I believe architecture is a medium to improve social living standard. My career goal is to contribute my knowledge back to Hong Kong society to improve its social image through architecture. In my mind, social image improvement is not simply building eye-catching architecture. The most important issue is how to balance and maintain the cultural and natural environment. Architecture is not an art work or shelter. Local context is extremely important.

I choose your company to practice my architectural goal because I share same vision with the company.

I believe architecture opens up a city through new creation path. Innovative architecture establishes unique expression to a specific place. I like to travel for feeling living attitude of local people, their daily activity and how they interact with the environment harmoniously. It can explore my mind and widen my horizon in order to emerge creation. It is my faith that creative mind is developed by direct participating experiences like looking, touching, smelling and trying.

I dream to make a step forward as graduating from bachelor was only the start of my architectural design process. In order to develop my mind, I prefer to work in a real architectural firm for seeking more practices. I believe learning from professionals, discussing with like-mined colleagues and sharing ideas with different parties are the best ways to establish my profession.

The Conan Doyle Mystery Theatre Year : Design Studio Fire 2013 Site : Spencer street, Melbourne, Australia Tutors : Micheal Ong, Mikel Roman

The theatre is dedicated to the staging of murder mystery plays. It consists of a 500-seat proscenium theatre, a 250-seat blackbox theatre and a 250-seat cinema.

The idea is to create a gathering space for the community instead of only servicing audiences who buy tickets for enjoying a formal show, this theatre is designed to meet the need of the public.

BACKGROUND Creative street performance is a cultural symbol of Melbourne. It is not fixed in time, format and can be initiated unexpectedly.

SITE ANALYSIS It is an intermediate point between CBD and the train station.

The theatre introduces street performance to new comers.

INSPIRATIONS An alley beside the site presents the sense of mystery to associate with murdering. A dead body lie on the site create gap space & route.

DEVELOPMENTS Create new architectural experience. At night, glass facade performs function of spot light.

Movement of visitors inside becomes another form of entertainment.

The gateway project is an iconic development for promoting the Wyndham City. It designed to upgrade the image of city streetscape.

Our Gateway is an intermediate space that breathing in and out takes place at the same time as well as bringing a transitional experience for visitors to entry the city. The experience of breathing makes the architecture as well as the image of Wyndham City alive.

The site is divided into 3 parts. The Princes freeway was acted as the main circulation for entering the Wyedham City.

The highways are met to create an intermediate space for ‘breathe in and breathe out’.

focuses

The main of our Gateway were connection between architecture and nature, architecture as a perception of human experience and individual participation experience.

People travelling in and out are just like air breathing in and out. The Gateway develops a new discourse in architecture of the Wyndham City.

Muscle Relaxation

Concept We are interested in the principles of muscle for carrying out the contraction and relaxation as the control factor of breathing.

The wave of contraction and relaxation are studied. The exploration of breathing was shifted from human to city.

Modelling

Physical model was essential to testify reliability and practicality of the design. Throughout the process of transforming the digital model to the physical model, we faced challenges and gained experience in different stages.

We solved the connection problem by planning the ground touching points and extended the bases of our strips. In addition, voids were created to reserve space for holding the strips.

Residential Project Year : Design Studio 2012 Site : Ma Tau Wai Road,To Kwa Wan,Kowloon Tutors : Atul Kansara, Julie Mo

The project located at the old district of Hong Kong as to replace tenements. The building is designed for middle-class family with multi-functional club house, car park & shopping arcade.

The concept of TERRACE is from idea of ‘retaining’ .

Not limited to physical retaining feature, My design look deeply into spiritual ideology about the balcony exposure feature of Tong Lau.

Concept Terrace present a sense of growth,some energetic activities take place in playground and swimming pool located at the podium.

Waving provides a sense of flowing. The curve planning of shop matches with the smooth flow of visitors.

The idea of Cross comes from different directions of pedestrian flow. The cutting edge of commercial plan is a continuous linkage with surrounding shopping arcades. The shape of office floors is to build up a sense of accumulation of office workers from other office towers MTR station.

Use ceramic tubes to act as energy efficient sunshine panel to provide an aesthetic bonus. The pattern of ceramic tubes presents the idea of combining office & commercial activities.
