My intension towards designing this project is not only to provide space for classroom but to provide new style of education. Whole steel structured building is easy to transport using tracts, it may go around the California with less effort and cost. Class room is surrounded with bookshelf, which may modified by talking the shelves away. I could be a desk, when students

Concept
Booksh surrounding classroom Bookshelf are capable of many functions. By taking away some of the shelf, it may transfer as desk for indivisual study. Also, the white bookshelf surface may reflect some light into the classroom, making better environment for students. 6 poles with electric cable and internet hub with trapezoid table and free-moving blackboard gives multiple class style.

Concept
Design
This project is to design a museum close to the historical warehouse located in Christiansburg, VA. This warehouse has been kept and well maintained by local community ; however interior of warehouse has not been maintained as well as exterior. Therefore I have focused on controlling visitors, so they could over look this historical warehouse as a part of nature and surrounding environment.

Museum of Nature contains 3 elements, a wall, a box and a bridge. The wall placed 5 feet away from the box, creates narrow and dark pathway to lead visitors into the museum. Visitors will walk through narrow pathway, surrounded by cold material, and maybe a little notice of blue sky, experiencing cold and dark space without sense of nature.
