There is a bridge in deep forest, being loved by people in Blacksburg for long time. The timber structured bridge looks that it has been dedicating to the village for long time, and seems that it’s almost ending its life. However, the surrounding nature are almost assimilated with bridge, seems that natures are accepting the scale of bridge as their whole. The museum of nature is a facility which respect and delights the existence of mother land. The combined layers of elements create the museum, and the continuity of the layers will be seen as how bamboo forest creates its whole with gathered elements of simple sticks. The view point as an element penetrates the combined layers will provide only - viewable space for the bridge from the museum and delights the existence of the bridge.
Pre-Fab-Education
The spreading sky, the blazing sun, and the hearthealing trees of mother nature. Imagine an educational environment that can be freely transported to any desired locations, while holding a structural capability of capturing and absorbing the surrounding nature as a whole. California currently possesses financial and spatial restrictions leading to an insufficiency of classrooms. However, I look at this as an advantage, and propose my moving classroom Architecture. 2 1

Energy, Active, Create
To live. Importance of living has been forgotten as the technology evolves. Did we born to the earth to offer some kind of knowledge to this world, so we keep gaining it? Or, should we just feel the sun, stand firmly on the ground and finish the life while seeing the sea calmly waving? Answer? Nobody knows‌ It keeps changing in the age, and will be changing as time passes by. To die. Isn’t it true that our thinking and beliefs towards dieing has been shallow comparer to the past? Perhaps, we are loosing our time and place. There is a question which we all may have, considering religion, cultural, and racial difference. What one is the world of the death? I assumed it to be the world of nothing. The aught expressed in the dark covers and carries out the life there.

Stop, Death
Sky and light losses its existence, just as the aught denies your own existence. Also, it becomes the greatest existence just as one candle about to disappear in the dark. In the space, you will fell the meaning of the death and warmth of the life by not being before.
Plinth
Sky garden, Tokyo
In the world largest city Tokyo, high rise buildings jostle each other, just as they are competing its existence. Cutting edge technology allows us to build high rise buildings, and air conditioners creates better environment. On the other side, heat exhausts and wastes are rising to the sky as a symbol of our corrupting society. However sky calmly surrounds us, and pretends that it forgives everything. I would like to propose this idea to all the buildings in Tokyo. The water spread on the roof top would reflect the sky with a little wave created by wind. And it will illuminate the sky as jewelry. At lunch time, it would be nice to take out the used furniture from the office, perhaps have a lunch on the roof top, feeling the glazing sun and appreciate the beauty of out motherland.
Project FireFly
In daylight, transportation is tied to the changing scale of surroundings by the speed at which one travels. When the light of day weakens, a different manifestation of a similar scale change occurs with illumination around a source of light. The Washington Monument and other buildings along the National Mall not only illuminate themselves and the sky, but also their surroundings as they link together to increase awareness of their own and the city’s existence. On a more human scale, Firefly provides quiet illumination of itself and the area in close proximity. The egg-shaped monuments of decreasing size lead away from the water taxi station and towards the city and utilize light to evoke a realization of the changing scale light has. As the bright light becomes less and less, passengers become aware of the difference in scale of transportation that is no longer present at night.

The egg-shaped monuments of decreasing size lead away from the water taxi station and towards the city and utilize light to evoke a realization of the changing scale light has. As the bright light becomes less and less, passengers become aware of the difference in scale of transportation that is no longer present at night. Additionally, each passenger is presented with a small pendant that provides just enough light to brighten the passenger and his or her immediate surroundings. As they walk away from the station, the amount of illumination from the eggs decrease, and they are eventually left with only their pendant as it become their own personal firefly.
As the passengers move from water taxi to National Mall, they slowly become lost except for their immediate surroundings as the size of the city overtakes them. When they finally reach the monuments, they are completely consumed by the light and understand the city as a whole.
