This project is in Yibin, China, a city that has important ecological position for the country. The master plan combined local pedestrian transportation and the raiway station rapid transit. With ecology as the core value, a core urban area with multiple complex functions has been designed here.
I joined this project from the start of its masterplan competition. Following the process step by step, I worked as a designer for the Concept Design of the Central Park, the SD and DD phase of the High-rise Tower, and now the CA phase. During DD phase of towers, I became the main designer of this project.
For the whole project, I am the expert for the team's technical problems of parametric design, geometric optimization, and data analysis.

This is a housing project based in the suburbia of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The print is a reflection of the natural catastrophes (hurricane & earthquake) and the lovely environment. Because of the climate and catastrophes of the tropical island, the project must use a passive strategy to adjust micro-climate.
Neighborhoods of this area have a certain fabric. A block consists of two rows of houses. This project originated from an existing plan. By renovating the existing prototype, it creates a flexible community. Flexibility makes the community multifunctional, as public resources is weak here. Fexibility also allow the building to adapt the entire life span of a family. The community is available for new public facilities (school, factory...), new ownership (house, apartment...), and a sustainable lifestyle.
