Portfolio from 2012 to 2017
Architecture design is a precise coordination between objectivity and subjectivity. For me, the most fascinating part of designing is to represent people’s belief, emotion and thoughts. Personal sense is always hard to be aware, but sometimes the inconspicuous part is more beautiful and powerful than computer’s intervention. This portfolio is trying to capture those personal senses that interpret with humanity and sharpness. Four projects are selected and presented through extraordinary filter, process, embodiment and objectification. One project is selected from gsapp, which used physical model as a methodology to study material, space and scale, to question time and scale, light and shadow. Three projects are selected from pratt, which is a series stories of my self-inspect, from how I prefer (No.4), to what I am (No.3), and where I from (No.2). All the projects are utilized un-digital way to study, process and produce. A lot of sketches and model pictures are curatorial in this portfolio to celebrate the humanistic interpreting. It was a very enjoyable journey to study the proportion, scale and material through those experiments. This portfolio is an epitome of my personal perspective and position of architecture design. And it is a capture of the beauty of the obscure.

Selected piece by Iannis Xenakis, Strategie composed for two orchestras based on a game theory, in purpose of two conductor’s decisions to use sound structures (tactics) to be performed more improvised, but this randomness structured with a matrix.

anipulation of spatial constructs and linkages can produce an architecture that questions time, memory, and existence. In an a speed driven world, architecture has the power to curate how this speed is experienced, and what that experience says about the culture.

f the skyscraper is to be a vertical city, how can it be experienced with a slowness that allows one to wander, discover, and record memories of space and place while at the same time negotiating with technology and the necessity for speed?

programs. With more detailed processing, materiality, landscape are all following certain systematic theory. The agenda of this design is to have an attitude of how to locate the art and the science education, and how to integrate with the sloping down topography by location the interior and exterior theater.

CONCEPT | ZIPPER DORMITORY
ipper can be considered as an enclosure, a membrane and a facade. Cloth is zipped to block the heat inside, and protect the body away from the outside attack. If the faรงade is zipped it can protect the private space, block the noise outside and transit the air in; when it is unzipped it will be more open to allow
89
a flood of light and air come in but has less isolation, which could be the public space. The facade was designed as a piece of the fabric covering on the outside of the building and literally zipping and unzipping to indicate the public space and private space inside.
