Skyscrapers are important landmarks of the city and contribute to urban
quality, density, sustainability, and livability. Mixed-use high-rises that combine residential, hotel, and retail spaces, can make a positive contribution to Chicago’s Loop (Central Business District) in terms of urban vitality, and urban infrastructure. The project is designed to explore the relationship of the skyscraper to complex physical, social, and environmental context while engaging issues of detail and construction in expressing architectural ideas and concepts. The site is located on the north bank of the Chicago River in the 200 blocks of Chicago’s Streeterville District, immediately south of the NBC Tower. North Cityfront Plaza Drive on its western edge, North Water Street on its northern edge, and North Columbus Drive on its eastern edge define the site. Even in the current recession, this is an area of growingdemand for housing and hotel accommodations.
CONCEPT & DEVELOPMENT The oval footprint is designed to smooth the intersection around, better connecting the pedestrain level and river walk level. The shape of the building enables the users to enjoy more city view. Two atriums on the condo zones and garden on the hotel zone bring the green space vertically throughout the whole building and bring more natural sunlight into the building.

This model image shows the relationship of the podium
and the Chicago River at north. The oval shape of the building smooth the intersection around, better connecting the pedestrain level and river walk level. People can more easily come from the pedestrain level and down to the river walk level around the building. Outdoor space and landscape outside the podium are well designed to provide a more inviting space for people to stay. An atrium is designed along the Chicago River at the river walk level inside the podium, which also provides a better view. This relaxing space inside links the outdoor landscape into integrity.

Project is informed by the study of a unique site: Cahokia Mounds. At
the time, Cohokia covered more than six square miles. Today, Cahokia Mounds is considered the largest and most complex archaeological site north of the great pre-Columbian cities in Mexico. It included a central plaza, residential neighborhoods, more than 100 massive earth mounds and the wood henge. The Cahokia Woodhenge was a series of large timber. Annual equinox and solstice sunrise observation events are held at the site.
DESIGN CONCEPT
The basic form of the building symbolizes the idea of “circle of life� in ancient American. The circulus public exhibition route also follows the ring.
The axis connecting the building with the woodhenge, starting from the main entrance.
The research greenhouse and the smaller exhibition greenhouse are set at the south-north direction.
The circulus circulation connects the seed bank, the greenhouse space and gallery space into a continuous system.

-Project Type: Residential -Location: China; -Year: Spring 2016(Vienna University of Technology) -Media: Sketchup; Vray; ArchiCAD; Adobe Photoshop; Adobe Illustrator; -Team Member: Yi Sun -Jobs involved: Concept design; Drew plans & sections; Rendering;
The design intention is to explore an organic form that
derives from nature and develop it into a new dwelling form which enables people to get closer to nature. Also, the dwelling provides more opportunities for people to communicate and improve the neighborhood relationship in a modern city through the interior space. The design tries to balance and combine people’s desire for natural outdoor space and the requirements of modern lifestyle in the city. Terrace demonstrates the protection and utilization of the original natural form. Without destroying the nature, the dwelling is designed in harmony with the environment. This design is the application of the terrace form in dwelling.
In this design, the central space serves as a public space, which promotes communication between residents and provides more possibilities for people’s spontaneous activities. The outward side of the living building enables people to enjoy the breath of nature, and the inward side enables people to enjoy the lively breath of social life.
BENEFITS OF DWELLING WITH TERRACE:
With the terrace form, the building gets more sunlight. Each house has an open terrace, where people could get closer to nature. Plants grown on terrace will bring people’s life the breath of nature; Buildings with the terrace form reduce congestion in crowded cities from the visual perspective;

IMAGES OF THE MICROSCOPIC CELL SYSTEM
DESIGN CONCEPT
The design begins with the study of the microscop-
ic cell system. The design concept emerged from the human bone structure. The bone surface bridge with each other to form this kind of structure. For this museum design, we imitate the bone structure. The columns are the main vertical supporting structure in which functions could be placed. The interior space is organized in the void space outside the columns which could be reconfigured in the future. The void space could be freely organized even if it no longer functions as a museum in the future.
CONCEPT STUDY MODELS
IMITATION OF THE HUMAN BONE STRUCTURE
The form of this building imitates the bone struc-
ture. The rest void space could be used for the different functions. Columns of different sizes have different usages. The big columns could be the main supporting structures and functions could be placed inside. The vertical transportation system could be placed in the small columns. Some of them just serve as the vertical supporter.

HIGHRISE COMPLEX IN THE COLLEGE TOWN -Project Type: Highrise complex -Location: Shenzhen, China -Year: Fall 2015 -Media: Sketchup; Vray; ArchiCAD; Adobe Photoshop; Adobe Illustrator; -Individual work -Program: Scientific Research Highrise 3000m^2; Theatre 3000m^2; Two Convention Centers 300m^2 each; Exhibition Hall: 1000m^2
The main design intentions are to balance the new con-
struction with the established surroundings. The aims are to contribute to the existing fabric of the site and to enhance the campus life. Besides meeting the essential functions of high-rise complex, the design also tries to provide possibilities for spontaneous activities of people on campus. The site locates on the center of the Shenzhen university town. There are the teaching area of the Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School and Tsinghua University Shenzhen Graduate School nearby. The original site condition is the unused lawn which needed to be well designed and developed.

3 4 02.
01.
The site locates in the center of the University Town presenting a typical rural landscape among many recently constructed campus buildings. It’s the central space in campus town where students usually gather for leisure time.
As a triangle site, three ma different areas of the campus signed to connect different p
ain parts of the site connect s town. A rambling axis is departs of the site in sequence.
03.
For the design, the rambling axis connects several function programs of the building complex into a continuous system.
DESIGN STRATEGIES: PRESERVE THE TOPOGRAPHY & CREATE CIRCULATION SYSTEM The original site is a slope. People rest and have fun on the green space. The design aims to preserve the unique topography and activities on the site. The design transforms the two-dimensional axis into three-dimensional form which corresponds to the site topography. Also, the building density is minimized to preserve the original site condition. Therefore, space of related functions are placed underground. Two circulation systems are designed. Along with the topography, a rambling circulation system connecting different functions is created, which also serves as public space for people. Moreover, a more efficient circulation system is designed which leads people to specific functions directly.

-Project Type: Museum -Location: Shenzhen, China -Year: Fall 2014ďźˆShenzhen University -Media: Sketchup; Vray; AutoCAD; Adobe Photoshop; Adobe Illustrator; -Individual Work
The site is the critical point of the university
linking different parts of the college. It is a perfect location for students to gather and where activities could be held. But now the site is not well designed, students still always walk across the site because it connects the dormitory and the teaching buildings despite its current bad situation. The design aims to preserve the route which the students frequently used and to create a historical museum which could activate the space. Exhibition, gathering area, cafe are included to activate this central place in campus.
TEACHING AREA
EASTERN PART OF SCHOOL WESTERN PART OF SCHOOL
SITE LOCATION
DORMITORY AREA
Original route from dormitory to teaching buildings: flat but circuitous.
Shortcut from dormitory to teaching buildings: short but muddy.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS: 1. The site is the crux of the university linking the teaching area at north, the dormitory area at the south, the western and the eastern part of the school. It is a perfect location for students to gather where activities could be held. But now the site is still not widely used, covered by mud. 2. One important feature on the site is that students always walk across the site because it is a shortcut from dormitory to the teaching buildings despite the current bad situation. Although the site has an altitude difference, students still prefer crossing the muddy slope. DESIGN CONCEPT: Preserve and optimize the route which students walk across. Preserve the necessary use of the site but not eliminating it. The path naturally divides the building into two parts: Permanent exhibition and temporary exhibition. At the same time, by placing the inner circulation system connecting two pieces in the middle, students on the route could interact with the visitors inside the museum, which can vitalize the activities inside the museum at the same time.

Combined
1.The basic form corresponds to the site.
2.Preserve the route which students walk across.
3.Bigger permanent exhibition block is required.
4. The form emphasizes the central area.
5. A public overhang space is created.
6. The central space gets bigger.
7.Circulation system in the middle connects two parts.
8.Deal with the altitude difference; create a staircase for resting.
9.Students could cross to these areas.
10. Both the circulation indoor and outdoor are placed in the middle.
11. Students could also go up to the roof.
12.Based on the functions, enhance the integrity of the form.

06. SHAPE AND SPACE Individual design DESIGN PURPOSE: The purpose of this design is to explore the shape and the space, with only the designers’ sensitivity and feeling to the space. In this design, two forms of basic block-cube and cylinder are used to shape unique space. (The design is without detailed architecture programs). DESIGN STRATEGY: Insert two main curve walls into a cube that has different contour lines. Space surrounded by the curve walls serves as the main space while the surrounding space serves as the connecting space.
MAIN SPACE CONNECTING SPACE
The darker area represents the main space; The lighter area represents the connecting space;

PERSPECTIVE B
07. BOUNDARYLESS Individual design DESIGN CONCEPT: There is a scene that appears in my dream for many times: I am in a mysterious low gravity world where everything is surrounded by clouds. Everything around me is soft without firm boundaries where I can jump very gently without spending many efforts and enjoy the feeling of weightlessness. I can push the cloud and fog around to interact with the space around me. The design aims to imitate this scene with a special material-the soft net, to shape and weave the space based on the nature of the material.
MATERIAL SELECTION: The soft net with strong plasticity can easily be shaped and imitate the scene which is full of cloud. The material is a soft touch and can easily imitate the world with small gravity.
THREE BASIC SHAPING METHODS: 1. TWIST 2. STRETCH
3. PASTE
BEHAVIORS AND FEELING: What will people who are accustomed to living in a world with hard boundaries feel and behave once they get into a space shaped by the soft and elastic net? How their body could interact with it? People are free to bounce and they can climb on the vertical interface. Their body could hardly be stable due to the movement of other people around. People in this space can have peculiar experience, including looking through the net that might have endless depth.
