Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Eva Yuehua Wang, an architectural designer, graduated from the Architectural Association in London. I am writing to express my interest in working as an RIBA Part II Architectural Assistant or equivalent in your studio.

Previously working in major architectual firms and interdiscipline studios, I have experience with diverse types and scales of cultural and commercial architecture, exhibitions, and installations. I have established workflow with advanced skillsets and design comprehension in practice. During my Part I assitance, I led an interior project from its initial concept to its final hand over to the client, gained rich experience in teamworking and communicative skills with both clients and contractors.

My major interest focus on immersive and media spaces, blurring the boundary between the physical and virtual, creating different dimensions of reality through mediums and material exploration. I continued the research in immersive spaces at the AA. My diploma thesis focuses on discussing the relationship between emerging technologies and its physical infrastructure behind the contemporary critical digital context.

Samples of both architectural and experimental works are attached to demonstrate my professional experience and skills including:

- Architectural drawing (AutoCAD and basic BIM)

- Advanced 3D modelling (Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Maya, Blender)

- Visualisation and rendering (Unreal Engine 5, Enscape, Vray, basic Arduino)

- On-site experience, team working, and communication skills

I am legitimate to work in the UK and recently obtained German Blue Card (Type D visa) to work in the EU. I very much look forward to working with your team and will come with full enthusiasm in the role.

Please do not hesitate to contact me and I would appreciate the opportunity for an interview with you.

Yours Sincerely, (Eva) Yuehua Wang

NEW PROMETHEUS

School: Architectural Association

Year: 2021-2022, Fifth Year, Diploma Unit 6

Type: Cultural, Infrastructure, Theory

Unit Master: Maria Fedorchenko

Visiting Tutor: Lorenzo Perri

Technical Studies: Javier Castanon, Omid Kamvari

Technology is not an entity, it is a process that always decaying to process the new.

The thesis proposes a cosmo-architecture, using data infrastructure as a prototype to manifest a cultural typology that records our past and informs the future. New Prometheus is a cultural institute, an archive of knowledge in the age of digital obsolescence. The space iterates with speculative technology to translate timeless knowledge and information to the future.

Questioning the paradoxical discourse of our condition with technology, the project re-proposes the cultural role that architecture engages with technological infrastructure; Neither engaging in the demonisation nor surrendering to the technological sublime, it is a memo for the accelerating future that leads to singularity.

The design evolves in continuous growing phases, each phase follows alternate technological speculation, obsolete servers are used to support the rise of the new data landscape. It records the infrastructure with alternative data storage along with every technological turn, as the archive of archives, and finally arrives at the future data archipelago, manifesting an alternative data landscape through its own disappearance.

Through the lifecycle and longevity, the irreversible process of decaying the old and processing the new, writes an alternative fiction of technology.

New Prometheus I - Prelude Scan to view the film

Chosing Scapa Flow in Orkney Island as a site, which metaphorically as the cemetry of technology, the sunken technological monster after the preliminary fail of the war, became the legacy of the site.

The sunken wreck of the monster exposes the process of decaying of technology.

The wreck grows with submarine ecology. The site became a sediment of technology, symbiotically grows with the submarine ecology, strives a new possible narrative of technology.

My design proposal follows the same idea of sinking and rising, Focusing on the process of 'becoming', the monster grow and dissolve with time. rewrite the mythology of technology.

Speculative Phases

Modern Prometheus is a cultural institute, an archive of the immersive internet, of the age of digital obsolescence.

The program is an Archive of each generation of the Internet, translating where information can be loaded and uploaded again.

The program aims to reprogram the displacement between information and its storage, to derive a direct, transparent relationship between information and people who is accessing it.

Data from each generation will be translated into the techniques of its new generation, thus half of the space is intentionally left blank (around the sea, to be built and extended), adjusting to the new needs

The program challenges the hierarchy of information and data on the internet (where currently is valued by the security level of information)

Translate incomprehensible information of the data (and the relationship between data) into tangible architectural space

Phase I - Machine Landscape

The first phase is the exposure of the offshore cultural institute that research into current digital culture and archiving of information.

Data science laboratory that researches into future deployment of DNA storage form, with test field and submerge server vessels under the sea.

Phase 2 - Translating

This is the process to translate and encode information into DNA plant.

It is a one-directional process that cannot be reveresed or overwritten. Given the current limitation and process of DNA encoding, a hierarchy of data need to be redefined throught this process - what to remain timelessly and what to diminish for oblivion

Phase 3 - Archiving

The new form is being used to archive the old.

Not only the information, but also its physical infrastructure.

The loop of archiving the former became the archive of archives, library of libraies, finally archiving timeless information with the longevity of its physicality.

Phase 4 - Rising

In the 'archive of the archives', obsoleted servers will be deconstructed as anchorages for submerge structure, carrying sunken data vessles, the metal body will become artificial reef for submarine biology.

The former phase supports the later.

Thansition from offshore to submarine as a time-based monument for the data landscape.

As water decaying obsoletes servers, the server vessels are being reused towards the sea, to rises new archipelago for future data plantation, grow into the water.

5 - Sunken

Sinking and rising...

New technology emerges and the old raise the new. The mega infrastructural monster became less visible, dissolved and rises new structure

At the same time, as DNA plants being developed into new landscape, marking a transition from mechanical to biological, and finally becoming symbiosis with the environment.

Sunken server structure as artificial

In the process of decaying and processing to progress the new at the same time, each phase of the design is the becoming of the new “monster”, which aims to rewrite the mythology of technology.

To conclude, the project sets a frame that is both technological and fictional, historical and speculative. The translation process marks a technological turn from digital mechanic to algorithm big data, then finally to the biological technology which is our ultimate and oldest dream to technology, becoming the ideal medium for our legacy, to rewrite the future mythology.

As the project would continue, in order to not fall into the loop, or not repeat the previous loop of either demonization or romanticization. I would like this process to be the new cosmology or mythological model for technology to be narrated. I want it to represent a kind of an emerging cultural model for technology. This will by my focus in the next stage.

THEATRE BLUR

School: Newcastle University Year: 2017-2018, Third Year

Type: Cultural, Performance, Theatre

Tutors: Anna Czigler, Amy Butt

Urban regeneration always comes along with destruction, demolition and physical changes to the local context. Elephant and Castle is currently on the second verge of regeneration. Consisted of people from different cultural backgrounds, the area is known for its super-diversity community and its multi-cultural shops. The regeneration plan by the Southwark council was aiming to stimulate cultural and economic growth. Controversially, The wide range of demolishment and generic reconstruction is gradually becoming a social homogeneous process. Along with the change of built environment, intangible social identities and memories attached to those physical fragments were also diminished.

As James Corner stated, “making mapping, not a tracing” in The Agency of Mapping, contextual research often focuses on the physical and material context of the site and then finally presented in physical form by the architects. Intangible contexts are always hard to be captured, measured and expressed apart from the material side. These often lead to a generic and stiff institutional limitation in cultural architecture.

The primer part of this project aimed at how material reflects social diversities and vise versa. In the individual project, theatre blur, I tried to preserve and archive the social character of Elephant and Castle embedded with material experiments, translate spatial information on physical material by immersive technology.

This project explores the potential of archiving intangible social information with an architectural approach and form sharing and diverse identities. Instead of seeing the regeneration of a demolishing process, I see it as a utopian potential to diminish the boundary in the segregated community and continue social interaction.

Material Experiment

Exploring the visual connection by studying into transparent and translucent materials. I deployed projection into this experiment because its permeable characteristic provide a possibility to see a material as a medium that connects spaces. Immersive projection was used as another layer of information as our primer research

Projection System

Digital and Social Material

Elevation Show on -

When the show on in the theatre, visitors can get a glimpse of filtered view into the theatre. The projection and light inside the theatre emphasis the audiences figure and was seen as an obscured scenery. The view through curved translucent (different range)theatre skin changes according to visitors motion, as they walk up along the spiral staircase. The view gets clearer when they go to the upper level, which resembles the “gallery” in traditional theatre.

The projection on building facade will start at the night play time (19:30) at night. The view was reversed when the inside was illuminated and shared by pedestrians.

Polycarbonate LED lit up the under bridge arches and connected the Walworth community to the main street to stimulate more activities and event in the public walkways around the theatre.

1. Map of circulation and movement in the neighbourhood. I have sumed 4 types of spaces and analysised how different vertical change in movement and circulation imply those spatial characters.

As the result showed, barries are negative factor that diminish both vertical and horizontal movements. The place has more vertical movement and circulation when it qualify all three characters

thresholds, doors, entrances... begining point to interior window, glazing, transparency... semi-exterior or a connection to exterior balcony, terrace, patio, platform... exterior that allows multiple activities barriers, fences, unaccesible area

three public locations were examined in Leith Edinburgh.

In this project, I examined the difference of movement and circulation from the first person perspective. I have recorded my own movement and circulation in 3 days. In the architectural space, although my movement was 3 dimentional, my circulation was restricted by the design of the room.

However, as I examined my activities in urban enviroment, my circulation became more 3 dimentional. Vertical activities happend along with mt movement. How does our living space form our movement and how can we make the decide to move in all dimentions with a free of body express?

*The research film 'What makes a Shhh space' was exhibited in the Beijing Architecture and Urbanism Biennal in 2021, scan to view

The project aims to address discourse on material exploration in virtual space. What is a safe space in the metaverse? What constructs a safe space in the virtual world and what makes it a safe gathering?

The core focus is on virtual materiality and how it could mediate to draw relationships between spaces and the identity performance of its inhabitants. Metaphor is a tool to construct the symbolic and psychological togetherness of the virtual space. Through the form of weaving, collectively create a safe fabric in the speculative future for the minority group in Beijing, where the ultimate building material is the togetherness of its user. Being seen, being visible.
