This project is from Stage 6 at Newcastle University, the second year of the Master of Part II Architecture programme.
The brief is generated from the investigation of the Anthropocene, which means that modern humans have since become the most dominant species in shaping the earth. Exploiting peat bog has had one of the most significant impacts on biodiversity and caused substantial carbon emissions.

not only using the intertidal peatland for a acient and historical survey but also studying present-day evidence of the past to unlock insights about the far future.
restorAtion reinvent reseArch
The building aims to generate environmental awareness and civic responsibility by creating a spatial experience sequence to appreciate the peatland’s vast temporal breadth and establish a dialogue with the archaeological remnants; it also has the facility and space for peat bog researchers to restore the damaged peatland. People can have a face-to-face experience with peat when they go down to the gallery space.

Visualisation is a key component of effetive commnication in architecture. While during my free time, I am interested in sports cars and using 3d modelling software to create some modules that I am inspired. This serie of rendering was created by Blender and photoshop, showing my skill of rendering and product 3d modeling and design.
Model making is an important approach for architectural thinking and also architectural representation. Throughout the years of studying and practicing architecture, I try to reflect on what has been made to understand the insights and knowledges. At the same time, I also use model as an representation approach, showing my final design intention.
As much as I love traveling and intercultural commnucation, photography has been one of my most exiciting hoobies to do when I travel somewhere. The photo composition is as critical, if not more, as creating a building. Through a lens, I also using cinematic techniques to generate the emtions that I want the viewers to feel when they see my photos.
