The form is generated by the Boolean operation of two rectangles. And the main concept is about shifting. One is slightly shifted from the other. Programs are aligned with the shifted grid, and circulation is wrapped around two sides of the auditorium.

By doing that ,The concept is bringing the view around the corner of telegraph and 22 street. Again, stairs are shifted on both sides connecting with the foyers. So two foyers functions as circulation and they provide views as well.

Instructor: Johnathan Cummings

Individual Work, 2020. 01-04

The project is the first attempt of designing a large-scale residence. Through the precedent study-Kitagata Housing by SANAA, referred the single row architectural volume that is as similar as the design of Kitagata Housing. The single row will reduce the chunkiness of architecture and make the whole building light, which I think is an aesthetic representation of the building. It also facilitates the circulation that make the movement smooth and convenient. Residents can simply circulate around by the hallway. The building highlights its lightness in many aspects, not only in construction, but the program design is also innovative and matches the vivid spirit of students of new generations. combine laundry with circulation together to incorporate a new living habit: laundry is redefined. The design of the building responses energy of students, aiming to design a comfortable living environment as well as stimulating creativity of students at the same time.

ARC363: Landscape Architecture Studio III

Instructor: Sonja Vangjeli

Individual Work, 2019.09-12

The project is an exploration of public space. It is challenging to construct tangible landscape by using the intangible features of public space. Since the landscape site is continuously generating and changing, people’s habit and activities are logically depending on the history of the site. It is important to understand the history of the site, since the current appearance is a result of changes based on its history. Landscape and people are contemplate that people’s behavior changes the landscape and landscape influences how people’s living experience continuously at the same time. The project is trying to have a conservation with future people in 30 years. It’s conventional that the technology will not change too much of people’s living style. And trying to add a romantic and poetic environment into life. It is suggesting people to slow down and experience what is genuinely precious in life.
