develop a re-design for the well-loved Paley Park in New York City. The concept development started with exploring the relationship between the people of New York City and the intricately constructed subway lines. There is a total of 36 lines and 472 stations across the entire New York City, each
and fluidity of transporting individuals around. Especially with the densely packed Manhattan Island, the subway system is able to match the needs of NYC residents. Thus, it inspired my design concept - to reflect and showcase the idea of fluid circulation in a limited space.

The concept of WE [AR] is inspired by the Winter Stations design competition themeRadiance. This concept graphic package explores the idea of radiance as an entity that is achieved when a community gathers and recognize its full potential.
Rather than a physical installation, we venture into the realm of augmented reality to create an immersive and interactive experience for visitors.
WE[AR] is an interactive augmented reality installation that demonstrates the strength of solidarity in addressing social challenges. It encourages visitors to explore the installation at their own pace, striking up conversations with other visitors and, most importantly, becoming allies to these communities.

The projec t site was set in front of the University of Guelph’s Atheltic Centre, and the objective of this project was to create a series of analysis diagrams and a final functional diagram that will ultimately assist in creating an alternative conceptual design. The new plaza will encourage the usage of the public space in front of the surrounding to enrich the landscape and provide a rest area for the public. With the proposed plaza, the intention is to create a welcoming and well-circulated space with seating areas for visitors of all ages.

A lampshade inspired by the traditional rice-paper lamp. Designed to explore the idea of trying to conceal the bad with a captivating cover. Working with the message of perseverance through the symbolism of the koi.
By: Catherine YanObjective:
Make a lampshade for the flashlight function of your phone.
Research:
The purpose of a lampshade is to:
- diffuse light in order to protect the eyes from the bare bulbs.
- decorate the space
- maximize the effectiveness
- directs the light from the light source
A rice-paper lampshade, where the essence lies within the paper carving. Possibly include a wireless charging component.
- Shoji paper
- Aluminum craft wire
- 65 lb cardstock
Inspiration:
- Japanese rice-paper lanterns
- Chinese shadow play
- Paper carving artist - Parth Kothekar
Message
The koi flying through the clouds creates a sense of peacefulness while contrasting with the irregularly shaped cage. It delivers the message of what may seem calm from a perspective does not mean the same for its other sides. Although there may be more worries than assurances, the koi is there to remind us to persevere through the difficult times.

- Gel medium
- White glue
White acrylic paint reduced the strength of light while the gel medium was able to reinforce the structure and allow light to penetrate.
One layer of card stock was too flimsy to hold its form by itself, experimented with two layers, it simultaneously lets light pass through and hold its form.
The notion of nōtan comes from a Japanese design conc ept that play s with the positive and negative space through the placement of dark and light elements. More importantly for this project, the negative carved out of a four-by-four black cardstock will become the positive space and contribute to the overall design rather than being discarded.
