“FAUNA BARGE” Mobile Mississippi Monitoring Machine Graduate Comprehensive Studio (Individual Work | 2017 Fall) Location: Upper Mississippi River Professor: Derek Hoeferlin Software: Rhino, PS, AI
Mississippi River is one of the longest river in North American, and it is essential to human, and all kinds of species. Every year, millions of birds will use Mississippi flyway to breed. It also connects the Great Lakes Region to Gulf of Mexico, the two important fish industry. However, due to human activities, invasive species like Asian Carps, was brought to this river and now threating billions worth of fish industry. The pollution caused by humans also influence birds that are using this flyway and in the last decades over ten bird species were decreasing. This project act as a monitoring machine that documents the numbers of Asian Carps and visualized them to give the public a more straightforward awareness of the threat caused by the invasive species. The project also includes a place that allow scientists to rescue injured birds and mark birds for observation and counting. At the end of the barge is a carp restaurant that proposes multiple recipes of Asian Carps as a potential solution. The Fauna Barge is the barge-i-tecture that monitor the migration of species (birds and Asian Carps) and bring the awareness of the public to pay more attention to the environment and other species that are threating our life or being threatened by human activities. It’s an architecture for not only human beings but animals.

“BASILICA DE MARFA” Permanent Exhibit Design Graduate Optional Studio (Individual Work | 2017 Spring) Location: Marfa, Texas Professor: Stephen Leet Software: Rhino, PS, AI
For this permanent exhibit building, two artists’ works were chosen — Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt. Not only because of their success in art but also the friendship between them. The site was in Marfa TX, a true desert like place. Next to the building it Donald Judd’s two unfinished concrete building. In order to show its permanent quality, concrete was used to create a sense of monumentality. The form of the building is made of a long hall with eight individual rooms on the two side for different content of art works. The two artists’ works are exhibited in an order that visitors can see how they gradually influenced each other. Inverted arch was used to introduce diffused light into the building and won’t bring too much heat. It’s like a Basilica for art works sited in the middle of no where. It’s communicating with the surroundings.
Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out, struggling, grasping ... Stop it and just DO! -- Sol LeWitt I have seen your work I have seen your work change I have seen your work good I have seen your work -- Eva Hesse

“TURNING CORNER” New Orleans Housing Design Graduate Core Studio (Individual Work | 2016 Fall) Location: French Quarter, New Orleans Professor: Derek Hoeferlin Software: Rhino, PS, AI
In the French Quarter, everything is surprising. From the Jazz Bar to the Seafood restaurant, you can always find something fun. The tall French door and windows, the half hidden courtyard or the wild vegetation, the buildings there are never boring. Every time you turn around the corner, something different and unexpected is waiting for you. It could be happy, it could be sad, but it won’t let you regret and will always impress you. In order to make the 30 units housing project fit in this environment, how units are connected and how to form different kinds of public spaces are more important. The overall project is lifted to deal with the humid climate. Louvers are used to provide shades in hot summer but still allows ventilation. Units are connected in a sequence of solid and void rhythm to bring the excitement every time you turn.
Around any corner, there’s a promise of something daring and ideal and things are just getting going. There’s something obscenely joyful behind every door, either that or somebody crying with their head in their hands.
-- Bob Dylan “The Ghosts of New Orleans”

“CANYON VILLAGE� Urban Design and Housing Planning Undergraduate Forth Year Studio (Cooperation Work | 2015 Fall) Location: Beijing, China Team Members: Kun Yang, Xuan Yang Professor: Kexin Zhao Software: Rhino, PS, AI
Based on the current situation of Xizhimen area, we identified the public service as a combination of creative culture and commercial use. The boundary of the site was used for commercial and the inside was for the cultural center like art workshop or theater. The two functions will energize the surrounding area. A large portion of people came to this area through the underground passage way, and we connected that to our side and transformed the underground passage way into a place for street art, urban art or wall painting. Inside of the site, we put a sinked walk way and surrounded it with stores and shops, which formed a canyon for art. A large area of green land was used as buffer zone to mediate the residential area and the commercial area.

“FLOATING SHELTER� Department Building of Architecture Second Prize Winner Autodesk Revit National Sustainable Architectural Design Competition for College Students 2014
Undergraduate Third Year Studio (Individual Work | 2014 Fall) Location: Beijing, China Professor: Qiuye Jin Software: Revit, PS, AI, SketchUp
The overall form of the building is based on the Chinese Traditional roof, and adaptations are made according to the functions beneath it. Solar panels are arranged in accordance with the scale of wooden trusses, so that they can work together to provide clean energy and enough light. The introduction of solar panels provides a basic texture to the roof, which leads to the appliance of wooden trusses, and they form the complete roof surface. The open parts of the roof one the one side, help to ensure the ventilation and lighting for the courtyards under the roof, which allows the possibility of exterior activities, on the other side they also reduce the weight of the overall roof structure. In order to support the roof structure, the columns of the buildings below extended up to the roof to lead to weight of the roof structure all the way down to the earth. As an auxiliary, a series of thin pillars are surrounding the building under the big roof. They help to support the roof and also add a screen to the building to create a forest like look, which intrigues interesting spaces and activities happening.
