AS AN ACCOMPLISHED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER

I have dedicated my career to crafting designs that prioritize meticulous attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials in order to achieve a harmonious balance of design elements. With over five years of experience in the industry, I possess a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of design and construction.

My passion for architecture was ignited when I read an article by Kengo Kuma, whose philosophy of creating architecture that is both visually appealing and functional resonated deeply with me. In order to fully comprehend his words, I immersed myself in the art of sushi-making, spending two years learning from a Japanese sushi chef with 40 years of experience. Through this experience, I developed an eye for detail and an artistic sensibility that I now bring to my design work.

WABASH TOWN CENTER

Studio Architect l Associate

KPNARCHITECTS, llc 2017 - Present

Brief Description of Project

Size : 25+ Acre

Design Start : 2021

Constructions Start : 2023

Setting : Mixed -use, Residential

The 25+ acre site is located across Wabash Avenue from the Reisterstown Transit Station. There is a pedestrian bridge that connects this site to the station. The project is conceived as a compact, transit-oriented development that will maximize access to the MTA Reisterstown Plaza Metro stop. Wabash Town Center will incorporate various sustainable design elements to minimize negative environmental impact through skillful, sensitive design. The master plan development schedule is extended over 4 phases. Each phase develops one of the quadrants of the site. Phase 1 is located on the location of the 2 existing surface parking lots located along Wabash Avenue across from the metro train station and bus stop. The proposed plan is to divide Phase 1 into two Sub-Phases 1A and 1B. Phase 1A located in TOD 4 will be built first, up to an allowable height of 100’. Phase 1B located in TOD 3 will follow, and will be built up to the allowable height of 60’.

Responsibility

Develop schematic design drawings for residential, mixed-use, and commercial buildings at different phases of this project. Prepare graphic materials and designs for studies and/or presentations to the client. Develop design concepts, narratives, Revit models, 3D renderings, plans, sections, exterior elevations, and virtual reality presentations, as necessary, to effectively convey the design intent to clients.

PROPOSED PROGRAM

The comprehensive redevelopment of this Transit Oriented Development (TOD) site will be completed in phases.

Phase 1A: 272 apartment units, 7 retail spaces (37,287 SF), 24,970 SF of office and 555 parking spaces.

Phase 1B: 112 apartment units, 7 retail spaces (28,210 SF), 21,503 SF of office and 354 parking spaces.

Phase 2A: Intergenerational townhouses – 40 units with a community center and 43 offstreet parking spaces

Phase 2B: 42 units senior living apartments, 163 off-street parking spaces and common area. This common area may include a bistro, which is primarily for the use of the tenants.

Phase 3: Developing the natural site along the south east edge of the site adjacent to the Social Security Campus would be Phase 3 or the Arts and Green Phase in this community.

Phase 4: Medical and Health Care hub including offices, urgent care, health and fitness, nursing home/rehabilitation center and accessory retail. The total number of parking spaces is to be determined.

The building, each in Phase 1A and 1B are programmed as mixed use. They include retail, parking, offices and market rate apartments. Both buildings will be joined at the ground level to maximize the need for additional parking.

Two buildings, Phase 1A and 1B, will be constructed in the highest-density portion of the site and are programmed as mixed use. These properties include retail, parking, offices and market rate apartments. (Please see plan and Section) These buildings, with a total of apartment units, are the heart and anchor of the new community and are designed to take full advantage of the transit access.

These properties create the density to support retail and amenities - and a center point for the neighborhood as a whole.

The Market data indicate there is a high-demand, for quality, apartment living with good transit (and highway) access in this portion of Baltimore City and County. Units will be highly contemporary in design, capable of supporting the latest in tech accommodating the mixed of transit-based AND work-from-home lifestyles that are in demand in the post-COVID era.

Designed around the concepts developed by Carehous (carehous.net), this building will be housing for a senior population with living units for their caregivers. Carehaus’s work is founded on the belief that older adults, disabled people, and those who care for them are integral to the well-being of these senior communities. Communal spaces will be designed to encourage interaction between seniors and their caregivers through various programs.

This phase proposes 42 units of senior (age-restricted) multi-family housing units, 163 offstreet parking spaces and accessory common areas including a small bistro. The non-residential uses are intended for primary use by the residents.

CHICAGO OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL CENTER

The Barack Obama Foundation recently issued an RFP proposing a new standard for Presidential Libraries. Differentiating itself from other Presidential Libraries, I design will create an innovative place of engagement and vibrant community hub.

The building will be multi-level new construction not to exceed 70,000SF. The site will also include significant public space connections to public transportation and commu nity thoroughfares.

SUSTAINABILITY : DAY LIGHTING

DESIGN CONCEPTS BUILDING STRUCTURE

The different sizes of rectangles and squares cavities on the walkways are designed to create different lighting effects during different times of the day. At day time, the sun will create skylights down into the parking garage. At night, the lights in the parking garage will illuminate the walkways from below.

The glass and steel are the predominant materials of the projects and the underground parking are complemented with concrete and steel structure.The structure of underground parking garage is directly related to the design of the aboveground walkways. The “Y” columns support are made with steel and concrete.

PANORAMIC VIEWS

At the top of the Museum sits the Sky Room

The Museum’s Sky Room, located at the highest point, provides an opportunity for visitors to contemplate while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Michigan towards the East, downtown Chicago’s towering skyscrapers in the North, and the West and South sides of Chicago.

This library serves as a bridge of education to business and social interaction; and potentially acts as a model that not only reshapes the site and surrounding neighborhood, but also the concept of what a Presidential Library can be in the future.

CAFETERIA AREA

NATURAL LIGHT CREATES SPACES.

Natural light creates a connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The library’s interior space has been meticulously crafted with a stepped design that progressively widens the view as one ascends the floors, facilitating an interactive relationship between individuals and the interplay of space, light, and surrounding scenery.

The diamond-shaped roof design of the main library building not only allows natural light to illuminate the interior space but also offers a magnificent view of Jackson Park’s picturesque scenery.

The new Museum building in the South Side will serve as a significant landmark, inviting visitors to Jackson Park and highlighting the Center as a historical civic hub. The design of the Museum embodies the concept of upward movement from the grassroots.

The forthcoming Chicago Public Library branch will present interactive digital media zones and child-friendly amenities, informative and vocational resources for adults, and a reading room open for everyone to relish. This exceptional collaboration is a pioneer in its category and will furnish almost all residents of the South Side with nearby public library access, with a walking distance.

The courtyard, in the center of a building, allows natural light to flow into the surrounding interior spaces, creating a brighter and more inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the design of the courtyard can provide a visual and physical connection between different levels or sections of the building, encouraging exploration and movement throughout the space. This dynamic and interconnected layout can create a more engaging and lively environment for visitors.

Lianjian is a suburban county on the eastern coast of Fujian province, China. Due to its abundant amount of wet land resources in the Ming Jing River, Liangjian is flourished with rich fish resources. Not only does this contribute to economic growth, it further allows industries to develop and create more employment opportunities. And in 2009, I participated in the “LianJiang sales Department Overall Design and Planning”.

FURNITURE DESIGN

Architecture Grad Studio 5

Through a series of hands-on technical exercises and material investigations, I chose cardboard as my primary design material in my furniture design course, and I was excited to explore its endless possibilities. Cardboard is an incredibly versatile material that is widely used in various fields. Its sustainability and ease of processing made it a preferred material for many industries. In addition, the unique honeycomb geometry structure of cardboard provided incredible strength and flexibility for furniture design. I utilized computer 3D modeling and laser cutting to achieve my design concept.

TOOLS, MATERIALS, AND TECHNIQUES

Laser cutting technology is a powerful tool that has revolutionized the way architects and designers create physical models, mock-ups, and prototypes. By using computer-aided design software (CAD), architects can create precise 2D and 3D drawings that can be easily translated into laser cutter-readable files. These files can then be used to create intricate and detailed physical models and prototypes using a laser cutter. Laser cutters use a high-powered laser beam to cut, etch, or engrave a wide variety of materials such as wood, plastic, metal, and even stone. One of the main benefits of laser cutting technology is its ability to create extremely intricate and precise designs with ease.

I was able to create complex geometric patterns, intricate textures, and detailed engraving with the laser cutter, which would have been difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional methods. This allowed me to quickly and accurately create a series of physical models of my furniture designs.

Undergraduate Art Studio 2007

During my four-year college experience, I took professional sketching courses to enhance my ability to represent three-dimensional space through techniques like sketching plaster casts or live models. These courses helped me refine my hand-drawing skills.

SKETCHING IS A VISUAL ART

During my graduate studies in architecture, I persisted in practicing sketching. By portraying architecture and landscapes, I consistently enhanced my comprehension of objects, space, and light. Sketching also enabled me to further cultivate my proficiency in visual representation, thereby facilitating more effective expression of my design concepts.

In my opinion, Sketching is a visual art that can help you improve your ability to express visually. Through sketching, you can learn how to accurately observe objects and depict observed details on paper. Sketching can help you better understand three-dimensional space and represent it in your drawings. This is crucial for architecture and interior design, which involve designing and utilizing space. sketching is highly beneficial for architecture and interior design, as it can help improve hand-eye coordination, visual expression ability, spatial awareness, creativity, and drawing skills, allowing you to better express your design ideas and concepts.
