Triangular System in Densed Old Town
This project explores triangulation in master planning, bridge structural prototyping, outdoor space, and program development in a dense urban environment. It utilizes an individual geometrical system to govern design patterns, structures, spaces, activities, and connections. The aim is to optimize space use and create an efficient urban environment.

Shared Living in the Urban Jungle
This project seeks to examine the amalgamation of residential, commercial, and work activities within the confines of a highly-populated and compressed urban space. A massing shifting approach has been applied to the co-living area to provide a diverse range of spaces that cater to the needs of different users. Additionally, this project includes an experiment with living modules, which are designed based on a study of old tenement buildings. The objective is to optimize the use of space and create a more efficient and livable environment for occupants.

Regenerate of FENGGUANG Village
Inter-Schools Collaboration Pro ect
Location: FengGuangVillage, Wu Han
Design Year: July, 2019
In the summer of 2019, a joint-university project was undertaken to address the issue of outdated inner-town villages in mainland China. The project site was located in Wuhan, adjacent to Wuhan University. Following site visits, interviews, and model experiments conducted over a period of two weeks, a renewed master layout plan was proposed. Rather than demolishing the entire town, the project sought to explore opportunities for regenerating new elements in conjunction with the existing cultural spirit of the area.
Site Location
Road condition is poor on safety and hygiene perspertive, and the elevation of the street is quite out of pattern, and mixed-up separate cultures.
The Building Blocks within the site is highly densed with each others. light and fresh air are difficult to go inside the centre of the zone, living conditions are unacceptable.
Site Analysis
Inner street performs negatively as well because of the messy hanging electrical wires and the irruled parking situation. Landry also existed in some samll corner of the streets.
Weak connections between FENGGUANG Village and the mountain where is a valuable histroical memorial spot.

Museum Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance
Mission Statement
Activating the TRADITION in the MODERN CITY
The project aims to promote and educate the public about the culturally significant Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, a local event with a rich history in Hong Kong. Given the highly populated and bustling nature of Causeway Bay, the project recognizes the importance of creating a better urban environment and addressing social issues. In addition to highlighting the historical significance of the event, the project also places a significant emphasis on the role of the museum in fostering a better urban environment for the community.

The final model is combining the idea of the Inheritance and Rhythm. Twisiting the long rectangular sheet to achieve different triangular faces. At the same time, the triangular units are combined through the interception. Spaces with height difference are created, spatial difference enriches the vistor experience.
CONCEPTURAL DIAGRAM The Model is created by 5 different size of rings to simulate the motion of rotation. Basic Model Element The high-speed rotation of the ball creates a Sphere Beteen the rings, there are several gaps formed on the surface.
