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.

PEATLAND ‘THE SCARED DEER’
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.
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.

roof eleMent - inviting birds
Part of the visitor’s corridor towards the pilgrimages tower is designed in this way to encourge the nesting of birds Thatch is used and acts as a resource for the building of nests, a process of cohabitating with animals.
WAll eleMent - inviting vegetAtion
The design of the walls follows the overall structure of the ing and the logic of the environment. The building’s facade primarily made with a timber lattice that refers to the old plant. The wooden lattice structure encourages the inhabita tion of plant and vegetation life.
tion the buildfacade is old water inhabita-
The project also examines how architecture can actively participate in the conservation of damaged landscapes and see whether it is possible to change the traditional role of nature and humans. Nature is the primary occupant of the building and subsequently directly informs the design of the architecture – the human inhabitants are mere caretakers of the space.
floor eleMent - living With WAter And tides
The floor arrangement in the building intends to provide pools for intertidal habitats as the sea level gradually increases. The floor elements were not built to resist the concept of flooding, but to create artificial pools incorporating with the landscape. The floor is composed of stable rammed earth.
This year-long project is from the final year of the Bachelor of Part I Architecture programme.
The design’s origins grew from speaking to multiple members of the Baltic Triangle’s creative community and local residents, understanding the community requirements. The scheme functions as an upcycled furniture market, providing community interaction space, workshops, and studios. It encourages interaction at different scales and also has a sustainable upcycling idea behind it. Additionally, the various functions of the project aim to add value to the community not only on the building scale but also on a neighbourhood and community scale.

This research work was a one-year elective module running through part II.The research investigates the link between monastic living and sustainable practices. It aims to understand how monastic settlements have worked from the past to the present day, integrating a self-sustaining way of life into their spiritual
traditions. We started by looking at case studies, then site analysis, and gradually shifted scales from a more general to a more in-detail-focused analysis, aiming to discover the approaches, challenges, and opportunities for establishing an Orthodox community in Scotland that can incrementally grow over time. The model and set of strategies were developed to be used further in the next stage of the scheme, as well as to inspire a potential approach to be used by secular society, showing a deeper understanding of sustainable, self-sufficient, ecological practices that could influence new ways of living.
Researched case studies summary
Preliminary model for Ardross
The design strategy sees the gradual intervention starting from a small community into a domestic-scale building with similar aesthetic to context architecture. As the community expands, new buildings would be introduced, designed for the potential to be self-built and grow together with the community and their skills.
Church Wharf Development is a large-scale residential masterplan project based in Bolton, England. It will regenerate the parking lot area in Church Wharf and provide two- to eight-story apartments and public areas. The design proposal includes 12 apartment blocks, a care facility, and a hotel with public landscape space.
Residential blocks have been designed to interact with the River Croal. Pedestrian access and a variety of spaces are promoted throughout the scheme.

ACMDConcept-AHospitalFocusonthe Communities It Serves
This is a competition project I did with AIA Life Designer in 2021. We brought the CMD central medical centre concept, aiming to make the hospital a destination within its neighbourhood; it is a place for wellness and not just a place to be when you are sick.
Through architecture, the space will transform into an urban landscape for the surrounding communities, schools, and medical staff, providing a tranquil place for leisure and relaxation.

The Estee Lauder showroom for the CIIE (China International Import Expo) event was my first bulit project, I worked with my colleagues and learned how to use grasshopper to create the parametric model of the framework and fin shapes. And at the same time, testing different Acrylic material characters to create the table setting.
A 9-year consistent school means putting primary school (6 years) and junior high school (3 years) together. This is a unique school typology in Shenzhen due to the pressure of increasing urban populations and shortage of usable lands. This project in Qianwan, Shenzhen, is a pre-qualification project consisting of two main concepts - a courtyard teaching valley and a lifted green public space. I contributed to the masterplan, circulation and programme diagrams, facade design and rendering works.

visuAlisAtion Model MAking
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.
PhotogrAPhY
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.
