POP-UP HOUSE
Concept
Design the space by different time schedule. So each person could own the whole space when they use the space.
Classmate Catherine
This is a project for my class studio 2. In this project, all of us in are designers and clients. I need to design my classmate’s apartment. Another classmate also needs to design my apartment. My classmate and I could choose a person to live with her. There are three options: republican, refugee or roommate. We call it the “3R” project.
Refugee
Finally, in my project, we choose a refugee to live with my classmate. The most difficult problem is that the room is so tiny and my classmate, Catherine, doesn’t like to share space with other people.

CENTER Design method The project combines the concept of “growth ring“ and the idea of deconstructivism ,and use the hierarchical wood finishes as the main texture ,in order to create a circle layering in the vertical face of the constructure.
On the useing of the element , circle, curve and chamfering are the main elements. I use a large number of these elements in order to make people feel the preciseness and the nature.
This project also create a great visual effect by the using the tone of shadow and the material skillfully. All of these that I mentioned before create the perfect space which could attract the customers to taste.

Ocean is a great element to express that people wa live with nature harmoniously. Nowdays, ocean wh the place that doesn’t be used for living by pe already be destroyed. Thus, the first project use and ‘wave’ as the main element and combine wit curve which extract from Tao Te Ching.(Alread described in the first page of this project.) By this making people feel that they stay at the bottom o ocean ,and evoke the idea that want to living with n harmoniously.
After the group discussion, we choose the project one as the final project. Because there are some commercial on project two. On the contrary, the expression of the project one are more creative, and the visual effects also is better than project two.
