Manifesto For me, Architecture is a heritage of culture and spirit. Traditional Chinese architecture was designed and build by craftsmen. Handmade means tiring, slow, and stubborn. However behind these, it means focusing on skills and technics, the pursuing for perfection. And the experience summarized by long-time practice, which emphasizes on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle and quality of dwelling space. I do not believe architecture could save the world, however it makes it better. I might not be able to create something special, but I am able to heritage something I believe its worthy to do so. I want to keep those we cherish most and proud of most. Rather than talking about the doctrine of form and aesthetics. Focusing on scale, materials, and space. Researching on the behavior of architecture user. Sheltering, accommodating and inspiring the occupants.

PUBLIC APPERANCES { From Spaceinvader to Courthouse } Time: 2016 Dseign Studio Collaborator: Mohammad Soleimanifeijani, Yasamin Fathi Location: Los Angeles, United States Instructor: Tom Wiscombe

Rendering

A city is folded in the container and reflects a new type of interiority in which the user can't really define the elements of conventional interior space. The idea was to create strong figurative objects from space invaders and boolean them into architecture mass. The project aims to disorient the sense of scale by having the figure of a toy and the scale of a building. Study Models

EXACT FORM Time: 2016 Visual Study-Cocurriculum for Previous Design Studio Instructor: Alejandro Alcala

Rendering

This seminar is a cocurriculum of the previous studio, it explored a series of operations to create strong figurative objects, witch in return helped with the form finding process of the previous studio. Rather than using keyshot as a render software, this seminar explored the possibility of using it as design software. By assigning reflecting materials to the objects and projecting different figure on the object, we can have differert shadows. And we can articulate the object by tracing the shadows and create another reading of the mass.

Photovoltaic Glass

PROS - Can be used in sun-facing facades or roofs - Suitable for movable louvres - Can generate electricity - Serve as solar shading for rooms behind them - Decarative - Environmentally friendly material CONS - Requires proper maintainance - High cost - low tensile strength

Insulating Glass PROS - The most energy efficient glass - Low u-value - High performance when used in combination with fiberglass

frame

- Safe - Extremely durable - Heavy weight makes it a stronger and longer lasting window CONS - weigh more than other glass - High cost

Aluminum Mullion

PROS - No rust - Very strong - Light weight - Impact resistant - Can be molded and shaped with relative ease - Cheap and abundant resource CONS - Requires proper maintenance and watertight frame

Reinforced Concrete Wall PROS - Good fire resistance - Versatile in form and shape - Different finishes are possible - Very durable and strong - Reduces vibration and sound transfer - Not likely to erode and decay overtime - Inexpensive CONS - Cracks may develop overtime due to shrinkage and loads - Limited recyclability

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Cladding PROS - Long span is possible - Clean, bright, and smooth surfaces - High durability and flexibility - Minor damages can be repaired easily - Fire resistance - Can be clean easily and will not corrode or rust - Strong scratch resistance CONS - May diminish overtime allowing moisture in - May have toxic components - Heat deflection

Project Material Selection Description:

1. Photovoltaic glass and insulating glass would be the main material for glazing. These two kinds of material can provide energy-saving and safety as well as fulfill the aesth 2. Aluminum would be used for unitization of the facade system. Its light weight, strong property and durability make it an ideal material when under tight budget. 3. Reinforced concrete is mainly used for interior construction. Concrete is an ideal material for fire proofing and flexible shaping. 4. GFRC works as one of the main rain screen materials. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatively cheap, widely available; it also allows for big sheets and glossy finish.

https://youtu.be/qIVf07HuHm0 This studio builds on the idea of ghostly characteristics, with a specific interest in moving beyond the seductive nature of the image toward a more physical and teconic outcome. Increasingly skeptical of the seductive image as an architectural outcome, but admittedly enamored with them as a place to begin and as a thing to interrogate, this studio with them as a place to begin and as a thing to interrogate, this studio is charged with giving physicality to the idea by dealing directly with a set of key characteristics.

PACKED INSIDE A BUILDING { Sectional Space\ Sectional Object } Time: 2017 Graduation Thesis Location: Shenzhen, China Instructor: Andrew Zago

1-1 Section

In architecture, a proven strategy for uncoupling spatial effects from sculptural presence is to frame a sculptural object within a closely fitted enclosure. Like the musical instrument case, this sectional object approach raises questions regarding the degree of expression for the object, and the degree of fit for the enclosure. For example: there are music case that is just a simple rectangle box, and there are also boxes that just resembles the shape of the instrument. And there are other cases in between. This kind of in between relationship that neither total difference nor total resemblance of the enclosure and the object is the most important issue in my thesis. When the object and the case become as big as the scale of a building, the most important space becomes the sectional space.

The assignment is to design tower structures, facade geometries and panelization using parametric design tools. The goal is to explore techniques and try to generate interesting structure geometries, and facade geometries (more important to be complex and interesting than realistical). Pursuing the complexity while avoiding simple chaos or singularity by bringing enough articulation.
