PROJECT 1

-ELEVATED NEIGHBORHOOD

Individual work_ Jul-Sep, 2022

In the 21st century, people began to realize that abundant land resources could not keep up with its growing demand. As demand continues to increase over time, a skyscraper solution has been proposed, which leverages the capacity of the land by building superstructures to support a larger population.

The project designed an elevated community that rises from the ground at a certain height.

The lower part of the building and the ground are used for urban agriculture, community gardens and basic shops, while the upper part of the complex creates a self-contained community. Housing is the main function of the complex, which also houses public spaces such as studios, gardens and learning centers.

PROJECT 2

-FUN BOXES

Individual studio work_ Oct-Dec, 2023

Passenger train travel, a revolutionary creation in mass mobility, began 200 hundred years ago, between stations of the Liverpool Manchester Railway. In September 2030 there are plans to celebrate the bicentenary both in the cities of Manchester and Liverpool and at operating train stations along its route. Each of these train stations will host connected celebrations throughout the year and will mark this occasion with bespoke exhibitions and events which will welcome new visitors and existing commuters alike. Huyton is one of these stations.

Huyton Village will host a series of performance events throughout the year, beginning and culminating with station arrivals and departures via an Exhibition/ Carnival hub.

This project is aiming to design a demountable carnival / exhibition and incubator hub with public realm at the tip of the high street: Huyton Station Gateway. It will house three events : carnival performances , exhibition of the history, incubator activities.

PROJECT 3 -ARCHED

GROWTH

Individual work_ Jan-Feb, 2023

This project is located in Genazzano, Italy, where is near Rome. It is a quiet and peaceful town with a classical atmosphere. The project area is surrounded by vegetation and several small houses are located nearby.

The design takes minimal intervention on the original ruins, keeping all the existing stones, and building a concrete structure over the original walls, which looks like a kind of upward growth of the ruins. The combination of old stones and new materials, making the ruins rejuvenate while preserving the traces of history.

PROJECT 4

-INDOOR JOURNEY

Individual studio work_ Apr-May, 2024

Huyton Village Green (HVG) is a green urban regeneration project with food, culture, learning and performance at its heart.

HVG will be a cultural and community hub - giving the people of Huyton, and beyond, space to connect, play, learn and grow. Permeated throughout by diffuse library and growing (plus performance) spaces, HVG will offer a cinema and restaurant, plus flexible working and events spaces including a rooftop garden.

We will be creating street frontage upgrades/ refurbishment/ reintegration with public realm and creating an exclamation mark at the TOP of the high street for the second gathering of the carnival!

PROJECT 5 -MELTMALLOWS

Individual studio work_ Dec, 2024

Concessions are becoming an increasingly important reason for people to go to the cinema, and are integrated into the current experience of watching movies. The studio work started with the candy research, the observation of the chosen candy is reflected in the design, such as the material and spatial arrangement of the building.

Inspired by the heating properties of marshmallows, the appearance of the building incorporates the threads produced by melting marshmallows and the expression of the transformation from solid to liquid. The overall architectural style reflects the soft, fluffy character of the marshmallow, create a relaxing and cozy viewing experience for customers.

The topography of the site is undulating, space in the low-lying areas uses rainwater to freeze into ice for skating activities. All design details avoid right angles to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere for customers.
