Bell Jar 2012 | Personal | Inspired by Sylvia Plath’s novel THE BELL JAR, this work is made from four hexagonal parabola origami that stack together to create an undulating, swirly and disquieting jar.

“wherever I sat -- on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok -- I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.” THE BELL JAR

B ell Jar The following steps shows how to implement a hexagonal parabola unit. An origami hexagonal parabola, called be various other names such as saddle and hypar, is made by pleating a square of paper along the diagonals. Plenty of pleats will give a parabola looks really intricate and delicate. It also has the curious property of flipping between a form with three alternate corners on the floor and a form with four alternate corners on the floor.

Forms in everyday life -Rain Print 2012 | Personal | Rain Prints are little pit-like marks made by light showers; the prints are circular where the raindrops fall vertically, or oval and with edge raised on one side where the rain falls obliquely before the wind.
Transforming the irregular rain prints into landforms, study model.

Shadow of chances -Pavillion 2012 | Academic work |National Chiao-Tung University, Graduate Institue of Architecture, Audition | Projecting the unmeaning objects to create structures and shapes that would evolve from this exercise. it would change our inherited box like thinking and create a series of shapes not yet seen and the shadow process will determine the outcome of the buildings shape.

Topological Urbanism
*Team Members: Gao Lina, Liu Ran, Liu Yingchen
2012 | Academic work | Architectural Association School of Architecture | The topic of this project is to develop a new urbanism by learning the intelligence from its traditionnal urban system, a new urban mophology which has original city characteristics such as density, special organisation and etc. Asian cities have been growing rapidly with a weak connection to their original city fabric visually and functionally.
Urban growth: tabula rasa
Analyze li-nong typology and extract some interesting urban features from it, such as density, countyyard, street hierarchy, etc.
