EOI (Casual Designs) This page is showing some of casual design works I made. Many of digital models are done by Rhino + Grasshopper and rendered by Vray. Some of physical models could be just laser cutted from their digital version. The reason I am showing these works is to demonstrate my expression of interest and show what I am capable of in either digital or physical modelling. In the meantime, my style can gradually form. It is significant to physically get the fancy model we developed in computer. Such a procedure made me to think more before fabricating which may help a lot in developing my architecture design skills. Furthermore, as architecture design belongs to the design field, making these small projects can keep my mind in designing thinking and try out different tools and softwares.

EOI (Casual Drawings) This page is showing some of casual sketches I drew. Some of them lilke those plaster heads paintings are drawn several years ago and some of others like the sketch of Flinders Station shown below is just a rough sketch I made in my second year of my bachelor degree. These paintings are shown here to represent my style of sketching and basic drawing skills. As architecture design involves lots of drawing works especially during the concept showing steps, several quick and effective touches from pencils or markers would help a lot in illustrating ideas from a designer. Although plenty of fascinating design works can be done by computer techniques, a designer with a pencil is still who I prefer to be.

Boathouse Project
Learning From Masters In Studio 2, we are supposed to design a Boathouse beside upper Yarra river in Studley Park. In the meantime, we should develop our design by mimicing styles from 10 architecture design masters, who we spent half of the semester to trace some plans from. As my master is Richard Meier, the right relationship between each function area inside the buliding and use of void and columns should all be captured precisely and applied properly in my boathouse design. Moreover, many elements such as balustrades and stairs in Meier's former work are also presented well in my boathouse project. Last but not least, the emphasis of white color in Meier's theory is also strongly illustrated in my design. After this semester, the relationships between people, building and site is becoming much more clear in our mind. Not only when we are tracing the plans and sections from their masterpieces but also when we are modeling our own project by referring to their styles, those relationships are gradually imprinted in our mind.
Parametric Gateway This is a parametric gateway project we did as a group work in Studio 3, which is a workshop teaching grasshopper for Rhino. Our site is a very unique field located in the highway between Melbourne and Werribee. As it is a relatively broad and flat landscape with three major roads in it, we decided to start with our initial concept with driver's view. Together with the brief of the project, a concept called "metamorphosis" is determined. However, as the effect of that didn't attract driver's attention as we suppose, we altered the concept of our gateway to "change". The rigid panel side on the gateway is supposed to represent the industrialized urban area ---- Melboure while the voroni panel side is meant to demonstrate the natural rural area like the small town Werribee. Therefore, drivers from three highways can experience the change when they passing the site.
