reduces energy consumption and waste, and promotes sustainability through easy-to-assemble on-site solutions.

Growing Wiresystem Creation and Construction of wire system
Tunghai University, Thesis Design, 2021-2022, Individual Project Tutor: Eric Yu
The project centres around the study of how wires can be controlled as an architectural system. In this case, an unused gap between two street houses next to the Liuchuan River in Taichung is used as an example. Using parametric tools, experimenting with the form, structure, materials, construction methods and space experience to control and select from them.

Breaking down the boundaries between the city and the environment, through the different functions of the different facades.
It also integrates co-planting into the building, thus addressing the issue of sustainability of the building and the environment. A business model that satisfies the self-sufficiency of the residents and also generates vertical sales in the city.
If you take care of it, it will grow quickly.

Tutor: ShengLiang Tsai
On the main vartery between the community clusters, the original public space is used to create a new activity centre where residents gather at various times of the day. While gathering people, it also connects people from different directions of purpose around the base and allows for integration. At the same time, shortcuts are created to link the spaces.

Divide & Harmony A Home Inviting Nature
2018, Individual Project
Tutor: Bojun Tang
The site, a farming area atop Dadu Mountain, has a monotonous, compressed landscape due to surrounding tree belts. The goal is to break this compression, extending views to the city. Height differences and architectural openings will create layered landscapes and diverse perspectives.
