FUHAO TAING
Fuhao Taing is currently an international student in his last year of the Architectural Design program at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. His experience as he progressed through the Foundations program into the Architectural design track has lead him to find his distinct focuses of interest to integrate into his design style, specifically relating to the advocating and incorporation of for sustainable design, representations of dynamic movement in his designs, and featuring groundbreaking, advanced technology to fit the pre-established mold and alignment of the characteristics of the specific site. His origin of being from Phnom Penh, Cambodia has lead him to find a passion in integrating cultures in his designs due to his higher awareness of its importance, specifically through his vast travel experience allowing him to value different styles of architecture based on culture. His overall goal is to create unique, sustainable, dynamically representative establishments that seamlessly integrate modern technology, material, and design strategies, yet still fit the culture of the environment he is building in.

ZEN GARDEN
Professor OLAITAN AWOMODO Location: TEMPLE UNIVERSITY Year: Spring, 2019 Media Used: 3D Printing, Chipboard, Cardboard Software Used: Rhino3D, Photoshop, Lumion9, V-ray, Illustrator
Decription
The goal of this model was to create one model that is inspired by each of the study models, as well as other pre-existing architecture. The final model is representative of concepts including elements of human interaction within the defined existing space, the Tyler School of Art and architecture main lobby. Therefore, I introduced an infinity ramp for people to move inside the lobby in multiple ways, which creates a changing experience defined by the user. Furthermore, I am also providing a place for Tyler students to interact with the community in one central location.

AMERICAN REVOLUTION PIAZZA
Professor Ximena Valle Location: Old City, PA Year: Summer, 2019 Media Used: Software Used: Rhino3D, Photsohop, Lumion9, V-ray, Illustration
Decription
Architecture in its simplest form is the practice of designing and constructing a building, yet its purpose is given a deeper meaning through cultural and the surrounding contextual aspects that create a narrative. In this project, I have designed a theatre and cinema in the famously historical area of Old City in Philadelphia, PA. The site is situated on the intersection of Chestnut street and Front Street, surrounded by historical museums and buildings. My design incorporates the use of multiple historical languages, relative from the choice of materials to the design, creating a narrative not only through these choices, but is a visible flow throughout each floor of the building. The first floor is covered with a terra-cotta facade which represents the preexisting typical materiality of historic Philadelphia buildings, The second floor is skinned with a metal panel creating an illusion montage of illustrations from classical American Art depicting George Washington in the American Revolutionary War, representing the industrial revolution and changing of the times. The third floor is covered with glass boxes, designed to simulate a gem, which is representative of the strong and powerful country that America is today.

ELKINS PARK
Professor Christopher Renn Location: Elkins Park, PA Year: Fall, 2018 Media Used: Bristol Board, Pencil, Cardboard, 3D Print Software Used: Rhino3D, Laser Cut, Illustrator, Photoshop
Decription
The curriculum for learning the foundation of Architecture Design explores the creative process by examining natural sp[aces by drawing qualitatively on the bristol board. The design process began with studies at High School Park, in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, including the creation of abstract patterns to represent organic space and surveying and illustrating physical land. A chosen 25’ x 25’ section of the site was selected to further analyze and use as the base for the final cardboard models.

WAFFLE MODEL
Professor Margaux Van Houtte Location: Year: Spring, 2018 Media Used: Museum Board, 3D Print Software Used: Rhino3D, Illustrator, Laser cut, Cura 3D
Decription
In this project, I create a lofted polysurface using the most extreme curves to create negative space underneath it. My intention was to create an exploded space for people to inhabit temporarily sections created in 123D Make. After my waffle model got chosen for a group project, we created 3D printed skin to fit the mold of its design.

Decription
This project is based on natural patterns which are manipulated and abstracted in both digital and physical forms to create models that show layering and depth in both 2D and 3D space. My models are based on an image of tree branches in autumn, so I emphasized the fragmented geometries and symmetries that I observed in the original image.

INTERNSHIP ERDY McHENRY ARCHITECTURE Period: June, 2019 - Present Decription
During my internship period at Erdy McHenry Architecture, I have been fortunate enough to work in a setting in the profession that I have been preparing to pursue in the future. Through my internship, I have gained new experiences and continued to improve on new skills such as Autodesk Revit, physical and digital modeling, how to better organize documents for proposal, among others. Nevertheless, having been able to work with licensed architects has been an amazing opportunity to have as an undergraduate student. I have been able to apply the skills that I have learned through my time as an intern at Erdy McHenry Architecture to my projects at school, enhancing the quality of my rendering, model construction, etc.

Decription
The city of Philadelphia is one of the most well-known and historical cities in the United States of America. In addition, Philadelphia is also known for historical architecture and the city of art. In this studio, Architecture 3232, sustainability design studio, each student is required to design a sequence of three buildings that is related to an artist’s needs. We started with our first buildings, which is a mix-use of a cafe and an administration office, which was then followed with an art gallery building and finished with an artist’s studio tower. In this project, I am interested in designing buildings that have sustainable technology features to operate the building to receive the most outcome, sustainably. I truly believe that sustainability is one of the most concerned topics in architecture design today. Therefore, in this project I have been working with the newest technology and materials that are available in the industry. In addition, I am also using the sizes and shapes of the design to reach the sustainable goals of the studio. Apart from sustainability design, I also proposed a design that addresses how people move inside and outside buildings. In the Philadelphia Art Complex, people may feel differently depending on where they move in the site, even with the same architectural language but it creates a different feeling to the visitor or the people who are using the building. 34

Environmental and Massing Studies
Pavement Cafe
Pavement Cafe is one of my three buildings in the complex. The building shape is designed by the influence of the surrounding rowhouses. The interior calculation is designed by the reflection of the site pathway, which creates the zig-zag path that is produced by the different property lines of the rowhouses. The building’s south facade is a double skinned facade, the interior skin is a glass curtain wall and covered by the transparent solar glass curtain wall. In addition to the solar glass wall, the south facade is also having a solar panel louvers to protect the high angle direct sunlight.

Minimal Surface
In this project, I played with minimal surface to form my gallery facade. The shape of the minimal surface can reduce the amount of the first sunlight to get into the gallery space, it also absorbs the sunlight from southern light.
Locomote Gallery
Locomotion Gallery is the second designed building out of three. The concept ideas of the design are established from the property line offset of the site context. One of the key features of the design is to mirror how people move in the exterior into the gallery space. The visitor moves through the gallery space with a single main corridor with the beautiful artworks display on the side wall. The facade of the building is designed with the shape of minimal surface, which helps block and address the direction of natural light moving into the building. By controlling the natural sunlight, it gives a huge benefit to the exhibitor and building sustainability outcome.
