CITY GATEWAY | CHANGSHA, CHINA [1/6]
Changsha City Gateway, Wuguang residential complex, in Changsha, China, is intended to connect the modern living condition with well-considered sustainable design and accommodate the commerce and community amenity within walkable radius. Study about wind, sun direction and green facilities are deeply embedded in the process of schematic design and detail design. These two parts are what I was responsible during the time taking internship at Archiland International.

Historical Renovation | Spring 2014
CREEKWALK BOUTIQUE HOTEL | SYRACUSE, NY [1/8]
Instructor: Professor Arthur McdDonald Collaboration: Westly Ratcliff
[Enclosure Form] The hotel is situated on a site with an intricate condition. It is encircled by a major road from north, five story apartment building from the east and the Onondaga Creek from the west. [Material Assembly] The terracotta chosen for the facade is derived from its historic red brick building situation as a modern interpretation on the historic brick. [Visual and Thermal Performance] Windows oriented towards the South-West take advantage of the views and the southern light and skylights capture light and direct it downward. [Spatial Experience] The hotel overall form serves as a billboard as well as a visual connection to its environment.

PENN STATION RENOVATION | NEW YORK, NY [2/4]
Instructor: Professor Anda French
Optimum Orientation Location: NYC-Central parks (S), New York-USA Orientation based on average daily incident radiation on a vertical surface Weather Tool
The dataset collects the pedestrian flow for the spots in various corners of surrounding blocks of Penn Station. AM, Mid day, PM, Peak hours. The fluctuation of the date emphasizes these spots capable of “absorbing people to come�, which results in the congestion. The electric filed lines are showing the correspondence among each spot, in which I would alter the current situation to improve the pedestrian problem
