01 Public Archive
1 Superwall, 6 Artists, 80 Bunkbeds, 3000 Artworks
Critic: Hilary Sample 2018 Spring A museum is an archival practice. It mediates the relationship between artists and the public. National Museum for Women in the Arts is one of its kind that celebrates women’s participation in the art. This project tries to transform the existing building into a public archive system of women artists. The archive is a reconfigured as a super-wall system. The superwall is a continuous wall that wraps the existing structural system. It would not only reinforce the storage of women artists archive but also materialize the traces of the museum as a public institution across time. Besides, by adding hostel into the museum’s program, a more comprehensive way to live with archive was created to maximize the public access to the archive. In a way, the museum itself became the active public art that constantly responds to the situation of women artists and society.

02 Beyond Death
28 Islands, 60 Bridges, 25000 Memory
Critic: Karla Rothstein 2016 Spring Life is from birth to death, from gathering to releasing. In between is living: a process of filtering through time, observation, exploration, and manipulation. Where death resides is infrastructure for the absolute fulfillment of living. There are no expectations or exceptions. Ambiguity celebrates subjectivity as a witness of existence. Seeing sky descending, rain dancing and figures blurring, hearing water rippling, wind whispering and lives flourishing. Up to the roof to touch the canopy of nature, or down to the water to dig up the long-buried treasure and to remember the ones who parted. Seasons change, time shifts, we vanish.

03 Macro Units
256 Beds, 1/3 Sharing Space
Critic: Galia Solomonoff Collaborator: Wen Zhou 2015 Fall Modern housing intended to segregate people based on conditions, either natural or cultural ones, which has been challenged by the advent of the Internet and social networking applications. Macro Units investigated a new urban housing type to live with sharing, from space to multifaceted social resources. Rejecting the traditional model of centralized sharing open space in the collective housing history, it also sought to a hierarchical shared space seamlessly connecting private bedrooms to the city.

04 Doppelganger
20 Tree Columns, 30 Work Cabinets
Critic: Mimi Hoang 2015 Spring A bank is about exchanging social resources. The agency of exchange has two sides: to engage with the local community; to compete in global market. They are parallel settings for bankers and communities. Instead of stacking private bank space on top of public space, this project tried to introduce a vertical public space into the bank. So different interfaces between bank and community could be framed at different levels. By revealing the two sides of the agency of exchange, the mutual reliance between the community and the bank was rebuilt.

05 Almost Linear
Philip Taaffe Art Foundation Facade Design
Critic: Robert Heintges, Daniel Vos 2017 Fall The design tries to create a dynamic, adaptable and responsive building envelope for the art foundation. It utilized double skin unit facade system. On the inside was a layer of insulation glass units with Low-E coatings, which would achieve the balance between energy efficiency and transparency. On the outside were an array of aluminum extruded panels. The individual panel was composed of four aluminum extrusions which were colored in red, yellow, purple and dark gray. They were rotatable while getting installed, so every panel could have different color elevations. Besides, by rotating metal panels, the outer layer could either close off the inner glass skin or fully open it to the outside. So across the whole building, by combining panels of different lengths and of different rotations, a skin of dynamic color composition and transparency would be created in response to different programs of different natural light needs. When building programs shifts, the building skin could also be adjusted accordingly by rotating metal panels into different positions.
