The Enscape renderings are completed within PAO team. The last four renderings are completed in partnership with a rendering company. I’ve taken part of communicating and reviewing the rendering company’s work as well as schedule management and modelling of this building design. I used Rhino and Grasshopper to build the repetitive and to make the design adjustable.

Facade design development using Grasshopper
I have been working on grasshopper modelling to to have a complete understanding of the overall design, within the context of the structure, to design the facade with consistency and accuracy, I have been mainly supporting and developing the design of the facade using Grasshopper, cooperation with one colleague within the Wuzhou School team.
During the Schematic Design phase, I have designed a more detailed parts such as staircase rooftop cover, using greasshopper, generating double curvature using straight lines etc.
Grasshopper file
I have been developing, editing, adjusting and updating this grasshopper file with two more people in the team. This grasshopper also includes calculations for areas, as well as defining the design The aim of the facade design was to make a consistent flow that goes along with the diagonal lines that are cutting through the floors and defines the contour line of all the floor shapes, as well as the facade edges. Also in this gh file, I have added vertical panels that act as sunshades that can be combined with the parameter of the diagonal lines on the facade, to have a complete and unified facade system.
Design updates during the SD, DD phases : entrance
Now this project is currently going through Construction Document phase, I have been charging the overall landscape design, which are mostly related to understanding of the curvatures, Rhino modelling + grasshopper, and visualisation using Enscape. I have updated most of the renderings that has been sent to our client. These renderings are the updated design for the entrance of this school.
Design updates during the SD, DD phases : facade
There have been a lot of adjustments during these phases to meet the requirements of our client. Under the supervision of my design director, I have updated all the facade design, and rendered them.

I got so many classes to take this evening

After the bio class we wanted to go to the rooftop to see if the tomatos we planted last time are growing well, they already turned red and look so tasty!

Songshan Goodbooks Lake Bookstore Future School
In the career centre, one of my middle school classmate is working there at a little juice shop, professor Dong and I brainstormed a few minutes, He let me think about what I had been doing today, and suddenly, I just came up with an idea! It is to plant tomatoes with drones!
got a friend has a baking class in the afternoon so I’m going to take some tomatoes and bring them to her.

Oh right, on the way back to my classroom I heard somebody singing from the rooftop, looking down, there was the national culture centre, the students were rehearsing and singing Chinese opera.

Oh right, today all my senior students are not taking classes in their classrooms, because today the famous startup company DJI (A drone start up company)’s CEO is giving a lecture at our library, it was an online lecture, he was there, on the screen, in our library hall, it was the right time when I got there, just before the lecture started. And I found a nice spot to sit and watch, lucky!
A DAY

Hi professor Dong! Would you help me come up with some ideas?

I bought baozi and ate it in the library’s cafe, do you remember which cafe it is? you came here before, do you remember mom, when there was a meeting with parents and teachers here. My friend Jiaxin is working at this cafe right now, I’m chatting with her, students at my school work at places like this to have experience of the outside the campus.
professional work
When I got to the career centre, I met my middle school 2nd grade teacher, proffessor Dong, He just finished training other teachers, when I saw him I was just relieved and wanted to listen to his advice about my start up class presentation idea.
After the discussion I went back to the classroom. In the afternoon, I have bio class which I like the most, you know I loved those little flowers and wild plants when I was a kid, today we’re going to desect the plants, so we’re gathering the plants in the campus courtyard nearby the lab classroom. We took a combined classroom with the next door, they were having art class and we had them draw the desected plants. I will show you when I’m finished my own drawing!
Once I’m finished with PE class this morning, I’m planning to go to the library, on the way I brainstorm about ideas to make a speech at tonight’s start up class. Because my teacher asked each of us to make a presentation about a new start up idea... but I’ve got no idea at the moment.. I got to eat breakfast anyway so I go to the library. It has a little cafe inside.

I happened to talk to the students who were standing in front of the career, it was dinner time and there was food court outside the career centre, I talked to them about my start up idea, and they found it interesting and wanted to give it a try. It was the most busy but most fulfilling day of all!

Jiulong boathouse initial concept and development First floor plan
Site location The site is located in a masterplan that Vanke group has layed out. They have been this project’s both client and partner and hoped this Jiulong boathouse will become a unique icon to attract nearby neighbours and so that this will stimulate and act as a hub for creative activities.
Program mass study
Jiulong Boathouse Team members: Zhanghua Li, Dahyun Kim, James Shen Director: James Shen Site location: Guangzhou, China Partner: Vanke Main role: Both project manager and project designer Duration: Feb 2020 - Dec 2020 Company: People’s Architectural Office, Beijing
The building includes programs for training such as gym, shower room, and outdoor activity areas, VIP rooms for special guests and a conference room for seminars, lectures and for holding events. Small office and management spaces are also included.
Ground floor plan
Pedestrian circulation The interesting part of this building is that the pedestrian circulation is penetrating inside the upper side of this building, so that the runners and cyclers could go directly up to the rooftop of this building, while watching the lake view. This was designed along with the already exhisting lake-side running track, when runners get to the ground floor, they can go back to the lakeside running track.
Composition The form of the whole building is consisting of different elements and the geometrical relationships are individual but also composited in a complete and consistent way, while each architectural elements are not interfering other elements of the building.

Gym space (first design iteration)
Gym space (second design iteration)
As our client requested, the first iteration included a rowing pool inside the gym and the reception area was included inside this space. From this perspective view, people can both watch the lake view and at the same time the boat storage space is exposed through a wide, clear-height window, which is acting as a part of design elements.
During the second phase of the design iteration, the rowing pool was cancelled and the gym space was thought of as more important space for the nearby community area. The renders were completed using Enscape and Photoshop only, to meet the needs of the client’s urgent needs and rapid phase of design development and decision making processes.

Jiulong boathouse design has been through about 4 times of design iteration. During this design iteration, because of the site has been moved to a new place, and the area we got was splited into two. There was a road passing through inbetween the two buildings, the one that has all the gym, conference space and the management spaces, and the one that has the boat storage space area. To connect these two buildings, and to also give it a visual connectivity, the pedestrian road was designed in a similar way to the first design iteration but this time, the pedestrian walk way has become a bridge between the two buildings, going across the road on top. The total area of the building and the budget has been reduced to quite some extent, so we had to layout the functions again in a more compact way this time. During this period of design phase, I have learned how to communicate with client, how to calculate cost estimation using Excel spread sheet (per square meter, and the total costs).

The provocation of ours is not only to extend the definition of architecture but also to argue about how it serves to the culture and what the culture means to us? Culture by its definition may just be; the art and other manifestations of human intellectual achievements regarded collectively. However, according to the recent developments it can be strongly claimed that culture know nested into technology and reconstruct it roots by storing personal and collective memories. Looking more closely to the era, Charlie Gere’s response to the contemporary conversations may converge us at a point. “Both personal and social memory today are affected by an emerging new structure of temporality generated by the quickening pace of material life on the one hand and by acceleration of media images and information on the other. Speed destroy the space, and erases temporal distance. In both cases, the mechanism of physiological perception is altered. The more memory we store on data banks, the more the past is sucked into the orbit of the present, ready to be called up on the screen. A sense of historical continuity or, for that matter, discontinuity, both of which depend on a before and an after, gives way to the simultaneity of all times and spaces readily accessible in the present.”3
project distinction
Our investigation is to host a culture in a system that construct a communication network between machine-machine, machine-human and human-human. In fact, it is crucial to differentiate the terminology of network systems from each other.(Fig.1) To pursue a model of communication we looked at how Paul Baran’s three kinds of networks, which are centralized, decentralized and distributed can be a useful tool to keep track of relationships between our system and cluster related elements. In Baran’s models of communication centralized systems are more vulnerable, considering that the communication in decentralized and distributed networks could be more easily reroute it. Also, it is important to mention the distributed network typology structured the architecture of Internet. Just as today’s decentralized culture, our aim is also to create a decentralized system that enable us to observe new types of interactions of information. With this strategy we envision an informational transfer network where signals can activate different behaviours of agents. Also, by creating a topology through each communication links between agents is leading to distinct organizational model of the system.

In parallel to the core of the project, in AIA conferenceRem Koolhaas stated that [Silicon Valley] took over our metaphors, and made me think that regardless of our speed, which is too slow for Silicon Valley, we can perhaps think of the modern world maybe not always in the form of buildings but in the form of knowledge or organization and structure and society that we can offer and provide at the AIA conference. However, before Koolhas made this statement, Richard Saul Wurman made a speech at the same conference in 1976 and situated the same theme “An American City: The Architecture of Information”. Brochure of the convention was covering up with these words, “We are coming to know the importance of describing how physical space performs as well as how it looks… Would not a city-any city-be more useful and more fun if everybody knew what to do in it, and with it? As architects, we know it takes more than good-looking buildings to make a city habitable and usable. It takes information: information about what spaces does as well as how they look; information that helps people articulates their needs and response to change. That is what Architecture of Information is all about.4 (Fig.2)

Prototype Development
The balloons are manoeuvred by adjusting their altitude in the stratosphere to float to a wind layer after identifying the wind layer with the desired speed and direction using wind data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Users of the service connect to the balloon network using a special Internet antenna attached to their building. The signal travels through the balloon network from balloon to balloon, then to a ground-based station connected to an Internet service provider (ISP), then onto the global Internet. The system aims to bring Internet access to remote and rural areas poorly served by existing provisions and to improve communication during natural disasters to affected regions.
Cooperating Units
Top-down Control Mutual Control Self-perception
Both flying and gripping have a long tradition in the Festo Bionic Learning Network. In the form of the floating FreeMotionHandling, the developers have now combined both topics in one technology platform for the first time. The indoor flying object consists of an ultralight carbon ring with eight adaptive propellers, at the centre of which is a rotatable helium ball with an integrated gripping element. Thanks to the intelligent onboard electronics and the indoor GPS used, the ball is able to manoeuvre in all directions, pick up objects independently and put them down at designated places. Fluff is a lighting system for events or concerts, composed of balloons with luminous LED structure floating like particles of air. The balloons are filled with helium gas and move randomly in the air current. It creates a dramatic space in which the colour and rhythm of light change according to sound input.
Prototype with a frame for testing various combinations of propellers
Human Interaction
Foil (polyamide film)
Control possibilities Propeller arrangements As the agent are going to have the capability to move in the air. Propellers will be a good way to provide the mobility. For this reason, where and how to arrange propellers are inportant for the research of the intellegent agent. The mobility actually is controled by well trained AI brain rather than manually control. When to use, what’s the power, what’s the direction, machine learning will take care all of them. However, we cannot arrange the propellers randomly. Balance is still an important point to the agent. Here are 5 types of arrangements for the prototype. Some are radial while others are tangential. Different type of arrangement will have different properties of mobility.
Foil balloons are made of a thin, continuous film of metal over nylon. Therefore, they are less porous and remain inflated several times longer than untreated latex balloons. According to our research, biggest spherical foil balloon manufactured in the currrent market has 80-90 cm diameter.
Mylar (polyester film) For now we always do the research for individual behaviours. However, because of the prototype design, specially becauce of the arrangement of propellers, the individual behaviours in mobility are limited. For example, actions like rotation are not available individually which may cause problems in the real world, to realize this behaviour, the agents have to learn how to cooperate with another, make the connection and learn the behaviour. We found this kind of cooperative behaviour in the prototype flying research, In the future, we are going to digitalize it and train the brain with Machine Learning. In the furother interactive behavior like collision, attach and detach can happen with multiple agents.
Mylar film is commonly used for manufacturing small blimps (mini airship), and emergency blanket. The material can be manufactured as thin as 12 microns, however, it can be so flexible that it often requires a frame to support its shape and stability. Use a series of targets to as the nodes to define a moving path.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) Thin PVC material is commonly used for advertisement balloons in outdoor public spaces, used for special events. The material's stability and durability keep the helium and can maintain in the air much longer time.
Use one moving target to lead the agent.
Reactive behaviour of the prototype
Latex The material is the most commonly used for short term events. It is light-weighted, but the stability and durability are very low. Latex balloon can only hold their helium for up to 12-24 hours.

multiple prototypes cooperating as one unit
In the mobility test, we are using micro-control to control the movement of the prototype, instead of loading a well trained brain from Machine Learning. In the design, all the decision of movement and communication should be made by intelligence of the agent. In the prototype workshop, not only the intelligent movement, we are also develop behaviours based on reaction system. the reaction system is equally important, which is faster and more straight away. In the next test, we used distance sensors and propellers to build up a negative feedback system. Sensors got the observation of height, and affect the propeller to adjust the position, this feed back loop is able to make the agent keep it self in a specific height, in other direction, with the same principle, the system is able to help agents avoid collisions.
BCI application Another inportant part of our project is user-interaction research, we choce BCI as an example type of interaction tool to research on. In the prototype workshop, we set up an environment to get an interaction with our unit. To go through the work flow we managed to control our unit by headset as an exercise. In that experiment rotation is controlled by the gyroscope of the headset. And the unit can move forward according to the real time data which trained earlier in the Xavier interface.

Chengdu contemporary media art gallery
Advisor: Zangfeng Duration: 2 weeks from initial design development to rendering and production Company: People’s Architecture Office The aim of this project was to design a contemporary media art gallery, which is positioned inside Chengdu’s park. During the design development, geometrical relationships are mostly considered to build the relationship between the programs and functions and to connect the circulation inside and outside the building. To build the geometrical consistency, I used Grasshopper and Rhino.

Other works Voxel tower (2017) AADRL workshop 2
voxel types The aim of was to optimize the flexibility through volume and geometry. Four types of voxels were introduced with different percentages of volumes with reference to the cube voxel.
As an initial study, derived from the John Conway’s Game of Life, we used four different seed images and various rule sets modified from the Game of Life. The rule sets we used are created by slightly modifying the rates of the survival, born, and death rules in the Game of Life. Using the seed images and the rule sets, we observed the patterns of the vertical growths of the Game of Life. Throughout the whole experiments, in order to observe the influence of the rule sets on the configuration of the vertical growth, the seed images which sets up the initial state of the voxels and the height of the vertical growth are set in a control group as fixed factors affecting the results. Having discovered the patterns of the vertical growth, we began to see the fully grown voxel aggregation as a structural body and introduced several concepts that are crucial to the structural stability such as density, clusterization, connectivity, geometries, and gradient. Here are the individual concepts that influenced how the voxel tower looks, followed by catalogues using different seed images and the rule sets we developed using these concepts. While trying to optimize the potential structural stability in the voxel aggregation, we also embarked on physical experimentations using Unity’s physical simulation. Using the concepts, the previous rule sets are modified and developed to identify the structural failures that should be avoided. By modifying the neighbouring relationships we tried to achieve the overarching influence on the whole voxel structure and optimized the structure’s potential capability in terms of flexibility and rigidity.
Density
age centroids
clusterization
After the 3D aggregation, ‘density’ of the alive voxels are calculated, by counting the number of its alive neighbours in x, y and z coordination. The range between the minimum and maximum alive neighbours number is subdivided into four to assign certain color to the voxel accordingly.
We also tried to change the centroid rules to create the centroids based on ages. By locating all of the maximum age voxels, we got the groups of ending voxels of the voxel-columns, which ceased growing when getting the maximum age. Through researching the changes, the maximum age voxels also reflect the density distribution of the voxels, since an amaximum age voxel means a void space above the voxel column, since gaps of the voxels are not only because of CA-rule, but because of the age-rule.
Each voxel in the aggregation checks its distance from the maximum density voxels and puts itself to the closest one’s cluster. By this way, we are meaningfully group the voxels in the 3D grid, seperating them into the number of maximum density voxels. Each maximum density voxels create their own cluster, being located at the center.

Other works Plugin Learning loft (2020) Plugin Learning loft is an object that kids can explore and learn by using additional objects that can be attached on the structure. They can build their own spaces and by doing this, children can learn how to cooperate with other kids, physical properties of different materials of objects, and so on. In this project, there have been many attempts and trial-and-errors of making prototypes before the exhibition.
The things that kids can learn with Plugin Learning Loft
1
The Plugin Learning loft consists of a basic structure and infill materials that connect to it. The sturdy structure addresses safety issues and provides a framework for attachments. Infill options are highly flexible to ensure the Loft is able to meet a wide range of spatial and functional needs.
