Statement LiSC is an innovative housing proposal that utilizes the concept of shared economy. It introduces a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable community based on the benefits of sharing in order to address the Hong Kong housing crisis. Rather than leaving living units largely unutilized throughout the day, the idea of sharing, thus renting only what is needed at the time of use, makes higher quality living affordable again for middle and lower classes. The increase in efficiency allows for amenities that are usually associated with more luxurious apartment complexes, such as roof gardens, spas, sport facilities and a farmers market on the ground floor, among many others. The heighten density and sharing interactions will lead to a closer and more diverse community with many benefits to social interaction and the quality of human life.

Statement The conpt of this natatorium is inspired by the relationsip of the swimmer and the water when they are using the pool. Water splashes are immediate results the interaction between human and water. The concept is derived from the magnitude and frequency of the water splashes. The sculpture then becomes the core of the design. The folded structure and roof enable us the avoid having any vertical obstruction and also supports the floor slabs. The result is an elegant elemnt that connects different pools in the natatorium.

FOLDED SPLASH

The folded glass wall as an extension of the concrete folded roof. It is supported by the roof, ground and glass fins.

The lift shaft is a stand alone structure from lower ground and stabled by floor slabs.

The two steel columns supports the main central folding structure at the back, connecting to the retaining wall.

The folded roof is supported by the main folding structure and the ground. The folds provide adequate structural support to long span.

The concrete main folded structure at the center of the natatorium is supported by the cantilevered steel columns at the back and front. Its folds provide self stabilities and also support the floor slabs. The two steel columns at the fron support the central folding structure to the G/F.

Concrete slab that does not sit on groun is supported by the central folding structure. Both diving pool and recreation pool sit on ground.

Floor slab is supported by the central folding structure and the 3 sided retaining walls.

Both lab pool and floor slab at -2/F sit on the ground. The four sides os the wall are all retaining walls.

Statement Inspired by the magnificent view of the site, the Lincoln Park Library is designed to connect with nature and the environment on the journey of book hunting. Visitors will explore the program space, open space and the relationship between them inside the building. To ignite curiosity in reading, book hunting offers a more aggressive library experience than just looking for books. The elegant changes in levels between circles lead visitors going from one book forest to another. This also brings the concepts of safari, forests, and landscapes with a topographic change.

less of a grid inside the parks. Lincoln Park is the smallest among the three main parks in San Francisco, and accessibility is also less competitive. Unlike the Presidio with its own park shuttle, on the roads running throughout Golden Gate Park, Lincoln Park has only one bus stop in the middle of the park at the cafĂŠ. Only Legion of Honor are Cafefound near the site with many walking paths for two driveways visitors to enjoy the environment on foot.

Legion of Honor Cafe

Visitors are encouraged to drive to the golf course entrance or the cafĂŠ, and walk to desired spots. Biking is welcomed to enjoy the magnificent view.

01 Concept Diagram 02 Circle No sharp angle space is induced throughout the library experience, curve is adopted to harmonize with nature. Circle is one of the most organized and expect curvilinear shape we encounter in the geometric world. 03 Partitioning The exterior wall is also the interior wall. The curvilinear wall acts as separation between programmes and exterior/interior space. Each circle houses an individual programme. 04 Topography Except for minor excavation to ensure flat ground can be used for the programmes, the building works the site topography. The space descends with the natural topography as we walk. Spaces are connected with stairs and ramps complying with ADA requirements.

Statement This project lets us have a deep understanding of construction details through facade design. I chose a new material biological concrete, as the main inspiration and material for this facade. This growing material will be made into pre-casted panels for on site construction. While focusing on the facade only, a set of construction drawings are provided give a practical look into the making of the design.

Statement Considering the spatial consequences of an exotic animal (Dumbo Octopus), I attempted to mimic elements of transformation in each phase of its process in growth, reproduction, movement and surviving mechanisms in both static and motion graphical representations.

All layers on... When all layers are turned on, too much information is being conveyed at the same time, which makes the diagram too crowded for receiving information. The overwhelming information covers up the interrelationship of specific diagrams. However, in this diagram, we can clearly distinguish between the two color tones used â&#x20AC;&#x201C; red-orange and blue. We can thus compare which form of the diagram derived from the 3D model (blue) and which are originally inspired by the organism.

Senarios 01 Predation During predation, dumbo octopuses uses their bioluminescence to attract and confuse the target, in concert with their sharp barbs and sudden changes of speed to catch their food. 02 Learn to swim Octopuses needs to grow to a certain level to become better swimmera because of all the relative current in the water compared to their size. Not many octopuses can survive before they become good swimmers. Most of them would be eaten by other sea animals. 03 Flee from predators Similar to predation, octopusesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; self-luminance and speed of movement play an important role in fleeing from other predators. Instead of using their â&#x20AC;&#x153;earâ&#x20AC;? to swim, using their arms with umbrella

Growth Sequence The animation sums up both the growth sequence of a dumbo octopus as well as the learning sequence with all the objects created throughout the semester. The images show the story board of the sequence. A growing sequence of the blended diagram as a metaphor of the growth of the newborn begins the story. Some of them meet, compare, mate and reproduce through out the entire life time. It ends with a juxtaposition of the grown and the young octopuses remine us of the continuing life cycle.
