TWO TOWERS IN ONE RIBBON SURFACE AS STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
FIFTH ACADEMIC YEAR (INDIVIDUAL WORK) INSTRUCTOR: GORGUL ERCUMENT In Surface Architecture written by Leatherbarrow and Mohsen Mostafavi, the line between enclosure and volume in architecture has been blurred. This project is about exploring the architectural notion that surface is regarded as the structural component in both technical and aesthetic thinking. The building surface for the tower proposes a response in terms of structural stability and sun shading, trying to push the boundary of the role of building surface in architecture.

Double Surface The twin towers have two layers of surface which enclose the volume, shade sunlight from south-north direction and stablize the whole structure. Slender metal panles reveal and mask the building mass.

WILSHIRE CORRIDOR
L.A URBAN RESEARCH AND DENSIFICATION STRATEGIES STUDY M.ARCH 2 RESEARCH STUDIO (TEAM WORK) INSTRUCTOR: PROF. THOM MAYNE The research is the M.Arch 2 core studio. The context is the population of Los Angeles County will increase by 3.5 million based on the predication published by the government. Instead of the urban expansion which encroaches suburban areas and biodiversity, it's smarter to densifying specific areas so that the L.A residents can maintain their original lifestyle. We regard Wilshire Corridor as a testing model to conduct a comprehensive urban research, trying to find intelligent strategies in terms of urban densification.
DWELLING UNITS TYPOLOGY
In order to look at the densification in architectural scale, we select six urban corridors in global cities as our case study in terms of the typology of dwelling unit.

CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM
SPATIAL CONNECTOR BETWEEN ART AND GREEN SPACE FIFTH ACADEMIC YEAR (INDIVIDUAL WORK) This project is about a spatial exploration in a historical art district in Shanghai. The main purpose is to find a smart way setting up an instrument that connects the historicial context (art school buildings) and the urban open space. The arrangement of circulation is designed to bring students, visitors and citizens altogether. The relation between inter and the outer space is emphasized by the geomatrical altrium. The museum thus becomes a connector in such an urban context.

History, Art and Urban Park The museum is sited in an ample historical context which includes Changning Art School and a very compact urban fabric with a long history. Thus, Changning Park will be an essential element in such high density urban context.

FAILAKA ARCHAEOLOGY MUSEUM
TIME AS A SPATIAL NARRATOR IN HISTORICAL RUIN SITE BACHELOR THESIS (INDIVIDUAL WORK) INSTRUCTOR: PROF. CIAO This project is about an exhibition space in an excavated archaeological site in Failaka Island, Kuwait. The core of the project hinges on the notion that time has always been one of the most potent elements in shaping the spatial experience in archaeological environment, and in order for architecture to tackle the arrangement of ivisiting circulation, especially as a response to the increasing levels of the emotion, it must bring topics of ultilizing the phenomenon that different spatial experience results in different emotional resonance. Via the play with visiting timeline in architectural language, like a film maker, the museum revokes people of a feeling of sublime belonging to the archaelogical site.
TIME NARRATOR
HISTORY AND SPACE
There're different ways to bring time and space togetherfilming a movie, timelapse photography, or just simply sitting and watching. When thinking about building a series of countinous and sequential spaces, emotion is a very essential element.
One of the most unique elements in archaelogical site is that everything tells the story about time and history. Some remains after thousands of years, while others faded away.

The view of visitors approaching the site of remain is blocked by the curve walls and the building.
“I just step out of the car and have not decided which remain would be my first visit, the F5 or the F6?”
“I can see some pieces of the remain through the glass on the ground!” Visitors are walking along the platform closely against the wall, seeing the whole picture of the F5 remains.

SECTION 2
AXON-SECTION
Through the gaps on the wall, visitors get the panorama of the F5 remain.
Passing through layers of the wall, the visitor are getting closer to the remain, whereas they cannot see the whole picture of the remain.
Visitors arrive at the remain via going down the ramp which is against the wall.
The ramp block the sight of the remain, which makes visitor more curious and hoped-for. “Through the window and the gap on the wall, I’ve seen a small part of remain. Let’s pass through the museum to see the whole picture!” It’s interesting if vistors watch the activities happening in the lobby when standing on the higher level.

The linear light comes through the gap on the celling guide vistors to climp the ramp to the site of remain F5.
