cover letter:
As a designer and job captain with over five years of experience, I have a well-rounded technical and design expertise working on various high-end residential, commercial, and institutional projects throughout Southern California and overseas. Working on a residential design-build project from schematic design to construction management, I have learned to communicate effectively and conscientiously with client/boss, consultants, fabricators and manufacturers. I have incorporated Revit in design and documentation process for various types of projects for also various groups of clients to streamline coordination with consultants efficiently since 2007. Being LEED Certified in 2009, I have incorporated stainability techniques into projects. Experiencing the construction and manufacturing industries evolved fast to deliver complex forms, I felt strong urge to explore emerging design to integrate all this development in synch. Between 2011 and 2013, I pursued a Master’s of Architecture at The University of Pennsylvania. I explored design in methodological, programmatic and tectonic ways. It was exciting to create nonlinear formation using parametric tools (Grasshopper and Python) in a studio taught by Cecil Balmond. From Matthas Hollwich’s micro housing studio, I learned to extend a designer and building’s responsibility and impact as an initiator to make differences in society. With growing interests in landscape design, I took several landscape courses enough to be certified in landscape architecture, incorporated into my architectural design, and vice versa. After graduation, I took a break from my professional career to rest and reflect. The gap enabled me to solidify my foundation. I am refreshed and reinvigorated to return to the workforce. New practices facilitated by new technology are profoundly altering the ways we measure, create, and ultimately inhabit space. As a practitioner, my goal is to conceptualize innovative intersections between art, science, technology, architecture, and cities. My efforts intend to exemplify emerg ing developments within each of these fields to reach the widest possible audiences.

related experience:
Response to the Environment Good buildings are rooted in a response to their context that begins with an understanding of the local climate. The basic principles of building siting, solar orientation, and integration with the landscape form the foundation of work.

Community and Connectivity
The Craft of Construction
Memorable Places
Buildings do not exist in isolation. As a designer, I have a unique responsibility to reinforce the community of the larger whole. This applies not only to the people who reside in the building and its neighborhood, but equally represents the intangible values and cultures with which buildings can influence. My goal is to design a good building personality that interconnects people and places.
Architecture doesn’t evolve from the manipulation of form, but rather from the conscious organization of a program in response to context, artfully built. Durability, timelessness and sustainability are founded in the thoughtful selection of materials, systems, and details that constitute the craft of construction.
Good buildings transcend programmatic and technical requirements to become memorable places that enrich the lives of their community. My goal is to design buildings specific to their place, hence joyful to inhabit.

a singing dune in eureka valley, inyo, california
3 Travel Plan 1 Four hours of driving from sea level to the valley floor required beef jerky. 2 We quickly realized that shoes were not necessary. 3 The sheer scale of ‘small’ dunes was breath taking. The entire climb took about two hours. 4 The sand dune rises 700’ above the valley floor. 5 The sand sang for us! 6 Dusk is beautiful from the tallest point in valley.

Time-lapse and Time-scape Just as lapsed photography captured things we were unable to see with our bare eyes, we were most interested in a building that maps things we cannot see into its very structure and internal logic.
Sand Because the building site is a singing dune, we used sound waves, sand as our building material and structural system.
Visualization of sound Cymatics is a two-dimensional study of sound vibration. I was able to visualize frequencies by transmitting such vibrations onto a steel plate covered in a thin layer of particles. Using this logic, I explored the three-dimensional possibilities of the sound wave and how it can effectively structure a body of sand.
Stress line by millipede script Once I grasped the movement of sand, with a script that analyzed and optimized its structure, I traced back and reticulated the shape that sand particles created. The structural lines became not only structural lace work for the sand to become part of building, but a lighting system that visualized the building’s innate structure.
Cymatic Studies To understand wave vibrations, I studied cymatics to visualize how different impulses are able to inform the structure. I experimented with wave formulas - cosine and sine waves; how they cancel each another out, how they can amplify one another, and finally how they can interact with materials and surfaces. I created a series of videos to visualize the gradual transformation as impulses varied per time and distance.
Cymatic Studies on a Dune The study carried on a slope of the dune.
Freezing at the perfect moment Running the python script on an existing sloping site, I waited for the moment when the interesting form emerged. I froze the frequency and the amplitude at that moment. I created a solid surface space based off the varying location of each sand particle within the boundary box, using a script that turns points to iso-surfaces.
Creating stress lines Millipede, a structural analysis and optimization component for grasshopper, allows for linear elastic analysis of iso surfaces from the sand. So, the sand movement can be visualized in points, surfaces, and lines.
Creating stress lines I created the structural frame/ lace work per the structural analysis on the solid surface space emanated from sand.
Oscillating Structure lines I was curious to learn the outcome by running the wave formula on the stress/structural framing.
Oscillating Structure one more times A more complex formation emerged to respond to the varying environmental factors
Wavescape | waving entire site Applying the wave studies to the site, ideal siting location emerges from the dune’s slope. As the slope lines intertwine, they not only reveal the steepest part of the dune but a uniqly multidirectional zone. The anchoring of the structure at the juncture of these zones will allow for further expansion in the years to come. As a future-footprint timescape, this map also reveals our structural logic. The rebar, shaped by the waves at work within the dune, responds locally to the seemingly global wave pattern of the dune.

Coordiation with consultants SD, DD, CD, BID set, used Revit + Auto Cad
Mira Hershey Hall was the first all-women dorm built in UCLA in 1931. With seismic renovation and accessibility upgrade, the building is reprogrammed to new scholarly support space, computer labs, and faculty offices. All construction documents are BIM generated. I used the Revit model to coordinate with the consultants to avoid conflicts between existing roof structure and newly introduced building system, keeping the integrity of the original building. This robust consultant coordination of building systems, rapid schedule development and overall construction problem solving are among the several advantages of BIM. Resolving coordination issues with BIM before construction has started translates directly to a smoother schedule and budget control. In addition to the BIM uses, the model was used to perform an energy analysis using Autodesk’s Green Building Studio.

Additionally, I was responsible for shopping for materials, and coordinating subcontractors and manufacturers to execute the design, revising/improvising the details when needed at the job site, while keeping the design intent intact. While keeping the existing structure and roof, we proceed with two phases of permits. One was for a site to add a pool, a garage, and a deck over the garage. While the site is under construction, we pulled the second permit for the house part ; replacing building skin and renovating the entire interior space.

“New Café by the SEAS is a big hit ... In January, Café by the SEAS opened in a new larger and brighter space on Boelter Hall’s 5th floor breezeway, just across from its previous location. The new location has been a hit with students. More tables and outlets for laptops are available to those who need a place to hang between classes or a place to catch up on some work. Natural light streams in from windows that adorn the entire south side wall. And caricatures of great scientists, such as Einstein and Maxwell, drawn by one of the café’s artistically talented student workers, decorate one of the larger shelves.” from UCLA Samueli Newsroom

The lack of office space on campus led to the idea of cutting into the existing garage to expand office space. This means occupancy type changed from parking to office occupancy, which required a thoughtful approach in order to comply to the fire, and ADA code. The concrete floor needed floor materials with sufficient cushion. By strategically exposing duct works and fire sprinkler and using translucent materials in design, the team tried to overcome space challenges such as low ceiling and lack of day light, still providing privacy and ambient work environments.

High Speed Railway was already planned to connect Shanghai and Beijing. Jinan station will serve as one of its main transportation hubs. The site is located on Jinan’s periphery. Traditionally, Chinese culture perceives a city’s boundary as fixed and solid, impassable. Nonetheless, my team projected rapid city growth in the near future. We suggested to increase connectivity to initiate new growth for Jinan. The railway will serve a dual purpose as a hub locally and nationally. Additionally, we proposed a rainwater collection and recycling system to preserve clean water, which Jinan is traditionally known for. I was responsible for a sketch-up model of the design for instant feedback from international team members and of putting together a design report and its English translation.
