CROSSROADS BREW
PROJECT TYPE: Restaurant STUDIO 7: Professor Nathen Hawe DATE: Dec 2014 LOCATION: Kansas City
Crossroads Brew is located at Kansas City Downtown Crossroads district. This brew house is different, because it not only hold the product and a small restaurant but the brewing process. My big idea is to make the brewing process partly hidden and partly visible from the street. I create several layers to achieve this goal. When we stand at the street, we can see the pub space, and crew process disappeared, and reappearing again. Which make people willing to explore their own way in the brew house. The first layer is an corrugated, oxidized zinc screen and has 30% open, staggered-cicle perforation. It can be seen through, but not transparent. Which makes everything behind the screen partly hidden and partly visible. There is another function for the screen, reducing the noise from the street, which make the second layer behind the screen, pub area, much quiet. Third layer is circulation space. I create this layer because I want the circulation space not just for movement, but make people enjoy the sight of brewing process everywhere in this brew house. What’s more, the brewing process is surrounded by curtain wall.

TAKASHI MURAKAMI MUSEUM
PROJECT TYPE: Museum STUDIO 6: Professor Genevieve Baudoin DATE: May 2014 LOCATION: 223E, 13th st, Manhattan, New York
I thought about the project based on the site proposition. I found that New York is humid subtropical climate, and half of the year is clear, and the other half is cloudy. I took the most advantage of the area of sunlight and shading in winter and summer to decide the position of the art park.

The task of the project was to design a museum for Takashi Murakami, which is located on E 13th street, New York City. Through Takashi Murakami’s career, he is the founder of “superflat”. Superflat is used by Murakami to refer to various flattened forms in Japanese graphic art, animation, pop culture and fine art.
My building concept is “superflat”. The flat windows make a three dimensional building out of two dimensional shapes. What’s more, the trend of the movement is from less opening to more opening, which gives us an idea of solid building versus framed park. In my opinion, a museum for Takashi Murakami’s art should be neutral in the character of its gallery space in order to have a contrast with his art.

I tried to play with two dimensions to create an open and light weight museum. The only volume in the museum is the glass box, which also reads in the least obvious way. Lastly, the movement of flattened windows also transition to the higher neighboring building to the lower neighboring buildings. The light section façade also brings a contrast to the heavy context.

FLINT HILLS CRAFT CENTER
PROJECT TYPE: School STUDIO 5: Professor Judy Gordon DATE: Dec 2013 LOCATION: Flint Hills, Manhattan, KS
The concept of the Flint Hills Craft Center is blurring the boundaries between the public & private area. Using simple geometry and minimalist language, the project explores the permeability of the public space through different levels of transparency. In order to create a balance between the private & public area. I opened the library into public, also proposed a mixed-use layout, organized around the three craft studios. The craft center has three special craft studios, contained in three sloped boxes. Depend on different purpose of each studio, they have different opacity and hight. The craft center has two systems which are horizontal system and vertical system. I placed each box based on those two system. Also, each box has their own skylight around the edge of the box.

LEGO HOUSE
PROJECT TYPE: Museum STUDIO 5: Professor Judy Gordon DATE: Dec 2014 LOCATION: Flint Hills, Manhattan, KS
Our task is to design a new experience center of LEGO, which is located at the border of the Botanical Garden, between two existing buildingsSolvgadekomplekset and Geologisk Museum, opposite Statens Museum of Kunt. My main concept is creating a fluid floor for citizens and tourists to enjoy, which is follow the topography of existing landscape. And another reason for using the existing topography is I want to keep the most trees there. The curves and slopes of the roof which define the original topography.

The idea of Lego is about creative and diversity. I want to make the circulation diversity as the big idea of Lego. So, I opened my circulation space, which people could have different ways when they visiting the museum during different times. Meanwhile, my Lego house is a deformation of Lego modular, and the organic forms based on the shape of existing landscape.

JUUL FROST ARCHITECT INTERN
DATE: Jan - May 2015 LOCATION: Copenhagen, Denmark
Juul Frost Architect is a limited company with its head office in Copenhagen and subsidiaries in Sweden -JFA AB. The company employs over 35 employees with multidisciplinary role and experience. The founding partners are Helle Juul and Flemming Frost. Their ambition is to challenge,develop and be a credible partner in all kinds of partnerships. After I familiarized with the working environment, the I have engaged in a competition which is a community in Sundbybergs. I am responsible for preparing their presentation sketches. Give the life to the community by hand drawing. I need to add human life to that community. Below are the different way of showing the community. During these process, I have learned to use Photoshop brush to create maker effects on my hand drawings. I think this skill will be quiet helpful in my future study. I think the most contribution to our firm is the hand drawing. The presentation way is different because of my joining. The role I played seemed to fit my talents, abilities, values, and interests.

ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS INTERN
PROJECT: LIZE SOHO DATE: June - Aug 2014 LOCATION: Beijing, China
I was an intern at Zaha Hadid Architects from June to August 2014. During that time I worked under Satoshi Ohashi supervision on LIZE SOHO, a 124,000 square meter mixed-use commercial project in Beijing. My summer internship with Zaha Hadid Architects was a fantastic learning experience. During the internship I was involved from the schematic design phase of the project, participating on the signage and retail design planning and coordination with our client and consultant. I coordinated the architectural design with the engineering disciplines by using various 2D and 3D tools, including Auto Cad, Rhino and Revit. I also developed my graphic skills with Illustrator and Photoshop for presentation materials. Through my internship practice in Zaha Hadid Architect, I have gain more confidence and professional skills which will, in no doubt, assist in my future growth and to the future study.
