[TRANSFORMABLE SPACE] MUSICAL INSTRUMENT COLLECTION DESIGN
2016 SUMMER STUDIO, GSAPP, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Critic: Mark Rakatansky Individual Work The theme of the studio was called “Metamorphic” and my research object was musical instrument. The changes of every element of a guitar contribute to the change of the sound of the instrument, which could be translated to architectural language that the transformation between walls, floors, and exhibition furniture contributes to the sequence of space, and this design principle was applied to the entire building at different levels of scale, associated with curating strategies, creating transformable spaces for the display of musical instruments.

[LINK 52]
ENTRANCE TO HUDSON RIVER PARK 2016 FALL STUDIO, GSAPP, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Architecture Critics: Richar Plunz,Tyler Silvestro Engineering Critics : Patricia Culligan, Amy Motzny, Robert Elliott Team Members: Ruosen Du As Architect Mycheal Crafton, Andre Fuqua As Engineers Link 52 is an urban landscape that aims to facilitate cultural and ecological exchange. It aims to establish a west side junction between the cityscape and Hudson River. As a physical entrance to Hudson River Park from the High Line and West Side highway, it also stands as a landmark for a more sustainable future along West Street. Through exploration of shoreline edge conditions and land water interactions, Link 52 serves as a hub for ecological revival, improving water quality in the Hudson River Estuary and restoring native plant species. Too, the site exists as a public space for leisure and activity and while promoting human interaction with the Hudson River

City is a dynamic environment where everything is changing, people, activities and buildings. Normal metabolic changes is the base of the stability of the city.

[Archi-City] SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 2014 SPRING STUDIO, GUANGZHOU Critic: Ruifeng Tian Team Member: Ying Ding The school of architecture is the place where students spend most of their time in, just likes a micro city, studying, meeting, and even sleeping, we wish for a place that can make us feel at home. So I extract elements from real cities, interpret them in a single building, producing spaces in different hierarchy, whatever would you like to do, you could find the right place.
