[about] The portfolio covers a wide range of works from housing projects to civic buildings that have a strong focus on finding solutions by looking at form, geometry, biomimicry inspiration, urbanism, structural system, and sustainable design.

One of the driving forces of my work is the appreciation for nature’s simplicity of form and pattern. Throughout the journey of architectural exploration, I look for those languages that guide to a simple and elegant solution for the design challenges.

Story about “the little rock concert hall” [ Lanzarote Music Factory, Concert Hall Complex, Lanzarote, Canary Island, Spain ] University of Oregon, 2018 Spring, Architecture Thesis Studio, Critic: Prof. Virginia Cartwright Inspired by the bold and unspoiled volcanic landform, the exotic vegetation, the unique culture, and the indigenous “music language“, The little rock concert hall entails a story about the magic volcanic rock that fell from the sky during an eruption. With the aim to explores the relationship between spatial harmony, music and simple mathematics, the design derived from the rigid grid system that populated throughout the site. The view framed by the two cubical buildings that look toward the direction of the lagoon and the mountain creates a strong juxtaposition between the organic natural form and the orthodox human logic.

SITE INFORMATION

01

Lanzarote is the easternmoist Island of the Canary Islands and has a volcanic origin. It was born trhough fiery eruptions and has solidified lava streams as well as extravagant rock formations. The island emerged about 15 million years ago as product of the Canary hotspot. It was famous for its outdoor activities such as hiking, surfing, as well as the tourist attraction Caldera blanca. One of the very special thing about Lanzarote is its amazing landscape that nowhere to be founded at other places in the world. The different types of rock and geometry, exotic plants are part of the journey when people go to Lanzarote.

One of the big takeaway from the study of the site is to incorporate the visual connection to the design, to celebrate the special location of the concert hall.

Climate, demographic and history of the

Island are three important aspects that were investigated during the study. The Island is dominated by desert climate, with very little rain during the year. The wettest month is December with an average of 29mm of rain.

Water shortage is one issue in the Island.

During the design process, salt water desalinitation, and fog harvest mesh were considered in the programs. Another main challenge is the sand storms from Africa. There are two main takeaways from the study of the history and demographic of Lanzarote. The traditional Silbo Gemero was developed by the indigenous people, it was considered as a language and heavily related the local music.

It is essentially a whistle language for people in the past to communicate from one side of the mountian to another person on the other side of the mountain.

06 International Running Challenge would be held at Arrecife. People from other Island also participate in the contest that is usually held along the coast. One important development of the city costal line is the costal pedestrain wood path.

07 Local resturants that were distributed around Alter Fischerhafen were essential part of the people’s life. The amazing view to the water front and the mountain in the far distance. Blue was also used as accent color for window decoration.

08 This is part of the costal pedestrain that is around the lagoon.

Again, blue was used as accent color for the guardrail paint. The same color was used in the main lobby in the concert hall, to served as a continuation of the “blue stript�.

03 The geometry contour of nature and the man-made.

04 The idea of a simple square that slanted to create negative space and spatial dynamic.

05 Constructing the space with the simplest architecture language, square as an imitation for how music uses the most basic frequency difference to construct different emotions.

06 Random looking while well-proportioned geometry. It was referred as one of the ancient Chinese garden’s terminologies and philosophy “scattered and organized (cuo luo you zhi)“.

Museo del Piazza Erbe [ Palladio Museum Complex, Vicenza, Italy ] University of Oregon at Vicenza, 2016 Spring, Architecture Study Abroad Studio, Critic: Prof.

Donald Corner, Instructor: Megan Haight By reintroducing the classical Roman columns element into a circular micro piazza, relating back to the original form of the basilica, Museo del Piazza Erbe creates a strong relationship between the past and the present. The juxtaposition of the square and circle displays the interconnection of the social fabric and the architecture historical ideology. By preserving the Roman ruin on the site, and the conservative facade design, it encourages the conversation between the existing and the new. The water feature surrounding the ground floor circle columns was designed to create isolation between this serene and peaceful courtyard with the rest of the existing Piazza and to provide a focal point for the gallery circulation above.

Nomadic Tower [ Skyscraper Refuge & Urban Landscape, Unknown] University of Oregon, 2015 Fall, Architecture Vertical Studio, Critic: Prof. Nancy Cheng The rising sea level caused by the vanishing north pole has greatly reduced the habitable space on earth in 2075 due to climate change. Overpopulation, traffic, dramatic temperature change and other natural disasters have pushed the civilization to the edge. The main concept of the Nomadic Tower is to provide infrastructure where vertical transportation, public service spaces, energy, and waste system were incorporating into the core. Inspired by the falling leaf from a tree, the basic unit “leaf� provides a flexible platform for people to build their community, to preserve the landscape, and to travel under different climate conditions.

We also see these numbers as the approximate distances of the planets from the sun, known as Bode’s Law. It is also the reason why we are awe-struck when we see tge Parthenon of Greece and Pyramids of Gizeh.

Above the Street [ Housing Complex & Commerical and Urban Development, SE Division St, Portland, OR] University of Oregon, 2014 Fall, Architecture Studio, Critic: Melinda Nettles Inspired by one of the most ubiquitous features in many of the houses in the neighborhood, porch-stair, where people sit and look out during a sunny day, the main concept is to incorporate urban development into the commercial, celebrating the communal space for people in the neighborhood. By cutting off the building and bringing the transparent stair into the first floor, it draws the public attention to this urban space where people can drink coffee or read a book under the sun.

Rowing Center [ Facility Complex for University of Oregon Rowing team, Dexter Lake, Eugene, OR] University of Oregon, 2015 Spring, Architecture Studio, Critic: Megan Haight The main design concept was to extend the landscape into the rowing center’s roof to create a relaxing place with a fantastic view for the public to watch rowing contest. The bottom floor, including the main storage space and the locker room, was separated from the public space on the ground floor. Programs on the second floor were also separated from the central circulation. The transparent glazing creates an opportunity for the public to see the training process while not disturbing the rowers.

Housing First [ Affordable Housing for Homeless Individuals, Skinner Butte, Eugene, Oregon] University of Oregon, 2016 Winter, Architecture Vertical Studio, Critic: Christina Bollo With the study of the swarm intelligence in the community of honey bee, the main design intent is to further raise the social attention to homeless individuals and to encourage communication within the community. The use of prefabricated modular cube unit allows the building complex to be quickly assembled and personalized. Public kitchen, hygiene facility and dining area on the ground floor are provided for the residents as well as other people outside the program.

siphonophore under microscope and filming with high-speed camera, and the difficulty of conducting the experiment, one of the goals of this specific project is the attempt to develop a Grasshopper script that can animate the swimming motion by inputting scientific data, so as to facilitate the research process by previewing some of the swimming condition.

Project background: Hanzhao & Christine intended research project to study biology motion in order to provide inspiration for Architecture Motion Design; Kelly’s research project about a deep ocean jellyfish Nanomia Bijuga’s swimming techniques and pattern, the long-term goal for which is to provide a new propulsion system by applying those swimming technique to underwater engines.
