Competition | Facade Design I participated in both rounds of the design process and was responsible for the architectural facade design in the second round. At the same time, I designed several versions of the bridge nearby.

Detail Design | Facade Design, Plan Design
I did the facade design of two apartment buildings, the lobby design, and the layout of the floor plans. The project went through several rounds of facade refinement and changes

System Structure
I designed a simple layout form evaluation system for the business park project near the airport.
The purpose is to select a few superior schemes from the many design layout options based on some objective indicators.
Paramatric
Optimized Spacial outline
Based on a series of literature reviews, I have roughly summarized the superior energy consumption layout for office floor plans in Shanghai City.
1. Large length to width ratio
2. Single floor area is between 1500 to 2500 square meters (which can be subdivided into units of 500 square meters).
3. The south side is 1.56 times the size of the north side, and the west side is 1.18 times the size of the east side.
4. Buildings with a shallow depth and a linear layout facing south.
Indicator Selection
Several simple indicators such as floor efficiency, daylighting, landscape layout, view facing, and noise impact were selected as criteria for screening. Through calculations with Grasshopper, the best and worst options for each indicator were determined
Result
This divergent scheme achieved the top scores in three optimal indicators and was also the best-performing plan. This plan was ultimately selected as the final scheme for further development.
System Structure
My team and I are attempting to streamline the process of reading basic information, automating design based on this information (such as land parcel massing, residential layout, road and landscape generation), and automatically generating basic diagrams (such as total floor area, floor area ratio, height restrictions, and sunlight exposure).
Design information from architecture and planning is transformed from f lat drawings into a data-structured flow of information, allowing information to be shared within the team through standard interfaces.
Simplifying the process from design intent to graphic expression, increasing the number of iterations from overall design to detail, and enhancing the overall completeness and refinement of the design.
Standardize Data Format
Organizing the CAD drawings provided by the client, we unify the information input within the team to facilitate the sharing of information input in the later stages, ensuring that the information provided by the client is fully integrated into the subsequent design process
Urban Design
Generate and adjust the landscape, roads, residential volume, and land parcel massing based on design requirements and plot dimensions.
Output
Currently, in addition to the basic information analysis diagrams of the land parcel, we can also quickly output vector outlines of the site and buildings with color. This facilitates the production and updating of subsequent renderings.
