Media Tower Course: Advance Studio | Airborn Year: Fall 2014 Instructor: Thom Faulders
The tower serves as the medium to represent urban phenomena by turning the city into an image. People in the city use the internet more and more, so I wanted to explore the relationship between social media and the city. Usually media acts separately from the city, so rather than treating it as separate from the urban life, the building is reflecting the urban life, as well influencing it by giving the information back to the city. The building created a platform that allow people to create, share and exchange information, ideas, images and video.

MUSEUM: Historic Story Telling Migration/Memory/Settlement Course: Comprehensive Building Design Year: Fall 2013 Instructor: Margaret Ikeda Evan Jones
Location: Angle Island, San Francisco There is tension in the site between the history of the past and present. This building modulates the two emotions that you feel when you realize the histoty of the site. It balances out the feeling of empathy for the immigrant’s hardships and the feeling of apperciation for the freedom you have today. In order to relate the two feelings with each other, there are two parts in this building which interlock. One part os the winding pathway, which repreadents the immigrants who experienced hardship. The other part is the volume that the pathway wraps around, which represents the people today whose lives are shaped by immigrants. The interlocking betwwen the two shows that there is a gradual transition and a dialogue between them. This represents that even though our lives are different, as people we both experience times of hardship and relief. While we are each individuals with different experiences, our shared history conntects us to each other and make us feel that we are not so different after all.

1. Old Building (Introduction- Performance )
When people first come into the building, they see the view of the old building as part of the history of the site. The program in first volume is performance, so it can been seen as an introduction of the buidling. It introduces the immigration story.
2 .Ocean (American Dream-Lecture )
3 . Nature (Meditative-Meeting/Cafe )
People have a view of the Pacific Ocean on the second part of the ramp. It reminds people of their American dream, which is what the lecture talks about. There will be a lecture space next to this path.
The third ramp has rocks under the glass surface. There is a green roof for people to walk on. The space is more about nature, so it invokes thinking. The meeting and cafe space here allows people to share and exchange thoughts with each other.

4 . Geneology (Culture )
The last volume is the Geneology research area. By continuing to walk on the ramp, people can glance at the Geneology research area, which introduces them to the study of the immigration culture. The research area allows you to read more infromation about the immigrants’ stories.

A6.1 A7.0
Location: Ningbo, China The concepet of the school is to stitchlink private programs and social gathering spaces. By adapting the natural environment, it has allowed me to strategize programming and building orientation that responds to the sun. Located on the site, are two historical buildings. First was an existing 4 -stores hospital which is reused to allow student dormitory. The other is small 1 store ching dynasty carriage that is converted into a public cafe. With the harsh solar gain on the northeastern side, the building consists of a double skin. Glass on the inside, with a folding facade on the exterior that is made of local bamboo from the Siming Mountain that are within Ningbo City.

Site Analysis of Ningbo
By analysing the urban context of the Northern site of Ningbo, the longer side of buildings are oriented towards the sun for maximum solar gain.
It has come to our attention that the sun can either be a friend or antagonist. While it is extremely cold during the winter, it is important for buildings to absorb solar gain

Lightweight Structure Course: Creative Project Management Year: Fall 2013 Instructor: Peter Anderson
Location: Bijiagos Archipelago, Africa The project is to devise strategies for bringing simple structures to remote areas of the world for humanitarian purposes. The central focus has been on creating school classrooms, but the concept of lightweight easily-deployed structures is equally applicable to other building types, such as clinics, community centers, and disaster-relief efforts. The specific design criteria came from a request from a real-life client, a non-profit foundation based in Portugal and Guinea-Bissau, whose primary purpose is to help bring educational opportunities to a remote region of islands off the west coast of Africa--the Bijagos Archipelago. The islands have a unique culture and environment, and many areas are protected as a UNESCO biosphere reserve because of the largely undisturbed and fragile ecosystem. There is only one small airstrip and an occasional ferry on the most populous island in the chain, and most of the other islands are accessible only by shallow draft canoes.
The average human body is able to lift 4 pieces of 0.5” Plywood as a couple If the material needs to travel by water, most of the structural pieces are able to fit comfortably in a strandard 14’ x 6’ canoe. It would take 7 canoes to transport all material. Each canoe can hold up to 0.3 tons of plywood. All material adds up to be 2.15 tons. All material for structure is able to fit in a standard 26’ x 7’ pick up truck.
The island is very difficult to access them, as there is no regular transportation system connecting the islands to the mainland or to each other.

The concept of the project is transfer city grid into the building, creates extention of the street typology into the project. Apply ‘two to one’(two seperate pieces into one piece) typology into the project. The negative space is the hidden space in the building, the positive space is where the bedroom located. The light and air ould coming into each unit. Circulations are only locate on the first and third floor. The programs inside each unit are follow the sequence of public, semi public, semi private and private.

According to their differnt job, I use two building materials to indicate thier liveing space. One is soft(Wood) on tone side for the wirter have a warm, light space to creat literature work, the otherpart is hard(Concrete) for the photographer provide a dark room to develop films.The center part is the space for they sharing together, where the two materials intersect together. In this house, They will have their own independent live and work space withoutinterupt each other. Also, a sharing space in the center for their connection.
