Prologue
By meticulously designing every aspect of the space, from the overall layout to the smallest details, I aim to prioritize human comfort and create a memorable experience that leaves a lasting impression, no matter how many times someone enters the space.

Syracuse University Biological Research Field Station and Green House
Syracuse’s drastic temperature fluctuations limit vegetation and plant growth. However, the relationship between humans and nature is increasingly emphasized, leading to more research on sustainability at Syracuse University, the best research institute in the region. The current rooftop greenhouse on campus is inadequate, inspiring the idea of a biological research field station at the edge of the city, near a national reserve. The field station design aims to create a seamless transition from urban to nature through its structure, systems, and materials, resulting in a light architecture that adapts to Syracuse’s climate.

Canarcise Revival
The East Flatbush community in Brooklyn faces issues of safety and crime, as well as a lack of resources and green spaces. To address these problems, we propose a green path on Canarcise Lane, an abandoned lane in the middle of the community, to provide a safe and inviting space for residents. Additionally, we proposed bringing more job opportunities and resources, such as affordable housing, to the area. Our goal is to refurbish and reactivate the neighborhood while enhancing the lives of residents.

Other Works
In this section, I will present three works. The first is the visualizations of a portable architecture. The second is a selection of renovation of business office for rental I have done based on the codes in NYC. The third is a selection of drawings from an internship I completed, which involved the design of a high-end senior living facility in Er Hai, Kunming, China. These works demonstrate my technical skills in areas include visualization, and practical drawing.
