Hello, Welcome to my land of architecture.

My journey in design will be represented in six of my student works and some other personal art works, which will showcase my interest in variable design categories out of scalelessness.

This project is to create a new learning complex, a sports centre and a general admin for University high school, which was located at the intersection of Royal Parade and Story Street, Parkville.

Individual work University of Melbourne Date: Semester 2, 2018 Subject: Studio Fire Mentor: Matthieu Bégoghina

As the University Hign school are mostly composed of building with rigid plans and highly restricted circulation and limited outdoor activity space, so it couldn’t fit on the new form of ‘student-centred’ pedagogy. Hence I designed the reshaping school as an environment with different possibilities that enables students to find their own way of constructing individual knowledge into a more sufficient level, which simultaneously helps students to transit from high school to university study well.

The Reshaping School is designed to create an envrionment with different possibilieties that allows students to find their Individual way of self-learning.

Thus, to help students achieve the transition from High School to University even to the Society.

02 STUDL E Y B OAT HOUSE The proposed project is a replacement of the current boathouse located at Studley Park, along with the Yarra Bend. The design was inspired by Louis Kahn and Frank Gehry, which is designed as a city escape that allows people spending time for leisure, dinner and formal event.

Individual work University of Melbourne Date: Semester 2, 2017 Mentor: Heather Day Mitcheltree Subject: Studio Water

This project includes a series of space Formal dining out, café, kiosk and boat house are all included in the brief intended to create a recreational space in the park. This site embraces a rich landscape with abundant vegetation and animals, while the existing boathouse is isolated from the significant landscape.

In order to improve this situation, a concept of “blurry the boundary between architecture and nature” is promoted.

The majority of the newly proposed boathouse is buried under the ground. No striking outline will be identified as it is surrounded by landscape and “grows” from the earth. Various types of openings are designed to bring different lighting effects in spaces, creating interesting changeable atmospheres.

03 CONSTRUCTION DESIGN This sectional structural practice on part of the Elizabeth Blackburn School of Science(EBSS) on Story Street by Clarke Hopkins Clarke Architects shows a series of study in construction methodologies, processes and material applied by real-world educational building.

Individual Work University of Melbourne Date: Semester 1, 2018 Mentor: Evelyn Chin, Blair Gadiner Subject: Construction Design

The reflection on this subject is essentially illustrated on an axonometric drawing & a 1:20 physical model, the purpose and function for each building element and chronology of construction were detailly studied, examined and analysed in terms of their relation to the design intention and feasibility. The model acts a learning tool that recurs the step-by-step construction methodologies from foundation to the finishing details, bringing a hands-on real-world construction communication and design strategies back on school.

04 CONSTRUCTION ANALYSIS The construction of this ‘Mt Marta House’ is divided into 12 stages in this subject study.

The house was studied and documented by drawing a series of plan and section by each stage.

Individual Work University of Melbourne Date: Semester 1, 2017 Mentor: Jim Bruand Subject: Construction Analysis

STAGE 12: FINAL FINISHES

This ocean-nearby house built by Pleysier Perkin Architects is outlined from excavation to final finishes. Each stage of construction was documented by examining photo records and working drawings. This individual work makes me explore the relationship among building elements, temporary structure, equipment and labour, which provided me with an elevated insight towards private residential projects.

This project is based on a newly constructive term Nanotourism, which shows a critique to the current downsides of conventional tourism, and is redefined as a participatory, locally oriented bottom-up alternative.

Li‘u i ka pa‘akai in Hawaiian means well-seasoned and preserved in salt which speaks of how ancestral knowledge is preserved in everything we see and do and sometimes we just need to brush off the salt to tap into our ability to understand the past and co-create new knowledge for the future.

The Preserved in Salt project proposes a new method of salt production in Kaka’ako as a way to create meaningful connections, experiences, and investments to people, place, and culture. This process provides opportunities to build upon ancestral knowledge and increase community connections and capacity.

Why salt?

Kaka‘ako in Honolulu was once a part of an abundant coastal landscape with productive salt and fish ponds. The natives practised traditional methods of fishing as well as hand-harvested salt production. Salt harvesting took place in specially maintained evaporation ponds.

Today, Kaka’ako has entered into a transition that co-exists a bunch of mixed features in rich and poor, industrial and artistic, fancy and dirty on both culture and people in this area. And salt can help build the new identity of this area.

The more effort and time you will invest, more salt you will get in different state.

Phalanx allows people to activate a defensive mechanism when facing extreme emotions of discomfort, violation and attack. In most of the time, it acts in a relaxing mode. While space is intruded, it stands out. These kinetic responses are accomplished by spikes falling and striking out. In the large aid of digital modelling and fabrication, spikes with dense pattern could suit the different part of the body and accommodate different needs of the spike‘s intensity. This wearable structure poses an idea of second skin that could manipulate individual boundary and space.

EXPLORATION OF HUMAN BODY

Life drawing is always the best way of exploring the human body and moves for me, it provides me with a direct insight and deepens the sensation towards the relationship between human and space.

CONCEPTUAL MODEL

C OL L AG E S

Besides designing upon those digital programmes, I also enjoy translating my ideas into collages, physical models and free-hand sketches. These pieces are not only the extension of my architectural study, but act more like a sum of my daily thinking and inspiration which illustrate a process of how my design has been shaped and fashioned.
