PAST FUTURE

Save the past - 4D - - - - Save the future - 5D

I planted a seed in time and time is the soil from which I witnessed the seed to grow. Frequent uprooting and wandering has gifted me with a great adaptability and sensitivity to the environment. What was imposed has become a longing: a longing to search for a different land, scenery, and society. This longing is fueled by my desire for a sense of belonging and my inclination towards change. In my pursuit of belonging, I emphasized time and memory. Later, reflecting on the true implications of time in people’s lives led me to make further adjustments to my architectural approaches. Those two steps in my development can be described simply as an upgrade from 3D to 4D, and then from 4D to 5D.

To control the accurancy, we did the same expriment through computer based software to imitate human behavior.

We were inspired to do an expriment of mixing glue to imitate the energy of human strain and the vigor field. The process of letting the glue mixed naturally is what we wanted to represent as the human influence the environment and as the environment changes the human.

Location: Dalian, China Year: 2015 Very condensed city renewal project corrolating historical remains and modern city symbols in a compact area that deals with city vigor and context at the same time.

Type: Individual Project

COHESION COMMERCIAL PLAZA Located in Dalian, northeast of China. Intended to bring a new power to stimulate the city power which used to be restricted due to the landscape and historical issues. Redefining the program of this area as progressive changes been made to the organizations of the architecture group.The accessibility of the motor and people were optimised through adding more pedestrain to the atrium of the three towers, giving more flexibility connecting the north area with the south part. SOHO will be the main building type providing people with more living trend fashion.

In the past decades, the city renewal process has pushed the city to a giant planning scale that monopoly the trend of the development. The convergence of the diversity has largely restricted the city vitality. It's a challenging circumstance that dealing with the reinvention of a city considering historical remains and heritage is quite a complex issue. The site is a plaza where city scale drama and performance of history has been placed. On the other hand, it is crucial to operate the area to be alive again, depending on whether can this design achieve rise a wave that is able to dominant the contrary and isolation.

The curent condition of the site that in disorder requires connections with each other in a logic way. Friendly scale and interesting architecture features can be something appealing to recreate the site's connection to the Railway Station on its northeast and the Yujing Center which is the city commanding elevation point, meanwhile reforming a continous city skyline. This area provides the best condition for a residential usage.

To preserve and reuse an existing historical factory on the site, we discussed with City and Historic Preservation and came up with an idea of rotating the factory for 90 degrees. In this way, the building would be better programed to join with the new hotel podium and at the same time reutilize its original material.

Robertson Lane Hotel

Elevation presentation rendering he rearrangement of the factory offered us a possibility to have a middle lane splitting the complex mass into two areas while it started to string up the whole area including WEHO Park and Design Center together in a macro scale.

Sunset Mixed use is a project located at the intersection of La Cienega Blvd and Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood where traffic density become a critical design challenge we have to face. The solution was mainly focused on how we can have a parking entrance open to the main street which may potentially slow down the traffic, otherwise we will have to consider strategy such as moving the valet reception down to the P1 level combining automated parking for P2 and P3 in order to gain sufficient parking spots as required.

Parking Ramp Lighting Schemes

Sunset Mixed Use

What's more, the space underground is relatively compact and restricted since the site is on a city border which we can't cross.

In order to compare different schemes to see which would work better for the interest of the client and city, our project manager has been consistently contacting people from all aspects and I listened to what they have to say and propose several possible parking circulation options for further discussion. It was not until last month did everyone finally agreed with the latest version that met most of the needs.

THE SINKING HOTEL A resort on an sinking island of Maldives in memo of the sea level rising. As we can predict, the Maldives can be the first island country that will be submerged in the near future, thus I wanted to record the gradually rising process where people can go to enjoy a scenery different from every last time.

Location: Maldives Himmafushi Year: 2014 Type: Individual Project

Circulation with Surrounding Environment With sea levels expected to rise by as much as three feet by the year 2100, in large part due to climate change, low-lying countries and coastal cities face an unprecedented challenge this century. Recent research indicated that in the next several centuries, average global sea levels could rise somewhere between 18 and 29 feet, explains Climate Central, a nonprofit climate news and research organization.

Much of this potential sea level rise may be spurred by glacial melting in the world's polar regions. James Hansen, a professor at Columbia University and head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, has said that the global goal to limit atmospheric warming to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) "is actually a prescription for long-term disaster."

Hansen fears, LiveScience reported, that with warming of two degrees, we could see an icefree Arctic and a notable rise in sea-levels by tens of meters.

One had a chance living in the hotel when he was 10 and the room was still above the sea level. After 20 years when he come back again living in the same room which has already submerged by sea water, he will have such a personal feeling which is very strong and interior. It will definitely stimulate his participation in protecting the environment for he has the memory with himself involved in. Memory is the most impressive thing and the factor to influence the future for a better possibility. My design is actually a way of design and creating the memory creator for the future.

There is islands polar arried around the hotel sybolizing every decades that has past.The bridge will rotate along the track foreced by the water floating power.

The architecture is exteriorly acting as a clock memorizing the sealevel rising.On the other hand, the people who has experienced living in can have a personal view of the nfluence of the climate change.

Traffic flow in the transporting system The primitive concept of reinventing the city based on traffic

Considering traffic system is the foundation of city network, we reinvented the road systems trying to solve all kinds of traffic issues we have encountered nowadays. In order to make it more efficient and intelligent, we separated the road from the original city and replaced typical intersection with none stopping connections. The new circulation will be relying on self navigation and hyperloop technology, so that the citizens will be able to move around while staying in the pods, their redefined home.

We chose to isolate different layers from a typical city

Linear City was how the city arranged in a certain demension where transportation largely happens in the aligned tube trails. The advantage of isolating transportation from a typical city was that it solves the problem of traffic jam and unnecessary intersactions of those we deal with every day will stand out of our way.

Top Layer Plan

Separation of City Layers There are mainly four lanes aligning with the linear city direction. This layout allows the vehicles to be moving along the rail in certain circulation which smoothly connected to any portals in the city. The way of the vehicles moves in the city are generally depend on self navigation. In future style of living, technology of city organization will become more supportive and intelligent. Based on certain rules of transportation, the renewed system will benefit the conventional issue of city planning.

Personalized pods provide people with personal living span. After anyone who stays in his pod for a certain amount of time, the pod will reach it’s life’s end, the bottom of the towel. That setting of giving pods a birth and end made the memory unique and would provide a successive source of temporary stay in city areas.

The structure frame of the building is formed by tubes other than supported floors slabs, which means there is no fixed slab but elevated personal pods at different elevation determined by their left lifespan.

The building as a whole is given life by metabolizing. The reuse of printable pods are also alive as they exist particularly for the people who will live in there and vanish with their left.

Life starts at the top of the building under the main printer. As the pod gradually dropping through the tube, the pods are approaching their life of recycle again as they reach the bottom.

Costumized pods are crunshed and reused for a new life after the material get collected and transported back to the top printer again.

Pods-Metabolism

3D PRINTED RECYCABLE PODS

The pods are printed by powder materials that can be stored and sprayed to form certain pods with customized partition wall at the top of the residential tower and reused by crushed again into powder at the bottom of the building. The cycling of material provides a greater capacity of energy saving by cutting down the material transporting and preparing.

Fabrication Language

The folding of a part of a perfect circle, forming a certain space within the human upper body rangeable range, providing with a convertible cover that can be easily adjusted from this wearable device.

The materials fabrication is consists of thin skin that covers on the structural skeleton, which can be eihter transparent or visually blocked.

Joined at one bolt, the foladable cover are connected from their vertex at the ends. Bionic simulated system allows more organic activities and human scale movement. With cover from all around directions, pravicy and personal based spatial range abstracts another boundary besides our skin, which can be also regard as the transitional space between the body and the outside.

THE CONVERTIBLE CELL The purpose of the design is to provide a flexiable and movable private space for people to keep away from over-crowed, bad weathers, noisies and even climate change. On the other hand, this device could also prevent personal activities disturbing the outsides.

Capturer

Shadow Concept

Our waving pavilion ‘Shadow Capturer’ inherited its kinetic logic from arm’s moving. Based on the motion and its relation to geometry, linkage systems, a long series of oscillating units are connected with an offset in their initial start phase. This phase delay enables a wave like motion and the primary performance of our design: generating a flow.

Bridging The PAST and The FUTURE

It's a vanishing of mass.

It's a correlation of historical image With technology helping people to wear devices, we are exposed to a wider range. About exterior space, the facade would show 3d image which is not flat any more. To achieve the direct metaphor of a city story, the screen of 3d has brought along a new virtue world enlarging street horizon into a entire new dimension. This would help create a consistently collection of ephemeral art in each time, thus making a correlation of the history.

The timer of age & The recorder of vision

How to fit in the 5th demension Comparably longer expectation of architecture existence has played an inner force for architecture to be designed for a long term use. The previous thought about the lasting entity has made ephemeral art a contradicted language against solid and firm concrete. With the intention to isolate long and ephemeral, The architecture has actually played a two side effected on display a view created by the current generation. Whether long existing or temporary influential, the constant impact on human has led the city atmosphere to a architectural civilization. To satisfy human's potential expectation for a living scene, the architecture has become a performance of history drama.
