The word “architecture” means more than just the relationship between exterior and interior space, or an aesthetic standard for pattern and form. Architectural design has prompted me to think outside the box. It involves creating physical space, proposing systematic strategies, and making resource easily accessible to people who live nearby. Take my thesis design project as an example. I found myself fascinated by the dilapidated beauty and lively atmosphere in Taiwanese traditional markets. Even though they are not perfect, they do give me an insight that a space is alive only when it effortlessly fits into the everyday life of local people. The experience further changed my thought process in architectural design, such as how to create intriguing spatial experience within limited area, and how to make a planned area harmonize with environmental factors around it. Plus, the training in architecture has a great impact on my approach to life as it has nurtured my curiosity and honed my ability to observe. In the process of design, we always have to find subtleties hidden in our daily life, and then transform them into sharable resources that have aesthetic value.

“Confetti Urbanism” aims to advance the ongoing RecoveryPark core idea and resonate with the crime reentry issue, further reconstruct the neighborhood through a strategic process that combines the adaptation of urban farmland, ruin restoration, software upgrades, open and public space intensification and small-scale business incubation that may collectively create a more equitable place for not only those in recovery but also the current occupants to live, work and interact. The project is assumed to be primarily funded by part of the state government’s budget for the incarceration program as well as by charitable organizations and business leaders with philanthropic visions in different phases of the project, collaborating with neighborhood-based social and cultural workers, agricultural specialists, religious groups, skill trainers and educational institutions to operate the system.

Theme & Narrative
According to an analysis conducted with UrbanFootprint in 2019, 75% of residential land in LA is zoned for detached single-family homes, which has therefore constantly fueled new, detached units to occupy poorer communities and undeveloped lands outside the city one after another. This typical, not so efficient American Dream model is causing severe housing crisis and environmental concerns regionally and nationally.

The tangible symbol of individual freedom in some ways is consuming too much valuable land in Downtown LA and its periphery, making the city context segregated and isolated. The ongoing housing equity problems since mid 20th century could not be solved immediately by simply changing the zoning policy since the housing market is way more complex than what designers anticipate. Instead, by choosing a preserved land as an experimental site that has an immigrant neighborhoods history, which was all swiped out in the 1950s, the goal is to either to promote verticality or expand horizontal footprints of housing, the project The Intensified Line is seeking to maximize the sustainability and efficiency of land by intensifying the communal spaces. In the spirit of resituating the minorities into the society again, this least-touch with ground new housing model is testing Angelenos’ desire for more controllable, smaller units, which enable them to have better access to the city and the public realm in an affordable way.

“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopias.� -Oscar Wilde

Node #1, Bryant Park
Node #2, 5th Ave & W 39th St Intersection Brief
Echoing the existing Open Street Program, “The Transplanted Zones” seeks to investigate the high-rises in the area enclosed by Broadway, W 37th St , W 42nd St and the 1st Avenue, and sort out buildings that are not in active use during the pandemic due to the work from home order. We see the idle status of commercial activities as new opportunities to create a new network that is able to mitigate the risk of infection and divide crowds onto different levels of open spaces. Facilities, such as groceries stores, playgrounds, temporary offices, and open eateries, etc., will be installed on the selected floors of each high-rise.

The re-design of the space will take into account the population density of the neighborhoods surrounding the selected building, the usage rate of it, and its distance to daily necessities. Four different porous façade designs varying in structure and material will signify the transitional space, serving as a way-finding system for passersby to easily recognize the building in a dense cityscape.

Chicago Grid: The “Invisible” and “Visible” Boundary Lines
Beyond Chicago Grid: The Transition of Space and Its Legacy
Theme Dating back to the Land Ordinance of 1785 and James Thompson’s subsequent first Plat of Chicago in 1830, The Chicago Grid is designed to give dependable service if operated according to instructions. The Chicago Grid is at once easy and difficult; generic and specific; neutral and hyperbolic; democratic and tyrannical; confining and liberating. It may discontinue or change specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation.

Architecture as a collective experience The transition from a dense residential area into the isolated, lifeless corridor, as well as the disconnection with the west town can be seen as two crucial opportunities to reshape the physical environment of the industrial corridor, mediating both visual and human connections in between. Design wise, to introduce a new hub for civilians to celebrate the legacy , the revitalized warehouse duo needs to match the scope of “architecture as a re-involvement in the urban space”. To achieve such qualities, programs need to be flexible, adaptable, and partially temporary, allowing people with multiple social classes to join the dialogue. In terms of recreation and commerce involvement, as a site located on the edge, the entrance can also be regarded as a square itself, but in a hybrid form that can reactivate commercial and recreational events by inviting people with all kinds of commuting ways. Thus, a drive-thru lane is placed on the corner, meanwhile leave the spine accessible for pedestrians to penetrate through the newly defined warehouse tunnels.

Site- Morton Salt Warehouse
Tunnels on the Edge
Located at 1257 N.Elston Avenue, Chicago’s Morton Salt warehouse has stood between the Kennedy Expressway and the Chicago River North Branch for decades. While in 2018, the property was sold to R2 companies in preparation for a new complex development. This iconic landmark has not only represented the glory of packaging industry for the Chicago based company itself, but also for who have lived and worked in the city since the rising of the industry. The re-imagined project “Tunnels on the edge” seeks to discover the adaptive use of the parallel factories, and find an alterative approach to turn the 4.25 acre land into a catalyst that is able to provide citizens a new access to public realm in a post-industrial setting to celebrate the legacy. The project also aims to mitigate the density unbalance between communities and the industrial corridor, reshaping the enclosed zone into a porous, dynamic space that draws users to a variety of commercial, recreational and public spots. By taking advantage of the preserved shed, potential infrastructural developments including riverfront walk, connecting bridge and parking lot have also been addressed in the project that attempted to fuel infrastructural investment in transforming the privatelyowned site into a new connection with the existing environs.

The Inner Facade Space Coordination Between Communities Project Type / Urban Renewal Academic / Thesis Design,5th Year Studio,(2015) Advisor / Tsung-Hung, Pai Location / Taichung City, Taiwan Dorian Gray, the leading character of the novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray” written by Oscar Wilde , was obsessed with the charm and beauty of his self-portrait. Dorian had viewed that beauty and sensual fulfillment are the only two things for him to persue in his llife. After understanding that beauty will fade as time passes by, Dorian was anxious about not being charming permanently. He thus expressed his desire of selling his soul for eternal beauty, ensuring that the portrait, rather than he, will fade and age. Take an overview of the urban development situation in Taiwan, when a city expands in changes of time and space, it is expected to detect both magnificence and repulsion emerging. The process creates an everlasting gap between programmatic and transitory areas. The constant desire for modernlization generates extra storage for modern society, while it is inevitable that regional idendities are being elimanated gradually. The project poses as a space curator, which is responsible for sorting out the hidden values of the selected site, Chung Xin Market. The curating process was aimed at providing multiple routes for both market goers and residents to view the market from different angles. Meanwhile, people are able to take advantage of the resources they mutually share within the block.

Compared to the programatic open space within apartment building, which is built based on the regulations of “bulk reward for urban renewal”, it is usually not accessible for citizens. The 65x70 square meter block, however, is relatively friendly. The project serves as a model that raises both citizens’ and the real estate owners’ awareness for the definition of open space, giving them further imagination about “life field”.

Design Model
Located due south of the National Museum of Fine Arts, the low-key strategy, however, aimed at adjusting the subtle relationship between urban society and the semi-public community.
To create the “void�, reversing unused space in-side-out can integrate spaces with different properties into a connected link. The cluster thus can serve as a silent living room hidden in the urban space.
The released upper level space enables people to sense the surroundings by different angles.

Architect / Wei Li, Liao, AMBi Studio Description / In the coordination of a cross-field collaboration with environmental engineers and cultural professionals in building the Dawo Village, we worked closely in designing how to invite people to walk in, and then to revitalize a mysterious place which was formerly an undeveloped farmland. Programs are highly based on and reflected the local traits, such as a resting deck sitting next to the waterfall, and an ecological gallery looking down the mountain from above. The hub (reception center), is also a multipurpose building, which is able to redirect visitors circulation accordingly to their expected destinations.
Scheme study of the reception center.

2013 January / Y3S1
The topic for our team project was “high-tech” architecture information booth, which was performed by pieces of triangle matte plastic molds attached onto the twisted-tube skeleton structure. We were attempting to create a freeform arch that is able to slow the pace of the passer-by, providing an informational access point for the building.
The project was aimed to trigger people to rethink the definition of sharing in the era of relentless self-promotion.
