Urban Harvest Housing with Urban argriculture
Architecture Core Studio III(2013 Fall) Instructor: Anna Ives Shewsburry, St.Louis, USA Urban farming is my strategy to revive the history of the river. The excessive parking lots will be changed back into farmland; the riverbed is used to grow rice in an aquaponic system that can be responsive to the rise and fall of the water. A huge green house with beautiful flowers and plants fills the first floor. This space is served by artificial light powered by on-site photovoltaics.

The theme for the upcoming Expo in Astana is “Future Energy.” AS+GG’s design for EXPO-2017 will embrace the Future Energy concept by becoming the first Third Industrial Revolution city, where energy consumed by the Expo community will be provided from renewable sources. Buildings will become generators of power and their energy will be stored using innovative technologies while being distributed by a smart grid. The Expo community will provide infrastructure to encourage and support the use of vehicles that use renewable fuels.

‘Rejuvenation’
Sustainable Industrial building Re-use Revit, Dynamo, Cloud Rendering, Arduino Advanced Revit Integrative Studio (2014 Fall) Instructor: Anders Nereim 4046 North Hermitage, Chicago 45,000 SQ. FT. I concentrated on designing a building with a robot arm system which ivy can grow on it. The system can actively optimize themselves over time, using low voltage photovoltaic collectors, capacitance power storage, sensors in a mesh network of completely autonomous units. They can be used for shading in summer and advertising equipment. The different shapes also framing spaces for multi-use. The large staircase in south side provide clients good view to watch the performance of the skin systems and all activities in courtyard.

New Plaza for Performer
The “Loop” Pier is designed as the new landmark pier in Santa Monica. Not like the triditional “lines like“ pier, the new pier have a circle circulation, visitors will never have to use the same way in their return trip. There are two “highlight spaces” in both ends of the pier and connected by bridge-sharp pathway. All the programs be orgnized in the center of this big loop, where all the pier around can have a good view. The sharp of pier can be continue develop in the future, the new bridge can connected more potential places and make the pier larger and more prosperous.

Science and Visit Center in State Park Architecture Core Studio II(2013 Spring) Instructor: Pablo Moyano New Orleans, USA the water level is changing with the rain in the site, ocal residents built the home much higher than ground level. In the park, most of the area is not accessible because the swamp-kind land is dangerous. My idea is inspired by Bald Cypress, one of few kinds of trees can survice in such extreme environment. The building will upon this swamp-kind landscape, and have a function like a web spreading out, people who using the building would have a chance to have a deeper visiting swamp which they can not reach before.
Observation
Visitor Pavilion in Forest Park Architecture Core Studio I (2012 Fall) Instructor: Ken Tracy Forest Park, St.Louis, USA 10,000 SQ. FT. The design is using organized units to create space and building. This is the final part of the studio, I designed a building in the high point of Forest Park, which used the characteristic of my units to enjoy the local balloon game and beautiful landscape surrounding.

Cellular Transformation Cellular architecture: a dynamic form
Research Assistant Since 2013 Spring Instructor: Sungho Kim, Assistant Professor, School of Architecture Ram Dixit, Assistant Professor,Department of Biology http://pages.wustl.edu/cellulartransformation There is a shift in design process, not only to invent new materials, but to reorganize and transform the materials that currently exist in our world. The research is a project that hybrids organic and synthetic interfaces by developing a cohesive materialism where the both biological and artificial enhancements are produced.Our goal is to invent new formations of substrates and scaffolding techniques that allow cells to fabricate its own natural matrix and structural integrity by holding its own mechanical loads. The research is future of designing spatial environments where the organic and synthetic materials come together to take full advantages of ecological and sustainability processes that our world is facing.

Desert Crystallization Digital Fabrication
<Machinic Processes> Beijing Architecture Biennale 2010 Instructor: Robert Stuart-Smith Beijing, China
Being astonished by the desert scenery, we realize it is nature that use her uncanny craft to shape this natural art. We wonder if we can select the right materials, friction and gravity control, rational production process to bring this magnificent spectacle in our indoor lab. Self-organized material formations is developed and threats with a crystalizing spray in order to obtain strong shell formations.
Shared Border Architectural competition
Project Team member in PTW Architects (2011) Hong Kong, China The Shared Border terminal building proposes a border crossing based on the close relation of China and Hong Kong. The proposed border crossing aims at defining the border between China and Hong Kong not as a separation between its people but as a shared location for the exchange of flows within these countries.In order to dissolve the dividing river border the cut through the two terminals is blurred by an ever present artificially produced cloud of vapor. The cloud is filling the gap and symbolizing the dissolving of the boundary between people from either side.
