Personal Statement Architecture fascinates me. From an early age, architecture has always been top priority in my vision of future. It was after one year of Nursing degree study at La Trobe University in year 2008 that I have recognised my strong passion in architecture and clear pursue to my dream. Despite all objections from family, I have returned to Hong Kong to start my Bachelor of Architecture course in Chu Hai College of Higher Education. The course enable me to combine the strongest aspects of my personality, a fascination with functional art and design, enthusiasm for solving practical problems, and working with other people. I am disciplined in my approach. I studied hard during my undergraduate year in Chu Hai College, at the same time I participated in number of competitions and won prizes as individual and group. I believe in my skills of design, time management and team spirit. In pursuit to enhance and broaden my knowledge and experience, I have joined exchange programme to University of Illinois at Chicago United States in year 2014, this opportunity has allowed for my independent growth and self-criticism. Optimism and self-motivation have been demonstrated by facing life and study abroad. Over the last year, I have worked at large-scale architecture firm in Hong Kong. Through my work experience as an architectural assistant designer, I’ve come to realise that architecture is a bridge between reality, creativity, imagination and execution. I’ve learned that successful project requires extensive coordination with a team of engineers, consultants and contractors who work on a building to achieve to satisfy result for the end user. Learning from the collective expertise of my team has not only illustrated how each project involves more than simply designing a building, but it has also demonstrated how creating and managing a construction project is organised and defined. My application for your university sterns from my desire to study at one of the best universities and from my perspective as a local resident. It also ensues from my deep passion of architecture and this is an opportunity to further my knowledge in becoming an architect in the future. It is my desire to experience more about the local cultures and broaden my horizons in a theoratical way. Considering my life experiences and my determination to be the best at what I do, I believe I have much to offer your university. My ambition is to become one creative professional who make contribution to a more innovative and sustainable living environment. Moreover, I am sociable, personable, and a great asset to any team. Please allow me to move forward and take my education and career to this next exciting stage.

SHARE YOUR LIVING ROOM Residential Complex
Back to 40s
Poorer Neighborhood
To Regenerate
High density context gave different space of intense adaptation. Also, occupants interacted with a living situation of share property. But the high density hardly provides a livable environment for occupants.
Urbanization development gave more sizable, livable and individual spaces and separation for occupants with high-rise. Yet, the increasingly closed -off living environment leads to poorer connectivity.
Rebuild the typologies of diversity with functions and activities that fit to recent lifestyle, keeping the moduals of spatial implication from the Walled City, but a more livable way.

2015 Haseko Residential Design Competition and Sustainable Traditional Built Environment Study. There is a growing sense in terms of Sustainability in the society pushing lives to be better. However, there has no clear guideline for the term Neighborhood Relationship, which affects our life styles and changes our society in a sense of human relation, and which has actually existed in the environment for years.

This project considers the Understanding of Neighborhood in an architectural design field to try to fulfill the term Sustainability. It seems, nowadays, people are getting more Individualistic and this reflects to the economy, city development, and the environment. The author believe that every member shall be willing to Interact and Contribute more to become better. This, somehow close relates to our living environment and neighborhood.

BACHOLOR 4TH YEAR USA EXCHANGE PROJECT
CITY ON TOP OF A SUBURB Tysons Corner Urban Housing Development University of Illinois at Chicago Studio In continuing attempts to become a more competitive and collective center of development. Tysons Corner center, now the largest mall in Northern Virginia, has expanded three times since it was first built, each time through the addition of new layers on top of the mall. This vertical expansion was driven by the overall growth of Tysons Corner from Post-World War Two residential suburban into an employment center and “edge city�. Yet Tysons remains car focus due to reasons of convenience and independence. As the basic concept of the project is to create a layer on top of the existing suburb, the building can extend out of the mall area, to the surrounding area, to become a new living style in Tysons Corner.

The new layer of housing is located along the edge on top of the building folds and crosses itself, to give a sense of different neighborhoods for zoning in such a huge scale of area.
To accommodate the evolution of the mall, the lack of land, the life style of the area, and the increasing population, the project proposes to add residential on top of the mall with the theme of building a new layer on top of the suburban area, adapting the trend of the continuous development of Tysons Corner Center.

To provide a better space for housing, public spaces are cut into the residential building, with resting areas and sport playgrounds, acting as private gardens and activities area. These openings also provide better access to sunlight, views, and ventilation.

As a result of the new layer of housing, the roof of the mall is no longer a roof, but a podium, which provides a public area with new amenities added for daily living for residents and interaction space for everyone including the shoppers.

BACHOLOR 3RD YEAR PROJECT
NETWORK STREET MARKET Out-door Market Design To observe the situation of the out-door street market, the street consists a long elevation of shops with various dry goods and wet goods mixed together. An out-door street market contains high density of people and acts as a pathway. It compresses shoppers and pedestrian into a intimate space instead of a flat space. Consequently, activities enhancing the neighborhood are generated, with a diversity of daily lives. The project creates a net work street system to regenerate the street form within the market, mixing the market shops with mini urban farms, by subtracting the shop area for planting and green area as a pocket space, to create more interaction throughout the market and compress more activities within.

MASTER 1ST YEAR PROJECT
水池肉林 Kai Tak Development Competition 2015 Landscape, urban & reverside facilities design competition in along Kai Tak River within Hong Kong Kai Tak Development (Group work with Victor Chu, Ken Lee, Joe Ma) Rather than proposing a one dimensional solution, we suggest the design of a series of diversified water reuse interventions that engage and inspire the community to have a sustainable lifestyle. Beginning with the fundamental 2D line, each linear marking on the paper transforms itself into a 3D object in space that is continuously fluid in nature. We propose the river to spread out with sub-channels into the neighbor-hood, by the effective recycling of the river water.
SOCIAL NODES Public areas form the important component in design, creating an inclusive community that allows public activities to flourish. The design incorporates sev-eral public space for a variety of inhabitants and visitors, enabling them to de-velop a cohesive community at Kai Tak Development. ECONOMIC The River Corridor is designed to foster a sustainable community. We incorporate an economical way as a commercial function for the project to maintain. To engage the participation of the Kai Tak Neighborhood and public, we propose different commercial and cultural element along the river. ECOLOGY An ecological water system is applied to incorporate with social and economic activities. In a sense of sustainable way, the ecological system is not only beneficial to the river site, but also provide a water utilized intervention approach for a better nature.
