FCAP MASTER STUDIO D 2019, INDIVIDUAL PROJECT, MASTER DEGREE

Inspired by the diverse demography and industrial background of Footscray, this project embraces the architectural strategy of intervention and preserves the heritage building and warehouses on the given site. On top of the refurbishment of creating an open floor plan and flexible use of spaces, multi-layers of circulations connection sever new public programs are placed inserted with the existing structure, and a second roof on top of the current roofing is created to encompass as well as providing new opportunities for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s below. The design aims to interrogate the conflicting expectations for the future development of Footscray. It is a proposal for the current art centre to serve a wider and more diverse group of users while preserving the local characteristics and cultural background through built form, programs, and the junctions of spaces and people.

BATHHOUSE MASTER STUDIO C 2019, INDIVIDUAL PROJECT, MASTER DEGREE

Exploring the typology of the bathhouse and its architectural value in the modern society, this project is an experiment studying the ritual experience of bathing, potential activities for community integration, and mental wellness with critical responses to the selected site tackling its issues of steep terrain, flooding, overshading and diverse demographics. With further research in light, nature, geometries and body gesture, this project intends to introduce a sensorial journey of gradually entering the water from the busy transportation junction surrounding the site and to promote relaxation, physical practices and social interaction as ways of relieving the urban life stress for the users.

A STRUCTRUAL CONCEPT

Structure follows feasibility. Structure is considered to 7500 minimise its affect on the quality of office space. Large spans are used to concentrate structure on the perimeter and provide as much column free space as possible and as many 1 uninterrupted views as possible. Structure is also used to embellish the form of the building, vertical lines appearing through the facade which emphasize the height and the flowing form of the tower's 'pinch'. Belt trusses also emphasize the segmentation and scale of the tower.

As for structure, Bundled Tube-in-tube is adopted as the primary system with two additional mega columns placed at the farthest end of the floor plan to maximise the potential leasing depth as well as emphasizing the openness and lightness of internal space. The facade system of the tower is a double skin ventilated facade with semitransparent PV Modules integrated into the external skin for energy efficiency and visual consistency. Structural glass fins are utilized at the podium where maximum solar access and visual clearance are required in providing a sense of welcoming for the people entering or walling pass the building.

Taking the Guangzhou International Finance Center as the primary precedent. The design of our high rise tower aims to engage the surrounding context with gentle approaches in term of form, boundaries, and structure. It embraces a pinwheel-like floor plans that can be seen as three rectangular spaces, rotated 60 degrees from one central point and jointed at the cores where most of the services and vertical circulations are provided. A gradually decline then release in floor areas happens at the highrise floor plans, in which, this changes reflected in building form create a dynamic silhouette of the tower to visually reduce the compression generated by its massive volume.

This biomimetic sculpture piece is an experiment on future instrument. It is designed to encourage the player to enter a meditation mood of listening to their own body. It aims to helps he or she escapes from the noise and hypocrisy of modern society. As the player inhale and exhale into the mouthpieces, airflow from the inner body acts as running bloodstream, travels inside the pipes that mimic the shape of vessels. The vibration it produced and the sound generated in the sharing chamber at the end of the instrument will resonate with the natural flow in the human body, and bring out the inner rhythm.

This project draws inspiration from the mutual influence between the Unversity High and its surrounding community in term of programs, finance, culture and urban context. It invites the public to enter the campus by providing facilities that are lacking in the community and allocates them close to the main street. The circulation from external to interior spaces is designed to provide various experience with changing spatial volume, undulating flow, and various inhabitable spaces, encouraging multiple forms of social interactions between different groups of people.

BOATHOUSE STUDIO WATER 2016, INDIVIDUAL PROJECT, BACHELOR DEGREE

Studying from three inspiring Japanese architectural masters, Toyo Ito, Sejima Kazuyo and Ryue Nishizawa, this boathouse design utilized and explored their ideas of transparency, lightness and organic circulation. [D]

With the concept of creating close and dynamic interactions with the surrounding environment of Yarra river, the building applied the organic shape like an undulating ribbon with part of the structure tilted up gradually and cantilevered over the water. The undulating topography of the internal spaces and green roof provides the visitors the sense of walking on a natural landscape, and the structural lightness with the massive uses of glass ensuring a great visual transparency, which maximumly introduced external environment to the interior and blurred their distinct boundary.
