His passion and his profession is to merge with the crowd. For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer, it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and fow, the bustle, the feeting and the infnite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to beat the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world… The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes.
--Charles Baudelaire

Jump House
Located amidst a cluster of building blocks in a bustling residential area, this residence is designed to provide an adventurous experience despite its compact site. Inspired by "Rear Window," mundane everyday life becomes an adventure of observing and being observed.

Global warming leads to permafrost thawing in tundra. Methane vaporization from permafrost releases into the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming. This lightweight building, utilizing an aerogel structural system and artifcial ground, sits on porous and sinking land caused by methane release. The integrated methane collection and storage system within the building’s structural and functional framework facilitates ongoing scientifc research.
Abisko, Sweden, a small town famous for its tourism.
It sits near the main road in between two scientifc research centers and neighbors Abisko National Park. The proposed building will connect normal people’s life with science and enables them to know methane’s usage in everyday life better.
Gas: Tessellate tube system
+ Gas Storage Wall
+ Ground Gas Storage System (in Artifcial Ground)
Structure: Structural Aerogel Panels
+ Column & Beam System
+ Origami Artifcial Ground
The intersections serve as access points for utilizing gas in the laboratories.
Methanotroph in tubes metabolizes methane to generate electricity.
Urban Oasis - A Pale View of Hills
From the side, a whole range; from the end, a single peak: Far, near, high, low, no two parts alike. Why can’t I tell the true shape of Lu-Mountain? Because I myself am in the mountain. Written on the Wall at West Forest Temple, Su Shi
John Rajchman talks about the multiplicity of Gilles Deleuze’s The Fold. “It opens, in other words, the possibility of a ‘disjunctive synthesis,’ where the disjuncts are ‘disparate’ rather than ‘distinct’ and the synthesis ‘inclusive’ rather than ‘exclusive’.

Non-Stop City
“A society freed from its own alienation, emancipated from the rhetorical forms of humanitarian socialism and rhetorical progressivism.” It frees us with its blankness, its featurelessness, allowing us to be anyone anywhere.

Inside Out
2018 Visiting Critic Studio
Instructor: Georgina Huljich
Following Semper’s idea of having an interior masked by a simple form, the concept begins with an intricate space that takes place within a typical Mykonos building. The complexity of the interior is concealed by the vernacular qualities of the exterior. Like Semper, this project founds that an abundance of rich materiality and shapes can drive the overall experience of the space and provide greater contrast with the exterior. In terms of the exterior scheme, typical buildings in Mykonos are terraced of one another, built in to a hillside, and open up to south. All of these elements combined creating a group of units that mesh together underneath the curvy rooftop.
