WASTE AUTONOMY A FOOD WASTE CENTER FOR WEST SYRACUSE FALL 2020 Waste Autonomy is a new food waste center with research, selfrecycling, and entertainment functions. This project aims to shift the stereotype to the recycling center and provide a cheap and healthy food supply for the community. A big steel structure hangs the research bars over the existing building and acts as a greenhouse.

Traditionally, most food waste in Near West Syracuse would be transported out of the community to the recycling center. Our goal is to create a new food waste center that acts as a community center. Food waste breaks down into biogas and residue in a digester. The residue would become fertilizer for vegetations. Biogas can produce electricity for the greenhouse. The food from the greenhouse can be sold at a food court. All the waste finally return to loop again.

SHELT-AIR A POST-DISASTER ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEM FOR TOKYO SUMMER 2019
Shelt-air is a mid-tech post-disaster architectural system that synthesizes and embodies the explored potential of pneumatic principles for creating geometrical, material and non-conventional spatial and can provide a quick, sensible and sensitive response to the need of shelter. The system is an evolving hybrid that combines prefabrication componency with a post-fabrication logic of construction.

FABRICATIN Since the fabrication process requiered to deal with a big amount of double curvature surfaces, a logic similar to the fashion garments was applied.
SURFACE BREAKDOWN Each surface was assigned with a specific letter, and each subpatch contained in it was then unrolled and broken out.

CORAL ARCH A MOVING VESSEL FOR MALOLO ISLAND IN FIJI SPRING 2020
This studio design project suggests a prototype for coral conservation. Coral Arch is committed to solving the clash between environmental protection and economic benefits faced by the local island of Fiji. When the marine environment deteriorates and becomes not suitable for the growth of coral, the vessel can collect and store the coral in chambers. After detecting the environment to become suitable for coral, Coral Ark will release coral to accelerate the recovery of coral and the environment.
SECTION OF MALOLO ISLAND Most of the islands in Fiji are formed by the lava that erupted from submarine volcanoes thousands of years ago and provide the most suitable area for the growth of coral. The habitat of coral is threatened by erosion caused by ocean current.
CORAL DISTRIBUTION Two kinds of corals require different growing environments. Shallow coral requires sun and warm water, while deepwater coral needs very little sunlight and can tolerate colder water temperature.
FUTURE OF MALOLO ISLAND Due to water erosion and pollution, coral species are facing a great threat. If local people keep their business mode, most coral will extinct in 50 years. Oppositely, the coral arch can keep visitors away from traditional island and protect coral.
SOCIAL PROBLEM IN FIJI The economy of Fiji mostly depends on tourism, which threatens the habitats of coral. Though the Fiji government tried to introduce the environment protection act, the act was hindered by the local entrepreneurs and clash between the local and foreign people.
Before the environmental disasters, the deep chambers would be fragmented and become vessels that transported around Fiji islands and collect various kinds of coral species. The coral arch would be open to the public to attract tourists for educational and entertainment purposes, which can minimize their damage to the environment.

After environmental disasters, the Coral Arch would keep harvesting the corals until detecting a suitable environment for the coral growth. Then, chambers would be fragmented again. The embedded corals would be spread to their correspondent habitat, which would accelerate the recovery of the marine environment.

COPIED IN BEIJING A REIMAGINATION FOR COLLISION BETWEEN CULTURES SPRING 2021 Shanzhai, the Chinese word for copycatting, is a considerable phenomenon in the art history of China and also represents the collision and adaptation between traditional Chinese culture and western culture. Shanzhai’s special and close relationship with the vernacular inevitably brings our attention to the abundant vernacular constructions. We survived the areas in Beijing where there are the most diversified vernacular constructions. Inspired by the diversity of buildings in Beijing, we utilized the complete map of Beijing to document some significant architecture in Beijing and imagine the result of famous western architecture with traditional Chinese style.
