02 | Kaunas concert hall competition ( honorable mention ) practical work in rare architecture Mentor : Michel da Costa Goncalves | 07.2017 - 09.2017 In this competition project, I was fully in charge of the digital modelling and digital images production. I gain vaulable experience to convey the director's concept and sketches and had interest in the design of the concert hall building. The project of an undulating diaphanous skyline is conceived as a muti-scale heterogeneous whole. It is a form made of multiple spatially optimized sequences united by a delicate wooden lattice forming its mutidimensional envelope.

03 | residential projects ( stage 2) & furniture practical work in rare/droo architecture Mentor : Michel da Costa Goncalves | 07.2017 - 01.2018 During part 1 year-out I also worked in a wide range of small-scale residential projects in planning application stages. The Bobigny ( left ) project is an extension of the existing residential house in the suburban of Paris and I worked mainly for the planning application through digital modelling and CGI visualization. The concept is to develop the elegant and sophisticated wooden facade fines system.

04 | CINEMATIC CITY OF PARIS student work in aa intermediate 16 | 2017 - 2018 Tutor: Sebastian Andia & Selma Mikou The proposal is to bring the identity of the film back to the site, Place d'Italie in 13th arrondissement by creating a film gallery to connect the existing program of the block within a sequence of fluid spaces. Inspired by last year at Marienbad, the design is aimed at conveying the illusion memory and uncertainty of the location from the movie into sequences of space by controlling the light, oblique and movement.

The proposal is to bring the identity of the film back to the site, Place d'Italie in 13th arrondissement by creating a film gallery to connect the existing program of the block within a sequence of fluid spaces. Inspired by last year at Marienbad, the design is aimed at conveying the illusion memory and uncertainty of the location from the movie into sequences of space by controlling the light, oblique and movement.

In this soft-scape, walls have to be bounded with air frames to connect to the ceiling or floor. Continuous and parallel sealing pattern are made in the walls to create narrow segments of inflated cushions thus increasing the rigidity.

More seals in floor, the stiffer it becomes. Softness can be controlled by varying seal pattern and distances for the floor. The curvature of the slabs are achieved by uncontinuously sealing to make the hinges. Also the different geometries of the cushions like triangular can create the folding effect.

05 | Pneumatic Soft-scape - An Indoor Campus City in Novosibirsk diploma 16 | 2018 - 2019 Tutor: Jonas Lundberg & Andrew Yau The project introduces inflatable architecture as a mean of controlling the softness of the interfaces and lighting of the space and reduce the amount of resource consumption in construction, compared to conventional construction method, due to its lightweight nature and easy for portable fabrication.The project proposes a hyper-dense inflatable campus to envision the future indoor city of Novosibirsk, Russia.

Using method of sealing intelligence, the softness, curvature and lighting of the interior are controlled for creating the new type of interior communal space for better sharing and gathering - a pneumatic soft-scape.

06 | ruins play city in central birmingham student work in aa diploma 19 | 2019 - 2020 Tutor: David Kohn & Bushra Mohamed The project targets at the design for an urban childhood and enhances the young ‘s engagement in the play space and children infrastructure. It aims at building a new networks of the play spaces in the abandoned industrial district of central Birmingham and creates a up-cycling dramaturgy for the formation of its future community.

07 | HOMOGENEOUS COLUMNS student work in aa Intermediate 04 | 2015 - 2016 Tutor: Nathalie Rozencwajg & Michel da Costa Goncalves With the operations learnt, the intervention in Morland, 5th arrondissement is set to become a “landscape”addendum consisting of various traditional Paris city “moments” to increase the potential value and public accessibility of the site. As a result, it is designed out of the columns inspired from the existing modernism building to increase the density and also belong to Paris cityscape.
