HONEYBOMB
Individual work
Time: May ,2014
The project is about how nature element affects people's activities space and how nature can be used in interior architecture. I have created a reading area for peolple where nature is used as a healing aid and as part of the design. As we know the city strength is often achieved at the expense of a destruction of meaningful buildings.So at first ,I have done some investigation and research turns out that the bookstore is one of representative disappeared building.Then i want to development a new style of reading area without location limited.In the end ,base on the honey bomb structure the reading area can place in bus station, shoppingmall , park.etc
New concept of reading area
This project is about how the environment, especially nature, affects mental well-being. I have been working on combining nature and interior architecture and blurring the lines between the inside and outside. The focus is on the urban residents as a unit and how these people can be helped to connect, heal and thinking back on happiness time.

Significant Others The theme for the reading area is Flexible.The target demographics are from age 2 to 60 people who is looking forward leisure time.They love to spend time with their significant other in a slow paste,and they cherish every single moment they spend with their companions.
Form Studies The forms are inspired by the common element of life.

2 ç‹Ź Alone Individual work
Time: February ,2013
In chinese word "Alone" have a lot of composition like the root which i mean is that different combin like the meaning of Lonely ,Independent ,solo.Anyway this is the state of nowadays people always living their small circle with any communication.Fighting alone. So base on these situation i am thinking of build a house to reflection this pathological.Like an empty room without no one in it also in the meantime sky is white with a blanket of snow on the ground.It can give us a sense of despair.Through the house i want to tell peolple it's very cool to be lone wolf but at the end we always want to have an accompany.
KEY MOMENT The house i was set up as a personal office space. People stay in this room can image every frustrated moment and recall the stuggle emotion.I want to show the ALONE meaning about you can clam down and left troubles behind.
INDOOR SET In the age of technology,people stil have the requirement ,because we know it can bring convenience to our lives.Stay in the ALONE space can offer a Zen's world and have the connection with nature.

ZHEJIANG FOLK DWELLING As we become more nomadic and less structred in our lifestyles we are blurring the barriers between human and landscape.This project aim to seek to explore the what it means to strip the shelter down to the basics of programmed space. Hugely popular mass-market housing programs such as project or tract housing largely fail to meet the desires of an emerging design savy and mobil market.
ZHEJIANG FOLK DWELLING

The position drill is a power dril for ever yone.As par t of a User Oriented Design core,the position drill sets out to solve some of the challenges with todays drills. User research can represent in this project. Elite usersperson whom have reduced abilities to perform certain tasks with existing productsgives an understanding of the way these products should be designed.

Final Design
? 1. 2. 3. 4. Though these objects ,it was choosen the electric drill as the final concept
Is the design easy to use? Does it contain auxiliary functions? Does it contain independent components? May it be replaced if broken?
Sketch while brain storoming,the founding idea emerged from a cute cuttlefish.This marine biology and the succeeding ideas defined my comcept.
MOCKUP Having sketched out a shape I was happy with,then I decided to use 3D Printers as the mockup order to let the users get an approximate impression of the product.
Concept development
Trandional drill have the problem about how to fixed nail into wall, besides people used to rely on cross line to ensur the position which was very difficult
With the infrared ray helping ,the position drill have more effective and energy saving.
Final Design
Hold for 10 sec then the light will shooting
