NYCHA’s developments have become both physical and social dead ends. NYCHA’s character and potential as a “social agency” has been largely unrecognized, overshadowed by its specialized housing mission. This project creates a system to encourage residents
from the public housing system to develop their entrepreneurial talents on underdeveloped land holdings by creating new affordable commercial spaces, including small-scale, innovation hubs for residents, alongside market-rate commercial spaces.

Reihaneh, Yang Li Professor: Kate Orff Concept Development, Digital Modeling, Illustration, Transportation Research Contemporary societies have become heavily dependent upon mobility for their economic growth. The future metropolis of Bordeaux is no exception. The issue of mobility has grown to be a requirement
of Bordeaux’s future metropolitan life in which the development potential increasingly relies on the quality of connections to the various public transportation networks. LANDSCAPE

Uniform Assembly
DESIGN + BUILD, FALL 2010, CHARLESTON, SC Xiaokang He + STUDIO V Detail Design, Fabrication, Build
The “Crab” screen was a project to design and build a movie screen for an event that was held at Cannon Park, Charleston. The design centered around building a portable and reusable
screen that could be moved by a trailer, which was later custom built to accompany this project. The cost of the project was minimized by using recycled materials. Joint Detail
1. Move the parts carefully from the trailer and install on site
2. Manually open the lower arm
3. Force the upper arm against the ground
4.Open the upper arm by the winch
5. AAach the screen on the structure with the bike tube
6. Fix the cable on the structure

“Transfiller” transforms a large area of underutilized space in Vinegarhill, Brooklyn while the area undergoes an urban redevelopment process. The idea of this transfiller
concept was to create a reusable device that would fill the needs of a community while the area redevelops itself.

SENSEWalk PRODUCT DESIGN, SPRING 2012, CLEMSON, SC Xiaokang He Detail Design, Digital Modeling, Competition, Animation
Sensewalk increases flexibility, convenience, and comfort of sidewalk infrastructure. Urban sidewalks have become cluttered and many sidewalks, due to limited space, are not flexible enough to readily meet the diverse needs of pedestrians. Theft, vandalism, and weather are also threats to sidewalk structures. Sensewalk combines the functions of a sidewalk into one system that addresses these problems.
